AN AMUSING CASE.
One in Which Speedy Apprehension OF
the Thief Followed the Crime.

Elijah McGee, an epileptic patien
at the Colored State Hospital, neal
! this city, who, as means of diver
sion, is permitted to conduct a little
store adjoining the hospital grounds
found on opening his place of bust
ness Wednesday morning that during
! the preceding night unlawful visitors
had been around and that, in conse-
quence, his none too plentiful stock
of goods had been sadly reduced.
AS was natural, Elijah was pain
fully shocked at the discovery and
was in a state of perplexity as to the
means to be adopted towards recov-
ering the stolen goods.
/. Mr.. Henry Toler, son of Deputy
Sheriff J. A. Toler, and who has
charge of the hospital farm, was ap-
pealed to. Mr.. Toler is close OBJ
server, and at once detected signs of
that led to the apprehension of the
thief. Spying a few grains of rice
near the store he searched farther,
and, aided by Elijah, found grains of
rice along the road leading to the
house of Sam Middleton, a negro
drayman.
Justice Hugh Humphrey was then
applied to for a search warrant, arm
ed with which Sheriff E. A Stevens
made a close examination of the Mid
dleton premises and found concealed
in the house three twelve-pound sacks
of -four, small can of lard and
small sack of rice, all of which Eli
jah readily identified as his property.
And in the rice sack the tell-tale hole
was found, through which the grains
of rice had dropped along the path
way taken by the thief and that led
to his detection.
Middleton was given a hearing be-
fore Justice Humphrey Wednesday at
ternoon, and, in default of a $500 JUS
titled bond, was committed to jail to-
await trial at the October term of
court.

PEARY'S ACHIEVEMENT.
The Heart of the American People
Literally Bubbles With Patriotic
Pride As They Realize That the
Flag, i'm Both Instances, Was the
Stars and Stripes.

Stars and Stripes.
In all the history of exploration AM
discovery there has been nothing 81
dramatic as the announcement by twt
1aring adventurers, within five day
If one another, that each has planted
ais country's flag at the apex of the
world.
/ And the heart of the American peo
pie literally bubbles with patriotic
| pride as they realize that the flag, in
Doth instances, was the stars and
stripes.
Over in Copenhagen DR.. Cook sal
at a sumptuous banquet, literally
wreathed in flowers, after the fashion
| IN which the Scandinavians honored
5heir heroes in the old viking days
| Being a man of practical cast and
modest demeanor, he was visibly en-
vas conforming to the rule of doing
n Rome as the Romans do, and sub
| mitted good-naturedly to the lioniZ-
ing.
1t was in the midst of this gala fes-
tival that the whisper began to run
around the banquet board that the
goal of so many mems ambitions had
been achieved the second time by
Commander Peary.
Dr. Cook, when he reached the
north pole, said to the two Esquimaux
who accompanied him that they had
found the big nail," which is the
name by which they had always called
the last parallel. Commander Peary
wired: "Stars and stripes nailed to
north pole.''
The general tendency seems to be
credit both explorers with having at
tanned the end they claim to have
reached, and in that light it is graft
flying to know, from a scientific point
of view, that the observations of one
will correct those of the other and be
of more practical service to the world.
Incidentally we have had an illus
which the Associated Press is held
and its ability to distance all compet-
itors. It was direct to the Associated
Press that Peary wired the drst flash
of his victory, anu Tits Ia esf-a nau
been communicated by Associated
Press newspapers to the outside world
more than half an hour before the
news was received by anyone in this
country from any other sources what
ever.
It's a habit which the Ass,oc5ated
anything really happens.
In the meantime, Dr. Cook has
adopted somewhat the attitude of Ad-
miral Sch1ey by saying, in substance,
that there is glory enough for all.
