that the antelope are so tame that
they won't even run from a loco

Estes went from Mombasa to
Narobi, near which Roosevelt will
find his first great hunting field.
He saw wild animals by tens of
thousands fearless of the train as
farmyard cattle. All the engines
on the Uganda railroad are built
in America. Estes was interested
in the Kavarondi, all practical
dress reformers, inasmuch as they
wear none. He journeyed around
Victoria Nyanza, the worlds sec

through the center, though navi-
gated by thousand-ton steamers.
From Uganda Estes went to Cam

Falls, head of the River Nile. He
returned to Mombasa and visited
the Zanzibar and Mozambique

ROOSEVELT LIONS:EAST
Mighty Hunter, in Chair Car, Can
Drink Tea and Pot Fauna.

Foreglimpses of Theodore Roose-
velt's experiences in the African
hunting trip for which the former
President has started, were given
yesterday by Dana Estes, of Bos-
ton, who arrived on the steamship
St. Louis, after travelling more
than $4,000 miles in eight months.
Estes is a friend of Roosevelt. The
latter part of his globe trot was
made over the trail shortly to be
taken by the mighty hunter of

streets were full of slush; the
stands laden with snow; a strong
gale blowing and the ceremonies
had to be held in the Senate cham
Der, the transfer being made to the
interior of the building for the
first time since Jackson's second
inaugural.
An interesting feature of the
record of past inaugurals is the
fact that the most of them have
been on Mondays, this being due
to the fact that March has fallen
on Sunday three times within a
century and brought about three
additions to the list of inaugural
Mondays. All told there has been
nine inaugurals on Mondays, three
on Tuesdays, four on Wednesdays,
six on Thursdays, three on Fridays
and six on Saturdays, as follows:
Mondays-W Washington, Jeffer-
son, Monroe, Jackson, Taylor,
Lincoln, Hayes, Benjamin Harri-
son and Mckinley.
Tuesdays-Monroe, Polk and
Grant.
Observation-Disclosures, Jack
son, Buchanan and Cleveland.
Thursdays-W Washington, Madi-
son, Harrison, Grant, Mckinley

CAPT. A. L. s1NGLETARY DEAD.
Was a Popular and Prominent Citizen
of Elloree.

A dispatch from Elloree says Capt.
A. L. Singletary died Saturday eve
ming at 9 o'clock at his residence
there, after an illness Of two weeks
duration Of typhoid fever. Capt.
Singletary was in the prime Of life,
being about As years old, and leaves
a wife and several children. He was
for a number of years captain OF
the local militia there, the Stantee
Rifles, and in that capacity gained
the confidence of the men with whom
he was thrown in contact and the
State militia.
He was conscientious, energetic
and persevering, and his demise has
brought sorrow to the hearts Of all
who knew him in private life.
He was a Christian gentleman and
his daily life was we'll worth emulat-
ing. AS citizen of the town he
always worked for it's pest interest
and did his duty we'll in various po-
sitions of trust fearlessly and with
out apology.
The News and Courier says Lieut..
Col. julius e. Colgswell, Of the 3rd
regiment, received a telegram Sat
urday night from Elloree, announc.
ing the death of Capt. A. L. Single
tary, who was the commander of the
Elloree company, of the 3rd regi-
ment. This will be sad news to
every officer in the regiment, as Capt.
Singletary was well known and pop
ular in the regiment and has COM
manded his company on all the en-
campents recently.
In speaking of Capt. Singietary
Col. Cogswell had only words OF
praise of this officer, and said that
he was one of the most efficient Of
ficers in the regiment and his death
is a great loss to the militia of the
State and especially to the ,3rd regi,
ment.

CHARLESTON MUSICAL FESTIVAL
Will Be a Hummer From octobel
25 to October 30.

Charleston, S. Especial: All
preparations for the Musical Festi-
val are going on with accelerated
energy and speed as the time for
this great event approaches.
In the life of every community
there appears a time when in the
very air of the approach of prosper
ity and of new development may be
felt both by the residents and by
casual visitors. 1t is the unanimous
and firm convection of every dweller
in the City by the Sea that this time
is now at hand. 1t seems that he
hopes so dearly cherished and so
earnestly pursued by hard and in
defatigable labor are about to be rea-
lized in glad fruition. This senti-
ment f.as been reflected in the zeal
and vigor that is being put into the
Festival celebration.
Charleston feels that she is invit-
ing the whole State of South Caro-
lima, of which she is the ocean gate
way, to join her at this critical turn
ing point in her career and rejoice
with her at the golden future that
is so clearly seen stretching ahead.
The musical features of the Fes-
tival are such that were the cost
of the tickets relied upon to defray
the expenses, it would not be pos
sible to place the price of tickets for
each performance at less than IS.
But it has been the desire Of the
Festival Association to give to the
visitors who may come down an en-
tertainment of the highest possible
grade at a cost that is absolutely
nominal, ard so price has been fix
ed for the concerts that is practical
ly the same as free adm1ssion-the
price of the tickets merely suffisszs::se''. -
