MANY FISH WALK ON LAND.
Florida and Philippines Produce a
Strange Species.

Strange Species.
One of the strangest fishes in the
world is the goby, which can swim,
but prefers to walk. Often it is seen
climbing on the roots of mangroves
in Florida, using its pectoral fins
after the manner of legs.
In the Philippines there is fish
called the pogo, which spends large
part of its time out of water. In
fact, it soon dies if prevented from
leaving the water. Sometimes it
climbs trees to a considerable height.
Another fish of the Philippines,
known as the terebog, is fond of TAX
ing walks on land and catches mice
and even rats on occasion, devouring
them with great relish. 1t attains a
length of three feet.

REPUBLICAN p TO
DEFEAT Re- ELT|SM

New York, Nov 3.-That the re-
publicans are contributing to the
democratic campaign funds, hoping
thus to defeat "Rooseveltisrn" in New
York, was asserted today by State
Chairman Huppuchu As proof of
his statement he published a letter
from H. W. Bartel Philadelphia re-
publican, enclosing a contribution to
the democratic fund. The letter says:
'The safeguard standing between CIV
ilized society and anarchy is respect
of law. When former president Of
the United states attacks the supreme
tribunal he shows he is dangerous
and not fit to be trusted with author
ity." Roosevelt is today speeding
westward to deliver speeches in Iowa
and Ohio.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-Doubtless with
the purpose and intention of plotting
and conspiring against their brother
men, to plan and design new and more
hideous and expensive models for
Easter hats such as will delight the
hearts of the feminine population and
flatten the pocketbooks of husbands
and fathers, the National Millinery
Jobbers' association convened here to-
day. Caring not who makes the cheap
and profitless hats for the men of the
country IL they may sell the ladies'
lids the millinery men are chock fun
of optimism and seeming prosperity.
1t Is understood that the feminine
headgear for the coming season will
be somewhat smaller and more con-
servative than the styles prevailing of
late, but It may be stated with author
ity that the prices will not be lower.
Jobbers assert that the big profits
supposed to prevail in the millinery
trade are non-existent and that their
margin of profit is no larger than in
other mercantile lines. Moreover, il
Is asserted, women's hats are to be
classified as perishable goods, as sud
den changes in styles and popular
fancy frequently entail large losses.

HONDURAS AGAIN
SCENE OF STRIFE

Washington, Nov. 3.-Advices that
martial law has been declared in
Honduras were received by the state
department today from Commander
Hayes of the gunboat Princeton. The
message said the republics affairs are
badly muddled and that an insur-
rection is in full swing. Foreign in
terests are threatened. 1t is almost
a foregone conclusion, officials here
say, that the United States will in
tervene although 1t will probably
wait a while for further action on the
part of the Honduran government.
Hayes cabled that Commandant VAL
ladares has possession of the town of
Amapala and has been officially de-
clared the enemy of the Honduran
government. He is trying to start a
revolution.
1t is believed this declaration of
Valladares as an enemy of Honduras
opens the way for the United States
to attempt his dislodgement. Valla-
dares has 600 armed men on the is
land ne controls but it is believed he
would surrender If the Princeton
would shell the town. Other advices
received indicate that former Presi-
dent Bonnalla, who made several rev.
olutionary attempts, is planning to
take advantage of the situation and
while the government troops are
busy with Amapala to enter from the
opposite boundary with a force of ex-
lies and start another scrap

BARNEY OLDFIELD
IS DISQUALIFIED

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 3.-Barney Old
field yesterday fought for three hours
great contest for the right to enter
today's automobile meet here and lost.
All attorneys for the American Au-
tomobile association held that instead
of an injunction to force the local
racing organization to allow him to
race in defiance of his disqualification
by the America Automobile associa-
ton, Oldfield should have sought
mandamous to secure reinstatement.
Oldfield's attorneys brought suit for
$40, 900 damages against the Ameri-
can Automobile association and one
for $4,000 against the Atlanta asso-
citation.
Oldfield's attorneys claimed that he
had been disqualified by the Ameri-
can Automobile association without a
hearing, that disqualification of his
Benz racer amounted to compensa-
ton of property.
The attorneys argued that his race
with Jack Johnson which caused the
disqualification. was justifable be-
cause it would tend to discourage
johnson from future competition with
white sportsmen.
The opposition counsel replied that
Oldfield's disbarmnt was automatic

Queer Suit on Trial.

Newark N. j.. Nov. 3.-One of the
queerest suits ever filed here is set
for hearing today. Adolph Fries,
an engineer of the Panama canal, is
the plaintiff and Mayor Charles A.
Beachtold and wife of Mountainside,
N. j., the defendants. Fries says that
Beachtold wrote him of a farm to be
bought at a bargain for $4,000. and
that he sent half that sum, later for
warding $4,000 more. Later Fries
alleges, he discovered that the farm
was in the name of Mrs. Beachtold,
and that his checks had been indorsed
over to her before they were cashed.
The Beachtolds allege that Fries sent
them the money as a free gift and
that to cause to give up the farm or
the money would be IAN injury and
fraud" This novel defense has
aroused wide interest among the legal
fraternity, who are awaiting the de-
cision with interest.

SAILOR DIVES IN HEAVY
SEA TO SAVE BILLS

New York.-Although a heavy sea
was running near the Ambrose Chan
mel light ship and a brisk southeast
wind was curling the waves into white
caps, John Ambrose, mate on board
the Dalzeline, a tug of the Ralzell
Towing company, plunged overheard
Tuesday in an effort to rescue six $40
bills which had been blown into the
water.
After Is minutes of hard struggling
with the waves Ambrose was reached
back on board with single $40 bill
he had rescued. His trends were con-
graduating him yesterday on his pluck
and endurance.
The Dalzelline had taken the J. B.
Manning, a schooner bound for Fer
nandina, Fla, down the bay on Tues
day and turned her loose southeast of
the lightship. Before the two vessels
parted Captain Kean put the tug al
ongside to receive the towing charg-
es, The six $40 bills were tucked in
the slit of a long bamboo pole, and
a sailor attempted to pass the money
over to the Dalzelline. Suddenly the
bills slipped from their fastening and
fluttered into the water.
Ambrose was in the water nearly as
soon as the bills, which were carried
quickly away by the wind and tide.
He managed to grasp one bill, but
the rest were too far scattered to be
reached.

Elect j. Il. SayIor and Thus Bring

County's Business Affairs.

At Echo last night Senator c. j.
Smith was shown conclusively that he
has steadfast friends among the peo-
pie of that town and that they are
found among republicans as well as
democrats. Prior to and following a
meeting which the democratic can
didates held at Echo last evening, DR..
Smith was showered with expressions
of cordiality and good will. They
came largely from people who have
known him as a physician during the
past 20 years and who respect and
like him for the manner in which he
has conducted his practice.
The meeting at Echo last evening
was a very successful one. Accord
ing to Echo people there were four
times as many spectators as were out
for the Burgess meeting, which was
held during an afternoon. Will NJ.
Peterson served as presiding officer.
Though tired by his arduous cam
paigning, Senator Smith delivered an
earnest and eloquent talk in which
he treated of the questions under con-
sideration in the campaign. The
hearty applause which greeted him
showed his popularity in unmistak-
a ble terms
