CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
A NAVAL VICTORY WITHOUT
BlOODSHED.

In 1878 Captain Rathburne,
commanding a little American
vessel with twenty-five men and
twelve four-pound guns, swooped
down upon the island Of New
Providence with Its nest Of To-
ries and it's British garrison.
With a quick dash he landed,
seized the forts, raised tho
American flag, released some
American prisoners, and cap
tured six British vessels. A
privateer Of sixteen gunt lay at
anchor In the port, and Brit
ish sloop-of-war lowered out
side; but they we're too sur
priscd to do anything. The To-
ries armed themselves and at
tempted TO capture Rathburne
and his men, but changed their
minds when he threatened to
burn the town. He held the
place two days. Then he
spiked the guns, carried of the
arms and ammunition, burned
two Of the captured ships and
sailed away with the other four.
Nor lost he single man.

FORTUNE DISSIPATED.

Another disciple of Goal Oil John
ny has come to grief.
Derrick Wernher, son Of the South
African millionaire, Sir Julius Wcrn-
her, appeared in the bankruptcy
court in London yesterday, when an
extraordinary story of how he spent
S575, 900 was disclosed.
The bankrupt attributed his failure
to extravagant living, betting, gam
bling and heavy interest, commissions
and bonuses on money-lending tran
sactionS.
Wcrnhcr is 22 years of aye. He
was educated at Elton and Oxford, and
on leaving the university had con-
.tractcd debts to the amount of $780,
600, chiefly as result of gambling
transactions, including baccarat and
horse racing. These debts were paid
by his father, who then advertised in
the English and continental papers
that he would not be responsible for
any further debts his son might con-
tract.
Since then the bankrupt said he had
incurred debts to the amount of $780,
900 to unsecured creditors.

Oscar w. Underwood, of Alabama,
majority leader of the House and cam

declares that his presidential candi-
dacy was not in the interest Of Gov
crnor Harmon nor Of any other can
didate than himself. This was in re-
ply to statement of William J..
Bryan in speech at Chillicothc, o.,
that he had heard that the Underwood
delegates chosen in Georgia and Flori
da were in reality Harmon men.
at is impossible for man in pub
lie life" said Mr.. Underwood ito keep
up with all the Misrepresentation
made about him, but wish to say
that there is no warrant in fact for
the statement made by Mr.. Bryan.

tial nomination with the honest en-
deavor to secure it for myself and my
candidacy is not and never has been
in the interest of Judge Harmon or
any other candidate. Georgia, tlorl-

was the expression of the desire OF
thousands of honest votes at the polls

"MOTHER'S DAY

Every citizen should DIN in the OBJ
scrvancc of "Mother's Day" on next
Sunday. The day will be generally
observed throughout the country and
in many states proclamations have
been issued by tho governors. Flow
ers will be worn to the honor of moth
ers who are living to shower their
great love upon the earth and to the
memory of those who have gone tc
the great beyond.
One of the prettiest Mothers Day
proclamations which has come to our
notice was written for the state OF
Oklahoma by the 16-year old daugh-
ter of Governor Cruce. In part, the
proclamation says:
"The sweetest treasures that life
contains is your mother, who, dwelling
here on earth, is more part of HeaV-
en-; but whether with you or with the
angels, she is your mother still.
Nothing we can ever DO can re-
move the debt of gratitude we owe our
mothers; nothing can repay them for
their patience, purity and loving kind
ness; but on this day dedicated to
them we can in a small, yet sincere
way show our thougthfulness of and
gratitude TO them to whom it is given
to garden the earth with the roses of
Heaven"

the conference rejected the first par
agraph Of the report Of the commits

at the last session of the conference
in Baltimore, four years ago. The
paragraph of the commissions re-

today consisted in the main of the
