DEGENERATES MUST
QUIT ISLAND HOME
Strange People Living Off
Coast Of Manila

Bangor Maine. Aug. 11.-ArOused by
the complaints of summer visitors and
nearby residents in the beautiful town
of Phippsburg, Acknowledgement Pat
tangall has given notice to about 40
degenerates now inhabitating the little
island of Malaga, at the mouth of the
New Meadows river, to vacate the is
land.
Descended from Portuguese sailor
and white woman, these benighted
people, only a mile from the seat of
one of Names leading colleges at
Brunswick, live like sayages, only re-
Gently observing the laws of God and
man. They are composed of negroes,
Portuguese and whites, and, neglected
by mankind, have lived a life under al
most unimaginable conditions.
The old tribal customs still prevail
among these people. They have a king
in John F. Murphy, who is boss Of the
island and the most intelligent and
only self-supporting citizen of Malaga.
He owns a motorbOat and makes a
good living lobster fishing and taking
summer visitors sailing and fishing
These people pay no taxes, observe
no laws and five or six years ago were
so low in the human scale that a local
justice of the peace went over to the
island, shot a half dozen dogs and
married all the couples he could round
up. The death of the dogs caused the
more comment
The days of the week, calendar
dates, peoples ages, definite paternities
these things are unknown quantities
among the Malagaites. They live in
novels that, for lack of sanitation, are
almost incOnceivable. With one Of
two exceptions the shacks have dirt
floors and a single room. Here men
women and children, blacks and white
cats and dogs, to say nothing of Other
crawling things, live and have theil
being.
There are more dogs and goats il
Malaga to the square foot than any
where else in the world, possibly ex'
Cepting ConstantinopIe.

RUSSELL SAGE'S
HUMAN SHIELD DEAD
Man Used By Millionaire as Shelter
Against Boom Dies PennileSS.

New York, August 11.-William R.
Laidlaw who 20 years ago was manned
by a bomb thrown at Russell Sage,
died in the home for incurables, in the
Bronx, where he long had been. An
nouncement was made that Laidlaw
died penniless.
When Henry W. Norcross, of Bos-
ton, hurled a bomb at Sage in his Office
Laidlaw declared that the aged ftnaa-
cier thrust him in front of him so that
he stood the brunt Of the explosion and
thus saevd Sage from injury. Laidlaw,
who was a bookkeeper for Sage, sus-
tanned 1870 wounds from the bursting
bomb and had been an invalid ever
since. He sued Sage in several courts
and once obtained a judgment for $40
600, but a higher court reversed this.
When Laidlaw's funds were exhaust
ed in his suit against Sage, his sisters
supported him, and after Russell
Sage's death they made an appeal TO
Mrs. Sage. The sisters said today that
Mrs. Sage had refused to assist Laid
law and that it became necessary to
send him to the home for incurables
about two weeks ago.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutiOnal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
f the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature

Settlement in Assembly.

1t was mentioned at the meeting
that about 100 members of the general
assembly had already declared them
selves for Governor Wilson, an over
whelming majority of those who would
express themselves as to a choice. and
the opportunity of adding to their
enthusiasm by one of the famous adj
dresses Of Henry Watterson, thus dis
seminating the sentiment throughout
the whole state, should not be over
looked. If he should be invited it
would be for the 18th or 10th of Au-
gust.
Colonel Walter P. Andrews was
made temporary chairman and S. A.
Martin temporary secretary. Talks
We're made by all; but the meeting
was wholly informal, the sentiment be-
ing to get all Wilson supporters in
Georgia to cooperate in one organiza-
ton with the object of persuading
more supporters

TO Have Big Meeting.

The motive for the meeting at the
University club was explained at the
beginning by F. L. Seely. He said that
he considered it an exceptional oppo2-
tunity during the session OF the Iegis-
lature to have a big meeting at the All
ditOrium, to be addressed by Henry
WattersOn, the dean of American jour
.nalism and one of the most ardent adj
yOcates of Governor Wilson for presi-
dent. The legislators would thus be
brought face to face with this enthusi-
assn for Governor Wilson, which is al
ready reaching such significant nation
'al proportions. He told of how state
Wilson clubs had already been organ
lied in Texas, Arkansas and Maryland
and that he felt that it was up to Geor-
.gia as the former home of Governor
Wilson to be in the vanguard of the
Southern states in his support.
The suggestion of securing Henry
Watterson met with much favor of the
others present, but a decision as tc
what should be done was postponed
until Friday when the whole Fifth
congressional district will be repre-
scented, as were all other details. that
whatever was done should be repre-.
sentative
