BIG ADVERTISER'S GUESTS

COL. 'DILLINGHAM TAKES 800
NEWSBOYS [TO SEE PLAY.
AL
™Mr. Bell, 'the Popular Druggists, Re
lates Story of One of Col Dilling
ham's Acts of Philanthropy.
Mr. Bell. the well-known druggists,
speaking of Col. Dillingham's remark
able advertising campaign in this
section, [related an incident he wit
nessed while up north, characteristic
of Col. Dillingham’s recognized gen
erosity, and exhibits clippings from
prominent northern dailies comment
ine on them as follows: .
“‘At a northern theatre one night
this spring,’’ Mr. Bell said, ‘‘over 800
wildly happy newsboys witnessed the
celebrated detective play, ‘Sherlock
Holmes—the Sign of the Four,’ as
presented by Mr. Walter Edwards and
his excellent company. Mr. Edwards
taking the part of Sherlock Holmes,
the famous detective. The boys were
the " guests of Col. Dillingham, the
well-known advertiser of Plant Juice
remedies, and after meeting at Foun
tain Square were escorted to the opera
house by Col. Dillingham in person.
"The boys marched in a long line, two
abreast, headed by a band playing,
‘Hail, hail. the gang’s all here!” which
was sung by the boys at the top of
{heir voices as they marched along.
As they swung through the streets,
band playing, long lines of happy
newsboys’ faces, with Col. Dilling
ham in his handsome victoria, drawn
by his beautiful horses bringing up
the rear, the sight was so unusual that
the many thousands of people who
lined the way, in spite of the rain, and
witnessed the affair, cheered and
cheered again. |
““The newsboys, through the cour
tesy of their papers, had been furnish
ed with banners to carry on the oc
casion, which they displayed \nthi
great enthusiasm, chief among which,
2nd the one in which they took espec
ial delight, being a large banner bear- |
ing the inseription: ‘Sherlock Holmes
was a newsboy—so was Col Dilling
ham,’ which was greeted with roars ()f{‘
laughter bv the crowd. |
““The boys was veceived at the the
atre by a squad of six police, drawn
up in two lines, through which they
passed, and with one last wild cheer |
for Col. Dillingham, they scurried
through the lines of smiling police-
Jnen and dashed for their seats in the
opera house.
“There were some, however, who
had not been able to secure tickets
when they were given out. and, notic
ing this before he drove away, Col.
Dillingham threw these boys handfuls
of money to enable them to go in. Thei
immense crowd which remained out-l
side of the opera house called, ‘Speech!
speech!’ to the great advertiser. He
only smiled and bowed his acknowl
edgements, and motioned to his coach
man to drive on.
“If pandemonium had reigned dur
ing the line of march, it was mild to
what took place inside the theatre.
The play, ‘Sherlock Holmes." a dram
atization of A. Conan Dovle's famous
detective story, ‘l'he Sign of the
Four;’ by Charles P. Rice, is the
most wildly exciting detective story |
ever seen in that city, and the bu,\'s]
fairly gasped with deiigul during the
exciting ineidents of the performance.
“Mr. Edwards was called to the
front by them again and aza.n, and
after the great climax of the third act,
wher: Sheriock Holmes escapes tfrom |
what looks likes certain death to
rescue the beautiful Mary Marstoa, as
played by Miss Mabel Ilazlett. the
boys fairly raised the roof off the;
opera house, and callel so many
times for the star that he was finally
forced to come before the footlights
and make a shovt speech. He said:
‘Boys, during this intermission the
orchestra will play the Newsboys’
March, as composed by Mr. O. E.
Sutton, and I hope you will give them |
as hearty an encore as you have my
gelf and company for the sake of Col.
Dillingham, whose guests you are to
night. {
“Phis was a signal for another out- |
burst from the boys, which only sub
sided as the leader waved his baton|
for the opening of the march.
““Miss Mabel Hazlett. who is play
ing leading lady in ‘The Sign of the
Four,’ 1s a Cincinnatti girl. She was

