GENERAL STEWART DEAD.

General Alexander p. Stewart. one of
the last two surviving Lieutenant
Generals of the Confederate States
Army, died at his home at Biloxi, Miss.
Sunday, in his eighty-seventh year.
He was born at Rogersville, Haw-
kins county. Tenn, October 2, 1921.
and received his early education in that
State. Later he was appointed to the
United States Military Academy at
West Point, and graduated with honors
from that institution in June. 1912.
At the outbreak of the Civil War he
was commissioned as a brigadier-gen-
eral in the Confederate States Army.
made major-general in 1863, and re-
ceived his commission as a lieutenant.
general one year later.
The close of the war found him in
command of the army of Tennessee.

POLITICAL.

John w. Gregg, of Loudoun, Republi-
can. will oppose c. C. Carlin for Con-
gress from the Eighth District.
Democratic Chairman Mack is plan
ming an extensive invasion of the New
England States, and thinks he will
gain some electoral votes in that re-
gion.
Candidate Hisgen. Independent can
didate for President, amid red fire,
brass bands, and cheering crowds, was
kissed by 20 women cages not given) in
New York City the other day.
The news comes that John Mitchell
cordially endorses the action of Mr..
Gompers in coming out for the Demo-
cratic ticket. The belief is widespread
that the accession of Mitchell to the
Bryan forces adds immensely to the
Democratic strength.
Five newspapers of the central West
have turned in to the Democratic cam
paign fund within the last week about
$50, 900. Along this line swindlers have
also gotten in their work. 1t is sup
posed that in Mississippi So, 900 was
collected by crooks representing them
selves as collectors for the Democratic
campaign fund.
The election in Vermont, which was
looked forward to as in a measure for
4
shadowing the November election, shows
that the Democratic gain in that State
is about 10 per cent. The reports seem
to Indicate general apathy in the Re-
publican ranks. The next State cleo
ton in Maine September. 18th, will
perhaps be further index of public
opinion on National affairs.

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES.

August is the herring season in fla,
off New England.
Mackerel are shipped from England
to this country.
The eel is the dryest of all fish
nearly half meat.
An oyster is four-fifths water, the
rest of him Is pure satisfaction.
The first cargo of oysters arrived in
Washington from the Potomac Sep
TENDER LIST. They were reported
as of good quality.
When package containing some
turtle eggs. that had been sent by mail
from the South, was opened at Morris
town, Pa, it was found the eggs had
Matched and there were two little kick
ing turtles.
Herring are supposed to be a salt
water fish, coming into fresh water to
spawn, but reports come from Lake
Erie that the behring's placed in that
lake have multiplied and are caught in
large numbers.
The Fishing Gazette states that the
coming season for oysters promises to
be good one, and conditions are bet
ter than they have been generally fol-
the past 20 years. The growth of oys-
tiers this season has been greater than
ever before.
The general law as to oysters as 9
rule is that he who has right of prop.
erty in the soil or sea shore is entitled
to catch or keep bed of oysters there
Whoever steals oysters or oyster brood
from an oyster bed which is private
property is guilty of felony; and who
ever unlawfully or willfully uses 4
dredge, net or instrument within ths
limits of private oyster bed for the
purpose of taking oysters, though non.
are actually taken, is guilty of mis-
demeanor. Of course the laws diffel
in different oyster producing states, bu
the law constructs that a thief is
thief whether you find him BLOWN,
open safe in bank or preying on hi
neighbors' oyster ground at night. =

$1,000. 900 FIRE IN NEW ORLEANS.

Fire which broke out in the centre
of the commercial district in New
Orleans Sunday swept over portions of
three blocks. destroying large number
of wholesale houses, manufacturing
plants and small stores with property
loss of between 81, 900, 600 and 81, 900, 600
before they were finally subdued.
Several circumstances combined to
give the fire Roadway which proved
hard to overcome. At the time the
alarm was turned in. shortly before 8
o'clock, the New Orleans firemen were
in the midst of their annual picnic at
suburban park, and the engines and
patrols responded with mere handful
of men. 1t was fully an hour before
the department was in position to
make anything like successful fight
against the fire, and even then the
handicap against it was added to an in
adequate supply of water.

