MISS HOOD is ALIVE
SUPPOSED DEAD, SHE is LIVING
WITH BOGUS LORD.
Gained Fame in 1906 as the Last of
the Victims of Lord Percy Sholto
Douglas"

Mourned as one dead because she
was supposed to have been murdered
by John C.. Cavendlsh, alias Lord
Percy Sholto Douglas" Josephine
Hood, a member of one Of the lead
ing families of Asheville, N. c., who
became a victim of the wiles of the
progressing Englishman, by GER
emony of marriage, Dec. 16, 1906, at
Lake Charles, La, has broken the ST.
lence of years by writing to an aunt
in her home town.
In her letter she cites some circum-
stances OF adventure Detailing her In
company with the bogus lord, to
which she seems bound by hypnotic
spell, since she declares her belief in
his uprightness and that she Is happy
and Is cared for in luxurious style.
She carefully refrains from telling
her present address.
The letter was mailed on train
going west from New Orleans. Mrs.
Cavendish tells Of trips around the
world, of 20 transatlantic voyages,
of visits to Europe, Asia and Africa.
She mentions many gifts OF jewels
from her husband and his lavish ex-
penditures which suggest that Caven-
dish may be an international gambler.
Cavendish was notorious as big
amist at the time Of his marriage
with Miss Hood, and she Is believed
to be his ninth wife. The present
Mrs. Cavendish does not indicate that
she knows OF his earlier marriages,
but does say plainly that she could
not communicate before or return to
her home because Cavendish has
troubles he hopes soon to overcome
and then they will live In Los An
geles.
Cavendish Is said to have married
eight women in as many different
parts OF the United States before he
met Miss Hood. One Of these he
married in Los Angeles, one in Fort
Worth, Tex; one In Norfolk, Va,
one in Georgia, one in Denver, Colo,
one in New Orleans, La, and one in
Ohio. All Of these women are said
to have written to Miss Hoods aunt,
but she has kept no memoranda OF
their names. He soon deserted all Of
them except Miss Hood.

GAIN this YEAR.
MORE MONEY THIS SEASON FOR
CLEMSON COLLEGE.
Fertilizers Tag Tax Receipts Much
Increased-Many New Uses for
Fertilizers.

For 1911 the total income Of Glenn
son College will be considerably lare-
er than in any previous year, and the
prospect is that this income will
steadily increase. at the rate OF $685.
900 or more per annum, being de-
rived from the privilege tax OF 20
cents ton upon artificial fertilizers.
the consumption of which is greater
each succeeding season. The entire
receipts from this tax go to Clemson.
The Columbia Record says Judge
J. Fuller Lyon, who handles the priv
ilege tax account in the Office Of State
Treasurer r. H. Jennings, said Fri
day that to date the 1911 receipts
from this impost had been $227,229,
whereas at this same time last yeai
the receipts totalled only $2O2,rl6.
In Judge Lyons opinion the receipts
for the current year will aggregate
$275, 1000, as against only s240,03S
for 1910, so that the increase in this
one season will in round numbers be
$4,000.
Fertilizers are now in demand the
year round. Formerly they were used
only in the spring. Fertilizers are
put nowadays to variety OF uses not
hitherto known. Quantities are ap-
piled to growing crops. The con-
sumption has been surprisingly In
creased by the corn~growing move
ment and new uses are constantly be-
ing found in various fields OF agricul-
tural work for the different kinds OF
artificial manures. An entirely new
kind OF fertilizer-or rather a famll-
lar kind produced by new process
will come on the market when the
Southern Power company's big plant
at Great Falls begins turning out nj
trogenous fertilizers, derived from
the air by electrical treatment.

Another Washington dispatch says
William Jennings Bryan Thursday
told the committee sent by the cit
liens OF Memphis to invite him TO
make his home in that city that he
could not accept. The invitation was
extended at luncheon given Mr..
Bryan by the committee.
Judge James M. Greer OF Mem
phis, chairman of the committee, as
POSTMASTER presented the Memphis
idea. He was followed by Senators
Gordon OF Tennessee, Representative
Lea and Taylor and Representative
Sisson Of Mississippi and Robinson
Of Arkansas and Duke c. Bowers of
Memphis. They begged Mr. Bryan tn
come where "the people loved him;
where he would find friends"
Mr.. Bowers said he felt sure that
Memphis would easily raise $1,000
900 II that would be any inducement
to Mr.. Bryan to live in his city.
Mr.. Bryan replied that 1t was not
money consideration, and that II
he looked at 1t in that light, he would
not be worthy Of such an invitation.
He said he knew he had friends In
the South who would stand by him
and that was why they did not need
him there; they needed him more in
the North. Suggesting that he should
not be on one edge of the country,
he said, his home at Lincoln is al
most the center OF the country and
only about two days ride to any sec
ton where he might be needed TO
help fight for the cause OF Democracy.

Last season Princeton suffered from a

Fogel. president of the Phillies, agrees
with Garry Hermann. president Of the
Cincinnati club, that a four-trip sched-

ried through successfully on the plans
outlined.
IF such a schedule can be arranged
1t would serve many ends" said Fogel.
The fact that Eastern clubs would get
three more Saturday games at home
and the Western clubs would get sew
eral additional Sundays is quite an
argument in itself, and l hope that the
plan is feasible. Then. too, as Mr.
Hermann says, the shorter trips will
serve to keep up interest in the various
teams. and that alone is sufficient to
make the idea worth discussing, even II
it does not go through"
