A Famous Cannon That
Did All Sorts of Old Stunts

The only double-barreled cannon
I'm the world is one of the historic
jcuriosities of Athens, Ga.
There is a history of unique inter
Sest that goes along with this old
kcannon Besides being the only
shooting iron" of this
Ikind ever invented, it WAS conceived
with a peculiar idea by the inventor,
sgNdr. John Gilleland, a member OF the
lRIItcheIl Thunderbolts, a local military
ycompany here during the war The
arditchelI Thunderbofts was a COM
fpany composed of men too old for ac-
tkive service in the field, and was or
tganized purely for home defense.
Mr.. Gilleland, the inventor, believed
that with a cannon of the double-bar-
rel pattern he could NOW down
Yankees by the hundreds. He had his
cannon cast at the Athens foundry,
and when finished it was hauled out
| TO the outskirts of the city, where a
test was made. One test was entire
ly sufficient to demonstrate that the
cannon was a rank failure. A fly
foot chain with the ends attached to
two cannon balls WIS the charge.
These balls were rammed into the
cannon good and hard. 1t was the in

was fired the chan would stretch taut

India S Appalling Loss of
Human Life Due to the Plaque

The appalling loss of life the pre-
valenCe of plague means TO India is
set forth in a report from Consul Den
nison, at Bombay. to the public health
and marine hospital service. He com
putes that the total deaths from Octo-
ber, 1896, to Deceber, 1906, were f.
411,704. To this should be added
495,000 deaths in the first three
months and a half of 1907, bringing
the aggregate up TO the enormous fig
ure of nearly $4,000. 900.
Not alone has the number of deaths
reached an astonishing total, but it is
added that the mortality in the first
three and a half months of this year
is the heaviest yet reported from the
epidemic. Figures for recent weeks
are not given in Mr.. DennisOn's re-
port, but from most recent data it
appears the death rate is running
frOmd $4,000 to 10000 a week
1t is now more than a decade since
the plague first appeared in India
Mr.. Dennison says, and despite the
strenuous efforts of the government
and various municipalities to stamp
out the disease, it shows no signs of
abatement. The epidemic began in
October, 1896, and the deaths steadily
increased for the next three years,
reaching 1866 in -S99 The NOR
taIity then decreased. and the deaths
were only $4,000 in 1900 This was

but temporary, and for the next four
years there was d large increase. In
1904, the year or greatest prevalence
the huge death roll of ,022, 600 was
reached. There was small decrease
in 1905. the deaths falling to 951 900,
and a large decrease in 1906, when
the total fell to $685. 900. The i'm
provement in 1905 and 1906 led many
to expect another material reduction
this year, but on the contrary the pop
ulation is being swept away at more
severe rate than ever. When the
disease first appeared it was worse in
the Bombay region, but now the Pun
jab district is heavily afflicted.
For all the terrible loss of life, &C.
cOrding to medical science, the rat
and the rat flea are 10 blame. They
the only disseminatorS Of the plague.
The crusade against rats has not
proved a success, owing to the preju-
dices of the people Instead of join
ing in the campaign for destroying
the rats, there are natives who feed
the rodents and allow them to go
about with impunity and to propagate
freely.
InOculation has been shown to be
the only safe protection against the
plague, but little progress mas been
made in inducing the native popula.
ton to take advantage of it. Even
among the European population inOcu-
lation has not yet become popular.

from a log cabin. The members of
the ThunderboltS who went out 70

That one test was enough to con-

the city and was never used again
except to celebrate Democratic vic
tories, the number of times for this
purpose being rather limited except

AFRAID Of
THE EFFECT.
Roosevelt Wants to Crush
Hartman But Fears the
Effect on Railroads.

The New York Globes special from
Washington, ID. c., says:
The presidents inciInations are
to crush Hartman, but he fears the
effect of anything chat seems like
running amuck among the great
railroad combinations of the country.
1t has developed that the president is
considering whether he cannot attack
the Hartman combinations on the
ground that, having been formed after
the Joint Traffic Association and
Transmissouri decision in 1897 and
1898, when the Sherman law was held
to apply to railroads, Hartman acted
in open defiance of the plain meaning
of the law, and is thus specially de-
serving of punishment
As to combinations of roads before
those decisions, the president thinks
them less reprehensible One of the
matters under consideration is wheth-
er it is feasible to try to crush rail
road combinations formed since the
1897 and 1898 decisions, letting the
earlier ones alone.

OVER BLOOD
RED WATER
Singular Phenomenon That
Was Recently Noted By
British Steamer.

She Baltimore Sun says that the
British steamer Winkfield, Capt.
Thomas Atkinson, after leaving
Iquique April II, she steamed away
for the Straits of Magellan. Two
days later there was a commotion on
board. From the bridge came the
word that the ship was steaming
through seas as red as blood. Every
one went on deck and found the
WINFIELD was sending away from
her bows spray as red as gore. 1t
continued for two hours, during which
time Captain Atkinson is certain the
ship had not made less than twenty
miles. The officers believe the phe-
nOmenOn was due to submarine up
heaval which stirred up some strata
in the bottom of the sea that dyed the
waters.

DIVORCE SUIT IS ON
Graham Kindly Receives
Him and Directs Way
to License Bureau
ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK.

The little god of love, whose usual
divorce courts as the pole from the
equator, had the temerity yesterday to
show himself in unusual surroundings
and rush headiong into those unhaI-
lowed precincts where he is most
reviled- He came at the beck OF Judge
Graham and his presence turned the
tragedy of divorce action into a ro-
nance. the unfolding OF which promises
70 result in the welding of two hearts.
Jennie Ligget, whose husband is a
sailor, appeared in Judge Graharn's
court seeking a divorce because She
was deserted seven years ago, and she
was assisted in her quest by Martin
fitzpatrick, a bricklayer. in the ca
paoity OF principal witness She de-
clared that she had no knowledge Of
her husbands Whereabouts, or whether
he was alive or dead. but that she
had learned that in pursuance of the
sailors prerogative of having a wife
in every port, he had endowed a PhiIa-
delphia woman with his name and for
tune. Fitzpatrick, appearing nervous
on the witness stand. substantiated
these statements. stating that he had
known Mrs. Ligget for the last four
years.
There was something in the manner
OF the witness that led Judge Graham
10 turn 70 Mrs Ligget and ask il she
had thought of marrying again The
fact that Fitzpatrick's bushes were as
rudy as her own when she answered
the question showed that the query
had struck home.
Don't you know that you are free
when you have not heard from your
husband for seven years and that you
may marry again without securing g.
ciyorceZ' continued the Judge
Then he turned 70 Fitzpatrick.
You are ready, Martin, are you not?
The license bureau is right over on
Fillmore street. just a block from here
and I believe that's the place you are
looking for. You'd better hurry right
over"
"oh. this is so sudden" murmured
Mrs. Ligget
Il guess I'd better get back to work"
suffered Fitzpatrick
And then Judge Graham ordered the
divorce granted and the plaintiff and
her witness left the court arm in arm.
