After hearing arguments on all of
the legal points involved, Judge New*

the further hearing of the case
until Monday, October 7, when he will
render a decision on the demurrers
filed by the state and decide upon the j

"This cause came on this day, on a
rule to show cause why injunction
pendente lite should not issue against
the defendants to the original bill as
therein prayed for. The complainants
presented two amendments to their
Mil, and the defendants presented a
lemurrer. It is:
"Ordered, That the hearing be post- j
>oned until Monday, October 7, 1907,
it 10 o'clock a. m., at which time the

Jon. Hoke Smith, governor of Georgia,
can and should be made a party

as prayed in the bill.

"W. T. NEWMAN, U. S. Judge."
The action of the Central in atempting
to make the governor a pars'
to the suit caused surprise, as it
as heretofore been believed that the
overaor of a state could not be sued.

PARIS WOMEN ENRAGED.
Thousands Parade City's Streets In
Demonstration Against Fiend Who
Was Saved from Guillotine.
The rising indignation of the
French masses against the escape
from the guillotine cf Soleillant,
known as the "monstrous violator
and murderer," whose sentence to
death for the atrocious muiderer of
a 12-year-old girl, was commuted last
week by President Fallieres to life
imprisonment, was expressed in Paris
Sunday in a series of the most curious
public manifestations that have
occurred in France for a long time.
The demonstration, despite the fact
that several arrests were made, was
almost entirely orderely. Many women
participated. The protest was organised
not so much against Soleillant
as to express the voice of the populace
against the wave of unspeakable
crimes committed on little girls which
lately has increased to an alarming
degree and which, it is feared, the
commutation of the sentence of Soleillant
will only stimulate.
Several thousand persons were engaged
in demonstrations at various
points of the city and especially large
was the crowd in the Place Saint
Ambroise, near which bved little Martha
Eberding, the victim of Soleilisnt
Thp raep of the women of the
district has been great since President
Fallieres showed clemency to
Soleillant. They assembled Sunday
afternoon with their husbands and
other of the sympathizers and were
augmented in numbers by crowds of
curious persons. Their orderly cries
for justice were quickly changed to
cries of "death to Soleillant," and
"down with Fallieres," as the precession,
led by a woman, who carried a
little girl on her shoulders, with the
purpose of indicating the object of
manifestation, moved toward the Place
de la Republique. Soon the streets
were choked by a vast mob and the
police reserves were called out to disperse
it. The paarde, however, assembled
again, and several of the
more violent demonstrators were arI
rested.
The newspapers of Paris are devoting
great space to the Soleillant case.
Many of them loudly condemn the
failure of President Faillieres to permit
the law to take its course, and
oil nr thpm a<?ree that the ccmrauta
tation of this sentence signifies the
passing for ever of the guillotine from
France. Some of rthe journals express
the opinion that the escape of
Soleillant from the guillotine only
places a premium on crime.
The entire question of crime will
be taken up at the approaching session
of parliament, especially as Paris
and other large cities are becoming
alarmingly infested with another type
of criminal known as "the apache,"
who in the secluded sections, almost
daily maim and rob and sometimes
murder their vicitims. Their weapons
always are knives, and, gathering in
bands, they often wantonly stab pedestrians
and frequently policemen merely
for the sake of stabbing.
M. Touny, director of the Paris police,
declared that his force was entirely
insufficient to cope with the
situation. He recommended the adop"

breakers as an offset to comfortable
and inviting prisons.

will elect to go to the plantations, as
they are of a class that has been
largely devoted to agriculture.

