I BRIGHT ANO BREEZY | 1 "AU The News." J North Georgia's Great J Daily. * - >$ Only 50 Cents a Month. 3 ESTABLISHED 1887. HE BROKE HERHEART Young Gary’s Love Grew Cold. STRANGELOVE STORY New England Girl’s Mad Infatuation for a Flo Wa Youth. -60 V, BLOIHAM IS APPEALED TO “My Daughter is Dying For Love,” Says the Mother. w ♦GARY REFUSED TO ACCEPT LETTERS She Mailed to Him, or Tho e Sent Through a Friend—Was He Only Flirting With Her? Ocala, Fla., Sept. 3.—One of the .s ‘ ranges t stories of fair maid’s wiles and cruel man’s indifference ever chronicled has come to light here. Several months ago a beautiful young woman came here from the East and at once became a great so* cial favorite. She was accomplished, witty and altogether charming. It was not unnatural that she should at tract many ardent admirers. But a young fellow named G ary was flavored by the fair New Englander, and he was constant in bis attentions. Gary was a mere boy still in school, but he laid such seige to the citadel of the maid’s heart that at last there was perfect understanding between the two. The girl went to her homejn Mass achusetts at last, but fast flying trains carried letters constantly between the lovers. This continued for sometime, but absence evidently cooled Gary’s ardor, for he ceased to reply-to the girl’s letters. But she wrote con stantly, and at last Gary refused to take them from the office. When a maid sets her head to win a youth, however, it takes a deal to side track her. The girl then sent her let ters in care of a friend who was to de liver them to Gary by hand. He was obstinate, though, and refused to ac cept the missives. The mother of the young lady has written to the governor, asking that he intercede wtth the obstinate boy to save her daughter from dying of a broken heart. The same kind of an appeal was also made to Dr. Clute, of the Florida State College. It is learned that the girl is coming back to Ocala to plead with her recreant lover. He is very indifferent about the matter, and expresses'no interest one way or the other. The girl is said to belong to a very wealthy and influential family of Taun ton, Massachusetts.

I Miners Are Out From the Strike —Cost of Deputy Sheriffs to One Company Has Been SII,OOO. Pittsburg, Sept. 3. —The settlement of the coai strike on tne basis of the proposition now under oonsideratioA at tb» Columbus conference, wilt have no effect upon the future action of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal com pany, according to the. statement of President DeArmitt. Said he: "Even if ti.e great bituminous coal •trike is settled in every state aud dis trict involved, and all the strikers re turn to work pending arbitration on a new price, the miners of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company still have to fight it out with the company and return to work to carry out the con tract legally signed and accepted by the workmen. ” In the last great strike DeArmitt's employes were induced to join the strikers and it was three months after the strike was settled before the miners of the New York and Cleveland com pany returned to work at the same price they were receiving when they quit. President DeArmitt figures that the strike has so far cost the miners of ' the country $8,000,000. He based this statement upon the supposition that 100,000 men were out and that they av eraged $lO per week. These men have forfeited $15,000 in wages to the com pany by breaking their contracts. The fight of the DeArmitts against the miners has also been a very costly one. Already about SII,OOO has been spent by the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company for wages aud board of deputy ! sheriffs. | A body of strikers were stopped by deputies while marching to Center. They were ill squads of twos and threes, but a crowd of 75 soon collected, and when the order was given by John Mo- Guire, the leader, a rush was made aud they went through in spite of the depu ties. A short, sharp struggle ensued, but no further opposition was made by the deputies and the men marched on. The campers of the Plum Creek ' discovered a spy in their midst and he Was quickly drummed out of camp to the tune of "The Rogue’s March.” CAPTAIN CANN SWORN IN.

