Names were only a means of tem
porary identification at Dead Level
luii. and when a man so far forgot
h ‘ e place as to ornament himself with
Ovo and perhaps even three, merely
because they happened to have been
given or bequeathed, he was sternly
thrust back to the reproach of “Soap”
01 "Ba'r's Grease” or "Comb an'
Brush,” or something else equally ap
propriate and distasteful. As among
the Indians, there was a custom of us
ing anything convenient until a man
had earned a right to something dis
tinctive and honorable. That was how
tenderfoot “Cub” of six months before,
waft veteran Pistol Bill of to-day, and
„hy pink-faced, swearing Bobby had
become Blue Blazes.
Dead Level Bar was attractive to
strangers. Paydirt had been struck by
the first comers, and pay-dirt had been
the rule ever since. Two ounces a day
w.is a fair average for a river-bottom
n'an. but three ounces was better. And
naturally it was the river-bottom min
ing that set labor rates for the ponder
ous crushers on the hillside.
It was high—preposterous—of course;
but the mine owners did not complain,
f o r every jar of their machinery turn
ed three figures into their pockets. A
day meant a competence, a week a for
tune. and a month was something that
made even the wildest visionary gasp
for breath.
So the unskilled days, and the Chin
aman. and the shirk from Alabama,
and the red-headed man from Cork,
alike received their two ounces a day;
while a moderately skilled laborer was
in demand at twice and even thrice
that sum. Occasionally a man came
who was thoroughly conversant with
mining machinery, or with analyzing
or prospecting, and he was a Croesus
who could command his own rules and
his own time and his own reward. And
yet the mines on the hillside were al
ways short of help. New comers pre
ferred the possibility of three ounces
a day to the certainty of two, and the
skillful were generally visionary enough
to dream of the vast wealth which
every turn of their spade might dis
close.
Among the arrivals one day was a
blue-eyed, flaxen-haired German, who
towered head and shoulders above his
companions, and whose first act on
alighting was to snatch a pail front the
driver’s seat and go in search of wa
ter for the horses.
• Bey was t'irsty,” he remarked, sen
tentiously, as he went ffom one to an
other. watching them carefully and giv
ing water only as he thought judicious,
and not as the panting animals craved.
"Id de German army we our horses
vass look after.”
Then he stood back and gazed about
curiously, his shoulders square and his
right arm bent slightly at the elbow,
as though the hand were resting upon
the hilt of a sword. One of the mine
owners paused on the opposite sidewalk
and regarded him attentively. He, too,
had a habit of carrying his arm in that
position; and, besides, there were other
things about the upright, soldierly fig
ure which carried him back to certain
years of his own in the German army.
An hour later the stranger was in
stalled as the chief engineer of the
Gold Bug, with a salary of SSO a day,
and with the understanding that he
was to have the oversight of other
mines, with a corresponding increase
of c ompensation. The blue eyes of the
LEONARD WANTS UIVORCE.
Contractor Hum Filed Suit Affninsl
Ills Wife in Jacksonville.
Stephen S. Leonard, the Florida con
tractor who recently figured in a sen
sational street scene with his wife,
Marguerite E. Leonard, and who later
was defendant in the Superior Court
in action taken for the recovery of his
5-inonths-old babe, whom he had had
taken from the arms of its mother, and
who at the same time answered an ap
plication for temporary alimony by
making sensational charges against his
wife, has filed suit for divorce in the
Circuit Court in Jacksonville.
Notice of the action has been served
upon Mrs. Leonard, through the ofiice
of Sheriff Schwarz, and the case will
be called In the Florida court some
time in September. Mrs. Leonard now
has the custody of the child, and is re
ceiving S2O a week temporary alimony
from her husband. She says that she
will fight her husband’s action in Flor
ida solely on the ground that he asks
for the custody of the child, and not be
cause she does not want him to have
a divorce, or because she wants his
money.
