CAN GATHERING
GREAT SUCCESS.
M PR?ZES S for TH the °la F rgest
number of tin cans
brings over 31000.
The “Clean-up Day” spirit has
fnlck covtogtou with much farce an
from every hack yard and alley can
seen the owners and occupants of
l,e work “cleaning
the property hard at
up their premises. recently
As stated in The News
Deo. T. Smith offered four
Mayor largest number of tin
prizes lor the
S delivered to the library building
t . ,p
tilis city. This put all the boys to
work and in a short time after the
announcement of the prizes offered
you could hear boys as they would
“Can I have all the tin cans
1 € an find in your back yard?” Of
course the ladies were in sympathy
with Mayor Smith’s plea for a “clean
city” and they at once co-operated
with those gathering cans, and now
practically every tin can in the city
is laying in one lot near the library.
Candler Harwell, age 14 years, won
the first prize with 6280 cans. John
Perry, age 14, took second prize,
with 5706. Ivy and Lamar Smith,
sons of Mayor Smith, age 14 and 13
respectfully, captured third prize with
3320 cans.
The total number of cans picked
up by the four hoys winning prizes
were over 15000. The total number
of cans picked up by a” tire boys in
the contest was something over 31000,
This movement of “clean up day”
for Covington was star ted sometime
ago and has been a slogan for a
number of other cities, during the
present month. In fact Covington
was the second city to adopt this
plan of getting a “clean city” and to
say that it has been a success here
only mildly expresses what has real¬
ly been done in the way of taking
ail the refuse from the resident sec¬
tion of the city, besides causing the
merchants to clean up in rear of their
places of business, thereby making
preparations for any sickness that
might have been caused by such
cause.
Next week The News hopes to pub¬
lish a picture of the four boys re¬
ceiving the prizes and the cans as
they appeared at the Library an
Counting Day.

SUES HER FATHER FOR GOLD
Maryland Farmer Found Treasure
While Up a Stump—Has Had
Trouble Ever Since.
Westminster, Md.—A suit between
Mrs. Rosella Hare and her father,
John L. Calp, over a pot of gold found
on Mr. Calp’s farm, is on trial in the
circuit court for Carroll county. With
his grandson, Clarence Harmon, dig¬
ging up a stump on his farm, Mr. Calp
struck a glass jar with $4,500 in gold
coins. Mrs. Hare, who was picking
blackberries nearby, assisted in
counting the gold and carrying it to
Mr. Calp’s house.
The gold was said to be the property
of Joseph Hare, who owned the farm
prior to its purchase by Mr. Calp. It
was learned that shortly before the
death of Mr. Hare, in 1891, he had dis¬
posed of two mortgages and had with¬
drawn from bank a sum closely ap¬
proximating $4,500 in gold, and for
which his administrators had made a
fruitless search in all the banks near¬
by and In Pennsylvania and Maryland.
The administrators of Mr. Hare in¬
stituted proceedings for the money.
The case was settled by the payment
of $1,200 to the Hare estate.
In 1910 Mrs. Hare, who is in noway
related to the late Joseph Hare,
brought suit against her father, claim¬
ing the entire sum of money found as
hers, because she and her son had
been present and assisted in the find¬
ing. This case is resisted by Mr.
Calp, on the ground that he alone
found the money; that it was on his
farm, and that his settlement with
the Hare estate secured to him what¬
ever title the heirs may have had to
the find.
DIVER’S DEATH DUE TO WORK
Theodore McMahan Viewed Sunken
Battleship Maine for Gov¬
ernment.
Newport, R. I.—The exertions in¬
volved in exploring the wrecks of
many vessels including that of the
battleship Maine in Havana harbor led
to the death here of Theodore Mc¬
Mahan, a diver employed by the Unit
dO States board of engineers.
The direct cause of his death was
Bright’s disease, but the attending phy¬
sician stated that the time McMahan
had spent beneath the surface of the
ocean viewing wrecks of vessels, seri¬
ously aggravated the disease.
After the battleship Maine was
blown up the United States govern¬
ment assigned McMahan to view the
wreck. He went to Havana and did
that work, submitting his report to the
officials in Washington.
McMahan planted the explosives
and blew up many wrecks along the
New England coast during the last 20
years. <
McMahan made his home in this
city. He was‘sixty years old, and is
survived by a daughter.
WANTS TO BE AN ANGEL
Young Woman of Paterson, N. J., Re¬
fuses Food Offered by Hospital
Attendants.
Morristown, N. J. —Anna Gespella,
the Paterson girl confined in the state
insane asylum at Morris Plains, who
believed she was fed daily by angels,
has had a change in her mania. She
is now starving herself to death. As¬
serting that an angel comes to her
every morning at four o’clock and
feeds her, she now desires to be an
angel and go about the world feeding
the hungry.
The woman gained notoriety for
herself by going for days without food.
Her meals were left near her, and
she would nibble at the food when
there was no one near. Of late the
woman has consented to eat when
other patients offered her food, but
would touch nothing from the hands
of the physicians or the attendants.
Only a little food passes her mouth,
despite the efforts of the hospital au¬
thorities. They believe the woman
intends to starve herself to death.
JUDGE UPHOLDS WIFE’S ACT
Philadelphia Magistrate Rules That
Picking Pockets Is Inalienable
Ricjht of a Married Woman.
Philadelphia.—According to a de¬
cision by Magistrate Macfarland here,
a wife has a perfect right to rifle the
pockets of her husband and take his
last cent, and the husband has no
redress.
The decision was made in the caeo
cf John Dorcas, arrested for non-sup¬
port. Dorcas pleaded that he was
forced to leave his wife because she
insisted upon going through his pock¬
ets nightly and relieving him of every
cent she could find.
The magistrate announced that, ac¬
cording to law, that which belonged to
Dorcas also belonged to Mrs. Dorcas,
and it did not make any difference
how she got it.

