THOMAS F. WALSH.
Thomas F. Walsh, the Colorado mine
owner, has the distinction, if report
says true, of being the business part¬
ner of no less a personage than King
Leopold of Belgium. Mr. Walsh, it is
said, has signed contracts with the
king whereby the latter places several
million dollars in the hands of the
American for investment. Mr. Walsh,
although immensely wealthy, is a hard
worker and an energetic man of busi¬
ness. He was born in Tipperary. Ire¬
land, in 1851 and came to America at
SHORT HONEYMOONS.
A. Week or Tea Days Is the Correct
Thing:.
Now that among fashionable—as
well as busy people—the regulation
length for the honeymoon is being
made shorter and shorter, till a -week
or ten days has come to he considered
the correct thing, one begins to wonder
if it will soon be done away with alto¬
gether, and whether we shall revert
to the custom of our great-grandmoth¬
ers’ days, who drove from the wed¬
ding breakfast to their new home. Still
and for all that, as they say in the
Green Isle, I fancy there will always
be many who will uphold the pretty—
If modern fashion, which dedicates a
whole month—if not to the actual
"drinking of honey mead,” at least to
becoming properly acquainted with one
another without any outside distract¬
ing, and under the benign patronage of
the god Hymen. There is always some¬
thing exceedingly novel in the way of
engagement rings. Three rings fit one
over the other so as to look like one
joined by clasped hands in the middle
or by a diamond stud. On drawing this
aside the ring opens and you see two
enameled hearts, with the joint ini¬
tials, the date of the engagement and
a motto. These are both pretty and
exclusive.
BRITON’S FOOD SUPPLY.
A careful study of the question of
the food supply of the United King¬
dom, leading to results somewhat at
variance with ideas entertained on the
(Subject in some quarters, is contrib¬
uted to the Journal of the Royal Agri¬
cultural Society by Mr. K. F. Crawford.
The writer begins by estimating the
amounts received at home and import¬
ed from abroad of the four fundament¬
al articles of food—wheat, meat, pota¬
toes and milk—for all these must, he
holds, be considered in the study of
the problem. The results obtained
show that the home contribution is, in
the case of wheat, less than 25 per
cent of the whole consumption; of
meat, as regards which the state of
things is much more satisfactory,
about 62 per cent; of milk (including
Ibutter and cheese), about 55 per cent;
and of potatoes, practically the whole.
But even these figures are too favor¬
able, for the live stock raised in this
country has largely to depend on food-
^ Device For Umbrellas. 3
Many a person chooses an umbrella
or cane with a crook in the handle
simply because It is more convenient
to hang up on a rack or hook into the
pocket of the coat when it is desired
to use both hands for some other pur
pose. If the handle of the cane or
umbrella were provided with the de
vice shown in the illustration the crook
would not be needed and it would be
possible for the buyers to choose a
style of handle more desirable than
the crook. The arrangement of the
device is such that the hook is con¬
cealed when not in use forming a
smooth joint with the surface of the
stick. A slight downward pressure on
the button projecting through the
opening below releases the catch and
the hook is forced outward by the
action of the Internal spring. To re¬
place the hook in its pocket again it
ts only necessary to press it in with
the hand, the catch automatically

eighteen. He first settled at Worcester,
Mass., but soon afterward went to Col¬
orado, where by good fortune in min¬
ing and close attention to business be
has accumulated riches enough to fill
the imagination of the most avaricious.
His income is upward of $1,200,000 a
year. This he spends freely, reinvests
judiciously, and uses for the entertain¬

amusement. His lavish dinners at Paris
during the exposition were the talk

stuffs grown abroad. In view of the
difficulty of obtaining the value of
these in their converted form, Mr.
Crawford attempts to calculate the
acreage that would be necessary to
produce an equal amount of foodstuffs
at a home, finally adding this to the
area required to produce an equivalent
of the imported supplies in wheat,
meat and milk. The total number of
acres so obtained is 22,999,000, this
being considered a distinctly moderate
estimate. Therefore, as the area now
under crops and grass is 47,800,000
acres, it is clear that we could not, as
has been thought possible by some, add
to our productive surface anything ap¬
proaching the area represented byrthe
imports of wheat, meat and milk. On
the other hand, the law of diminishing
returns precludes the possibility of any
large increase of productivity through
radical changes in methods of farm¬
ing, etc. At the end of his paper Mr.
Crawford compares the state of agri¬
culture in the United Kingdom with
that prevailing in Belgium, Germany
and France, showing that there is no
foundation for the idea that the first
named is able to nearly feed her people
from her own soil, and that, judged
from the standpoint of productivity,
the system of farming in this country
is, if anything, superior to that of Bel¬
gium and far ahead of those of France
and Germany.
Ml»s Braddon a Prolific Writer.
Miss Braddon has published over
sixty novels since 18G2. Previous to
trying literature, however, Miss Brad¬
don appeared on the stage. There is
some doubt in the matter, but “An Old
Player” writes that the future novel¬
ist made her debut at the Brighton
Theater Royal in 1857, and that during
the five following months she imper¬
sonated as many as fifty-eight distinct
characters. Her stage name was Mary
Leyton, and, though now known as
Miss M. E. Braddon, she is really Mrs.
Maxwell and a widow.
Mining and Miners.
There are 365,000 men employed in