Mhile Leonard does not make any
charges against the chastity of his wife
in his petition, he alleges that she has
a violent temper, and that she admit
te<l to him, ufter one of their rows,
tb-it she had married him for mercen
a>y motives. This Mrs. Leonard denies,
although she admits anew charge that
>s made by Leonard In his Florida pe
tition. He alleges that upon one occa-
Mon not only struck him, but
Mahhed him on the arm with a pair of
scissors.
■Mrs. Leonard admits that this Is

German had grown big with wonder at
the munificence of the salary; but the
mine owner's had only narrowed and
brightened. He knew that another
man with the scientific giant’s acquire
ments would have asked a hundred,
and been given it without a question.
In the books he was entered as Hans,
because of the clerk's inability to un
derstand the long, unpronounceable
name he gave; but down in the camp
he was simply Cause, while the burly
teamster lie one day tossed twenty feet
into the river for beating a horse, be
came Effect.
Mails were of uncertain arrival at
Dead Level Bar. Sometimes they
came twice a month, sometimes only
once in two months and sometimes
the appearance of road agents pre
vented them from coming at ail. Hans
had been there six weeks before a mail
came in, and then it was another week
before the cleuk connected the letter
whose address he could not decipher
with the engineer whose name he could
not pronounce.
When the letter was brought to him,
Hans was sitting on a bowlder outside
the mine, his blue eyes fixed upon a
distant point of the horizon with an
expression of wistfulness and regret.
Five minutes later he was in the su
perintendent's office.
“X gif my notice,” he cried, his face
glowing and his blue eyes radiant.
"I take de stage in 20 minutes.”
"Take—what in 20 minutes? Oh, you
want more salary.” The superintend
ent threw his feet into another chair
and looked at him expectantly. “Well,
how much? Will 50 per cent', increase
do?”
“I tell you I take de stage,” Hans
reiterated. "I gif my notice.”
„ His earnestness was too evident to
be mistaken, and the superintendent
rose hastily to his feet.
"Come, come, Hans," he expostulat
ed, “think better of it. We ll pay you
more than anybody else.”
“It is not de pay,” eagerly; “you no
understand. You been good to me, and
I stay mit you longer as any
body. But now 1 vass go home to
Katrina. You see," as a slight smile
appeared on the youthful face of the
superintendent; “it is like dis. Dere
vass t'ings tell about me, and Katrina
hear dem, .and she say to me; “Go!'
Den I hear anodder man vass seek
her, and I come to America to forget.
But no. dere vass no place to forget.
When I come to de mountains I see
Katrina everywhere, and X hear her
voice mit de trees and when I dream.
Now dis,” holding the letter up and
regarding it wistfully, “tells me dat
Katrina is waiting, and it say de lies
mit me are all discover and dat de
odder man is punish.”
“I am glad to hear it, Plans,” said
the superintendent, heartily > "but still
I think you ought to remain with us.
Why, just think of it, man! six months
of this work, and you can go back and
build a castle for Katrina."
But Hans raised himself to his full
hight and looked down compassionate
ly.
"You Is young man," he said, “and
do not understand dese t'ings. Gold is
everywhere, all over de world: but dere
is only one Katrina. I gif my notice
r.ow and go to de stage. And I say
goot-by.”
The superintendent w’atched him
down the hillside, and then turned to
his desk with a sigh.
"I am a young man,” he thought,
bitterly; “but I no understand. I have
already lost my Katrina."

ATTRACTIONS AT TYBEE.
Prof. Delknuo anil Wife Showing at
lintel Tybee.
The first performance of Prof. Del
kano and wife on the pavilion of Ho
tel Tybee yesterday afternoon and last
night was largely attended. The most
wonderful part of his performance is
when he permits himself to be hand
cuffed, feet bound, tied tight in a large
bag and placed in a large trunk which
is afterward locked and bound with
rope. Gentlemen from the audience are
called upon to do this kindly service
for the professor. The trunk in which
Delkano is locked Is rolled into a cab
inet large enough for two people to get
into. His wife draw's the curtain and
attempts to speak when the professor
brushes her aside and mqkes his bow
to the audience. The trunk is then
rolled out of the cabinet and is appar
ently in the same condition as when
the professor was placed into it. It is
opened and the woman is taken out
handcuffed and tied up in the bag. It
is a good trick and attracts the island
ers afternoons and evenings. The show
will be afternoons at 4 and evenings
at S during this week, at Hotel Tybee.
ntBIED UNDER A BOWL.
