War Claims CommissiOn.

The Seminole War Claims Commits
sion, appointed by the last Legislature
20 audit the claims Of citizens for SER
wees rendered and property used in the
prosecution of the Seminole wars, con-
vened last week, holding It's meetings
IN the Senate Chamber OF the Capitol.
Nearly all OF such claims had been adj
justed and paid by the State long ago,
and the amounts 80 paid had formed q
basis Of the Indian War Claim recently
collected by the State from the United
States. Claims not 80 adjusted are
now provided for by the act Of the last
Legislature In the creation of the COM
mission now In session. The commits
<sloners are Hon. G. e. Davis, Madi-
son 8, w. knight, Citrus, and j. H..
Barvell, Santa Rosa county. The last
two named represented their respective
counties In the last Legislature.
Among distinguished attorneys present
INC claims for clients are Hon Crom-
we'll Gibbons, Jacksonville; Hon, A. q.
Hartridge, Jacksonville Colonel X. w.
Williams and Hon. Fred T, Myers, both
Oh Tallahassee. Some Of the principal
claimants appearing before the commits
sion are Captain John T. Leslie,
Tampa Samuel p. Hope, Tarpon
Springs, and e. j. Peterson, HillsbOr-
ough county.
This will probably wind up the bust
ness Of receiving claims and hearing
testimony, and then the report Of the
eOmmissloners will be prepared for
presentation to tho Legislature of 1909.

Rcy. DR.. William j. Long.

President Roosevelt lately fired
some hot shot into the so-called ma
ture fakirs," his heaviest broadside
being given to the Rev. DR.. William
]. Long.
II find It hard to discuss his state
ments with any patience!" said the
president; and as a matter of fact,
he didn't discuss them with any pa
tience. DR.. Longs retort was quite
as sharp as the attack, and the whole
affair made great amusement to the
press, especially when Jack London
took q hand in II and described the
president as an animal ignoramus."
DR.. Long, who has been Congre-
gational clergyman. is a graduate of
Heidelberg, in Germany, and is there
fore trained to observe scientifically.
He loves wild creatures, and has
studied their ways, describing them in
several books. such as Beasts of the
Field" and Fowls of the Air"
The president thinks that DR.. Long
is a mere romancer. DR.. Long thinks
that the president is mere slayer of
animals. Both of the men are prob
ABLY incorrect III WIlul tley tiiiiih
about each other. President Roose-
welt has certainly shown in his books
that he is much more than a mere
huntsman. DR.. Long has probably
seen the things which he believes that
he has seen. Public opinion has set
tied down to a pretty sensible conclu-
sion on this subject, holding that no
man knoys eyerything abOut animals
and therefore ought not to question
the truth of what some one else re-
ports concerning them.
Even in Kipling's Jungle Book
there is probably a good deal Of truth,
and even In the careful writing Of
Mr.. John Burroughs there probably
turks some error If bear could
read the presidents stories Of wild
life. or IL a caribou could write a
review of DR.. Longs discoveries, both
animals would doubtless do so with a
broad grin.

friend, will have a sensitive regard
for your character, honor, repute.
She will seldom counsel you to do a
shady thing, for a woman-friend al
ways desires to be proud of you. At
the same time her constitutional
timidity makes her more cautious
than your male friend She, there
fore, seldom counsels you to do an
imprudent thing.
BY female friendship, I mean pure
friendships-those in which there is
no admixture of the passion of love
except in the married state. A mans
best female friend is wife of good
sense and good heart, whom he loves,
and who loves him. If he have that,
he need not seek elsewhere.
But supposlng the man to be with
out such a helpmate, female friend
ship he must still have, or his intel
lect will be without a garden, and
there will be many an unheeded gap
even in its strongest fence. Better
and safer of course, such friendships
where disparities of years or circum-
stances put the idea of love out Of the
question. Middle life has rarely this
advantage; youth and old age have.
We may have female friendships
with those much older, and those
much younger than ourselves. Fe-
male friendships, indeed, Is to man
"presldium ct dulce decus'-the bal
wark and sweet ornament of his ex-
Istence. To his mental culture 1t is
invaluable; without It all his knowl-
edge of books will never give him
knowledge of the world.-Lord Lyt-
ton.

Chicago Ill, April 24.-Joe Cans, light
weight champion of the world, is about
to give in to the demands of Battling
Nelson and meet him in the ring at 133
pounds, ringside, with fighting toys on.
This was made known when Joe, who
is in Baltimore, replied in answer to a
telegram asking him if he had anything
to say regarding Tex Richards new
offer.
Richard has wired saying that he has
offered a $4,000 purse for a battle be-
tween Cans and Nelson, the go to take
place in Ely, New, July 4 or September
3. and that he has posted $4,000 with
the First National bank of Ely to assure
good faith on his part.
Nelson's refusal to meet Cans at 133
pounds. ringside, forced the colored lad
into accepting a match with Harry
Lewis, and the two signed articles and
posted forfeits. Realizing. that none OF
the clubs around the country desired
the match, both Cans and Lewis have
decided to call off the battle and draw
down the forfeits. Lewis has a chance
to meet Gardner and Cans may sign
with Bat
The telegram sent by Joe states that
he is willing to give in to Nelson on the
weight question, but that the purse
must be split IS per cent to the winner

Being a member of the Olson family.
Emory Is a natural athlete and is a
good ball player. One of the Topeka
team, whose judgment is considered
reliable, says that Olson at the present
time is the most promising player on
the team And this seems to be the
general verdict of all the team.
Olson is still young in years. He was
born in Kansas City, Mo-, about 20
years ago and it was in that little
town at the mouth of the Kaw that he
secured his first knowledge of the game.
He lived in Kansas City for Is years,
and during that time he saw the ma
tional game as played at the old Elk
position park. He. was an eyewitness
at the game when Jimmy Manning
used to, run the team and his first
knowledge of the game dates, back to
the day when Marty Bergen and Char
lie Nichols were making the game
famous in the Missouri town. AS a
small tow headed little boy he used
to have his favorite knothole and later
as he became older and more used to
the ways of a small boy outside Of the
fence he learned the art of crawling over
when the guard was not looking. AZ
forwards he was promoted to the posi-
ton of waterboy and later he tended
to the bats. His playing on the 5uven-
lie amateur teams attracted attention
and a brilliant fture was prophesied
for him.
His professional career commenced
last year on the Tulsa team in the
South Central league. Late in the sea-
son his playing became known through
out the west, and a race for his pur-
chase resulted in which Manager Coo
ley won an exciting chase from Man
ager Baker of the Joplin team. Olson
was not exactly needed at the time and
was sent to Oklahoma City where Coo
ley soon recalled him and played him
in the position of utility man during
the rest of the season. This year he
will be the regular second basenlan.

in the business and rarely makes
error. He covers lots Of ground and
