Sft J., THIRTY CHILDREN i HORN IN SIXTEEN YEAIW TO TIIE SAME MOTHER. ' i The Most Remarkable Case on Record. Seventeen of the Thirty i Children Are Living. Four boys were born to Mrs. A brain Gotofsky, of Terry Hill, N. J., on Wednesday. All of tbem arc In good health. The combined weight I 1 of the quadroupiets is 16 pounds | and four ounces. Mrs. Gotofsky, who is 32 years of age is the mother of 30 cnidlern, 17 of whom are living- She was born near Warsaw, Poland, and came to this country in 1891. She was married in New York ill April, 1892, and immediately left for her new home ou an 18 acre farm near Terry Hills. Mrs. Gotofsky gave birth to twins on March 22, 1893. Roth are living Since then the Gotof<-\V family haihad an annual increase of one, two or three members. In 1894 but one came, and that one died within a week after its birth. Twins followed In 1896, and in 1896 triplets, all of whom are living. The twins born in 1897, 1898 and 1899 all died in tntnncy. Mrs. Gotofsky gave birth to one child only in each of the two following years, but in 1902 she was again the mother of twins. For the next three years one child was born annually, and then in 1906 triplet* came. Last year they wore twins and the four which were added oi Wednesday make the total numbe: of 30. Besides raising his family, Mr. Go tofsky has had such great succesthat he now owns the place with ui mortgage nnd has added about 2t acres to the original 18. GOV. HEY WARD VERY SICK Has Announced Withdrawal fron Senatorial Race. The Columbia State says it ha: been known to his most intimat< - friends for two or three weeks that Gov. Heyward's health was in a pre carious condition. The condition however, was not considered seriom by any other than his immcdiatt family and his physician until afte< IiIb trip to Georgia last week. It was hoped that this trip won if' entirely restore him, but it failed t< do so. On his return from Georgii his condition was found to he seri ou8, so much so that his physieium have been Insisting for several davt on taking him to a sanitorium. H? has, however, strenuously fough fthls Idea. For several days he has been confined to his bed and his conditioi has grown so much worse that It ha been found imperative that he g away at once for treatment. Gov. Heyward was too ill to h? seen Wednesday, but it was stated 01 his behalf that he will not be a can dldate, for the senate since Ills physi clans. Drs. Mcintosh and Guerry enter the campaign.

Fla, and losing hijob. crawled in a freight car ladei with potatoes to make his way back to Now York. While he was asleei in the car the door was locked am the car stnrted northward. For se\ en days and nights he was locked li the car, and the heat was intense To nppease his hunger he ate sone of the raw potatoes, but they madi J him deathly ill, and some time in the fifth day he lost consciousness Finally after a journey of 1,20C. mileH the train reached New York where the car was opened. O'Conneil was found unconscious and taken to the hospital where typhoid fever developed. * I.AI) BKKAKS HIS NECK. Fly Falling From Stair Hailing Wliilt Sliding Down.

In the old days of chivalry th? soldier did not receive direct pay Id ihe exact sense that he does to-day !>ut for hla services rewards wen iue, and necessarily so. to preserve n him proper subordination. HI* <eep and his weapons were furnished him by his "over-lord," and with Lbem food and raiment, and certain .privileges pertaining to his art, now <nowo aud Included in the modern '.erm "loot.". The rule has passed down the a^et ihat a fighting man must needs fight .or somethlug more substantial than irlnclple, and more satisfying thai) patriotism,- so that even in the Rev lutlou, the obscure pages of history, h found this momentous question ol jay, and right troubling as It was at hat time. In the War of 1812, a better regu atlou had come into effect and the illowances for rations and clothing md pay were saner and more satis ying, as Indeed was true- in tht ater war with Mexico, and in the .' eat Rebellion of 1860. The side von which had the money behind it: he armies which were fed and clothd and paid, were maintained at ffectlve strength during the terri>le later days" struggles, while the vss fortunate opponents found theli ghting strength dwindling away, ruo perhaps, owing to physical exlaustion, but nevertheless equally rue. Indeed, owing to an uncertain upply of the essential elements lor oldlers; and not the leaBt of these as pay. Parallel with this question arises he fact that a soldier's profession is i trade in oxactly the same sense that arpentry, masonry or mechan'cs re a source of livelihood, and to maintain an effective, disciplined aray, the renutueration must be coni'Utltive with the price paid in civilian .fe. So lu the War of the Rebellion, fter the supply of volunteer eulist onts bad been practically exhaustd, the authorities did not appeal o the partiotism of the natlou, "ntt o the poclgets. In the Ehape of a ounty, and this certainly did meet te situation for the time being. The days of going to church with rlfie over the shoulder have been >rgotteu. the menace of the Indian I the West has passed, there is uni orsal security practically from one od ot the country to the other, aud le soldier's weapon, once so neceisry for sqjf-preservation, is used on/ sb a diversion in the few rematntg game centers, and in the target alieries. With this has passed the fellow cling for the man who must face iiysical annihilation at the call of .jriuclple and the order of his su rior. So that the drat question died by a prospective recruit Is the uiuru IUIIB IJIICSIIUU Ui l>?y, HUQ II1S rat mental action 1b a comparison etween the Holdier pay and that of .a former occupation. The altracve recruiting posters do not state uch about the actual advantages o4 -oldior's life from a patriotic point view; they dwell upon the pay id the allowances, and somewhat of urse upon the change of life in >lved. So the great fallacy that each and ery American is a soldier by in.inct and race if a rifle is but placI in his hand, is pathetically apparnt to-day. This was Indeed true to certain extent when the edge of he forest might harbor the savage ndian, but that has long passed, and he performances of our citizen sollery, such as at Rladenshurg and t (Jueenstowu, and later in the earler days of the Civil War. does not effect any great amount of credit u America. A modern army to-day must be rgauized upon a business basis if it .lust compete for men with the n i ustrial world; the soldier must re elve adequate pay and allowance." .