SON SERVES FOR HIS FATHER
induces Court to Exchange Their Sen¬
tences So Parent Can Be Set
Free the Sooner.
Baltimore, Md.—Asking that a sen¬
tence of three years in jail imposed
upon his father be imposed upon him
and that his own sentence of two
years in jail be reversed to his fa¬
ther, Hugh C. Lyons broke down in
the criminal court and wept bitterly.
Judge Elliott complied with the pris¬
oner’s unusual request and Lyons
seemed much relieved when given the
chance to exchange sentences with
his father, giving the elder man the
benefit of one year.
Though neither of them ever has
directly admitted that they were fa¬
ther and son, Hugh D. Lyons, alias
Philip Passavant. and Hugh C. Lyons,
who bear a very marked resemblance
to each other, have given the author¬
ities much difficulty in proving their
relationship. They were arrested
some time ago by Detectives Schan
berger and Kahler on a charge of ob¬
taining money through bogus checks
passed upon tobacconists and confec¬
tioners. Several days ago they were
convicted.
Touched by the loyalty of his part¬
ner in crime, “Passavant” asked that
the original sentence be adhered to,
but Judge Elliott carried out the re¬
versal.

FINDS NEW RACE IN AFRICA
Explorer Tells of People Who Ars
Capable of Extraordinary De¬
velopment.
Berlin.—Dr. Nekes, an authority on
Africa, has found in the neighborhood
of the new German territory surren¬
dered by France, a tribe he describes
as “the people of the future,” as¬
signing to them practically all the vir¬
tues of the civilized, as well as orig¬
inal strength and manliness.
The new nation is a branch of the
mighty Fank race, called Jaunde. Its
people number 500,000, and are in¬
creasing rapidly. The whole nation
is pushing westward from its native
region near the sources of the White
Nile.
Dr. Nekes says the people are amaz¬
ingly intelligent, powerful physically,
are fond of work and have an as¬
tonishingly rich language, In which
they can express in native idiom the
most modern things—such as cigars
and telephones.
The people are divided into three
social classes — freemen, freedmen
and slaves captured in war. Their re¬
ligion consists partly of ancestor wor¬
ship and partly of belief In ghosts.
They consider that all evil comes
from witchcraft and sorcery. Hence
they have witch-finders.
Beware of Cousins.
Cousins are not as simple as they
seem. The very fact of being a cousin,
is complicated. The laissezfaire of
cousinshlp is both eluding and
deluding—cousins will be cousins,
even if you did not choose them.
They can borrow money from you,
visit you without being asked,
tell people they belong to your fam¬
ily, contest your will, even fall in love
with you—and a cousin once removed
is twice as apt to. Never completely
trust a cousin—never depend on his
not doing any of these things. Nev¬
er take him for granted. The “cous¬
inly kiss” may or may not mean what
it means. And cousins always do kiss
—it’s part of being cousins.—Atlantic.
Competition.
She (to young poet)—How much do
you get for your poems, Charley?
Charley (with pride)—From $2 to
$5.
She—W’ell, isn’t that very little,
Charley? I see that Sir Waiter Scott
got $10,000 for one of his.
Charley—Yes, but you see, writing
poetry isn’t the business it used to be.
There’s too much competition.

Maid’s One Good Quality.
Servant girls know their own good

who was obliged to look for a new' sit¬

enumeration of her virtues as set
down in the recommendation that had
just been written by her former mis¬

“There’s one thing you’ve left out,

gers. I wish you’d put that right up
at the head of the list Ladies will

gers terrible and it looks bad.”
“Why, that Is true; you never do,”
said her mistress, and the unusual
point of efficiency, “She never cuts
her fingers,” was inserted as request¬
ed.

DYING, GETS AID IN ODD WAY
Helpless Missourian Attracts Neigh¬

Window.
St. Joseph, Mo.—Feeling himself to
be dying, following a stroke of apo¬
plexy while in bed, Frank N. Devorss,
fifty-two years old, vice-president and
general manager of the Richardson
Dry Goods company, failed to attract
the attention of his wife in a neigh¬
boring room. Rousing up and getting
out of bed be seized a shoe and with
a last effort hurled it through a win¬
dow and against the house of a neigh¬
bor. The latter crawled out his own
bedroom window and assisted the dy¬
ing man back into bed, where he
passed away before medical aid could
reach him.