EMPRESSJF SEAS I
Is Mighty Steamer Lusitania!
or the lunard Line.
ALL REC0f:DS SMASHED
In Transit Time Between New York
and English Port?Clamorous Welcome
Given Great Liner
by the Gothamites.
A tipw ctpamhnat rpcnrd hpfwppn
a European port and New York was
made by the Cunard line's new giant
turbine ship, the Lusitania, which
arrived in New York Friday morning.
The Lusitania left Queenstown, the
nearest trans-Atlantic port to New
York at 12:10 a. m., Sunday, and
arrived at the Sandy Hook lightship
at 8:05 a. m. Friday, njaking the
time for the trip five days, one hour
and thirty-three minutes.
This is five hours and fifty minutes
better than the previous QueenstownNew
York record of five days, seven
V? Anrc onH twnntv.thrnn minntne
by the Lucania of the same line.
While the Lusitania has made a new
record for the time, a passenger is
actually on board ship, she has not
beaten the average speed per hour
recorded by the Kaiser Wilhelm II,
which has made 23-58 knots per hour
from New York to Plvmoufh, and the
Deutchland, with a record of 23.51
knots per hour to Plymouth, having
made the latter time. The Lusitania's
speed per hour on her maiden voyage
is estimated at 23.01 knots per
hour.
The new ship was decked with flags
and bunting when she made her appearance
off Sandy : Hook Friday
morning, her four big red funnels lending
color to the picture which was
marred by the prevailing haze.
A good sight of jthe beautiful vessel
was had from shore for only a short
while. Her passengers lined the railings
and crowded the different decks
of the large vessel, waving handkerchiefs
and American and British
flags. The marine observatory stations
on shore dipped their flags in salute,
other vessels in the lower bay blew
their whistles in greeting, and the
Lusitania's blue ensign was constantly
lowered and raised again In acknowledgment
of the reception given her.
She steamed slowly up the bay for
the new Ambrose channel, dug especially
for vessels of great draft, and
which she will be the first to use
in entering the port of New York.
While the giant Cunarder swept up
the bay, she was given a clamorous
greeting by an immense fleet of
steam crafts, which had congregated
nfp thp miarantine station to await
her arrival.
Nearly every one of the yachts, tow
boats and other steamers was crowded
with passengers, well supplied with
horns and other noise-making devices,
and at times even the steamships
were almost drowned by the toots and
cheers.
The Lusitania presented a magnificent
picture as she slowly drew up at
the quarantine. v i
Her keen, high bow, beautifully sym- !
metrical lines and finely modeled
stern, marked her a truly grey-hound.
The first sight of New York which
the passengers on the big steamer
gained was one of welcome. From the
highest point of the towering Singer
building on Broadway, the tallest
building oil Broadway, there had been
strung a series o! signal flags which
in the marine code spelled "welcome."
The fluttering greeting was 600 feet
above Manhattan's greater thoroughfare
and could be seen far down the
bay.
For the past three years every one
interested in shipping has been
watching the express steamers building
for the Cunard Line. Ever since
the pioneer "Brittania," with her 1,154
tons and a speed of 8 1-2 knots," made
her initial voyage in 1840, this com
pany has gone steadily forward, each !
new conception outdoing the previous
one, until in the Lusitania, launched
June 7, 1906, the very acme of marine
architecture was reached.
The dimensions of this mammoth
ship convey but vaguely her size?
the figures are as follows: Length, I
790 feet; breadth, 6S feet; depth
(moulded), CO feet; gross tonnage, 32,500
tons; displacement tonnage, 45,000
tons, load draught, 37 feet 6
inches; height of funnels, 24 feet;
height of masts, 216 feet.

Woman Who Shot and Killed Husband
Convicted With RecommendaI

Mrs. Ethel W. Blair, charged with
the murder of her husband, M. V.

' January last, was convicted of man|
(daughter in Columbia, S. C., with a

| Inasmuch as the verdict was not
reached until noon Sunday, sentence
i
i was postponed.'
j Mrs. Blair, who is about thirty years
of age, and the mother of two children,
is an unsually handsome wc- j
man and stood well in the community.
When Mrs. Blair was brought into .
j tho court room there were no visible
. signs of the ordeal that she has passed
j through, but, on hearing the verdict,
she fainted and had to be lifted from
[ the court room.
j Within an hour after the verdict, i
; j
j Mrs. Blair had recovered sufficiently
to be taken to the eounty jail.
On the-16th of last January McCul!
ley W. Blair, conductor on the road
.' between Columbia and Laurens, was
shot to death at his home on Marion
: street in Columbia. The fatal wound,
i
! it was charged, was inflicted by Mrs.
| Blair.
j Columbia was thoroughly shocked
by this great tragedy. At the inquij
sition made by the coroner there was

