snce as result Of the activity Of the
Kaokuk Retailers league. The legis-
,.tiye committee Of that organization
nj. morning met in an Informal con-
terence with Mayor Moorhead and
commissioner Collins when the ques-
Am Of increasing the license fees of
neddlers was discussed at length.
The adjustment OF the fees for ped
dler,s licenses Is at the discretion OF
the mayor who stated. following the
conference, that new scale of fees
would be put IN use at once. The
amount Of the fee will depend upon
the kind Of merchandise which the
neddler has to sell. In the past q
~ Of 81 q day has been charged all
peddlers. this amount being reduced
TO so cents q day when the peddler
remained for several days. The new
scale Of fees will vary from 81 to SO
per day. Shoe string and pencil ped
Aler, win be charged but 81 per day
for 4 city license. Peddlers selling
other kinds Of merchandise will be
charged either S. per day or $40 per
day depending upon what they ar.
selling.
Protection to home merchants who
contribute to the support Of the city,
against transients who sell their
wares here and carry the money away
is the reason for securing this change.
1t il q matter that has been given q
great deal OF consideration in many
other cities, and, in fact. most cities
have long ago taken steps to protect
their home merchants against tran
silent peddlers. In some cities the
fee for license has been increased

CITY OF THE DEAD
Wonders Of Fatehpur Sikri, in
Center of HinduStan.
City Of Untrodden Streets Which for
Nearly Four Centuries Has Been
Deserted by all Save the Jack.
al and the Leopard.

London.-To the south Of Agra, in
the center Of Hindustan. lies the
great city Of Fatehpur Sikri, city Of
untrodden streets, which for nearly
four centgries has been deserted by
all save the jackal' and the leopard
and a few humble weavers who find
refuge beneath It's lofty walls, writes
p. T. Etherton In London Graphic
History has no parallel in the astound
ing collection OF palaces and halls,
courtyards, the whole created, one
might say on the spur of the moment,
as the outcome Of a kingly whlm,
and as suddenly deserted. The city
of Fatehpur Sikri stands, as it was
left, in a state Of astonishing preser-
walton.
Mohammedan history tells us that
the creation Of Fatehpur Sikri was due
to the prophecy Of saint. The EN-
peror Akbar, who ruled in India in
the sixteenth century, halted on the
site of the city when returning from
his great conquests Of western India,
to interview the saint in question and
secure his prayers for a son and heir,
Akbar being then childless, Tho ad.
vice Of the saint was to the effect
that the emperor send for his So
called Portuguese Christian wife to re-
side at Fatehpur, This was done, and
in due course a son was born to Ak
bar, who afterwards became the EN-.
peror Jerangir 1t is said, however,
that the child may have been one
substituted by the saint for royal
infant that was still.born, To com.
memorate the birth Akbar caused the
great city to be erected, and It Is a
lasting memorial to the genius Of It's
builder and the skill displayed IN the
carving and decoration Of its numer-
Gus palaces. It's lofty walls extend
Cor seven miles, and the city itself
stands upon commanding range Of
hills, approach thereto being by seven
different gateways. The photographs
show what q beautiful city 1t was,
and interest IN It was enhanced by
the mystery which surrounds It. All
that Is known Is that It was occupied
for q few years, and then abandoned,
the court being removed to Agra,
There are buildings innumerabe in
this weird city Of the dead, among
the most remarkable being the Panch
Mahal, fiyo.storied structure, which
stands unriyaled, since every one Of

tiers are supported is OF different
design

said that each column was entrusted

KILL FAMOUS SHARK
''0ld Tom" Put to Death at Port
Royal HarbOr.
Jamaica Authorities End Existence Of
Fish That Was One Of Sights Of
West INDEBTED Regularly by
Men Of British Warshlp Fleet.

New York-Old Tom, a shark that
has lived in the waters of Port Royal
harbor, Jamaica, for 20 years and Is
known to thousands of travellers and
seagoing men, was put to death by the
island authorities several weeks ago,
according to officers Of the schooner
Caleb Martin, arrived here with cocoa
nuts from Kingston.
The famous fish was one OF the
sights of the West Indies. He was to
DE seen every day In the clear waters
Of Port Royal, and was fed regularly
by the men of the British warship
feet stationed there.
He preyed upon the other fish in the
harbor and was equally quick in at
tacking human beings, His presence
precluded the possibility Of sea bath
ing by the sailors, and desertions
among the crew OF the British war YES
sells we're few, as none had the forti-
tude necessary to swim ashore when
Old Tom was In the vicinity.
The shark always could be found
near the warships, and the boatloads
of tourists who daily went out to see
him were never disappointed. II he
chanced to stray away for few min
utes, the loud beating Of tin pan
would invariably bring him back.
During the 20 years that Old Tom
has been a familiar object, number
OF persons have lost their lives In the
waters of Port Royal, due, 1t Is be-
ljeyed, to his man.eating procllvities'
He was never seen, however, to Kill
person until few weeks ago, when he
attacked a native boy who had fallen
overheard from warship cutter. The
sailors tried hard 70 save the boy and
although their efforts were in vain,
several well.dlrected blows crippled
Old Tom so badly that his capture, a
few hours later, was an easy matter,
When the boys death was reported,
the authorities decided that Old Tom
must go. He was barely able to swim
when they found him near one Of the
warships and harpooned him, The
carcass was taken ashore, and after
being mounted will be placed In mu'
scum at Kingston.
The shark was nearly twenty feet
long. Native fishermen said he had
the most vicious teeth of any shark
ever killed in the vicinity Of Port
Royal. Among the articles found In
his stomach were three fathoms OF
chain, q gold watch, a marlin pin, and
n miscellaneous collection OF nails,
bolts and other small objects,
