1 Peculiar fe.
Instituted in the Jacksonville Circuit
Court is a case that Is almost without
parallel, wherin a divorced wife seeks ali
mony from a man other than her di
vorced husband. The case is that of An
nie M. Rebston. who wants SIO,OOO dam
ages from Sheriff N. B. Broward. The
ground for the action is a peculiar one.
as wdl be seen from the declaration filed:
Mrs. Rebston. in 1891, obtained a divorce
from A. M. Rebsron. and also a decree
for alimony of $lO per month. Though
hard fought In both the Circuit and Su
preme Courts by Rebston, the decisions
were always against him. and he had to
continue to pay. At various times when
he foiled to pay he was committed to jail
as being in contempt of court for not
obeying the order to pay. Three months
ago Rebston left for Hot Springs, Ark.,
and has not returned. Mrs. Rebston
claims that alimony was due her when
he left, and the amount is now more than
$l5O. and that i< was to be collected by
the sheriff and paid over to her. but was
not done. Her attorney now brings suit
against the sheriff for allowing him to
depart from the Jurisdiction of the court,
and for other causes.
LACES IN WIFE'S LINGERIE.
Baltimore Man %rrete*l for Conceal
ing Dnliable Good*.
From the New York Herald.
Louis Noot, an elderly business man, of
Baltimore. Md.. reached this port, with
hie wife, on the Red Star Line steamship
Friesland yesterday, and by the simple
expedient of omitting to mention som*>
laces stowed away in his baggage found
himself before many hours obliged to
give hail to escape passing the night in
a cell.
Mr. Noot's arrest is a tribute to the
American system of keeping customs
agents In foreign ports. He brought
:hree big trunks and several other pieces
of baggage when ho arrived, and. for some
reason which government authorities will
request him to explain, he concealed in
his shirts and in Mrs. Noot's stockings.
skirt Hand lingerie, in the bottom of his
trunks, about SI,OOO worth of lace. It
pays an ad valorem duty of GO per cent.
The Friesland came from Antwerp. On
the pier at the foot of Fulton street. Mr.
Noot’s baggage was examined in the usual
fashion by’ an inspector. That |s to say,
Mr. Noot’s declaration that he had noth
! ing to declare was virtually accepted, and
| hi* trunk? were opened and the contents
! received a few pokes, the lids being then
shut down and the baggage marked with
chalk in the mystic fashion which signi
fies *'Passed.”
Mr. Noot and his wife left the pier for
the Hotel Victoria, leaving orders for the
baggage to be sent thither. But the cus
tom* authorities had received word from
Europe that Ix>uis Noot was bringing
dutiable article* into this country*. Spe
cial Employe Theobald and Inspectress
Ferris, of the customs service, presently
wai-ted upon him at the hotel. Mr. Noot
was accused of having concealed dutiable
goods 1n his baggage. He admitted it,
and accompanied the officers back to the
pier.
Inside his trunk*, sewed within ah'rt
bosoms, rolled up in feminine hosiery’,
fastened in sleeve* and tucked in various
other convenient places, was the dutiable
Ince. which had cost about five thotisand
francs.
The lac#* wo* seized and bo was Mr.
Noot. He was escorted to the Federal
building and arraigned before United
State* Commissioner Alexander. He
waived examination, and was held In SI,OOO
bail to await the action of the grand
jury.
Mr. Noot was well supplied with fund*.
He pulled an immense roll of bills from
his pocket and gave cash bail immediate

band to the building, had an attack of
hysteria in (he corridor, just before en

was removed to a side room and revived
with ammonia and a fan.
PITTING IN ••TEDDY'S TEETH.”
Controller folfr Entertains His Vis
itors With n PuKcle.
From the New York Times.
"Can you put In ‘Teddy’s’ teeth?”
Controller Coler asked this question of
every’ politician who came to his office
yesterday to talk about the gubernatorial
situation or to ask favors.
President Coogan of the Borough of
Manhattan was one of the first to have
this question hurled at him. He came
airily up to the controller’s desk and said:
Mr. Controller, have you signed that
bill?”
Controller Coler had heard that question
before. He said:
Mr. President, can you put in 'Teddy's'
teeth?”
“What's that! What's that!” said Pres
ident Coogan.