GAGE TARBELL'S GALLANTRY.
How Insurance Man Was Kind to
“Handkerchief Mary.”
“Handkerchief Mary,” bowed with
the weight of years, is convimced that
Gage L. Tarbell of the Kquitable Life
Assurance society as a gallant is the
peer of any knight of the olden tiines,
says the New York World.
It was on a Sixth avenue and Am
sterdam car in New York that the two
met the other night. *“Handkerchief
Mary” got into an open car. The seat
was crowded. lour women and one
man occupied if, and one woman was
standing. The additional passenger,
her basket on her arm, found ditficulty
in getting aboard the car. The tall,
brown mustached man occupying the
‘ end seat courteously gave her his
place. Wkhen the car stopped at Sev
{ enty-first. street the courteous one,
| who was Mr. Tarbell, alighted, aided
1 “Handkerchief Mary” to alight and
handed her the basket. Then he bow
ed as if in a ballroom and got on the
car, leaving her standing on the side
r walk looking after him, amazement
| personified. ;
| “Law sakes,” ejaculated the old wo
| man, “but ain’t he the gentleman?”
" Then she trudged on, happy because
- onee in her lite she had been treated
like a “real leady.”

| A BRIGHT GEORGIA BOY.
Young Jones Stood at Head of 113
Students at West Point.
Much as the new south has a right
to rejoice over its material prosperity,
it has ground fop still greater satis
faction in the bright and capable
' voung men it is rearing, says Leslie’s
' Weekly. In every walk in life and in
every section of the country its youth
ful sons are winning laurels and
‘marching on to suceess. This holds
true in the halls of learning as well
as in the arena of practical life. Some
of the best students in our northern
universities hail from below the Ma
son and Dixon's line, while in the two
big government schools—at Annapolis
and West Point—the cadets from the
south are making excellent records.
The chief honors of the graduating
class at the military college this year
were won by a Georgian, Dewitt (.
Jones, who stood at the head of 113
future generals, while the second man
was a North Carolinian. This was a |
'very good showing for the southern
ers. _Although academic success does
not necessarily imply a genius for act
ual warfare, it does indicate a devo
tiom to duty and mental powers that
go far to make an efficient army offi- 1
cer. Having been taithful and compe- |
tent in the days of his training, Cadet
Jones mayv be expected to make his“
mark in whatever field of military duty
he may in the course of his career be|
called to. |

ITHE JAPANESE ARE A NATION
OF NOTEBOOKS.
e
How Japan's Seamen Eagerly Took
Instructions from a Retired
British Naval Officer.
Japan's seamen and their training
for her navy is thus described in the
Detroit News-Tribune by W. J. Hard
ing, a retired fleet engineer of the Brit
ish navy:
My modest share in the training of
Japan's navy was a very valuable ex
perience, because all the time I was
teaching the Japanese the Japanese
were teaching me. They studied with
the same determination, the same con
centration of energy with which they
have since fought, and they gave me a
splendid object lesson in what pure pa
triotism can do for & man even in
peaceful study.
The Japanese does not put forth his
energies with the primary object of
outstripping his fellows in the race for
Mmsition, but in the hope of being of
‘I great service to his country. Should he
}‘ be offered the post of admiral when he
felt certain that he would be more use
ful as a gunner he would cheerfully re
‘main in the humbler position.
When I took charge of the students
of marine engineering 1 gave them the
Keyham course, instructing them en
tirely in lEnglish, even the words of
command being taught to them in our
language. They were simply gluttons
for knowledge.
IFor a time I was somewhat mystified
by seeing tiny disks of red blotting pa
per dotted about their books of instruc
tion, but I discovered eventually that
it was the custom to place a disk op
posite any item which was not perfectly
clear, and not until they had thorough
ly mastered the troublesome point
would they flick that disk away. As a
matter of fact, the disk never remained
in one place long.
The faculty of observation is one of
the greatest assets in the Japanese
character. During the last generation
Japanese students have been sent to
every corner of the world where any
thing useful was to be learned in con
nection with naval warfare, and every
one of those students has sent home
regular and full reports.
One of the first rules I had to learn
as a teacher in Japan was this: The
Japanese student cannot in any way
be scolded into learning. The Russians
drill their men with whips; the Ger
mans notoriously mistake bullying for
discipline, and even in the British navy
corporal punishment is not altogether
rnknown. The disgrace of being struck
would make a Japauese, lhowever,
commit harakiri—the national form of
suicide—immediately. When a man's
*very best” is not good enough, the
niizery of being a failure is quite pun
ishiment enough for him. ‘
Not oniy the oflficers and engineers, |
Lt even the ordinary seamen, provide
them=elves with notebooks. The Jap
anese are, in faet, a nation of note
book=. They are clever imitators, as
witiiess their copying of the Britishi
navy: but they are also clever iuitiu-l
tors, and in prol:ably every seaman’s
notebook will be found at least ouel
braud new idea of his own, which in
gue course will be submitted to his
streriors. I am not ashamed to say
that whiie teaching my students I got
oore than one good *“wrinkie” from
thot:. '
We have taught the Japanese all we '
keow about cable making for heavy
suips, and in this connection it is in
teresting to note that a wooden man
of-war which thcy built before 1860
Lad anchor cables made of women's
Lair! It was claimed for these cables
that they were stronger than any ty
phoon.
We have taught the Japanese how
to make guns, but we cannot teach
them anything in the art of muking'
the bronze for the guns. Their bronze
is incaleulably superior to ours audl
withstands any climate for genera
tions. British Dbrounze, on the other
Lond, soon corrodes. The new statue
of Boadicea on Westminster bridge is
already showing signs of corrosion,
and the Trafalgar square lions and
Thames embankment sphinxes, al
though by no means old, are noticeably
rotting. A Japanese cannon in South
sea, however, is as good as ever, after ‘
abont thirty years’ exposure to our cli
mate. |
GEORGIA MILITIA THREATENED
State May Soon Be Without Military I
Rig Appropriation Is Not Made.
it now appears that unless the leg
islature appropriates $50,000 at this
session Georgia may soon be without
a militia force. Under the Dick army
bill the state is given six years to per
fect her organization. Itwill cost $150,-
000 to do this in Geovgia, the amount
named, together with the amount for
the coming years from the govern
ment. will accomplish this. llf the
state fails to perfect this condition the
government money will be divided
among the other states.
Comfort Induces Somnolence.
That it isn’t right to be comfortable
in echurch is the conclusion reached by
a Massachusetts clergyman. He has,
therefore instructed his parishioners
to take their footrests and cushions
out of the church and carry them
home, and to leave them there. The
preacher says that too many comforts
in the pews induce somnolence, when
the people ought to be sitting bolt up
right listening to the expounding of
the word.

