SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb 16.-South
Carolina has been accused OF many
things, but here is new one. The go.
ing is so hard lover home" that it has
become actually necessary to have the
dogs used in hunting to wear shoes
The common yellow dog may have his
day some time, but just now it is the
fine animal with the pedigree, which
is breaking into the new fashion.
F. C. Cler a veteran Savannah shoe
maker, has been commissioned by Da
vid Woostencroft, manager of the
Goodhope Camp, near Ridgeland, to
make a complete set of shoes for ten
dogs, and he has now completed the
order, The shoes cost forty dollars
The purchaser explains that the shoes
are needed for bird dogs and others
used in deer and fox hunting In order
to protect their feet from the misery
of the cockspur, or sandspur.
The soles of the dog shoes are cir
GUAR and trifle larger than sill

leather The tops, which are laced
around the dogs legs are of vici kid.
The foot is forced into the shoe top,
which resembles in a general way the
leg of a small sock and the lacings,
which are exactly the same in type
as that used in human footwear, are
then drawn tightly and tied. Mr. Dog
may then fidget and fret, but it is a

Edwin Mckinney of Chicago, repre-
senting the promoters interested in
the proposed interurban system which
involves an extension to Richmond
from Portland, Ind, was in the city
today comforting with members of the
electric railway committee of the
Commercial club and Secretary E. M.
Haas regarding the available entrance
into the city from the north. He will
be in this territory for several days,
looking over the prospects. Fred A.
Dolph, attorney of Chicago, will con-
fer with the local committee next
week regarding the proposed interur-
ban line.
The only portion. of the line that has
not been graded and ready for the
laying of track is from Union City to
Richmond Two approaches to the
city are being considered, it was learn
ed today. One is across the new
Twelfth street bridge and the other
reaches the city near Morton lake. If
the latter location is decided upon the
track will be built across the bridge
at the west end of the lake.
Mr. Mckinney informed the local
committee that the final plans for the
system are being held in allegiance
pending the extension to Richmond.
He said he had no authority to make
any proposition to Richmond or the
Commercial club and this will proba-
bly, be considered next week at the

AUTO MAIL ROUTES
RAISE few KICKS

I'VE are not hearing any complaints
on the new rural route now" said
Verlin Poland, carrier on Route B. "Ir
spite of the bad roads we are not hav
ing any trouble in getting around oul
routes and the farmers are not kicking
any more on the automobile system,
he said
Assistants are still being used by
the carriers although as soon as the
roads get in better condition they hope
to dispense with their assistants and
handle each fifty mile route with one
automobile.
AS soon as the weather permits the
farmers to relocate many of the mail
boxes, Postmaster Beck says that he
will make a personal inspection of all
the routes and demand that many of
the farmers place their mail boxes
closer to the road and in better post
ions for the carriers. An order to
this effect has been made by the post
office officials at Washington.

COUNTY INTENDS
TO PUSH BRIDGE
DESPITE DISPUTE

Two members of the board of county
commissioners intimated today that
they would not allow the fight between
County Surveyor Peacock and Bridge
Engineer j. w. Mueller to delay the
preliminary work on the south side
bridge any longer than is absolutely
necessary. Both William Cheesman
and w. o. Seaney were at the court
house this morning.
Both men declared that they believe
sction should be taken by the com.
missioners next Saturday to place the
engineer question at issue. In event
Surveyor Peacock insists that he be
given the contract to make the plans
and specifications for all the bridge
work, including the south side and the
Main street bridges. 1t viii mean a
litigation in court between Peacock
and Mueller.
I'VE have found practically no bona
fide criticism OF Mueller's work" said
Mr. Cheesman. 1--WE have no reason
to believe that his work has been I'M
satisfactory. The commissioners have
had no intention of giving Mueller all
the bridge work and have offered Pea
cock some of the work but he has re-
fused it. We will act according to the
law and this will probably mean that
Mueller and Peacock will have to fight
Il out in court If Peacock insists that
he be given the contract for the south
side bridge"

