Mr.. Corners was not slow in giving

an unjust decision on the part of the
committee and he appeared before
them and stated his grievances. Mr..

several things he would do.

Antiquity Of coekroaehe..

Some of the finest fossil insects
known to biologists are those pre-
served in amber. Originally a gum
exuding from a species of pine tree,
the amber first captured the insect
and then buried it, thus preserving
every detail of its structure. The
exhibition of a fine collection of
cockroaches thus preserved at a
meeting of the chronological so
ciety shows the respectable antiqui-
ty of this unpleasant insect, for the
amber deposits of eastern Prussia,
whence they were obtained, are of
middle tertiary age. The cock
roach, as a matter of fact, however,
can claim much greater age, for a
species of Blatta is recorded from
the Purbeck beds. A related genus,
Palseoblattina, rates as far back as
the Silurian.-London Globe.

Holding an Empty Bag.

Two concerns consolidate under a
holding company, the third comes
in, and another company is formed
to hold the original holding COM
pany and the newcomer, making
three operating concerns and two
holders. Thus things 60 on until
the operating companies equal X
and the holding companies equal Y
- l. When this brood of corpo-
rate children gets into financial
trouble the reversal of the proc
ess begins. There is appointed a re-
ceiver or two for each operating
company and each holding company,
whose administration finally leaves
the holders of the securities holding
an empty bag.-Wall Street Jour
nal.

HaIcyon Hail Partially Burnt

! Fire was discovered in the rear
partof Halcyon Hall, in Miami, about
4 o'clock Tuesday morning, and be-
fore the firemen succeeded in getting
the flames under control the interior
Of the helps quarters from the sec
ond floor up had been practically
Quilted.
When the firemen arrived on the
scene it was difficult to locate the
fire as there was only a light smoke
emanating from the building. Final
ly the fire wagons were driven
around to the rear of the house, but
this was somewhat difficult as Elev-
enth street is badly torn up and in
the dark the heavy machines could
hardly be brought around.
/ A heavy smoke poured forth from
the building during the fire and made
it difficult for the men to work but
they stuck to their task until all dam
ger of the main building had beenre-
moved. The flames were spreading
to the main building and only the
timely arrival of the steam engine
saved the main part of the hotel.
How the fire originated is a mys-
terry but when the firemen arrived
they found flames in the boiler room
of the hotel while the greatest blaze
seemed to be in a room on the second
floor. At this time, says the Miami,
News Record, it would be difficult to
estimate the damage done to the
house, but it will amount to several
thousand dollars as everything in that
part Of the hotel was ruined.

CLOSE OF THE
BOAT RACES
Every One of the Motor Boats
Captured a Prize

Captured q PrlZe
Last Friday concluded the motor
boat races at Palm Beach with two
events, one of which was the endur-
ance contest, open to all boats, over
80 miles course and required max
ing twenty laps.
There were two prizes in this race.
The first. the Beach club trophy,
was captured by the Buffalo Courier,
w. ]. Corners, owner. The second
prize, the Reed & Barton cup, was
won by the Messenger. G. E. An
drews, owner.
In the closing event of the regatta,
the consolation race, open to all boats
over twelve miles speed, the Drohah
Company cup, first prize, was cap
tured by Flying Fish, Lieut.. H. Will
loughby, owner, the race being Al
miles. The second prize, the CIysmic
cup, was won by Bruiser, George
Gingras, owner.
In the endurance race the boats en-
tered and the order and time, in cross
ing the starting line were:
Messenger 10000.
\. Nebo, 9:43.
Flying Fish, 9:57.
Postum, I0:07:20. q.
Dennison III, 10:19:2O.
Kitty Sparks, 11:01:20.
Bruiser, 10000.
Trente Sept, 12:l6:20.
Buffalo Courier, 1857.
In this race of twenty laps over 80
nautical miles Tor 10S.635 statute
miles, the winner was the boat whose
average time for all laps varied the
least for the best recorded lap. No
boat was allowed to run more than
one per cent faster than its best re-
corded lap without correction.
The Buffalo Courier was the winner
with the Messenger second.
In this race the Kitty Sparks ii,
Charles Furthman, New York, own
er, was making a splendid record for
herself and from all appearances had
the best of chances to win the prize.
Of Holmes boat yards she had trou-
bic with her engine and then met
with the serious trouble of breaking
the connecting rod and she had to be
lowed to the Royal Poinciana basin.
p In the summary of the races it
may be said that while there were
fourteen entries of these, eleven
boats took part and in the consola-
ton races, the last race of regatta
week, in which all boats not winning
a prize during the preceding events
could enter, there were only two
boats, the Flying Fish and the Bruis-
er, left to compete and as there were
two prizes for this final event every
one of the boats that participated
last week captured prize.
The Trente Sept, owned by George
Gingras, of Rockledge, a Florida
built boat, ran away with the bulk of
the prizes. The Trente Sept received
four prizes.
The Buffalo Courier was next with
two prizes. The Palm Beach cup, for
which many, including William j.
Corners himself, believed that the
Buffalo Courier had a leg, remains
here, as the regatta committee an
nounced that the Buffalo Courier
yvas dianualified.

store was locked from the outside.
Flanagan had run away, and when
caught had told cock-andbull story
of vacation, a luxury never heard of
of Fatty" Swartz, or even with
Swartz himself, who had been for 13
years In that store every day of his
life except Sundays, and all day. The
notion that he should suddenly propose
such thing to Flanagan at IL o'clock

was preposterous-just the kind of a

Vanishing Point of the American

In 1870 the per cent of all mar
riages terminated by divorce was 3.5;
in 1880, AS per cent; in 1886, 6.2 per
cent, while now 1t seems probable
that approximately 10 per cent of all
marriages in the United States are
terminated by divorce. Professor
Wilcox, of Cornell, has calculated
that, should the present rate of in

MADE ROUGH HOUSE
John Follen Goes to a House
on Dayton Street and Goes
Through Like a Cyclone
WINDOWS AND FURNITURE FALL

The police had riot call to the
home of Mrs. John Ruff, GIT Dayton
street just after midnight Monday
night and as result of the trip John
Follen a son of Mrs. Ruff, who is well
known about town, was arrested on a
charge of creating disturbance.
There is no term in the law that ex-
actly expresses the kind of disturbance
that Follen caused but in the common
parlance of the street it is known as
a trough house."
Follen had been drinking and he
went to the house and demanded ad-
nittance and when this was refused he
started to work and when he completed
the work it left the house in condi-
ton which indicated that an amateur
cyclone had passed over it. Eight
windows were broken and the furni-
ture and fixtures smashed in the vari-
GUS rooms. Bleeding from a half
dozen wounds caused by breaking the
glass in the windows with his fists Fol
len was taken into custody by Chief
o Hare and Officers McCloskey and
Zievers. He was taken to the county
Jail and DR.. T. B. Lansdowne called
to dress his wounds. The other mem>
bers of the house had fed from the
house in fear of their lives and had
been cared for at the homes of neigh
bors until after the police had arrested
Follen.
In the municipal court this morning
Follen was very meak and he pleaded
guilty" to the charges preferred
against him and was fined SIS and the
costs of the action and in default of
payment he was sent to the county Jail
for term of sixty days.
