NO JOURNEY OF MODERN TIMES has at
tracted such great attention or excited such great in
terest as Roosevelt's journey through the Wilds of
Africa in search of the Big Game Of that Dark Con-
tinent. The rising generation have been brought to
a more interesting realization Of the Marvellous Won
ders Of the Heart OF Africa.

where the game is larger and more abundant and
there he shoots the largest and most ferocious of all
beasts the Lion, Rhinocerus and Elephant, and gets
the finest specimens of Monkeys and other animals.
ROOSEVELT WITNESSES the STRANGE
CUSTOMS of the strangest of all the Worlds Peo-
pie. Freaks of Medicine Men and Rainmakers. Pc
culiar Marriage Customs. Horrible antics of the
Wizards and Snake Charmers, Great Warriors that
make civilized people laugh, and Slave Drivers that
make Christian people cry.

Wonderful Travellers is a Brilliant Panorama of
Tropical Wonders that interests and educates the most
languid. Every page is full of thrilling incidents and
startling scenes, and the secrets of yesterday become

Chairman Harry r. Pollard. Jr.. of
the Richmond committee, when APP
preached on the subject Wednesday.
1T does look. however. as Ii some
organized force were operating
against the proposed consolidation OF
the cities" he continued. II cannot
prove that there is a lobby. therefore
/ don't make the charge, but
strongly suspect it."
Why have the Richmond and
Manchester committees delayed SO
long about presenting the agreement
to the two councils for ratification p
he was asked.
For my committee I can only say
that conditions are not just right at
this time. The annexation ordinance
will be sent to the council probably
In a short time. l cannot say definite
ly when"
Majority Are Opposed.
While Chairman Pollard Is optimis-
tic and seems confident that senti-
ment in the two branches of the city
council Is steadily growing in favor
Of annexation. 1t liz palpable that AT
and councilmen are opposed to the
consolidation of the cities.
The reason Is apparent in some
cases. Owners of property in the
new territory. which Is yet to be
improved. have a fixed belief that the
annexation Of Manchester will mean
indefinite delay In getting paving,
already annexed. They have advised
their representatives in the city coun-
Gil of their opposition to the CONSOLE
| dalton plan.
No Evidence of Lobby.
At the city haii the report that a
lobby is at work is discredited. There
| is not the slightest evidence upon
which to base such belief" said a
prominent municipal officer.
The councilmen who favor annexa-
ton are hopeful of winning over to
| council now antagonistic to the plan.
Wood Ticking No Part.
Alderman J. b. Woods resignation

II went to the last meeting of the

my resignation. Aldermen Melton

me to withhold the resignation thirty

RUSSIA SEEKS TO
ABSORB PERSIA
Smaller Country Expected to Soon
Become Province Of Larger
Nation. -s

TEHERAN, Feb. PERSIAN govern
ment officials are to-day satisfied that
Persia will be no better than a Russian
province within year. The recent
dispatch OF three strong detachments
OF the Cars soldiers to Ahar, the me-
tropolis OF province of Karadagh. for
the ostensibie purpose OF checking the
depredations of the notorious brigand,
Rahim Khan, has convinced the au-
thoritles that Russia has taken another
and decisive step in her program of
absorbing the Shahs country.
Rahtm Kahn was captured by a Rus
clan force several months ago, liber-
ated under orders from st. Petersburg.
was subsequently defeated by the gov
eminent troops under Sardar Bahadur.
and Is now suing Tor the Shah's pardon.
The real purpose OF the latest Rus
sian invasion, officials believe. is again
to reestablish Raiiim In order that Rus
sia may haze an excuse for retaining
an armed force at Ahar and thus keep
the province under Russian control.
1t is assumed here that Russia is act
ing with EngIand's sanction. OF has
taken advantage of England's involv-
ment in domestic political problems
All appeals to the Muscovite legation
here have gone unanswered.