gRPET DEFENSE
IS PREPARED

CHICAGO. Feb. 16.-When William
Fl. Orpet faces jury on the charge OF
having murdered Frances Lambert in
the woods at Lake Forest, fashiona-
BILE suburb, the condition OF Orpets
mind at the time of his arrest will be
brought to the attention of the court
in an effort to discount all the things
he has told the Lake county authori-
ties about the tragedy.
James II. Wilkerson, former United
States district attorney. will head the
counsel for Orpet, and while he will
not plead insanity, he will hold that
Orpet is not responsible for the things
he has said. owing to confusion of his
mental processes, due to excitement
over his arrest and worry over Miss
Lambert's death.
Hints of a third girl, a resident of
Madison. Wis, where Orpet attended
the University of Wisconsin, being in
volved in Orpet's life, today added a
new touch to the case. Orpet's init
macy with Marian Lambert was ad-
mitted by the youth. Report has it that
he was engaged to Miss Celestine
Youker. of De kalb, ILL.,, and that this
was his motive for wishing Miss Lam
bert out of the way.

OF YUAN WAS A FARCE;
correspondent EXPLAINS way

the United States at the last Presi-
Dental contest. It is a Yuan move,
and since the secret motives of mems
minds are not open for judgment |
will not say that it is not the result of
a deep and patriotic conviction that
only the establishment of an empire
with himself in the throne can save
China. But the pretext of poular agi-
tation and an irresistible demand are
just-well. let lis say etiquette. in the
same way at Yuans first refusal was
Oriental politeness.
1t does not follow that the change
may not be the best thing for China.
DR. Frank Goodnow, of Johns Hopkins
University is not an admirer of EN-
pires in themselves, but he came to
the conclusion that a monarchy was
the only government for China. Many
other foreigners hold the same view.
The average Chinaman does not care d
straw He understands an Emperor
but has no knowledge of presidents.
The President OF republic and the
president of a sugar company are
alike represented by the same Chi
nese characters and / am told that 1t
has been impossible to convey to the
masses any notion of any kind OF rule
other than autocratic.

Pretext of Popular Demand
and Agitation Used by Pol

BY INTERNATIONAL NEWS SER
VICE CORRESPONDENT.


VICE CORRESPONDENT.
PEKlNG. Dec. 13.--(Mal to N. Y)
In great building in the West City
of Picking, a building which was at
one time a Parliament house, the vot.
ers had just gone through the last act
of the farce Of voting the republic out
and the empire in. 1t was dull, not
to say dismal spectacle.
So that voters might not lose their
way and foreign observers might be
duly impressed, every lamp post on
the streets leading to the hall bore pla-
cards giving directions with more
maps of the city. At the hall officials
in uniform examined the credentials
of voters or visitors and conducted
them to the place where they belonged
visitors to the gallery, voters to the
former Senate House.
Casting His Vote.
The voter was supplied with piece
OF white paper on which he made the
Chinese character which signified
whether he was for or against the
election of Yuan as Emperor. Having
cast his vote and placed it on the bal
lot box he retired.
The voters comprised Manchus.
Mongolians, Meritorious Persons and
Profound Scholars, and their duty was
to select 1874 men who should act in
the final assembly which was suppos-
ed to speak the voice of China.
Everything was very well stage man
aged and the voters were all in ap-
pearance as free as air to express
their opinions. There was no enthusi-
asm such as Occidentals are accus-
toned in even their minor electoral
contests, but everything was orderly
and quiet and the externals left moth
ing to be desired
Election Sham.
When ! add that the result was a
National Assembly which gave it's
1898 votes solidly for monarchy you
will be able to form an opinion rs to
the freedom of voting. The truth is
that considered as specimen of gov
eminent by the will of the people, the
whole business was an elaborate sham.
The monarchy movement was engi-
neered from Peking, and the present
government, which is Yuan, ran it.
President Yuan is just as reluctant
to become emperor of China as Theo-
dore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft,
and Woodrow Wilson were respective
ly reluctant to become President of
