A Persistent Friend,

Mr.. George Weir, an English actor,
In his early days appeared one night
IN the role of Hamlet in an improvised
thsater at Stroud, in GlOucestershire,
and suffered much embarrassment
from the demonstrative attentions Of
an enthusiastic former Schoolfellow,
who sat In the front OF the tent and
kept up q running comment on the
performance. THAT be Gargy Weir"
exclaimed the admirer. II knows
GargyI / used to go to school along

the interrupter was turned out, and
all went well until the audience was
hushed to deadly silence while Ham

Then suddenly a still, small voice
came cheeringly from the back row OF
seats, ''Garge, 1 be in agatnP'-Bell-

This action came at the close Of

Special Judge SWeeny, lit is some
times necessary for a man to take
such measures into his own hands.
Assaulting with a cane does not come
under the statute covering assault
with deadly weapon. A cane may be
no more deadly than a tooth pick.
Therefore this case is simply one of
simple assault and battery. The gen.

A Dramatic Assassination.

BY far the most dramatic royal as
sassination was that of the Emperor
Paul of Russia on March "a, 1901, by
his mobiles. As usual Paul had retired
to rest booted and spurred and in his
regimentals. At the dead of night he
was awakened by an unusual noise
The hussar who guarded his chamber
door-the only faithful sentry, as it
proved, in the palace-was being killed
by nine mobiles. They burst into the
room and began to attack the emperor.
Paul hid behind chairs and tables and
begged for his life. He offered to make
each of his assaiIants a prince. He Of
fered to abdicate in vain. Then he
made a wild dash for the window, fear
fully gashing himself, but he was drag
ged back. He seized a chair and for
some time kept the nine Of them at
bay, and only after terrific struggles
was he seized and strangled with his
own sash.

Canned PAINTINGS.

Painting under glass may now be
preserved Indefinitely. Had the men Of
old known this the pictures of ApelleS
might still live in the first freshness Of
their colors, and the work of Raphael
and Michael Angelo would look today
as it looked when 1t left the painters
hands. The method Of preservation Is
simple. The canvas is placed In a
vacuum. It is preserved, like fruit. II
is sealed up from all the destructive in
fiuences of the atmosphere. Since
metal figures in the operation the can
vas might indeed be said to be canned.
There is no reason why paintings kept
in this manner in a vacuum should nos
endure indefinitely.

discovered when in the place, and

There he remained all day and a
portion of the night, never finding an
opportunity of getting out.

The Seay (Ala.) Messenger says:
The report published in the Mes
senger several days since of the birth
Of a strange looking child near the
line of Alabama and Florida, did not
impress itself upon our people as
being strictly truthful. Not that they
doubted the source from whence ii
came to Troy, but it seemed impos-
sible that such a thing could happen
in these days.
But the Messenger is in position
to verify the report and add a little
interesting facts to it.
''The child Cf it can be called a
child) was born and lived several
days. It was covered from head to
foot with hair; it had two short
horns, one over each ear, and its feet
were like the hoofs of q COW.
After living several days the child
died. It is now in DOthan, Ala, where
the remains are being embalmed for
preservation.
'The child was born in Vernon, Fla,
of black paTentage, and its mother
when she saw it asked the doctor to
kill it, but he refused.
The story has sounded pretty fishy
all along, but today the story is in
the press dispatches. and there can be
no doubt of it.

RUIN FOUND
HAS BEEN LOCATED AT BOTTOM
OF ST. ANDREWS BAY AND
MUCH INTEREST Is AROUSED
BUILDING CAN BE CLEARLY
SEEN ON CALM DAYS.

The st. Andrews Buoy has just &C
quiTed meager yet reliable 1nforma-
ton as to a remarkable and most in
teresting prehistoric ruin lying at the
bottom of St Andrews Bay, in West
Florida. at a point midway between
Dyer's Point and J. c. HOlley's resi-
dence, near St. Andrews, in about
twelve feet of water, the deposit be
ing no less than that of a large build
ing, with other evidences of a civili-
cation lying near it.
The Buoy's informant, n. AIassalina,
who lives on the peninsula opposite
st. Andrews, and against whom no
question of veracity can be raised,
states positively that he has seen 1t
dozens of times, and as far back as
when he was a mere lad, and he must
now be nearing the SiXtieth year OF
his age. and that his father, now de-
ceased, had been with him on coca
sions when both had seen 1t. The
wonder is that they had never deemed
it of sufficient Importance to mention
it sooner.
MassaIina says it has tire appear
ance of being large two-story struc>
ture. and he has counted seven WIN
doWs on the side exposed to view. lie
thinks he can find it again on a quiet:
clear day, and A. A. Calhoun is ar
ranging a search party, with Massa-
lima for guide, and in a few days they
will endeavor to again locate it, and
should they succeeded in doing SO
the Buoy will at once communicate
with the Scientific American, giving
that journal the facts, and requesting
the editor to call the attention OF the
Smithsonian Institution or any explor-
ers likely to be interested in che IN
terestiug features.
Should a search be Instituted, II Is
quite probable it would reveal some.

Shell Point, an immense deposit OF

are doubtless other evidences in the

Cont Trust to Your Eve.

