had taken the initiative.
Without ostentation Harvey had an
ordinance passed compelling the CON
struction of sidewalks on all the
streets. There was another howl, but
the sidewalks We're built. Shortly af-
terward Harvey ordered IONS of water
pipe, and although people declared
they would not be taxed for them, the
pipes Were laid to the mountains
twelve miles distant, and instead of
hauling water four miles, it was soon
coming from hydrants in the stores

ordered ~wagonloads of trees from dis
tant hills, and the streets were lined
with them. Everybody declared that
the mayor a going crazy. But in
two years there were beautiful trees
lining the streets. His next move was

and having played In the University of
Georgia team. One day there was an
improvement in the condition of the
patient, but it was only temporary.
Hundreds of messages were received
from various parts of the country,
from friends and strangers. Pfgsi-
clans took an especial interest In the
and many alleged cures were res
ceived by telegram, while the medical
staff of John Hopkins at Baltimore
kept in close touch with developments
and offered suggestions.
"If this be dying, then none need
fear it's ~terrors,'' he is said to have
remarked Wednesday. just before he
sank into a state Of partial coma
which lasted until the end.
All of us much die some time or
other, but the exact day is mercifully
yelled from our knowledge. When an
accident comes which must be in
evitably fatal the end is usually not
long delayed. Even the criminal con-
demned to die has hope of q reprieve,
a pardon or some way of escape. But
to the Macon banker there was no
such ground for hope. Each day the
joy of living was everywhere about
him and he could for a time partici-
pate, but the shadow of his fate set
tied more blackly rel him as the
hours went by. 1t was a rare instance
and in this age of the search for the
unusual universal interest.
The death of Mr.. Walker, the self
condemned, will arouse general regret
by reason of it's attendant circum-
stances, whereas had there been moth
ing out of the ordinary scant atten-
ton would have been paid to his
demise outside his circle Of intimate
friends.

UNUSUAL CASE OF DEATH.

With the death early yesterday
morning of the Macon, Ga, banker,
B. 8. Walker, came the end of a fight
for life which the whole country has
been watching with interest. A week
before he had taken a sev~en-grain
tablet Of bichloride of mercury by
mistake for a headache remedy, which
the box was supposed from its label
to contain. Just half the amount of
the poison taken is the killing dose.
Cases of death from a dose of
bichloride Of mercury are .rare-not
because 1t is a deadly poison. but for
reason that the victim usually con-
sumes from three to ten days in dying.
Hence its use as a suicide potion is
practically nothing. Only by mistake
or unconscious absorption would there
be a death from such a dose. 1t was
some hours before the mistake was
discovered, as Mr.. Walker did not
know what he had taken. BY the time
the presence of the bichloride of mer-
curry was ascertained it was too late

and milk--to throw the poison of.
Physicians from the very first
realized there was practically no
chance for the patient. who was thus
left in the position OF a man con-
dernned to death by his own act, yet
not knowing the day nor the hour
when nature would demand the death
penalty. The newspapers carried the
story al over the country, and day by
day the progress Of the strange fight
with death was related.
Last Friday there was a convention
OF bankers In Macon and a number OF
Mi. Walkers personal friends In att
tendance came to see him. In evening
dress, Mr.. Walker with his wife by
his side. received his guests with d
cordial handshake. AT other times he
has been up and around, walking
under the shadow of the dread reaper,

Berlin, May 27.-The kaiser's selec-
ton of Putnam Griswold, the American
opera singer, for the part of the king
in Lohengrin at the gala performance
preceding the marriage of his daughter,
Princess Louise, to Prince Ernest Of
Cumberland, has aroused German
opera singers. That an American
should be chosen in a. land where sing
,ers are plentiful was considered bad
enough, but to place him in a Wagner
ian opera vas worse. But Griswold was
tickled to death by the compliment Of
the kaiser. This is what he said:
Il consider this about the biggest
compliment the emperor could pay to
an American singer, and I am just as
pleased as it is possible to be. Quite
apart from this special pleasure it
would be a real delight under n
circumstances to sing at such a per-
Torrance. Not only was the scenery
entirely new and better than anything
I have yet seen for the first act of
Lohengrin, but the Royal Opera real
ly shows this time what it can do. I
did not know that so much could be
got out of Lohengrin.'

WILL BENEFIT NORTH pAkorA.

Coincident with the final years work
of activity in the building of water
ways in this country and Canada.
When railroads were in their infancy
canals were looked to for carrying
the great share of the long-distance
commerce but when the network Of
United States, 1t seemed that the
canal age had passed forever.
In recent years however the trans
portation business of the country has
increased SO rapidly that the railroad
facilities r proving inadequate to
handle 1t. The managers a. they are
Handicapped by legislation, raises in
wages without a raise in freight rates,
and by added expense in every depart
1nert. However that may be, 1t is a
condition that confronts, and it's
causes are for the moment irrevelant,
The most ~pretentious of new water
ways projects is for the building Of a
Canadian canal from the great lakes
to the ocean, through which ocean
freighters can come and so. The
canal ia to be constructed with money
from the sale of bonds guaranteed by
the Canadian government. according
to the plans Of its promoters. The
charters have already been granted,
surveys made, and the financing COM
pany formed. ...
Its cost will be 1925. 900. 900 or con-
siderably less than half that Of the
Panama canal. The waterway will be
40 miles Ions. the work consisting
mainly In deepening the channels Of
the Ottawa, MGttawa and French
rivers, and will be known as the
Georgian Bay canal. The depth is to
be rtwenty-four feet and there will
be twenty-four locks.
While Canada will get the bulk of
the benefit, North Dakota and other
northwestern states will share equal
ly with the Canadians. Ocean liners
will be able to load at Duluth and
Lake Superior ports, with through
carges from European ports and the
spring wheat states will be independ-
emit Of the railroads except for the
short haul to Duluth. With the
cheaper water freights which the
canal will bring, no doubt much Of the
grain and ore from North Dakota and
Minnesota, intended for European
ports, will be diverted from rail lines
to New York and other eastern ports.
improvements at the 500 canal are
to cost nearly 5000, 900, 900. The state
Of New York Is r~evivifying and i'm
proving the Erie canal at a cost of
over $11s,0 600. 600 so that barges of L.
600 tons may be f1oated. BY the pro-
jectad improvements the Hudson river
will be a part Of the enlarged canal
system Of the state. The Cape Cod
canal, in Massachusetts, is to cost
$10,0 900.
1t will only be a question Of time be-
fore the Mississippi river will be i'm
proved, deepened and controlled and
become a great artery of trade from the
northern. part Of the United States.
The central west is slowly but surely
shaping affairs so that it a get it's
produce out to the world at cheaper
rates and when these great water
ways are available, this section of the
country will be more prosperous than
ever before in it's history.
