As to Presidential Candidate.

As to Presidential Candidate.
1t is known that the Newberry dele
cation to the State convention IS anti
Wilson. AS stated, Underwood has
several strong supporters on the dele
cation, and it is probable the delega-
ton will support Underwood. The
delegation is opposed to instructing
the delegation to Baltimore, and will
vote in the State convention against
an instructed Baltimore delegation.
At 12.4O o'clock, forty minutes af-
ter the convention was called to or
der, a motion to adjourn was put and
carried.
Considerable Interest.
Some time before the convention
was called to order, the delegates be-
gan to gather in the court house, and
there was a great deal of interest
manifest. It was understood that
there would be a Blease ticket and an
anti-Blease ticket throughout.
There was no opposition whatever
to the Blease ticket after the first test
of strength. 1t is unusual for eight
delegates to be named to the State
Convention without opposition, as was
the case. This ticket had been agreed
upon beforehand by the Blease forces.
There was a remarkably full attend
ance of the delegates. When the roll
| was called there were few absentees
noted among the delegates who had
been elected by the various precinct
clubs.
Some of the delegations split up
considerably on the vote for president
of the convention. Col. Hunt, who
placed Mr.. Keitt in nomination, was
delegate from club which had among
it's delegates some of the most pro,
nounced Blease men in the conven,
ton, including two brothers of the
governor, the former law partner Of
Governor Blease, and a brother of the
latter.
AS a rule, however, the various clut
delegations voted pretty we'll together
The convention passed off quietly.
The executive committee met I'M
mediately after the adjournment OF
the convention.

 You do not know? ?v that manirepled.

 And how long will this last?'
 Until you tell me thatyou killed young Tu1pin.'
 For the first time Heame smiled. But that will never be, y he said 'sI am as inno- cent as you are l have been tried and found not guilty. And furthermore will not sub nit to this treatment. "
 What can you do9'' asked the detec- tive. Fl will go wherever you go, London, Paris, Berlin, Venice, anywhere, every where.

And when off your guard, you let drop link of evidence, l will find it. In the meanwhile I svll saet offend. You will have no cause to attack me. Yon will not dare to kill me, for you know the dreadful shadow of the chair out of which you have just emerged. v
 All the while those eyes burned them selves through the face of Hearne and touched his brain. His own eyes dropped. He again had the sensation of the serpent charmed bird He backed. away, baffled, beaten He ate nothing He had never felt before so helpless He was conscience of q danger something horrible that lowered above him, ready to strike, to chill his heart, congeal his blood, take his life away.
 He concluded to shake those eyes in London somehow, in some manner.
 .'It certainly can be done, " he said.
 Landing, he ordered his cabby to take him to d hotel unfrequented by Americans. Having prepared fon dining he strolled to the cafe There before him sat du Bar du Bar with those horrid eyes which saw him as he entered Hearne immediately turned on. his heel, ordered his baggage and left for Paris. In his compartment he found du Bar.
 It was a horrid night. During the long hours the detective said nothing, sat un- moving, sat gazing. Hearne, opposite, sat, uneasy, restless, daunted. He attempted, at times. to meet the gaze of the evil eyes which never blinked Manfully he strove hut without success. When he turned away he was still conscious of the eyes which never turned. He thought of retiring, and dismissed the thought Not until that man goes, at any rate, : he said

 And all the while those strange eyes searched him. Hearne moved alneaslly m his seat. He began to wonder when the ser pent would strike He then determined to shake the spell by retiring to the deck But as he strolled away, he knew, although he did not turn his head, that the stranger was following close behind.
 The morning passed, but the eyes still held him. At lunch the two men confronted each other across the table. Neither spoke. The one with the evil eye simply stared. The other squirmed uneasily in his seat.
 It was a terrible daysfor lIearne. He knew not what to do. At dinner the strang CT still insulted with his stare that stare which seemed to invite victim into a treacherous web, which seemed to compel it's object to lose its equilibrium and fall through space, to yield, or cry aloud
 Following the meal Hearne retired. Something prompted him securely to fasten his cabin door But he could not sleep. Far into the night he tossed about his bed. Through the darkness, he saw or thought he saw upon the wall no man, no face, but pair of eyes, with pupils pressing upward and with ghastly balls exposed. He shuds dered and pulled the covering across his face Hours later he heard footsteps ap- proach on the lower deck As they reached his cabin window they stopped He caught himself gazing through the shadows, gag ing intently as if to see that which could not be seen.
 And then, he saw-no man, no lace, but the evil eyes those which had seen him all the while.
 With smothered cry, Hearne leaped from the bed and flashed the light. Foot steps, falling faintly, moved away. Nitll- out, he saw the ocean s waste, and heard its swish against the stern. Overhead shone the golden moon, silent, peaceful, compla- cent
 In a cold perspiration, the man drew the shutters and tried to read But ever and anon he turned his face to the window, or the ceiling. or the doorway expecting all the while those eyes to appear lie finally imagined that they beheld him through the keyoe He quickly turned out te light and leaped again in bed.
 When Hearne. the morning following his wretched night, reached the dining room, he found du Bar there before him.

