the captives.

pellagra, oroya fever, yellow fever, bu
bonic plague, typhoid fever, a collec

South American leprosy, and the
dreaded blackwater fever. The germs,
all carefully crated, were admitted to
the United States ns “South American
curiosities” and were shipped to Har
vard college.

Hoch, Hanged In Chicago, May Have
Been Schmidt's Brother.
Johann Hoch. the “Chicago Blue
heard.” hanged in Chicago in 1905
for killing one of the twelve wives
he was known to have married, real
ly was Johann Schmidt, according
to Isadore IMotke, tin; attorney who
defend* and Hindi. IMotke said that
Hoch. or Schmidt, came from .Main/..
Germany, and that he bore a strong
resemblance to tbe New York mur
derer.
"My client told me he had brothers
and sisters in Germany,” said Mr.
Plotke. “I have examined many pho
tographs of Father Schmidt. If lie
wore a mustache I might almost take
him for Hock. The two men’s jawg
are much alike in their extreme
breadth.”
Turkieh Postage Stamps.
Every one who lias collected stamps
must have noticed the absence of sov
ereigns’ heads from those of Turkey.
That this is so is due to the fact that
Mohammedans think a representation
of the human face or figure unlawful
Therefore Turkish stamps carry the
crescent, which the Turks borrowed
from the Byzantines after the fall of
Constantinople. They also list'd a com
plicated. arbitrary sign, supjxisod to be
the signature of the sultan.
Notwithstanding an ever increasing
production, there has beeu a progres
sively higher average price obtained
for rough diamonds, with the excep
tion of fluctuations during certain pe
riods of depression, and during the
last twenty years diamonds have in
creased in value by 150 ppr cent.

er of South African diamonds and

Skating cin Thin Ice.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 9th., 1913
l nclt* Jim Woodward is skat ng
on thin ice th.s tall ,with city
council and aldermanic board
against him and a threat on
that the business men and the
city may put Forrset Adair I -’*•-
ward as an independent , u (,n
parti sail candidate for .Mayor.
The most sensational feature of
th,e unsettled situation is tin* men
tinning of Mr. Adair’s name i
connection with the next mayor
alty race. Mr. Adair is no poli-
titian {it all and tor that very
reason it is doubtful it any poli
tician in Atlanta could beat him.
Atlanta hasn't had a notn-polit
eal mayor, striekly speaking.since
tlte 1 i bert F. Maddox administra
tion. .Mr. Maddox, a t horough
and successful business man, ac
cepted the duties oi mayor at a
sacrifice to his personal interests,
and if Mr.. Adair were prevailed
upon to run the situation would
be identical in his case.
Increased Burden But Same Pay
Atlanta, Ga„ Oct. Oth., 1913 —
Tlie parcel post service has been
enjoyed by the public* for nine
months .and has been of particu
lar value and benefit to small
towns and rural communities but
unfortunate star route car
riers are still carrying the extra
burden for nothing. I ncle Sain
is helping l the public somewhat
at their expense.
The carriers were notified hy
the postoffice department last
February that extra pay would
be granted them in due time for
the extra work, hut five months
passed, in which nothing wa
done and then whom they sought
relief they were told that the in
crease in weight was not suffici
ent to justify an increase in p<o
—this despite the fact that the
parcels post made a regular San
ta Claus out of the poor mail car
rier every day in the A*ear .

The Old Cabinet Maker Says:
THAT the one piece of furniture which combines the
highest degree of utility and beauty is the Daven
port. When emergency calls it may be opened to
serve as a bed and it makes a luxurious one, too.
Closed, it becomes a handsome piece of furniture-an ornament in any
room. In our store we have Davenports of many kinds and you will
have no trouble in finding what you want at the price you wish to pay;
and, if you have had experience with the cheaply constructed Daven
ports, or the old fashioned kind, you will be surprised at the simple
mechanism of the new ones, and the ease with which they are operated
