To hear all the noises OF tho city, the
many vehicles that come and go, the
automobiles, the horses hoofs on the
hard roads, the footsteps Of men and
women as they hurry along, but to see
nothing, absolutely nothing. This is the
experience Of the blind man who was on
the streets in Florence the other day. A
multitude Of sounds in dark night; this
is the blind mans day time in the city.
But these noises mean more to him
than to persons who can see. Those who
have eyes do not pay much attention to
the ordinary sounds Of tho city unless
they are unusually loud or harsh. But
the blind man takes notice Of them all
from the very faintest to the loudest.
He has them all classified in his mind
and is very skillful in determining the
source whence they come.
II want to know" the blind man says,
"the same as other pc ple.'
A blind person can feel his way home,
cln feel the face of his watch to tell the
time, can dress and undress without
much trouble, can go from room to room
in his house and find the things he wants
but he can't feel everything that goes
by him in the street. Ho must learn
what they are by the sounds they make.
Nothing that moves on tho earth is alb
solutely noiseless, not even tho smallest
insects. 1t is the fault Of the ears if the
sounds are not heard.
He is familiar with the different bells
that ring in the city and he can distin-
guish them asar of. From the sounds
that the different vehicles make he can
determine whether they are buggies,car-
riages, loaded wagons or autos.

GATHERING the CROPS so
OFTEN IS JUST ANNOYING

In feigned disparagement OF alfalfa as
Z desirable crop, dealer In alfalfa farm
lands in county in Western Oklahoms
is circulating an advertisement OF his
business that has caused SO much dii-
cussion that rural newspapers are repro
ducing the advertisement without cost
It reads:
I'VE hear great deal about the value
Of an alfalfa crop. Some people never
let up blowing about 1t. They tell you
II you feed it to your team you won't
have to feed them grain to keep them
fat; that it is worth as much pound for
pound as bran for feeding milk cows;
that it is one of the best pork producers;
tha. 1t 10 fine for feeding beef cattle, and
always will tell you about the immense
crop you can make.
"Oh, come off! Give us a rest! 1t
makes US tired! Isn't there another
sideS
'In May, just at the timc you ought
to be hoeing out your cotton, you have
to 60 into your alfalfa field and cut the
first crop. 1t sort Of worries you, Of
course, but you have It to do. Then in
June. just when you have chance TO 60
fishing. there's another crop Of alfalfa to
cut, and you don't 60. It's blazing hot
in July. and you feel like you ought to
shade some, but you have to get into
another crop Of alfalfa. You arc getting
tired Of the name Of 1t by this time. In
August you want TO go to the camp
meeting, swap yarns, have q good, easy
time and imagine you have got religion.
But you can't there's that doggoned

always been your custom TO visit your
wife's kinfolks, but do you do III Not
much. Confouud that alfalfa! In Oc.
tober you are done with other crops and
you want to go Cd to that gambling con-
traption known ~ tho county fair and
spsnd some OF your money, but you
have to harvest some OF that internal
alfalfa. And In November in despera.

AHMED BY LUNACY COMMISSION

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-That the
convicted Mayor, E. E. Schmitz, has
become mentally incompetent as re-
suit of physical disability and worry
and should be Immediately examined
by a commission in lunacy, is the opin-
ion of Detective William J. Burns Il
am convinced" declared Burns, that
Mayor schmitz is insane and that his
mental condition should be Inquired
into at once. incidentally l would
like to say that l am very sorry for
Schmitz. He has been the dupe Of
designing men; his reason has become
dethroned from brooding over his sup
posed wrongs He is utterly unable to
comprehend his situation The proper
way to deal with Schmitz now would
be to request his examination by a
commission in lunacy"

OFFICIAL WORD
Regarding FLEET
THE PRESIDENTS SECRETARY
SETS FORTH THE REASONS FOR
NEW NAVAL MOVE.

OYSTER BAY IN. ", July Am
official statement was made public at
the executive offices mere today re-
garding the report of battleship
fleet visiting California. The state
ment by Secretary Loeb follows
There is no intention of sending a
fleet at once to the Pacific For the
last two years the Administration has
been perfecting it's plans to arrange
for a long ocean cruise of the BATTLE
ship fleet wnen a sufficient number Of
war ships are gathered. This cruise
may be to the Pacific, but might pos
sibly be only to the Mediterranean or
the South Atlantic. 1t may possibly
take place next winter, but, on the
other hand, it may be convenient to
arrange it until later. In any event,
after a few months the feet will be
brought back together to the Atlantic
Whether the voyage is made or not,
whether the fleet stays in the Atlantic
or goes to the Pacific, will be deter
mined simply as a matter of routine
in the management and drill of the
Navy 1t is now part of the settled
policy of the Navy Department in its
effort to keep the Navy up to the
highest point of efficiency always to
keep the battleships together, maneu-
vering as a fleet, composed of several
squadrons, and it is desirable that
this fleet should from time to time
take a long voyage
THE relations between the United
States and all other powers never
were more peaceful and friendly than
at the present time, and if the fleet
were sent to the Pacific the fact would
possess no more significance than the
further fact that three or four months
later it would be withdrawn from the
Pacific. Both would merely be part OF
the ordinary routine of the naval adj
ministration.

BIGGER Came
SAYS HE WILL LAND SOUTHERN
PACIFIC POLITICAL MANAGER
AND GENERAL OTIS.

