SOUTHERN POINT OF NATION

The most southern point OF main
land territory in the United States is
on a sharp bend OF the Rio Grande
river about 20 miles southwest OF
Brownsville. The government official
survey shows that its latitude is 25
degrees and 8 minutes, which places Vt
below the most southern part OF the
peninsula OF Florida, but not as far
south as Key West The spot is
marked by a group of picturesque
Mexican ranch buildings with their
thatched roofs. Growing upon the
land are groves of wild palm trees
which lend to the beauty OF the trop-
ical scene. The distance between
Brownsville and the mouth OF the Rio
Grande in direct line is approximate
ly 22 miles, but the river has so many
curvatures that its course between the
two points covers 1i0 miles, accord
ing to the survey of the international
boundary commission, which is COM
posed OF the representatives. OF the
: United States and Mexican govern
ments. Before the river empueS into
the gulf 1t makes a sharp bend to
the south, and this rounded peninsula
forms the most southern mainland or
the country. Most of the territory
between Brownsville and the Rio
Grande's mouth is covered by dense
wilderness OF chapaTral. The soil is
OF primitive richness, caused by the
periodical deposits OF silt from the
streams overflow Owing TO the in
accessibility of the little Mexican
ranch, which holds the distinction OF
marking the most southern spot. the
place has been visited by very few
Americans.

MULE AND BEAR FIGHT DUEL

The story Of a duel to the death
between a mule and q bear comes
from Chambersburg, Pa. The mule
came out victorious. Aroused by a
commotion in his barn, Dan Shswley,
lumberman and farmer, found the
bear in combat with his pet mule.
Contrary to the established custom
the mule was using his front feet in
the battle and peppering bruin regu-
lar tatto over the head. One savage
slap by the mule broke one OF the
bears front legs and the bulky animal
fell PROSTATE. Then the mule re-
veTsed himself and let loose the death
dealing assault from his hind quar-
teTs. The bear died shortly after
Shawley reached the scene. 1t weighed
262 pounds and showed the marks OF
eight bullet puhctures.

MONTCLAIR'S OFFICIAL
 BIRD SLAYER IS FINED
 $1OO BY THE CITY COURT

Montclair, N J., Aug 31-Peter Stevens a negro, in the employ Of the Montclair Street Department, was ar rested here yesterday on a warrant sworn out by State Games Warden Frederick c. Hall, charging him with killing song birds in Montclair On the night of Thursday. Aug. 17. Stevens was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Cadmus of Bloomfield, who fFnB- ed him s1O0. Stevens admitted shoot ing five starlings.
 sNothing was said at the hearing about the shooting of robins, but the Game Warden's remark We are not yet through with Montclair," was talk en as an indication there would bs more arrests because of the slaughter of the birds.
 Y It is probable the State Game and Fish Commission will cause the arrssr of Stevens on a charge of killing roo- ins, and that Chief Forester AndersOn of the Montclair Shade Tree Comrnis- sions whose name was signed to the permit which Stevens displayed as h1s authority for shooting the birds. will be arraigned also when he returns from his vacation. Mir. Anderson ls expected to return on Friday.
 Stevens fine,s it is said, will be paid by Montclair officials. so that the man, who is looked upon the scaps- goat of the affair, will not have % go to jail.

hardly attempt to clear the basin of mud and water as the plan was ori- ginally announced. The aft part of the wreck which suffered little from the explosion, the ship being liter ally cut in two, will have to be float ed and to do this all the bulkheads must be made absolutely secure.
 That portion of the wreck can be towed to an American port and the people. who will spend close to a mill lion dollars in raising it, may be giv- en an opportunity to view what re- mains of the, fll-fated vessel
 The forward part of the ship is nothing but junk, even to the bottom plates. not even a small connection holding the bow to the after part. The destruction was so complete that it is difficult to identify many of the pieces, even though the naval con- strlIctor here has a model of the ori- ginal ship with which to compare the pieces There is no chance to find any of the remains of those who were in this part of. the ship, as they have undoubtedly been swept away with the tides and storms of years.
 Much mud and wrecl<age remain in the hold of the after part of the ship, and this is being removed, the water tight compartments enabling the worl1men to go below the present wa ter surface. Many of those engaged on the work think the wreck will be lowed to some American port, even to the Canal Exposition at San Francisco. The raising of the Maine, at least, the expensive manner in which the work is being done, is the result of the sen- timents of American people and it is not thought that the people will per- init the wreck being taken out to deep water and sunk before they have had a chance to see it.

