nervous at night. She scarcely

married man. Yes" well, you
have to expect that. My wife was
that way. Every time she heard
noise downstairs she'd rout me out
and chase me down to investigate. Al
ter a time, however, I convinced her
that if burglar ever did get into
the house he wouldn't make any noise
at ALL" Clever" exclaimed the
young one, 'In try that" Don't dc

eral and party was demanded In no
gentle terms. He was told in much
the same manner by the square-shoul-
dered seaman that the demand could
not be entertained for a moment. The
persons in question were passengers
on board, had paid a stipulated sum
to be landed in New York, and the
company whom he represented would
not sanction the breaking of a COM
pact on his part.
Threats and expostulations avail
ed nothing; the officer hesitated to
proceed to extreme lengths, gazed
about him with perplexity, twirled his
mustache, and withdrew to report
and receive further instructions.
I'm the meantime the officers Of the
American steamer were by no means
idle. The purser, with a note from
the master, hastened on shore, routing
out the American consul, to whom the
situation was explained. The chief
officer had cast off the freight light
ers, closed the cargo ports, triced up
the gangway ladders, doubled the
watch, and screwed on three lines of
hose to the boilers. Scarcely had that
energetic officer completed his ar
arrangements when the rattle and rasp-
ing of a chain was heard astern, and
the huge proportions of Spanish
ironclad, was plainly discernible.
1--WE have two little four-pounders
for signal purposes remarked the
master to his chief mate, as they
watched the man-of-war on theil
quarter, but that fellow is too many
guns for us. Ha! there is the splash
of oars: a force from the land is APP
preaching. 1t begins to look serious
for all hands. Hoist our ensign, sir
and let every man stand firm to his
station

Into port came the cruiser, with
ports down, guns run out, men al
quarters, and boarding nettings triced
up. The hail Of the Moro was answer
ed, but the speed of the ship was moi
slackened until she ranged along the
side Of the Spanish vessel, the two
crews glaring at each other along the
muzzles Of their respective batteries
while the officers saluted by raising
their caps.
The Cuban general and his friends
gentlemen, were safe, and ten minutes
later, on the quarterback Of the mai
steamer, they met and were introduced
to the commanding officer of the
American man-of-war, Commander
| William b. Gushing, one of the most
gallant spirits that ever held a nava

seek the consul, that official at once
sent a cipher dispatch to Washington

minutes later Commander Cushing was
using all the steam he could raise tc

rabble skunk nimbly out Of sight
while the Americans, with the consul
a number of officers from the cruiser
and the three CubanS, sat down to g
sumptuous repast, specially ordered by
the plucky master.
Nov, gentlemen, inasmuch as I was
the Cuban general, and I owe my life
to the courage and determination oi
my American friends, you will pardon
me for differing with the sentiment
that, as a race, you are degeneratine
or lacking the spirit of your forefath-

The punch is a Savannah invention
1t was first brewed for the Chatham
Artillery by a local saloon keeper. 1t
proved such good bit of ammunition
that it has been kept in the family,
and its formula has been cherished as

Go Up Against the Deadly Artillery
Punch.

Macon, Ga. Nov. 4.-President Taft
arrived early this morning and took
breakfast at the home of Congressman
Charles l.. Bartlett. The repast was
an old-time Georgia meal and partic-
ularly appealed to the palate of the
president, jaded by French cooking
and 'steen-course dinners. The entire
breakfast was placed on the table and
the guests helped themselves or asked
their neighbors to "please pass" what
ever food they desired.
This was the menu: Big dish of
birds, country sausage, ham and eggs,
fried chicken, hominy with red ham
gravy. hot rolls, waffies. beaten bis
cult, hoe-cake, battercakes, country
butter, fried sweet potatoes, more
friend chicken, coffee, cream milk.

rive in Savannah, where a more elab-
crate feed awaits him. Feeding

famous Chatham artillery punch,

visitors to its credit. The concoction.
which requires a week tosbrew, is now
said to be ready for the president. If
he partakes of it, he will prove his
bravery beyond all criticism.
Presidents. statesmen, governors
and naval officers have attacked artil-
lery punch and all have been worsted.
1t Is the regular John L. Sullivan of
drinks. The most distinguished victim
of Chatham artillery punch was
very high government official. He was

liked the concoction. He drank one
or two glasses, and possibly a third.
All after that was extra ballast and
the result was that he lay sick with

days. A Georgia governor died short

SHIP APPEAL DENIED.
Defendants Will be Sentenced on No
vember 10.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The unusual
proceedings Of an arraignment for
sentence at the Bar of the Supreme
Court of the United States will be
witnessed two weeks from today, in
accordance with an announcement
made today in the cases of JOS. J!
Shipp. of Chattanooga, Tenn, and five
co-defendants, charged with con-
tempt. The court today denied mo-
tions for a rehearing of the cases.
The cases originated in the courts
deciding In March, 1906, to consider
the appeal Of a negro named Ed
Johnson from a verdict of the Ten
nessee court, holding him guilty ard
sentencing him to be hanged on u
charge Of criminal assault. The night
after the determination Of the Sn-
preme Court to review the proceedings
In the case was wired to Chattanooga,
where Johnson was confined in jail,
a number of people stormed the Jail
and took him out and lynched him.
The court was much incensed over
the lynching. and at it's instance, the
Attorney General instituted proceed
ings against Shipp. who was the sher-
IN, and the jailer and twenty-five
others supposed to have been implicat-
ed In the lynching. charging them
with contempt Of the Supreme Court.
Many of the accused were exonerated,
and In the end only six were found
suilty. These were Sheriff Shipp, his
deputy. jeremiah Gibson. who was the
jailer; Luther Williams. Nick Nolan,
Henry Padgett and VIM Myers, resi-
dents Of Chattanooga.
The finding Of the court was an
nounced In May. just before the close
OF the last term Of court, but all the
defendants entered motions for a re-
hearing. which had the effect of post
poning action until the present
term.
The court today. through Chief
Justice Fuller, announced its denial of
the motions, the Chief Justice stating
at the same time the decision to have
the defendants appear on November
10 to receive sentence.
1t will be the duty of Marshal
Wright to present the men in court.
but he said today that he expected all
OF them to appear to hear the courts
verdict. which would relieve him OF
the trouble of going after them.
The court has the discretion to eth
er fine or imprison the men or to in
hict both penalties, and no intimation
has been given as to what course may
he pursued. 1t Is only known that
from the beginning Of the proceeding
the court has appeared exceptionally
Interested In the case, and Is believed
to feel that an exarnple must be made
to prvent other indignites to the
court.
