HIS LAUGH WAS HIS FORTUNE. An Arkansas Steamboat Captain's Jollity Mado Him Famous. "Ever hear of a man who made a fortune out of his laugh?" said a guest of the St. Charles as he looked over the register. “I have heard of girls whose faces were their fortunes, but I knew a man whose laugh was positively his fortune. That name—Sam B. Adams— on the register there reminds me of ft man who made a fortune out of his laugh. His name was John D. Adams, and he was the father of Sam, tho gentleman registered there. John D. Adams was a typical steamboatman of Arkansas, and inaddition to his steam- boating wab a planter of extensive interests, and was connected with other business enterprises. He was the first man to run a steamboat up the Arkansas River, and his name in that State to-day is a synonyme for genial- ity, courage and business success. He was very successful, and his friends used to attribute his success to iilB wondrous laugh. It was not bolster- ous, yet loud, and was so musical and jolly that one could imagine old Kris Kringle was personified in him. Other river men would say that his laugh got him all the Government mail contracts. He would go to Wash- ington, get acquainted with the man who had charge of the contracts, and he, like all of Adams's new acquaint¬ ances, would soon come under the in¬ fection of his magnetic laugh, and form a genuine admiration for the grizzled old steamboatman. He was known at the hotel by everybody, and was pointed out for years by a colored porter, to whom he once gave a $5 gold piece as a tip in a fit of jollifi¬ cation over the closing of a big con¬ tract in his favor. ‘Amazing tales were told of his cour- age and his steamboat experience-,. On one occasion, when an accident hap- pened to his boat and the passengers became panicstricken, he calmed them as if by magic by calling them child- ren, and laughing at their fear—his famous laugh impelling confidence and mirth by its very melody and jollity. He even used his laugh when very much angered; but It was of a very different character, and death lurked behind it. In a steamboat quarrel with three desperadoes once he denounced them with a laughing accompaniment, a cynical, chilling, dangerous kind of laugh, his eyes glittering like a snake’s, and liis forefinger on his re¬ volver, ready to dash out the life of the first one who made a move. One of the desperadoes said afterward in speaking of the occurrence that he never felt so queerly before in his life. He said he felt as though the very marrow in his hones was being fro¬ zen.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Give Us Rest. This is the prayer of tho nervous who do not sleep well.

