DECIDED TO "CUT
OUT" Ills AFFINITY
Took Course to Save PriS-
on Sentence.

NEW YORK, October 14.-(SpeciaD
Before Magistrate Sreinert and a
crowd of spectators in the Harlem
Police Court Hugh Travis gave up an
affinity in the following affida-
w.t.:
Hugh Travis, forty-five years of
age, of No. 2572 Eighth avenue, be-
ing duly sworn says: I will not visit
Mary Smith, of No. 200 West 147th
street, for any reason whatsoever.
(Signe0 HUGH TRAVIS. .
Only after Travis had solemnly
sworn to the affidavit was he saved
from a term on BlackWells Island.
Then he was led out of court by his
wife and pretty young daughter.
Mrs. Travis had her husband ar
raigned in court on the charge of hay
ing beaten her His defense was
that she first hit him with sau-
Ger.
Yes; | hit him with saucer,
your honor" said Mrs. Travis, def
antly. 81 hit him because he was
an affinity The affinity is Mary
Smith, of 200 West 147th street. My
daughter and l have tried in every
way to win him back, but we have
failed. We were arguing about this
affinity when he resorted to vio-
Ience."
You can save yourself from pris-
on if you'll do one thing" said the
justice. You must draw up an aft
davit and swear that you will leave
this affinity alone"
Travis hesitated a long while, but
finally said he would take the oath.
Chief Clerk Kennedy drew up the pa
per. Then Travis held up his right
hand while he swore to it.
''Now, remember, Hughey,' said his
wife, as she seized his arm and es-
corted him out of the court ROOM
eff you violate that oath you'll surely
go to the island"

WILL BE TRIED
FOR KILLING NEGRO

MOULTRIE, GA, Oct. 14-(Spec-
iaD-Dow Keagin, who had his sec
ond trial last week at Dade City for
the murder of Hansell Norman, of
this county, will be brought back to
Georgia and will answer to an in
dictment of the grand jury of this
county charging him with murder,
which was found three years ago, and
for which he went to Florida to avoid
arrest. Keagin killed a negro near
Pinopolis in 1904. The matter was
kept quiet at the time and he remain
ed in the county for time. When
the grand jury found a bill against
him he went into Florida and found
employment at the still of j. B. Nor
man, Jr. Young Hansell Norman,
who was in charge of the still, knew
him in former years and received
him kindly and declined to make his
whereabouts known to the officers of
this county.
In a few months he shot and killed
his employer and protector. He was
tried and found guilty Of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to be
hanged, but on technically the Su-
preme Court granted a new trial. At
ter lying in Jail for a year he was
again trie last week and this time
got off much lighter, the verdict be-
ing manslaughter The presiding
judge rebuked the jury in open court,
stating that the evidence justified a
verdict of murder, and he gave Kea-
gin the limit of the law for man
slaughter.

FLEET MUS! BE READY
BY DECEMBER IA
Secretary Orders Clear
Field for Work.

WASHINGTON, October 14.-(Spec-
iaD Secretary Metcalf has notified
commandments of the navy yards at
Portsmouth, N. H., New York, League
Island and Norfolk that all work
which may in any way interfere with
getting the Atlantic fleet ready by
December / be suspended. Work
on the fleet is to be given clear
field
This is another decisive step tow
ward guarding against any possible
delay. The problem of getting the
fleet in readiness is twofold. All
work must be completed by Deem
Der l and the battleships must start
for the Pacific in prime condition, as
if they were steaming to meet an
enemy. Under no conditions is the
date of departure December 15) to
be changed. The ships after leaving
the navy yards must take on provig-
ions and coal, and the time between
December 1 and December Is, is so
short that in order to sail on the
latter date all repairs must be COM
pleted by December l.
Since the return of Secretary Met
calf from California he has recog-
nized that there might be some diff
Guilty in getting the fleet started, as
some of the battleships needed con-
siderable repairs before starting on
the long cruise. The Navy Depart
ment then decided to extend the
time allotted for repairs to so days,
with the stipulation that nothing be
begun which could not be finished
before December l. Commanders of
ships following orders of the Navy
Department, then began sending in
requests that repairs be authorized.