In the early hour of morning, the pool fellow fell asleep. In his dream, the maI across from hin. vanisllt in' the air leavinel behind those eyes, those large, nnblinklng awe compelling, all-conquering, mysterlous eyes, which grew from their natural size large enough to occupy all the space, ane then dwindled by slow degrees to slender rays of light which seemed to shoot and pierce and sting

 For months, the chase continued. From Paris the two rode to Berlin, from Berlin to Venice, from Venice to Rome, to St Petersburg, back to New York, down tc New Orleans, across the continent to Cali fornia.
 Day by day Hearne became more dis tressed. He could never sleep Du Ba9 never cared to sleep. Absently at meals the hunted played with his fork. Du Bar never ate. Hearnes grew thin and haggard. D' Bar each morning appeared fresher, sternel and more determined
 Hearne was never from under the silent weight of those eyes. The eyes forever says him. Forever he saw the eyes, even wher he retired to the darkness of his chamber even in the moments he lost himself in rest less sleep.
 The hunted finally concluded that hf was doomed to bear the burden. His every effort to escape having failed, he yielded He made no more attempts. He was as onf surrendered to dread disease, surren dered awaiting the summons to go. The little bird had lost its bearing and tumblee before the eyes of the snake.

gT9 BIRMINGHAM has grown to such cos LIZ ] mopolitan proportions that as you @ walk the streets you encounter not only those with whom you are not acqualnt- ed, but countless people on whom never be- fore you have put your eyes.
 To very few people, therefore, 1t IS known that among Us live a soldier of for tune who has battled in dozen wars, a man who saw Booth fire the shot that ended the existence of Abraham Lincoln, former prima donna who sang before Queen Eliza beth, and comparatively young boy who, on two occasions, has walked through every state of the Union.
 And not dozen of Birmingham $ l5O,- GOO people know that Bertrand du Bar, formerly detective of the constabulary of the city of New York--a man who in his prime was as famous for his clever work as William Burns is today-lives in shab- by cottage a mile or two beyond East Lake.
 Until recently it has always been mys- tery why du Bar gave up profession for which, the critics claimed he was born, and in which, he displayed such splendid talent with world d-wide success. For it was he who rounded up the robbers who plundered the express of the New York Central and it was he who captured the thief Of the world who robbed a noble lady of Britain of all her family jewels
 All that up to the present time is known of the mystery is this: Four years before lie disappeared he resigned his position on the New York force afterward he wassoc- casonally seen in Gotham, and frequently heard of as visiting the capitals of Euro pean nations; then he showed mp in the of flee of the New York Times with a state ment to the effect that he would never again trail crook, and was planning to dis appear from the noise of the world.
 Immediately afterwards, he boarded a train south, and on reaching Birmingham, aislnounted. He purchased his home near East Lake and there unknown and not de siring to be known, he resides.
 You will not meet him save by chance. But if within the next few days you behold a face neither young nor old a face with ex- pression so peculiar that you are perforce compelled to look again, or third time, it will be that of Bertrand du Bar. Anavze the features. and you will wonder what fl is that causes you to marvel. And then all of a sudden you will know.