Ii ouse would succeed another in sway
over this turbulent land in days gone by.
Before reaching Edinburgh we are
whirled across the great Forth bridge,
for long time the largest in the world,
and as yet eclipsed by few. For twenty
miles down the Firth (mouth) of Forth
this massive structure rises above the
surrounding hill country and tall spires.
BY night it, as well as the banks along
the Firth. are dotted with myriads of
lights-from shipping, industries and
residences-and the sight cannot be
pictured.
We intended staying but aday in Ed
inburgh. but such intentions are often
cast to the wind in touring this country.
We saw Edinburgh in three DAYS,
and they appeared short ones-th though
the sun still ran his course of seventeen
or eighteen hours, with twenty hours of
daylight. The castle, with its Argyle
prison and dungeons, it's ancient en-
battlements, meats long dry, Queen
Mary's roomin turbulous times, and the
crowns and jewels of the Stuarts, as
well as an endless line of ancient armor
and weapons. cannot be ''done" in less
than day. st. Giles massive cathedral
and Hollywood palace required another.
while the third day passed quickly in
the two hundred acres of magnificent
gardens kept up by the crown. ''Arthur's

called the German Ocean.
We travel not by night, preferring to
see the intermediate country as we pass
through. We can roam through the
town at night. the most interesting time
over here. Starting at p. M, we had
daylight until p. m, at which hour
We reach Newcastle-on Tyne. We
have passed through the coal regions of
England (small as compared to our
Pennsylvania onsthis schedule, and
lodge for the night in Newcastle. All
have heard of carrying Goals to New
castle" We didn't carry any, but we
saw the quaint barges and tugs wrestling
with their cargoes of coal on the river
Tyne, and going out to sea with their
"black diamond" freight. Possibly
no where in England will one find a
quainter castle than "Old Castle" at
Newcastle. 1t was built some eighteen
hundred years ago, during the Roman
time. 1t is small. but complete in
ancient caparison-the dungeons, the
stone bedrooms and bedsteads. the
musty armor. the old well two feet in
diameter that goes down through an
inner stone wall of ten feet in thickness.
and reaches water at the level of the
river some two hundred feet below. The
well had its opening in the highest
keep and was used only when the
defenders may have been driven back
from the lower ramparts. 1t was in
deed a gruesome spectacle, and we could
imagine ghosts haunting its deep, dark
bottom, where the keeper said more
than one knight had been pitched by a
jealous rival or despotic ruler.
But this is England. now, and should
be saved for another chapter.

The monied interests are more
at sea during this Presidential
canvass than for many years.

suits them better than the

OF Bryan, and they recognize the

platform is in every respect a far
superior one to their opponents
This is recognized by the con-
sentative press at home and
newspapers abroad. Brushing,

The Republicans admit the nee
essity of tariff revision, and
promise to see tOit-in the dim

on this score. Either Taft or
Bryan will have the reorganizing

Accommodating Rain.

The rain of yesterday was very ac-
commodating. 1t sprinkled in the
morning some, but stopped by noon
and there was not drop of water dur
ing the afternoon performance. Just
after the balloonist had landed, it be-
gan to sprinkle and at about o'clock
there was quite heavy downpour.
but after that there was no rain and
the evening program was given. While
the crowd on the street last night was
not large, there were many down and
all of the free acts were given except
ing high wire act.
The side shows were open for bust
ness and they were literally patron

MOONLIGHT Balloon Ride.

Everything was late yesterday at
the opening, but the latest of all was
the balloon ascension and parachute
leap by Prof. Bayles who did not get
started on his trip to the sky until
after o'clock, when dusk had fallen
over the city and the moon wac beam
ing up in the sky.
He made his start from the market
grounds at Twelfth and Main streets
where large crowd awaited the act,
but on account of the darkness did
not make as high an ascension as he
otherwise would have done.
The big balloon fioated upward and
toward the north and the performer
cut loose and landed on the lawn of
a house at the corner of Thirteenth
and High streets.

In earnest and today was very sue

being big crowd on Main street this
afternoon.
This is Democrat day and the fact
that Hon. John Sharp Williams was
here and made an address at Rand
park in the morning, attracted quite
a number of people to the city. The
speaking being held in the morning
at the park, gave the visitors in the
city the opportunity of taking in the
speaking and all of the free attrac-
lions in the afternoon.
The cloudy weather and the rain OF
last evening had some effect on the
opening day but everything was car
ried out yesterday excepting the high
wire performance at light, although
nearly every afternoon act was be-
hind the scheduled time. The balloon
ascension and high dive were both
late but nevertheless, great crowds
waited to see them and were we'll re-
paid for waiting.