KINGS USED NO suRNAmEs.
Majority of Member. of Royal House.
Sianed Christian Names Only.
From r.. P.S "

PROM NCchlS.
The origin Of most royal houses was sim
liar throughout Europe. and kings and
their families. speaking broadly. never had
or used surnames. They signed their
Christian names alone. So universally
Vas this the case that it became rigid
ptiuuette that a person Of royal birth
should not use a surname, though there
have been numbers of cases of dynasties.
Ike our own Stuarts. like the Bernadotte
DYNASTY Of Sweden or like the Bonaparte
family, who unouestiOnabiy and indubita-
bly had inherited surnames. But it has
always been a puzzle why the cadet mem
hers OF our own royal house do not sub
scribe themselves as peers by their peer
age designations. as do other peers.
However, the fact is they do not. but 1t
has not been discovered are the rules
which govern their signatures. The SOW
ereirn signs by the Christian name and
usually adds .R." or "R. and L." Princes
and princcsses sign by their Christian
names and sometimes. but not always. add
he letter "P." When or why this is added
or omitted is not known.
But the habits of royalty lead others into
strange happenings. There was an occa-
>ion upon which Queen Victoria, after a
Function" was asked TO sign a visitors
aook. Her majesty wrote Victoria r. and
e" Princess Henry of Battenberg then
Hrote ..Eea.ricc p" The turn of the local
maycress cane aeXt and she signed "E.liz-
ohelh." The surname was hastily writ
ZEN in the following day. but too la,e &c

when he took the stand himself not a jot

WRY THEY LEAVEHUNGARY.

Several European governments are struggling with the problem of keep ing their beloved and useful subjects from leaving their dear native land
 Why some people leave Hungary is in-
 dicated in remarks made in the ad- dress which the Socialist leader, M. Garbay, delivered in the Austro-H Hun garian parliament in favor of fran chise reform in Hungary. Serious so- cial reforms were necessary, he said,
 unless the rest of the working classes were to join the S00,00O who had left the country during the last two years to seek better living elsewhere. Ac- cording to official statistics, the aver age weekly wage of an adult indus trial workman in Hungary is $270 and of a workwoman $135. An adult agricultural laborer earns on an av- |erage $1.95, and a female laborer 90 cents per week. These wages, togeth- CT with usurious rentals, oblige the workers to huddle together in over crowded rooms, to the detriment of both health and morals. The percent age of overcrowded dwellings, which in Vienna and Berlin is 2S, is in Buda- pest "A. Naturally, consumption rages. While in England 205 out of every 100000 persons die of consumption, the ratio in Hungary is S64 per 100,- 000 There Is also lack of medical assistance. Of the annual half-million
 deaths ip Hungary about a quarter of
 million occur without medical at- tendance. Of the children born, one
 third die before reaching their fifth | year. Twenty-two per cent. of the chill

REASoNABLE, BUT LATE.

At recent meeting in Shelbyville, Tennessee, a declaration was made in favor of southern Democrat for the presidential nomination, which moved the Nashville American to say: There is unquestionably a widespread senti-
 nent throughout the State, and in- deed throughout the country, to the effect that the South should emerge from its place of oblivion so far as a voice in the control of the government is concerned and assert itself, and de- mand that one of its sons shall be named as a leader of the party in next years contest. Surely there is as good material in the South as in any other portion of the country.
 There surely is, and as the South is part of free country it has perfect right to try to take such part in the government of the country as 1t wants to. But with MT. 'Watterson out for Governor Johnson and with the other obstacles, 1t is little late ia talking about putting forward favor ite son. To have any show he should have been put forward some time ago, or at least, have been united on.

4 NOBLE BEAST.

First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen! Not George Washington, but the Missouri mule. The lowest bids submitted to one of Uncle Sams quartermasters at St. Louis for ninety mules for govern ment service was from $161 to s174.5O for saddle mules and from $155 to $16950 for pack mules.
 Truly valuable animal. He has helped the United States in Cuba and the Philippines, he helped the British in South Africa, and wherever there is rough work to do in setting the world right he is on the spot, alive and kick ing. No wonder the Nfissourians point to him with pride. He is a noble beast, even if he is without pride of ances- try or hope of posterity He works with strength and patience, inter- spersed with obstinacy and revolt. He is worth all he costs, and he deserves better treatment than he gets. There is theory that he understands pro- fane language better than any other, and is more moved by it. That may be true, but as the same theory prevails in regard to men who do the rough work of the world honors seem to be even. There are, it may be pointed out in passing, mulish men,
