JOHN PORTER OR HEBRON
 STARTED CAPITAL LUNCH
In Eleven Years; Starting with $500, He Has Made Fortune of Nearly 1000. 900,

Probably the rise of no other bus mess man in the country has been more meteoric than that of John Por- ter, the owner of the Capitol lunch rooms, who has within the past eleven years anlassed 8 fortune of nearly $2,- 100000 and who started in business with the insignificant capital of $500. This. well known lunchroom magnate and restaurateur has now q chain of twenty lunchrooms, known as the Cap itol 1dlnch system, which aggregate g business of 1000, 900 annually. MT. Porter is a Hartford man and he at tributes his success to the apprecia.- tive public which has so generously patronized his restaurants.
 Mir. Porter was born in Hebron, May g, 1873. He remained on the farm until he was q years old, receiving in the meantime a common school edu- cation. When he was IT years old he attended a business college.
 When he reached the age of T he entered the employ of J. B. Williams company, soap manufacturers, of Glas- tonbury. a s a travelling salesman His territory extended through the south ern part of Connecticut and New York state. After he had been with this concern for about a year and a half he decided that he would like to settle in one place and he chose Hartford as his home. Tn discussing the selection Mir. Porter said that he liked the city because of the opportunities there, and because it was the capital of the state and probably the busiest city in the state at the time. He accordingly de- cided to locate in that city perman ently

Ken y-on & Co, matters and ciothiers, of Hartford He was then 22 years old He remained one year with this firm and then received the offer of place in a general store in Manchester, at Highland park. He. accepted it main ly for the Eurpose of getting experi- ence in the wholesale and retail gro cery business. From that time on food products was his hobby and he entred deeply into the study of the production and sale of foodstufIs. The store was owned by F. $. Carrier, and during his year in the store he learned the Fundamentals of the business which enabled him afterWard to enter into the sale of food so extensively and in 6alch au efficient manner.
 He conceived the idea that much money could be realized if he coulG purchase groceries and all manner of food Tn the raw state and sell them in thS finished form. He therefore en- tered into parfhership with c, r, Toop tS Soufib Manchester, operating a gem eFaI stere with hefne cooking as a side issue, Tha stere was cash grev err. and ths men kept ut this bsssiaesa for fe,ip wears.

BREED THEATER.
Homer Thy Father, Sensational Two Reel Feature Spectacle.

Especially strong is the programme ,at the Breed for the balance of this week, which is headed by the great Etory of domestic life entitled Honor Thy Father.

The Mirror is a won derfulIy strange Biogcaph story show ing how a girls knowledge of teleg- raphY saved her fathers life and mon ey. Earl Williams and Lillian Walker are seen in the delightful true to life story entitled When Society Calls, and The Flying Switch is the most thrill ing railroad Kalen picture ever seen on the screen at the Breed.

Baby Eats Strychnine;
In Serious Condition

Forsyth, Dec. 5.-Robert Meek, the

Forsyth, is in precarious condition
as a result of strychnine poisoning.
About Z O'Clock Thursday night the
little boy, finding a box of pink tai
lets and thinking from the size and
the pink color that they were candy,
ate thirty of them. He was soon seiz-
ed with violent commissions and
throughout the night was in seri-
GUS condition. Antidotes were ad-
ministered and the attending physi-
clans worked earnestly all during the
night and today it is thought thai
the child may recover.

NEGRO THINKS JAIL
IS GARDEN OF EDEN

Atlanta, Dec. GA negro Adam,
buck naked and believing himself to
be in the Garden of Eden, was tried IN
the criminal court of Atlanta yester-
day.
The court was moved from the
courthouse to the county jail, to &C
comodate the situation, and so as not
to shock the public. After hearing the
evidence the case was turned over to
an insanity commission.
The prisoners name was viii Row
an. He was picked up for vagrancy Il
few days ago.
After they took him to the jail he
developed a hallucination that he was
Adam, and promptly Invested himself
of all clothing. AS fast as the attend
ants dressed him again he tore off
what they put on, so they finally let
him have his way, and locked him in s.
cell out Of the way of the other pris-
oners.
So rather than run the risk of hav-
| ing him try to undress himself in open
court or on the way there in the
street, Judge Andy Calhoun got his
bailiffs and officers and stenographers
and clerks together and held the
court in the Jail corridor in front OF
the negro's CELL

CONFUSED WIFE
WITH WORD MAID
ST. LOUIS WOMAN IN SEEKING Dl.
y0RCE, SAYS HER HUSBAND
MADE HER Do THE SERVANTS
WORK.

| st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 6.-Mrs. Carrie
K. Papin, telling Judge Grimm yester-
day of her reason for seeking divorce
from Albert A Papin of III South
Fourteenth street, music teacher,
said Papin used to demand that she
help him on with his overcoat, his
shoes and his rubbers, and to enforce
his demand by saying:
Look in the dictionary ard see thu
definition of the word WIFE"
Mrs. Papin said she looked and found
wife refined as mate, and that she
told him he must not confuse the terms
mate" and maid"
She said her husband disliked girl
friend who used to call on her, and
that once after she left, he sprinklel
salt through the hall, saying that would
prevent her returning. When she re-
appeared a half hour later, he declar-
ed that she must be witch, and for
babe Mrs. Papin to associate with her.
| At another time, she said, he swore
at her because she sang "EVerybody's
Doing It." and told her he would not
tolerate such ragtime. The husbands
lawyer, o. W. Hammer, asked her if
this was not because Papin had mu-
sic pupil practicing in the house at the
time. She said she did not know.
She said that she had to work as a
seamstress to piece out her husbands
income, and that the end of their year
and a half of married life came March
80 last, when, after she had been wash
ing all day, he gave 25 cents to her
and told her to buy a meal for them
both. She then returned to her moth
er, who lives at 1881 South Eleventh
street.

LARGE FACTORY is BURNED
Loss Of $4,000 With IE-
suranCG of $4,000

Citizens of Columbus in Americas
yesterday gave particulars of the dis
astrous fire occurring there in the
early morning and resulting in the de-
Istruction of the Georgia Showcase
Co.'S. large plant, manufacturers of fine
showcases and bank fixtures. The fire
started at 4: 80 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and the entire plant was burned.
The estimated loss is about 100000,

This plant did great deal of fine
work in Americas, as throughout the
state, the furniture and equipment OF
several of the local banks and jewelry
stores in this city having been made by
the Columbus factory. 1t is understood
that the plant will probably be rebuilt
and business resumed there as soon
as possible.
The origin of the fire is not known,
beyond the superstition that it started
in the finishing department at 4:30