; deceased was placed under arrest. A j

Captain Blair was 53 years of age,
I his wife 30. He was a victim of a

required constant medical treatment.
J There was apparently no affinity be;

In the most sensational trial of the
year only a day was required. The
jury in the case assisted very materially
by denying itself of several
privileges. /
The prosecution produced no evidence
to prove the infidelity of the j
wife, although there were insinuations j
in the testimony. And on the other j
hand, the defense's witnesses contra- f
dieted contradicted nearly everything I
to which they had testified at the in- {
quest
; Mrs. Blair, who was not required to |
i make any statement at the inquest, I
! but nevertheless made at that time l
I a declaration which she contradict- I
j ed in several particulars, declared
i that she ha'd no recollection of some
details of her statement on the night
of the killing. Mrs. Neal, another
very important witness in the case,
denied some statements she had made
at the inquest.
Since the killing Mrs. Blair had
been out on bond. The trial was de- f
I
laved for some hours at the beginning
on account of five state witnesses being
absent.

Captain Buck Arms, a conductor

of the principal witnesses in the trial.
Arms was a close friend to Captain

that there were improper relations l"
between the two.

NEW SPECIES.
Brown Zebras and Black-Lined Antelopes
Seen in Africa.
Intimation concerning two new
species of animals, indigenous to Africa,
has been conveyed to Europe by.
Mr. J. E. Speares, who hhs been
spending several months in trapping
and hunting big game in Portugese
East Africa in the regions surrounding
Lake Nangadi and the Rovuma
River. One of these refers to a new
type of zebra, a whole herd of which
the hunter observed near by, but a
specimen of which he failed to secure.
Many members of this h6rd were
marked differently to the prevailing
type of this animal, the heads and
necks being brown, while the hind_
quarters were striped In the conventional
manner peculiar to this quadruped.
When the natives were questioned
upon the point, they asserted
that they were a variety of zebra, ' '
but that they were becoming very
scarce. Although the hunter pursued
the herd for several miles, owing to
their agility and timidity he was un
able to approach them closely. Upon
another occasion, however, he was /
more fortunate and secured a closer
view'cf the animal. It resembles the
zebra in shape, but the head, neck,
fore-legs, and fore half of the body
were quite dark brown in color, the
hiqd part of the body, including the
legs, being striped. He also discovered
a peculiar type of antelope similar
in size and shape to the Boer roebuck
or impala, the distinctive difference
being a black line down the
centre of the back and on either hind- rl
leg down to the foot. When the antmal
is startled it immediately takes
to flight, the initial leap being fully

of antelope Is essentially gregarious,
being found in herds ranging from
ten to fifty in number, and is exceedingly
wild and active. Mr. Speares
also secured what is believed to be a
new species of buck which is perfectly
hornless, about as large as- a
steenbuck and possessing a brilliant
red coat.?Scientific American.

blooming before thera, all ready for
them to pluck."?New York Press.
Witness Knew New York.
The witness was beginning to weaken
under the fierce cross -examination
of the plantiff's lawyer. Twice
he had told his story through with-'
out contradicting himself in any of
the details. The case was a suit for M
damages against a street railway for
injuries received in an accident
"Are you familiar with the locality
of the accident?" snapped the law- /
yer.
"Yes," replied the witness, show:
ine- si ens of fatisue.
"Tell the jury what business places
stand on. the four corners of Ninth

The witness fidgeted.
"Four liquor stores," he ventured.'

witness, who was familiar with New
York City in general, had guessed
right.?Washington Post.

fered greatly from headaches and indigestion.
While on a visit to my
brothers I had a good chance to try
Postum Food Coffee, for they drank
it altogether in place of ordinary coffee.
In two weeks after using Postum
I found I was much benefited,
and finally my headaches disappeared
and also the indigestion.
"Naturally I have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed
a marked benefit where coffee
has been left off and Postum used.
"I observed a curious fact about
Postum when used among mothers.
It greatly helps the flow of milk in
cases where coffee is inclined to dry
it up, and where tea causes nervousness.
"I find trouble in getting servants
to make Postum properly. They
most always serve it before it has
been boiled long enough. It should
be boiled 15 to 20 minutes after boiling
begins and served with cream,
when it is certainly a delicious beverage."
