Bandit Raisuli Gives Up Prisoner.
 Casablanca Besieged. !. TANGIER, Aug. 13.-Caid Sir Harry MacLean was handed over by his cap tor, the bandit RaisulI, to the Elkmes tribe, who in their turn have now set him at liberty.
 Caid Sir Harry MacLean is an Eng lishman. For many years past he has been an adviser of the sultan of Mo rocco. holding the post of commander of the sultan's bodyguard. He was cap tured by the bandit Raisull early in July of this year for the purpose. as RaisuIi subsequently, explained, of forcing the sultan's government to treat him with justice.
 The British government demanded the release of Macfean, and the sultan sent out expeditions and opened nego- tiations to the same end. MacLean's capture preceded the recent outbreak at Casablanca.
 Latest reports say that Fez has learn ed of the bombardment of Casablanca, and the feebleness of the government leads to fears that trouble will break out there.
 Admiral Philibert's dispatches say that the tribesmen are redoubling their efforts to carry the French outposts at Casablanca and that the situation Is disquietings

ON DANGEROUS GROUND.
Real Teddy Bear Visits President at
 Early Dawn.

 Real Teddy Bear visits President at
 Early Dawn.
 OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Aug. 13.--A bear to which no one claims ownership has taken up his home in the woods on Sagamore Hill, and in the early foggy hours of the morning he paid a visit to the residence of President Roosevelt.
 The trampling of the underbrush at the edge of. the cleared knoll on which the presidents summer home is sit uated reused the secret service guard to activity. While the sleuth went into the woods the bear came boldly into the clearing. When the guard re- turned to his post after vain search for the cause of the noise, he was given another start by hearing scratch ing on the roof of a lean-to at the rear of the presidents house. Up to the roof went the. guardsman, but what he saw caused him to stop and pinch himself and rub his eyes. As he was doing this the bear made over the oth- CT side, jumped to the ground and ambled off toward the woods again. The secret service men hastily organ fzed the household dogs and stableman into hunting party. For three hours the hunt lasted. from until o'clock. but the bear had got away His tracks have been carefully guarded and pre-. sent the only real evidence to substan- tiate the story.
 There are several pet bears near Oyster Bay, and 1t is believed one of them escaped and went to visit the president.

THE oCTOROON." !"

"The Octoroon" is the play that Polls Stock company Is enacting at Jacques this week. The perform .ances yesterday were fairly good, considering. and during the week "The 0ctoroon, should become ,popu- lar notwithstanding its sad ending. It Is really q shame that the regular goers have to see such an ending. There is cause for regret this week because Richards Gordon does not play opposite Miss Nordstrom, but then Foster Hackett is there Cor don of course has the most difficult role, that of Salem Scudder, and does well with 1t. Miss Nordstrom is just too dear for anything and as Zoe, finds favor with the audience. The play has local favor because of the work of Stage Manager John Fitzgerald, Martin Myers and Joe Hayden who have offers to join the company. The illustrated songs and moving pictures are still at the opera house.

Courage and pandyIsn,.

There still exists in many minds the ridiculous notion that the man cannot be manly who pays more than the or dinary amount of attention to the adornment of his body. There is no greater mistake made than to believe that well dressed men must be effern- inate. Courage and dandyism can go hand in hand just as comfortably as courage and dowdyism--if not more comfortably.-London Gentlewoman.

HARTMAN MANDAMUS.
Decision Postponed on Right to Compel
Answers to Questions.

Washington, March 2.-The inter
state commerce commission today gave
some attention to the step contem-
plated by that body to bring mandamus
proceedings requiring E. H. Hartman
to answer certain questions which ne
declined to answer during the investi-
cation this week in to the condition of
the Hartman roads in New York
Frank B. Kellogg, one of the counsel
who assisted in the inquiry, was pres
ent.
He told the commission that he
wanted some further time to examine
the law bearing on the subject before
action is taken. This was granted and
decision In the matter was post
poned for the present. Counsel for the
Hartman interests have requested per-
mission of the commission to be heard
by argument before a report of the in
quiry is completed. This permission
will be granted and the case will be
assigned for hearing early in April.
The question of the reference of the
testimony to the department of justice
with the view to determining whether

RicREY SPEAKS FAVoRABLY OF
BIRMINGHAM AND ITS PEOPLE.


General Superintendent n. NJ. Richey
Of the Sou.he a railway with headquar-
ters in is loX lie, was IN Birmingham
yesterday.
You know this is the best town in the
south said Mr.. Kichey. The longer /
so around and tie more ! know of the
other southern cities the more l think
that Birmingham IS the besr of them all
You nave wide streets here, sidewalks
ON which any number of people can pass
comfortably tie people so about as II
they have something to do and must 90
it in IA hour and the people here spend
their money. Ihat makes a good town
always. Money is III circulation all the
time. II is easy to earn money in Bir-
mnsham and when Il man gets it he
knows how to spend it.
IN Knoxville we have little mario
streets and even narrower sdewailN
Some of our sidewalks are not oyer hal
as wide as these in Birmingham, and no
more than two or three people can wal
along conveniently,
'Knoxville Is a healthy town. There
are great many people there with
money, and they are conservative. ihey
hang ON to their money and do not spend
it like lney do in Birmingham
Il look for an improvement in the car
situation in the next thirty days. ! be-
lieve that the conditions will get better
with the railroads. There will be less
demand for coal cars and Tie railroads
will be begging the companies to load
tine coal cars instead of the companies
begging for coal cars.
Every time | see these statements
about lack of coal cars and lack of power
! smile. That is not the trouble. We
nave reached the utmost capacity of a
single track. We simply cannot handle
any more business on a single track than
it will accommodate.
what is needed is more track, not side
track and yards but main line track.
We want double track and lots of it,.

REAL ESTATE ACTIVE
DURING the PAST WEEK
Mr.. R. Mcconnell Tells of Large Deals
Consummated Recently-Prices Are
Solid and Conservative, Though
High.

Judging from the activity beginning to
be displayed in Birmingham real estate
the season Just opening promises to be
one of the most active in years. In spite
of the inclement weather of the past
month retrospective glance at the sales
both large and small, made during Feb
ruary. shows a total that Is gratifying
to the birmingham enthusiast. Mr.. r.
Mcconnell of the firm of r. Mcconnell
g. Co. in speaking this morning of the
outlook for the spring and summer, ex-
pressed the most hopeful feeling. He said
that during the past thirty days his firm
had put through deals aggregating $4,000
Among the large transactions was the
sale of the tnree-story building at :113-15
Third avenue. which sold for $i55U, This
was bought as AN investment and will net
6 per cent rhe larger properties were
bought by Mobile, Montgomery and East
Alabama people. We now have a Cali
fornia party looking for business prop
erty who will likely make a considerable
Investment in the new few days.
Another sale that shows the striking
increase in former values was the trans
fer of a lot on Third avenue between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets at a
price Of $500 per foot. Two years ago
property in this block was selling at sldo
per foot An illustration of quick re-
turns ON a speculation was the sale OF the
Whitfield Oats last Saturday. This prop
erty was transferred twice during the
day and netted profit og $500 in the
transfer A number of smaller deals
were con summated including both subur-
ban lots and acreage property.
Mr.. Mcconnell thinks that the feeling
prevalent a few months ago that prices
were too high has given place to the
conviction that even at the advanced fig
ulres asked prices are stable and safe
and will at least never be lower. He said
that his Arm in the rental department
had a great demand for both stores and
houses and was pressed to supply the
demand.