Curious Custom of the Aborigine* of
the Florida Coast.
From the Philadelphia Record.
There is now on exhibition at the
Academy of Natural Sciences a hand
some collection of earthenware, the re
sult of researches made especially for
the Academy along the northwestern
coast of Florida, last winter, by Clar
ence B. Moore.
The collection consists of bowls, jars,
vases, bottles and vessels of ecentric
shape, including various life-forms,
birds, fishes, the human figure, etc.
Much is in good condition, though
some have been crushed by W'eight of
sand and by roots. It is interesting
to note in this earthware how the ab
origines prevented cracks from extend
ing. Holes were drilled on either side
of the crack and the two parts were
lashed together with cords or sinew's,
a custom "half hs old as time,” to
speak poetically, for numbers of ves
sels 5,000 years old, mended in this
way, have been found in Egypt.
The Florida ware is red, yellow,
whitish and some black, and highly
polished and is of fine cfuality, fully
sustaining the reputation borne by the
aboriginal earthenware of the Gulf.
The Savage Art.
The ornamentation, which is often
neatly done, sometimes with a sharp
point and sometimes by drawing along
a blunt point, trailing, as it is called,
consists of various forms of the scroll,
the meander and much complicated
decoration embracing diamonds, cir
cles, angles and the like.
Another style of decoration is incised
figures, in several cases representa
tions of the serpent, which was wor
shipped by Southern Indians, and
which appears on their pottery and on
their gorgets of shell, occasionally
with plumes and with wings. Another
decoration appearing on this Gulf
ware is the open hand, an aboriginal
symbol of widest distribution. It is
said by some to be an emblem of pos
session, but one cannot but think that
the clenched hand would indicate this
more forcibly.
Still another variety of ornamenta
tion is to be seen on a small, wide
mouthed bottle of black ware. It rep
resents a human head wearing a gro
tesque mask with a long down-curved
nose and prominent teeth. Such mask
ed faces appear on the carvings of
Mexico, and have been found In this
country and of Mexico In pre-Colum
bian times.
In this connection it Is interesting to
note that the aboriginal pottery of the
United States is much better and more
aitistic in the Southern States than
in the northern part of our country.
Life-forms, gourd-shaped vessels and
vessels with double compartments
which are often representations of the
open bivalve, more or less conven
tionalized, and other distinctive shapes
are found In numbers in the middle
Mississippi Valley, that is in Arkan
sas, Tennessee, Missouri and Southern
Illinois. The influence of this section
extends into parts of other states,
Alabama and Northwestern Florida,
as we have seen.
Tlic Peruvian Influence.
There are those who think, owing to
the strong resemblance between the
earthenware.which,it must be admitted,
is striking, that the influence of Peru
can be traced through Central Ameri
ca to our southwestern states, and
from there to the states - of the middle
Mississippi and downward to the Gulf.
While the earthenware of all these
regions seems closely related, forms of
burial differ widely. Throughout our
Southern states it was the custom
among the aborigines to expose the
body until decay made the flesh easy
to remove and then, at periods, to bury
the bones. Juan Ortiz, a Spaniard,
captured by Florida Indians, was given
a bow and arrow land put on the job
of keeping wild animals from bodies
thus exposed before Interment. Ortiz
was rescued by De Soto, and it Is un
derstood that he relinquished his em
ployment without regret.
Whatever was done to the bones af
terward, this exposure was always, or
nearly always, a preliminary step, and
it is feared that the flesh is always
removed before burial.

