THE BANNER, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1911,
MID JO REST
Remains of the Late Cap-
tian J. C. Wages Yester
day at Noon Buried
at Rutledge.
(From Tuesday's Banner.)
Yesterday about noon the remains
ot the late Capt. John C. Waxes,
whose death occurred at his home on
Waddell street this city Saturday
morning, were laid to rest In the cem
etery at Rutledge, the (uneral being
conducted at that place by the pastor
ol the Methodist church.
The funeral party consisting of the
family and quite a number of friends,
was augmented by a delegation of the
local order of Elks, from whose ranks
the pallbearers were selected. The
funeral services were simple and im
pressive and a great audience was
present to attest the popularity of the
deceased and the devotion In which
he was held by hundreds of all classes.
The following tribute has been pre
pared by a close friend ot Capt.
Wages.
Tribute of U. C. T.'s.
Editor Banner:—Under the over
shadowing, overpowering sense of our
loss In the denth ot our dear and good
friend, Captain John W. Wages, the
late conductor on the Athens branch
of the Georgia railroad, as a member
of Classic Council No. 315, United
Commercial Travelers, I express the
deep sorrow of each member in these
few lines. I can scarcely trust myself
lo write the words that crowd to my
lips and clamor for utterance. There
Is not'a threshold in our city, where
Captain Wages was known, but Is to
day darkened by the shadow of this
Death Angel’s wing. There is not a
home In Georgia, nor in Florida,
where a U. C. T. member lives, but
will hear with heaty hearts the dread
ful news, which, on Saturday morning,
awakened the keenest grief in our
city.
The many who have shared the hos
pitality of his train will learn with
unrelieved regret that this happy
home has been Invaded by the dread
ed summons that awaits us all, and
he who made it home, snatched rfora
arms that ached to hold him. Voices
will be lower and eyes o'erfiow in
many a household, when they heat
that his sweet spirit has gone to Its
long rest beneath the willow. He who
lies before us, in dreamless slumber,
with heavy lids lifting no more to af
fectionate, yearning cry, with hands
folded In perfect peace, was a loved
und loving husband, a dear devoted
father, a fond and faithful friend: No
better epitaph could be chiseled on
the tomb of a king. He loved his
wife, his children and his hearth-stone
better than he loved himself, and
there was no sacrifice he counted not
a joy when made for his friends.
He was -not unprepared for this
visit. He even expected It any mo
ment, yet to his many friends, he ev
er wore the same sunny smile. Like
a faithful sentinel, who never knows
at what moment the death shot may
pierce his heart, he held himself In
readiness for the call. Death came
on velvet sandals, and his kiss was as
the fall of the snow, beneath which
we lay him to sleep. From around
Ills quiet life, there spreads a soft and
steady light kindled from the altar of
love. Ills friend,
A. B. CARTER

New York* March fl.—The nyntml
sportsmen’s show opened today In
Madison Square Garden, with a set
ting of outdoor life more elaborate
and attractive than was ever attempt
ed at any of the previous exhibitions.
One entire half of the amphitheater
has been converted Into a realistic
represenutlon of a mountain forest,
with the snowclad peaks of the
Rockies showing in the distance, and
a flowing mountain torrent leaping
from n canyon wall and running
ncross the pictured gorge.
The management this year has de
cided to make n special feature of the
rifle and revolver competitions. Be
sides the assembling of the. nation’s
star wing shots, reinforced by their
Canadian brethren, military college

New York, March C.—Staking his
reputation against the monied inter
ests of the gambling forces that have
heroine strongly entrenched all about
town, Fljnn. the former secret ser
vice sleuth, has today begun what
promises to be as fierce a fight with
organized law breakers as this city
has ever seen. That this will be
duel to the death is promised by the
sturdy Irishman whom the mayor Is
bolding in charge of the entire detec
tive work of the police. Milions In
money and all the wit and pull at
the command of the influential games-
sters are already arrayed to thwart
the sleuth who is determined to break
up gambling here or be broken by
It, and New Yorkers are now sure to
witness weeks of the biggest battle
royal between raiders and resorts of
chance that has been attempted here
since the days of Jerome and his axo.
Fancy Farming.
That Father Knickerbocker has
proved an utter failure as a farmer
Is being shown by the report ot the
expert investigators of the fertility of
Central Park, who are today asking
almost three millions of dollars to
save this space of wood and grass
growth from sudden blight. Under
political overseers every inch of soil
has been allowed to become played
out and almost every growing thing
to wither In the people's only big nat
ural playground on this island. Prac
tically the entire park must, bo re
soiled and pruned back to insure its
future life. With a million and a
quarter dollars necessary to be de
voted to new soli and planting alone,
it is figured that Central Park's agrl-
<ulture is proving the most expensive
in the world.

urbs packed with snow and ice, the
spor^ of sledding has reached first
place In all athletic interest here.
Over every stretch ot the smoothest
and longest hills In the vicinity, rec

For the first time in history here
snake shows are being introduced in

ahead of Mr. Fears. Mr. Fears pull
ed up his nag sharply and short. The
Iraees were a bit short and the axle
of the buggy grazed the animals hind
legs. The horse kicked wildly and at
first lung (lung a hind foot over the
dashboard and enught It there. One
lit tie boy was seated In the bottom of
tho buggy body and every effort the
horse made to free his hoof grazed
the child's face and side of his head.
The little daughter was In the seat
next her father and as the animal
plunged forward she was almost un
seated. The driver held her In the
seat with one arm while with the oth
er he managed the horse. Seeing that
the frightened animal might run
away he steered him directly Into tho
underpinning of the overhead bridge
and guided his head between two
posts where a sudden stop was the
result. So sudden was the halt, In
deed, that Mr. Fears, the two boys,
and the little girl were all thrown to
tlie Belgian block pavement. All four
were more or less bruised and scratch
ed, but not a bone was broken. Five
hundred people, who had congregated
