PACK OF COYOTES
TERRORIZES PARK
PeacOcks, Wild Fowl and Rab=
bits Preyed Upon by Fleet
MarauderS
Mammoth Leader Frightens Late
Pedestrians, but Defles
Pursuit

A pack of about six coyotes are run
ming wild in Golden Gate park. causing
a reign Of terror among the wild fowl
and rabbits and occasionally frighten-
ing late stra gglers along the park
roads. The leader of the band is big
male which Policeman Charles Budd,
specially detailed from the park police
station to hunt the enemies of duck
and other feathered inhabitants OF the
park, declares TO be the largest he has
ever seen. Budd is a good judge, being
one Of the foremost huntsmen in the
police department.
At night the coyotes slip down into
the park from Sutro forest or from the
thickly wooded slopes Of the Preside
and make q full meal Of ducks, pea
cocks or rabbits, all Of which have be-
come quite tame through not being
hunted or chased.
About a month ago it was first
known there was a coyote at large.
That was when one fell before the rifle
OF Budd Three days later William
Miller. the watchman employed by the
park board to look out for hawks,
bagged a second. Both of these were
females and one had left apparently
a nearly full grown litter.
Every few days, since the killing OF
the females. persons leaving the park
toward sunset have reported see
ing the coyotes, and especially the big
leader. once a workman told a
mounted officer of having seen a great
wolf speeding through the bushes and
trees along the new panhandle The
officer 4 few minutes later was in the
neighborhOOd OF the new road. and saw
what the workman had described as
a wolf" but which he immediately
recognized 4 5 the coyote leader. The
policeman gave chase. but the big
fellow. who was gliding along with
his tongue out as If tired. along a
small path. merely increased his pace
and slipped into the shrubbery.
For some time past the wild ducks
have risen in great f1ocks from the
shores around Stow lake in the dead OF
night but it was believed this was
due 10 the appearance of a big barn
owl. which feIl before Policeman Budd' s
gun three days ago. However, this was
disproved when on Friday night a man
walking near the lake was attracted
by the futter of wings in the air, and
as he came closer saw several doglike
shapes glide back into the trees on the
opposite side of the path.
Budd and Miller are watching closely
for 2 chance to stop the careers of the
night raiders and expect any day to get
,he pack. tt may be necessary to make
q search of Sutro forest and the Pre-
sidio with dogs and rifles for the
coyotes.

COLLECTOR JUDGES MEN
BY LENGTH OF PIPES

M. de VAUDEVILLE of Paris is a col
lector of pipes, and his study of the
question has enabled him to Judge pco-
pie by their pipes. The pipe he tells US
is characteristic of the race, while the
cigar and cigarette are cosmopoiitan.
The activity of race is proportiona;
to the length of the stem of thei-
pipes.
The shorter the pipes the more Ia
longer the pipe the more slothfui the
people, says Tit-Bits The more eco
nomic the people the shorter the pipe
the race-the more gluttonous 1t is :
the bigger is the bowl of the pipe. FIis
last deduction regarding the smoking
of pipes is perhaps the most unas-
Sailable. 1t is:
The main point in regard. to, pipes
is not to break them"
No one who enjoys the old Engifsn

EXPOSURE TO SUN
FERTILIZES THE SOIL
Kills Bacteria and Increases
heterogeneous Compounds

A striking instance Of the way in
which modern investigators often dis
cover that a sound reason, although
scientifically uncomprehended. underlies
many time honored practices, is fur
nished by a recent examination of the
proceedings Of the ryots of India, who
for centuries have been accustomed to
expose their alluvial soils TO the in
tense heat and light of the sun during
the hot weather of April and May, reap
ing for their reward extraordinary
crops, as if the soil had received a
dressing of nitrogenous manure. Doc
tors Russell and Hutchison explain
this as due to the bactericidal action
of the sunlight, which sterilizes the soil.
Scientific experiments have shown that
partial sterilization Of the soil by heat
or poisons leads to increased fertility
through the increase of nitrogenous
cOmpounds.-London Globe

TRAINMEN ATTEMPT
TO AVOID STRIKE
Head of Railroad Brotherhood
Resumes Negotiations With
Pennsylvania Company
Western Lines Offered Terms
That Eastern Conductors
Have Demanded :.

PHILADELPHIA, July 16.-After
two days. suspension OF negotiations
and extensive strike preparations. an
nouncement was made today that rep
resentatives of conductors and train
men will meet General Manager Myers
of the Pennsylvania road Monday at II
O'Clock An explanation of the reopen
President W. 6. Lee of the brotherhood
of railroad trainmen:
"A telephone message was received
last night" he said, from one whom
am not at liberty to name. but who has
no official connection with either side
of the controversy-you may call him
merely private citizen. He said he
was convinced there had been mis-
understanding which might be cleared
by another conference.
Il was still wondering how there
could possibly have been a misunder-
standing, when Vice President Shep-
pard of the conductors union and Vice
President Sines of the trainmen's
brotherhood arrived this morning from
Pittsburg and said that the company
had offered the western men substan-
TALLY the conditions that we were
fighting for.
Therefore. we asked Myers for an
other conference, and he set the hour
for II O'Clock on Monday"
In the vast West Philadelphia yards
cars are being fitted up as temporary
quarters for the men who will be re-
cruited in the event of strike from
The cOmpany's many shops in and about
this city. The special police force of
1000 men on the lines between here and
Pittsburg will be increased to 5000 and,
II necessary. to 5000.
When President GarretsOn of the
order of railways conductors was IN
formed of these preparations he ex-
pressed no surprise.
Il think the company would show a
woeful lack of foresight if it did not"
was his only comment.

