The draw is nearly as bad a tangle as
last year. for America is not likely to
go to the Cape to play South Africa, nor
will South Africa come here or go to
England to meet America. 1t would not
be bad arrangement for America and
South Africa to meet in England. where
the preliminary and semi-final could be
played, the winner to go on to Australia.
The situation Is a bad one. and 1t looks
as If America. England and South Africa
would have to go to Australia for the

yet, in the opinion of his teammates,
there is no stronger man on the team.
Some of the big men have attempted

BARNEY MARION
May GET MONEY
Once Poor Mississippi Boy Likely to
Receive Liberal Fortune for Pat
ent on Semaphore.

jackson, Miss, May 5.-Articles of |
agreement were filed in the United |
States circuit court yesterday which |
disposed of an action which has been
pending before that body for the past |
four years. and as a result of which it |
is believed that Barney Marion, once
poor Mississippi boy, will receive a
| liberal fortune for the invention of a
patent semaphore now being used by
the Illinois Central railroad system.
The suit, which was filed by Marion in
1907 against the Illinois Central rail
road, demanded SIC, 900 damages for in
Engagements upon the rights granted
to Marion in patent letters issued by
the government several years ago.
Just what the amount of the settle
ment was is not stated in the agree
ment for the disposal of the case, but
it is rumored that Marion received
several thousand dollars and the rail-
road agreed to pay the costs of the
action thus far. The Marion patent
will be used by the l. c., Y. & M. v.
and kindred lines in the future without
fear of prosecution.
. The story connected with the rise
of Barney Marion is one that is well
p known to every railroad in the state
of Mississippi 1t is the old story of
:, the rise of poor boy through earnest
application to his labors to a position
of trust and respect by the officials OF
4 his road. From the most difficult OF
, laboring tasks, Marion pursued his eff
forts to serve his employers we'll with
Il such absolute sincerity that he was
promoted from position to position un
til he was made, about six years ago
= supervisor of the road work on all tht
Illinois Central lines between New Or
! leans and Memphis. 1t was while il
y. this capacity that his inventive geniu
n. was fully developed and he created
O new semaphore system, which wa
" adopted by the Illinois Central peopl
&c without his consent. They never pai
IN him for the use of his patented ide
N and when the time came for him t
q abandon the railroad field, they mad
c no effort to purchase the patent right
- from him.
@ Marion is now said to be resider
c of the gulf coast district and it is pr
il dicted that the agreement of yeste
re day places him in a position.to reali2

London, May 5.-The Fedora
ton of French industry and
Commerce has issued a note to its
members on the consequence of the
adoption of the proposed reciprocity
agreement between the United States
and Canada. This agreement, the
communication says, have but little
effect on the commerce of France with
Canada. as France has the position of
the most favored nation for articles
which cover practically all her exports.
As regards commercial relations be-
tween France and the United States,
the effect will be far greater. In many
instances French trade with the Unit
ed States will suffer, because many
things which Canada and France both
supply to the United States will be
bought from Canada in greater quaint
ties to avoid the French duty.

Domestic servants have become so
scarce in Germany that they have been
able to dictate almost any terms to
their employers. The dearth of SER
wants is due largely to Germany's in
dustrial prosperity, which creates a
great demand for female labor in all
branches of commerce and manufac-
ture. The servant problem is scarcely
less acute in Scandinavian countries.
Domestics in Denmark, Norway and
Sweden have started an organization
with offices at Copenhagen, Christiana
and Stockholm. Among the demands
, they make are: The suppression of
night work; night out from five
o'clock every week and Sunday from
| 10 in the morning or extra pay; com.
Portable rooms with plenty of sunlight
| for the servants and the care of not
too many children. The mistresses in
these countries are preparing to unite
for the protection of their own inter
ests.
