siIbo Acquitted.

The trial of Lieutenant Governor
Theodore G. Bilbo Of MISSISSIPPI for
alleged solicitation of a bride to
help pass a bill through the 1egisIa-
tures of that state ended at Jackson.
July 9, with verdict Of not guilty
The jury occupied the better part of
the day in considering the case, the
first ballot showing five for aequittaI
and seven for conviction. The
minority finally won the others over,
and the friends of the accused made
an enthusiastic demonstration when
the finding of acquittaI was an
nounced. Mr.. Bilbo is a candidate
for governor and will undoubtedly
make lot of campaign thunder out
of the result of this trial.

RABID SPORTSMAN A BORE
Not Even the Most Ardent Woman
Golfer Can Be Compared to
Him.

A writer declares that since WON
an has taken up sport seriously
she has become more of nuisance,
more tyrannical, even more danger
Gus, than in the old I'm only vo-
man, so give me start" days.
Certainly the woman who is badly
bitten by the golf mania, say. is rather
a trial to non-golfers, but the sports
woman, at her worst, is not so great a
bore as the rabid sportsman.
A woman seldom or never let's her
golf handicap swamp all other inter
ests-the feminine mind is not made
that way; but preserve one from the
man to whom sport in one form or an
other is the pivot of his existence.
Your male golf maniac st times
needs not only gag to stop his de-
scription of the game, but strait
waistcoat to prevent him from DEM
onstrating with his walking stick -
to the peril OF the bystanders.
AS for the football maniac-and
especially the maniac who never
played in his life, but can tell you the
name of every player in the leagues,
no fate could be too bad for him. 1t
is a matter for gratitude that, though
women may sometimes take them
selves too seriously over the golf
course, they have not yet developed
any great interest in football When
they do, it viii be time to call for the
revival of old maid, archery, spfllikins,
and the other ladylike games of our

yawl as it rises on a wave, and In g.
twinkling the boys are pulling with
long sweep oars for the pilot boat, two

There is a peculiar sense OF relief
in feeling solid deck beneath ones
feet again. The yawl Is hoisted to
the boats deck, ready to put a pilot
aboard an incoming ship or receive
one from an outging craft The pilot

the entrance to the port of New York

the Ambrose Snow No. 2, the Trenton
No. 4 and the Washington No. 5, sail
ing vessels, and the steamers New
York and New Jersey. This fleet Is on
duty "a hours day for 365 days a
year A total complement of 10 pilots
is maintained on each of the steamers
ready for instant duty at any hour.
Through the long days and nights
these men sweep the horizon for ships
requiring their services.
Twenty years ago there were two
companies Of pilots, the Sandy Hook
Pilots and the New Jersey Pilots as
ISOLATION, each operating Independent
ly. In those days only sailing vessels
we're used and competition was keen
between the two companies Each was
eager to put it's pilot aboard an incom-
ing craft and receive the pilotage fee.
Frequently these pilot ships cruised
500 miles to sea to beat their rivals. 1t
is not to be wondered that the men
have developed vigilance, overlooking
nothing within range OF vision.
