“THE LADY EVELYN."
“Tell the Lady Evelyn from me,”
emarked the gjpsy Chi«f Zallony to
Javin Ord, ' that if she is false to my
'riend, the Count, I will kill her.”
“She is going to marry me,” re
torted Gavin.
I have dealt firmly with you.”
said the gypsy, with a shrug. ‘For
what is now to come, do not blame
me.”
If Evelyn marries Gavin. Zallony
will kill her. If she marries the
Count, Gavin will kill him. If she
loes not marry Gavin, she will break
aer heart. If she does not marry the
Count, then her father must die.”
Pretty complication, is it not? It is
the situation wherein the principal
Characters of a new and great novel
find themselves in the fourth instal
ment of Max Pemberton's "The
i.ady Evelyn.” This is hut one of the
sfty stirring and utterly surprising
lltuatlons with which Pemberton's
masterpiece fairly bristles. There is
not a commonplace or unexciting line
In the whole book. Adventure, as
wildly thrilling as any in "The Arah
len Nights,” tread hot on each other's
heels from start to finish. A love In
terest, as delightful and madly un
cr.nventional as ever sprang front
mortal writer's brain, runs through
the whole story. It Is the sort of a
book that makes one grateful all
over for having learned to read.
"The Lady Evelyn” is published
exclusively in serial form in this
paper. The fourth Instalment will
appear next Sunday, together with a
full synopsis of earlier chapters.
It is the third book of the famous
$150,000 series of new international
novels, hitherto unpublished, issued
by the Authors’ and Newspapers’ As
sociation, and appearing in this pa
per prior to publication in book form.
Order your copy In advance, unless
you are a regular subscriber, for the
demand is so great that the edition
may be exhausted before you can buy

111 SUMMERVILLE
Healin Residence Burnt and All the
Household Good*—Family Narrow
ly Escaped.
On yesterday morning while the
family was at breakfast the home of
Mr. Heslen, on the Monte Sano car
line, caught fire, and before It could
be extinguished the house had burned
to the ground.
While at breakfast It is said that
the little boy of Mr. Heslens heard a
peculiar sound and informed the oth
ers of It. It was finally decided that
the sound was made by the Ice wagon
as It made Its usual round. Finally
the noise from without became so loud
that it was decided to Investigate the
matter.
Mr. Heslen went out. and immedi
ately discovered that the kitchen roof
was a mass of flames. All hands went
to work at once, but It was soon reaal
ized that the house could not be saved.
Only a few household goods were res
cued and it Is said that a consider
able amount of money was lost In the
fire. There was no Insurance.
The Summerville fire department
was notified as soon as the fire was
discovered, but some one had the
key to the house that contained the
fire fighting apparatus and as that per
son could not be fo*nd the door had
Ito be forced before the department
[could obtain the hook and ladder. The
first stream of water that was turned
on broke the pipe and the department
was utterly unable to render any as-'
sistance.
Mr. Heslen Is a machinist at the
Georgia railroaod.

