said, that for thirty years every sec

That there is no phosphorus or 9TH

is attested by the foremost chemists
of the country who have analysed the
paint.

A picture, the most remarkable feat
that has ever been known to photog-
raphy, was taken of this radiating
wonder by its own light at the Expo
sition recently. The camera was
placed with the picture in a room alb
solutely black with darkness. After
eleven hours of this exposure to the
rays from the painting, a perfect pho

A peculiar and uneXplainable part
of this experiment is that the features
of the picture, which do not appear

the shadow of a cross which does APP

Exposition which is guarantee of its
genuineness.
The artist in September, 1896, was
returning to his studio late at night
and noticed that the picture radiated
light. Believing that the moonbeams

JACK BLACKBURN SENTENCED
10 ElFTEEN YEARS.

The trial of Jack Blackburn, cham
pion welter-weight boxer, who was
charged with the shooting and kill
ing of Alonzo Polk, has come to a
close by the defendant pleading gull
ty. The evidence against Blackburn
grew stronger as each witness testi-
fed, and chances are that if the case
had gone to the jury the verdict would
have been murder in the first degree
The case was called for trial Mon
day and after considerable trouble a
jury was selected. During the two
days trial of the case the defendants
attorney endeavored to get Blackburn
of with a verdict of manslaughter
while the Commonwealth attorney
conducted the case with the view to
convict Blackburn, of murder in the
first degree.
Polk was very popular and his
friends in the Sth Ward were in posi-
ton to make such a strong fight for
conviction that it was, seemingly, a
matter of imposSibility for the de-
fendent to escape verdict of guilty,
therefore, upon the advice of his at
torney, Mr. Salus, he plead guilty.
During his appeal for mercy for his
client Mr. SaluS called attention to
the fact that no matter how small
the sentence would be Blackburn
would never be able to re-eAter the
arena again, and this in itself would
be no light punishment.
In passing sentence, Judge Carr in
the Court of Oyer and Terminer said
in substance that the defendent had
been properly advised to plead as he
did. for had the case gone to the jury
verdict of first degree might have
I leen returned, He sentenced Black
burn TO fifteen years punishment
Blackburn will be compelled, unless
/ pardoned sooner, TO serve two months
less Shan eight years. The commute

tence down TO eight years and -four

SPORT.
TIE National Baptist Juniors Walked
Away.

The National Baptist Juniors
walked away with the Baptist Hill
Swifts of East Nashville. The Bap-
fist Hill Swifts were at the mercy Of
the National Baptist Juniors in every
inning. The features of the game
were the pitching of Saul Patton and
the swift playing of the infield. In
deed some star playing was done
around second base by the National
Baptist Juniors, which succeeded in
keeping the Baptist Hill Swifts to a
small score. Owing to the rough
ness of the outfeld there were only
about three catches made. The Bap-
fist Hill Swifts gave up the game in
the eighth inning when 7, B. Boyd
knocked a three base hit scoring 4

Brinkley, Ark.-This town was prac-
tically wiped out of existence by
tornado on Monday night The prop
erty loss is conservatively placed at
$1,000000 and the loss of life at not
less than 33.
The business section is a total loss,
buildings and stocks being almost
worthless.
1t is doubtful if anything can be
taken from the business houses that
will be of value.
About six or eight homes are all
that is left of the residence section
that has not been destroyed, and they
are damaged.
Among the known dead at BriEkley
and other places where the storm
struck are the following:

Fifteen Out of 1000 Houses Standing.
The story of Brinkley's destruction
will never be adequately told, for the
scene of desolation which the city pre-
sents is one that beggars description.
OF the thousand or more houses in
the city not more than Is now stand
intact. Among the ruins of their
homes the people are holding hope
less vigil. The destruction of the
electric light plant has left the city
in total darkness, which is relieved
only by occasional bonfires around
which the homeless are gathered.
A sudden drop in the temperature
has added to the sufferings of the
hundreds who are without shelter.
The city is practically without food
and without the aid which has been
freely promised by the people of 9th
er communities starvation would be
added to the terrors which the strick
en- city would have to face.
There was only one undertaking
establishment in Brinkley and that
was demolished by the tornado AS
a result there was no place in which
to care for the dead The bodies were
conveyed to buildings which had sus-
tanned the least damage and early in
the day a number were sent to For
rest City to be prepared for burial
There were not enough collins in
Brinkley to meet the needs of the
city.
No more complete scene of destruc-
tion could be imagined than that
which was disclosed when the dawn
broke Tuesday morning and brought
an end to the first terrible night. !
Scarcely a house in the city escaped
complete or partial demolition. The
business section was a mass of ruins
and among the debris were hundreds
of men working like mad to recover |