Then Controller Coler took up a small
puzzle from his desk. On the face of the
puzzle was a picture of Gov. Roo*evelt. In
the space usually allotted In cartoons of
Gov. Roosevelt to a dental display there
were little hollow*. Five little ivory balls
revolved around the edge of the desk. By
a rotary motion the little balls could be
made to drop Into the spaces, and Gov.
Roosevelt was then revealed with a full
set of teeth.
Commissioner of Bridges Shea tackled
the “Teddy’s teeth” puzzle for a few
minute* yesterday and said:
“No, I can’t put in ‘Teddy’s’ teeth. They
have been pulled out by Mark Hanna, and
he will have to have a false set made
now.”
Private Secretary Baker is the keeper of
the puzzle. It Is locked up in a safe ev
ery night and is taken out mi the beginning
of business hour*. Secretary Baker say*
the puzzle saves Controller Coler several
pours every day. as |>ol it Irian*, to whom
the puzzle Is handed, usually give It up aft
-1 r making a few attempts and leave the
office.

inaugurate th* ir gala Grand Army week
with special patriotic service® in all th“
city churches, followed a: night in th'
Coliseum by n grand patriotic and sacred
song service. During the afternoon there
wiii be sacred music in the park? by mi!-
ltary bands. Monday morning the Naval
Arch w ill be dedicated and the day given
over to the Naval Veterans' Association
and other organizations. During the aft
ernoon President McKinley will be offi

Arch will be dedicated ond the day given
up to the Grand Army of the Republic
parade and state reunions, etc.
Only Wednesday end Thursday are the
official days of the Grand Army of the
Republic Na.iorral Encampment, which
will meet at 30 . m on Wednesday.
These two days are given up to the legit
imate business of the organization, and
only members can be admitted to the hall
during the official sessions. The Ladies**
Relief Corps and Sons of Veterans* dele
gations come in during a suspension of
regular business.
Friday is to be devoted :o an excursion
on the lake, with fireworks off Lake
Front Park at night, end an illumination
of streets, arches and the court of honor.
Saturday will furnish a.I v.sitors who re

money to make this a notable week, and
unless a.l signs fail she will get her money
back from nearly a million guests.
% liont the PenuM.vl vrtuia Kick.
Now in the matter of Candidate Will
iam J. Bryan, against which the Phiio
lclphia Grand Army of the Republic men
kick, he was invited solely by the citi
zens’ committ e as one of he outside at
tractions to draw n crowd. The Grand
Army invites no one outside of its mem
bership, except that this year, Gen. Gor
don, as uommander-fin-chief of the Con
federate Veterans, was officially invited
by Commander-In-Chief Shaw.
President McKinley is a Union veteran
soldier and a member of the Grand Army
o' the Republic, consequently needed no
invitation except to the outside func
tions gotten up by the city. As com
mander-in-chief of both the army and
nay, he will officially review the naval
and the military parades of Monday and
Tuesday.
In view* of the G. A. R. “kick” in Phil
adelphia about Bryan, and the U. C. V.
“kick’’ in New Orleans about Gordon, it
is likely that the encampment may take
fome official action as to how far enter
taining cities may go in their efforts to
draw- a crowd by outside attractions, as
the general public does not know where
the G. A. R. line Is drawn between the
city’s entertainments and its own official
proceedings. The Gordon matter may
also call forth a lively discussion. There
will hardly be any contest for Commander-
In-Chief. as it seems very probable that
Past Department Commander Leo Ra
sieur of Bt. will be chosen, he being
a strong man and popular.
The Memorial Day Change.
The Jacksonville Metropolis errs in its
editorial on a "Change In Memorial Day.”
commander-in-ehief Shaw, in his At
lanta, Ga., address, did not advocate such
a change as the editor refers to— the
changing of the G. A. R. Memorial Day
from Ma> 30 to the last Sunday in that
month. What he did advocate was a
joint National Memorial Day of the Blue
and ihe Gray, and he favored Sunday as
the better day, his purpose being to make
the occasion a solemn and sacred memor
ial to our heroic dead-on- not to be dis
turbed by horse races, ball matches, etc.
(Since writing the above I have seen the
press telegram from Chicago that Gen.
