SHAFT FOo CHERRY VICTIMS
MOST PATIENT OF THIEVES
Monument Unveiled to the Memory of
Those Who Died In Mine
Disaster.
Bloomington, 111.—Recently at Cher
ry a monument was unveiled to the
memory of the 256 men and boys
■who lost their lives in the great min
ing disaster over two years ago. The
■officers of the state miners’ organiza
tions ■ had charge of the ceremonies
and prominent labor leaders were
present. The memorial—a simple
shaft of gray granite 14 feet high—
was unveiled by the daughter of a
In San Francisco a Man Was Discov
ered Stealing the Parts of
Roller Skates.
Out at the Coliseum skating rink
there has been discovered evidence
of one of the most patient and hope
ful thieves in America. A day or
two ago he undertook to steal a pair
of skates piecemeal, but the evi
dence of his work was discovered and
he remains in possession of three
wheels, a bolt or two and a couple
of pieces of metal that can be of no
earthly use without the remaining
sections of the skates, which remain
in possession of the management. To
compensate for the loss the Coliseum
stands in possession of one felt hat,
with the name of the dealer cut out
of the band and a gap where the
owner’s initials were carried.
To evade the regulations of the
rink the optimistic crook was obliged
to carry an extra hat or cap and a
set of tools which enabled him to
take the Bkates apart. The unpur
loined portions were discovered by a
special policeman in an unfrequented
corner of the pavilion.—San Francis

He Has Made a Distinct Suc
cess as the Head of the
G. N. and I. College.
Representatives of Cities Along
— Line Agree on Change to
Submit to Offioers.
The Board of Directors of the Georgia
Normal & Industrial College, at their
meeting in Atlanta last Thursday took
occasion to pay a high compliment and
tribute to President M. .M. Parks and
the great constructive work he has done
during the seven years he lias been at
the head of that institution.
These words come from the men who
have a thorough knowledge of the en
ergy, time and ability President Parks
lias brought to bear in his work, and
tli© success that lias attendod his efforts.
The following is the public statement
issued by the Board:
The Board of Directors wish to com
mend the work being done by Prof. M
M. Parks of the Georgia Normal and
Industrial College and desire co make a
public statement of their endorsement
and appreciation of the notable service
he is rendering to Georgia by his efficient
management of the affairs of this insti
tution. Daring liis administration of
seven years the institution has shown a
remarkable growth. The attendance
has increased from year to year and for
the past few years it has been necessary
to deny as many applications as were
accepted becanse of the lack of accom
modations.
The organization of the faculty and
student body, the entire business of the
college is well nigh perfect. The course
of study lias been so reorganized ns to
be adapted to the needs of the student
aud is very practical, modern and close
to life.
The new buildings tliat nave been
erected under President Parks’ admin
istration aro attractive for their archi
tectural beauty aud arrangement and
are well suited for their purpose.
The dormitories in all departments
have been much improved by his care
ful management.
The school as a whole is a model in
all of its operations. To make this
such a school President Parks has given
Bimself unreservedly to the work, and
while the legislature has been liberal
in appropriations, and the people of
Georgia have been liberal in their pat
ronage, we think the conditions whiejh
exist at the school today have been
made possible largely by the attention
of President Parks to the interests of
the college entrusted to his care.
He has made a distinct success and we
feel it our duty as well as our pleasure
to say that in him onr state lias a most
valuable man. He is young, competent,
careful and constructive, and is en
tirely worthy of the commendation aud
the confidence of the people of this
state.

man who had lost his life in the

Cherry today is greatly changed
from what it was two years ago.
Bobbed of one-half of Its male inhab

The sum of $316,424 was contributed
f°r the relief of the widows and
fatherless children. The Illinois leg
islature appropriated $100,000. Up to
•Bum 1, 1011, the commission In
charge had distributed $81,498, leav
ing most of the remainder in trust
as a pension fund for the relief of
these robbed of their bread winners.
Belief was afforded every widow and
a very dependent child, and they will
he taken care of for life If necessary.
Placed on a cash basis, no greater
charitable work has ever been ac
complished, nor has any relief move
ment been handled as economically
or as successfully.

In tho Disguise of a Workman Future
Emperor Pasted Guard at For-
tress of Ham.
In discussing the origin of Lou La Nar
poleon's nickname of “Badlnguet"
some details were given Incidentally
of his escape from the fortreas of Ham
in northern France on May 25, 1846.
Fuller details are now available,
thanks to the researches of SI. Thir-
ria, and 1 In view of the escape of Capt.
Lux they have a special interest at
the present moment.
It seems that the solo credit for the
escape must lie with Louis Napoleon
himself. He made his valet, Thelln,
buy a black wig, some rouge, a cap
which was scrubbed with pumice stone
and a pair of sabots. Then he cut off
his mustache, put on a blue apron, a
blue pair of trousers and a close fit
ting shirt of coarso stuff.
Some workmen were carrying out
some repairs to that part of tho for
tress where tho prince lodged and this
gave color to his disguise, so much so
that the two watchmen entertained no
suspicious regarding the man who
walked past them and out at the great
gate, a pipe In his mouth and a plank
on his shoulder. The sergeant on duty
at the drawbridge was reading a let
ter as he passed and took no notice
of him. It was then 5 o'clock in the
morning.
Four times that day, the last time
at 5 In the afternoon, did the Govern
or, Demarle, send for tho prince. Each
time Dr. Conneau replied that the pris
oner could not see anybody becausq
he bed taken medicine. When at last
the governor lost patience’ and went
himself to the prince’s room and
walked up to the bed on which the
supposed invalid was lying he discov
ered that n very presentable dummy
had taken the place of Louis Napoleon.
The discovery wa3 made too late. By
that time the fugitive was over the
Belgian frontier.
Prof. M M. Parks aud Dr. E. A.
Tiguer represented Milledgeville at a
conference between repreBeusatives of
Various towns between Macon and
Covington held at the auditorium of
the Macon Chamber of Commerce Mon

The purpose of the conference was to
discuss a change in tlie schedule on the
Central railroad between Macon aud
Covington.
Large delegations wore present from
tho various towns, and the meeting was
full of interest to all ot the delegates.

lively discussion, aud tho Macon rep
resentatives were compelled to make
concession to the desire of the visiting
delegates. Milledgeville representatives
stood out for the train which passes
this city about one o’clock now going

don with train from Savannah and At*

Stranger to Avarice.
Artists are often very shrewd men
of business; it Is not every painter
who is swindled by the picture deal
ers. But a charming story in Mr.
Frederic Harrison's recent book shows
that Millet cared little what was paid
him for his pictures, because he did
not work for money, but for the Joy
of creating beauty.
Millet had a standing agreement
with a firm of,art dealers, who took
all his work in exchange for regular
payments of $200 a month. Somebody
pointed out to Millet that they could
sell a single picture of his for'aa much
as $10,000.
“That is their affair,” he said, sim
ply. “As long as I have all I need, and
can paint what I like, and as I like it,
I do not mind what they get for my
pictures.”—Youth's Companion.

Wealth In Japan.
According to a list compiled In To-
kio, thore aro in the whole empire
only 1,018 Japanese who are worth a
quarter of a million dollars or more.
Tho population of Japan is about 61,-
000,000, the most of them poor, the
wealth being distributed among a few
people. But the list shows that the
Japanese are getting rich rapidly, as
there were only 441 rich Japanese ten
years ago. At the rate they are now
going It is more than likely that in a
few years Japan will have rich men
to sparo.
