Submarines are uncanny vessels.
They have shown their capacity for
drowning their crews in peaceful ma
n%euvers, and, as an English paper puts
it, in time of val they are cowardly
weapons, for they strike below the
belt. There are those who believe
that submarines should be ruled out of
"civilized' warfare, and that the float
ing mine should go with them.

And so the woman and the child
were in the witness-box again, that
the officers of the great Government
OF the United States might take
away from them their husband and
father and put him in Jail, and send
them back to China-premature wild
ow and orphan.
J. J. Dunno is prosecuting the case
and Charlie Creighton is attorney for
the defense. Creighton was putting
up a good fight this morning, every
thing considered, and was at least
making things lively. He made an
other futile attack on the validity or
the application of the Edmunds Act
TO the Territory of Hawaii-futile
because Judge Dole has on two pre-
vious occasions, when the question
mas been raised, ruled that the law
passed many years ago, before ever
Hawaii was Territory, to give the
United States control of Mormon po-
lygamy, may legally be enforced in
Hawaii. This Ubiquitous Edmunds
Act" Creighton called 1t.
In this particular case, Creighton
objected to Dunno bringing out tes-
t!mony that Tam Pong had once be-
fore pleaded guilty to the same
charge, on the ground that such tes-
timony was immaterial and irrele-
want, for, he said, violation OF the
Edmunds Act Is not a continuous Of
Tense. After a man has been con-
,icted once he is no longer liable un-
der the Act. question Your Honors
Jurisdiction in this matter"
He was overruled, however, but no.
ted an exception.
Creighton objected strenuously to
the employment of Loo 10 as Chi
nese Interpreter in the case, because.

The juggling Of the accounts I'M

.HOOD0O" MAN GONE, OTHER
 NEGROES ARE DELIGHTED

Much to the delight of every negro prisoner in the county jail. Jordan Thomas the real and original hoodoo and conjure man, has been released His case came up before Justice Lewis yesterday morning and he was allowed bond.
 This strange negro with his strange manner had every negro in the com partment in which he was placed well nigh frantic. The first night that he spent there it is said that he was the only one that slept. The other negroes were deathly afraid of the hoodoo man and what spell he might cast over them but now he is gone and the other prisoners are happy.
 when he was released he immediate ly called his sack of ''hoodoo dope" and after he had filled about every pocket he had with the stuff he peace fully left the jail. Without doubt this negro would make some of the best testimonials for patent medicine men that were ever written for be- sides being a hoodoo man he believes anything that anyone tells him con corning medicines. He takes most anything that they tell him to take and to that he attributes his excep- tional good health.

COAST LINE DIVIDEND. True Nature of Recent Issue by thu
 COaAt Line.

There has been a good deal of mis- apprehension as to the character or certificates of indebtedness, in which the last dividend on the common stock of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company was made payable.
 The following article, published by The Financial Bureau in New York, show the true character of these cer- tifcates. which have now been used as a means of paying a dividend:
 "The dividend Of per cent declared by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company is not payable in what Is or dinarily called scrip, but in certificates of indebtedness which were issued by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Com pany in 1902, and which passed into the hands of the public. In 1903 the At Iantic Coast Line Railroad Company loaned to one of it's subsidiary coinpa- nies money to purchase certain proper ties which were again sold in the sprin of 1906 at what they had originally cost, and accepted payment for them in these certificates of Indebtedness at their then market value. at 93. and were accepted by the railroad company at the same figure in payment or US loan. These certificates have since been held as an investment of Ute surplus oi the railroad company, and $l'4o6' lVu are now to be used, instead or casn' lo pay the January dividend.
 "An important privilege belonging tc these certificates of indebtedness IS that the holders have the right to ex' change them. in $t,0O0 lots, for any new issue of mortgage bonds whicr may hereafter be created upon tht property of the Atlantic Coast Lint Railroad Company.

By premonition happy but inex- plicable, C. W. Cochran. contractor and real estate man of Highland Park saved $f,0oo in bills from burglar Christmas night.

 The burglar came promptly. but got nothing except a pair of shoes and some small change for his pains. But the burglar rifled. MT. Cochran's pockets. and left muddy tracks all over the room.
 Mir. Cochran two or three days ago received something like $f,500 from the Ivey Realty Company on feal estate deal On Christmas night he had s1,000 of, this money in bills in his pocket, He had not put the money in the bank, because he did not fancy the idea when there was so much script about and when he feared that he might need all the cash at once and not have 1t, nor be able to get 1t.
 Christmas night he sat up until after midnight reading before a coal fire. On retiring he hung his trousers over a chair, but after thinking of the large amount he had in bills he had a pre-

monition that he would be robbed dur ing the night.
 He took the roll of bills from the pockets of his trousers. He then went to an old closet and took from nail an old pair of trousers, into the pocket of whichNhe put the money.
 He started to put the trousers back on the nail, but he thought that if a burglar ransacked the closet he might take them off. He therefore threw the trousers and the money in the pocket in a pile of old clothing in the closet Then he went to sleep.
 The burglar came all right. Some work had heen done under the house and a projecting beam had been left. The burglar climbed on the beam and standing there was able to lift the win dow to MT. Cochran's room. He then climbed in and went through his trousers. The muddy tracks showed that the burglar had evidently ex- plored all quarters of the room as well as MT. Cochran's clothing. But the thousand dollars was safe in an ob- scure corner of the closet. The bur glar secured little small change and a brand new pair of shoes which Mr. Cochran had bought for Christmas.
 The police and the sheriffs depart ments were notified of the burglary and are working on the case.

COL. ELEY, VETERAN,
 HAS HIS ANNIVERSARY
Birthday and Christmas on the Same Day.

Birthday and Christmas on the Same
 Day.
 In Christmas Day Colonel George w |. Hey, the veteran travelling passenger agent of the Southern Pacific Railway, finds occasion for a double anniver- sary. He not only feels the interest in this great day which Is common to hu- manity but he finds in it an added in- terest because it is his birthday.
 Which birthday it is. however. is not announced Colonel Hey has been 50 years with tho Southern Pacific. He formed a connection with that road thirty years ago and since that time his fortune has been wrapped up in the fortune of the road. His first place was in the transportation department. He remained there only two years when he took his present place. The num- Der of miles he has travelled in that time could hardly be estimated. As suredly few men in the country have equalled or surpassed his record.
 And incidental to all that travel he has been making friends. Few if any railroad men of the South have a wider acquaintance or who have more friends among his acquaintance than he.
 So in the celebration of his Christ mas birthday he had good wishes from all sections of the South.