Something new and interesting bout ante was recently learned by s iorlst. For a week or so he tia I ecn bothered by ants that got into oxes of seeds, w hlch rested on e belf. To get rid of the ants he put Into xecution an old plan, which was to lace a uieaty bone close by, which he nuts soon covered, deserting the lOXttt of seeds. As soon as the bone vecame thick ly inhabited by the little creeper rhe florist tossed it into a tub ol water. Tho ants having been wash ?d off, the bone was again put in ise as a trap. The florist bethought himself thn' he would save trouble by placing tlu hone In the center of a sheet of flypaper, believing that the ants would get caught on the sticky fly-papji while trying to reach the food. Ftui the florist was surprised to find that the auts, upon discovering the natur* of the paper trap, formed a working force and built a path on the papei clear to the bone. The material for the work wn? Diiuu, nwurou irum a mue pile neir by.

PEARLER WELL EQUIPPEC With a Suit of India Rubber* Cop|km Breastplates, and Leaden WelglHt He Descends to the Bottom of tin Sea?Spends From Six to Eight Hours There. The Servllia pearl given by Jullut Caesar to Brutus' mother was said tt have beeu worth $175,000, says Lou don Tit-Bits. For a pearl au incu in diameter a Persian shah of tht seventeenth century Is said to havt paid $320,000. The pearl market it somewhat lower nowadays, but price's are still high enough to make diving profitable. The era of naked divers exposed to peril Irom sharks has passed away. Modern progress equips tht pearler with a suit of India rubber copper breastplate, with leaden weights back and front; helmet, glass panelled and with telephonic attach ments; air pipes, life lines and 6 submarine searchlight. Thus equip ped the pearl diver may spend six or eight hours at the bottom of the sea, whereas in olden times three minutes made a record. Although pearls are found In nearly all mollusks and even In univalve? like the Australian hallotis, a kind of barnacle, true pearls are produced only by the pearl oyster or mothei ot pearl shell. The latter is reall.v the diver's bread and butter. Th? shells are as big as dinner plates and> weigh two pounds when cleaned They fetch from $500 to $750 a ton The aucleul fisheries were chielly in the Indian Oceau and Persian Gull but nowadays the best pearls coma from Ceylon and from Australiai waters", especially Torres Straits Pearl fishing in Ceylon is a govern mer.t monopoly. In March the tleel starts for the pearling grounds, each vessel with twenty or thirty divers and their assistants. But the head quarters of pearling are to be fornd in the desolate country extending from Exinouth Gulf to King Sound In Western Australia. A glisteniug white coast line is this, whose monotovy is broken only bj mango fringed salt water creekand scorching deserts of splnifex and sand. Long before inland gold was j dreamed of roving natives fished these seas for pearls, and they paid many visits to Roebuck Bay and what is now tho pearl town ol Broome. Chinese and Malays as well ar tribes of native black fellows ara there to-day, but the old nude divers, the reign of terror and piracy when a large haul was made?these and similar conditions have passed away, giving pluce to Qeets and lug gers carrying nioderu diving outfit? and representatives of the inevitable capitalist in the person of the mastei pearlers. Here aie six hnndreJ miles of coast line, with perhaps the thousand hardy adventurers eng-ged in the pearl trade. There are some thousands of Jap j mnese, Maiiilumcn, Malays and men of other races acting chiefly as crew? j for the vessels. The vessels art schooner rigged and from seven ;t founteen tons burden. Each carrlea master diver and a crew of font one of whom is the diver'B assistaii'. and works the air pumps. Anothet holds the life line and pays attention to signals; another is catching fish or peeling potatoes for dinner, aun It may be a third has gone off in th? dingey for fresh water and fire-wood 1 I *' "? a uc ontriio ?ra iuuiiu on lecigestbout nluely feet down In the se* but they are far more plentiful at ertater depth. Fortune awaits the iu\entor of a diving apparatus which will enable the pearler to work in comfort one hundred fathoms down The lugger has a low freeboard t? allow the diver with his heavy dres. and gear to be easily hauled jj> hoard. He carries a net holding th? shells with him, and when this It full he has It hauled up so that h himself may ruu no risk of entaug ling life line or air pipe. When the pearler works at, Rav twenty fathoms he moves easily, not withstanding his forty-pound boot* uuiid groves of coral trees, interlaced with Muttering, fern-like plants among whose branches swim gorge ous tropical flsh and sinister wate> snakes, which seem to resent the in tru.don of so strange a monster. A good day's work Is anything more than two hundred pairs o! 6hells. The business is absolute!