NOT ALL ARE FOND or MUSIC
Some Of the Lower Animals Have a
Positive Distaste for II, the
Camel Particularly.

"If you want to make a camel run
play some music within his hearing"
was dictum laid down at the Royal
Asiatic society in London by Prof Ina
vat Khan. He was lecturing on the
subject of the effect of music upon
animals He told some singular stories
Of experiments which he and others
had conducted over number of years.
In India houses are set apart for
the musicians, and goats, buffaloes.
sheep, chickens and other animals
are kept in those houses in order that
the musicians may test their sensitive
ness to music One COW, said the pro-
fessor, became particularly fond of
music, and showed decided prefer
ence for one certain Indian instru-
ment. It takes, however, long time
to make horse fond of music, and 1t
prefers wind to stringed instruments.
At the sound of the bagpipe the cows
began to jump and dance, but whether
this was to be regarded as a sign OF
approval or disapproval the professor
did not say Birds began to dance
when guitar was played before them,
and this evidently was intended to sig
Nifty approval, because on one occasion
when the music ceased one of the
birds went up to the player and tapped
his cheek with its beak, signifying that

RECORD FOR STEADY PLAYING
In Eight Years Of Play Captain George
Mcbride Of Washington Has Missed
But Seven Contests.

Years ago there was a wonderful
ball player who was always injured at
the critical stages Of a pennant race,
and 1t is estimated that injuries, which
kept this player out of the game for
weeks, and even months, had deprived
his club Of three pennants. Fans and
scribes admitted his worth as a player,
but came to the conclusion that he
was not of such great value to the club
because he was out Of the game SO
much.
Figuring on this basis, which is un-
doubtedly correct, George Mcbride is
the most valuable man that can be
found anywhere. In eight years of ma.
ior league playing Mcbride has missed
but six days play and but seven

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga, July "a
An investigating committee of the
Georgia prison commission visited the
state penitentiary here today and in
quired into circumstances surround
ing the recent sensational attack on
Leo Frank. convicted of murder and
sent here for life from Fulton county
by fellow convict, also "lifer." The
committee is headed by Governor
Harris, and will complete it's labors
this afternoon.
William Green, the assailant, who
has refused to discuss the tragedy
since its occurrence, told Governor
Harris that fear of mob attacking
the prison and attempting to lynch
Frank led him to commit the deed. He
expressed no regret for his action,
saying he believed he did right. Green
has been closely confined since his at
tack and has developed a sulIen
morose disposition bordering closely
on melancholic insanity.
The would-be assassin told Governor
Harris and members of the commit
tee that he secured the knife with
which he slashed Franks throat from
the prison kitchen several days before
the crime was committed and kept
the weapon hidden until opportunity
came to use it upon his intended vic
tim.
Franks condition today continues
to improve and further complications
are no longer feared.

that responsible position with great
satisfaction.

having been born December 10th, 1874.
He was Confederate veteran, mem

greater part of his long career, and
member of Americus lodge, No. 13, F

LONDON, July 24.--Today's news
from the European war continues to
center in the near east where the
three German armies are battling
with the Russians for possession of
Warsaw, with the ultimate outcome in
the balance and both armies claiming
full confidence.
Perhaps the most feature of the days
news is contained in the announce
ment from Petrograd that German
forces have succeeded in cutting their
way to point six miles southwest of
the great fortress of Ivangorod, which
is one of the main defenses of the Pol
ish capital, and has been relied upon
by the Russian to effectually stop the
Teuton rush through the Cars terri
tory. 1t is conceded in Petrograd dis
patches that the Germans have sue
ceeded in completely smashing form
liable barbed-wire entanglements in
that area, but the same statement as
serts the Teutons were subsequently
forced to retire, after sustaining un-
usually heavy losses.
Further south from Ivangorod des-
perate fighting is in progress, the Rus
sian censor declining to pass details
of the encounter in that area From
both Berlin and Vienna, however come
reports that Teuton armies are now
fighting virtually along the line of the
Lublin-C -Chelm railroad, Russia's main
line of communication with the bas.
of supplies at Brest-Litovck. Details
of the encounter are deleted by the
German and Austrian censors, but cor
respondents have been permitted to
assert that important events are trans
piring in that region.
Petrograd advices late this afternoon
say the Germans attacked an unnamed
village along the line of the Lublin
railroad, but add that after fierce en-
gagement the Teutons retired beyond
their original position, pursued by
cavalry and shelled by heavy
field howitzers.
The impression is growing among
London military observers that the
Russians have determined to save
Warsaw and that no retreat beyond
their present lines is contemplated by
the Slav commanders This view of
the situation is strengthened by receipt
Of news from Riga that new German
army corps recently landed at Libau is
being hurried to the Warsaw front. 1t
is also asserted that the Germans real
ize the immensity of the task before
them and that additional reinforce
ments are to be added to the armies in
Poland before the final assault on War
saws inner defenses is inaugurated.
Along practically the whole of the
western front comparative quiet con-
tinues today. Only minor engage
ments are reported between the Aus
trian and Italian armies in the south.
