Field and track day for the enlisted
men 01 the Atlantic fleet and premium
day at the lair wore the main
celebrations of Wednesday with the
brilliant naval ball that night at the
Charleston navy yard and the openlug
of the "fashion show" in the decoration
of the windows of the King
street stores. The enlisted men had
their usual daily matinee at the Victoria
theatre, but the football games
w?r? not played on Wednesday, on
account of the Hold and track events,
which had boon arranged for their
sport and entertainmont. The award
of honors interested the exhibitors
especially at tho fair groun.is and
with the increased crowds coining in
for the colouration, mu unniuanw
Showed a big gain over the previous :
attendance. While an extended pro- <
pram me of amusements and entertainments
are in progress in Charles- i
ton, the naval vessels have also begun
t<? entertain, and there are morning
and midday luncheons, afternoon teas
and night suppers being given on the
big floating palaces.
The navy yard ball Wednesday
night was one of the big functions
of the numerous entortainments in
honor of Commander-in-chief Osterhaus
and other officers of the Atlantic
fleet, and it was given on a scale
surpassing anything of the kind, attempted
at Charleston before. While
the ball was given at the navy yard
and under the auspices of the Charles
ton yard officers, it was a city function,
and necessarily the attendance
was largo, taring to some extent tho
capacity of the big building which Is
used for this purpose at the government
plant. As usual the building
was converted from a work shop into
a magnificent ball room in which
tho electrical effects proved a feature.
The music and supper were in
keeping with the splendid atraction.
The Dlggest Clay was inurauay,
when with stirring martial music by
many bands, flags flying, the glitter
of the gold and brass of the uniforms
and acoutrements of many commands
made to show in sharper contrast
with the loss showy service dress, the
largest and most spectacular military
pararde which has ver marched the
streets of Charleston marked the
great land and naval parade, one of
the special features of Fleet-Fair j
week. In the parade werem-etetaoii
ed the entire fighting force of the nation,
in tho battalion of four companies
of the United States artillery
corpfc, the marine and blue jackets
from the three divisions of the Atlan-!
tic fleet, two regiments of national
guard of South Carolina, throo divisions
of the South Carolina battalion
of the naval militia and tho reserved
military commands of tho city
pf Charleston, making up a splendid!
military pageant which was reviewed
by the ranking officers of the navy,
Mayor Grace and other specially
Invited people of distinction at Marlon
Square, as the procession moved
UP King street.
It was a great parade. Nothing like
It has ever been seen in Charleston,
and thousand? of people linod tho
route of march, assembling an hour
before the time of passing of the
troops in seeking vantage j>ositloii
to see the procession. It was an en-l
thusiaatic crowd which saw the soloessiop

L I- .. J
diors arid tho Beatnen mnrcn u> mm
frequently along the route, the pent
up admiration of the crowd gave vent
to Its enthusiasm with loud applause,
drowning the stirring music and the
steady tread of the soldiers as they
moved with precision through tho
crowded streets.
It would seem a difficult, task to
marshal Into marching order more
than 7,000 men, hut to tho military
men, It was a comparatively easy
task. The various organizations
wore assigned positions In advance of
the time fixed for the parade to move
off and when Brig. Hon. Wylie Jones
ordered "Forward, March," tho whole
procession moved as one man, with
the organizations turning into position
and following the marching order
at proscribed places.
The landing of the several thousand
men from the ships for participation
in tho parade was of itself an
interesting sight and gave to those
who observed the operation an insight
Into the readiness with which
large numbers of men can he landed
from naval vessels. The vessels put
out several launches with big tows
and hundreds of men were moved
from each ship in a few minutes The
officers came with the men and as
quickly as the boat loads were landed
lit nier 11, tho men formed In march
frig order and moved off to their
place of asemblv on oast Battery.
Bear Admiral Wlnslow, who had
boon tendered the command of the
whole parade, as grand marshal, preferred
to command simply the naval
brigade, with MaJ. Catlln In command
Of the marine regiment. A company
of marines were furnished by each
fthtp to this regiment.
There was no Bhortnpe of music
With the many hands which were In
Ifne. starting with the United States
artillery hand, two National Guard
hands, four naval bands, the naval
ptflftia band and the band of the ca?

