SEAGOING SANITARIUM.
Ship For Invaids Undertaken by
Builders of Mauritania.

According to the Neue Freie Presse
of Vienna, company is being formed
to provide floating sanitarium for in
valids likely to derive benefit from
sea voyage, but whose requirements
are not at all or only imperfectly met
by voyage on ordinary vessels. An
English firm, builders of the Maure-
tania, have undertaken to build for
$5OO000 vessel specially designed for
invalids and devoted entirely to their
needs.
Whereas ordinary vessels are obliged
to follow a pre-established course and
to take storm and sunshine as they
may come, the floating sanitarium
would go in search Of good weather,
seek shelter from bad weather and
consult solely the welfare of its in
valid passengers. The ship is to be
designed to contain a swimming bath.
hydrotherapeutic Institutes and hall
for gymnastics and other exercises.
All cabins are to be constructed so as
to afford their occupants a maximum
Of direct light and air. The Adr1atic
and in particular the Austrian Ri
viera and the Dalmatian coasts are
contemplated as the usual cruising
ground of the new vessel.

ing Crowds by Her Exploit.
Crowds of every class now line the
shore in front of the Octagon hotel at
Sea Bright, N. j., where few days
ago only the wealthy cared to loll.
From faroff Long Branch and Asbury
Park on the south and from Atlantic
Highlands on the north hundreds daily
visit Sea Bright to see the unusual
spectacle Of Miss Caroline Kayton of
Brooklyn go in bathing with her sad
die horse, coal black mare.
Miss Kayton wears a plain black
bathing suit, the horse nothing but q
bride. Bareback she rides into the
surf, while hundreds of spectators APP
plaud her daring and dangerous feat.
Occasionally she is compelled to dig
her heels into the animals sides, for
the mare is still little afraid of the
booming of the waves.
Once through the surf, both rider
and horse seemingly enjoy their swim
Out they go sometimes a half mile
from shore, the mare keeping her nos
trils Just out of the water and Miss
Kayton bending low SO as to put as
little weight as possible on the equine
swimmer Being an expert horseWo'
man, she has little trouble in keeping
her seat
When coming out of the surf, which
is often high, the horse is often swept
backward by a receding wave. An an
cry snort gives vent to the mares dis
approval On reaching the beach Miss
Kayton dismounts, and groom takes
the horse to the stable. The daring
young woman then trips to the bath
ing pavilion amid the applause of the
assembled crowd.

A CALL FOR CAMPAIGN SUBSCRIPTIONS.

In a brief statement, in which he outlines
the cardinal principles upon which the demo
cratic party in the current presidential cleo
tion, MI. Bryan appeals for popular contribu-
lions to dcfray the expenses inevitable to
campaign Of this magnitude
At no time in the history of the country
should an appeal of this nature meet with
more instant or generous response.
Revelations of the last twelve years have
disclosed the disastrous influence welded over
presidential elections by special interests,
through the medium of tremendous campaign
contributions.
1t is only by popular contributions, each cit
izcn assuming his share of the expense accord
ing to his respective ability, that such specta
ces will be abolished.
1t is Mr.. Bryans conception that every
American, however humble his status, is
vitality interested in good citizenship and the
progress that is to be expected with the tri-
umph of the democratic party 1t is, at the
same time, his ambition to finance the cam
paign in such manner as will enable men of
the smallest means to contribute their share
toward the attainment of this result.
The Constitution will receive and acknowl-
edge contributions to the democratic campaign
fund in any amount from one dollar upward,
forwarding same promptly to treasurer of the
campaign committee.
Thousands of good democrats in Georgia
should esteem it privilege to contribute their
their portion to the success of the party.-At-
lanta Constitution.

The Frozen Grail.


