A CRUEL ENDING
The Lonely Death and Desecrates
Grave of Laurence Sterne.

The Lonely Death and Desecrated
Grave of Laurence Sterne.
Laurence Sterne, the great writer,
was left alone in his rooms on Bond
street, London, in those last bitter
days, with a servant of the lodging
house for his only attendant. AS he
lay dying a knock was heard at the
door and a footman entered, come
from a house near by to inquire as to
his health.
The footman waited till the end, saw
the thin arm raised as If to ward off
a blow and heard the almost inarticu-
late murmur from white lips, "Now it
is comer'
Then he went back to the house,
where large party was gathered, and
told the news to the feasters, most Of
whom were Sterne's friends. For the
space of half an hour they lanented
him, and then the talk turned on other
thlngs-so soon are we forgotten in
this workaday world.
"Alas, poor Yorick" His publisher
and a single friend followed him to
the tomb, while ghouls watched out
side and marked the spot where he
was laid. Two nights afterward the
body was stolen, shipped to Cambridge
and placed, strangely enough, upon the
dissecting table at his own university.
A friend recognized his features and
tainted away when it was too late to
stop the desecration.-Myr Reed in
Book News Monthly.

THIEF GIVES THE OWNER HALF
Men Held up Get Square Deal From
Thief.

1t is unusual for thief to be con-
siderate enough to divide spoils with
mathematical precision with the persons
robbed, but that was what happened
at the home of Firemen Butcher and
Smith of the Columbus fire department
a night or two ago. From ten-pound
sack of sugar, five pounds ofsweetening
were taken by the burglar, half the
lard was taken from tub, and a
piece of meat was cut in two, the knife
being left in the half that the thief in
tended should remain as the property
of the two families.

The mountains of brick and building

Gates that Americas will grow if she
is only let alone,
Americus will soon have to rent out
the police barracks. 1t is of little use to
the city, due to the good order here and
lack of occupants.
1t is quite cold enough now to keep
the peach trees from budding. and at
the same time the weather remains
thoroughly delightful.
What is the matter with the Macon
Americas q Albany Electric Railway
The route is surveyed, but there is no
turning up ofdirt as yet.
While the Central Railway did not
donate the strip ofland needed for the
Wirz monument, the ladies hope to ac-
compIish that end shortly.
Yesterdays cotton market was cal
culated to discourage the man with
bale to sell, and few sales were repor-
ted at the warehouses here.
Every citizen of Americas would re-
gret to see the Light Infantry mustered
out, but thus will be the result unless
its depleted ranks arc filled.
The order of election for bonds and
street railway franchise is published
this morning. Read it carefully and
determine how you will vote.
Macon IS trying to match Americas
on fire records. During the past two
weeks she has had So alarms but, as
here, the damage was slight. !.
1t is not improbable that other hand
some buildings than the new postoffice
will be erected on the vacant plaza
property during the summer.
If opportunity ever finds some Amer
icus women it will not be by knocking

With oranges at 40 cents per dozen
and apples high in proportion, it is lit
tie wonder that the unfed in Americas
ane concerned about the peach crop.
An unrented store or dwelling in
Americas is an unknown quantity now.
But there were times in years agone
when there were dozens vacant here.
Three large brick buildings in process
of erection on Lamar street, to say
nothing of building going on in other
localities, means much for Americas.
The travelling public is pleased at
the prospect of the additional train SER

JAIL LIFE is NOT HALF BAD
Negro Who Gets Loose But Always
q
Comes Back.

The sheriff of Marion county was in
Americas last night, having in tow Don
Fleming, whom he was carrying to a
zebra stable near Albany to do time.
The mysterious disappearance of COW
was the cause of Fleming's trouble
this time, although he has had others.
Fleming is a negro for whom jail life
has no terrors. He has been there so
often that he is regarded as an adjunct
to the building, and is given various
liberties. Several times he has broken
out of the coop, but aftert days
taste of sweet liberty would always
come back again. He goes for a year
this time telling the tale of the COW.

Country Has Hands Full With Korea
and Formosa.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Col, July 10
Count Katosamo of Toxic, on his way to
San Francisco, whence he will Sail for
Yokohama, yesterday said:
IF one will reason for few minutes he
can readily see that the last thing Japan
wants just now is war with the United
States. Japan has not yet recovered from
the effects of the Russian war. We have
not money enough 10 carry on prolonged
struggle in the first place; and secondly,
but more important with Korea, Formosa
and the rehabilitation Of Manchuria, we
have all the territory that we can handle. -
Asked what he thought of the passing of
the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific, Count ka-
toSamo said:
1T is move that could have been look
ed for on the part of the United States at
any time" he replied Il do not regard 1t
as warlike move any more than If the
United States sent a great feet to Eng
land or France"

with regard to the significance Of the in
tended massing of American battleShips in
the Pacific especially in view Of the gran
dose announcement attributed to President
Roosevelt to the effect that the navy would
furnish the world with a startling demon
stration of Americas defensive capacity. 1t
is difficult for US to accept the assurances
that the coming maneuvers do not possess
any connection whatever with the Jap
anese-American situation.
I'VE regret that Washington thinks 1t
necessary to take what resembles pre-
cautfonary measure. However, we are not
disposed to attach serious Importance to
this matter and have no inclination to
doubt the Presidents sincerity in assuring
the peaceful nature Of the proposed ma
neuvers Neither have we the slightest
doubt of the pacific and friendly senti-
ments of the American government The
people toward whom Japans blame is prob
ably due are the irresponsible sections Of
both nations

tatlon or the press His sole comment on
the probability of war is:
There is no feeling in my heart for this"

DORNOCH Scotland, July 12-Andrew
Carnegie said yesterday TO a correspondent
who called on him a Skibo Castle:
In our day new source of danger of
war has arisen In an irresponsible and men,
dacoIs press which is willing to sacrifice
even the peace of nations for the sake of
creating sensations favorable to increased
circulation.
Neither the Japanese government nor
our own has the slightest desire to disturb
thelr close and cordial relations. Each rec
oSh!Zes the disposition of the other to act
IN the most friendly manner, and they will
soon erect a satisfactory settlement of a
very trifiing question
The peoples of both countries enterta in
kindly feelings for each other and the lead
ing statesmen of both countries believe
each other. All will be amicably adjusted
to the satisfaction of both countries.
Both governments estimate at its t,ua
value the malign Influence of sensation al
journalism. Fortunately, the leading or
gans OF public opinion recognize their re-
spnslbility and have the power to keep the
masses properly advised of the situation
Japan and America We're friends before
other countries recognized Japans future
and Will remain SO, said Mr.. Carnegie.