} speculative. One diver may gathei ton after ton of shells without, se curing anything of greater valu than a few seed pearls, while an other may take a fortune out in ?. day's gathering. The most famous -pearl discovei ed in Australia of late years is knowi as the Southern Cross. It consist of a cluster of nine pearls in th 6hnpe of a cross. This freak of nu twre was picked up at low wuter 01 the Laclpede Island by a beachcoml' ei named Clark, who, after buryirn it for some time for superstition reasons, sold it for $50; later, i brought $50,000. The pearl diver of to-day, protect ed as he is by every device knoui to modern submarine engineering, t exposed to many perils. He may lochia life by the tearing of his dreh upon the sharp coral rocks. Surplus l.alH>r Causing Trouble. A number of young men overturnpd a wagon loaded with Japanese laborers at El Centre. Cal., on Thurs day, and a party of Japanese was itoned at the railroad station. Sev?rnl arrests have been made. At Brawloy a number of Japanese were aken from a wagon and threatened. The troubble Is due to the surplus of abors seeking work in the cantaoupe field. ^ ^ ;[ . J Fixing Up Things. I Taft's friends being in a majority i on the National Republican Executive Committee have things their * own way, and what they say goes, i The committee has been in session in i Chicago for several days arranging ' the contested delegations, which are mostly from the South. From near- < ly every Southern State there is a < Taft and an anti-Taft delegation, but this does not worry the Taft people much. They proceed to fix up things easy for Taft by putting the names of those delegates who are favorable to him on the list. ine opposition is iuu 01 rage, Dut it rageth in vain.C As the Charleston Post says "all is Taft that comes into the hopper of the national committe, or rather all is Taft that comes out of the mill. Evidently it is intended that 110 chance shall be taken. The convention is to be most carefully constituted so that it will turn out no other result than a Taft nomination, and the national committee is on the job. Taft agents and exponents hold proxies for seats on the committee, his employees swarm about the scene, and steadily the grind goes on that is to convert the opposition into support. In vain do the "allies" shriek to heaven that they are undone by this high handed proceeding; that is what the Taft machine is for, made and guaranteed for just such undoing work and its operators are quite accustomed and arc entirely indifferent to the shrieks of the victims. The order has gone out of the White House to nominate Taft and that will be done, in spite of the consequences. The full brutality of the Roosevelt policy is being illustrated to the eminent gentlemen who are candidates against the favorite. They may be Republicans in good standing but they might just as well be Democrats for all the consideration they are going to receive in this business of Mr. Roosevelt's. "Maybe it is a winning game, hut maybe, too, it will be carried to far.' The Republican convention this year is to be a political massacre, and the shedding of so much Republican blood must leave some sorrow and some hatred behind. Will Mr. Fair banks and Mr. Hughes and Mr. Cannon and Mr. Knox and Mr. La Follette feel like whooping it up for Mr. Taft after the convention has jammed him at the head of the ticket over their mangled corpses? Of course they will whoop, all right, but will they feel comfortable and enthusiastic? Not very much so. And there will l>e a good many thousands who will know their feeling and will take it out at the polls. The Republicans are a well disciplined political crowd but they have their limit of endurance and the allies may have reached it this time. "They certainly should have, for there never was seen before?no, not even when Hanna was framing up the nomination of McKinlev -such wanton disregard of the rights and interests of all save the favorite, as has been in the preliminaries of the Chicago convention. It witpretty bad in 1896 and the effect of it would have shown in the election too, except that every thing was forgotten in the face of the free silver menace of the Democrats. There will be no cloud of that sort this year to obscure the enmities of thi Republicans, nor under the cover of which they may make truce, and A 1 1 me raw spots tne convention is g<ing to make on the party will not easily be healed. The Republican convention is being run in a way that promises some comfort to ti tDemocrats. From the point ol | view of a Democrat the performance is distinctly entertaining." Ilryan Will