LEFT PAIR TO DROWN
.ON DRIFTING VESSEL
SHAMoKIN, PA. MAN AND HIS
DAUGHTER, BOUND FOR YUCCA.
TAN, DESERTED BY CREW

SHAMOKIN, Pa, March 7.-Investl-
cation Is being made of the death Of
w. d. Wood and his daughter, Bertha,
who were drowned off the coast of Yu-
catan on February 20. e. A. Wood, a
jeweler of this place, was a brother OF
the dead man, and Miss Wood was en-
gagged to be married to Conrad era
Der, son of a banker here.
Mr.. Wood was about to begin a tour
of Mexico as The Real Devil" He
had been associated years ago with
Kellar, the magician, in his various
tours, and had obtained the rights to
the use Of many of Kellar's tricks, to
which he added others. In these speci-
altles, and accompanied by vaudeville
performers, he had been seen in all the
principal cities of South America and
Europe, and at times had made large
profits.
In the last Winter he had been
through Colombia, Venezuela, the Gu
ianas and in the West Indian islands.
A fever, however, kept him idle for
many weeks, and he had been COM
PEELED to dlsband his company.
On his recovery, Mr.. Wood and his
daughter started out from Frontera to
meet his partner in Prowreso, Yucca
tan. No steamer could be had, so they
took a tugboat which was towing a
schooner along the coast. On the night
of February 20 the tugboat began to
leak badly, and was cut loose from the
schooner. 1t foundered about mid
night, and the captain and some men
came ashore in the boats and reported
that the two passengers and three
members of the crew had been drown
ed. Afterward 1t was learned that none
of the crew persisted.
Il. A. Williams, the American Con.
sui at Progreso, made an investigation
of the matter. II was deemed peculiar
that the passengers should have beer
left to perish. Nothing satisfactory
about them, however, was obtained
from the survivors.
When he started on his voyage Mr.
Wood had with him about $4,000 II
cash, none of which has been found
Reports had reached him Of the finan
cial furry in the United States, and hi
had drawn out all the money he haC
in the banks in New York and else
where and taken 1t with him.
Search for the bodies has been un
awaiting, and the captain and crew o
the tug boat say they believe that the!
were eaten by sharks, which are nu
merous In that vicinity.

A New Arithmetic.

Alabarnians, educators-especially will ha nleased to learn of the appearance of A new arithmetic. because one of the makers of it is pr. J. K. Powers for SD many years identified with the school and University interests of this State. It is 400 pages deep. and it is complete. and 1t has the answers to the problems. and 1t can take stu dent from the primary grade to the high school under a competent teach CT. A student can take the book and learn the work. It is superior to any arithmetic since the days of the old Davies, which was inspired. and so is this. The Birmingham Ledger. which seems to have made close study of it. says this book makes it possible for a child to learn Arithmetic. It Is as easy a grade as can be found on the road to learning. The Ledger feels like commenting this book. after dealing for years with the objection able works.
 It is prepared by Dr. J. K. Powers, John M Claw and Frank W. Duke, and is published by the B. F. Johnson Publishing Company. Richmond. Va. This is a good and practical arithme- tic.

Negroes Dig Their Way Out of Steel
 Cells at Decatur.
 Decatur. Jan. 5.-tSpecial) )--Jim Parrish. colored, convicted of the nur- der of another negro. and Lee Kimbie. colored. charged with carrying a pis- tol, escaped from the county Jail last night by digging through the floor in their cells. The cage in which they were confined was supposed to be of solid steel and was used for murderers, because 1t was regarded as absolutely safe.
 A small portion of the floor under a water hydrant was nothing but ce- ment and this was softened with wa ter, and kicked through with their heels. Bloodhounds followed the ne-. groes to the railroad bridge across the Tennessee River. where they were seen to take a train. They are still at large.
 At the November term of the Cir cult Court, Jim Parrish was sentenced to hang on December 27, but he took an appeal and the case is now in the Supreme Court. Lee Kimble escaped. from the jail several weeks ago, but was arrested again later. The jail is poorly constructed and for this req son . number of prisoners have escap- ed from it during the past few years.

before Miss Phelps locked the door and hastily took up her fathers pisto1.which she had saeretly obtained and hidden away.
 Then she stood in the middle of, the room, placed the weapon to her left temple and pulled the trigger. She fell towards the door, as the scattered was instantaneous- The precipitate yet deliberate manner in which she committed the deed shows that she must have contemplated it for some hours and planned it's details.
 The noise of the discharge of the weapon brought the startled household to the young woman's door. which had to be broken in. The horror of the sight appalled, and stunned them. but in last faint hope one of the family summoned a physician. The first ex- animation of the family, however, proved that she had died even with the echo of the shot that called her stricken kinsman to her side. The bullet. entering the left temple, nad piercing the skull on the other side, had lodged just under the skin-
 Almost the entire floor of the apart ment was bespattered with blood. which the shock of the discharge of the pistol and the force of her fall caused to be emitted very freely. Sne is supposed to have walked directly from the place in which she had se- creted the weapon to the middle Of the room, and while 1t Is possible she may have taken her seat in chair 1t IS more probable that she was standing when she fired the revolver.
 A peculiar pathetic feature Of the tragedy Is the fact that Miss Pheips's sister, Mrs James Cunningham, for merly Miss Ruby Phelps. Is now on her bridal tour, having been married but a few days ago. and had to De summoned by telegraph to the funerai of the young woman. Her brother. J. I. Phelps, intended to depart yester- day afternoon to Auburn, where he IS a student in~ the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, but only q few hours before the time he was to go the fearfuh death occurred
 Miss Phelps was IS years old. She was member of the Clayton Street Methodist Church. She is survived by her parents. Mir. and Mrs. J. D. Phelps: her sisters, Mrs. James Cunningham, or Meridian. Mss; and. Mss Meta Phelps, and her brother. J.;T Phelps.
 The arrangements of the funefai have not been completed but 1t is ex- pected the interment will be at Pine Level.