Wefors, the New Champion, Weighs 185 Pounds. Of all the men who In running re¬ galia ever faced a starter on a cinder track, Bernard J. Wefers, who a few days ago broke the world’s record by running the hundred yard3 in 9 3-3 seconds, probably fulfills best the re¬ quirements of an ideal runner. With depth of chest that bespeaks ample lung room, his lithe body tap¬ ers to the waist, and his world-beat¬ ing legs, strung with tendons of steel, are of a minimum weight He has nothing to carry save that which is of eminent use to him in his task. Perhaps the vital element, after all, in a runner is “sand.” If Wefer's ree- ord of victories over famous competl- tors were not sufficient proof of his grit, his face, with its square jaw, firm set mouth, piercing eyes and. aggro sive nose, should tell the story plainly. He hails from Lawrence, Mass. His fiectness was Inherited. His father was an athlete of skill and a runner hard to beat. The present champion is but ’>3 years of age. and has been running for four years. He is six feet tail in his stockings and weighs 185 pounds. When he first made his appearance on the cinder track good judges saw no future for him. His was a weight un- heard of for a runner to carry. The years that, have intervened have prov- en that the critics did not know, Unlike most runners, Wefers, in mo- tion, Is straight as an arrow. His style is very graceful, and with his long, elastic stride, he seems to travel al- most without effort. He gathers speed as he goes, and is famed in the athletic world as a strong “finisher.” No picture could convey more of tension and alertness than does that which represents Wefers crouching for the start, Every nerve and fibre is him are strung like a piano wire. And it is not for the gallery. He is prob- ably one of the quickest starters in the world. He never in a race has permitted any competitor to pace Mm. He takes the lead from the start, and in the vast majority of his races has held it with such display of speed as has made the whole world wonder. Another phenomenal thing about this phenomenal man is that his mar¬ velous efforts do not seem to affect him after the manner of most athletes of his class. It is a familiar sight on athletic tracks to see runners, after breasting the tape, utterly collapsed, and half carried to the clubhouse by their friends. Not. so with Wefers. After break¬ ing the world’s records he has amazed tbe onlookers by jumping a jig on the greensward for joy and trotting off to the dressing room with the alacri¬ ty of a colt. It will he a long day before anybody sees his like.—New York Journal. Cupolas Made of Paper. Paper cupolas for building are re¬ markable for their lightness. A cupo¬ la of that kind consists of from twen¬ ty-four to thirty separate pieces, and is produced over a wooden model by pasting huge rolls of suitable paper one over the other. Every separate yieeo runs from the ba3e to the top of the hemispherical roof of the cupo¬ la, thus foims a vauit-like strip which is bread at the bottom and narrow at the top. For the production of these separate parts of the cupola roll paper of very good quality is used, which is first cut, says the Philadelphia Record, into the requisite length and breadth, thou moistened and sretched over the wood¬ en model. Upon the first strip is past¬ ed another, also moistened, over this a third, and so on until the necessary thickness is reached. The moistened strips of paper adhere firmly to each olh*r and retain their concave shape, and after being dried constitute hard, resisting pieces, which are mado weatherproof by oiling, polishing with Lot irons, asphalting and varnishing, and arc then put together in the shape of a round cupola. Will False Teeth Grow? It is reported that a Russian dentist has solved the problem of supplying us with false teeth which will grow into the gums as firmly as natural ones. His method is to bore holes at the root of gutta-percha or porce¬ lain teeth and also in the jaw. After the tooth has been placed in the cavi¬ ty a soft granulated growth finds its way from the jaw into the holes of the tooth, which, he claims, gradually hardens and holds the tooth in posi- ion. A number of American dentists standing at the head of their profes¬ sion have, however, declared that the "’ussian’s alleged discovery is a fraud. • HE WAS CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF GREATER NEW YORK. THE END CSME VERT SUDDENLY. The Champion of .Ti-ffersonlan nomocr.vcy Falls Under Strain of a Vlgoro.un Campaign—The Son Substituted. Henry George, author of “Progress and Poverty,” and candidate of the Jeffersonian democracy for mayor of Q rea (- er jj ew York ' died suddenly at _ . . . o clock Friday morning a he Union Square hotel in that city of cerebral apoplexy. j Q ft j.

' “ ' ■ “I I make . this . race tf it costs me m 7 llfe - Tlns ‘ s a cal1 to “) ^ an<1 as a good citizen I have no light, to dis- regard ll ° n account of mere .personal considerations. Mr. George arrived _ at le bote about 1 o clock in the morning. He had just returned from several large mass meetings m the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn. The work of the night seemed to have told on him. He complained of being tired, . but his friends and relatives who waited on him thought it was only the natural fatigue that follows such hard cam¬ paign work as Mr. George has been doing. Not long after reaching the hotel be was stricken down. Thus the cheers of the campaign workers were suddenly changed to sighs, for true to his word, Henry George, the apostle of the rights of man, died as he wished to die—in harness fighting for the cause—toward the close of the greatest municipal political campaign the world has ever seen. Tho end was peaceful and he died without pain. physically frail Mr. George was and the strain of an exciting campaign re¬ quiring speech-making at points many miles apart, night after night, was more than nature could stand. He spoke at Whitestone at 8 o’clock and made speeches at College Point and Flushing before returning to New York to speak at the Central opera house. Mrs. George went with him. All the halls in which he spoke were filled and at College Point and Flush¬ ing crowds were turned away. At Whitestone he drove from tbe railroad station to the meeting hall at a gallop. To the cheering crowds he said: “I believe that' all needed reforms are summed up in that pkilosopy—the right of every men to eat., to drink, to speak as he sees fit, so long as he does not trench on the rights of any other man. I believe that God, the Father, can take care of His own laws—there is no need for ub to get into trouble trying to meddle with God’s laws, to enforce them. If I am elected, and I believe that I will be elected, I will enforce the law upon the rich and poor alike.” Henry George was fifty-eight years old, being born on September 2,1839. He received a common school educa¬ tion 1881; “Social Problems,” 1883; “Property in Land,” a controversy with the Duke of Argyle, 1884; “The Condition of Labor,” an open letter to Pope Leo NIII., 1891; and a “Per¬ plexed Philosopher,” (Herbert Spen¬ cer) 1892. In 1886 Mr. George was nominated by tbe United Labor party for mayor of New York, polling 68,000 votes, against 90,000 for Abram S. Hew r itt, the democratic nominee, and 60,000 for Roosevelt, now assistant secretary of the navy, republican. After his nomination for mayor by the Jeffersonian democrats several weeks ago, Mr. George made an ex¬ tremely active canvass, speaking sev¬ eral times every evening and working from early to late at his headquarters. The Son Substituted. At 11 o’clock Friday morning the Thomas Jefferson democracy held a meeting and submitted the name of Henry George, Jr., for the name of his father, Henry George, as candidate for mayor of Greater Now York. The nomination was accepted. Henry George, Jr., was born in Sacramento, Cal., in 1862. Ho Was educated in the public schools of San Francisco. COTTON MEN COME SOUTH.

