A. T. Pollock, sishtless Fan, Follows

an amateur in athletic sports. lie lost
his sight when only two years of age,
but has always enjoyed robust health.
Early In life he became interested in
athletics and during his school term
at Adelphi from which he was gradu.
ated in 1892, he was one of the strong.
est supporters Of all the teams.
When business permits nothing
pleases the blind fan" as his friends
call Pollock, so much as to get out in
the grass at Prospect or Fort Greene
park and bat out q few flies" This
he does by dropping the ball from the
left hand and swatting at It as 1t falls

ment that he seldom misses landing

WILL CHANGE
LOCATIONS
Kleinmaier Bros. to Move
Store.
MARION COUNTY BANK
Directors Lease Room IN tha
Fisher Block.
Changes TO be Made as Soon as
the New Frank Building Has
Been Completed.

At a meeting of the directors Of the
Marion County Bank Company held
at the bank Tuesday morning, IL was
decided to lease the room in the Fish
er block, now occupied by Klein
maier Brothers clothing store, and
and move the bark to this location as
soon as IL Is possible for Kleinmaiers
to find another suitable location.
A change of the nature has been
under consideration for some time.
The banks bushes has so increased
within the past year as to necessitate
larger quarters. Especially on Satur-
days the bank lobby is so crowded
that it Is sometimes hardly possible
for patrons to enter. The room in the
Fisher block Is just the right size, the
location could not be bettered and
after carefully considering the matter
the board of directors decided TO lease
it, providing that the business firm
now occupying IL can secure other
quarters.
Kleinmaier Brothers have an option
on the room now occupied by ID. A.
i ldllh anu NulllDduy' duu IL - NNly
probably that il will locate there.
However, the Frank company has a
lease on the rom until year rom
next April and unless the cloChing
firm can secure this lease the change
will not be affected until that time
The Kleinmaier firm has been con-
templating a change in location for
several months on account of a lack
of sufficient room to satisfactorily
carry on their rapidly increasing bus
mess. The room In which they are
now located is not large enough by
Ione-third and they are as anxious 10
move to roomier quarters as is the
bank company.
1t is very probable that the change
will be made as soon as the d. A.
Frank company moves into the new
block now under construction. The
bank will remodel the room in the
Fisher block and transform 1t into
one of the finest banking rooms of the
city

THE POWDER
TRUST SUED
Government Charges Com
bination and Asks For a
Receiver

Wilmington, Delaware, July 80. -
In the United States court mere
today the suit OF the government
against the L, 4. dupont Dene-
mours company, known as the Pow
der trust, was filed by j. V. Road
strum, assistant United States at
torney, and District Attorney John
p. Neilds. A. feature of unusual
significance is that Henry A. Du-
.pont, United States senator from
Delaware, is made one of score
of individual defendants to the ac-
ticn, which charges combination
and conspiracy in restraint of trade.
The government not only asks for
an injunction restraining the indi
viduals and 20 separate corporations
from further operation of the pow
der and dynamite business, but
prays that a receiver be appointed
fcr the three leading companies, the
f. |. Dupont Denemours Powder
company, the Laffhn & Rand Pow
der company and the Eastern Dyna-
mite company. 1t further prays
that the receiver administer the af-
fairs of the corporation under the
direction of the federal court until
conditions in The powder and dma-
mite trade in The United States and
in the commerce with foreign ma
tions shall be in harmony with the
law. ~

STARK DIRECTORY

New Book is Complete in
Every Detail.
According to the Editor Marion Can
Now Boast Of a Population
Of Io5oo.

According to the city directory
published by the Stark Directory
company OF Massilon, Ohio, copies
of which were today delivered
among Marion merchants, the city
has population of 10,50O. This
estimate was made from actual
count, declares the editor. Com
menting upon the subject the direc-
tory editor says: "When taking in
10 consideration that there are a
large number termed floating pop
ulaiion' in a city Of this size, it
would be conservative to estimate
the population at 10000. F"
The Stark directory is n complete,
compact and well-bound book. II is
this company's initial directory in
this city and neither labor nor ex-
pense has been spared in making it
one Of the best ever compiled Of the
city.
The book contains nearly 10000
names has a complete compilation
of the inhabitants. including the
maiden names of married women.
contains n classified list of all bust
ness firms and embraces practically
all the features that are needed for
useful reference purposes.
In arranging its street directory
the Stark people have distinguished
between the sides Of the streets.
The directory is complete in every
sense and it is very evident that the
publishers in gathering information
made q thorough canvass Of tho
city, as il seems that there was lit
tie overlooked.

How Soldiers Reduce.

Soldiers have an easy way of keep
ing their figures supple and trim. The
officer who finds his waist growing
greater than his chest, thus destroy
ing the symmetry of his uniform. eats
for little while nothing but lean
meat, and drinks nothing but hot wa
ter. Thus he loses two pounds or so
a day. He keeps this diet up till he
has sufficiently diminished himself--a
matter, as rule, of but three CT four
days abstlnence--apd then he returns
to his usual food again.
Many army officers OF a corpulent
inclination manage, by confining them
selves to lean mea: for three days In
the month. to keep their figures per.
feet.

The unusual demand for exhibl-

ments of rare shrubbery and sweet

ment to the progressive spirit of

onces of the exposition, entertaining
features of the highest order of ex-
celence will be provided. Harness
