Vardaman's Makes Scathing
Reply.
Quite the biggest sensation of tlie
year was stirred up in Jackson. Miss.,
Wednesday afternoon when the following
telegrams were given out by
the governor:
"St. Louis, November 27, 1904.?To
Kon. James K. Vardaman. Governor
of. Mississippi, Jackson. Miss.?The
president's visit to the exposition yesterday
was greatly enjoyed by himself
||yand appreciated by the exposition
management and the people, who welcomed
him in large numbers.
"He saw and admired the Mississippi
building and expressed great satisfaction
at the participation of your
state. DAVID R. FRANCIS,
"President."
Governor Vardaman reDlieri as fol
I lows:
"Hon. David R. Francis, President
v" of World's Fair Commission, St.
Louis, Mo.?Your courteous message
informing me that the president 'saw
and admired the Mississippi building
and expressed great satisfaction at
the state's participation in the fair' j
has been received. I thank you for
this information. It is of course, grat,
' ifying to the people of Mississippi to ,
know that they have done one thing
that the present president of the Unif?.
ted States approves. Doubtless the
president's admiration of the Missis- j
sippi building is due to his admira- j
tion ef Jefferson Davis, of whose last
Mfryy.. home it is a replica. I want to conppf'.'
gratulate you on the mansgement of
KgK the greatest exposition the world has ;
. ever known.
"JAMES K. VARDAMAN."
Both the daily papers of Jackson,
which are democratic, condemn the J
I telegram of Governor Vardaman.
The News says: "The people of
Mississippi expect more of their governor
than a display of small petty
hatred. They expect him to be a
broad-minded man, who in every relation
of life will meet courtesy by
courtsey."
The Clarion Ledger says: "Governor
Vardaman has made the mistake
of mixing politics, sectional feeling
and personal dislikes with state, national
and business affairs, when he
Wftkes a sarcastic reply that will be
quoted from Maine to California, from
New Orleans to Kalamazoo, to the in-:
jury and discredit of the great state !
.of Mississippi."
A large number of telegrams from j
-pnoxninent citizens of Jackson have i
1 been sent to Preside. + Francis, of the !
-world's fair, cypres ing their hearty :
-disapproval of the language and the i
spirit of the Vardaman telegram, and ; j
- thanking President Roosevelt for hist

WOMAN SUED FOR LARGE SUM.
??
: Quarter of a Million Loan is Demanded
of Mrs. Cassie Chad wick.
A sensation has been caused in New
: York by the bringing of suit by Herj
bert D. Newton, of Brookline, Mass.,
! against Mrs. Cassie Chadwick, of
! Cleveland, Ohio, for $100,000, for money
loaned. Mrs. Chadwick is the wife
of a Cleveland physician. In addition
to Mr. Newton's suit, several banks*
have taken legal action to recover various
amounts, which bring the toial,,
sum to $267,000. Mr. Newton alleges
that Mrs. Chadwick told him she had
$5,000,000 in bonds and securities held
in trust by Ire Reynolds, secretary j
and treasurer of the Wade Park Bank- '
ing Company, of Cleveland, and that j
she had a note for $500,000 which she j
could negotiate at any time for the j
purpose of paying Newtcn. He loaned
her $190,000.
P. W. Carver, of Boston, attorney J
jf ?r_ \r i : _ :
ior .air. ixewion, iu a suiLemeiii. iur j
his client, said that when the amount i
j
became payable it was not met and
then he (Mr. Carver) had a conference j
with Mrs, Chadwick and her counsel. j
"The statement was made to me," i
said Mr. Carver, "that the securities !
held as a trust fund, would soon be j
released and that in a short time the
various obligations would be paid, j
Later I went to Cleveland, where I j
had a conference with Mr. Reynolds, ,
but he refused to disclose ar.y infor- ,
mation as to the securities in his
care."
Besides Mr. Newton, the plaintiffs I
in the suits against Mrs. Chadwick j
are the Euclid Avenue Savings and j
Trust Company, of Cleveland, for I
?38,231, the Savings Deposit Bank
and Trust Company, of Elyria, Ohio,
for $10,000, and the American Exchange

Few occupations are more hazardous

the workmen sooner or later, despite

airlock 'Wftii the pressure almost as
gr ?at as.it was in the chamber far be-'

The njodus operandi will be about as
^follows: The candidates, preferably
v?*terafcs of-other jobs of this character,
will be critically examined by surgeons
and their histories taken. If acceptable
they will be placed in an air chamber
diily and the pressure increased
to., thirty and then to forty pounds to
the square inch. They will be kept
there for half an hour and then the
pressure will be reduced very slowly.
Tlie next day the process will be renewed
with a longer period in the
chamber and thp pressure increased'
f-onsid^rablv and the time of "decom
pression," as it is called, extended.
This will be kept up until the men
show that?they can probably withstand
the pressure necessary to enable them
to work at a depth of more than a
hundred feet.
When the work is really under way
these men will descend in a tube by
means of a ladder to an air chamber
at the base of the caisson. Entering
this, they will proceed to work the
boring shield and to brace the opening
made by the boring machinery that
loosens the mud and sand by jets of
water impelled by enormous pressure.
The debris is whizzed np a standpipe
to the surface by the same power of
compressed air. The meu lay concrete
as rapidly as the level desired is
reached and the weight of the concrete
sinks the eaisson into the mud as
.the mud and sand from within the air
chamber at the base is of the caissoa
are removed. The further down the
caisson sinks the more air pressure is
needed to keep out the weight of water
around the great hollow box.

