In this case it was a man. Harold Hewitt, wiho emulated Miss Davison's feat. 1 A J." ~ TlrtUrtrt XIoTV ua.i;i;ui uiug w_? tur aav.ui ??vn<^c, iitnitt was not connected with the suffragettes, but was of unsound mind and of a type peculiarly liable to be carried away by the imitative impulse. He suffered the same penalty for his temerity as did Miss Davison?a fracture at the base of the skull. At a late hour tonight Hewitt was lying unconscious in a hospital after ' undergoing an operation in the forlorn hope that his life might be saved. Royalty at the Race. King George and Queen Mary, ExKing Manuel, of Portugal; the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Sweden, the Duke of Connaught, Governor General of Canada, and Princess Patricia and a number of lesser royalties were watching the race from the royal stand. Coming down the straight, August Belment's famous colt, Tracery, a son of Rock Sand, shot into the lead, S'^emingly assured of an easy victory. Suddenly a man jumped from the rails waving a red flag with one hand and with the other pointing a revolver at Jockey Whally, who had the mount on Trarerv. "Pull up! Pull up or I'll shoot you!" the man shouted. Whally did his best to divert the horses's course, bur failed. Tracery, striking the man full in the chest with his shoulder, sent him flying several yards. Whally shot clear out of the saddle but rolled to safety under the rails. Meantime the other horses came thundering on, one of them giving the ? ? ~ ^ 1 1 /-k A *1 ATT . <tU<.XiUX Ui cUI LUC uuuuic, w iaw IO.J spra .vling, a terrible kick on the head in passing. Save for some bruises, Wbally was 1 uninjured, and when the King sent for him he walked stiffly to tihe royal box ' to receive congratulations on his es- 1 cape. Hewitt is a cultured man, and is possessed of independent means. He had, however, shown evidences of religious mania. He had a diary, in which the last entry was made a few hours bei _ J A.

These races bring out all that is worst in humanity." In another entry he refers to his intention "to give my body as a protest against society convention." The Ascot cup was won by the fiveyear-old Prince Palatine, owned by T. Pitkington. The race was at two and a lhalf miles, with 3,500 sovereigns added. The assailant of Tracery was an effeminate-looking youth of about 20! years old. Officials of the militant suffrage:t organization say they have no knowledge of the man. Cards found in the injured man's clothing bear the name and address, "Hewitt, Trinity college, Cambridge." GE>. TEAGUE WJRITES OF GETTYSBURG FUND fommander of Confederate Yeterons Sends Circular Letters Explaining* Disbursement. Aiken, June 20.?Gen. B. H Teague, commander S. C. division, U. C. V., and disburser of the $1,000 fund ap- j propriated by the legislature to send veterans to Gettysburg, has issued i a circular letter in explanation of j hie disbursement of the fund. Gen.! Te ague's letter is as follows: "Comrade: The act of the legisla ture appropriating the $1,000 reads: j 'Expenses to Gettysburg, reunion of j Confederate soldiers who praticipated : in battle fought at hiat placj. Money to be expended under the direction of B. H. Teague, major general commanding S. C. division, United Confederate veterans.' I voluntarily brought the subject up before the convention of veterans at the Aiken reunion, that I might be guided by the opinions of comrades as to the dis- j bursement of this fund. It was sug- j gested by a comrade that $15 be given i to each applicant, then by another $10 was suggested, then another man, thought that it should be proprated by the amount required for each applicant's railroad fare. Finally, as lio definite amount was agreed upon, r?? ?ji.i ?to insure comple ( along a case of M The satisfying or forest; at 1 ffflHnPW pure and \ P DeliciousThirst-C fVL Demand the Ge Refuse substi Send for Prcc I 2"A THE COCA-COLA CdfolF by resolution, the whole matter was left in the hands of the commander. This resolution is recorded in the minutes of the convention 'to do as he Hmne-ht. hast with it' now in posses sion of tl(e adjutant general. "For two weeks after the reunion the applicants came in slowly. In this time I issued a circular letter to my . comrades, saying they must send in their names by June 15. This was done simply to hurry them up; nothing was said, or intended, that any mo wnnlri hA debarred after that time. "After much thought, I concluded that it would be best to adopt the last suggestion offered at the reunion, especially since it looked"as if there would not be many applicants. I did not know any more than the legislature, !ho~w many there would be and there was no means for finding it out, so I began to send out checks, in rotation, the amount of each applicant's railroad fare, as each application came in and continued this, until the $1,000 was paid out. "The number checked was 46. Since then, the number of applicants has run up to 200 or more in all. Now, ' "* - XT 1 X J naa l wauea. until iue iat>t ua.y possible, and divided the money equally among the over 200 w<ho applied, there would not have been $5 apiece? not enough to take one hardly 1QO i miles and back.

You see I could not satisfy all. The trouble has not been., with your commander?ft has with the legislature?it did not instruct me definitely and did not appropriate enough money to go around. I iave done my best for you, comrades, giving my time, lalror and expenses in this unsolicited and bothersome task. "My heart goes out to the disap pointed ones. I wish I had it within my gift to pay the way to Gettysburg of every comrade in the State?you would all be there. I have called on the people of the State to help you and have listed your names and if any money comes into my hands, I will send check to you as I have done to the others?first on the list, first served.

The postoffice department in Washington has issued a series of tags, each consisting of three coupons. The first coupon is retained by the office from which the package is being sent, the second is given to the sender as his receipt and the third is to be attached to the package. On this tag 'is placfed such information as the name and address of the sender, together with that of the party to whom the package is sent, the value of the package ahd the amount to be collected. These parcels, however, can be addressed only to offices which issue money orders. If a parcel is to be sent to a person living in the country, a fee of 10 cents extra is charged. This insures the package to ' the amount of $50 and the collection of the amount due. When the package is called for, the receiver fills out a blank similar to that of a money order, and turns over to the official the amount due on the package. A money I order fee is deducted, and the remain-! der is forwarded to the firm which sent out the package. Postmaster Huggins of the Columbia office said yesterday: "I regard the system as being just in its infancy. Like every other innovation, the people have to become acquainted with its workings. However, the volume of business is growing every mnnth." A DISTINGUISHED FAMILY. Remarkable Record in Evidence With Townspeople Justly Frond of the Accomplishments. Leesville, June 20.?Prof. D. R.

A one-armed man sat down at his luncheon one day next to a systematic individual from the country. The countrvman noticed his neighbor's 1-eft sleeve hanging loosely, and kept eyeing 'him in a sort of how did-it happen-way. The one-armed man failed to break the ice, but continued to keep busy with his hand supplying the inner man. The inquisitive one could stand it no long-er. He changed his position a little, cleared his throat, and said: "I see, sir, you have lost an arm."