THE NEW MILK LAW
cows FROM WHICH MILK IS SOLD
 TO BE INSPECTED.
Dr. s. H. Saul Says New 0rdinnnce is . Health Measure and Not .
 Revenue Measure.

Montgomery Is a pioneer in rigid dairy and milk inspection like she has been in e good many other reforms. The people of the city do not know how valuable the new milk inspection law Is with the City Veterinarian enforc- ing. it." said Alderman s. H. Saul, yes terday speaking of the ordinance re- gently adopted by the Council and of which he was the author. To the of- ice of City Veterinarian Dr. W. B. Fleming was recently appointed by Mayor w. Nj. Teague.
 The law should be regarded as a health measure and not as an effort to raise revenue for the city" contin- sued pr. Saul. Tt is a we'll considered move to assist in the general fight against tuberculosis. It has been es- tablished that one person out of seven dies of tuberculosis. Half the children born in the world die before they are 10 years of age. A great many of the deaths of children are caused by an im- pure milk supply.
 'Tn Montgomery last year ninety two persons died of tuberculosis. Ten of these were children. The spirit be- hind the new ordinance is the wish to reduce chances for tuberculosis and to lower the death rate among children.
 The inspection of public dairies to prevent the spread of disease is a 8ShSA0t PAaCtiCo LHEVuHfout LH6 COun~ try. But Montgomery in its new law carries the reform even further. The law provides that the City Veterinarian must inspect every COW from which milk Is offered for sale. This means that the man who sells milk to his neighbors must have his COW inspected. It Is further provided that any private citizen who owns a COW can have her inspected to assure the safety of his own family on the payment of a 50- cent inspection fee.
 Perhaps no other city of the South has so rigid an inspection law. But Montgomery's inspection ordinances have previously served as a model for other cities and her lead in this will follow. The wisdom of the new law as public health measure has been en- dorsed by the physicians of Montgom- cry. Our only purpose Is to let the people clearly understand the provis- ions of this new ordinance which we believe means so much to the people of Montgomery"

WORLD WIDE WORK
.. ". WOOD SPEAKS OF EPISCOPAL
 MISSIONARY WORK.
He Delivered I've Fine Addresses Yes- ferday at St. Johns Episcopal
 Church an the Great Movement.

J. W Wood, corresponding secretary of the Board of Missions of the Pro- testant Episcopal Church of the United States. made two excellent addresses yesterday morning and night at St. Johns Episcopal Church. Mir. Wood has an important and arduous position which he fills with great satisfaction and beneft to the cause tn which he is engaged.
 He is going to several points in the South. fiis objective being Houston. Texas, where he will attend great meeting arranged for Bishop Brent, of the Philippine Islands.
 The fact that nearly s1,000.00o was given at the Richmond, Va. convention through the woman's Auxiliary, and the Mems Thank Offering to be used through the Boafd>of which, Mir. Wood is corresponding secretary. gives some idea of the magnitude of the work which is being undertaken. In addition to this amount, large sums are con- tributed by each diocese and district of the church, and in his talk to the congregations which listened to him yesterday, Mir. Wood said that he knew that they would like to know some thing of what became of the money so contributed to this great cause.
 In q graphic talk he then explained the needs from many points in the home field and in this field. he said. was included every point over which the American flag was symbol of authority. This field, therefore. tnclud- ed the work being done in Puerto Rico. the Philippine Islands and the snow covered Alaska. In addition to this field there was the foreign fields including such countries as China and other far distant points.
 He said that the three great points in mission work were preaching, teaching and healing. He then spoke of the fact that at most points where missionaries were established, schools were also opened to teach the children things of which they did not know of the Bible and of Christ. Hospitals were also established at these points. where skilled physicians could treat the dis eases of the body, and improve the race physically.
 At night his remarks were devoted to the wonderful work that has been done among the Indians under the leader ship of Bishop Hare.
 Mfr. Woods remarks were interest ing from the start, and his hearers were captivated at both meetings. No one who heard the addresses at either of the meetings could Dc otherwise than gladdened with the thought that at some time. he or she had giv- en to the cause of missions.
 Mir. Wood, perhaps, Is as well known Iayman as there is in the United States. He Is devoted to his work and is a great power for good. He leaves this city for New Orleans and from thence to Houston. Texas.

 'Carramba" swore the young span- iard, "th.s passes belief. What say you, gentlemen?"
 And, drawing his long. tapering sword. he barred the way threatening 1y to the stranger.
 The silence. thus broken. seemed 10 restore at once to the other three gall lants, the full measure Of their wrath. One and all following Don Miguef's example, had nut fheir hands to their sword -hifts.
 "Aye. unmask, stranger" said Lord Everingham peremptorily.

 One could divine the pleasant. from ical smile lurking behind the thick curtain of the mask. The Gpanlard's blood was boiling with vexati0n. Harry Piantagenet gave an impatient whine.
 Your name, stranger, first" cofn- manded Don Miguel haughtfly. "then your sword if you are not coward :. after that and these gentlemen will deal with your impotence if you have any left" es There was a moments silence; tho stranger whistled to his dog,
 My sword is at your command" he said; "rny impudence you shall deal with as you list My name is Wessex!" he added with a sudden haul teur which seemed to tower above Don Miguel as the gigantic oak of the glen towers above the bustiing willow be- meath.