JUMPING J!K EFT
ANOTHER MANAGER
Two of Their Beet Men Aleo Get
Release.
The Florida TlmeaUnlon ha« the
following story of the release of
Hennager and Gnadlnnger and Flem
ing:
Carleton Buesse Is now the mana
ger of the Jacksonville baseball
team. Tom Fleming having been
handed hla release last night. How
ever. before being handed the twen
ty-thfrd degree. Hr. Fleming suc
ceeded In handling the pink slip to
Messrs. Hennager and Onadlnger,
the real backbone of the local or
ganization.
Mr. Fleming came out like a man
and asked for his release and as it
was already made out, he was given
it in a few short seconds.
While Tom Fleming Is a good ball
player he certainly Is no manager,
at ieast he failed to show any strong
managerial qualities while piloting
the locals. Since his connection
with the Jacksonville team they have
won but two games which certainly
is not a good record To the con
trary tne record made by the team
while under Fleming has been terri
ble. He propably should not. be
blamed for all that has happened,
but he certainly failed to do for the
team what he promised the directors
he could do. When the team was
given to Fleming he Informed its
owners that he knew where he
could get ball players galore. He
has had ample time In which to se
cure the men hut to date none of
his stars have shown up. It Is said
that, some of them are on the way,
but this Is probably a joke.
Carleton Buesse, who has played
Ruch good ball for the team since he
Joined tnem, has been put in charge
of the team. Its now up to Mana
ger Buesse to find out where the
trouble Is and remedy It at once.
Buesse Is a ball player and a good
one and he should be able to find
out at once where the trouble lies
and add new lfe to the team.
Other Releases.
The Jacksonvlle baseball manage
ment has pulled off many dumb
plays, but the limit was reached yes
terday when they released Joe Hen
nager and Ed Gnadnger, the back
bone of the local team.
Joe Hennager has been a member
of tue local team for the past, two
seasons and barrng none he has al
ways been the steadiest man on the
team. Ixtok his average over for
this and last season and you will
find- where he has made less errors
than any of the other members of the
team. At the present time Henna
ger is hitting close to the .280 mark,
by far a oetter average than any man
on the team.
In every city of the South Atlantic
league Hennager is regarded as a
consistent, and heady player. He has
pulled ofT more heady plays than
any five men connected with the
team, a fact of which all fans ac
quainted with the fine points of the
game are well aware.
Fans Are Quite Sore.
The fans in this city are some
what sore over the release of Hen
nager and they could be seen in lit
tle groups on the streets yesterday
discussing the matter. Why was he
released? is the question that. Is wor
rying the mind of the faithful fan.
The owners of the local team will
propably realize their mistake be
fore many games have been played.
Ed Gnadinger, the other released
member was probably the hardest
worker of the local outfit. He was
in the game all the time and no mat
ter where ordered to play ho would
enter the game with a strong deter
mination to give the public the best
in his make-up. It is true that his
hitting of late has been poor, but
aside from Hennager, there is -not a
man on the team that is hitting the
ball much better than Gnadinger.
His work in the outlied has always
been of the sensational kind.
The truth of the whole matter is
that Manager Fleming, while he was
manager, got his signals mixed and
released the two wrong men.
Gnadinger left last night for Co
lumbia, where he is to perform with
the Game Cocks. Both he and Hen
nager will no doubt prove valuable
men to the teams with whom they
finish the season.

The Way Uncle Sam Buys
Postoffices and Sites
THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT BUILDS THE OFFICE, THEREBY
CAUSING ENDLESS CONFUSION TO THE
POSTAL DEPARTMENT.
(William Wolfe Smith.)
WASHINGTON. D. C.. July 16
(Special.)—Now that the public
buildings bill has been passed which
provided for the construction or en
largement of several hundred public
buildings and the acquisition of
many sites, the office of the super
vising architect of the treasury will
be a busy place for some time to
come. It would seem that, in the
case where the building Is to pro
vide merely for a post office, the
wishes of the post office department
would prevail but this Is not the
case. W3ille occasionally the offi
cials of the post office department
are called Into consultation, as a
general proposition, the treasury de
partment purchases the site, draws
the plans and erects the building and
then lets the post office department
adapt. Itself to the building ns best
It may. Sometimes this leads to
strange complications and causes
post office officials much annoyance.
As such a large number of sites
are to be acquired, It will be of in
terest to take a glance at the modus
operandl of acquiring them. When
the treasury department Is ready to
,take up the question of a site where
the purchase has been authorized,
the supervising architect, will notify
the secretary of the treasury who
will cause to he Inserted In the va
rious newspapers published in the
city selected, an advertisement
which will announce that propo»*l»
will be received for the sale to the
United States of a suitable site, cen
trally and conveniently located, for
the federal building to be located in
the said town. The advertisement
will note that the department pre
fers a corner lot, giving the dimen
sions as decided upon by the depart
ment. It Is required that each pro
l posal shall be occompanled by a dia
gram of the land, showing the widths
o adjacent streets and n..eya, the
grades and character of the founda
tions obtainable, etc. Any improve
ments on the land must, be removed
by the vendor within thirty days
after written notice and the vendor
shall pay all expenses conrcted with
furnishing evidence of title and
deeds of conveyance.
These proposals are received, seal
ed and the law is very severe In
punishing any one who opens such
proposals until the hour appointed
when they are opened in the office
of the supervising architect in the
presence of a duly appointed com
mittee. The proposals must he
marked "proposal for federal build
ing site at Blankvllle” and address
ed to the secretary of the treasury,
supervsng architect's office, Wash
ington, D. C. Many considerations
enter into the question of selecting
a site. Of primary Importance Is
the location. The post office depart
ment. prefers sites near the depot.
In large cities and near the center
oi business In the smaller ones. Cor
ner lots are preferred as the law stip
ulates that there must be a clear
-p*c# around all federal biddings of
at least forty feet, Including streets
and alleys. The secretary of the
treasury, however, is permitted In
i his discretion to waive this require
ment when satisfied that it will not