Claim the Money, But “There Are Others.” The sentence of old man Delk to life imprisonment for complicity in the murder of Sheriff Gwyn, of Pike county, causes the long held up re¬ ward to fall due to his captors. The money has already been claimed by Detectives Looney, Hewitt and Mehaffey, of Atlanta, but will not be paid until the question of other- claim¬ ants is definitely disposed of.

TORPEDOES NOT PRIMED. As a Result a Big Naval Scandal is Pre¬ cipitated in Greece. A profound sensation has been caused at Athens, Greece, by a naval scandal of formidable dimensions. It has just been ascertained that all the cartridges fitted to the torpedoes during the war between Greece and Turkey were not provided with per¬ cussion caps and fulminating mercury. Hence, if the torpedoes had been wanted they would have been perfectly harmless. The anti-dynasty newspapers are making violent attacks upon Prince George, of Greece, who was the com¬ mander of the torpedo flotilla. The prince, who was a great favorite with the masses previous to the war, is deeply affected by these attacks. CLAIM IS GUARANTEED. Union Pacific Debt, Principal and Inter¬ est, Is Forthcoming. Attorney General McKenna has fully confirmed the statements heretofore made by the Associated Press as to the recent offer of the reorganization com¬ mittee and its acceptance by the gov¬ ernment, by which the full amount of the government’s claim against the main line of the Union Pacific road, principal and interest, is guaranteed. This amount is something in excess of 858,000,000 and includes outstand¬ ing government bonds issued in aid of the road to the amount of 819,076,512. Of this sum $15,919,512 becomes due on January 1, 1898, and $3,157,000 on January 1, 1899. GOES ON THE BLOCK. Confederate Soldier's Home at Atlanta to Be Sold November 10th. The Confederate Soldier’s Home at Atlanta is to be sold on November 10th.

The Texas populist state executive committee held two secret sessions at Dallas Thursday, and it is learned that the committee advises the party in Texas to stand by the Omaha plat¬ form in national issues, but in state affairs to support any movement to redeem tho state from democratic ring rule. This is accepted by many as being a bid to fuse in next year’s state cam¬ paign with all elements opposed to the regular democratic organization on itate, county and legislative tickets.

