His Assistants.
The selection of Major GoethaIs to
succeed John +. Stevens as chief en-
gineer in the construction of the Pan
anna canal was due primarily to the
fact that he was regarded as the army
engineer of greatest energy who had
sufficient experience for the important
work to which he has been assigned,
says the New York Sun Another rea-
son was that he is young enough to see
the completion of the project. The
president has been told that if the Sc
lection of the chief engineer of the
canal had been left to the engineer
corps of the army Major Goethals
would probably have been the unani-
nous choice.
In selecting Major Gaillard and Ma
Jor Sibert as assistants to Major Goe.
that's the president had in mind their
fitness to take the place of the chief
engineer should occasion require.
Major Goethals receives very moder-
ate pay as an officer of the army. 1t is
the presidents intention to give him a
salary of about $15,OO0 or half the
amount which Chief Engineer Stevens
is receiving. Majors Gaillard and ST.
bert will also receive additional COM
pensation

When the Chinese troubles broke out
in 1900, Major Goethals went over

Newport r. l., from Aug. 1, 1900, to
June 1, 1908, in charge of the fortifica-
tons and river and harbor work at
that place. On June /, 1903, he was
assigned to the general staff.
He holds an important position in
the First division and is considered
one of the ablest officers in the entire
service. He is a member of the board
on Notifications and as such has done
much to aid in the working out of a
scheme for coast and harbor defense.
Major Gaillard was born in South
Carolina in 1859 and was appointed to
the Military academy from that state
in 1880, the year Major Goethals was
graduated. In 1884 he was commits

Notes of the Game.

Hayes was the best halfback that
has struck the Pearl line this year.
Pearl was outweighed IS pounds to
the man.
W.. Davis was a hero. His run Of
100 yards vas "a thing of beauty and
a joy forever"
Central could gain nothing around
Pearls ends, but made terrific
smashes off tackle.
With a bona fide Central team it
would have been Pearls game all the
way, and then some.
The social given for the Pearl High
players at Odd Fellows Hall was a
very delightful affair. The menu was
prepared and served by high schoo,
girls Of the Domestic Science Depart
ment. Individual ices consisting Of
footballs and football players in col
ors of the two schools were served.

SPORTING NEWS.
BY Leon.

Atlanta Baptist College Football Team.
The recent victory Of the Atlanta
Baptist College over the State College
of Orangeburg, S. c., by a score of 40
to 0, settled for the season of 1907 the
championship of South Carolina and
Georgia, which was in dispute. The
game was played at Augusta, Ga, and
was looked forward to be one of the
closest of the year, but proved Just
to the contrary. The South Carolin-
ians were no match for the strong
Georgia eleven. But the question Of
who is champion of the South is yet
in dispute. While Atlanta held Fisk.
to a tie, it has not met the strongest
team in the South. 1t is that Of Me-
harry and unless some -post-season
game can be played to decide this, it
is not likely that the championship
will be decided this year. Meharry won
from the A. B. C.'s last year by a
very small score. Both teams have
suffered some loss but gained consider
ably in weight.
A schedule of the games for 1907
by the A. b. C.S and incl results 10

LOST ONE-HALF OF A TWENTY
DOLLAR GOLD CERTIFICATE.

Mr.. Geo. H. Burrus, who resides at
at 901 Demonbreun street, had the
misfortune to lose the half of a twenty
dollar gold certificate. Just how this
happened is explained by Mr.. Burrus
us follows: "The bill was torn half
in two. l had sent g part of it to the
treasury of the United States for
redemption and had contemplated
sending the other part, but unfortun-
ately several Sundays ago while at
Martins livery stable I must have
pulled out some of the money for
change and dropped this half of the
twenty-dollar bill in the trash, which
no doubt has been carried or blown
away. l ann very anxious to recover
it and would pay a liberal reward for
its return. l do not remember the
number just now, and I thought, for
fear some children might have found
it and turned it over to their parents,
it was best to see the Globe" This
incident calls to mind the fact that
there are but few gold certificates Of
his denomination now in circulation
Should an one find this they will
please return it to Mr.. Geo. H. Burrus
ut the Nashville Post Office, where he
is employed and receive a liberal re
ward.

Athletic Association for Colored
Schools.


There is a movement now on foot
to organize a National Collegiate
Athletic Association. The movement
is receiving considerable attention, es-
pecially in some of the leading col
leges. Prof. S. IT. Archer, the coach
Of the A. B. G. football team, Of Allan
ia. Ga: Prof. Giles, the coach of Fisk
football team, together with other col
loge officers, have practically decided
that such an organization would add
20 little to the interest Of the games
and besides it would put certain
schools on a better rating with their
teams. It is being suggested that Me
harry, Fisk, Atlantic Baptist College,
Tuskegee, Talladcga, State University.
of South Carolina, Knoxville College
Howard University, Shaw University
and the State University, of Kentucky
should unite in this movement. Il

Cow Prices Getting High.

Chicago, April 13-For several
weeks the proportion of COW stuff on
the market has been exceptionally small
and tho buyers have made strenuous
efforts to hold the market down they
have not succeeded. The time of the
year is here when the demand Is strong
for this class of goods, not only from
local killers who want light cuts of
meat, but from country butchers who
have come to Chicago to get what they
want Lately prices have shown very
agreeable appreciation and look lofty,
compared with good steers, but that
they will go higher is very problemical.
Good fat cows and heifers are very
scarce and this alone ought to be SUI
ficient to boost the market. A large
percentage of the good grades sold
here this week at $4.50M5.00 and d
good many desirable heifers sold at
s5.0O@5.25, with a bunch of spayed
heifers at $5.75. II is needless to say
that country shippers are well pleased
with results