Shaw- wishes lo change the O. A. R. Metn
ornl Day—May 3b—to the last Sunday in
that month. But this does not materially
change my statements as to his Atlanta
Blue and Graj’ reunion speech. In that
he advocated a National (Sunday) Memo
rial Day, and aald: "Let us embrace, all
our dead in the loving girdle of a National
Memorial Day.” If Gen. Shaw simply
desires to change the date of the present
O. A. R. Memorial Day he will find
strong opposition to his proposed change.)
Maj. Gen. Elwell S. Otis, United Stales
Army (retired), late commanding general
In the Philippines, has been appointed
aide to Commander-in-Chief Shaw’ of the
G. A. R., and wdll share with Gen. Dan
Sickles and Gen. Joe Wheeler the applause
that wdll greet the big street parade. Gen.
Oils is a member of the Lafayette Post of
New York city, the richest and “swellest”
post In the G. A. R. Although the mem
bership in the South is small and the
posts and departments feeble a few promi
nent offices are occasionally given this
section. The late Gen. John R Lewis of
Atlanta, Ga., was once junior vice-com
mander, and Judge C. W. Buckley of
Montgomery, Ala., filled the same office.
The Rev. S. I). Paine of Sanford, Fla.,
and the late Rev. C. D. Warner of Chat
tanooga. Tenn., were once ehaplains-in
chief. Each department in the South has
one member in the council of administra
tion, which is the governing power of the
organization.
A writer In the Troy. Ala.. Dally Mes
s nger refers to the “battle-scan and” vet
erans who wore the gray. No
doubt there were "battle-scared” vet
erans who wore Ihe gray, as there were
who wore the blue, but this writer evi
dently intended to speak of a braver
class, the "bittle-sea red" heroes. W*
also had another, or third class of soldiers,
the "bottle-scared." or hard drinkers,
not a few of which are seen nowadays.
In National Cemeteries.
It will surprise many readers of the
Morning News lo know that nearly 10.600
Confederate soldiers are burled in ihe
various national cemeteries of the nation,
and that their graves are as well cured
for as are those of Ihe Cnion dead. The
most of these Confederate, graves are ip
the cemetery at Woodlawn, N. Y.. at Jef
ferson Barracks, Mo., at Cypress Hills, N.
y„ at Hampton. Va.. at Finn's Point. N.
J., and at Fort Smith, Ark. Of the Union
dead In all the national cemeteries there
are over 325.0U0, and of these over 150,000.
or nearly one-half, sleep In "unknown"
graves. Ai Marietta, Ga., there are 7.205
known and 2.965 unknown, while at Andor
sonvtlle there are 12,782 known and 923 un
known.

The Tito Anderson*.
Readers of the histories of the Civil
ar including official reports, are badly
puzzled to know which Gen. R. H. Ander
son ia often referred to. a"' 'here were two
officers of that name. Richard H. Ander
son of Bouth Carolina and Robert H. An
derson of Georgia, both graduates of West
Point Military Academy. In some cases
it is easy from the context to designate
them, but in many instances it is hard to
tell which Oen. R. H. Anderson is referred
to. In army circles they were, however,
familiarly known as “Dick” and “Boh.”
and both were dashing cavaliers. The At
lanta Constitution of Monday contains a
fine picture of Capt. Robert if. Anderson.
I nited States Army, of 'he famous Nimh
Infantry, who has distinguished himself
out in China, as young Joe Wheeler has
done in the Philippines. These gallant
young warriors, “chips of the old blocks.”
serve to recall th stirring lyric of that
gifted poet. Dr. Frank A. Tlcknor of Co
lumbus. Ga., alout the “Virginians of the
Valley r
“We thought they elept: the sons who
kept
The names of nobles sires.
And slumbered w'hile the darkness crept
Around their vigil fires.”
God bless and protect the brave sons
who bear the names of noble sires wher
ever “Freedom’s Flag” is unfurled for
God, for Country, and for Liberty to the
oppressed everywhere. A Sumner, a
Lee, a Wheeler, an Anderson, a Benton,
n Henry, a Bell, a Butler, a Ha good, an
Elliott, a Hains, a Casey, a Pope, a Stur
gis. a Wezsels, a Worth—all, and others—
now hear their honored fathers’ names in
the ranks of an army to which these gal
lant sires in the past gave their best serv
ices, and some of them in the same regi
ments in which their fathers once served.