GRAYMONT AND

BTILLMORE, Ga , July Id —The
baseball teams of Graymont and

and crossed hats for the first of a
series of three games, which resulted
In a score of eight to six In favor of
Quincy.
Interest was lagging from start to
finish. The only feature of the gamn
was the phenomenal work of Pitcher
Solomon of Qttlney, who fielded his
position with credit and held the
Graymont. batters at Ills merry until
the fatal sixth Inning, when three in
field errors, a pass and two hlta net
ted his opponent a four runa.

While the matter of cost Is not. a
predominant factor In that It Is by
no means the lowest bidder that, car
ries off the plum, the treasury Is
not disposed to be gouged and In
sists that the lots offered shall be
at a price which Is fair In connec
tion with the price, of surrounding
property, location, chsracter of foun
datlons, etc., all considered. To 1
prevent combination or any other of- |
fort to hole up the government, the I
treasury reserves the right to reject
nny or nil proposals. Hornet lines
It happens that a pracilcal silo can
not. lie purchased under the first
proposals received, when other pro
posals are asked for. In all cases
the purchase price of the site must
be within the limit of the approprla
lion when specifically made for thei
acquiring of a site. When a bulk
appropriation Is made for a site and
building the treasury department is
expected to set aside enough of this
appropriation to secure the construc
tion of a practical building and the
remainder is then available for a
site. Hometlmes the department
makes a mistake and when it. goes to
erect, a building finds It has not
enough money because of the amount
expended for the site and then it Is
compelled to ask congress to mßke
up the deficiency which congress
does not like to do. Congress pre
fers first to appropriate for the site
and when that Is acquired to make
another for the building.
When the bids are opened and
properly tabulated, the treasury de
partment sends an Inspector to ex
amine the sites offered and report,
thereon. If there is no active con
test the supervising architect makes
his report and recommendations to
the assistant, secretary of the treas
ury under whom his division comes,
at. present, Assistant Secretary J. H.
Edwards. The report of the super
vising architect Is usually based on
the report of the Inspector and the
othor In the case, although
sometimes the architect personally
Inspects the various sites offered as
there often happens to be a bitter
contest. Assistant Secretary Ed
wards will review the papers In the
case and send them to the secretary
of the treasury who will have final
say In the matter.
The officials of the post office de
partment are not as well pleased
with this method of selecting sites
as they would be if their wishes
were given more consideration. A
case In point is that of the Chica
go post office. There Is said to be
scarcely any one who Is willing to
admit that he had anything to do
with the selection of the site for
that building. According to a prom
inent post office official, the build
ing Is in the wrong section of the
city and should have been located
on the site of the old post office on
the lake front, considered by the de
partment as Ideal. Much criticism
Is also expressed of the arrange
ments of this building. The first
mailing case Is a quarter of a mile
from the last mailing case and the
various divisions are scattered over
various floors. This requires much
cumbersome and noisy machinery to
