Niehaus has been working on the
statue about two years. In depicting
the features of the Revolutionary hero
the sculptor has used the terra-cotta
bust by Houdon, now in the posses

the Bonhomme Richard is represented
as watching a naval engagement, his
right hand clenched and his left hand
holding his sword.

remains of John Paul Jones were in

Paris. These efforts resulted in docu-
mentary proof that he was buried ON
the evening of July 20, 1872. in the
now abandoned cemetery of st. Louis

The body was found encased in a lead

Washington.-"How would you like

This is a hypothetical question

report from the department the ques-,

report says:

CHAPTER v.
The Woman In the Next Car.

The Woman In the Next Car.
With the departure of the conduc-
tor and the doctor, the group around
lower ten broke up. to reform In
smaller knots through the car. The
porter remained on guard. With
something of relief I sank into a seat.
l wanted to think, to try to remember
the details of the previous night. But
my inquisitive acquaintance had other
Intentions. He came up and sat down
beside me Like the conductor, he had
taken notes of the dead mans be-
longings, his name, address, clothing
and the general circumstances of the
crime. Now with his little notebook
open before him, he prepared to en-
joy the minor sensation of the rob-
berry.
"And now for the second victim,'
he began cheerfully. what is your
name and address, please?"
l eyed him with suspicion.
81 have lost everything but my name
and address," I parted. what do you
want them for? Publications."
ooh, no; dear, mol" he said, shocked
at my misapprehension. Merely for
my own enlightenment. I like to
gather data of this kind and draw my
own conclusions. Most interesting and
%engrossing. Once or twice l have
f~orestalled the results of police inves-
tigation-but entirely for my own
amusement"
I nodded tolerantly. Most of us
have hobbies; I knew a man once who
carried his handkerchief up his sleeve
and had a mania for old colored prints
cut out of Godey's Lady Book.
II use that inductive method orig
mated by Poe and followed since with
such success by Conan Doyle. Have
you ever read Gaboriau? All, you have
missed a treat, indeed. And now, to
get down to business, what is the
name of our escaped thief and prob
able murderer"
"How on earth do I know?" I de-
manded impatiently. HE didn't write
1t in blood anywhere, did he?"
The little man looked hurt and dis
appointed.
do 0 mean to say" he asked,
that the pockets of those clothes are
entirely empty?"
The pockets! In the excitement I
had forgotten entirely the sealskin
grip which. the porter now sat at my
feet, and I had not investigated the
pockets at all. With the inquisitiye
mans pencil taking note of every
thing that / found, I emptied them on

INCREASED COTTON ACREAGE,
Seven-Tenths of One Per Cent. More
Cotton Planted.

In statement issued by the Ma
tional Ginners' Association at Mem
phis, Tenn, it is estimated that the
acreage planted to cotton in the
southern states on April 26th had
been increased by seven-tenths of one
per cent. as compared with the same
date last year.
In the eastern states a small in
crease is reported, while the valley
states show slight decrease because
OF the spread of boil weevil. Texas
shows a slight increase and Oklaho-
ma about 10 per cent. not as much
as indicated in March in either state
This is explained by the scarcity Of
teedstutfs, increasing the acreage in
corn, oats and alfalfa.
Reports to the association show
that "a per cent of the crop has been
planted. The greater part of the
plants which were up before the re-
cent cold weather were killed excent
IN central and southern Texas. and
1t is estimated that 100000 acres
should be replanted. With average
weather a loss of 10 per cent. in yield
is predicted

A FAITHFUL FRIEND.
The Secret of His Loyalty to the Con.
demned Man.

uculueu MAN.
A negro was executed in a prison
not many hours journey from the
city not long ago, says the Philadel-
phia Times. For several months
prior to his departure he had been
visited by faithful friend who
brought him chicken, possum, sweet
potatoes, cigars and other things.
The bearer of these good things
seemed to be under some trouble
1t was suspected that he had some
intimate knowledge of the crime for
which the other was to be executed
The secret came to light on the
morning of the execution, when one
of the guards overheard this CONVEX
sation between the two men:
Now, Jim, didn't I done do every
thing l could for your"
Yes, Bill, you has sho fulfilled
all oh yo' obligation and squared

suspicion. In the early part of jan
uary the police authorities received
a tip from "Ally" Montana, a some
what notorious character, that HATTIE
berg had been murdered and his body
sunk to the bottom of Indian creek
by Gohl How "Ally" obtained his
information has not been explained,
but it is supposed that he heard Gohl
speak of the crime. Acting upon the
tip Chief of Police Dean detailed two
men to watch Gohl, while he began
a thorough search of the waters of
Indian creek After six weeks of
searching the body was found, and
an examination showed that there
were two bullet holes in the back of
the head.
1t is believed that two detectives
from Seattle, who assisted in the in
vestigation of the case and in the
collecting of evidence against Gohl,
struck up an acquaintance with Gohl
and so completely won his conf
dence that he became unguarded in
his conversation and gave them some
valuable pointers. 1t is understood
that the authorities had information
of Klingenberg's connection with the
Hatteberg murder, and were prepared
to arrest him upon the arrival of
the schooner upon which Gohl had
placed him few days after the MUIR.
der. Klingenberg stated after his ar
rest that Gohl, fearing that he would
betray the secret of the crime, tried
to murder Klingenberg, and, failing,
owing to the latter's watchfulness,
had placed him upon the schooner
A. j. West and ordered him never to
return under penalty of death.
Gohl who for seven years was To-
cal agent of the sailors union, is
said to have a bad police record
which, it is understood, will be used
against him in the trial. The union
has raised fund for his defense,
and Gohl will be defended by w. H.
Abel, one of the shrewdest criminal
lawyers in Chehalis county, who will
be assisted by his brother, A. NJ.
Abel, of Aberdeen.

