THE LOT SALE.

The government lot sale, barome- ter on conditions here at tlis time, proves the absolute confidence of the public in the future of Hot Springs as great health and pleasure resort.
 The appraisements were high, re xardless of statements circulated 10 3he contrary, and the people are bidding higher than the appraisements whenever the lots are desired
 Much Of the property offered in this sale is badly situated. The question of square feet isn't all to be taken m view. and our ople are familiar with the locations Of these lots. Some of them remind one of Bill Yves pumpkin patch. where the pumpkins had to De tied to posts to keep t1em from rolling away.
 The fact that e lots are sold on spot cash basls. and that only those can buy who have the cash, removes large clientele from the field Of buyers.
 Hot Springs has a certain and fixed future. It will be the worlds great est sanitarium in time, and nobody appreciates that fact more than our own people, but they nave been through a stress o. adverse clrcum stances and they must crawl before they can walk.
 Our own population has furnished about nine tenths of the buyers lp to date, and Is probably depended on for the sale of the remainder of the property.

Maryland Birds Vanquish
North Carolina Rivals.

Maryland and North Carolina game
birds fought seven desperate battles in
one Of the Virginia counties near Wash
ington Saturday night and it took seven
fights before the main was decided in
favor Of the Maryland cocks. Nearly 800
lovers of the feathered tribe sport con-
gregated around the improvised pit and
considerable money changed hands on
each fight and ON the general result. The
principals in the contest placed side
bet of $500 on the result of the main
and $50 on each fight Everything was
conducted in an orderly manner. and in
the audience were observed some of
Washngton's leading business and pro-
fessional men.
The first fight was between top weight
six-pOund chickens. North Carolina
showed a blue red and Maryland a brown
red. The cocks went off in An indiffer-
ent manner. but quickly got ~ going, and
for several pittings mixed 1t up in great
shape. The blue cock disabled the Mary
land bird. and it was only a matter of
time before the latter was put completely
out. AS a curtain-raiser the fight served
to put the crowd in a proper mood for
the sport to follw. There was heavy
betting in the opener. both sides having
great confidence in their birds. and the
Maryland sports lost a bundle of coin, as
the brown red did not have n chance at
any stage Of the game.

one OF the most daring OF EnSllSn
was Jack Sheppard whose
career of adventure set all England talk
ing during the early part of the last
century. His fame was populariZed by
painting by the artist Thornhill: in
pantomimes, in a history written by Dam
iel Defoe, and through a novel written
by Ainsworth some years after the out
laws death
Sheppard had short life. being only
twenty-five at the time of his death. He
took his rank as an outlaw when he was
eighteen. but in this brief period OF four
years he had adventures enough to fill
volumes, made two remarkable escapes
from NewEate prison. and was finally
captured in IN alehouse while drunk. and
was speedily executed at Tyburn.
That he was not wholly obiivious OF
gallantry is evident in the story told Of
his haltinc of a coach upon one Occa-
sion. on Hounslow Heath, England. in
which a lady waS seated Thoroughly
frightened. the lady inquired from the
window what he wanted. and upon being
told in a most gallant way, only the

ceeded to go through a stately dance with
her then and there in the dust of the
road At its finish he handed her back

Editor Tie Washington HcraId.

i~1iu' 'hs washington HERALD.
In The Washington Herald OF January
, under the caption. "Ordeals Endured
in Latin America" Rev. Mr. Thomas
OToole makes several statements against
the Catholic Church and the priesthood
of South America. With regard to mis-
assertions concerning the work and prog
ress of the Catholic Church in South
America. We consider attention unneces-
sary. for inasrnuch these assertions
stand AT right angles with the unanimous
testimony of unbiased authorities Mr.
O'Toote's unsupported statements are dis
counted
The gentleman makes one damaging
charge. however. namely. that on various
occasions his life has been threatened
by Roman Catholic missionaries merely
on account or religious beliefs" Mr..
O"Toole has since added to this statement
that only the intervention of Proyi-
dence' prevented these missionaries from
carrying out their alleged threats.
Mr. OToole is doubtless aware that
iiir play Is pre-eminently a character
lStc OF the American people and that in
all the courts Of our land the widest
range Is Invariably given to accused per-
sons to produce evidence in disproof of

however. falls upon the accuser, who is
bound to submit reliable and convincing
proofs before the accused person Or per-
sons may be tried.
Rev. Mr.. O'Toole's statements are not
supported by specific names or refer
ences. but for this very reason they cast
a cloud upon the character of the entire
priesthood of South America The Allow
siuS Truth Society Of Washington would
therefore be glad to have Mr.. O'Toole
furnish the full names of the mission
aries who threatened his life, the names
of the religious orders with which they
We're associated. and the time place and
form Of the threats. With this data in
hand. We will use the quickest means
available TO have the charges investi-
gated by absolutely trustworthy and dis
interested officials.
We trust that Mr. O'Toole's sense of
justice and fair play will prompt him to
accept this opportunity of bringing out
the facts. The burden of subStantiatipc
his charges with specific data rests upon
him. and should such data not be forth
coming. the logical deduction will be thar
the charges themselves are without foun-
