BETWEEN 500 AND 500 DEAD.
Isattlcship Liberte, Finest in French
Navy, Blown Up and Sunk.

Toulon, France, Sept. 25.-More
than half Of her crew Of 1913 officers
and men met their death early to-day
when fire broke out in the ammuni-
ton hold of the battleship Liberte,
one of the finest vessels Of the French
navy. The explosion which followed
wrecked the great ship.
The fire was discovered at five
O'Clock. At first it was not thought
serious, but gained headway over
the sailors who were fighting 1t.
Suddenly 1t reached the magazine,
which had not been flooded owing to
the apparent slight blaze. The ex-
plosions were terrific, shaking the
than that preceding. They opened
up great assures in armor and frame
work.
Tho vessel Immediately became a
mass of fire and smoke and soon
sank below Toulon harbor.
AT an early hour unofficial esti-
mates place the number Of dead at
five hundred Estimates by the naval
men vary widely. There Is no doubt
the loss Of life was as high as three
hundred. Scores Of seamen died in
their berths. A few saved them
selves by jumping overheard. Many
of those injured leaped into water
and drowned before other boats in
the roadstead could reach them.
Two hundred of the crew escaped
death, because they were on shore
leave. Commander Jaures was not
aboard. The explosion was without
warning. Scores were hurled high
into the air accompanied by great
fragments Of armor-bursting shells
and binding powder smoke. The
men below were killed in their sleep.
Others, awakened by the explosion,
started to jump overheard and we're
caught by the second detonation.
Many vessels were in the harbor at
the time, including several warships.
A hundred men saved themselves
by jumping. Scores of others would
have escaped but for reid discipline,
which held them at their posts
When awakened and about to throw
themselves overheard an order call
Ing them to their stations rang out.
These men were blown to pieces a
seconds late"
Between three hundred and three
hundred and fifty of the Liberties
crew and about a hundred men from
other warships who were sent to
help extinguish the fire, disappeared.
The Democratic lost twenty dead
and fifty injured. A piece of armor-
plate, blown from the Liberte,
struck cruiser Replique on the port
side with great force, damaging her
plates.

Prisoner Claims White Man PaItici-
patcl in Card Game.

Winnsboro, Sept. 25.-Bill Suber,
the negro who shot and fatally
wounded James p. Bauknight, a
white blacksmith, at Blairs last Sat
urday morning, was brought to
Winnsboro Sunday night in an auto
mobile by Sheriff Hood and lodged in
jail. The negro was captured through
the vigilance Of the sheriff, who fol-
lowed him on this side Of Broad
river, and after crossing the river on
the Newberry side Saturday night,
continued the hunt, and finally To-
Gated him in a body Of woods on
Capt. Hills plantation.
The Prisoners Recital.
The story Of the killing, as related
by the prisoner, which is corroborat-
ed by the other negroes who were
present at the time, and who are the
only eye-witnesses to the difficulty
is substantially as follows: That he,
with a few other negroes, was in the
blacksmith shop of James Bauknight
Saturday morning playing cards with
the latter, and after the game had
been In progress for few hours,
Bauknight lost his whole stake"
and quit the game, leaving the shop.
Suber said he next saw Bauknight at
the door Of the shop, with a pistol
In each hand, calling to each of them
to hold up their hands or he would
shoot and just as he (Suber) was
complying with the order, or before
he could raise his hands up, Bauk-
night commenced firing at him. Four
of the shots struck him, and he then
pulled his pistol from his pocket
while he was on his knees, and while
the white man was still shooting, and
fired twice. Both shots took effect
one striking the calf of the leg and
the other wound, from which Bauk-
night died, after lingering for an
hour, was received in the abdomen

PietrO Mascagni.

Pietro Mascagni, the brilliant COM
poser of the opera "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana,' was born at Leghorn, Italy,
September 7, 1863. His father was
baker and it was his wish that his
son should study law. But Pietro's
sole ambition was to become mu-
stefan. The father soon became re-
conciled to his sons plan Of musical
cultivation and sent him to the fam
Gus Milan Conservative to be edu-
Gated. AS. early as 1881, when only
eighteen years old, Mascagni COM
posed an operetta. His next ventures
were an ave Maria and a "Pater
Noster," which won for him the first
prize in the Milan competitions. But
until the first public performance of
the "Cavalleria Rusticana," the world
at large knew nothing of the bril-
liant young composer. From that
moment, however, his fame spread
throughout the musical world. The
opera has been performed in Italian,
English, French, German and Rus
sian.

KNOCKS FAKE ADVERTISING

Frank Cumnock, who is trying to
organize local" here for the Ma
tional Retail Merchants Association,
has very peculiar and proper ideas
about advertising In the Bartles-
vile (Okla) Examiner of August 20,
he says:
''The merchants of Bartlesville
have joined in with the rest of the
merchants of the state to eliminate
the fake advertising schemes that
have been such burden to the mer-
chants in the past. The oily-tongued
stranger who comes to Bartlesville in
the future, to issue a livery stable
directory, will find little encourage
ment. The man who offers to paint
advertisements on trees or barbWire
fences at so much a letter, will be
thrown over the transom. The Bart
lesville merchants are adopting the
same plan as other cities through
out the state and hereafter spend no
money to have their names painted
on the town COWS, toy balloons or
wood bucks. The movement has
spread all over the entire state, and
the day is at hand when Oklahoma
merchants will adopt advertising
through the safe and sane plan of
doing their advertising through the
local papers 1t is the only way to
get results; it is the only way to
reach and interest the people who
buy things. The people read their
home papers, but they don't read tel
ephone poles, COWS or barbwire fenc-
es. You never yet saw or heard Of
a man, seated by his fireside, reading
board fence or the side of barn
to his family. *
Newspaper advertising is good for
the merchant, good for the town and
good for the newspapers themselves.
The newspapers are entitled to it as
a matter. of justice. They are always
