New York, March l3--The statement
that sleeping volcano, which has been
dormant for many centuries, is threaten
ing the safety of the Panama canal, was
made in special dispatches from Colon
said to underlie Cuebra cut.
The fear of volcanic trouble had its
origin in the fact that Gouds of steam

turned ground. The geologist of the
canal commission declares, however, that
the smoke has no volcanic significance.

Taspberries and blackberries were Sc

Cept on the highest elevations. Apples
will be light crop. The red squirro's

When I was a boy we had no red

abundant, while black squirrels We're

/ squirrels now, but an occasioned fox
squirrel puts in an appearance in our

The only rats which infested our

Abolitionists, free sellers, and know

We have no reliable forecast of the

upon US now. The country has become
so immensely large and productive
that presidential timber is liable tn

COUNT IS HELD
IN $4,000 BAIL
NOBLE GERMAN FAILS TO WIN
HIS FREEDOM BY PRODUCING
FAMILY TREE coUNTRYMEN
ACCUSE HIM.
Special to The Journal.

Chicago, July 26.-Armed with huge
stacks of legal looking documents, with
highly colored ribbons and with many
gorgeous seals, Count Kurt Won Kno-
belsdorff, who says he is a scion of one
of the oldest and most aristocratic
families of Strassburg. Germany, stood
before Judge Newcomer in the munich
pal court today. He made a vain ef-
fort to obtain his freedom by offering
the documentary proof to show that he
had royal blood flowing in his veins.
There was nobody on hand to dis
pute the royal connections or to deny
that Won Knoblesdorff is a regular
count. In fact, that was conceded and
could not be disputed in face of the
documentary evidence offered by him.
There was much doubt however, on
the parts of several sons Of the father
land when the count told them and the
court that he was heir to fortune
of 100000. He also said that as soon
as he obtained this fortune he would
settle the various sums Of money that
had been intrusted to his keeping

The only reason the count did not
have the 100000 long ago was an old
time romance. he says.
While a dashing officer in the royal
army ne met and fell in love with
Martha Garden, a prominent member
of the Royal Grand Opera company.
HIS aristocratic parents, however.
frowned on the match and the father
told his son that If he dared to marry
the fair opera singer that he would
disinherit him.
The son, however. cared nothing for
the paltry estate that was due him.
He ran away and married the opera
singer. He became a singer himself,
and after touring Germany and other
portions Of Europe the count and his
wife came to America. Two years ago
they reached Chicago after an unsuc-
cessful tour Of the country.
Then the troubles began. The count
went to live at S24 La Sale avenue,

admiring sons and daughters of the
fatherland, who crowded a German

Though he is short on parlor etiquette
and eats peas with his knife,
Though he couldn't dance a two-step
or waltz to save his life,
He's the idol of adoring throngs Of

For he hits up near 800 In the great
and only game.
With the parlor conversation he's as
mum as any clam,
But he's idolized as much as any

He's as innocent OF grammar as Josh

But he's never missed a grounder when

He is very short on Tbsen. Never

If you'd speak to him of Maeterlinck
he'd ask how many games
Maeterlinck had ever played in. He is
mighty shy on lore,
But with three men on the bases he
can pound out hits galore.
He has got a country mansion and a

For he is this seasons hero in the

The Ace of Woman.

The Age of Woman.
This is certainly getting to be wom-
ans age. They are rising in their
might, and they are no longer to be
considered as the oppressed.
The other day in Los Angeles, Cal,
woman was criticized by her hus-
band because she had not cooked the
chicken right. What did she do? Did
she go to her room and weep and
threaten to go back to her mother?
No, indeed. She grabbed a perfectly
good 81 platter and smashed it over
the head of her lord, and now he is in
the hospital, trying to figure out what
happened. California, by the way, is a
very poor state to start anything Ike
that in, and husbands should take
warning.
In staid old New Hampshire last
week a husband arrived home and
found his wife and five of her women
friends enjoying a poker game, smok-
ing cigarettes and mixing highballs.
When he complained they locked him
in the cellar and forgot him until
morning, when the party broke up.
A Missouri woman has just traded
her husband off for a mule, and has
set up in business for herself peddling
tinware.
The good old days are gone, and, we
fear, never to return.

SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1912.
Reaching the Acme
Of Musical Taste.