in France, England and Scotland un¬

CRIMINAL VIRTUE.
Spain’s Queer Law Prevents Kescue of
Royalty from Peril.
There Is a Spanish law that no sub¬
ject shall touch the person of the king
or queen. Alfonso XIII., king of
Spain, nearly suffered a severe fall
from this rule in his childhood. An
aunt gave him a swing. When he
used it for the'first time the motion
frightened him, and he began to cry,
whereupon a lackey lifted him quietly
out of it, and so, no doubt, prevented
him from falling. The breach of eti¬
quette, however, was flagrant and
dreadful. The queen was obliged to
punish It by dismissing the man from
his post. At the same time she show¬
ed her real feelings on the subject by
appointing him immediately to an¬
other and better place in the royal
household. In another case a queen of
Spain nearly lost her life in a dreadful
way owing to this peculiar rule. She
had been thrown when out riding, and,
her foot catching in the stirrup, she
was dragged. Her escort would not
risk interference, and she would have
been dashed to pieces but for the
heroic interposition of a young man,
who stopped the horse and released
her from her dangerous position.’As
soon as they saw she was safe, her
escort turned to arrest the traitor who
had dared to touch the queen’s foot,
but he was not to be seen. Knowing
well the penalty he had incurred, he
made off at once—fled for his life—
and did not stop until he had crossed
the frontier.—(Answers.
Penny-in-tbe-Slot Bootblack.
Nearly fifty years ago the Shoeblack
brigade was started in North London,
and since then the small box with the
footrest, the blacking and the brushes
and the boy with or without uniform
has become a recognized and almost
indispensable institution in every
large town. But now it seems that an
automatic shoeblack has been invent¬
ed, and a penny-in-the-slot will se¬
cure the desired result. You put your
foot in a black hole supplied with
brushes, and the coin sets the mechan¬
ism in motion, which brushes, blacks
and polishes in an incredibly short
space of time. The humble shoeblack,
like so many other honest citizens,
may have to go down before the ad¬
vance of machinery.
Holds Medals for Life-Saving.
Lieutenant Walter R. Gherardi, who

shorter by his great breadth. The

symmetrical proportion.

GERMANS CLAIM DAMAGES.
Want United States to Fay Lo»rm Entailed
Through War With Spain.
The German erabissy has laid be¬
fore the slate department the claims of
a number of German subjects for dam¬
ages to their interest* in Cuba as a re¬
sult of the Spanisb-American war and
the insurrection which led up to the
war itself.
This action of the German govern¬
ment has raised a most important issue
and the department of state has given
it the closest consideration. It has
been concluded, however, that the
United States government cannot re¬
sponsibility for the claims. They are
regarded as practically the same in
principle as the claim of Porto Rico
against Cuba for $2,500,000 on account
of a war loan.
Although in that case Governor
Allen, of Pcrto Rico, represented the
United States government in prefer¬
ring the claim that government was
obliged to deny its liability or the
liability of Cuba under present con¬
ditions.
The answer to the German repre¬
sentation will be based upon the reply
to Governor Allen recently made.
It is known that other governments
beside Germany have claims aggre¬
gating large sums, all based on the
Cuban insurrection and succeeding
events.

