Speaking OF Gravy.

Several days ago the following
paragraph appeared on the editorial
page of The Albany Herald:
ut takes some OF the pleasure of
living away to have to eat without
butter, but as long as the price
holds firm at so cents a pound a lot
OF folks will take their bread dry
and put little more gravy on the
grist"
"a Macon correspondent who
clipped the paragraph sends 1t back
to us pasted on a postal card says
The Herald. With ink he has un-
derscored the words "a little more
gravy )" and below he writes, Gosh!
Where do they get it?"

fringe around the edge. II it's
chicken or turkey he buys. the price
he pays depends upon the conscience
of the party from whom he buys it.
"Gravy from any of these sources
costs little IL any less than butter at

not represent an economy

Medicine Show Man
Made So, 100000 In
Pooling Credulous

Johannesburg, South Africa, Jan. "a
-Sequah, the most famous itinerant
quaek of his time, who died here pen
niless at the. age of II, went through
fortune estimated at SIS, 00O, 900 obtained
from the credulous.
Sequah was born in London, but
posed as a Red Indian. He had re-
powerful personality that enabled him
to work, his cures He inspired faith,
drew people to him like a magnate
and exercised certain spell of hyp-
motto nature over them. Touring the
country in magnificent style, he would
hire the largest hall in a place, work
up enthusiasm with a brass band and
then proceed to work his miracles Of
cure. He was an exceptionally fine
e1ocutionist, fluent speaker and some
thing Of a singer-ta1ents he later put
to use on the variety stage, after CIV
ing up the medicine business. An
other natural endowment was great
physical strength. He could pull out
the most obstinate tooth, even if he
took a piece Of jaw bone with it, and
then make the patient swear before
the audience that the operation was
painless. When he applied his magic
oils against rheumatism, he gave the
patient such a severe rubbing that the
original pain was forgotten. Many
patients who hobbled on the stage
came off. without crutches, owing to
faith and excitement. But relief was,
Of course, only temporary.
Sequah, whose real name is said to
have been Marley, reached the zenith
of his fame in the early '90s. He was
everywhere denounced as an imposter,
but that only increased, his following
among the credulous masses.

vLADIvOSTOK'S
CONGESTION IS
GETTING WORSE
War Supplies Pile Up and
Relief Measures Fail To
Prove Adequate:

Vladivostok, Feb. 25-Congestion
of war supplies at V1adivostok con-
tinuse to grow worse. At present
there are twenty-eight steamers in
the harbor or waiting in the bay to
enter the harbor. Pier facilities are
lacking to accommodate these steam
ers.s The thermometer registers
twenty degrees below zero, and the
extreme temperature and ice are
adding to the confusion. The cranes
on the piers are not heavy enough to
lift locomotives, and other heavy
weights, and consequently lighters
must be utilized for this purpose.
AS there are only sufficient lighters
to unload four steamers, the handling
of LOGON olives is greatly delayed.
Four hundred and fifty American
locomotives were, sold to Russia for
use in speeding up war supplies, and
so far less than fifty of these have
been unloaded at V1adivostok. Amer
lean manufacturers are also sending
twenty thousand steel cars to Vladi-
vostok. Heavy floating cranes were
brought from Japan to handle the
war supplies but it is almost impossi-
BILE to move these in the ice, and they
are of an old type not well adapted
to the present work.
Because of delay, demurrage
charges are piling up against the
freight. The shores of the harbor
are blocked with cargo, and it seems
inpossib BILE to get cars to move this
out. The government says it has
three thousand cars at Lake Baikal,
but these are not coming with any
regularity to Vladivostok and the sit
uation seems to grow more confusing
every day.
Barbed wire, cotton and rails make
up a great part of the cargo which is
now reaching here. Various depart
ments which are handling the cargo,
insist on different sorts of supplies
being taken to, different piers. The
result is that somes hips unload less
than 100 tons a day and in many
cases the demurrage charges against
one ship reach $1,000 a day

ANNIVERSARIES
OF RING BATTLES

18s7-Harry TrendaI1, we1terweight
boxer, born in st. Louis. Harry is the
hero of the Mound City fanatics, who
look upon him as one of the greatest
men of his weight in the ring. Half
a century or so ago the Missouri
metropolis was the fight center of
America, and Mike McCoo1e, Tom
Allen and several other champions
and near-champions dwe1t under the
Ann Hiser bush, but st. Louis has
probably had fewer native boxers of
prominence than any other big city in
the United States. When a local boy
does succeed in making a fair showing
the st. Louis sports grow wild with en-
thusiasm. AS a lightweight Trendau
has put up good fights against Willie
Richie, Joe Mandot, Leach Cross
Young Saylor, and numerous other
good men, Packey. Mcfarland gave
him a pretty thorough drubbingr in
1909, but the Stockyards favorite had
a big advantage in poundage. Not
long ago a Mound City bard broke
into song about Trendall, comparing
him more than favorably with Column
bus, Newton, Shakespeare and the
Wright brothers, and 1auding him for
having demonstrated that st. Louis
boy could fight" TrendaH is 5 feet
inches, Irish-American, and now
does his best work in hte nefghbor-
hood of 40 pounds.
