WHEN HAMMOND WAS "BRoKE,

Washington Dispatch to the New York
 World.
 John Hays Hammond and Frank Mill let, the artist, dropped into the Press club in Washington one night and joined a story telling group. Some weird tales of reportorial hard luck were recounted and finally Mllet said:
 John, I'll bet you $10 you were never broke in your life.'
 You don't know what you're talking about" replied the mining engineer and special ambassador. Why, I've been up against it hard. One time I got stranded in Paris on my way back from South Africa I had $1.50 in my pocket, and for the life of me I couldn't tell where could get meal in Paris for that.'

After Twenty Years


 Birmingham has Atlanta outelassed when it comes to being prettier, bet ter laid out city in regard to streets, and it is certainly some town,'" said Judge R. l.. Simmons of North Carolina, who is here to act as judge of the Ala bama Poultry association show now in progress. Tt is no more like itself 20 years ago than grown man is like the naughty boy he was once upon time
 T was here in 1891, exactly 20 years ago. and if the conductor on the train hadn't called out the name and I didn't know where I was going, I wouldn't have recognized the town at all The citizens must have made every year of that 20 count for something in the up- building of this metropolis, for I have never witnessed such complete alter ation in a city as is shown here.
 Tn my judgment, Birmingham is far ahead of Atlanta, and I know more about the latter place from my several visits there. I haven't had the oppor- tunity of visiting the local industrial plants here, but can see from the peo- pie on the streets and general air of hustle that this is one of the leading cities of the southland.
 s"The Poultry show, which is an ex- cellent one, I understand, was arranged for within 40 days, but I was not sur prised when I realized that I was in Birmingham where such things are done often. l engineered the first poultry Oi n (ya ,1 have been at it ever since, so I can ap- preciate the amount of work necessary for the preparation of an exhibit.
 Tn general appearance of the streets, Birmingham reminds me of my home town, Charlotte, N. e. so of course it is doubly admirable from my viewpoint"

OF M|RTH
ARE BURNED
BUILDINGS IN OlENTANGY PARK,
NEAR COLUMBUS, OHIO, ARE
DESTROYED.

Columbus. Ohio, July 16.-Seycn
buildings which housed places Of
amusement were destroyed and 1000
persons were thrown into a panic to-
night by a fire In Olentangy park, a
summer resort The fire-swept dis
trict extended over an area about the
size of city block. The park Is
located at the extreme north end OF
the city.
Several persons were injured In the
panic, but 1t is not believed that any
fatalities resulted.
Defective wiring in one Of the build
ings is believed to have been the
cause, inflammable material feeding
the flames and causing them to
spread with great rapidity.
Only a few persons, 1t is said, were
in any OF the places when the fire
broke out, and all of these were ac'
counted for.
No estimate Of the fire loss could .be
obtained tonight, but 1t Is said tina
all the property was uninsured.

The battle will be fought near Card

night July Is and midnight July 90
1t has been the contention of many
naval experts that 1t Is impossible for
powerful fleet to reach New Yorl;
by way OF the eastern end Of Long
Island, and "thc battle of Gardner's
bay" will, therefore, be watched with
great interest. Conditions Of actual
, naval warfare will be closely simu,

lie mind but the discipline Of quaran-
tine effect which the public Is largely
dependent for its health and safety"
In his letter to Judge Bulger Mr.
Dushkind relates some testimony taken
at the commissions hearing and bases
his contention that DR. Doty should be
relieved from duty largely upon the
fact that Charles Leavitt, a carpenter
employed at Hoffman island. and four
other employees were permitted to leave
their posts and attend the hearings.
Mr.. Dushkind asserts that he fears
possible infection might result from
such practice.
DR.. Doty covers the point raised by
Mr. Dushkind with the declaration that
employees at Hoffman island came In
contact only with persons held under
observation and not with actual suf-
fcrers from cholera, who are removed,
he says, to the Swinburne island hos
pital as soon as they become Ill.
Mr.. Dushkind also calls attention to
the development of a number of cases
of cholera at quarantine, as he alleges,
several days after the period of in
cubation had expired" as further rea-
sons for viewing the situation as
alarming and calling for the neces-
! sity of bringing 1t to the governors at
tention.

the Rocky mountains to the Allan
tic coast. West of the Rockies
temperatures will average near or
above the normal, with generally
fair weather. except that occasional
showers are probable In the south