Woif Von Schierbraud was formerly
a correspondent of the Associated
Pre3S at Beriin. He had intimate access
to high official orders. Once he
published some information about a
certain plan of the Kaiser, and the
Emperor ordered his arrest.
Von Schierbrand's house was surrounded
by the police. They had seen
him enter. Mr^Yon Schierbrand put
a dummy with a moustache at his
study window. The police, who believed
him there, watched the front of
the house, while he escaped through a

[a river choked by hoopskirts :
Thoiuanild of Tliom Were Once Thrown
Into Stream at Kalamazoo.
The Kalamazoo Council has nndpf
consideration the dredging of Kalama-zoo
River from the city of Cooper, a
distance of several miles, for the deepening
of the bed in some places and the
removal of sandbars in others. The
estimated cost of a thorough job is
?30.000. and for half the money, it is
believed, the situation can be materially
improved and the damage by
| nooas greany lessened.
If the dredging is^undertaken, particular
attention should be paid to that
portion of the river -within th?" corporation
which 'has nerer recovered,
even with time's help, from the choking
the channei received during the
hoopskirt era of forty years ago. when
every cast-off crinoline found its way
to as near the middle of the stream as
a wounded an^d outraged male member
of the household could throw it. Those
old lioopskirts are there yet, save the
comparatively few?which are manyraised
out by fishermen with hook and .
line. They are there by the thousands,
a plague and pestilence breeder. They-,
have dammed the river.

?Detroit Tribune.
IA New Type of Microscope.
A new type of high-power microscope
invented by Mr. J. W. Gordon
was recently exhibited in London.
Says The Scientific American Supplement:
"It is well-known fact that
when high magnification is-attempted
by a series of lenses arranged In conventional
manner, the emergent beam
of light which enters the eye of the
observer is so small that vision is de- 1
ficient, owing to the fact that the pupit.
of the eye is. not entirely filled with
light. It is consequently apparent
that in order to obtain satisfactory
results in excessive magnification the
emergent ray should be expanded: In
such a way as to fill the pupil of the
eye. This result is' achieved in this
microscope of Mr. J. W. Gordon. It
comprises an ordinary microscope with
an eccentrically rotating glass screen
with a finely grained surface placed in
xt- ?* fl-,J mv.fr. thrnnrrh
me view-fieiu. iuu & ucn^u
a second microscope which has an
object-glass of half an inch, by means
of which a further magnification of
100 diameters is rendered possible.
Ihe transmitted emergent beam is expanded
by the ground-glass screen so
that it fills the second microscope, and
there are no imperfections whatever
in the magnifications. The inventor
demonstrated this by magnifying a
diatom to 10,000 diameters, and its
structure was perfectly clear and defined
right to the edges. A comprehensive
idea of the extent of this excessive
magnification may be gathered
from the fact that if the eye of an
ordinary house-fly were magnified on
the same scale it would cover "an area
of 312 feet The idea of the groundgrained
screen being made to revolve
is to prevent the grain thereon becoming
visible and thereby interfering
with the magnifying of the subject
under observation, while as it is not
in contact with either of the microscopes
there is a complete absence of
vibration."
The Cape to Cairo Railroad.
The Cape to Cairo railroad, the inception
of the late Cecil Rhodes, has
reached the southern bank of the Zambesi
River at the Victoria Falls. The
first section of the project is now
realized, over 1600 miles of track having
been laid down, stretching from
Cape Town xo mis yumi. iuc instruction.
of the single-spaa bridge,
which is to carry the track across the
Zambesi gorge at a height of 420
feet, is now being proceeded with, and
the second section of the railroad will
then be commenced. This section will
run from the north bank of the Broken
Hill, in the direction of Lake Tanganyika,
a distance of 350 miles. Beyond
that point no definite course has
been decided, though there are several
projected routes under consideration.
According to Cecil Rhodes, this transcontinental
railroad was to be 5700
miles in length. While the track has
been steadily constructed northward
from Cape Town, the Egyptian end
has been simultaneously proceeded
with, and it is now 1400 miles south
of Khartoum. About another 2000
miles of track has therefore yet to be
laid before through railroad communication
is established between Cape
Town and Cairo.
