Rockefeller's Pastor Contends
Flood a Creation of Pri-
mitive Minds.

New York, March 29.-That many
of the statements in the Bible, particu-
larly those in the early chapters Of
Genesis, are founded Oh myth, was
the statement of the Rev. DIR. Aked at
the Fifth Avenue Baptist church.
''The flood" said he, ''is not believed
to be fact in history by the students
of the Scriptures nor by student of
science. The stories of the flood and
many others in the Bible are too much
at variance in them as history.
"It may &c startling to he told that
the Bible is founded on myth. But,
then, myth is nothing more than the
spontaneous creation of primitive
people, which may be considered as the
recording of some early natural phe-
nomena. 1t is for us TO learn the lesson
that myth teaches. Myth has beauty
and meaning, for it lies at the very be.

Sustains a Very Painful Injury
in a Runaway Near
Bridgeport.

Charles A. O'Dell was seriously in
jured Saturday in runaway on the
O'Dell place near Bridgeport. The
O'Dells own pair of Perchoin ponies
and one of these was hitched up with
an old horse and was being used to
gather up brush. The pony rubbed
its head against the old horse and
rubbed off the bride. Thinking that
he would be able to grab the pony by
ills head, Charles sprang to its head,
but he missed his object and fell be-
tween the two horses, was knocked
down and the double tree and brush
hit him, infiicting Il bad cut in the
calf Of the leg, severely tearing the

Factory Fire Claims Lives of
Nearly $50 Persons.
SIXTY JUMPED TO DEATH
Most of the Victims Were So
Badly Mangled That it Was I'M
possible to Identify Them-The
Worst Since Slocum Disaster.

New York, March 29.--One hundred
and forty-eight persons-133 of them
girls and elderly women from the East
Side--were crushed to death on the
pavements, smothered in smoke or
shriveled crispin factory fire Saturday
afternoon in the worst disaster New
York has known since the steamship
General Slocum was burned TO the
waters edge off North Brothers Island
in 1904.
One hundr red and forty-one bodies
were removed from the ruins, and seven
of the forty injured had died in
hospitals, swelling the total. This
completed the list of dead, most of
whom are unidentified. Grief-crazed
relatives besieged the morgue as the
bodies were laid out.
Nearly all, if not all, the victims
were employed by the Triangle Shirt
waist Company, on the eighth, ninth
and tenth floors of ten-story loft
building at No. % Washington place,
ON the western fringe of the downtown
wholesale clothing, tur and millinery
district. The partners of the firm,
Isaac Harris and Max Blanck, escaped
unscathed from the office of the tenth
floor, carrying with them over an ad-
joining roof Blanck s two young daugh-
ters and governess. There was not
an outside fire escape on the building.
How the fire started will perhaps
never be known. A corner on the
eighth floor was its point of origin and
the three upper floors only were swept.
On the ninth floor fifty bodies were
found. SiXty-three, or more, persons
were c.ushed TO death by jumping,
and more than thirty clogged the
elevator shafts.

People North of River Were
in Favor of 1t.
MANY VOTERS DIDN'T VOTE
At Del Rio Practically the Same
Number of Votes Were for Re-
peal of Hog Law as There Were
Against the mo Fence Law"

Representative Frank Parrott spent
Saturday and Sunday with his family,
here, and incidentally he learned what
the people were thinking of his pro-
posed stock law. Several weeks ago
he asked that the voters gather at
their respective voting places on Sat
urday, March %, and make it known
whether they were for or against the
stock law, which had been styled
"The No Fence Law" Through the
newspaper agitation, the voters turned
out in large numbers and those living
North of the rivers favored the bill
overwhelmingly, but the people living
on the South side of the river were
against it even more overwhelmingly.
Just what the votes show has not
been learned. At Newport mass
meeting vas held and it was attended
by three or four hundred men and not
one word was put forth favoring the
"No Fence Law" two or three ST eeches
being made in opposition to it. There
were numerous people in the district
who favored the bill, but for some
reason they refused to participate. If
Representative Patrott abides by the
votes cast at the different polling
plrces, he will see that the no-fence
law is killed, and the stock law of the
present will remain in force for the
next two years.
AT Del Rio 235 voted against the
"No Fence law" while only % voted
for it. When vote was taken in re-
gard to the repeal of the hog law, 195
voted for the repeal and "a against the

Office for Lewis S. Rains, who
Succeeds Squire Green.

Congressman Sam II. Sells has made
his first Cooke county postoffice
change and has named Lewis S. Rains,
postmaster at Nailon, to succeed Squire
Joe Green. The First district congress-
mans enemies criticise him for putting
friends in office so soon, but this criti-
cism comes principally from the Old
Guard which sought Sells defeat.
Among the other postofflces filled by
Congressman Sells the past week are
the following:
John. III. Hinkle, Carter; Geo. l..
DeLozier, Boyd's Greek; T. 1. Mount,

ESTABLISH POST OFFICES
ALONG I. & n. c. ROAD

Greeneville directly with bonds Of
steel.
President w. II. Patterson, of the
Greeneville and Knoxville railroad pre-
sented the meeting the plan to extend
his road toward Knoxville and asked
Greeneville to take 100000 stock in the
enterprise, stating that Pennsylvania
county, of which Brevard, n C.,is the
county seat, and with only a small
population had subscribed 100000.
President w. J. Oliver of the Knox
vile, Sevierville & Eastern railroad
proposed to extend his road eastward
from Sevierville to Canton without aid,
if Greeneville would enable Mr.. Pat
terson to put his road into Brevard
about forty-five miles west of the pres
ent eastern terminus of the Greenevile
q Knoxville road. Mr. Oliver said the
linking of the two roads by building
from Canton to Brevard about forty
miles and KnoxviIIe's new trunk line
to the southeast would thereby be
realized.
Mr.. Oliver said the road would be
standard guaged, the heaviest steel
with grade OF not exceeding one and
one half per cent. He said also that if
Greeneville will take 500, 600 he would
guarantee Mr.. Patterson would have
trains running into Brevard in eigh-
teen months, and that within two and
half years a passenger could take
breakfast in Greeneville and dinner in
Knoxville. The present rail distance
between the two cities is about 2SO
miles and this will be reduced by 10C
miles by the new road.

