Post Mortem.

Upper Sanduslky, o., March g.

time.
"What apparently added most to
the CONSERVATION of Mrs. Eddy's
cabinet Is the fact that the aged
woman herself was made plaintiff in
the suit, brought by others as her
next friends"
Every action of the plaintiffs to-
day shows 1t is their purpose to
steer clear of any attack on Mrs.
Eddy on Christian Science. On the
contrary, the aged head of the cult
Is placed on high plane and the
entire course of events is 50 shaped
as to make it clear the attack which
promises to develop into one of the
most sensational pieces Of litigation
In the history Of the country.
The action is not aimed at Mrs.
Eddy, but at the men surrounding,
her, who have, according to the
plaintiffs allegations, taken advant-
age OF her age and infirmities to se-
cure control OF the vast wealth she
Is known to possess.

Only Dcub.e Bsrre,ed Cannon in the
World at Athens, Ga.

Atlanta, Ga-The only double bar
relied cannon in the world is one of
the historic curiosities of Athens, Ga.
There is a history of unique interest
that goes along with this old cannon.
Besides being the only double bar
relied shooting iron of this kind ever
invented. it was conceived with a
peculiar idea by the inventor, John
Gilleland. a member Of the Mitchell
ThunderbOlts, a local military COM
pany at Athens during the war. The
Mitchell ThunderbOlts was a company
composed of men too old for active
service in the field, and was organized
purely for home defense.
Mr.. Gilleland. the inventor. believed
that with cannon of the double bar

Yankees by the hundreds. He had his
cannon cast at the Athens foundry,

GAVE ROAD TO AFRICA
JAMES STEVENSON, SCOTCHMAN,
DONATED $4,000 FOR WORK.
Route Lies Between North End of
Lake Nyassa and South End of
Lake Tanganyika, Distance
of 211 Miles.

London. - James Stevenson,
wealthy Scotchman, gave $4,000 to
build a road between the north end
of Lake Nyassa and the south end of
Lake Tanganyika in Central Africa
about 20 years ago. He was con-
vinced that nothing would help more
to develop Africa than good highways.
1t took two years to build the road,
and it was well built. Its length is
211 miles. Apart from the great use
fulness of the road the white men
there have always said that it has
been a powerful eivilizing agency
1t has helped to accustom the ma
tives of that densely populated region
to work for the white, and to use
calico and other European articles.
The work of construction was the
first instance on a large scale of the
utilization of native labor in Central
Africa. Many trained labOrers now
live along the road and engage in
transport service between the two
great lakes.
This highway is known as the Stew
ensOn road. MI ChrapkOvski, an Off
cial in the German service, who re-
Gently Travelled over the road, has
written an interesting account of it.
He says that though nothing has
been done to maintain the road built
25 years ago. it is still, with the sim
gle exception of the road between Vic
tOria Nyanza and Tanganyika, the best
highway in Central Africa. AS moth
ing has been done to maintain the
road, 1t is now covered with grass,
but travellers say this is really an ad-
vantage, as the vegetation has helped
to keep the road from washing, and it
is als) better for the feet of the car
riers, who dislike to walk on those
stretches where there is no grass, for
it is as hard as stone and hurts their
feet.
The usefulness of the road is proved
by the fact that pOrters carrying 60
! pounds on their backs make an aver
age of 90 miles a day, While the usual
journey is only ten miles. The road
| passes entirely through British terri
tory, and the government has erected
a station every 20 miles where cara
vans may spend the night.
There is provision at each station
to put all the freight under cover, com
Portable brick and concrete houses af-
ford excellent conditions for a good
nights rest, and there are cookhOuses
where the meals of the caravan are
prepared One of the neighboring
chiefs is held responsible for the clean
illness and good order of each station.
He receives a monthly salary of a few
| shillings from the government, and
a few yards of calico from each cara
van passing over the route.

Young James received some nOtori-
ETY. himself in the bandit line a few
years ago. when he was arrested,
charged with holding mp a passenger
train a few miles from Kansas City,
where members of the lanes gang
used to operate in early days The
evidence against James, although
strong enough to warrant his arrest,
was not sufficient to secure a conyic-
ton
After a trial lasting several weeks
James was acquitted Gov Critten
den, to whom Frank James laid down
his arms when the last remnants OF
the old James gang went out of exist
ence, has taken q personal interest in
young Jesse for many years, and at
the time Of his trial came to his sup
port. 1t was mainly through the eff,
forts of Gov Crittenden that James
was exOnerated of the charges of
train robbery brought against him
Shortly after the trial James took up
the study Of law at the suggestion Of
the governor, and it is largely due to
the assistance of the executive that
the son of the famous bandit is today
a member Of the bar.