Fk-at Tall. Taft is certain to recieve the Republican nomination for President at Chicago this month, and he is equally certain to be defeated at the polls in November by Bryan, who will be nominated by acclamation at Denver as the Democratic Presidential candidate. As tin National Food Magazine puts it "the politicians have agreed under the will of Mr. Roosevelt and Taft influence, that the 350-pounder shall be nominated by the Republi can party but the people do not A'ant Taft." The Magazine goes or to say that "the people have two idols: thev will be satisfierl with ni. I ther. Theif preference, however, would be for the one who has been tried and found honest, courageous and just. Therefore the people would rather vote for Theodore Roosevelt than for William Jennings Bryan. But they believe in Mr. Bryan---they know that many of the policies called Roosevelt policies todiy were the Bryan pe iciesj of t velve years ago, executed by a man having the courage of his convictions. They know now, from the exposures of recent years that Mr, Bryan was defeated for the presidency in both his campigns by a deluge of money coming from the coffers of the 'twilight zone' marau ders. They believe that William Jennings Bryan knows Jhe difference betweeen right and wrong and has the courage to protect the people's ' interest. They love Theodore Roose- th velt for the good he has occomplish- th ed; they love William Jennings Bry- ca em for the good they knew he can Ts accomplish. The republican party hii will either nominate Theodore an Roosevelt or go to defeat if the kr democratic party nominates William fo Jennings Bryan. The National Food pi Magazine has no interest in politics, as such, but is interested in the election of men who will strive for ar the passage of good laws and insist ki on their execution. For thirty years th the United States was in sore need w of a food law that would prohibit pj the swindling adulterator from pois in oning the people, but it was not un- pi til Theodore Roosevelt became pres- aj. ident that such a law was made pos- si sible. The "interests" were too tl strong until the man of courage m arrived at the White House. We know what he accomplished for the ^ cause this magazine represents and ^ we would therefore prefer that Theodore Roosevelt be retained as n the president of the U.?ited States, _ but if this cannot be done, our pre- ~~ ference is for a man who believes in the same principles and who. we believe, has equal courage in action William Jennings Bryan. The Old Veterans. Again the United Confederate a Veterans, grizzled heroes who fought on many bloody battlefields ,, for a loosing cause, are assembled in annual reunion at Birmingham, p Ala. Death has thinned the ranks n visibly since the general reunion in Richmond last year, and a hush of V sadness has fallen upon the remnants ^ of the vanishing hosts of the Con- ^ federacy because of the recent death h in Vieksburg of General Stephen D. :i Lee, commander-in-chief of the l< "United Confederate Veterans. The yi conclave, which began Tuesday in ^ the Magic City will be a time for t] recounting past victories and defeats v from which all the old sectional bit- P terness has departed, and for last greetings and partings between 1 many of the aged veterans who re- ^ ali/.e that on this occasion they may answer to their last roll call on earth. Many federal veterans were present and fraternizing with boy^ V in gray the enmity between "Yanks" and "Robs", forgotten. The gray line grows thinner and thinner, and soon the last Old Confederate Vet eran will cross over the river to V rest under the shade of the trees with Lee, Jackson and the host of others who made the name of the Southern soldier immortal, by their valor'&nd heroism. Of Interest to l>cin?erats. ? c The National Democratic Con gressional Campaign Committee has begun active operations at its headquarters at Washington, D. C. It> addition to its regular work, it is now preparing a campaign hand book which it hopes to t&ve read> for distribution by July 1?two 01 V three months earlier than heretofore. The Committee is charged with the duty of assisting, in every wa . possible, the election of a Demo i: cratic Congress.

The Taft interests have started a Vice-Presidential boom for Cortelyno 1 who is said to have been Wall Street's ' choice for the Presidential nomina tion. He is to act as a buffer be " tween Taft and Wall Street in ex ? tracting funds from the trust mag- A nates to finance the campaign.

One of Taft's political managers j says "from the wav things are now i going, no name but Taft's will be ' presented to the convention." Sure. What would be the use, after the j Taft committee gets through "fix- ' ing" the delegates as they have been doing at Chicago for some days.
