Lew Negroes Started Custom
 ! Many Years Ago.

Mephis. Tenn, May 15.-While
 the das when every steamboat and
 every rfer man had d nickname have
 passed. many of the boats still are dubbed unofficially names by the ne- groes who work around the levees ana the boats. According to Captain J. W. Nipple. one of the oldest river men in Memphis and one who has handled steamboats from Pittsburg to- New Orleans and Captain F. w.. Davis, wharf master, thirty years ago every steamboat and every riverman' had a nickname.
 The practice came into use among the negroes soon after the war. Az that time each boat was given name which corresponded with some pecu- liaY construction or physical charac. terlstic- off the boat.
 Men Also Nicknamcd. Nt.
 Following the practice of hickman. ing the boats the white river men be- gan to give each other names char "a acteristic Of their personalities. y
 This practice continued for many -then pegan to decline eambeat men ir later years were referred to by their titles rather than by nicknames. While the fashion of giving nicknames to the rivermen be- gan to die out the custom of calling the boats by unofficial names has continued up to the present time though not with the same preva' ience it once had Let a new boat with some marked peculiarity appear on, the river sand immediately the, ne- groes will dub it with name in keeping with that characteristic which will last longer than the boat ever will.
 Called Broad Horn.'
 The latest illustration of the prac- flee was shown when the excursion steamer 6. W. Robertson came to Memphis Immediately the levee negroes c,lled it the Broad Horn because aofthe wide space between the ismokestacAs, and the Broad Horn 1t will remain among the negroes un- til long after it ceases to be steam boat Other boats now running on the river which possess nicknames among the negroes are lHe whisper, called the Speak Easy; the Ferd Herold, called "Old Iron Jaw" be- cause of tie steel construction, and the Stackei Lee, called the Stack io' Dollars.f
 < Just hoy the Charles H. Organ gets the name of Johnny Crossover'', is told by Captain Davis. Before the old Organ was put intoa the Mound City, Ark, ferry business the side wheel steamer John Overton was per-; that service. On account of ' the numerous cross river trips which the Overton made the negroes re- eerred tosher as the Johnny Cross over" When the Overton was suc- ceeded by the Organ it left behind its nickname, and today when a levec negro sees the Organ coming down stream he will say Oar comes de Johnny Crossover.

Gradually one of the old land
marks of Crested Butte is disap-
pearing as the old Julian livery
stables are being torn down this
week by, Mooney & Kerr, the lum-
Der to be used in the remodeling of

hoped that ere long new up-to-

on the ground that is being vacated
which is an ideal site and good

Claims He Has
Perpetual Motion

A Cleveland, Ohio, man has in
vented new moter that is claimed
will revolutionize the driving power
of the world and it is nearly per-
petual motion. The moter is run
by sixteen high power springs, one
of which is always rewinding while
another is unwinding and thus after
it is started the machine needs no
attention. The inventor also claims
that almost any horsepower can be
attained that is desired.
