Utica, ~ Y, July 19.-Romance and
crime went hand in hand in the career
of F. Howard Lowery. former assist.
ant cashier of the Utica City National
bank, who has been brought back to
Utica from Philadelphia, where he was
captured, to answer to the charge of
having looted the bank of $144, 800 by
a series of embezzlements extending
over years.
While Lowery was juggling the
banks cash he was courting Miss
Bessie II. Sanderson, a pretty young
stenographer In a law office In the
same building as the bank.
He married Miss Sanderson three
weeks before his flight. The marriage
was kept a secret by both. He con
tinued to occupy the old Lowery fam
lily house alone, and she kept to her
small apartment.
1t was through watching Lowery's
bride that detectives were able to cap
ture him. She was unconscious that
she was being watched.
Lowery will be arraigned in the city
court here to-day on a charge of grand
larceny in the first degree

SAY OUR HORSES CAN'T STAY
Englishmen Admit Their Speed, but
Deny They Have Stamina.

Englishmen Admit Their Speed, but
Deny They Have Stamina.
Commenting on the poor perform
ance of the American colt Sir Martin
in the Gold cup at Ascot, where he
finished nowhere, the English critics
say again that Yankee racers have
great speed, but can't stay. Sir Mar
tins rating last year was a most Pc
culiar one. In the Derby he fell Just
before reaching Tattenham corner and
not only put himself out of the run
ming, but 1t has been thought ever
since that he actually prevented VII
liam ". from winning.
How much there is In the theory
cannot now be determined, but it
is a fact that William w. was inter
fered with by Sir Martin, and yet he
finished In third place, only half a
length away from Minoru, the winner.
The subsequent running OF Sir Martin
as a three-year-old gave ground for a
calculation that he should have beat
en- everything In the Derby except
Bayardo. In last years Cambridge

having the worst OF the weight by
long odds, he was third TO Christmas
Daisy and MustGpha. AS the race
came off in very heavy ground 1t was
probably not to his liking or be might
have done better.
The day following, when the ground
had dried up and was much better for
going, the American colt put up a rec
ord performance In the Durham hand
leap. He won with the top weight.
but was not seen In public again un'
I'll he won the Coronation cup at Ep-
som. This event was over the mile
and a half course, and Sir Martin put
up capital performance.
Commenting upon the quality OF
American horses, Vigilant in the
Sportsman says:
"It is remarkable, however, that
horses bred In America have generally
been distinguished for speed rather
than stamina, though there have been
notable exceptions"

WINGS THAT WERE FINS.
Evidence That Penguln's PlnIons
Were Once Used for Swimming.

Ornithological puzzles are the pen
gums with their curlously shaped
winds suggest that the penguins are
descendants Of birds which used their
wings rather than legs in the pursuit
of prey under water, and as the strug.
gle intensified between the competing
individuals the most expert at this
sort of swimming would get the most
food and oust their less successful
rivals. The winners gained advan-
tage over their neighbors in proper.
ton as their wings improved as
swimming organs, and inversely and
of necessity became less suited to per.
form the work of flight.
In all other birds the feathers
though shed annually are more or
less gradually displaced; but in the
penguins the new feathers all start
into being at the same time and
thrust out the old feathers upon their
tips so that these come away in great
flakes. Whereas In all birds save
penguins the new feathers as they
thrust their way through the skin end
in pencil-like points, formed by in
vesting sheaths, in the penguins these
sheaths are open at the tips and at
tached by their rims to the roots of
the old feathers, and hence these are
held to their successors until they
have attained a sufficient length to
insure protection against cold
The curious device for retaining
the warmth afforded by the old feath-
ers until the new generation can fill
their places is apparently due to the
fact that penguins are natives of the
antarctic regions, although some now
inhabit tropical seas.

Electric Traction in Sweden.

The Swedish government has be
gun the electrifcation of the system
of railroads controlled by it. A regu-
lar service of electric trains is first
to be established between Stockholm
and Jarfra. The trains will be light
ed and heated as well as driven by
electricity, but compressed air will be
employed for braking. Before extend
ing the electrification to the entire
railroad system, the government is
seeking sufficient and reliable sup
ply of motive power from waterfalls,
1t is believed that this will be found,
and If so 1t will result in great econo-
my. because coal has to be imported
to run the steam-engines now in use

A VANISHING Lake.

Fresh evidence of the disappear
ance of Lake Tchad in Central Africa
has lately been accumulated. Cap
tain Tilho of the Anglo-French Bound
airy Commission says that the form
and area of the lake have undergone
great changes since the explorations
of Barth and Nachtigal, 40 or so years
ago. 1t is now navigable only in GER
tain places, and boats frequently run
aground. The tendency seems TO be
toward the development of vast
marsh on the site of the lake, although
half a century ago its great waves in
stormy weather gave 1t the appear
ance of an ocean.

Good Roads Election.

On Friday the election ordered
by the Board Of Supervisors to
determine whether or not the
Third Supervisors District would
issue bonds for the purpose of
raising funds. with which to con-
struct good roads, was carried by
81 majority.
The election brought out some
opposition from those who did
not understand the law, and at
some precincts, strenuous fights
were made to defeat it. 1t is
always the case with new propo-
sitions and those who now op-
pose the law will come around
all right when it is put in opera
ton.
Good roads need no argument
to establish their value and when
we once have them there will be
a constant demand for their ex-
tension. The stock law propo-
sition was bitterly fought at first
and after its benefits were DEM
onstrated in one section OF the
county, other sections demanded
it until it extended beyond the
limits of our county into the ad-
joining counties. Any one now
advocating the return to the old
fence law would meet with no
favor. -
The Board of Supervisors, as
tie law directs, appointed three
commissioners under whose
direction the roads will be con-
structed. H. B. Heard, of Bel
den, D. w. Robins, of Tupelc,
and Emmet Whitesides, of
Mooresville were appointed the
commissioners.

In Menoriam.

Mrs Harriette Whitaker was
born August 20, 1889, died Apri
20, 1910. She united with the
First Baptist churcha at the early
age Of fourteen, and at the age
of eighteen married H. E.
Whitaker, with whom she lived
happily for three years. She
was endowed with a lovely
disposition, ever thoughtful and
considerate of those around her
and especially devoted to her
husband, mother and father.
This seems an unusually sad
ordeal for the bereaved family
for one so young just starting
out in the bloom Of youth to be
taken from them.
Nature may be wrung with
anguish even while grace en-
ables the tried ones to triumph.
But God knows best. He
knows what key is in the human
heart to draw out it's sweetness
and best harmonies; they may
be strains Of sadness and sorrow,
or the loftiest notes of joy and
gladness, and as He hath need
of His children He calleth them
to higher existence.
There is world above
Where parting IS unknown;
A whole eternity of love
Formed for good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that happier sphere.