New Company Is Selling Now For
 SeaIshipt Trust

New Haven, Aug 31.-The pro- ducers' Sales company of Boston IS now handling products of the Seal- shipt system. The new company has taken over contracts of every. .i kind and nature heretofore in force with the Sealshipt system. and it will handle the Sealshiptors and similar appliances for the Sealshipt.
 The Producers Sales Company was organized recently to do business in all states of the union. 1t will han dle the products of any oyster pro- ducer willing to stand for it even outside the Sealshipt. The buying for the Cudahy Packing Co.'S oyster branches throughout the west is also in the hands of this company.
 Although the Sealshipt systemshas several establishments in this city and owns numerous beds off the coast the Producers Sales Co.,, is not to have an office here. Such was the statement made at one of the Seal shipt plants here.
 The Sealshipt system has announc- ed recently that its extensive offices at South Norwalk have been closed and all it's forces concentrated in Bos- ton. where it's headquarters are at 40 Central street. A prediction made by The Tim some months ago to the effect that South Norwalk would be abandoned as Sealshipt headquarters was vigorously denied at the time, but the results have work ed out exactly according to the pre- Ciction

TOWN REPRESENTATIVE A Complaint From Vermont That
 Sounds Familiar.
(St. Albans Messenger. }

The defeat of the employers lia- bility and workingmen's compensa- ton bill. yesterday. in the Connecti- cut house of representatives is f1atly declared in the reports of the session to have been due to the members from the small towns. It is in order to ask who owns the small town members. Progress in reform leg isilation over the border is blocked or made difficult at every turn by the unrepresentative system of small town dominion which the constitution fas- tens upon the state.- Springfield Re- publican.
 Vermont goes through just such discouraging experiences as this at every session of the legislature. There are still .demagogues that strike to defeat reform by appealing to the small-town prejudice, and there are still ignorant men that believe they are right.
 If this is, indeed. a popular gov ernment, if it is truly a government of the people, by the people for the people," it would be government controlled by the majority of the people that live under it-head by head soul by soul, no matter Wheth- CT they live in one town or 100. $, Towns vote in Vermont, not human beings Is this the Republican form of government, guaranteed by the constitution of the United States Some day this proposition will come home to roost and we shall have political revolution.

THE PRINCE OF WALES
His Duties as Mfdshipman Not Very
 ArduOus

Weymouth, England. = Theoretica ally, as a midshipman aboard the warsnlp Hindustan, the Prince of Wales en- joys no privileges and escapes no du- ties which are not enjoyed and es- capped by all other midshtp tpmen in the British naval service. But unofficial and confidential accounts from his Royal Highness' shfpmates indicate that in actual practice the regulations are not very strictly enforced in the Kings sons case.8 AhF
 - For instance, one of the first things that the ordiiary midshfpman has to do Is to assist at coalng. It has been noticed that. though the Prince of Wales locks on when coaling is in progress, he does not actually take a hand at it, the job being presumably considered too dirty and tiring for royalty. Other midshipmen also put in considerable, time "greasing", as their engine room instruction is known The Prince of Wales is ire quently seen in the engine room, mot doing much, as one commentator puts it, s'but probably observing good deal.'' The Princes hammock be- longs in the 'tgun room flats but the Prince doesn't sling it. The ships boys are always proud to do it for him. The Prince tips Hberally too. which may have something to do with their willingness
 The Princes mess includes the other midshipmen, the assistant pay master, the engineering b-lieutenant and one or two sub-lieutenarts who rule the little community. These sub heutenants can make it very disagree able for their subordinates if they choose, but it is not on record that any disposition has been shown to 'shaze' his Royal Hghness. The Prince can rum a small wine bill if he likes, but the privilege is of no use to him, since the King and Queen have brought all their children up as total abstainers.
 One of the young mans especial du- ties is stok command the boats occa- sionauy sent ashore when the Hindu stan is in harbor. It is not hard work, it furnishes pleasant variety to seafaring life and it gives the Prince a good chance to show himself, which his father is very anxious to hive tdm do in order that his people may be thoroughly acquainted with him when he comes to the throne.
