NEW HAVEN'S PLANS.

Improvements in Vermont viii Be De-
layed-Meanine of the Rutland Pur-
chase.
1t is semi officially stated here says a
despatch from New Haven, that owing 10
the acquisition of one-half control of the
Rutland railroad system being so recent
and the facts that the New York Central
will be a partner in the enterprise, plans
must be somewhat deferred for the I'm
provement Of the Rutland system for the
transfer of business from the New Haven
and the Boston & Maine. Early improve
ments on the Rutland line, however, are
looked for, with the large exchange OF
business from the Boston and Maine
which is expected to go and come by the
way OF st. Johnsbury, Rutland, Burling-
ton, and Rouses Point, and with con-
siderable increase in the westward bust
ness via Ogdensburg and the Great
Lakes the use of the Rutland's boats.
1t is regarded in railroad circles here
that the proposed parallels between
South Vernon and Brattleboro and Wind
sor and White River Junction will b'
somewhat delayed.

THIS CAT MAILS LETTERS
FOR IT'S OWNER

Tarrytown, n. Y, Sept. 25.-Dr. w.
B. Moorehou8e owns remarkable
cat which for some time has been
acting as letter carrier The doctor
has many letters to mail and, like
the average man, his memory is weak
in this respect and letters sometimes
have remained in his pocket for days,
instead of being placed in the letter
box.
The doctor decided to teach his cat
to carry the letters to the box and be
relieved of responsibility. This was
easy, for all the cat had to do was
walk across the street climb a pole
push out the lid with her paw. and
drop in the letter. This morning the
cat did the cleverest trick yet. h. The
dovtor gave her a letter to mail and
sent her out to the box. In few min
utes she returned with the letter still
in her mouth. The doctor had forgot.
ten to place stamp on it. The ca
noticed the omission and brought thu
letter back to her master. j.

RACE FOR GOVERNOR is
GOING TO BE SPIRITED
Joe Browns Entry is Causing
Speculation

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 25-There is
politics in plenty in Atlanta today, and
the air is filled with all sorts of rum
ors and counter rumors regarding the
doings of the three entrants in the
gubernatorial marathon. Everything
was more or less serene until the an>
nouncement of the candidacy of ex-
Governor Jos. Brown set the polite
ians by the ears yesterday morning.
Governor Brown decided to shy his
castor into the arena some time ago
but it was not until yesterday that Il
became known with any degree oi
certainty that he intended to enter the
race for the governorship.
The announcement, which was made
in the newspapers of Sunday morning
created no end of comment, and it was
generally conceded that the chances
of Judge Russell were materially
weakened by Joe Browns decision 70
divide the local option vote of the
state.
Supporters of Pope Brown claim
that all that was necessary to insure
the election of their candidate was the
precipitation of ICE Brown into the
melee, for with two local option can
didates in the field the vote may be d.
vided between them.
In making his announcement, Ex-
Governor Brown says that he will ard
emily oppose any alteration of the
present prohibition laws of Georgia,
and will be against any legislation
that is intended to either strengthen or
weaken it. This means that he will
veto the Tippins bill in the event 0i
the passage OF that measure by the
next general assembly of Georgia.
Judge Russell has refused so far tC
make any sort of statement regard
ing the candidacy of Joe Brown. He
was told Saturday night that the form
er governor would announce Sunday
but said 81 have nothing to say as yet
| will wait until | see that announce.

GREAT HOST is COMING
IN OCTOBER TO GEORGIA
Governors of Six States In
Atlanta

Atlanta, Sept 25.-Governors of
states with their military STATS, and
at least twenty-five different military
commands from the East and South,
will form an imposing array at the
coming unveiling of the Gate City
Guard monument here on Oct 10.
All of these have accepted the invi-
tations from the Gate City Guard and
are coming for stay of three days
in Atlanta, during which an interest
ing military programme will be pre-
sented. Others are still to be heard
from, and it is likely the rank win
be still further swelled.
More than this, there will be among
the participants in the exercises sOme
25000 school children, thousands Of
students from the colleges and schools
in and around Atlanta, and visitors
from all over Georgia and other parts
of the South.
With these, the Governors and the
military in the line of march, there viii
be presented one of the largest and
most imposing pageants ever seen in
this section.
In the hands of school children, stu
dents and others will be placed 10000
waving, fiuttering fiags-a splendid
welcome to the visiting troops and Of
ficials.
The Governors who will come with
their military aides are Cows. Foss, of
Massachusetts, Baldwin of Connecti-
cut, Dix of New York, Tener of Penn
sylvania, Crothers of Maryland and
Smith of Georgia. Gov. Smith will re-
ceive and entertain the visiting gov
ernors.
In addition to these it is hoped TO
secure the presence of Theodore
Roosevelt. President Taft had to de-
cline on account of his Western trip.
and it is by no means certain that Mr..
Roosevelt will come.
! The military organizations, many IF
them famous, which have accepted,
include the following besides the Geor
gia troops:
Boston Light Infantry, of Boston.
Mass.
Ancient and Honorable Artillery. of
Boston, Mass.
First Company, Governors Foot

the French battleship Liberte early
this afternoon when an incipient blaze
grew into sweeping flames and ate
their way into the fighting vessels

Terrific explosions that followed

Most of the death toll is confined to
the Liberties roster but men and Off
GERS of other French ships lying ut

they went to the rescue of the doomed
Liberties assistance.
Pieces of armor plate passing
through the air amid corpses of
stricken sailors, struck sister vessels
of the Liberte. The Republic, hit by
a flying fragment, was forced to hur-
ry to the docks for repairs.
The disaster to the Liberte is a
startling. climax to long series o.
accidents in the French navy.
The latest estimate this afternoon
places the number of missing from the
Liberte at $50 To these must be add
