Men of forty, tho ago when every mnn hot a fool la supposed to have acquired tbe right to glvo medical advice, at least to himself, will relate tbolr various wonderful.dlscovcrles and remarkablo self cures Just as they bad given up all hope, and In general these reduce themselves to this: "I ato less meat, but I did not know It, and I took a grant deal more fruit, especially ap ples."

A negro, who gives his name as Henry Thomas, was arrested yesterday by Atlantio Coast Line Policeman L. B. Bryan for stealing a coat and hat from another negro. Thomas, oi whatever bis name is, bears un. mistakable evidence of having done time on the chain gang somewhere quite recently. A piece of the negro’s right ear is missing, has been shot left of backbone, the*ball;coming out at front of loft, thigh. The negro is about 24 or 27 years old, is of a ginger cake color, has mous tache, has cold black eyes, five feet, three and a half feet high weighs about 150 pounds and wears a number 8 shoe. On tho negro’s left leg is two large scars, one fresh, and tbe other an old one, probably made by wearing shackles. Mr. Bryan is of the opinion that the negro is wanted somowhero to finish serving out a sentence. In the meantime, Thomas is being held in jail for stealing the hat and 1 ■“P.fo ft?. with mineral foods •anil tho dlgestlvo tract with adds.

Cap. Purse Reports From The West. Cap. D. G. Purse, who re turned to Savannah Sunday from a trip throughQtho west, says he considers the prospects of Democratic success lobe bets ter than ever. ‘While on my trip I mingled freely with the masses of all political faiths,’’ said Captain Purse to a reporter of tho Press, and from wlnt I learned in that way I think Parker’s chances much improved since *my tripin June and July. The labor trou bles have considerable to do with this. Oregon, which is natur ally a Democratic State, is very strong for Parkor. Colorado, because of minting troubles is now certain. In Utah, another State where I spent some of my time, the Republicans are He- Tided upon the Mormon questiou and the Democrats are takiug advantage of it by doing straight politics, and democratic success seems assured there ” PRE-EMPTED BY BfRDS.

It Is not until May tbat the feathered hosts arrive from tho far south ut this sundy rendezvous, in the van come the noddles, a few about the lat of May and the rest within a few days. A week later the sooty terns pour In, and It is said that within a week of their arrival both kinds begin to lay. At the time of our coming nearly all tbe birds had eggs and wero deVotlng themselves to their family cares. To reach the buildings from the little landing place we had to pass through a tract of bushes, und here It was that I saw the first nests of the noddles. Up on tbo tops or In tho forks of tho bush es each pair had built a rather rude yet fairly substantial platform of sticks, only slightly hollowed, and upon each ono sut a dark gray bird. There was something about these graceful little creatures tbat lpstantly took me by storm, a caso of love at first sight Tbe noddy is very much like a dovo-ex- cept for lta webbed foot—In size, In form, In tbo softness of Its plumage, the expression of Its large dark eyes and Its gentle, confiding ways. There Is no wild affright as the stranger ap proaches. Just a shadow of f^ar Is evi dent, bat the birds sit quietly on their nests, hoping and trusting, and do not fly unless approuebed almost within arm’s reach. Then they flit gently away, alighting upon a neighboring bush until the intruder has withdrawn, when they return directly to their charge.

No matter how elaborately pre seated they may bo, they fall to appeal to the publio and soon go on the shelf. Bat a melo-drama like ‘‘Hainan Hearts” holds its original'charm. It has been seen throughout the country for the past ten years, yet there is no decrease in pnbljo interest in this delightful play. It contains all the elements of success—pax thos, villiany and comedy.