Clark Will Align Himself with Men
Who Have Fought Hryau Because ^
of Ills Action at Baltimore.
A Washington dispatch says Democratic
leaders admit that there is
bound to be a fight between the Bryan
and anti-Bryan men in Washington
early in the Wilson administration.
They are fearful it will interfere
in the party's legislative program,
and probably involve President
Wilson. The certainty of trouble
among the Democratic uational leaders
has bepn emphasized Rlnce the arrival
in Washington of Speaker Clark
and William J. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan has made It plain to his
* 11 * 4 ' * lo lila nn rtmca f r\
roiloworu uitn it id mo t,i. . ,v,
take a lively Interest in the legislative
program and to make certain,
so far as It Is possible for him to do,
hat the party lives up to the pledges
of the Baltimore platform.
On tho other hand friends of
Speaker Clark and Leader Underwood
have caused it to be made
known that the Democratic party in
the house is competent to manage its
own affairs without the assistance or
advice of Mr. Bryan. Democratic
loaders have felt it in their bones ever
since tho election of Governor Wilson
that Mr. Bryan would follow a
course that would compel the new
president to take sides either with or
against the Nebraskan.
Speaker Clark, embittered by Bryan's
opposition to his presidential
candidacy at Baltimore, will, it is
known, in tho future alien himself in
the house with men who have fought
Bryan for years. Just how President
Wilson will be able to steer clear or
the factionalism in his nartv is a matter
of conjecture at Washington.
Many public men at Washington.
Republicans as well as Democrats,
believe that when Governor Wilson
gets in tho White House ho will find
himself in much the same situation
that confronted President Taft, when
he succeeded Colonel Roosevelt. Mr.
Taft owed his nomination to Colonel
Roosevelt, and as events have since
shown, Mr. Roosevelt expected to be
consulted by his successor.
In selecting bis cabinet Mr. Taft
picked a number of men who were
regarded by Colonel Roosevelt nnd
bis friends as "reactionaries." The
dissatisfaction developed at once, and

At Gaffney 'Madge Lavender, the
little 3-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. D. R. Lavender, hay been at the
point of death for two days as a result
of oating jimson weed. Wednesday
morning the little girl was
out in the yard, about 11 o'clock,
with several companions and a short
timo later she was suddenly seized
with the illness. At 3 o'clock she became
unconscious. Dr. J N. Nesbiti
was hurriedly summoned and worked
all night long over the little girl.
Thursday afternoon she partially regained
consciousness and the physician
states that in all probability she
will recover unless some complications
set in.
Mr. Lavender, who makes his home
in Newberry, was telephoned of the
serious nature of the little girl's illness
and arrived in the city Thursday

