Preparations for Hamilton Com manderys field day at RivercIiff, Wednesday, September 15. are pro- gressing rapidly with the prospect that the day will be one of the larg- est and most pleasantt ever witnessed by the Knights Templar of this sec ton.

The line of parade will be Broad street to Fairfield avenue to Courtland street, to State street to Main street to Fairfield avenue to the railroad viaduct where the members will board special trolley cars for Riverc1in.

We shall be rich enough and generous enough to contribute Hberally toward the help of the needy; to assist in the recon struction of some of the ruined na- tions; to give employment to the mass of immi grants who. will probably rush to our shores; to@compete vigorously with the stronger nations in seeking foreign trade.
 Shall we have made heavy sa cri- fees and assumed serious risks for the sake of humanity, or shall we have ceased advocating the cause of the oppressed of the other countries? Shall we find that on account of the enormous profits exacted from the dire necessities of the be1ligerents we have devoted our attention more to
 matriaI gain than to the moral and spiritual influences which should ac- company our traditions regarding hu- man liberty? We are on the eve of. worldwide changes in every depart ment of life.

MUTToN, MONEY AND DRESS.
Eccentric Henry cavendish and Some
 Of His Queer Ways.

0f ITS 0&O0ST VFdyOs
 Whenever Henry Cavendfsh, the fa- nous English chemist and physicist, entertained his guests he would always give them the same fare-a leg of mutt ton. A story goes that one day when four friends were coming it was asked him what should be ordered for din- ner. He answered, "A leg of 1autton.'' ssS1r,' was the reply, that will not be enough for five" Well, then, get two,' g said the host.
 When this eccentric gentleman died he was the largest holder of bank stock in England He owned f1, ,157 ,OOO in different public funds, besides freehold property of f8,O00 a year and a bal ance of E5o,OOo on account This large income was, allowed to accumulate without attention. On one occasion, when the bankers had in hand bal- ance of f80,OO0, they thought it well to acquaint MT. Cavendish with the fact.
 eff it is any trouble to you will take it out of your hands. Do not come here to plague me.
 Mot the least trouble to us, sir, but we thought you might like some of it to be invested
 tsWeH, what do you want to do?''
 Perhaps you would like half of 1t invested ?'
 s.Do So, do-so, and do not come here to bother me or I'll remove ft,' was the churlish finale of the interview.
 Cayendfsh was seventy eight years of age when he died in 1910, and he had never changed the fashion of his dress for sixty years.-London Graphic.

 For Foreign Trade.

Capt. William Laugharn. of the steamer Lucy. .Neff, Wilmington, Del, which cleared from this pert yester- day in ballast for New York con firms reports Which have reached Bridgeport from sea sources that the old sailing vessel is again coming in- to its own.
 Sail is quickly replacing steam charters along the Atlantic coast and in the Pacific the square rigged ship is5 again 1ooming up prominently on the sea where for nearly a quarter of Ia century it has been on the decline
 Officers of the naval militia, re- gently returned from an extensive cruise from Norfolk, Va, to Port land, Me, report that navy. officers declare the European war has nearly eliminated the steamer vessel from coastwise trade.
 So scarce have become vessels of foreign countries on. the sea- that every American steel steam propelled vessel is grabbed at charter rates that
 make it nearly impossible to engage them for coastwise purposes
 In consequence of this tendency the old sailing vessel has again been resurrected from the ship-yards and elsewhere ito coast between Norfolk and other northern ports, carrying coal northward and lumber south. &
 Capt. Laugharn adds that any steam vessel of 100 tons or more can obtain Valuable cargoes among the West Indies or Northern coast of South America The freight rates have been raised to a point where boat ow11ers are reaping a big harvest of profits~5with everything that will float on the move.

As Darwin long ago showed, the earthworm is the farmers friend. It's burrows drain and aerate the soil, while the earth which has passed through its body is finely divided and is constantly being brought to the sur face from lower levels. Its body is adapted to the burrowing habit. The pointed head end is devoid of feel CTS and eyes, and the foot stumps are only represented by rows of bristles, which can be felt if the finger be pass ed along the body from back to front. There are no jaws, but the muscular part of the digestive tube. acts as a kind of pump for taking in food. This includes plants and animals.

1t used to be on Peachtree that
when the fashion parade set IN in the
afternoon, all eyes were turned toward
the pretty faces, but now the faces
pass unnoticed, and every head is
bent, every glance turned earthward,
to see the freak shoe styles and what
ever else there is to be seen in the
nine inch space between where the
skirt ends and the pavement begins.

store where Buster" had slept dur
ing business hours while not deliver
ing groceries behind Mulligatawney-

pulled the grocery wagon.
In moment Of forgetfulness BUS
ter" it is charged, stole fine fat
ham and sack of sugar from the
grocery, which he snapped to another
coon porter for beer stolen from To-
cal saloon.
When Buster, who looks thirty
years young if day, appeared in

boys sack coat and knickerbockers,
pleading extreme youth as an excuse
for the alleged fall from grace.

j. s. CONVICT IS
SENT To THE CHAIR

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 2S.-Tom Daily,
convict No A, at the United States
federal prison here was sent to the
chair at six o'clock this morning-but
he still lives to tell about it, for it was
BARRIERS chair instead of the cleo
trio one.
Tom has been the official barber at
the prison for some time past, at
least he was until he climbed over Z
thirty-foot fence about two months
ago and went on a protracted sight-see
ing tour. The hounds followed him
part of the way but they lost the
scent, and he had a pretty nice time
of it until the strong arm Of the law
got another grip on his collar.
81 know I'll be sent to the chair foi
this" said Convict A, who has a sense
of humor, and so he was. He went
back to work as prison barber this
morning.
Daily was sent up from Atlanta with
five-year sentence, for breaking in
to a postoffice.
