visit to friends in Bagdad.
The blaze was discovered about 1

June 80 the trust was charging "a

it is obtaining only SITS cents, which

GREATER rHAN PARTY.

What kept party lines drawn sharp
" in this country for a generation was
the civil war For years the republi-
can leaders in the north used the gov
ernment about as they pleased under
the cloak of an appeal to maintain the
union In the south the appeal to
sentiment has been even stronger.
But now the war is a half century
gone and new issues are arising to
which the party leaders have not vet
adjusted themselves So party lines
are fading and party loyalty sits light
" on men Or, as Clifford Pinchot put
it in Chicago last night party has
lost its power because a greater than
party Is here-the issue Of social jus
tice.a
The old pleas for party loyalty won't
do. The only way for the party today
to win the voters is by deserving their
confidence on modern ssues.-Nansas

High PRICES FOR

Other High Priced FASTENERS of Ma

Not Make Good.

Previous to the sale of Marty o.
Toole, pitcher of the st. Paul club, to
Pittsburg for $22,50O in cash and ST.
500 worth of players, the largest price
ever paid for minor league player
by major league club was $4,000,
which Connie Mack of the Philadel-
phia Athletics gave last season to
Baltimore for Lefty Russell, a pitch

Previous to the Russell deal the
highest price was $11, 900, which John
j. McGraw, manager of the New York
Giants, paid to the Indianapolis club
in 1909 for "Rube" Marquard, a pitch
er. When McGraw announced that he
would give that sum for Marquard
many believed 1t huge joke, but the
price was paid and it has taken two
years of careful coaching to make
Marquard worthy of a job on the
Giants staff, while Russell has failed

once asked for waivers on his high

Fred Hunter, first baseman of the
Blues last year, brought $4,000 in

A few years ago John McGraw of
the New York Giants set the baseball
world to thinking when he paid what
was considered a most exhorbitant
price for Spike" Shannon of the st.

BURGLARS APE Quite
BUSY AT PURVle

Burglars entered the postoffice, Jor-
dan C Company's store and Mr..
Weem's store at Purvis last night. 1t
appear they failed to find what they
were looking for, however, and only a
few pairs of shoes were stolen from
the store of Jordan & Company. The
entrance to Mr.. Weems' store was
made through the front window, which
the burglars broke. The officers
were notified and blood hounds put
on the trail of the intruders bu SO
far they have not been caught.
The store of Pylant Brothers at
Purvis was entered week ago, but
nothing was missed. 1t is thought
the burglars were looking for money
and failing to find any let the goods

FIRST CHINESE
CRUISER due
Never Before Has ship Flying Vel
low Dragon Sailed Into Hud-
son Bay.

New York, July ga cruiser fiy-
ing the yellow dragon standard of
China is due to sail into the Hudson
today. and as result all Chinatown is
on tiptoe with excitement. This is
the first time in history that Chinese
warship has visited New York. The
vessel is the cruiser Hal Chi, which
was designated by the Prince Regent
of China as the naval representative
of the Celestial Empire at the Corona
tion of King George and Queen Mary.
Having fulfilled that duty, the ship
is now on the way home.
The Hal Chi will remain here a week
or ten days and her twenty-five officers
viii be entertained by American naval
officers, while the AIS Chinese blue
jackets will be given the time of their
lives by their fellow-countrymen in
this city. Picked birds nests, cats.
tongues and all the other delicacies
dear to the celestial tum-tum have
been prepared in abundance in advance
of the coming of the warriors of the
dragon ship, and there will be some
thing doing every minute in China
town during the stay of the Hal Chi.
In appearance the Hal Chi closely
resembles the American cruisers AL
bany and New Orleans. Her arma.
ments are about equal to those ships,
and like them, she has two tunnels.
The Hal Chi, however, has a displace-
ment of nearly thousand tons more
than the Albany and New Orleans type
of cruiser. The official description of
the Hal Chi is as follows:
Cruiser, 4,300 tons displacement
two military masts, fore and aft, both
fitted with coming towers; a rather
low freeboard aft and sharp, knife
like stem, which resembles that OF
the American lines st. Paul. The
armament consists Of two eight-inch
guns mounted in turrets, ten 4.7inch
guns, twelve three-pounders, and six
Maxim quick firers. She is also fitted
with five torpedo tubes, all above
water, and although she Is more thar
thirteen years old her engines are Of
sufficient power to drive her twenty
four knots an hour, If necessary. The
Hal Chi was constructed in England

avail themselves of an opportunity to
