Of Good Times Marks Clos.
ing Days Of Los An.
geles Visit
Sdn0rmen Take Auto Ride
and Wind Up Boxing
Tournament

Los Angeles, CAL, April 22.-The
fleets visit at Los Angeles is drawing
to close with a perfect whirl of en-
tertainment.
The ships were open to visitors all
day. Never before in the history of
Los Angeles has rail communication
with the beaches been put to such
test in carrying crowds as this week.
An automobile tour today of ESQ Of
ficers and fifty prominent citizens of
Los Angeles covered large part of
Los Angeles county and traversed
most of the cities and towns.
The ships are due at Santa Bar
bara at p. M, Saturday to remain
until April %.
The finals in the boxing tourna-
ment, deciding the remaining cham
pionships Of the fleet, were witness
ed today by a crowd estimated at
1000 and enthusiasm was unbound
ed. Many of the sailors from the
different warships waged all the
money they possessed upon the box
ers who commended. The results were
as follows:
Featherweight class: Frank Raj

Diplomats Fear That China
viii Try a Coup in
Manchuria
Visit Of American Fleet Leads
Chinks to Believe U. S.
With Her

Picking, April 23.-The American
official influence in Picking Is strong
~ depressed over the proposal that
the American fleet of battleships visit
at Chinese ports, because during the
past week conditions in Manchuria
have created an International situa-
ton which is regarded here as dam
gerons. Furthermore the spontan-
eous alignment Of the powers and
the attitude Of encouragement to
China discerned in this proposed
American naval demonstration have
aroused suspicion. 6
support the coming of the fleet and
Great Britain acquiesces in the pro-
position but the final position Of Rus
sia is uncertain. This is by reason of
the Russo-Japan unity on the ques-
ton of the government Of Russian
and Japanese subjects in Manchuria,
as well as Russia's self-confessed de-
pendence on recast of Russo-Japan
relations to insure peace in the Pa
cific.
There is an impression here that
Secretary Root and Baron Rosen,
Russian ambassador to the United
States, are neither of them favora-.
bly, disposed to the present plan of
the statesmen of China to effect a
coup d'etat in Manchuria, but China
is convinced that the United States
will not be able to retire from it's po-
sition in the matter Of the control
OF the municipality of Hardin and
she therefore hopes for favorable
consideration from Washington.
China is apprehensive lest the
United States should now weaken on
the realization Of the principal
clause of the Portsmouth treaty, for
this would permanently defeat the
effects and object of the Chinese
administration of Manchuria. Be
cause of this apprehension it would
take only trifle to precipitate a
crisis and it is interesting to note
that both Japan and the United
States minimized, as far as possible,
the recent occurrence at Mukden
when several japanese attacked the
native staff of the American consul
late there.

Arose to the Occasion,

A successful schoolteacher mar
ried a wealthy widower. The man
had lived alone with his servants
since the death of his first wife. On
the morning after the brides arriv-
al in her new home the cook ap-
peared for orders. Now, the little
woman was far more familiar with
the classics than with roasts and
stews, and she was not a little dis
mayed when Mary %innocently put
the question:
can how will ye have the beef
cooked, mum?"
For the merest instant she hest
tated. Not for a fortune would she
have the old servant suspect her alb
solute Ignorance Of cookery. But
her years in the schoolroom had not
been in vain. Calmly and sweetly
she answered:
"You may cook it your way to-
day, Mary, and then another time
you can try my way"
And the cook went downstairs
with a high opinion of her new
mistress,

Trouble Over a Car Of Wood.

There has been a general stir in
railroad circles in this neck of the
woods during the past few days
and all over q box car of wood.
A few days ago Engineer Curlee
had a car loaded with wood here
for his own personal use. This
was "dead headed" into Char
lotte. On its arrival there some
one investigated the matter and
learned of the manner in which it
had been hauled and as a result
Mr.. Curlee and his conductor,
Capt. Sam McNeely, of Moorss-
vile, were discharged. Later the
yardmaster, Captain Moore, at
S~tatesville, was discharged for al
lowing the car to pass through his
hands, and last night a man was
sent here to relieve Capt. P, L..
Steck, as agent at Taylorsville,
for allowing the car to leave the
yard here. If this last order is
allowed to stand our people will
be justly Acknowledgements

The Magic Of Rome.

The story CT Rome is a tale Of
murder and sudden death, varied,
changing, never repeated in the
same way. There is blood on every
threshold. A tragedy lies buried in
every church and chapel, and again
we ask in vain wherein lies the mag
ic of the city that has fed on terror
and grown old in carnage, the
charm that draws men to her, the
power that holds, the magic that
enthralls men soul and body, as
Lady Venus cast her spells upon
Tannhauser in her mountain of old.
Yet none deny it, and as centuries
roll on the poets, the men of letters,
the musicians, the artists of all
ages, have come to her from far
countries and have dwelt here
while they might, some for long
years, some for the few months they
could spare, and all of them have
left something, a verse, a line, a
sketch, a song, that breathes the
threefold mystery of love, eternity
and death. - "Studies From the
Chronicles of Rome" by Marion
Crawford.

Sugar as a DisInfsCtant,

In many parts of Europe it Is
customary among the people to
burn sugur in sick rooms, a prac-
tlce which is considered by physi-
clans as an innocent superstition,
neither beneficial nor harmful.
Prof. Trilbert of the Pasteur In.
stitute at Paris has, sshowever. dem
onstrated recently tn i burning
g gar develt ps. eo.Aic acetylene
hydrogen, one of TIA most power
full antiseptic gases known. Five
grams of sugar (77.16 grains) were
burned under a glass bell holding
ten quarts. After the vapor had
cooled bacilli of typhus, tubercu-
losis, cholera, smallpox, ETC., were
placed in the bell III open glass
tubes, ard within half al hour all
the microhs were dead.
If tie sugar is burned in 3 closed
vessel containing DutrefiAd meat
or the contents of rotten eggs the
offensive odor disappears at once
The popular faith in the. dlsinfect-
ing qualities of burnt sugar ap-
pears therefore to be we'll founded.

What He Wanted,

Perhaps some of our readers are
critical enough in the use of Ian
guage to decide whether the GUS
toner or the salesman was right in
the following dialogue:
Customer-Show me a small, low
priced shears.
Salesman (facetiously) - Perhaps
you mean a pair of shears?
Customer (severely)-I mean pre-
cisely what I said.
Salesman (defantly, opening a
specimen article)-Are there not
two blades here, and don't two make
a pair?
Customer (triumphantly) - You
have two legs. Does that make you
a pair of men?
The shears were done up in pro-
found silence.