GEORGIA NEWS ITEMS
Brief Summary of Interesting
Happenings Culled at Random.
Only One Bill Vetoed.
The general appropriation bill, to¬
gether with all the measures passed by
the legislature carrying special appro¬
priations, have been formally approv¬
ed by Governor Candler.
The aggregate revenue disposed of
by all the bills signed is $3,770,000,
and while the actual income of the
state will be only $3,550,000, there
need be no loan to cover the deficit if
the governor holds that the public
property fund of $432,000 can be made
use of temporarily.
In signing the appropriation bill,
Governor Candler stated that in his
opinion the amounts given to some of
the institutions were too large, but
since he could not reduce any particu¬
lar appropriation, he had determined
to approve the bill as a whole, pro¬
vided the state was able to pay all its
obligations. number
For the first time in a great
of years all the educational institu¬
tions of Georgia have been given all
they asked for.
With the appropriations to the uni¬
versity at Athens and to the Techno¬
logical school at Atlanta it is assumed
the trustees of the two institutions
will procead to make the improvements
for which the increased appropriations
were asked. The Technological school
now has $40,000 to be used principally
in the construction of an electrical
building and further equipping the
textile department. In addition to
this the bill carries a conditional ap¬
propriation of $16,000, to be available
when the friends of the school have
raised from outsine sources a sum in
money and equipment equal to $25,
000 .
The university at Athens expects to
erect a new dormitory and make other
needed improvements with the $22,500
appropriated for this bill year. passed the
The first »nd only at
last session to which Governor Candler
has refused to give his approval is the
local measure providing for a system
of public schools in the city of Cov¬
ington. The bill was introduced by
Representative Davis, of Newton, and
no objection was raised to its passage
when it was read the third time in the
house.
Since then the people of Covington,
or a large part of them, have risen in
protest against the bill and a long pe¬
tition asked the governor to veto it
was sent in.
Is Now Heavy Artillery.
The Savannah Volunteer Guard is
now a battalion of heavy artillery.
The order making the change from in¬
fantry to artillery was issued a day or
two ago by Adjutant General Robert¬
son, to be effective immediately. This
order is in obedience to the action of
the legislature which passed a special
act authorizing the change.
The Savannah Volunteer Guard is
one of the oldest military organiza¬
tions in the state and for a long time
previous to the war between the states
was a battalion of heavy artillery. At
the beginning of the civil war the
four companies constituting the Guard
entered the service of the confederacy
wearing the uniform of the artillery
and since that time, although des¬
ignated as infantry, have always kept
the red stripes.
The making of a separate battalion
of the Volunteer Guard gives to the
First Georgia regiment but eight com¬
panies. It is not thought that this
will cause a change in tbe other regi¬
ments of the state troops.
Mandamus Against FftsureratcL
In the United States court at Sa¬
vannah Judge Emory Speer issued a
mandamus against the city of Fitz¬
gerald to show cause Monday, Janu¬
ary 7th, why a tax levy shall not be
made ou the citizens to satisfy a judg¬
ment against Fitzgerald. The plaintiff
is a fire extinguisher company of Chi¬
cago having a judgment for $2,700 for
fire aparatus.
Hemphill Is Commissioner.
Colonel W. A. Hemphill of Atlanta
lias been appointed by Governor Can¬
dler as commissioner for Georgia to

In a special message to tbe legislature
some weeks ago the governor indicated

order of sale for $21,000. The court
was of the opinion that it was worth
more than the Ciaflin bid. An effort
will be made to sell the stock possibly

Columbus People Pleased.
The announcement that in the ap¬
propriation and bill, as made committee up by the
rivers harbors at
Washington, the Chattahoochee river
below Columbus is given $85,000, is
extremely gratifying to the people of
Columbus, and at other places down
the river. This is the biggest appro-
print ion by far over obtained for tlio
Chattahoochee river, and the credit, is
due to the energetic labors of Con*
gressman VV. C, Adamson and associ¬
ates, and the intelligent efforts of the
Columbus and Apalachicola Deep
Water association, in behalf of the
stream.
The largest federal appropriation
prior to this was $45,000, in 1899,
scoured by Judge Adamson and his
associates. The average appropriation
bus been $20,000, and the appropria¬
tions have beau very irregular at that.
Not counting the $85,000 appropriation
just, decided upon, the total appropria¬
tions for the Chattahoochee river have
been $357,000. The first appropriation
was $2,000, in 1835. The next aid
received from the federal government
was in ihe seventies.
The $85,000 appropriation of this
congress, therefore, will be nearly
one-fourth as much as all previous
appropriations to date. With this
money a great deal of useful and long
delayed work can bo done.
Jutlgrn Candler Is Sworn In.
Judge John S. Candler has been
sworn in by the governor as presiding
officer of the Stone Mountain circuit, such
and was given his commission as
for four years.
Judga Candler is ono of the best
known and most popular men on the
bench in Georgia. As judge presiding
of the criminal branch of the Fulton
superior court he has made a record
for his clean-cut decisions and faculty
for olearing a heavy docket in the
shortest possible time.
Myers » Candidate.
Mayor Herman Myers, of Savannah,
announces that he will positively be a
candidate for mayor.
“I have consented that my name
shall go before a mass meeting of the
citizens,” he said, “as a candidate for
another term as mayor. I have reached
this conclusion after a careful consid¬
eration of the question. I was averse
to becoming a candidate unless I felt
assured that a large element of our
citizens desired me to do so. It was not
merely a question of the existing clubs
supporting me, but whetner there was
a desire outside the circle of my po¬
litical friends that I should stand for
another term.”
