EARL WANTS POSITION.

New York, Aug. 29.-There is the
uueerest kind Of a noble man living
incognito in New York, if the infor-
nation contained in a little want

He is an English earl in search of an
American job and not an American

His bid for position in a COM
manding capacity, reads as follows:
AN English earl of business abili-
ty, strong personality, formerly naval
officer, strong executive, thoroughly
experienced in modern business
methods, has just arrived to connect
himself in a commanding capacity
with a reputable American concern.
MANLY, clean-cut appearance, 80

Everybody Keep a Duck!

The manager of big Chicago ho-
tel has found very simple solution
Of the fly problem. 1t is flock of
ducks.
The ordinary hotel perhaps has no
particular accommodations for live
ducks; but in this there is fountain
in the centre of the approaches to
the various dining rooms. The foun-
tain has large basin, and just by
way of novelty the manager several
months ago placed few ducks in the
water. They padded around and en-
joyed it, and the guests enjoyed see-
ing them. But, better still, the ducks
also enjoyed the flies that attempt
ed to enter the dining rooms and
feast upon the good things therein.
The flies-in Chicago at least-fy
low; and ducks, as any one who has
ever seen them knows, are especially
quick in catching insects. The con-
sequence is this particular hotel,
once troubled with flies, now has
practically none. And the ducks,
once lean to verge of scrawniness,
are fat and sleek.
The duck method of disposing of
the fly nuisance cannot, of course,
obtain in private households to any
degree; but in this particular hostelry
the ducks have caused the wire fly
swatter and traps to be thrown into
the ash heap.
Perhaps next year the enterpris-
ing manager will attach some sort
of metre to every duck, so that at
the end of the season he can tell
how many flies each busy fowl has
disposed of with neatness and dis
patch.

NIAGARA FALLS.
The First Description of Americas
Wonderful Falls.

In the autumn of 1878, writes Jno.
Finley, in Scribner's Magazine, a
Franciscan frair, Hennepin, set out
alone-the first solitary figure of the
expedition, a gray priest-from the
gray rock of Quebec, in birch canoe,
carrying with them the furniture of
a portable altar" Along the way up
the Saint Lawrence he stopped to
minister to the habitants, too few
and too poor to support a priest,
saying Mass, exhorting, and baptiz-
ing. Early in November he arrived
at the mission at Fort Frontnac,
which he had two or three years be-
fore helped La Sale to establish in
the wilds. Soon La Sales lieuten-
ants appeared, with most of the men,
and while some were dispatched
in canoes to Lake Michigan to
gather the buffalo fleeces against the
coming of the ship whose keel had
not yet been laid, the rest LA Motto,
Hennepin, and 16 men) embarked for
the river by which the upper lakes
empty into Lake Ontario and the
Saint Lawrence, that is, the Niagara.
To this priest, Hennepin, we owe
the first description and picture OF
Niagara, probably now more familiar
to the world than any other natural
feature of this continent. He has
somewhat magnified the height OF
these falls, but they are impressive
enough to acquit him of Justification
and powerful enough to run virtually
all the manufacturing plants in the
United States if they could be gath
cred within reach. AS it u.s., less than
per cent. of the water that over
flows from the four upper Great
Great Lakes into the lower lake, once
known as Lake Frontenac and now
as Ontario, is diverted for utilitarian
purposes, and yet it supplies the
American and the Canadian almost
equally between the two shores over
three hundred thousand horsepower.
What the conversion of the strength
of this Titan, for ages entirely wasted
and for century after Hennepin only
scenic wonder, means or may mean
to industry In the future, is intimated
in some statistics furnished by a re-
cent writer on the Great Lakes show
ing the relative cost per month of a
certain unit of power in number OF
representative American cities.

A HORSELESS CITY.
Nags Will Be Barred from the New
Town of Speedway, Ind.

Horses will be barred from the new
town of Speedway, laid out in the en-
virons of Indianapolis, says Popular
Mechanics. BY autumn, it is said,
the new city will be~Well under way
and it is expected that the place will
become an important industrial cen
ter, devoted exclusively to interests
allied with the motor car trade.
1t is admitted that the humble
equine is aiding in building the new
town, but after it is completed neith-
er he nor any of his four-footed fel-
lows will be permitted to enter the
city sacred to motor driven vehicles.
Leases will stipulate that horses must
not be used for any purpose; and the
butcher, baker and grocer will neces-
sarily have to resort to the motor
truck for delivery purposes. The
fire department will be wholly equip
ped with motor driven apparatus,
and the patrol wagons will race down
the streets without clatter of iron
shod hoofs.
The government of Speedway will
be intrusted to men identified with
the motor trade, and the streets will
bear names illustrious in the motor
world.
The principal part of the new city
will be directly south of the Indian
apolis motor speedway, while part of
the town will be west of the famous
track. No factories will be admitted
in Speedway unless they are in some
manner identified with the motor
car trade.
Another feature of the horseless
town is that it will be constructed
throughout of concrete, rendering it
freproof. 1t is predicted the motor
fire department will have little to do.

