TAKING ANOTHER RAKE :
Anna Gould Said to Have Designs on
Rake Number Two.

New York, October 24.--Is Anna
Gould going to marry the greatest
rake In France?
Cable dispatches received to-day
say Paris is convinced Prince de Sa-
gan has won the heart Of the Amert-
can heiress, who cast or Count 81
de Castellane.
The prince is constant visitor at
Nine. Gould's chateau, and is paying
vigorous court.
When asked by friend about the
rumors that she is to marry Prince
de sagan, the countess is reported to
have replied:
II am not going to jeopardize my
freedom again. Once was enough for
me, thank YOU"
still Paris is convinced that the
marriage is going to take place and
that 1t would be OF with the old rake

INSIDE OF A DAM.
Unique Power House Near baltimore
Constructed Under Water.
(Electrical World. .)

An absolutely unique power plant
has recently Eeen completed about 15
miles below Baltimore, on the Pa
tapsco river. 1t is built within a dam
and is entirely under water. 1t is the
first Of it's kind ever built and cost
much less than it would have II built
in any other known way.
The dam is 22O feet long, 40 feet
thick at the base and 261s feet high.
The spillway is 169 feet long, but at
present only 108 feet OF this distance
Is used for housing the power plant.
The dam is OF reinforced concrete,
the shell being 18 inches thick at the
bottom and tapering to 10 inches at
the top.
The apron extends only half way
down from the crown, the remaining
down stream portion being entirely
open and provided with windows by
means Of which the interior is light
ed. The shape of the apron is such
that the water is thrown some little
distance away from the windows.
The part used for the power house
is fitted with false ceiling hung five
feet from the inside of the dam SO as
to protect the apparatus from any wa
ter that might seep through the outer
shell OF the dam. The dam &c built
of a fine and rich mixture, which was
laid very wet. Aside from this no
precautions were taken to eliminate
water.
The water is fed to the turbines
through steel pipes passing through
the upstream spillway shell and dis
charged by draft tubes into the base
Of the dam, dropping into well sunk
some three feet below the river bed.
The water passes thence by way of
channel constructed in the river bed,
out of the dam. The intake Is five
and one-half feet below the crest of
the spillway SO that the trash racks
are kept clear Of drift wood, etc.

Had His Revenge.

The rivalry was great at the annual
cricket match, Police vs. Publicans,
and many friendly bets depended on
the result, says Tit Bits. When the
last batsman, Police Constable Robin
son, walked to the wicket the police
required only two runs to win, and
naturally great excitement prevailed
He batted with due care until a loose
ball came, and, hitting this past mid
on, he started for an easy run. He
got home comfortably before the
wicket was thrown down, but to his
disgust he was given out.

constable, II was yard past the

Throws Away Annually $27, 100000
miami, Fla. Record.)

An official in the Agricultural De-
partment, who Is well versed on the
subject Of cotton seed has estimated
that the farmers Of the South lose
annually $27,00O,0O0 by not market
ing their cotton seed. His estimate
is gained through the following facts:
An average crop Of 100000
bales will afford yield of 6,000,-
600 tons Of cotton seed. The cotton
seed mills Of the State report annu-
ally that of this amount 3,500,OOO
tons are crushed at their refneries.
Allowing bushel to an acre for
planting, the farmer keeps at home
100000 tons OF cotton seed, or
enough to plant 3O.OoO,OoO acres in
the snowy staple. y e ~. Ii
This will leave clear 100000
tons of cotton seed which are either
thrown away, left to lie on the
ground and rot, as in olden days, or
the seed are placed on the ground as
fertilizer. N-, .--y = l.s. ss
1t is estimated that out of this
amount of seed wasted there Is $2,-
100000 worth of lint, which is used
for all sorts of practical purposes
abroad and $25,00O,000 worth Of cot,
ton seed oil which ia never extracted,
and refined, which DR.. McCandless
states, is Of no earthly use as fer
tilizer. D
This experiment, with this state
ment of the waste that Is going on
around the country, will doubtless
cause more cotton seed to be placed
on the market.

One of the subjects that has been brought up every once in a while by the postoffice department is the adop. ton of stamp selling machines. There was a trial of such machines about a year ago and while there were some that worked they were all crude and none were adopted. Now there is to be another test of machines that will sell one cent and five cent stamps and postal cards. It is understood that some of the machines have been inn proved to the point where they will be acceptable to the department. Their adoption would be convenience for many places in the city, and it is known that they would be largely in stalled by hotels and drug stores and many places where there are not now branch postoffices. But the most valu- able locations for them will be in country railway stations and other places where there is frequently great demand for stamps and no way of supplying it. A stamp is one of the cheapest things, but if it is wanted and not to be had, it assumes q value far beyond its Intrinsic worth. It is very much like wanting match when man has a pipe full of tobacco and no way of lighting it. If the depart ment can get satisfactory penny in the slot machine for selling stamps 1t will be one of the greatest boons in the postal line that has been granted to the country population since the establishment of the rural free dellv- cry system.

pected to remain and be part of the display so long as the exposition last ed. Admiral Evans laughs at the re- port and says he has done everything he could to make the exposition a success, and that if there is any trouble it is because of the incompe- tent local management of the expo sition. The navy department of, course enters an official denia! to the whole story, but the fact remains that the British squadron pulled up anchor and left just before James, town day, which they were supposed to help celebrate, and the action of the war department in calling of a luncheon that had been arranged in honor of General Kuroki all indicate that the official attitude of some of the high officials in Washington has not been as friendly as might have been expected.

The speaker of the national house of representatives is second only to the president of the United States in in- fuence and even more powerful'as far as legislation is concerned. Everyone knows that the speaker is now given almost unlimited power to map out the laws that congress will pass. He has absolute authority to name the com mittees of the house and even the committee on rules without the con- sent of which no important bill can be considered, is under his control. There is no law or constitutional provision making this one man power, but the republican majority, during the past few years, have allowed this central ization in the hands of the speaker, to prevent the voice of the minority from being heard. Speaker Cannon has held a tight rein over the house and has a majority or the republican members at his back, so that he has the power to virtually pass or defeat legislation. Being one of the old-fashioned states men, he runs counter to President Roosevelt on most of his policies and although acting in concert with the president during the last congress. is really one of the "reactionaries" if not one of the ''conspirators." Therefore there is trouble brewing between Boss Roosevelt and Boss Cannon and it is stated that there will De a White House candidate for speaker unless Boss Cannon resigns some of his pow CT to the president.