It seems that Atlanta has reached
the last word in music. The town has
a city organist, whatever that may be.
who, it appears, is interested in the
brief season of grand opera that the
Georgia metropolis has enjoyed on two
annual occasions.
An Atlanta newspaper prints an in
terview with this municipal .organist in
which that dignitary says that within
the past two years the musical taste
of the people Of Atlanta has undergone
a complete change and he fondly thinks
it is for tae better. AS a proof of his
assertion he points out that until re-
Gently when the band would play old
familiar and time honored airs that
brought tears to the eyes of our moth
ers and grandmothers, the people
would applaud, but now, he says, when
the orchestra grinds out MY Old Ken
lucky Home, old Black Joe" Charm
ing Nellie Gray and Sweet Alice Ben
Bolt" the new found culture Of the
Atlantans causes them to sit in stony
silence. However, he says they go into
raptures over selections from classical
operas.
Perhaps the city musician was only
testing; perhaps the newspaper in
tended the interview for sarcasm. But
If all this is true. it goes to show that
Atlanta is a very new city as well as
very live and progressiv one. II
the Pensacola populace were ever Sc
snobbish as to sit in silence while old
masterpieces Of plantation melody
were being played and at the same
time go into ecstacies over brief frag-
ments of "ParsifaP' and ''Magda," II
was long ago. while the city was ii
the archaic stage, when there were
stumps in the streets and before the
policemen wore shoes in the summer
time.
A decade or so ago, on an occasion
when Theodore Thomas and his banc
were in Atlanta, the famous director
was asked to add Dixie" to his pro-
gram. A storm of protest arose when
he said his people could not play it
for Atlantans applauGed the wild
weird strains of Dixie" then as people
with red blood do the world over.
However, that was before Caruss
and Ricardo Martin and Mary Garder
made two brief annual visits to Geor-
gia and before Atlanta had a city or
ganist.
II it were not so comical, it woult
be pathetic, but Atlanta will, in time
get over it.

BATHING WAS A
POPULAR SPORT
HOT WEATHER DRIVES MOST OF
PENsAcoLA'S POPULATION TO
THE REAcHEs-sTREETs AL
MOST CLEARED DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

1t was very thoughtful of the wealth
er man to put the hottest day in the
year upon Friday, when many of the
stores were closed, and everybody ex-
cept the poor sweltering newspaper
slaves could get out of town. That
the fullest advantage of the oppor-
tunity was taken by the citizens of
Pensacola is indicated by the fact that
record breaking crowds visited Santa
Rosa Island, Bayview Park and Pal
metto Beach while hundreds found
cool picnic spots elsewhere, or spent
the day on the bay in launch or canoe.
Bayview Park was especially popu-
lar. BY street car, carriage, auto and
on foot the people came, beginning
early in the day. The water was alive
with bathers, while hundreds of people
enjoyed the cool breezes among the
pines Of the park. The water was es-
pecially fine for swimming, and the
bathers went in early and remained
long. A few more days like yesterday
and the Playground Association will
have to stretch the bathing beach out
a few rods to accommodate the people.
The san conditions prevailed at
Santa Rosa island, where unusually
large crowds enjoyed the waters of the
gulf. They reported, however, that
there was little wind and the heat was
unusual for that resort. A large COM
pany OF comfort and pleasure seekers
went last night to Palmetto Beach to
enjoy the dancing.
A big crowd Of dyed-in- the wool
fans attended the ball game in the af-
ternoon. The ball park was not the
| most comfortable spot in the world
| but the breeze helped keep the air cool
| and the real fan never knows anything
| about the temperature anyhow.
The hot weather and the various
| counter -attra ctions pretty effectually
| cleared the streets in the afternoon. In
| fact, the town was quieter than it has
| been for many months.

ct Might Have
Been Worse. :"

The thought that at might have
been worse has carried all Of US
through grave troubles and would
carry us serenely through all the petty
worries of every day. if we would but
let it.
TT might have been worse" is a con-
soling reflection which will apply in
any crisis, however serious. For no
single event can represent all the pos
sibIe elements of disaster. Nothing
ever happened to anybody in this world
which might not have been worse"
Death, indeed seems to exact all;
but it does not; and the deepest griefs
are so deadening to the senses that
they bring their own balm.
If we had no troubles but the great
and real ones. this world would be a
happy dwelling place.
It is the little worries-that might
so easily be actually worse-which, if
we permit them to survive from yes
terday and anticipate them for tomor-
row, charging them through the
lenses of Imagination and fear, eat out
the heart of hope and sicken us unto
despair.
Anyway, troubles are like ghosts
they are awfully terrifying at a little
distance, but when you come bravely
to lay your hands on them there's
nothing there.
It sounds paradoxical, but it is true,
that the real troubles are unreal, and
1t is only the worries that have no
reality which are real. The first
strengthen and develop US; the last
depress and kill.
For the universe operates under fixed
laws so fnnmutable that there can be
no accident, no disaster, nor actual
cause for worry except as the mind
admits it.
1T might have been worse is a
good thought with which to smile them
all away.

MELON SEASON
NEARING AN END
SHIPMENTS HAVE BEEN LARGE
THIS SEASON FROM WEST
FLORIDA, BUT ARE NOW BEGIN
MING TO GET LIGHT.

The watermelon season in West
Florida is nearing an end and within
the next fifteen days the shipments
through Pensacola will cease. The
crop this year has been an immense
one and the planters are said to have
received prices for their melons which
were quite remunerative
Up to within a few days ago not a
day passed but that from one to three
trains of melons passed through Pen
sacola en- route to the markets, prin-
cipaIly Birmingham, Louisville, Gin
cinnati and st. Louis. The demand
was good from all of those points and
as the melons were large ones they
met with a ready sale.
Nearly one thousand acres along the
P. & A. and Pensacola divisions were
planted in melons this year and the
movement by rail was probably heavier
than ever before.
Rub My-Tism will cure you.