Why sing the legends Of the Holy Grail,

And make Fame's Waterman tremble at
his post.

hunger, :,
The threatening spear Of ice mailed soil

Silence and space and ghostly footed fear
Prevail not? Dante in his frozen hell.
Shivering. endured no bleakness like the
void
These men have warmed with their own
flaming will
And peopled with their dreams. The Wlnd
from fierce
Arcturus in their faces, at their backs
The whip of the worlds doubt and IN
their souls
Courage to def death shall be the price
OF that cold cup that shall assuage their
thirst,
They climb and fall and stagger toward
tho goal
They lay themselves the road whereby
they travel
And sue God for franchise. Does no
watch
Behind the lattice Of the boreal lights?
In that grail chapel of their stern vowed
quest,
Ninety Of Gods long PAGES toward tho

Will they behold the splendor of his face?
To conquer the world must man renounce
the world?
These have renowned it. Had ye only
faith
Ye might move mountains, said the Naz-
arene
Why these have faith to move the zones
Of man
Out to the point where all and nothing
meet.
They catch the bit OF Death Oe1"ee"

In one wild dash to trample the unknown
And lean the gates of knowledge. They
have dared
Even to defy the sentinel that guards
The doors of the forbidden-dared to hurl
Their breathing bodies after the ideal

Whose icy hand no human ever grasped.

Born to endure the glory of her eyes.

Funeral For Part of Finger.
A funeral much out of the ordinary
was held in Littleton, Colo. few
days ago, when a full sized and quite
expensive coffin was used in which to
bury half of a mans finger and piece
of his scalp not larger than dollar.
A hearse was used, and there were
pallbearers. The section of finger and
piece of scalp were all that could be
found of Luther Hickman, son of Mr..
and Mrs. William Hickman, who was
blown up at the recent explosion IN

MARKET SECURITIES
CASE GOES OVER
Judge Van Fleet Continues Ap-
plicatiOn for Receiver
Until Monday

The motion for the appointment of a
receiver by Henry ]. Kennedy of Chi
eago against the Market street securi-
ties company came up yesterday in the
United States district court before
Judge Van Fleet and was ordered con-
tinued until next Monday. Affidavits
were filed in the interests of the COM
plainant to support some of the con-
tentions OF the bill yesterday by j. III.
Bartlett, Attorney Percy L. Shuman
and Chalmer Munday.
Bartlett, who said he was the agent
of Kennedy, made an affidavit in which
he asserted that the Market street Sc
curities company had refused to give
him bank books in return for the Sc
curities company's bonds purchased by
Kennedy. Bartlett stated in his affda-
Wit that F. NJ. Meigs. president of the
company, and Arthur Crane, the secre-
taFy, had refused to exchange bank
books for bonds.
Attorney Shuman stated in his affida-
Wit that the securities company did not
pay any more or give anything of value
it by the Market street bank and that
this was in direct violation of the civil
code of the state of California Shu-
man stated that the 100000 shares of
stock and the $225, 900 in bonds of the
Sierra Nevada water and power COM
pany, which were purported to be
worth $1.225 900. were, in truth, abso-
lutely valueless and the transfer was
a colorado" one.
Chalmer Munday, an assistant to the
receiver of the Market street bank. as
serted that the officers of the securities
company refused to pay him the semi
annual interest of 81 bonds of the
Sierra Nevada water and power COM
pany. He further stated in his affida-
Wit that he had visited Judge Kinley in
the Metropolis building, who told him
that the company had been reorganized
and that as yet no officers had been
elected and consequently there was no
one who could pay the interest.

PIERCE ARROW NEW GEAR

w. F. Cubberson. head of the Mobile carriage
company. which handles the Pierce Arrow cars.
stated yesterday that much greater significance
than appears at first glance is contained in the
change of transmission ON all the new model
Pierce Arrow cars. Heretofore cars of this
make have been equipped with a three speed
progressive transmission. The gear shifting lever
will be at the side and will work in an ii double
slot Several reasons have been responsible for
the retention of the former type OF transmission
and gear shifting lever after the selectiye type
had been proven a success. Among the more
potent of these was the fact that it has been
the belief of the George ~ Pierce company that
the progressive system with the lever under the
steering wheel is the simplest and most con-
yenient style for the man not thoroughly up IN
motoring. In other words, the Pierce company