A COLLISION OF TROLLEY CARS, Voting: Man Killed In tho Wreck and Many Others Receive More or Bess Serious Injuries. The football game between the Vir- 8i „,„ team, at Bri.biuo Park, Atlanta, On., Saturday resulted disastrously. One of the Georgia players, Richard Yon Gammon, of Rome, received in- juries from which hediod at the Grady _ , hospital early Sunday morning. After the game was over, a trolley car, crowded with spectators of the contest, collided with an outgoing car from the city, resulting in the death of * Carlisle, and the a young man named probably fatal wounding of Motorman Reeves. Many of tbe passengers on both cars were more or less seriously injured. who Many of the passengers saved their were lives on the front platform almost by jumping. Tho cars were re- duced to kindling wood. The reason young Carlisle was killed was because he was standing in front of the car, close to the motorman. He was on the outgoing car. All the passengers were shaken up and quite a number of them complain- of being a little sore after the collis- j 01] The two sad accidents east a gloom over the entire city. This is the first serious accident that has occurred in a football game in Atlanta in many years. held inquest The coroner’s jury an over young Carlisle Sunday and re- turned the following verdict: “We, the jury, impaneled and sworn by J.

They have an- nounced that they will play no longer,, and that they hare disbanded. Many of them declare tnat they will never play another game of football on any team or field. The tragedy, which has never before been equaled in athletic games in Georgia, it seems almost certain will be the end of the popular game in the state; certainly it will be the end of the game as it is played now,, if the minds of the legislators do not change. SUNDAY’S FEVER RECORD. The Situation Seems to 15e M-ore Hopeful at New Orleans. Sunday was an encouraging day in the yellow fever situation at New Orleans,, but it is feared that the heavy rain which has fallen will have a bad effect on the patients and will cause many more new cases to be developed.

Information has been received by the lighthouse board at Washington that the new lighthouse vessel No. 09, which was recently placed on the dia- mond shoal off 11 atteras, rode out tho recent storm successfully. Reports from stations along the coast show that the storm was the most severe in many years and tbe sue- cess with which the new vessel rode it out is regarded as proof positive that the contention that no vessel could bo held in that position through a heavy gaie is not well founded.

DEATH IN HORNING MINE. Seven Men Bose Their T,lvcs In the Bowels of the Earth. The most fatal mine disaster in the Lackawanna, or Wyoming, coal fields since the Twin shaft horror at Pitts- ton, over a year ago, was developed in the fire which gutted the river slope of the Delaware and Hudson Com- pany’s Von Storch mine in Scranton, Pa., Saturday. At least seven men are known to have been suffocated by smoke and possibly ono other, a Polander, is numbered among the dead. The slope extends down through three veins. J00 aaJ tlle J a tter sixty feet from the surface. They had but two avenues of escape. The shorter route was by way of the slope which was a sea of flames for |)e(lrly twe)ve honrs a(ld ; a yefc burn- ing noar its foot, and the other route was via cross cuts to gangways which lead to an air shalf nearly a mile from the spot where they were working. Fire kept them out of the slope and the smoke, which backed out and m . to . all tbe workings, prevented escape through all the cross-cuts. The supposition is that the men were suffocated. NEW ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN Of the Georgia State Library—Miss S. Y. Jewett—Appointed by Gov. Atkinson. The long and vigorous contest for tbe position of assistant state librarian yielded a victory last week in the ap- pointnaent of Miss busie Y. Jewett to that position. by Miss Jewett was appointed (tov- ernor Atkinson for tbe unexpired term, made vacant by the resignation of Mrs. Ellen Dortch-Lougstreet. While Miss Jewett wns appointed for the unexpired term, she is and has been an applicant for the position of assistant state librarian for the full term, and her friends are very confi- dent that she will be appointed for the full term by the next state librarian, to whom this power will be delegated by the governor. Miss Jewett has resigned an excellent and permanent position in the state ed- ueational department to accept the po- sition G f assistant librarian. Of the numerous applicants for this position, none better prepared or fitted for its duties could have been selected than Miss Jewett. Her careful and efficient discharge of the duties of her position in the educational department demon- strates her capability to assist in the conduct of a department of state, and her knowledge of public matters, her efficiency and talent in liteiary affairs make it quite certain that, if for no other reason, the incoming librarian will find her such a capable and help- ful assistant that she will be retained for the long term. --—- - TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL CLOSED, After a Magnificent Display of Fireworks the Doxology Was Sung.