Where Corn Grows Tall.

The prospect of a big corn yield in
Kansas this fall recalls the story of
big Kansas corn at the Philadelphia
Centennial. Among the Kansas agri-
cultural exhibits at that Fair was
some corn on the stalks grown in the
Neosho river bottoms. 1t was 20 feet
high and the ears looked as long as
stove wood. An old lady from Ver-
mont gazed at it and declared that
the stalks were srliced. Then she
took another look and changed her
mind. But" said she, "it didn't
grow that big in one year. 1t must
have grown for two seasons" The
man in charge of the Kansas exhibit
was somewhat of a prevaricator him
self. Lady," said he, in great So
lemnity, 1--WE are almost ashamed to
exhibit this corn. This has been a
hot, dry year in Kansas and we have
not been able to raise very large
corn. But we felt that it wouldn't t
do to have a Kansas exhibit without
corn, so we brought this little stuff
along.' In really good year the
corn grows so high in Kansas that
eagles build their nests in the tassels,
knowing full we'll that they are out
of range of the farmers guns. -

TWO GAFFNEY LADS DROWNED.
Myron Sandifer, Jr., and John
Creighton the Victims,

Rock Hill, Aug. 29.-Myron Sandi-
fer, Jr., son of DR.. and Mrs. NJ. H.
Sandifer, and John Creighton, soh of
Mrs W. J. Creighton, of this city;
two 15-year-old boys, were drowned
in the Catawba river this evening,
about 4 o'clock, while in swimming
with a party of boys who went out
after dinner.
Up to this time their bodies have
not been found, but the water has
been cut off at the Catawba Power
Company's dam, several miles above,
and it is hoped that with the fall of
the river they will be recovered. Both
were bright, good boys and the whole
city is plunged in grief over the dis
tressing affair.

FUNERAL OF BOOTH.
$4,000 Persons, Representing Saliva
ton Army and Others Participate.

n
London. Aug. 2S.-Funeral SER
vices for the founder of the Saliva
ton Army, General William Booth,
were held at the Olympia tonight.
In accordance with the traditions
they were without pomp or symbols
of mourning, but were carried out
with moving fervor and impressive
ness. Thirty-four thousand persons
participated in the function. Nearly
half of them wore blue coats and red
Jerseys or bonnets with the red rib
bon so familiar on the streets of the
cities of the world where the army is
established.
The body of the late general in a
plain pine coffin rested high on a
catafalque in front of the big plat
form across the end of the hall where
all the chief officers of the organiza-
ton were seated and where 40 bands
of music were massed.
The crimson flag of the army "of
fire and blood" which the general
unfurled on Mount Cavalry was plant
ed above the coffin. A bank of flow-
ers, composed of tributes sent by
members of royalty and many others
were behind it, Flags of various ma
tions in which the comander-ln-
chief had waged campaigns were ar
rayed in front of the platform.
Many Notable Present.
The front row of chairs before the
coffin were filed with representa-
tives of various bodies and also the
equerry of the King, several mayors
in their robes and chains of office, a
delegation from the stock exchange,
ministers and clergymen of all the
protestant churches and Jewish rab-
bies and many notable personages
were seated throughout the house.
But the rank and file of the great
gathering was composed of the plain
people for whom the army works and
of whom it is composed.
The service itself was not only a
memorial but mammoth meeting of
prayer and praise.
A feature of the services was the
conducting of a true Salvation Army
revival service with invitations to
sinners and backsliders to come to
1.-The mercy seat" dozens of persons
forced their way through the crowd
ed aisle to the mercy seats on eth
er side of the platform where they
knelt in prayer. In some cases the
police were required to force a way
for the penitents.
Old-Fashioned Revival.
AS the penitents went forward the
singing, shouts of encouragement and
amens increased in volume until the
Olympia was turned into colossal,
old-fashioned revival.

platform, General Bramwell Booth,
swinging his arms above his head, led
the singing, pausing frequently to re-
mind sinners that the dead leader
had given his life to save them.
The most impressive feature of the
solemnities then followed. All the
soldiers of the army arose and recit-
ed the covenant of fidelity, pledging
themselves to be faithful soldiers of
the Lord.
The catafalque was then wheeled
slowly down the aisle while the great
gathering sang when the Roll is
Called Up Yonder I'll be There" The
coffin wcs placed in hearse and
conveyed to the Salvation Army head
quarters where it will rest until taken
to Abney Parry cemetery tomorrow.

Every Race Has Flag But Negro.

Cleveland, Aug. 29.-After hearing
a song to the effect that every race
has a flag but the negro, the Rev. j..
Lennox, of this city, a bishop of the
Zion African Evangelical church, de-
signed an official emblem which he
said to-day his church has decided to
adopt. The flag has twelve stars in
a field of purple and twelve bars of
red, white, and blue.
The purple represents the robe
Christ wore before thee crucifxion;
the red, "our sins that shall be made
white as snow" the white, the purity
of the apostles, and the blue, the ne
groe's loyalty to the United States.
