of Mrs. J. Addison Hayes, the last surviving
child of President JefTerson Davis,
of the Confederate States of America,
was made to the United Confederate Veterans
in a general order issued on July
19. The body was cremated at the Riverside
crematory, Denver. The cremation
was private and an efTort was made to
keep it a secret.
oienness in ine navy: sicaness aboard
the Georgia and other cattleships, which
has been diagnosed as typhoid fever, is
alleged to have been caused by eating
unwholesome potatoes. The stewards of
the ship have refused to cook any more
of the supply on board and are purchasing
the supplies in local stores.
Hunting With a Kodak: W. D. Boyce,
the Chicago publisher, wno intends to
photograph wild animals in the territory
in which Theodore Roosevelt now is
shooting them, has left Chicago to prepare
for his trip to Africa. New contrivances
will be carried by Mr. Boyce,
by which photographs will be taken at
twenty miles' distance from balloons and
smail aeroplanes. The party does not
expect to fire a shot in the hunting
grounds.
Charter Government for Rome, Ga:
Rome's new city charter, which goes
into effect August 1, will make membership
on the city council, board of public
works, board of education and other city
officers less desirable than heretofore,
because of certain clauses of restriction
thrown around the offices. One section
provides that no officer of the city of
Rome "shall be interested directly or indirectly
in any contract with the city of
Rome." Another clatise prevents close
relations of officials from holding any
office in the city's employ.
The Galveston Sea Wall Saves City:
While no lives were lost in Galveston
during the hurricane and flood, it was reported
that sixteen persons perished on
the tarpon Ashing pier at North Jetty,
six miles from the city, across the bay.
Galveslon was saved by her seventeenfoot
$2,000,000 sea wall, elevated to a
point above the danger line. The hurricane
resembled the disastrous storm
of 1900.
The Boll Weevil Lessened: Prof. W. D.
Hunter, the government boll weevil expert,
made a public report last week,
saying the presence of the weevil is not
so bad as at the same time last year. .
Dry weather is destroying Afty per cent
of the weevils.
A Flight Over the English Channel:
Herbeflt Latham, the French aviator,
made a daring, but unsuccessful attempt
to cross the English channel in his monoplane
last week. He got away splendidly,
under perfect conditions, from the
top of Chalk cliff, at Sangatte, and had
covered over half the distance, at an
average height of 500 feet, when the
motor Blowed down and he was obliged
to descend. The air space of the wings,

however, kept the machine afloat, and
the monoplane, lying like a wonderful
bird, was stretched out on the water
when the French torpedo boat destroyer
Harpon came alongside, and picked up
the aviator.
Successful Airship Flights: Showing
more confidence In himself th^n he has
exhibited before this season, Orville
Wright made two very successful flights
last week at Fort Myer, Va. The first
flight lasted'25 minutes and 18 seconds,
The second, which continued until dark'ness
prevented Mr. Wright from remaining
longer in the air, was for half an
hour's duration. During the B5 minutes
the flyer was in the air it covered practically
37 miles.
Persia?The New Shah, Ahmed Mirza,
who lias been declared shah of Persia under
a regency, is twelve years of age
and was officially designated heir apparent
when his father accepted the throne.
Mohammed Ali, the deposed shah, took
refuge in the Russian legation when the
Insurgent, or nationalist, troops entered
Teheran. His dethronement is the direct
result of his tyranny over the people
of Persia. On many occasions he had
promised them the constitution, but each
time broke his promise. When the Moslem
hierarchy excommunicated him and
declared the war a holy one his enemies
gathered strength, and his supporters
weakened and opened negotiations for
peace.
SURPRISED HIM
Doctor's Test of Food.
A doctor in Kansas experimented with
his boy in a test of food and gives the
particulars. He says:
"I naturally watch the effect of different
foods on patients. My own little son.
a lad of four, had been ill with pneumonia
and during his convalescence did nov
seem to care for any kind of food.
"1 knew something of Grape-Nuts and
its rather fascinating flavour and particularly
of its nourishing and nerve-building
powers, so I started the boy on
Grape-Nuts and found from the first disn
that he liked it.
"His mother gave it to him steadily and
he began to improve at once. In lesB
than a month he had gained about eight
pounds and soon became so well and
strong we had no further anxiety about
him.
"An old patient of mine, 73 years old,
came down with serious stomach trouble
and before I was called had got so weak
he could eat almost nothing, and was in
a serious condition. He had tried almost
every kind of food for the sick without
avail.
"I immediately put him on Grape-Nuts
with good, rich milk and just a little
pinch of sugar. He exclaimed when I
came next day 'Why doctor I never ate
anything so good or that made me feel
so much stronger.'
"I am pleased to say that he got well
on Grape-Nuts, hut he had to stick to it
for two or three weeks, then he began to
branch oitf a little with rice or an egg or ,
two. He got entirely well in spite of his
almost hopeless condition. He gained
22 pounds in two months which at his
age is remarkable.
"I could quote a list of cases where
