Newspaper Page Text2 A PRIZE DRII.L SCANDAL. ATLANTA'S RIFLES BAY THK * JUDGES WERE BRIBED. Treasurer Hees of tb<* Exposition Company Faid to Have Admitted tbat a Checz Was Written in Their Name, but that the Judges Then Changed Their Decision- The Treas urer Won't Pay It. Atlanta, Ga, April 12. The Journal this afternoon published ft sensa tional article about the Jacksonville drill, in whch the Rifle* of this city failed to take first prize. The Rifles returned to-day, and the Journal says they are mad. A delega tion from the company called at the news paper offices, and, after denying a statement mado bv a correspondent from Macon that one of the riflemen had become enraged at being thrown out, and had shaken his fist in the faces of the judges, they further stated that as soon as the drill was over the Southern Cadets realized that unless some thing was done tbo prize was lost. TREASURER HESS - STATEMENT. Mr. Hess, the treasurer of the exposition company, stated yesterday that the night after the drill the judges decided the con test, giving the Rifles first place, and that a check for the $2,000 was drawn up with their name on it. Yesterday, however, the name was changed to the Southern Cadets. Mr. Hess says emphatically that he will not pay the check, and that the Cadets can ; sue if they want to. The Journal 1 * article ■ intimates that the decision of the judges from bribery. It says, undor the heading, 'Were they bribed T The Rifles assert that their not getting the prize was the result of juggling after the result had been decided upon. Thev say the judges refuse to give the scores for publication, and that there is no explanation whatever for their defeat, ex cept the fact that the judges were bribed by gamblers.” AN OVATION AT MACON. Macon, Ga., April 10. The South ern Cadets arrived home at 5:45 o’clock this evening. They were met at the station by several thousand people, and accorded a royal reception. They were driven over the city in triumph, and on re turning their route was illuminated by pyrotechnic displays. Sergeant Jones, whose pluck saved the prize for the team, was presented with a gold watch and chain by the citizens. Their reception was the greatest ovation ever seen here. PENSACOLA’S DRY DOCK. The New Structure Stands a Test Very Satisfactorily. Pensacola, Fla., April 12.—An event occurred to-day that markß an era in the history of Pensacola, and gives added fame to this city as a seaport. The Pensacola marine railway was given a critical test in respect to its capabilities, and it worked like a charm. The Norwegian bark Festina Ijente. of 1,040 toils, was successfully docked in a very short time, going out without a hitch. The dock was built to accommodate a vessel of 1,000 tons. Until to-day the largest vessel taken out on it was of only 400 tons. All of the Plant line steamers plying between Tampa and Havana when needing docking accommodations can be accommodated. The company owning the ways contemplates building another rail way to accommodate vessels of 2,000 tons burden. MINNEOLA MENTION. The Farmers’ Alliance—The Outlook of the Planters.

I Tbo Hoarible Possibilities of Conduot While Thoroughly Drunk. j frtm the Chicago Herald. “It is possible for a Inan under the infl u i enca of drink to commit murder and yet be j absolutely unconscious of his act and be utterly iiVfcapable of n>calling it.” This was said by a Chicago physician w ho is eminent : for his knowledge of brain and nerve d.s orders. In substantiation of the statement I that a man may tie so drunk as io be un— I conscious and yet act seemingly in a most ! intelligent manner, a gentleman well known in Chicago real estate circles tells 1 the follow ing story of himself: “I met a i oid college friend when I was last in Chicago, and invited him to dine | wi h ni>- at a (.'lark street restaurant. “We had two or three drinks of French brandy before eating, and we each drank a couple of bottler of champagne. I recollect distinctly parting with him j.:st outside the restaurant, and then ail was a blank to me. When I recovered consciousness it was in my room at tne Grand Pacific hotel. Now perfectly sober, but incapable through ner vousness of further sleep, 1 arose, lit the gas, and lo.ksd at my watch. It was 2 o'clock. "1 was thoroughly alarmed. Throwing myselt on a chair 1 sought desperately to recall the time, eleven hours in all, since I left my friend. But no, try as I might, 1 could remember nothing. How did 1 get to the hotel! There was uuconscious ac tion certainly, i had evidently carefully undressed and turned off the gas. My clothes were on the same chair I had beeu accustomed to place them, and my shoes and stockings were beneath the chair. “This was the first time in my life that I bad been really drunk, and I was scared beyond estiimtion. What had I done in these eleven hours? What offenses might I not have committed : I was morally cer tain my name would be in the morning papers,'and if so 1 should commit suicide. None of my family had ever done a dis graceful thing, and I would not survive dis honor. “Presently, unable to bear my own thoughts, I dressed and went down into the office. I asked the clerk if he ha 1 seen me enter, but he had not. I had evidently got early to my room. There was some conso lation in that. “Ob, how wretched I was. My head achod. my heart ached. I would drink no more; never. The night finally passed. After breakfast, with saddened counte nance, I hastened to the real estate office of , whom you know. I renumbered he had given me an option on some acre property in the city, and that option expired the day before. As tiie purchase of this property was the chief object of my coming to Chicago, I was exceedingly mortified that 1 should have lot the day go by. It was a valuable tract, and worth every cent I was asked for it. “Now note what follows Incredible as it may seem, 1 swear that I shall relate it as it occurred, and that every word of it is true. "Entering the broker’s oflne, after the greetings of the day, I said somewhat timidly: “Mr. , if you have not changed your mind about that tract I m prepared to buy it this morning.’ “The broker stared at me in astonishment for a moment and then said laughingly; " ‘Oh, I see; you will have your joke.’ “‘Joke!’ 1 replied. ‘Why, I was never more serious in my life. I tell you I wish to buy that tract of laud.’ " ’The land is sold—sold yesterday,’ said the broker, with a smile. “ ‘That is too bail,’ 1 exclaimed bitterly. ‘Who bought it: I have set my heart on getting it. Now don’t you think you might induce him to part with it?’ “‘I doubt it exceedingly. In fact, he told me that he bought to h >ld for a c ,uple of years, believing it would double in value.’ “ ‘I am greatly disappointed—more so than I can express in mere words,’ I said ‘But will you tell me the name oe the pur chaser? He may be prevailed upon to part with it’ “ 'Are you really in earnest? asked the broker, who seemed to be completely mysti fied. ‘Do you mean to say that you have no recollection of entering my office yester day afternoon aud buying that tract? “‘I entered your office! I bought the land! It’s impossible!’ “ ‘Not only not imoossible, but a veritable fact. I suppose you know your signature?’ “So speaking, he opened his safe and took out a document. It was the contract for the property in question, and to it was ap pended my cheek for $5,0015. 1 had actually filled out the check myself. My handwrit ing was us tree from shakiness as though I had never taken a drink in my life. It passed belief that I could have entered the office and bought $90,000 worth of land, and that when I was absolutely out of my reason. I could not possibly recall any thing connected with it. I again grow alarmed. If I could unconsciously make such a good investment 1 might have done something foolish on a larger scale. “I inquired the ti lie ween I entered his office, and when I left there. His answer showed that I had gone there direct after leaving my friend. Bnt what did I do afterward ? 1 would find out at any cost. “I asked him if he did not perceive by my manner that I was drunk, and he laughed. “ ‘You were as sober then as you are now. You don’t got drunk.’ he added. ‘Now I couie to think of it, you did speak some what slowly, but that I ascribed to the im portance of the transaction.’ “ ‘Do you tell mo that my manner was in no sense strange? Did I not'reel or stagger?’ “’I assure you 1 saw nothing strange. I would have sworn you were perfectly sober, and it demands your most positive assur ance to the contrary to make me believe it,’said he. ‘I most assuredly would have postponed the transaction had I thought you were drunk.’ “Leaving him, I went back to the hotel and found the clerk who wa3 on dut y wheu I entered the hotel He knew the precise time 1 entered, and it was clear that I had gone from the broker directly there. He was incredulous wheu I told him 1 had no recollection of seeing him, or in fact of en tering the house, lie assured me that 1 had asked him several queslions iu the most coherent inanuer, and that when I asked for my room key I told him I was going to my room to take a nap, aud that if any one called to tell him that 1 would see him. “I was once upon a jury at the trial of a man for an atrocious murder. Ou the gal lows he protested that, while he must be lieve he committed the crim >, since th* witnesses confirmed it, yet, in the face of death aud the consciousness that in a few moments he must be iu the pres uce of his Maker, he protested he knew nothing what ever of the occurrence. Tne murdered man was his frieud, and instead of doing him au injury he would have doue him any favor he could ask. The criminal had not sought executive clemency; he refused to have his case appealed. He told his lawyers flatly that, having killed his friend, he would pay the penalty; that it was just aud right. As I sav, he died protesting that he knew nothing of the crime. T sneered at his statement. I could not believe it possible, and I congratulated myself that 1 hail been a member of the jury whose verdict hui rid the world of a monster. “It is different now. In iny own exper ience I have walked about, have purcha.-ed a valuable tract of land, found iny way to my hotel, undressed end retired, and all of this wheu I was iu such a condition of mind that no impression is left of the recurrences. 1 have the most positive proof of the facts. 1 could not doubt them. The experience is a strange one, and Ido not blame any one for not believing it. I know that until it came to me no one could have persuaded me of its possibility. Some German philoso phers speak of au alter ego—the other self. Twenty centuries ago people he and to a de moniacal possession of me i. I don’t know how to explain the phenomenon. It is a ghastly, hideous fact, and one that terror izes tne when I think of it. I might have been run over, knocked down robbed, or I might have imbued my band iu the blood of u fellow man. And this is why I refused to joiu in a drink. Never again will 1 tempt late in that way." THE MORNING NEWS : SUNDAY, APRIL US, 1899—TWELVE PAGES. MAYS INVENTIVE GENIUS IT FREQUENTLY RUNS IN WELL WORN CHANNELS. Cheap Inventions the Desideratum. Electric Motors, Fire Escapes and Cash Registers Popular, but Car j Couplings Lead —Women as In vestors. From the C'ift cinnati Enquirer. The inventive genius of mao was never more active than it is now. The wonderful development of science has led to the inven tion of millions of devices. There have been granted already 424,943 patent* in this country, and thousands of applications are being examined ever) - diy. Patent agencies have sprung up in almost every town and city in tne land. It seem* really true that the age of literature has given way to the age of scientific inventions. “Which way does man’s inventive genius seem to tend at present?'’ asked a reporter of a well known patent lawyer. “Toward cheap inventions," answered he. “This is essentially an age of utility, aud the cheaper any practical invented device can be made all the better. “Electric motors are probably claiming the attention of as many inventors *as any other one thing. Storage batteries are the desideratum. They are placed on cars, under the seat, and furnished motive power enough to propel a car the course of an or dinary round trip, wheu one battery is taken out and another substituted, and so on.thus avoiding the u-c of all the machinery now necessary. Many of these storage batteries are good, too. Electric lights have a good following, too, among electrical inventors. The tendency is to produce something good and cheap. “Fire escapes and smoke consumers claim the attention of many practical inventors. Some excellent devices hove been recently patented. One invention is a kiud of ladder which can be placed instantaneously outside of a building. It is a decid-xl novelty, and beats anything yet out. It will probably be placed on one of the new structures which are in course of construction in this city now. “Car brakes of all kinds are always being invented. In fact the attempts to secure cheap and rapid transit by means of some mechanical device are perhaps as numerous as anything else. Everything pertaining to cars, engines, railroad tracks or motor power in any wav has thousands of devotees who are laboring to invent something more practical than auytbing in present use. Take cur couplings, for instance. There have already been granted 35,000 patents on inventions of that class. Many other things pertaining to the safety of men who are employed on railroad trains are patented nearly as often. But car couplings prob ably lead. “Cash machines, cash registers, penny slot machines, and such contrivances are popular, too, with many inventors. An other practical device which claims the at tention of inventors is the ice machine. Some wonderful improvements have been made with those machines during the past year. The telephone formerly had its fol lowers, but of late years they have de creased. The invention seems to have reached its perfection, at least for awhile. The same is true with the graphophone. These devices once created a craze among a certain class of inventors who, seeking to follow Edison, thought that they could easily immortalize themselves by inventing something in this line. It takes a man with brains to attempt anything in which sound or tho science of acoustics plays such an im portant part. “Steam boilers, railway signals, firearms, especially heavy artillery, and other such things are also popular just now. Ear heaters are being greatly improved, too.” “Do women invent many things?” “A great many household devices and domestic labor-saving machines are in vented by women. For instance, churns, cradles, sewing machine devices aud the like. Corsets and all such improvements are generally the invention of ladies. Many other practical things are the result of woman’s geaius. An inventive woman has a great deal of persistency, and will hold on as long as there is a ghost of a show in se- curing a patent” “Is it generally difficult to secure a patent?” “That depends very much. Iu devices of th 9 same class it requires a complete change of combination in order to secure a patent. A slight change of some part or parts is not sufficient A great many things must be borne in mind when seeking a patent There are always thousands of applications being considered, and the time of the patent commissioners is pretty well taken up most of the time.” An Engineer Killed. Bordentovx, N. J., April 12.—A Penn sylvania railroad pas-enger train, on its run from Trenton to Camden, was wrecked in this city at 3 o’clock this afternoon, and F.ngineer George Kerr of Trenton was killed, tho engine being thrown over on him. No other persons were injured. Gotham’s Strikers Compromise. New York, April 12.—Nearly one-half of the meu who struck work on the build ings in which Paulsen & Ager of Green point have been putting iron work, went back to work to-day. The contractors agreed to employ none but union men, and a compromise was thus effected. SPECIAL NOTICES. THE BEST Is always the cheapest.

Spring Medicine At no other season does the human system so much need the aid of a reliable spring medicine like Hood's Sarsaparilla, a* no*-. The impover ished condition of the blood, the weakening effects of the unheallhful winter, the lost appe tite, and that tired feeling, ail make a good spring medicine absolutely necessary. Hood s Sarsaparilla is peculiarly adapted for this pur pose. and increases in popularity every year. Give it a trial. Hood's Sarsaparilla T have been suffering more or less with dys pepsia and liver difficulty for a long time.

G. James, Winona, Mississippi. Purifies the Blood "My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof ulous sore neck from the time she was 22 months old till she became 6 yesrs of age. Lumps formel in her neck, and one of them, after growing to the size of a pigeon’s egg, became a running sore for over three years. NVe gave her Hood's Sarsaparilla, when the lump and all in dications of scrofula entirely disappeared, and now she seems to be a healthy child.” J. S. Cablile, Kauright, N. J. Hood's sarsaparilla Has a record of cure's of Scrofula and other blood diseases never equaled by any other .prep aration. The most severe cases yield to this remedy when others have failed to have the slightest effect. Hereditary scrofula, which clings to the blood with the greatest tenacity, is cured by this peculiar medicine. Its many re markable cures have won for Hood’s Sarsapar illa the title of “The greatest blood purifier ever discovered.” Makes the Weak Strong “Last Spriug I seemed to be running down in health, was weak and tired all the time.
