WAS SUCCEED BY HIcHwAYMAM
Former Americas Man Assaulted
and Robbed.

Mr.. Amos X. Clark, who was shot
down and robbed of several hundred
dollars in Augusta night or two since,
is a former resident of Americas and
well remembered here, where he was
for several years engaged in business.
Mr.. Clark, who is now interested in
cotton mill in Augusta, was conveying
large sum from the bank to the mill
on account ofpay day. When near the
mill he was accosted by stranger, who
walked beside him for short distance
and then without warning discharged a
pistol at Clark's head. The nearness
of the weapon alone saved Clark's life,
the bullet striking below the left ear
and glancing forward. The robber
then snatched CIark's satchel and
escaped. Most of the money was in an
inside pocket.

agree with me. They heard people come in
and tell me that for years they had been near
the grave with Bright's disease, or lung
trouble, or kidney complaint and all man
ner of diseases and that the New Discovery
had cured them. OF course these people
were mistaken, it was nothing but their
stomachs. AS matter of fact when the
stomach gives out most everything else is
thrown out of order too.

of things are the matter with him. Nine
chances to one it's his stomach. I've
seen Cooper's New Discovery bring back
health to too many people in just this
shape to believe anything else. Here's a
letter about it:

The Corpse Plant.

The corpse plant is remarkable
carnivorous specimen that grows in
the colony of Natal. It's principal
feature is a bell shaped mouth, with
a throat opening into a hollow STEM
1t is almost black and covered with
a thick, glutinous secretion, while it's
odor is very offensive. This attracts
earrion feeding birds to it, and once
they alight on it they are lost. Their
claws become entangled in the secre-
ton, the bell shaped mouth folds up,
and they are literally swallowed.

THIS IS MY 57TH BIRTHDAY,
Viscount Hayashi.

viscount Tadasu Hayashi, one of
the foremost of the statesmen of mod
ern Japan, was born at Sakura, in the
province of Shimosa, February %,
1850. After receiving his education
in the best schools and travelling ex-
tensively in America, Europe and 9TH
er parts of the world, he was started
on a diplomatic career by his govern
ment. He served several years as
secretary to various of the Japanese
embassies in Europe, but was called
in 1889 to become Governor of Kobe.
Then came a term of four years as
vice-minister of foreign affairs, after
which he was made minister to China.
In 1900 he was appointed Japanese
envoy to the Court of st. James and
1t was largely due to his excellent
services that the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance was brought about, which did the
empire of the Mikado no end of good,
directly and indirectly, in the great
war with Russia. Viscount Hayashi
has translated in Japanese the works
of a number of the foremost American
and English authors on political econ

Origin Of Word aBlizzard.,

Blizzard" Is an American word. The
date and circumstances of its origin
are obscure. Though it was first COM
monty used by the American newspa-
pers as good word for a snow squall
in the winter of 188S-1SS1, it is said to
have been known to the west in that
sense nearly twenty years earlier.
From an English writer of 1884 this
sentence is quoted: "A gentleman at
dinner asked me for toast, and, sup
posing he meant to have some fun at
my expense, concluded to go ahead
and give him and his likes a blizzard"
Here blizzard" might we'll mean
metaphorical volley, which would
square with the evidence of cprre-
spondent Of an American pape", who
recalled that in the 4Os a "blizzard''
was particular kind of volley-a rat
thing one fired in quick succession, as
opposed to Simultaneous "broadside"
affected by sportsmen on the Attain
tic coast, who shot at flights of mlgra-
tory birds from behind screens.

Red Feather.

AtCu CCdtuCrs
This Is the opinion of the critic of
the Evening Telegram, Portland, Ore.
Red Feather" has been here be-
fore, but those who saw its produce
ton last night didn't know it, for at
it's former appearance it was emas-
culated of all that might have given
1t virility and appeal. It had no star,
and think of our solar system with
out the sun. Grace Van Studdiford
was the whole thing in the romantic
opera on the other occasion, and min
us her brilliant but erratic voice, her
nimble grace and dramatic equipoise,
it was nothing, but Cheridah Simpson
presents a strilingly different sort OF
production. She has realized that
De KOven wrote a lot of excellent
music for other people In the cast be-
sides the star, and the result is that
solos, choruses and ensemble keep up
unfagging interest in the show, while
the Woodworking and capitally clever
comedians entertain sufficiently be-
tween times. "A better cast and more
evenly balanced company has not been
seen here in comic opera for. a long
time.
The plump Cheridah, while not so
sprightly as the coquettish and svelte
Van Studdiford, possesses a sweeter
voice, with tenderer human note IN
it, and she doesn't shirk. She gives
her audience its moneys worth, and
gives the other people in the play a
chance to win hand.
OF course, there is plot to RED
Feather" but it is small and easy to
take, and the way Cheridah mixes up
her identity reminds one of Cissy LOT
tus' famous vaudeville stunt, where
she says, Ladies and gentlemen, l
will now give you an limitation of Fay
Templeton initiating me-" The opera
has to do with the plottings, love ma
chinations and court intrigues of a
legendary kingdom, in which the
Crown Prince and a Captain of the
Royal Guard are rivals for the Count
ess' hand. Without going farther into
the story. it comes out all right at the
finish.

dainty little airs, which, no doubt, will
be whistled on the street till some
other favorite comes along with an

so with questions and talk that the old