 The story which word by word and in disiointed phrases fell in the course of dozen months from the mouth of du Bar has i.s beginning in court room at the con cuson of famons murder trial, William Hearne had been declared not guilty of hay ing murdered his former friend, Walter Tirpin, this despite a net of clrcumstantial evidence which had seemed with deadly strength 10 bind him.
 As the young man walked from the court room, joyous in the relief of the awful stone rolled away, he was encountered by the father of the deceased.
 sHearne," inc old man said, you are Tree But l know and you know that you are guilty, that your hands are red with the blood of my l,oy, and that your blcw is marked with the horrid stamp of Cam And YOU will be brought to justice. My agent [ will follow you to the end of the world, will mark 1o1lr every movement will heac yonr every word And when you forget, when you m the belief that you are safe elT m vour proaranllne, you will find yourself again in the tolis of the law. Murder will out, Healne, and l will yet have your life. /"
 The late prisoner smiled, shrugged his shoulders and walked away. He knew that he was innocent, and without the sting oF the~ash of conscience, feared nothing, and saw in the future no untoward circnm stances to cause his brow to wrinkle or his heart to cringe He left the following morn ing for London.
 On the same steamer, there went from New fork the worlds most clever dctec tive, Bertrand Gp Bar, the man with the ter rible eyes He was on the trail which ended in tragedy, the death of his innocent quar- ,v. the blight of his own ambition and the shattcring of his worldly hope of great achievement.
 At breakfast the following morning, William Hearne became aware that across the aisle from him strang- CT sat, and that :hc stranger, for seinc DC culiar reason, was more engrossed Ill watcl- ing him than in eating the egg and toast the waiter served.
 Some vulgar fool, the young man thought, ''who saw me during the trial
 ..But no vulgar fool would have the nerve,' he afterwards concluded, ssto search me with his eyes as this man does never to move them from my face. not even when he eats.

FIGHTING IN THE AIR.

General James Allen, head of the United States Army signal corps re gently gave some Illuminating figures regarding the comparative strength of our aerial navy as compared with oth- CT worIf powers which are very far from showing Us up in a favorable light in this respect. At present, he stated We have only ten officers who have been trained for this work and twelve machines. the total cost of the equipment not being more than about $92000
 As opposed to this France apprOpri- ated almot $5,OO0,OOO for aeroplanes last year and $1,6O0,000 for dirigibles. We have one training school while Germany has two and has already ap- propriated almost $2,000000 for the construction of two more. This latter country has already fifty officers en- gagged in the study of aviation, and France is making similar strides, and Russia and Italy are also forging ahead in this branch of the service.
 The latter country has done much toward demonstrating the practicabil- ity of these machines in time of war, both for the purposes of recOnnOiter- ing and for offensive work This eX perienCe should go far toward influ-

No hurry was attached to the trip consequently a very enjoyable time was experienced by all for everything worth seeing was visited. The party camped for four days a few miles below the dam and spent the time enjoying the full benefits of the average out of door life. They claim that the weather in that vicinity was much cooler during their stay than it was in the valley upon their return but it ap- pears to be doubted by a good many people.

BURGLAR AND THIEF.
More Convenient Portable Property at the Palm.

Wednesday evening a Mexican giv- ing his name as AntOne Moreno. reg istered at the Palm house. a hostelry loc,ted near the 4. F. depot Yester- day morning he told Mr. Smith that he was going away. but would be back again, and left a very hand some overcoat, which he said he would not need for the present. and would get later. MT. Smith thought nothing of the circumstance until he missed a gold watch, % few rings, and several other articles Then he started out to locate the thief and found that he had bought a ticket for Ray, checked his baggage to that point. an devidently had boarded the train which leaves the depot for the south shortly after 9 o'clock About the same time Dr. J. E. Nelson found that a burglar had been at work at his rcsid. nce one Of his trunk5 had been opened, and several articles taken. one of which was a watch. Another was @n overcoat, and still another was q pair of pants. Shoes, socks and other smaller articles were also missing The doctor notified Deputy Sheriff Peterson and then made a quick trip to the office of the justice of the peace, to secure a warrant for the arrest of John Doe" While the papers were being made out MT. Smith appeared. anX- ious to have a warrant issued for "AntOne Moreno" When MT Smith described the OvercOat, it was found that it was the one stolen from Dr. Nelson the Mexican having made up his mind evidently that an OVercOat was superfluity at this season of the year Deputy Peterson at once telephOned and telegraphed to all points along the Arizona Eastern, be- tween Mesa and Winkelman, and it seemed that John Doe or AntOne Moreno would not be able to escape arrest.
 It seems that Moreno was not lack ing in rervc. He spent the even ing before the burglary around the pool halls, and after securing the plunder GOld some of the rings and other jeWelry in town, probably by this means getting sufficient funds to buy a ticket to Ray. Mrs. w. A. Burton, wife of the local constable, is one of the parties to whom Moreno sold ring, the property of Mrs. Al Taylor, who has rooms at the Palm house. Mrs. Taylor had placed her watch and rings in her purse and hung the purse on the wall while she attended to some washing. It was late when she missed her purse, which also contained five dollars in money.
 The same Mexican was in Mickey & Sagner's tailor shop early in the morning and tried to sell a suit of clothes which he claimed he had bought but wanted the money to get ticket to some pl@ce where he could work