LOS ANGELES, July 5.-"I'm going
to send General Harrison Gray Otis
of the Los Angeles Times" Pat Cal
houn of the United Railroads and Will
liam F. Herrin. the arch-criminal of
California, to Jail before I'm through,
roared Francis ]. Heney, one of the
leaders of the graft prosecution in
San Francisco, tonight which address,
ing a great gathering at Simpson Au-
ditorium.
AS he banged his open hand on the
table to emphasize his words, the
great crowd arose and cheered for
fully two minutes. 1t was the great
est outburst of enthusiasm that Los
Angeles has known.
The reputation of General Otis as an
assassin of character is notorious in
the southern part of the State and
Heney could not have hit his hearers
any harder than by promising to send
the Hero Of the Rubicon' to States
prison.
Were making your fight in San
Francisco" said Mr.. Heney. Were
making the fight of the State of Cali
fornia in San Francisco and we're
making the fight of the whole United
States in San Francisco, and no char
acter assassins like Otis can stop US
for a minute. l am going back to San
To Do 10 In, hn
penitentiary and when l am through,
beware Harrison Gray Otis that
don't come back and get you. If
don't come it will only be because
don't think that a man who hid behind
dead mule in Caloocan is worth the
trouble.
"a man who calumniates me for
having killed a man-and it was a
most unfortunate necessity-in order
to protect a woman, is too cowardly a
cur and too infamous a liar for me
ever to slap his face as it was slapped
| before"
Mr.. Heney said he had been behind
| the curtains and knew of what he twas
speaking. He had discovered there
two persons whose excoriation was
more grateful to this audience, who
wanted graft exposed, than any others
These were w. F. Herrin, the boss Of
the Southern Pacific machine in Cali
fornia, and H. G. Otis, who is lending
his support to Patrick Calhoun of the

.BATTLESHIPS 70
BE- STILL bigger
THE UNITED STATES NOW LEADS
BUT OTHER NATIONS WILL
PROBABLY INCREASE

WASHINGTON, July &c b. Or
cult, president of the Newport News
Shipbuilding Company, of Newport
News, Va, the company which recent
ly received the contract for the con-
struction of one of our first 20,000-tOn
battleships, gives it as his opinion that
while so far the United States is in
the lead in the size of battleships au-
thorized, there is serious doubt wheth-
er even this large tonnage will not be
exceeded by other nations i'm the near
future.
THE two large 2O,OOO-ton battleships
to be built for the American navy will
be the largest fighting machines afloat
when they are completed" said Mr..
Orcult, but how long they will retain
the premiership is the question.
The English Dreadnaught is of 49,
600 tons, and Japan has one ship Of
10, 900 tons. The Improvement in bat
tleship construction has been so rapid
in the last few years that before a big
warship can be finished, modern in
genuity has devised improvements that
make the new boats almost out of date.
Take the Indiana and Iowa, which
have Just been retired, principally
because the navy has not enough men
to equip all of its vessels. They we're
the foremost representatives of first
class battleships in the war with Spain.
but they are now almost out of date,
although they have not by any means
lost their usefulness.
The need of a formidable navy in
this country is apparent. With the eX-
tension of our dominion over islands in
the Pacific and other waters we must
have more ships We do not need as
large a navy as England, and probably
never shall. The British Islands new
err have more than a three months
supply of food and England, there
fore, must needs have a navy large
enough and powerful enough to with
stand those of any other two countries
She would starve to death in a short
time were she cut off from the outside
world With the boundless riches of
our interior, however, we would have
food enough to keep us forever, with

THE ESCAPE IS
IN JAIL AGAIN
HIGH SHERIFF HENRY GETS CHI
NESE WHO WALKED OUT Or
JAIL SOME WEEKS AGO.

High Sheriff Henry nabbed an es-
capped prisoner early this morning.
Chu SEQ, alias All Sing, was the man
taken into custody. There was dust
on the soles of the High Sheriff's
shoes when he arrived in town with
this prisoner, but there was no grass
growing under the feet of the official.
Chu is the Chink who escaped from
the police station cell some weeks ago.
1t was thought at the time that the
Chinese had escaped by going over the
back wall, but according to the story
he told to his captor, Sing did moth
ing of the sort, but walked out of the
front door of the Jail, in quite gen.
teel, refined manner. The escape re-
suited in Turnkey Melanphy having 20
leave the service of the police force,
as it was on Melanphy's watch that
the Chinese escaped.
1t seems that Chu found his cell
door open and walking out while the
turnkey was elsewhere, proceeded to
the front door In taking this route
the Chinese had to pass within ten
feet of the desk clerk, who evidently
did not see him. After leaving Homo
lulu the Chinese went to Koolau and
went to work at Laie for time. Then
he went to Kahana where he has been
living with some Chinese for some
days past. Yesterday a white man
and a native noticed the strange Chi
nese and thought he resembled the
missing escape. The fellow was taken
into custody in the evening and march
ed to Mr.. Renton's house.
The High Sheriff and other local au-
authorities were notified. The High
Sheriff was asked whether the man
should be held on the mere suspicion
of his being the escape, The Sheriff
told the men to hold him until his ar
rival from Honolulu. Renton hitched
up his team and the party was driven
to Kaneohe where the High Sheriff
had told them to await his arrival.
Early this morning High Sheriff
Henry arrived at Kaneohe Although
Chu had changed his prison suit for
ordinary clothes and was thinner than
when the High Sheriff last saw him,
the officer recognized him Chu denied