This is the case with Capt. R. H. Ander
son. although the newspapers report that
the Ninth Infantry was organized by Jef
ferson Davis while Secretary of War in
1855, is not sufficiently explicit. Congress
authorized this organization in March of
that year, but in March, 1869. Congress? or
dered it reorganized by the consolidation
with it of the Twenty-seventh Regiment
of Infantry. The son is serving as cap
tain in the reorganized Ninth, in which,
before this reorganization, his father,
Gen. Robert H. Anderson. Sr., was a sec
ond lieutenant (1857), resigning in May,
1861, to enter the Confederate service
I am glad to see that a patriotic Ken
tucky woman, Mrs. Susan B. Dixon, of
Louisville, is making a strong protest
against the action of Mr. George W.
Rauch of Lexington, Ky.. in “tinkering”
Col. Theodore O’Hara’s immortal poem.
“The Bivouac of (he Dead.” This is no
new’ protest, in one sense, for I made the
same protest years and years ago. after
.in acquaintance with tiie gifted poet, gal
lant soldier and brilliant journalist, which
ended only with his death in Alabama,
near Guerryton. I do not believe, as Mr.
Rauch asserts that Col. O’Hara ever con
i sented to his revising the poem ns he has
i done. Take, for instance, the line, “Sons
; of the dark and bloody ground,” so ap
propriate 10 the historic past of Ken
| tucky—which this reviser renders, “Sons
lof our consecrated ground.” There are
• other minor changes that mar the force
! and beairty of the original poem, and
vet, marred as it is, or may be, there Is
enough merit in it to carry O’Hara’s
| name down the coi riders of time, w hile
the ages last and the heroic dead are re
membered. and his immortal lines remain
over the entrance to out national ceme
teries—
“On Fame's eternal camping ground,
Their silent tents are spread;
And Glory guards, with solemn round.
The bivouac of the dead.”

ed him. And all because Detective Shee
han, who has begun to grow jealous of
the reputation his comrade in arms had
won, decided to put him to the test, and
found him wanting.
Binning is always quick to jump at a
bargain, so when Sheehan took out frhm
his pocket a ring with a sparkling stone
set in it and hinted that he was willing
to sell it for a reasonable sum he at once
became deeply Interested. Binning. Slice,
hail and I-ockwcod were sealed In the
mus'er-room In the police station. It was
about three o'clock Saturday morning, and
they had Just come in to report "off
dutj’."
“It is a handsome diamond," said Bin
ning. "Where did you get it?”
"Never mind where 1 got it," replied
Sheehan. "If you want to buy I'll sell
cheap. The ring Is worth SIOO If it Is wor'h
a cent, but I’ll let you have It lor $25
Here's an opportunity you will never get
again."
Eir.ning thought that as long as Shee
han was wl ling to sell such a fine dia
mond for $25 he might take less, so he
offered him sls for il.
"I have only $5 with me now." said
Binning, "but I’ll give you the other $lO
at noon."
Binning handed Ihe $5 Io Sheehan, took
ihe ring, put It on his finger, and. with
his ehel swelled with pride, went home.
True to his word, he appeared at the po
lice station promptly at noon and hand
ed over the $lO ailll due.
When Binning appeared In a nearby
Jewelry store ten minutes later nnd raid
to the elerk behind the showcase, "Here,
I want o fine retting for this diamond,”
Ihe man looked at him in neio. l'hrrent,
"Whai! For this diamond!” aild th*
elerk after a glam* ai th* ‘ atone ' Bin
ning handed to him. "You'ta crazy. The
setting now la entirely too rod,for tae

LESS THAN TEN CENTS A DAY
IS WHAT IT COSTS THE RLSKINITES
TO LIVE.
They %re People From Tennessee
nml Have Formed n Colony in
Ware County, Georgia—What They
Hn\e ut the Different Meal*.
W lioleMoiue Food mt the Lowed
• tost Meat Only Twice a Week.
Hot Will Soon Have It Oftener.
The Problem of (heap Living;
Sol i ed.