MANY ADVENTURES That Were Thrilling and Hazardous in Character RISKED ALL FOR SCIENCE’S SAKE l>i Photographs at Various Points of Ascent Secured. WAS TWELVE DEGREES BELOW ZERO At the Summit ot the Tallest Mountain in America Which Italians Say is 18,- 100 Feet High. New York, Sept. B.—Prince Luigi of Savoy, the Duke of Abrazzia and nephew of the king of Italy, is at the Waldorf, having reached this city after accomplishing the feat hitherto regarded as impossible, of climbing to the sum mit of Mount St. Elias. Considering his achievement Prince Luigi is very modest. He has avoided conversing about either the character of the work he and his puriy had to perform before they arrived at the summit or the scien tific facts which he added to the former knowledge of the mountain. When he returns to Italy he will prepare a mono logue concerning his experiences which will, it is said, be of great value to the scientific world. This monologue will be accompanied by photographs of pe culiar interest which were taken by the party at various stages of the journey. Some of these, most notably those ob tained at elevations of more than 14,000 feet, have no equals, it, is said, in the world. Npt only do they show the effects of photography at such eleva tions, but the actual appearance of what has been regarded as an insurmountable peak. Tne negatives are in the per gonal keeping of the prince, who prizes them as the most valuable ot his tro phies of Mount St. Elias. They will be developed in Italy and until then Prince Duigi declines even to converse about them. The Prince’s Spokesman Talks, Chevalier Oagni was the prince’s ■pokesman. He was enthusiastic over the success of the exploration. He said: "You will be surprised to know that the ascent was not either very danger ous or difficult. We are all experienced mountaineers and we had all of us en countered dangers in climbing far more perilous mountains than those with which we were confronted. The nota ble features of the long climb were the glaciers. They seemed to be boundless. We had never before witnessed such vast expanses and their splendor is un rivalled. There were many crevasses, some of them very wide, but these also were overcome and we reached the top after 18 hours* hard climbing. . "Tbe sensation we experienced when we were at an altitude of more than 14.000 feet was chiefly rapid and diffi cult respiration. The rarity of air made the last steps of the journey difficult, but the weariness was more than repaid by the view we obtained at the summit. These photographs will, I believe, open the eyes of mountain climbers. Oar chief regret was thut we were unable to curry a really large cam ra on account of its weight. All Kinds ot Adventures. "The most difficult part of the trip was from the ‘divide.’ From that point it took 11 hours to gain tbe top. We had lots of adventures and every one of the party, including the prince and the guide, fell into crevasses, but we were so well prepared against accidents of that sort that no one came to harm. We came down the slope of the moun tain to the ‘divide’ in a little more than two hours. There is some danger, per haps, in this, for the ice bridges and snow bridges, under the influence of the afternoon sun, had melted some what and we were not always able to trust ouselves to them, but the hazard ousness of it was forgotten in the excite ment, which was superb, and set tbe whole system tingling w'ith the exer cise. "We found the mountain to be, ac cording to our instruments, 18,100 feet high, I say this, of course, with the understanding that after more careful mathematical application we may find that the height will vary 20 or 30 feet. While it was cold at the summit it was not excessively so, our thermometers in dicating 12 degrees below zero. In re turning it would have been to our ad vantage had the temperature remained at that point.” X Increase Your Trade. ; X A Kbndike Strike * jjj By advertising in The * 0* Tribune. * X Best medium In North Georgia S PRICE FIVE CENTS HANG HIM QUICKLY Murderer Perry Calls Gov. At kinson a “D—d Chump.” Threatens a Sensational Talk on the Gallows—Says the Governor Was Influenced By Candler. ________________ * Atlanta, Sept. B—lt will be remem bered that two days ago H. S. Perry, the condemned murderer, whose wife created a dramatic scene in the gov ernor’s office by falling upon her knees aud pleading for her husband’s Life, sent an invitation to the governor to call upon him in his cell for the purpose of having a friendly chat over the new turn which events had taken. The governor smiled grimly upon re ceipt of the politely wordea request, and •aid to the messenger: “Present my compliments to Mr. Perry and tell him that he can call upon me by attorney.” Perry relapsed into his usual state of indifference upon receipt of the answer, but not, it has just leaked out, before he said: "Bill Atkinson is a d - d chump, anyhow. He is pulled around by Judge Candler, who has railroaded me through to death for the political benefit it may bring him. I’ll not have another word to say to him. but in my speech on the gallows I will skin him alive.” MISSING MAN TITrNS UP. Se nsatlen Cftu«ed by (be Disappearance ot Colonel Elderkin Exploded. Chicago, Sept. 3 The sensation caused by the disappearance of Lieuten ant Colonel William A. Elderkin, com missary general of the department of Missouri, was exploded in a rather ludi crous way when the missing man strolled into headquarters in the usual way. He was overwhelmed with con gratulations as to his apparent good health aud was very much surprised when told that the police had been searching for him all night long. Colonel Elderkin. it appears, had ac companied a party to one of the thea ters. It was so late when the play was over that he concluded to stay down town for the night and he went to a hotel. His family was so worried over his absence that the matter was reported to the police. The anxiety was increased because of the fact that Elderkin had been the victim of temporary paralysis strokes and it was feared that he might have been seized with one while on his way home.