Ia spite of the growth Of knowledge
old illusions about wild animals still
hold their own. To begin with, the
belief that the human eye can control
a wild creature is held by many people
and intelligent people. toO-notwith-
standing the many proofs in evidence
against it. 1t is true that any man
risks his life every time he turns his
back on wild animals. but not on ac-
count OF his eyes being turned away.
1t is because the animal is treacherOus
and knows by instinct that anything
with it's back turned toward it is de-
fenseless. Snakes are looked upon as
evil at all times, but in nearly every
case the attack is made from sheer
nervousness. No creature is more nerv.
Gus than a snake.

CLAIMED To BE
COY. GILCHR|ST
TOM HERMAN SAW MONEYS"
WHILE ON A SPREE AND
THOUGHT HIMSELF CHIEF
EXECUTIVE OF THE STATE
CAMPAIGN STUNT RECALLED.

Claiming to be Governor Albert w.
G1lchrist, chief executive of the state
drunken man, afterwards learned to
be Tom Herman, of Pierce, Fla, re-
sented arrest at the Bettelini Hotel,
on West Bay street, late last night
says the Jacksonville Metropolis.
Herman had been a guest at the
hotel last week and went into the Of
flee last night in an intoxicated cOndi-
ton. He was refused a room, but,
despite the Tefu"al Of the clerk, Kter-
nan went upstairs, and when Patrol
man Brown arrived he was on his
knees, alternating between praying,
swearing and preaching.
Resisted Arrest.
When he saw the bIuecOat Herman.
who had told the hotel clerk that he
was Governor Gilchrist, again made
this extraordinary claim, denying the
right of the patrolman to arrest the
chief executive.
mo, you won't arrest the governor,
will your" he said, rising to his feet
from a crouching position with diff
ficulty.
"Oh, yes,'' said the officer, you
must ride, whether you are governor
or president"
But Herman still demonstrated,
growing boiSterous in his determine
ton to convince the patTolman that
he was the man he claimed to be.
Even when he was taken before the
desk sergeant at police headquarters
and asked his name, Herman still
laid claim to the highest honor con-
ferred by the voters of the state.
Had Monkeys" All Right.
This morning in the municipal court
he was allowed to go on a promise to
leave the city. Kiernan's hallucina-
tion, which had passed away today,
was probably due to an association or
dlsassociatiop of ideas growing out Of
the peculiar campaign literature and
souvenirs used by the present gov
ernor during his campaign for the
nomination. Governor Gilchrist used
the three monkeys" of the old Jap
anese legend typifying the three say
ings, See no evil; hear no evil; speak
no evil"
Herman had the monkeys" all
right, but of another species. yet he
was almost in q condition which
would preclude the seeing or hearing
of evil, although he was still able to
speak evil.

impressions and lasting delights of
visitors in the city.
The place when completed will have
a truly tropical look, and will be a
most wonderful advertisement for the
city, whether viewed at close range,
or reproduced by the aid OF the
camera and sent broadcast throughout
the country.

been imminent for some time, and the
people as a whole are united in the
opinion that it IS a good thing for
Pensacola.

CAMP WALTON.


Camp Walton, Aug. A party q
eleven came in from Freeport on
launch on Saturday evening TO spend
Sunday at the Brooks House and have
a good time bathing on the island
beach. Among them were Miss Pearl
Turvin, Miss Ruth Croft, Mrs. Hur-
bert Croft, Mr.. Kenneth McCaskill
Maxwell McCaskill, Mr. Earnest
Adams, lambert Crawford, Ernie
Garner and John Burnette. They all
seemed to have a very enjoyable time
while here and said the ride by moon
light while coming was very pleasant
Mr.. J. c. Blackburn, the genial
proprietor of the automobile line be-
tween DeFuniak and Freeport, is tax
ing a couple of weeks outing here,
and is an expert fisherman. One
evening last week, happening to look
out into the sound from our front
window at daylight, we saw Mr..
Blackburn in a boat not twenty feet
from our shore line throwing a cast
net and at every throw he was taking
in a goodly number of mullet and sill
yer colored fish. The next morning
about three o'clock he was spearing
sea trout and red fish in the same
place, by torchlight and seemed to be
having good success. He secured
quarters for himself and family in
one corner of our pavilion. which
stands out over the water. We sug-
gested to him that he might, during
his wakeful hours, throw out his hooE
and lire without rising from his
couch, and pull in, between nap.
enough fish for breakfast, without
having TO row boat a quarter of q
mile to spear them.
Among the guests at the Hotel
Frances are DR.. Ray and his brother
from North Carolina and another
brother who is here with his family
from his turpentine camp at Green
Pond.
Rev. c. w. Woodruff gave q good
sermon yesterday 70 a small audience
in the Masonic nall. The fact Is that
people coming here are so taken up
with fishing, boating and bathing that
they neglect preparing for that time
when an accoun. ust be given for
all the big fish stories told while here
in life. Rev. Myron Reid said in
sermon that but one honest fisherman
ever lived. It was Simon Peter, who
said 1--WE cast our nets all night and
caught nothing" Had Simon Peters
nets been cast ia Santa Rosa sound
he could probably have told very
different story with equal honesty.

The name Threadneedle as applied
to the London street on which stands
the Bank of England is a corruption OF
Thryddanen, meaning third street from

from London bridge to Bishopsgate.
Another etymology is Thrig-needle
CThree Needle street,, from the three
needles which the Needlemakers' COM
pany bore in its arms. 1t begins at