Way cross, Ga., Aug. 25.—What is the
lowest possible daily cost of food for an
adult man in the United Stales? This
is a question that is receiving a greait
deni of attention from scholars and econo
mists throughout the land. President
Harper of the University of Chicago is
of the opinion that three square meals a
day can be had at a cost of 15 cents. It
may be well to note, however, (hat the
eminent gentleman has noi sufficient
faith in his theory to put it to a practical
lest. Many students are discussing the
subject, and advance some beautiful the
ories. Prof. Harrison of the University
of Pennsylvania reports that the students
of that Institution are well-fed at a cost
of 50 cents a day per head. William A.
Morse of Chicago says he has been living
on $1 per week for the past five years,
which is just 14 and 2-7 cents per day.
Edward Atkinson has theoretically dem
onstrated that with scientific cooking, len
persons can be served a good meal at 5
cents per head, or 35 cents a day.
While these people have been theorizing
the Ruskinkes have demonstrated by
actual experience (he lowest possible daily
cost for food for (heir entire community.
This cost is so low’ as to bo almost be
yond belief. Before proceeding further
I will state that the Rusk!nites are so
cialists, living six miles southwest of
Waycross. The colony settled at Duke,
in Ware county, just one year ago, nnd
numbers upwards of IDO souls. They be
lieve firmly in (he doctrine that society
should be reorganized by regulating prop
erty. industry and the sources of liveli
hood. They also believe in a community
of property, and the negation of individ
ual rights in that property.
The colonists have given much time
and study to economic questions, and
have solved the riddle how to live at low
est co?(. When forced to leave their
Tennessee borne the colonists were hard
pushed. But they pos-essed stout hearts
and willing hards, and to-day are on a
fair road to prosperity. They live, and
live well/ at an actual cost per capita of
less than 10 cents a day.
Everything they consume is bought at
wholesale, in large quantities, and is
cooked in the community kitchen. In the
community dining room tables are set
for 300 people. Those who do not wish
io eat with the crowd are given the priv
ilege of purchasing company stores and
cooking it at home. When vegetables are
scarce these people are allowed seven
' cents per capita per day. that is, seven
cents for each person, big, little, o!d,
young, sick or well. When vegetables are
plentiful the cash allowance is only five
cents. As the community raises its own
vegetables, the. approximate cost is only
about two cents per capita per flay, mak
ing the actual cost of living at Ruskln
from seven to nine cen's per day for each
man, woman and child.
Let us go into the community dining
room nnd see how they live. We go at
the invitation Of Prof. Denny, an eminent
socialist speaker and scholar In a large
room, twenty feet wide and 150 feet long,
we see nearly 30) men. women and chil
dren seated at long tables. Breakfast is
our first meal. It is well prepared, sav
ory end daintily served. We make a
i wholesome meal on light bread, furnished
I by the colony baker, butler. Georgia sy
rup. oatmeal. Irish potatoes, milk,
| cereal coffee, sugar. This meal is va
ried. Sometimes we have fried mush,
with frulrs and jellies.
Our dinner generally varies, according
to the season. Meat only comes to the
i table twice a week. The bill cf fa>3 us
ually consists of rice, or peas, beans or
rracearoni, s me two or more of these,
Georgia syrup, beets, tomatoes, egg
plants, potatoes, soup, bread, cereal cof
fee-cereal coffee is manufactured by the
i cclcn'sts and is cne of their main indus
i tries.
For supper, cheese in seme form, lem
onade, (rake, rice or b ans, sugar, grits.
I mush, fried potatoes, cell tea. bread. Th’*
p r-on vDitirg Ruskln and taking his
i minis in the community dirirg room, wdl
1 have the above b 11 ofc fare placed before
h m, with slight variations. He will find
Uat It is n t only possible, but pracGca
-1 le, for people to live at a co?t of fiom
7 to 9 cents a day per capita. It is not
merely existing, hut th mca's are who’e
! s me. satisfying nnd well prepared. Of
: *Tur- there ore no lirle d?d e<-
1 oept for the sick. There is- no wine, sim
pty a meal 'hat w'U “sMck to the ribs,”
and prsseesing sufficient nutrit’en t3 en
able the people to do the hardest kind
of wo k. As will be nct’ced, >h' colonists
only get meat twice a week. They will
do better cn thi- line after a while when
they get a start a: s’cek *ai.*ng. aid
lh<n the p f r capita will probably be re
duced to even less than 7 cents per day.
BOILING HIT AT HOME.
Almost tbe Same Effects May lie Pro
duced ns nt the Springs.
