erage age of the survivors is So years

tirely in the nature of a reunion.

AERIAL NAvIES SOON.
Confident Prediction Of Major Baden.
Powell.

London, Aug. 23.-Major Baden
Powell, the English expert on aerial
navigation, believes the question Of
air-warships is a grave and import
ant one.
81 believe there will be a time" he
says, mot very far off either-say 10
years hence-when we shall have an
aerial navy. Supposing that all ma
tions have airships. Are they to be
allowed to go over one another's
countries ,photographing strategica
positions in times of peace? I don't
see how you can prevent them. 1t is
impossible to fire at them, for as field
guns are made at present they have
not got the elevation"
Now that war in the air is threat
ened by the advances made in aerial
navigation, the question of observing
frontiers high up In the atmosphere
must undoubtedly soon be solved
Germany has become deeply interest.

successful flight of her new aeria

government alone shall possess the
right to build, own and use airship'
except in cases in which a special H.
cense has been issued. All use o.
private balloons, it is further propos
ed, shall be forbidden in war, and II
is suggested that an internationa

FASHION HINTS.

A suggestion for a graceful fig
ure-$.
The "new shape" is made of the
same material as the old.
Although knickerbockers are not
the thing, in swell circles the breath
is often found in short pants.
"The butterfly tie" is still the
mode, although for brunettes, in
southern latitudes, hemp is some
times used 1T important functions.
The vogue of the Jumper" as
"a garment for that part of the hu-
man anatomy which does not jump
would seem to logically call for the
use Of gaiters as corset covers.
The hose supporter has so UNI
versally succeeded the aiIstic ba!i |
that there il nothing left Of the I'D
fashioned garter but the "llpni
soft" maxim.
The turn down collar will hold
its own this season-if securely
fastened.
In determining the quantum OF
sleeve regard should be had to the
proportion Of arm available; Ike
less arm you have the more sleeve
you will require, ct vice versa.
Bathing costumes this year viii
follow, IN general way, as here
t2fore. the styles set by the mer-
maids and fishes.
In automobile costumes none but
the fast colors are employed, and
as usual. many are dying.
Hosiery is still worn rather full
especially by those inclined to be
plump, and sometimes it is also
worn threadbare.
In modish gloves there is no de-
parture from the standard weight,
and the period of ten seconds is
allowed for the count.
A variety of pleasing tastes die
tate the wearing of milady's Golf
fure, but the practice of wearing it
on her escort S shoulder is frowned
upon by danes de confiancc.

still prevails: "lf the shoe fit. put

Among Magazines

In the June American Magazine
Ray Stannard Baker tells more
stories of race difficulties in the
South. He went to the police court
in Atlanta and sat on the bench
with the judge-so that he might
look into the faces Of the prisoners
and hear all that was said. Here
is one of Mr.. Bakers police court
stories:
can old white nan, much agi-
tated and very pale, was brought
before the Judge. With him came a
much younger, comely-appearing
woman. Both were well-dressed and
looked respectable. AS they stood
in front Of the judges desk the old
man hung hts head, but the woman
looked up will such an expression
fearless and tragic, as / hope

"The woman WINGED, the old
man did not look up.
"The judge glanced from one To
the other in surprise.

he asked.

'E nigger.
"She was as white as | am
probably an octoroor; | could moi
have distinguished her from a white
person. and she de ,eived even the
experienced eye of tne Judge.
g Is that so?' asked the judge
"The man continued to hang his
head, the woman looked up; neither

and wife for many years and that

judge.
"Neither said a word.

later the bailiff came out quickly
and said to the Judge:

MICKEY FERRIN" A NAME HEARD
ALMOST DAILY AT The WEBB PARK

Many baseball bugs know the
fame Of Mickey Ferrin, local am
ateur pitcher of by-gone days whose
name now stands as the equivalent
for a wild pitch. Those who do
not know Mickey personally or who
have no knowledge of why his name
s such a famiia- byvord at base
ball games in this city have proba-
bly, heard his title shouted at Wc5b
park this season and have won
dered at It's meaning.
Long after Mickey is dead and
gone-as far as can be learned he 5
gone now-his name Will live as a
monument to his memory. In his
day Mickey held the belt for wild
pitches. Furthermore, his sizzling
hoists were of the kind that scared
several rods above the catcher's
head and were not inclined to stop
soaring until the ball was nesting
N mudLole located in the next
township and three or four men
had scored.
1t has only been about five years
since this accomplished Young twirl-
OF waS doing stunts for amateur
teams about Marion. He was one of
the star pitchers for the Kleinmaier
team. a nine which succeeded IN
last n the city league,
five years ago, without having won

"a single game. 1t was while Mickey
was distinguishing himself as a
twirler on this team. which was un-
der the management of "Butter"
Runyan, that his tendency to throw
the ball over the grandstand be-
came known. Before many games
had been played in the eague the
name mickey Ferrin" came to be
used by the crowd whenever a
pitcher threw over the catcher s
head, CT when a man in any other
position made an overthrow.
Mickey had world of steam and
an endless assortment of curves. but
his arm was liable to fly off at a
tangent at any moment. ,us-
ually when the bases were full and
the score was tied. Fms who re-
memebr his work say that if Mickey
had possessed any of that necessary
stuff known as control he would
have made a big league pitcher.
At almost any game down at
Webb park somebody yells the
name Mickey Ferrn " Whoever
hears it will Lotice that the term
is used only when one of the pitch
ers tries to knock the roof off the
grandstand. The name has catchy
sound and it is likely that IN Marion
it will be baseball term for many
years. Long live the fame of
Mickey Ferrin.

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the eur.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
imlamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Bustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t Is entlrey closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
