HOW JOHNNY SUMMED 1T

Albany about his system of weekly

I'm these reports" he said, 81
tell my constituents what legisla-

II think such reports are neces-

average citizen, you know, is in

the cynical eye of little Johnny
Jones.
Johnny said his teacher, If

JUST FIFTY YEARS AGO
THE CIVIL WAR BEGAN
With the Fort Sumpter Fight
One Survivor Remains to
Celebrate Event.

New York, April 12.-Claiming
to be the only survivor of the Fort
Sumpter fight, which opened the
Civil war, so years ago to-day. Cen
eral Roger Atkinson Pryor, aged SO,
distinguished soldier and lawyer, to-
day observed the anniversary by en-
pertaining a number of war vete-
rams. A speech delivered by Gen
eral Pryor in Charleston resulted in
the ultimatum being sent to Major
Anderson.
Just so years ago on the 18th of
April, 1861, the American Civil war
began. At 4:3O o'clock on the
morning of that day. the Confeder-
ate shore batteries at Charleston,
S. c., opened fire upon Fort Sump-
ter, one of the forts located in the
great harbor at that point. Thirty
six hours later, after those batteries
had fired 1851 shot and $50 shells
at the walls of the fort, the little
garrison, under Major Anderson,
gave up the unequal contest and
surrendered. On the morning of
the 14th Major Anderson and his
command-less than 100 men
marched out of the fort with hon
ors of war, and embarked for New
York.
Thus the greatest and bloodiest
of modern wars-a war in which
some three million men were under
arms, and in which 100000 or
Whereabouts were either killed out
right or died of wounds or disease
was precipitated.
A half century has suffered to
heal the wounds that were raw and
bleeding, when the war closed, and
now the bitterness of the conflict
has been forgotten. Now it is pa
thetically amusing to read the i'm
passioned and biased stories of the
battles of the rebellion that were
written while the war was in pro-
gress or Immediately after its close.

New York, April 14.-"Stupid
four-fiusher," absolute fool" "pur-
veyor of balderdash," clumsy, COM
mon and vulgar meddler," are a few
of the epithets which some of the
women critics of Col. Roosevelt
here have applied to him, caused by
the Roosevelt dictum that mar
riages of less than four children are
sterile, and are common to promi-
nent women of New York.
Those contributing to these choice
and caustic remarks were Mrs.
Isaac L. Rice, president of the So
ciety for SURPRISING Unnecessary
Noise; Mrs. Marcia Townsend, treas
urer of the Womans Political Nm

Mrs. Townsend said that if she

A BOYS
GARB UPON GIRL
After Her Hair Had Been
Cut Off.
PHYSICAL CULTURE DOCTOR"
Is Held In $4,000 Bail After
Shocking Story Had
Been Told.
KEPT IN CLOSE sUBJEcrIoN

Atlantic City, N. j., April IA
The girl who was found living in
boys's clothing with CDR" Frank M.
Glrard, alleged professor of physi-
cal culture, in a small tent on the
beach here, turned out to-day to be
Miss Catherine Potter, 23 years old,
daughter of Mrs. A. Potter, wild
ow, of Sandy Lake, Penn, and sis
ter of s. E. Potter, head of prom
inent manufacturing concern of
Chicago.
The girl was found as a result of
a letter she wrote to her mother on
paper bag.
Girard was held by Magistrate
Grove to-day in $4,000 bail after
the girls shocking story had been
told in Court.
The girl said she fell into the
clutches of Girard when she ans
wered an advertisement telling how
thin women could be developed by
his method of physical culture.
Girard, she said. induced her to
come to Atlantic City on March g..
He met her at the station. and, ac-
cording to her story, he was so elo-
quent over his method of develop
ment that she gladly consented to
undertake a course of treatment.
She remained only two weeks and
then fed Her money carried her
only to Jamesburg, N. j., where Gil
rard overlook her and brought her
back. Then he cut her hair off and
compelled the girl to wear boys
clothing. Thereafter, she said, he
kept her in subsection by threaten
ing to do her bodily harm.
After repeated attempts to es-
cape, she finally wrote a note to
her mother on a paper bag and had
it mailed. The family had been
searching for the. girl ever since she
left and had concluded she was
dead.
Girard, the police say, admitted
the truth of the girls story. In let
tiers found in his possession it APP
pears he has been masquerading
under various aliasas. Several hun
bred letters from other young wo-
men desiring better development of
figure were found in his possession.