From the Nrw’ York Press.
Most high livers and low th'nkers have
to go to some hot springs once a year
to be boilfd out. But yesterday I passed
unreergn'zed on old friend. He called me
iwiek, saying, "I don't blame you for not
knowing me; I )ave just returned from
the hot springs, where I lost twenty-sev
en pounds.” He loolel as s’.rcng as a
bull moose, but thinner than he had
betn in years. It cost him S3O a week for
beard and $1 a day ter baths. The course
of treatment under a doctor's advice last
ed three works. He steamed out pints
and quarts of nicotine and liquor, and is
n w anew mac, with anew circulation,
new bool corpu*cles, new lungs, new
brain. He Is able to sleep nights and
think days. Tie vivacity of his eye indi
cat- s the purity tf his life—for three
necks at least.
Noiv, a man may boll out in his own
house or flat. If he have the self-con
trol and wilt power. The real good of a
visit to distant springs lies in the change
of seene, of air, of people, of food and
the gradual or sudden cessation of nip
ping. The mere boiling ami steaming may
he done quite os well in one's private tub
as In the giant pools of natural water in

FITZ WAS OFFERED A 100,000.
Rat He Refnseel a Fortnne to Throw
I|> the Fight.
From the New York World.
Robert Fitzsimmons may be for sale
but SIOO,OOO won't buy him. A Canadian of
high financial standing offered him this
amount yesterday to lose his coming
fight With Sharkey, and the lanky fellow
treated the suggestion with contempt.
The proposition looked peculiar, but Bob
said he knew it to he genuine. It came
In a letter from Montreal, which was
signed ’’R. S." The writer assured the
ex-champlon he was worth SIBO,OOO in cold
cash and gave bank references. He ex
plained how much the sum named would
mean to Fitz and endeavored to show’ how
no chances were to be taken by accpeting
It. The Canadian said he was eager to
arrange matters in order that he might
begin making bets at 10 to 8 odds.
"Your admirers are offering 2 to 1 now. '
he said, "and by gradually shortening to
100 to 80, I can place a barrel of money.
It will enable me to reap a harvest, and
in due time you can meet and whip Jef
fries and the public will never be the
wiser.”
The writer than went into minute de
tails, asking the Australian to decide
quickly, and to make an engagement to
meet him to-day in New’ York. He said
not a man in the big city knew’ him. and
that everything could be carried through
as neatly as the most fastidious cou >1
wish.
Fitz was told that he was getting along
in life and could no longer afford to over
look chance to provide against the future
and Insure the comfort of his family. The
communication covered four pages and
was closely written.
“I have always been your friend,” the
writer concluded, "and I hope to meet you
without fail on Wednesday."
"That is a good bit of talk.” said the
ex-champion to a reporter for the World,
"but It doesn’t count. I am not for sale,
and that is all there is to it. Secret en
gagements and shady undestandings don't
go with me. X have been fighting on the
fair and square too long to go crooked
now. The writer of that letter is in ear
nest, I have no doubt, because I believe t
know who he is.”
“What Is jour price?” asked the re
porter.
"Price!” exclaimed Fitzsimmons; "Do
you mean to insinuate that I have a fig
ure?”
“Not at all. I am in search of informa
tion,” was the reply.
"Well, lam money proof. To show X
speak the truth, just before my fight with
Corbett at Carson City I was oflered $730,-
000 to lay down, and I preferred tha
sweets of victory to defeat and ill-got ten
gains. Two gankers tried (o buy tr.a
there, and they had the money ready to
pay over so soon as X consented. I re
fused to talk with them at ail, just as I
refuse to meet the man who offers ma
SIOO,OOO to bunco the public this lime."
Fitz declined io make the letter from tha
Montreal person public in whole, be 'ause
he didn't care to compromise even to
friend on evil bent. No chances were to
he taken, as the SIOO,OOO was to be : i.d
over to-day.
The Australian could have pocketed 'lie
money, fought to win, and the public
would not have been anj- the wiser.
Fighting men declared this trick was
turned recentlj’ b>' one of the most no:' 1
and skillful pugllsits in the countn He
accepted $12,000 as the price of losing. fro;rt
a sporting man famous for his honor: V
and then refused to carry out his p*rt < -
the contract.