FARM FOR SILVER FOXES.
Rure Alaska Animals to Be Bred For
Their Furs.
Joseph J. Harrison of Philadelphia,
who is connected with a fur corpora
tion, is in Livingston, Mon., for the
purpose, he says, of studying the cli
matic conditions of Park county with
a view to establishing a farm for the
| breeding of silver foxes in this locality,
says a Livingston special dispatch to
the St. Louis Republic. He says the
company he represents already has
such a farm, in Alaska, but the com
pany wishes to experiment with the
fur of animals bred in a milder cli
mate.
“Of small animals,” sald Mr. Harri
| son, discussing the project, “by far
] the most valuable pelt is that of the
nearly extinct silver fox. The company
1 represent makes a business of breed
ing animals for their pelts, but until
4 short time ago we never attempted
] to raise the silver fox, as the animal
is very difficult- to capture and as it
!usu;llly does not thrive in captivity.
' We have, however, a small number of
the little animals on an Alaskan farm.
i It has been suggested that perhaps a
| finer quality of fur could be raised in
' a milder climate, and it seems to me
that the conditions in Park county are
favorable for the experiment.”
Farmer Jowers Has Closed His Hold
ings. About $13.000 Was
Thus Realized.
Perhaps the largest single lot of cot
ton held by any planter in southwest
Georgia has just been sold in Ameri
cus at a figure which nets a snug for-|
tune to the man who swung on to his’
bales, even when cotton dropped down
to the six cent mark. A e
This sale was of 250 bales, tbelong
ing to Mr. W. P. Jowers. Mr. C. J.
White bought the entire lot at the
round price of 10¢ cents. i
The transaction probably netted
Mr. Jowers something like $13,000. |
The recent rise in values induced
Mr. Jowers to put his bales upon the
market, although for six months past
he has been in no hurry to do so. l-}ut]
Mr. Jowers never hurries to sell his
cotton, oftimes keeping his entire crop |
a whole year if he likes. ‘
This condition is made possible by |
the fact that he lives at home and cot- |
ton is a surplus crop. i
When prices took a tumble in De- |
cember Mr. Jowers was not in the]
least disconcerted. His 250 cotton |
bales were his own, and he could hold |
them until Gabriel sounded his cor- |
net solo if he desired. If he didn’t
sell this year he would sell next year. {
But 10¢ cents proved a tempting
price, and he let it go.
At an average of $52 per bale this
price netted Mr. Jowers the handsome
amount of $13,000. Mr. C. J. White
bought his entire holdings.—Ameri

B. F. Leek of Concord, Ky., says:
“For 20 vears I suffered agonies, with
a sore on my upper lip, so painful
sometimes, that 1 could not eat. After

it with Bueklen’s Arnica Salve.”’ It’s
