city of Chicago, at the Coliseum.
Three weeks later the Boer War
Exhibition, Zone of the very few sue
cesses at the st. Louis Fair) opened at
the same amusement palace, for a run
of five weeks, under the direction of
Frank E. Fills known as the "Barnum"
of South Africa. l was engaged by
Mr.. Fills, to make the announcements,
a position known in the show world as
"official announcer" To better explain
this position will say that 1t is the
same as the one held by my friend Mr..
Mccarthy, of the Buffalo Bill Show,
which exhibition no doubt many of you
have had the pleasure of seeing, and
hearing Mr.. Mccarthy introduce the
features of the Buffalo Bill perform
ance. To those of you who have been
so fortunate as to see the above named
show, my position with the Boer war
production will Le familiar. When Mr..
Fills gave me my instructions, as well
as Boer uniform and large white
felt hat, with big red band around it.,
I was struck all in heap as it were.

ply walk into the arena and make the
announcements the same rs they are
made with the circuses. But when he

both British and Boer contingents."
The opening performance was to
turn-away business, and you can un-
derstand what that means when / tell

arena and made my opening announce
ment and gave the band their cue to
blow out the "Star Spangled Banner"
when "Transvaal," the horse was rid
ing, started to make the exit. But here
is where trouble starts in big punches.
"Transvaal" tried some fancy steps
that he hadn't told me anything about,
and it is needless for me to tell you
that he lost his sone-legged rider. There
L was fiat on my back, on the tanbark
arena, without crutches and the horse
gone. One of the Gordon Highlanders
came to my rescue, Bobby Mcpherson
by name, and one of the best pipers in
Scotland so / was told. Mac is an old
war-scarred veteran; and on reaching
me he said: "Bide wee, laddie; did the
beastie gang away and leave yer"
1t was one of the great sights of this
wonderful exhibition to see company
of the Gordon Highlanders in their
kits, and the bagpipers going as they
marched into the arena to take their
place in the line. That was certainly
beautiful opening performance for me,
and thanks to the staff of press agents
with the show, the newspapers made a
great thing out of my mishap, saying
that had been seized with an attack
of heart trouble caused from wound I
had received during the war in South
Africa.
The contingent was composed of men
of means who had left their homes in
the far off Transvaal for no other pur-
pose than seeing the States as they put
tit. These men had all seen service in
the great Boer war, and organized into
; something of their old company order
| and brought over to the St. Louis
Worlds Fair by Mr.. Fills. The salar-
: les these men received were $500 to
: $500 per week, everything found. To
: my personal knowledge these men
would spend from:.$5.00 to $1,000 per
day, seeing the sights of Chicago.
They were a hard spending, hard drink
ing lot of men as you could meet in q
: years travel. There is an idea in vogue
! that Beers talk English with Dutch
. accent. That may have been true in
regard to- Beers of the last generation,

of men discharged from the service at.

Another Account.

Washington, October l1.-Commls-
sioner Capers, Of the internal revenue
bureau has under consideration the
Encouragement and consolidation Tor
revenue collection purposes Of a num-
Der Of southern and southwestern
states. The constitution Of Oklaho-
ma. which was recently adopted, ab-
solutely prohibits sale of Intoxicating
liquors as beverage within the state
borders, and on January l, 1908, COM
plete prohibition goes into effect in
Georgia. South Carolina by recent
action Of the state is partly under
prohibition and partly under the dis
pensary system. To meet these chang
ed conditions the commissioner has
in contemplation the consolidation OF
Oklahoma with Arkansas as one re-
venue division, Georgia and South
Carolina as another, N ssissippi and
Louisiana and possibly Alabama as a
third. As an alternative Alabama
NAV be consolidated with Florida. TO
carry into effect these changes would
necessitate an Executive order by the
President, but the action Of some Of
the states as to the sale Of intoxicat-
ine liquors seems to the internal re-
venue officials to make some action OF
this character an administrative nee
essity. It is not likely, however, that
definite action will be taken for some
weeks.

On Account c. Si@ls>d Of Prohibition,
il is Said, yav>. CaEors Ii..as
Continuation CT Two Coilec-
torships Unprofitable.

Washington, October 11.-For some
time a runner has been current here
that the commissioner Of internal re-
venue, John G.. Capers, contemplated
the consolidation Of the revenue Of
fcers Of Georgia and South Carolina
in order to effect a saving of expense
to the Government. This movement
nas been brought about by the spread
of prohibition in the two states men
toned and elsewhere. The loss of
revenue to the government by reason
Of the closing of many liquor estab-
lishments and the consequent crowd
ing Of forces has made the officials Of
the revenue bureau here consider the
question Of consolidation.
Mr. Capers returned to Washington
from the south to-day and when seen
bv The News and Courier correspond
ent. said: II am securing all the
data possible on this subject, but as
vet have taken no official action. The
consolidation Of the various collec-
ton districts would have to be done
by executive order.''
According to the report Georgia
and South Carolina are to be consoll-
dated in one collection district, and
all the work placed uaded Micah Jen-
kins, the collector at Columbia, with
Offices in that city, tee Georgia Offices
being abolished and the collector
there put out of Office.
After January 1 Georgia will be
dry, so far as liquors are concerned,
while half of the South Carolina
counties still sell whiskey under the
,dispensary law. The business in the
latter state would exceed that from
Georgia. It is practically admitted
that after January 1 next there will
be little need Of collector in Geor-
gia. In the fiscal year 1906 the total
collection for revenue in Georgia we're
s595,9S5, Of which s372,3S2 came
from distilled spirits and SlS4,Ol5
fermented drinks, leaving almost
nothing from tobacco and the few
other sources. With these revenues
gone the total collections from Geor-
gia would probably amount to less
than $4,000 a year.
The only thing against carrying out
a programme Of consolidation OF
Southern states into new districts for
the next year or so lies in the fact
that to do so would be to abolish
much Of the political machinery by
which the Administration expects to
control the Southern vote in the next
National Convention. AS Capt. Ca
pers is one Of the Administration
leaders in Southern politics he might
hesitate at too early action Of con-
solidation nature. Georgia must be
brought into line in the next Conven-
+:or. and the collector of internal re-
venue Of that state and his force OF
men have heretofore been important
factors in selecting delegates.

car conductor and promptly wrecked
his vengeance-not upon the supposed
intrduer. but upon His Only Love"
Mrs. Anderson presumably met her
end after a frightful struggle. A razor
was used as a weapon and with it the
head Of the woman was all but sever

Mrs. Anderson was almost fully
dressed. Her shoes had been remov-

dishabille Returning from the Carni-
val she had removed the dress worn
upon the street and it was replaced
with one such as is generally worn in
the house over the discarded hat
and costume were still other evidenc-
es Of Carnival. Confetti had fallen
upon her and had never been brushed
away.