HITS TURKEY HARD
SERVIANS CAPTURE M UN ASTIR
WITH GARRISON
iVRECKS TURKS HOPES
^ni<l to lw the Most Important Victory
Vet (iained Over the Turkish
Army, As it Wrecks Its Hopes of
{Successful KesistaJice Against the
Victorious Allies.
A cable dispatch from London says
ny Idea that the Turkish governnent
may have had of benefitting by
ontinued resistance in the Turkishdalkan
war must be shattered by
vlonday's news of the fall of MonasAr.
In the capture of that important
own the Servians took, three pashas,
Deluding tiie couiniander-in-chief,
i^ethi Pasha, 50,000 men thus achieving
the greatest individual success ol
lie war.
Monastir was the second city of
mportance in European Turkey. It
was Turkey's stronghold in Macedonia,
and by its downfall Macedonia
> n cm /\ n nmn nl aIhI ir 11 r\ ?? 11 ? lr ( ri It
|;aop^t> w u l \ji i ui iviou
liaiuls.
What parts the Greeks played In
he capture has not yet been ascertained.
It is known that the Greek
irmy was marching to the assistance
of the Servians and it is supposed
that the Greeks were able to cut off
the Turkish retreat towards the
south.
The Servians naturally could be
elated at this victory, which outshines
the capture of Salonki and
.mist have a great moral effect on the
future course of the war.
Another of the strange silences
which have been characteristic of
:his war appears to have fallen over
Constantinople, from which city
brief dispatches have been received
telling of the resumption of the Tchatalja
battle and that the sultan has
made a fresh personal appeal to the
European sovereigns to Intervene for
the termination of the war. Quite as
little may be expected to come of this
appeal as of the previous attempt at
mediation by the powers.
With cholera and typhus raging
within her demoralized army and a
powerful enemy hammering at the
gates of the capital, Turkey must
again appeal to the allies for terms.
Undoubtedly the object of the commanders
in ordering the attack on
Tchatalja lineR was to compel this
course. It seems Incredible that Bulgaria
for the mere glory or triumphal
entry into a city she does not
desire to possess should wish to take
her army into disease infested zones.
Turkish reports, even the official
dispatches, of the operations have
been so unreliable throughout that
little attention can be paid to the
statements regarding the Tchatal'a
battle issued at Constanstinople Sunday
and Monday. The operations
probably was little more than an ar'illery
exchange, which all armies use
locating his batteries.
As the effect of the victory at Monastir
will be to stiffen the Servian
government in resisting Austrian pretensions
the consular troubles at
Prisrend and Mitrovitza are breeding
a dangerous spirit of ill feeling between
Austria and Servia, which i9
little calculated to favor diplomatic
negotiations. The newspapers of
both capitals reflect this feeling.
No news has yet reached Vienna
of the Austrian consul at Prisrend.
The Servian government has declined
to comply with Austria's request to
allow an Austrian representative to
go to Prisrend to make inquiries, and
piactically ignores Austria's protests.
The Austro-Servian question is less
disquieting except for the attitude of
the press on cither side and for the
action of the Servians in intercepting
the reports of the Austrian consuls
in Albania. Acting on the recommendation
of her ally. Paly, Austria
is said to have modified her demands
and no longer objects to the
construction of a railway from the
Danube to the Adriatic sea.
On the other hand Great Britain
Russia and France are counselling
moderation to Servia. The latter
siill talks of taking one or more ports i
on the Adriatic but doubtless in tin '

ARM OF SHEEP SLEG
\
rtONDEUFl L OPERATION OF A
NEW YORK SURGEON.
?
He Took a Sheep's Leg and Made
Neve Ariu for a Man Who Had
Lost One of His.
A New York dispatch says at the
Harlem Hospital there is a patient -4
who has a new arm made from a
sheep's leg. This sounds remarkable
even in this age of medical marvel.
It is one of the wonders performed
before the delegates of the Clinical
Congress which as been in session
there for the past week. The operation
was performed by Dr. Walter
Ambrlckner.
Just why a sheep's leg was chosen
for substitution in the place of a
decayed bone in the man's arm map
not be clear to the layman, but It Is
to the surgeons. The leg bone of a
Bheep they say has the right knitting
tissues and flexibility and in format
tion lends itself to replacement in tha
human arm.
The leg was amputated from the
sheep early Thursday morning, remained
in a solution twenty hours after
being scraped and was carefully
treated before long being ready to bocoine
part of the human frame.
Every particle of the decayed bono
in the patient's arm was carefully
cut away, leaving a gap into which
the sheep's bone was dove-tailed,
then fastened with sterilized wirenails.
The fleshy portion of tho nrm,
which was sliced open, will ho kept
so for two or three davs, until there
is no doubt of the bones knitting
properly. Then the slit will be sewed
up and in a couplo of weeks Mr.
Patient will have an arm as good as
new.
There was exhibited at the Harlem
hospital a most remarkable case
of surgery. The patient was a woman
who had fallen four floors
down a circular stairway and crushed
her face beyond all recognition,
fracturing many hones. I)r. II. J.
sauffer. a surgeon-dentist, reset the
broken bones and wired the jaws
together and today thejiatient hasn't
a blemish on her face.
Dr. Kauffer, who is a consulting
surgeon at the hospital, also gave a
demonstration of wiring broken jaw
bones. He exhibited one patient who
had just broken his jaw, but could
eat without any trouble, whatever.

Woodrow Wilson looked over hi*
mail Monday and found that people

"Prof. Wilson" for his term university
connection then were "His Rxcellency,
President Wilson," an i "Ti?
Rxcellency, Gov. Wilson". Last, but
best liked of all by him, was plain
"Mr. Woodrow Wilson".
"I would rather he called 'Mr. Wilson'
than anything else," be said;
"'President-elect' is too awuwnrd a
mouthful. I wisii my friends would
use 'Mister* in addressing me".
