 Chattanooga

Chattanooga, August 10-(Special. )--lm- provements upon the Tennessee river north of Chattanooga has been resumed by the government fleet that has been aischc red here for several months. Frac- tically all of the boats have departed for various points upstream in charge of q large corps of engineers and laborers. Funds for the improvements, which con Nhe boat channel have been secured by d- verting part of the appropriation made for the Caney creek lock and dam last year
 The government fleet which makes Chat tanooga it's base of operation now con sists of two dredge boats. three steamers, two gasoline boats eight derrick boats, three drill boats, seven dump scows and about 20 barges. All of the vessels were overhauled eafly last week and are Tn good condition for the fall campaign Notable among the vessels is the steamer Ocoee, which was recently constructed at the government shipyard at Muscle Shoals.
 The most extensive improveme nts now Contemplated are at Washington, Hazel Ridge and Goldfield Shoals, near Dayton, Tenn, and Soddy Shoals near Rathburn, Tenn.
 Construction of the caney creek dam has been indefinitely postponed because of the delay Of the department of justice in getting right of ways and because of a diversion of the funds.

 "Do you ever have a secret longing to get back to the cosmopolitan life that the Waldorf affords?' I asked with all its glare and glitter and showiness? Honest injun, now, wouldn't you rather be a page in the Waldorf than President of the United States?'
 A quizzical smile broke over the coun- tenance of the young fellow as he said quickly:

S5OOO IS SAID ID BE
 MISSING FROM BANK
Money Is Reported to Have Been Lost From First
 National of Jackson

Jackson Miss. August 1o.--t tspeeialD X sensational report as to how the First National bank of Jackson lost 5000 a few days ago has gained cur reney and caused good deal of talk and speculation as to the presence ol detectives in the city.
 The report is to the effect tha Tues day week. the day of the funeral of Father C. A. Oliver and about the same time us the murder and suicide of the Taylor brothers. the First National missed 5000 package of bills from the counter, and that they have never been able to explain the disappear ance.
 As the story goes the bank reported the matter to the Bankers Protective association and that Burns detectives were put on the case at once. They are said to have been here several days, and to have found out nothing. One of Burns most trusted men, who is known to a great many Jackson people, was seen here last week by several of them.
 The bank officials here today are reticent on the subject Capt O. J. Waite states that he was not here at the time, and knew nothing about it. R. r. Young, cashier. states that there is nothing to the story, and wondered how such reports could get out. He ad = mitted there had been a little irregu- larity' to develop several days ago. but 1t had all been cleared away and set tied satisfactorily. He had seen one of the Burns men here, in fact that he was in the bank being old friend of Captain Waites and called to see him while in town.

any afternoon and see the bright par ticular stars of the world stroll by. One thing the Waldorf never catered to,
 and that is the theatrical profession.
 A great many noted actors dine there,
 and take tea there, and are seen in the foyers, but l don't recall any who
 ever lived there permanently-at least
 during my time.
 "One interesting group that can be found in what we boys named Cotton Corner are the big cotton men, brokers and buyers. who congregate there in the afternoon where much of their busi- | ness is transacted. Such men as Scales, Carpenter, Anderson, Sully, Polka
 Brown and the rest of them, are well
 known figures about there. The polo players, too, frequent the Waldorf a great deal, Foxy Keene, Harry Payne Whitney, Larry Waterberry and all the
 English polo players were always about the Waldorf during the polo season Chauncey Depew is one of the best
 known men who is. regular standby at the Waldorf"

 Mir. Dunn started as a real "buttons' at the Waldorf, and by his ability and cleverness was soon promoted by MT Boldt, the manager, to the important position of head of the page depart ment'
 It was during his eight years of ser vice at the Waldorf that he saw and knew some of the most noted men and women of the day; financiers, society moguls, actors, sports--in fact every body in the real Who's Who" of Amer ica or on the other side, MT. Dunn has seen and served.
 He tells many interesting stories of the visits of royalty. and when l asked him who he was more favorably inn pressed with than anybody he had ever seen ong the high muck-a- -mucks,' from a.t the Dig pond" he quickly replied:
 Lord Decies. who married Miss Gould. He was nice chap and as gen erous as they make 'em. Why, after he went back to his home in England what did he do but send, every clerk at the Waldorf case of Scotch whisky. The very best 1t was. too. believe me. | remember how one of the fellows broke a bottle that was lying round loose un- der the desk and the fumes of it pen etrated the seductive nostrils of MT. Boldt, who called the turn on him good and proper.
 Lord Decies and his bridal party the men, l mean-stopped at the Wal dorf when they came for the wedding. and they were a mighty fine lot Of Englishmen, I can tell you. Then there was Lord Camoys. who created a big stir at the Waldorf. and Lord Beres- ford They were the real article in English royalty

 "One thing l think that makes the waldorf so popular is the lobby space, said MT. Dunn. If you will stop and consider the manner in which Il is built, you will see that it is different from any other hotel In New Y Nork Then the excellent service Is another thing that attracts people. There's. no doubt but that the Waldorf attracts the crowd, for you can sit in Peacock alley