WANT TAXES ON
ITS ALBANY PLANT.
City Attorney Holds Ameri-
Gus Concern.

Albany proposes to make the Amer
icus Grocery Company pay taxes on
notes and accounts due from it's AL
bany patrons. The Herald tells about
it as follows:
City Attorney James Tiff Mann has
rendered an opinion to the effect that
a firm having it's main office in an
other city, but doing business through
a branch office in this city, must make
returns in this city for taxes on it's
notes and accounts in connection with
the business done through it's local
office.
The city attorney was asked for an
opinion in this matter because of the
failure of the Americus Grocery Com
pany to return the notes and accounts
of its Albany branch The company
gives as reason for this failure that
all its notes and accounts, both those
at the main office and those at the AL
bany office, are returned at Americus,
and therefore should not be returned
for taxes insAlbany, as this would be
double taxation. The city attorneys
opinion holds that all accounts and
notes that have their origin in the
business conducted by the Albany
branch must be returned for taxation
in Albany, and the firm has been noti-
fed to that effect.

BRANTLEY TALKS OF
GEORGIA SENATORSHIP
Won't Discuss Possible Candidacy at
This Time.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 25-Con
gressman Brantley will not be a can
didate for the United States Senate
now for the very good reason that
there is at present no vacancy and
none in sight for about two years.
Mr.. Brantley was asked whether in
the event there should be a vacancy
for the Upper House of Congress, he
would enter his name, to which he
replied that in as much as it would
be about two years until such con-
tingency probably would arise. He
was not now in a position to answer
the question categorically. What he
would do should there arise a neces-
sity for securing another Senator,
would be considered at the proper
time, he said. 5:
Tt is true, however, that Mr. Brant-
ley is in receipt of communications
from members of the Georgia legisla.
ture advising him thta in the even
of his making the race he may coun
on their support Mr.. Brantley ha'
assured his Georgia friends that h,
thoroughly appreciate their offer 0
friendly help, but just now he doe
not see any chance of entering tn
Senate, as Georgia already has tw
good, live senators and the law doe
not provide for any more.

TO SEND FIFTY WORDS
CHEAP At NIGHT.
W. u. to Make a Popular
Innovation.

The Americas Office of the Western
Union has received no advices as
yet about the removal to it of the
long distance branch of the Southern
Bell Telephone Co. Neither has it
been officially advised of the new fifty
word night letter system that is being
introduced and which, promises to be a
very popular innovation.
By the new might letter" system, a
50-word message submitted before
midnight at the day rate, for 10 words
will be delivered by the telegraph COM
pany about 8 o'clock in the morning,
or delivered on the first mail delivery
at the point of destination
This new device to even the heavy
day and night loads on the wires by
offering cheaper rates for the night
service is one of the improvements
promised at the time of the merger of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graphs company with the Western
Union.
Another innovation which will be
Instituted is being tried now in Chi
cago, that of transmission and deliv-
cry by telephone, and collection of
telegraph charges by the telephone
company. If the plan proves success
full in Chicago it will be put in prac-
tice over all the Western Union divis-
ions.

sPIRTTIsM SAID TO BE DEMONIsM.

A most interesting little Brochure
has recently come off the press set
ting forth with Bible proofs that the
communications received by and
through Spirit Mediums is of Demon
origin. The writer traces his subject
through the Scriptures from the time
whe ncertain of the holy angels be-
came disobedient. He proves from the
Scriptures that these fallen spirits
deal in personating the human dead
with whose past history spirits
though invisible, are thoroughly ac-
quainted. He shows that they also fre-
quently personate the Creator and the
Redeemer, commanding their deceived
ones to pray, do penance, etc. This
however, is merely to lead them on
and to bring them more thoroughly
under demonical control Sometimes by
breaking down the natural barrier
the human will, they obess their vic
tim, and rule him more or less to his
ruin-frequently sending such to the
mad house. Numerous illustrations
Scriptural and otherwise, are given,
The price of the little book is but
ten cents; it should be in the hands
of all interested in Spiritism or who
have friends interested therein. En-

Hs
THEY BUY IN AMERICA: :j,s
AND Effect A SAVING.
Dollar Ton Difference in
Price GuanO.

The unusually large number of wag-
ons hauling commercial fertilizer
from Americus recently has caused
considerable comment and led to the
belief that farmers of this sectiTI5
were buying a great deal more of 1T
this year than heretofore, and in
creasing the cotton acreage.
Such, however, is not the case, and
the presence of the number of wagons
here is explained by the fact that
farmers are hauling it with their
teams instead of by rail.
Good country roads and low freight
rates here explains it.
Fertilizer is shipped to Americus
from the factories, that is, brands
not manufactured here, and at com
petitive railway rates. If this same
fertilizer is shipped by local agents to
farmers at nearby railway stations the
local freight rate from Americus is
added to the cost, of course.
This has been done to 1 great extent
in years past, and the farmers paid
the freight charges.
But the construction Of good roads
here has brought about a change.
Farmers can now haul heavy loads of
guano from Americus direct to their
farms with greatest ease, and thereby
save the local freight charge to their
railway point, which is from rs cents
to 81 per ton.
A farmer using fifty to a hundred
tons fertilizer thus effects a consider
able saving in hauling it over the fine
roads of Sumter.