DEATH CLAIMS KING EDWARD.
EngIand's Monarch SuCcumbs After
Choking Spells.

King Edward VII of England
passed away at midnight of May 9Th.
The end was peaceful, and death
came to the distinguished patient
after a brief illness. He will be sue
cee9ed on the throne of Great Britain
by Prince Albert.
The kings death was due directly
to bronchitis in an acute form, and
the first intimation to the people that
anything serious was wrong with the
king was when his majesty failed
to meet the queen at her pier when
she returned from a visit to the con-
tinent the day before About 8
o'clock the king experienced choking
spells which affected his heart.
About 1880 o'clock all the members
of the royal family were summoned
to the palace.
The queen hurried to the palace,
and soon afterwards the public
learned by an official announcement
that the king had been i'll seriously
for two days. The fact that his ill
ness had thus been concealed from
the knowledge of the public increased
the alarm, and when the end came
little surprise was expressed Prince
Albert, who will succeed his father
on the throne, is popular among all
classes, and is conceded to be an able
and conservative statesman, although
young in years.
The king spent the weekend at
Sandringham with the object of com,
batting the threatened attack which
resulted in his demise, and upon his
return was apparently improved in
health, but sudden changes in the
weather were very trying on his ma
jesty, and he was finally compelled
to keep indoors.
Almost up to the time of his death
the deceased king was in full posses
sion of all his faculties, and appar-
emily in good spirits, though suf-
fering intensely. All the members
of the royal family were at his bed
side when the end came.

A SCARLET DAB OF DEATH
RED PAINT ON SKY-SCRAPER
FRAME MARKS A FATALITY.
Men Working Up in the Air Are Not
Particularly Careful, But Guard
Against Hypnotism of Hight.


See that big blob of scarlet
paint?" said the engineer to his Wis
itor. as he pointed to girder high
I'D in the skeleton of the new sky
scraper. THAT red spot means that
one of the men working on the build
ing was killed by the girder sweep
ing him off the structure while being
put in position.
"Those men up there are working
under the chance of instant death at
any moment. They'll walk along the
topmost girder, 800 feet above the
sidewalk little path of slippery
iron, five inches wide-and will lean
outward against the wind You or
couldn't do it for a second.
''Now and again there is an acct
dent. A chap slips. A worker gets
hit by a swinging girder and flung
Ioff. Another man takes an incautious
step and falls into eternity. The
men working near by de their best to
get at him if he manage to grab the
girder he's falling from, and there
are some swift and reckless races
at any cost in the five or ten seconds
allowed them while strong fingers
are sliding away from slippery
beam fange. If the worst happens,
and the man falls in spite of their eff
forts, then they apply the dab of red
paint, and the iron workers call it
day They don't speak much of
the man that is gone as rule. He's
soon forgotten. The men consider
it fate.
"You think, by the way" went on
the engineer, that the higher up
these men worked the more careful
they'd become. They aren't particu-
larly careful, but they do guard
against the hypnotism of height.
One of the men working on a high
girder gets paralysis now and again
by a sudden fear that holds him mo-
tionless and still on his iron beam.
The men look out for this sort of
thing, and the remedy is to distract
his attention by a rough blow on the
back or in some cases by exciting him
to anger through any means in their
power. When the man gets fighting
mad he is freed from the paralysis of
terror or whatever you choose to call
it. He gets up from his girder to
make rush for the other fellow to
do him up, and the moment he is safe
he is restrained by the other men.
"The brick men are in much the
same position as the iron workers.
The man that had the nerve and the
skill to set the capstone in the big
tower in Madison Square, New York,
700 feet above the ground, was killed
only last month by falling from the
second story of an apartment house
being built up in Harlem.
Whenever you see a sky-scraper
framework" concluded the engineer.
leach dab of scarlet paint on the
iron means that some man has come
to his death. Every sky-scraper and
every bridge is the monument to some
little group of unknown workers, la
boring at dizzy heights and dallying
with sudden death as part of their
days work"

Cotton Seed Mill Association Will
Meet in Little Rock.

Meet in Little Rock.
The Georgia members of the Inter-
State Cotton Seed Crushers' Associa-
ton are going to the annual meeting
of this organization at Little Rock,
Ark, the latter part of this month
on special train. M. S. Sarperof of
Atlanta and w. H. Mckenzie of Mon

Georgia, with Julian Field of Atlanta,
are working out the details for this
delightful trip, always one of the
most pleasant features of the annual
meeting.
The Seaboard Air Line railroad
has been selected as the route, and
most delightful itinerary is being
planned.
The Georgia delegation will be
headed by l.. A. Ransom of Atlanta,
former president of the Interstate
Cotton Seed Crushers' Association.
and the train will be made I'D of
large parties of crushers from AL
bany, Dawson, Macon, Savannah,
Waycross, cambridge, Fort Valley,
Athens and Cartersville
1t is very probable that the South
Carolina delegation, headed by Ben
jamin E. Taylor, the first vice-presi-
dent of the association and who is to
be promoted to the presidency at this
meeting, will join the Georgia dele
cation in Atlanta, and make the trip
| to Little Rock together.
Little Rock is the home of Presi-
dent A. d. Allen of the association
and he will preside both as host and
executive officer at the coming meet
Ing.
The programme is now being pre-.
pared for this meeting, and the
speakers list will include men prom
inent both in the south and through
out the country for the great inter
est they have displayed in promoting
the use of cotton seed products, now
such an important article of food
both in the menu of man and beast.
The dates for the convention are
