FAMOUS WOMAN, Her
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
By MARY MARSHALL.
August 29-Anna E. Carol, Abby
Hutchinson.

"The great unrecognised member of
Lincoln's Cabinet" Anna e. Carroll, was
born in Missouri 100 years ago today.
For the first -forty-hve years Of her life
she lived in comparative seclusion and 1t
was not till the opening of the civil war
that she showed herself to be q remark
able woman. At that time she freed all
Of her slaves at great personal sacrifice
and, took her stand as an out-and-out
Abolitionist. A speech made by Gen.
Breckenridge against the Union interests
aroused her gifts as . debater and she
wrote a reply which she sent to Wash
ington where her abilities were at once
recognized by the War Department. BY
special request Of the government she
wrote several strongly Union pamphlets
that were put into general circulation.
One of these that aroused much favor
able comment was War Powers Of the
Government"
1t was at Lincoln's request that she
visited St. Louis to form an opinion Of
the probable success OF the expedition
down the Mississippi by gunboats. She
reported unfavorably and the success of
the capture of Vicksburg was achieved
by carrying out her advice and plans.
Needless to say Miss Carrolrs place In
the counsels OF President Lincoln was
not made public at the time to a great
extent for fear Of the prejudice which
would naturally be attached to military
operations planned by a woman. With
out doubt she was the greatest woman
strategist of history.
Abigail Hutchinson. who was born Au-
gust o. 1899. in New Hampshire. was a
gifted singer OF her time and composed
many popular melodies. Probably her
music for Tennyson's kind Words Can
Never Tell" and Ring Out, Wild Bells, -
Is her best known compositions.

Secretary Daniels has just issued

American navy has been increased by
fifty war vessels in full commission

Secretary Of the Navy. To Judge by
the headlines and the press comments
the public thinks that this means fifty
new ships added to our commissioned

sort.
"Of course there have been some
new ships added, but on the other

WILL RECOMMEND
ASPHALTIC PAVING
ENGINEER THORNTON RETURNS
FROM MOBILE AND HAD FAv-
.oRABLE REPORT UPON THAT
CLASS OF PAVEMENT.

City Engineer L. Earle Thornton,
who was commissioned to make a
visit to Mobile to look into the matter
of the worth of asphaltic pavement,
returned yesterday, and announced
that that type of paving was person
ally favored for the three blocks
about the new hospital.
The engineer said that OF 10000 or
more yards of this type of pavement
in Mobile, that city was satisfied with,
and it had shown but little if any
wear. 1t had been in use for about
a year.
Upon the strength of this report,
the commissioners, who held an in
formal session, were almost persua-
ded to endorse that material and to
accept the bid of Powers & Son, of
Memphis, to lay the paving at $3.50
per square yard. Decision in that re-
gard was not final, however, and the
engineer announced that he would
make further inquiry in other cities.
He yesterday wrote for reports from
other southern cities for opinions as
to the asphaltic paving, and final de-
cision in the matter of accepting the
bid was deferred until the regular
meeting of Monday afternoon.

GET RACE COURSE
IN THE BEST SHAPE
CONTRACTOR WAS BUSY YES
TERDAY GETTING TRACK AT
KUPFRIAN'S PARK READY FOR
SERIES OF RACES.

Fair weather having prevailed for
the past two days, the contractor
yesterday started putting the race
track at Kupfrian's park in good
shape, and upon the opening day of
the fair, little more than a week
hence, the place will be in good shape
for all kinds of horse and vehicles.
The racing, by horse, motorcycle,
automobile and bicycle, will be ore of
the biggest features of the fair week,
and any afternoon during the six
days of the fair, it will be possible
to witness some great speeding on the
circular course.
Motorcycle racing will be a daily
feature, while horse racing will take
place on a couple or more days. The
auto speeders viii be turned loose on
the track for possibly a couple of
days, and it was reported last night
that two physicians, who believe there
is big chance for them each to be
declared speed champions of the local
fraternity, had petitioned the fair
management for "a date" on which
they would attempt to make one an
other declare he was beaten. They
both are alleged to be claiming the
auto driving championship, and, it is
said, ''the dust will certainly fly
when they attempt to out-do one an
other in their own machines.
