it digests. Food cooked with lard isn’t to

for a pail of Cottolene. If you ever go
back to lard, well miss our guess.

MORE VICTIMS
Added to List of Battleship Explosion
at Pensacola.
Pensacola, Fla., April 14—Two more
ordinary seamen who were injured in
tho explosion of the battleship Missouri
yesterday died this morniug, making
thirty-one; also one man is missing
from tho turret crew. It is believed
that he was blowu overboard by tho ex
plosion. or, crazed with pain, jumped
overboard.
Impressive ceremonies wore held over
the twenty-six dead seamen this after*
noon at the navy yard. The bodies of
the five officers are held a waiting ad

homes.
R R Hopkins'Home Burned.
The many Thomasville friends of Col.

of his recent loss by fire. His haudsome
home was at the corner of Dartmouth
and Reynolds streets in Brunswick. The
flames entirely consumed the building
aud several members of the family bare-
‘scaixxl with their lives. The loss on
the house was partlycovered by insurance
but all the furniture and valuable jowels
MAY GET FORTUNE.
Poatmastor Diamuko Poaalblo Sharer
in 58,000,000 Estate.
A recent issue of tho Atlanta Const!
tution states that the Dismuke family,
of which there are many representatives
in Georgia, are heirs toa 30-acre tract of
land in the heart of Baltimore valued at
88,000,000 or more. While there are a
great many 'Dismukos in the South, yet
tho amount to be divided is so large
that if the claim is made good each heir
will receive a considerable stun, not*
witstanding tiie long division.
According to a letter from Baltimore
to William M. Dismukos, of Nashville,
Tenn., proprie'or of the Maxwell House
of that city, "the late fire at Baltimore
has developed that 20 acres of the burned
district belonging to one George R. Dia*
makes, which was leasod to the city of
Baltimore for ninety-nine years. The
lease recently expired developed tho fact
that we are hoirs in said property. There
was a letter written from the law firm
to me from Baltimore, representing the
city's interests, to tho effect that the
proporty could not be sold unless they
have tho uames of all the Dismukos
heirs. Thoy made an offer for a clear
title of 88,000,000."
If there is any truth in the above
story Mr. F. D, Dismuke of tills city
will get a slice of the eight milliou. His
many Thomasville friends hopo that the
glittering possibility may prove a glow
ing reality and that he may receive a
pot of money."
TROUBLE IN COREA.
Imperial Palaco Destroyed by Fire
and Rebels Suspected.
Paris, ^pril 16,—A cable report re
ceived at the foreigu office here sayB
that tho imperial palace at Seoul,
Corea, was completely destroyed by fire
last night. The fire began in the even
ing aud lasted through the night. Only
ruins of the palace now remain. The
omiieror and suite escaped to a nearby
refuge. The report mentions no loss of
life, nor does it give the cause of fire,
but the recent political unrest at the
Coreau capital leads to fears that tho
destruction of the palace was the work
of the rebellious element.

CLAPP'S ECCENTRICITIES.
An Account of That Gentleman's
"Meiry Life" Re*Publlshed.
The Savannah Press prints the follow
ing interesting story about a gentleman
well know hero. The account is inter
esting hut the statement that "the Jco-
respondeat was a Thomasville society
woman," is absurd and untruthful:
Herbert Mason Clapp, who was ar
rested at Norfolk for lunacy on a war
rant sworn ont by Joe Killoriu of Sa^
vannah, is a member of the Union Lea
gue Club of Philadelphia and has moved
iu the 1>est social circles. He lias not
been identified with affairs in that' city
fur several years, because his manner of
living and his eccentricities have alie
nated many of liis former friends and
associates
Clapp's wife was Miss Mary Post,
daughter of Augustus Post, a Wall street
banker iuNcw York. Their wedding,
on Man h 20, 181)4, was ono of the social
events iu the exclusive Brooklyn Heights
colony. After three children had been
born to them Mrs. Clapp left her hus
band, alleging cruelty, aud later sued
for divorce iu ties city on statutory
grounds, naming as a co respondent a
society woman of Thomasville, Ga. The
divorce was granted aud Justice Bischoff
ordered Clapp to pay his wife 88,600
year for the support of the children.
Clapp is the owner of tho Erdenheim
farms at Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia,
^Iiere fine strings of calvary horses and
prize polo ponies are bred. Tho Clapps
lived iu Pelham road, Germantown,
jnsi prior to the divorce.
When Mrs. Clapp loft her husband
aud took the three children with her
the habeas corpus proceedings were in
stituted by Clapp to regain possession
of tho children. The courts decided
that Mrs. Clapp should keep them. Then
Theodore Cuylor Patterson, formerly
Clapp's closest friend, sued him to n»'
cover a hill of $2,500, with interest, for
legal services.
Tho bill presented by Mr. Patterson
read as follows:
For preventing Mr. Clapp’s wife
from leaving him on two occa
sions, jwrsuading her not to be

saving the family from scan