aboriginal burial is w'here bones are
enclosed in u)'H2- In the mounds and
cemeteries of the Georgia coast and in
the sea islands, single skeletons are
found carefully packed away in grace
ful urns covered with bowls turned
upside down to exclude the sand. Of
ten in the same mounds are urns filled
to the top with fragments of calcined
bones, the remnants of cremation.
These also are covered with down
turned | bowls. Sometimes along the
coast and up the Georgia rivers little
pockets of burnt bones are found lying
on the sand covered by Inverted bowls.
In cemeteries along the Alabama river
are great vessels in which several skel
etons are packed away as in a trunk
and protected on top by vessels, face
down.
It is of particular interest to note
that the northwest Florida coast, of
which we are writing, offers a vari
ation in urn burials. There we find
lone skulls, or skulls with a few bones,
placed on the ground, and covered by
large inverted bowls, each of which, in
nearly every case, has a small per
foration in the base, which it is be
lieved “kills” the vessel that its soul
may accompany the soul of the de
ceased. All these forms of burial in
place in their coffins of earthenware,
may be seen at the Academy of Nat
ural Sciences.
EVE’S APPLE TREE.
The Forbidden Frnlt Sill! Found In
the Island of Ceylon.
From the Buffalo Commercial.
A fruit supposed to bear the marks
of Eve’s teeth is one of the many bo
tanical curiosities of Ceylon. The tree
on which it grows is known by the sig
nificant name of “the forbidden fruit,"
or "Eve's apple tree." The blossom
has a very pleasant scent, but the
really .remarkable feature of the tree,
the one to which it owes its name, is
the fruit. It is beautiful and hangs
from the tree in a peculiar manner.
Orange on the outside and deep crim
son within, each friut has the appear
ance of having had a piece bitten out
of it. This fact, together with its pois
onous quality, led the Mohammedans
to represent it as the forbidden fruit
of the Garden of Eden and to warn
men against its noxious properties. The
mark upon the fruit is attributed to
Eve. Why the bite of Adam did not
also leave its mark is not known, as
only one piece seems to be missing,
its loss is ascribed to the woman.
Savannah Preparatory School and

Highlands, N. C., July 29.—Editor
Moning News; In your issue of July
21 appeared a communication contain
ing an enclosure from Chancellor Hill
with reference to the admission of stu
dents to the State University. From
that communication it w r ould appear
that only one school in this city had
the privilege of admitting its students
without examination. As such is not
the fact, I beg you to publish the in
dorsed letter from Chancellor Hill
courteously acknowledging his mistake
and stating that the Savannah Pre
paratory School is on the list of
certifying schools and that my grad
uates are admitted without examina
tion. By inserting Mr. Hill’s letter you
will greatly oblige, yours truly, Or
mond B. Strong, headmaster of the Sa
vannah Preparatory School.
July 26. 1901.—Prof. O. B. Strong.
Highlands. N. C.: Dear Sir—Your let
ter of the 24th is just to hand. I re
gret extremely the error which has been
made here, and which has caused you
so much annoyance. The answer made
by this office to Prof. Morton was in
accordance with the records of the
Committee on Entrance, w'hieh keeps
all such records, and on which your
name did not appear. As soon as the
attention of Prof. Barrow was called
to the matter, he remembered the facts
to be as you state them. The error is
to be explained by the fact that Prof.
Bocock, w'ho is the secretary of the
committee, was called to Virginia at
the time of the meeting by the serious
illness of his mother, and the records
are incomplete. As Prof. Barrow is the
chairman of the committee, his state
ment is official.
I take great pleasure in stating that
your school is on the list of certifying
schools, and that applicants holding
your certificates will be admitted to
the freshman class without examina
tion. This action was taken in the
latter part of May of this year, and the
fact that it was not officially recorded
was due only to error, which misled
this office.
As I say, I regret the error extremely,
and trust that you will understand that
my letter to Prof. Morton was written
in accordance with the official records,
the error in which was, of course, un
known to me. Yours very truly,
Walter B. Hill,