IMPROVEMENTS
ARE PLANNED
President Hart and Oficere
Coming in Privaie Car.
WILL CONSIDER CHANGES
Officials will Make a Personal In
spection of the Route Through
the Smokes Through which it
is Proposed to Extend the Ten
nessee and North Carolina Road.

. With the approach of spring railroad
talk increases and the effort to put a
road bed through the Smokes is at
tracking the attention of the people
living in this section. From all indi-
cations, three separate and distinct
companies are fighting for the owner
ship of the pass through the noun
tains. The Tennessee and North Caro-
lima road apparently has the whip
hand, while the Knoxville and Greene
Vile and the Transcontential roads are
still putting up fight. 1t is most
likely that one of the two lines, most
likely the Knoxville and Greeneville
will finally become affiliated with the
Tennessee and North Carolina COM
pany, but in the meantime every ad-
vantage seems to lie with this last
named company.
1t is said that President Hart and
other officials of the Tennessee and
North Carolina road will pay Newport
visit about April 10, coming in pri-
vate car. This cal will be taken over
the line of the road, and sidetracked at
Waterville and then it is proposed that
a the entire party ride through the
mountain pass over the proposed line
of extension to Canton, N. G., the OBJ
jective point of the extension. The
grade work done by the two crews
which have been at work for some time
will enable the party to get through
the mountains on horseback.
The Tennessee and North Carolina
road has over one half the right Of
ways on the 35 mile stretch from
Waterville to Canton.
The coming of the president Of the
company, the other officials revives the
rumor that radical Improvements are
to be made in the operating of the road
1t ii said that two trips per day will be
made to Crestmont, and that a mai
service will be inaugurated.
A petition has been circulated and
frequently signed asking the postoffice
department to establish postoffices at
Wilton, Bluffton, Hartford and other
points along the line. Such service
would enable the people living in the
Cosby and Grassy Fork section as wei
as along the Tennessee and North
Carolina road to receive mail day
earlier than at present.

MAT WEARING AND pRAuaHTs.

Draughts in parliament are cred ited with partial responsibility for members custom of wearing their hats, which some, however, have even regarded as inherited from the old open air meets. But privilege and tradition are factors, also. When IA years ago it was proposed at the London county council to start hat wearing because of the draughts at Spring Gardens, the council decided not to "ape the manners of parlia- ment." Lord Onslow nobly declined to make party question of Ca nat ural infrmity like bald head" For merly fear of draughts led to the wearing of hats even at dinner, though it was good manners not to put on your hat until your host did.

DESTRUCTIVE NAPOLEON.

He was destructive by character and custom, He stuck his paper knife into the costly chairs that were provided for him everywhere. He wasted huge quantities of paper Whenever he took up anything that was frail or finely worked he was quite certain to demolish it or dam age it before he put it down. He pulled up the choicest plants in the hothouses, and, when he could do it without being seen, he used to shoot Josephine's rare birds.
 One day the emperor shot out one of the eyes of Messena, the duke of Rivoli, but nothing was said of it. Berthier took the blame for it, prob ably because he was master of the nt.--Kielland's "Napoleon's Men and Methods"

DePEw ALMOST FORGOT VOTE
New York's Senior Senator, However, Did Not Ask for Help In
 Marking Ballot.

Chauneey NJ. Depew, New York's senior United States senator, whose health recently has been matter of concern to his friends, almost for got to vote at the recent election. When he found his way into the polling place, 984 Sixth avenue, sev- eral of those in the place yied with one another in showing Depew the way to booth.
 He was in the booth less than a minute. When he emerged he stood moment, as if irresolute, then started for the door. With his bal lot clutched in his hand, he walked past the clerk stationed at the ballot box. The clerk spoke, but the sena-, tor, who had his eye fixed on the door, apparently did not hear. He kept straight on.
 A chorus was raised, and Depew halted and looked confused. He gave a start, turned around, then his face broke into a smile.
 "Ah 1 see" he said, retracing his steps.
 After putting his vote in the box the senator got out of the place with out further misadyenture.
 In spite of his momentary lapse, it is thought by his friends the sena- tor voted as he intended. He did not ask for assistance in marking his ballot.

SLIPPERS OF FUR, NOT GLASS
cindereIIa's Footsear Transformed by the Mistake of Perrault Who
 Wrote Out the Fairy Tale.

When Perrault in the seventeenth century was writing his fairy tales 10 amuse the courtiers of France, he had recourse to the old French chronicles. Then he read that Cin- derella, or whatever her name was in those days, went to the ball in slippers of "yair,D the royal fur of that time miniver, as it is now known. Perrault, misreading the text. decked out his heroine in slip pers of ycrre (glass), a very different thing. The real Cinderella probably went to the dance in those pointed, cIrving. fur-bordered shoes of medi- eval days. But, thanks to Perrault, she will trip down the corridors of time in her little clattering glass slippers.
