Do Your Duty.
“Enffiand expects every man to do ids
-duty,” said Nelson at Trafalgar, and “duty
performed is tho subliinest achievement.”
said R. E. Lee. Then why not insure your
property in the Cherokee Mutual Fire In
surance Company and lie happy, freeing
yourself from anxiety as to the effect a loss
of your iiouse would curtail on yourself and
family also.
This is the cheapest insurance known
among men and your money kept at home.
Instead of swelling tlie Coffers of Northern
Co-operations b. In■ used for enslaving the
many for the benefit of the few in the Gigan
tic Trusts which seek to control the staple
necessities of life, or is loaned to the despots
of Europe to bind the shackles of slavery
tighter upon the linihs of their helpless sub
jects. If you feel It your duty to insure, this
company asks that you consider the claims
It has upon you.

G3AND CARNIVAL OF
KNIGHTSOI^ PYTHIAS
Thousands of Visitors Flock-
ing to ’Frisco.
ELABORATE ARE DECORATIONS.
1 hese Have Been Carried Out on a
Scale Never Before Attempted In
the City—Grand Court of Honor
Striking Feature of Display.
San Francisco, Auj. 11.—The grand
carnival of the Knights of Pythias
opened today, although the official
business of the order will not receive
attention until tomorrow. Thousands
of visitors already have arrived from
the east and by Wednesday morning
it is expected that from 50,000 to 75,-
GOO strangers will be in the city.
The decoration of the city has been
carried out on a scale never attempted
before.
Tonight Market street will be cov
eted by a canopy of glowing electric
bulbs. The grand court of honor at
the intersection of Market, feearney,
Geary and Third streets is life most
striking feature of the display. For
some distance along the curbs at either
side of. the crossing, there have been
placed 27 tall, white columns outlined
w.„j frosted lamps and loops of frosted
rlamps intei linking them. In the cen
ter of the crossing and 150 feet above
the street has been hung a disc 25
feet in diameter. The inside of '.he
disc is studded with 500 incandescent
electric lights in the colors of the or
der—red, yellow and blue—one string
Si.owing the Knights of Pythias’ shield
surrounded by red lamps. From the
disc have been stretched in every di
rection loops 250 feet in length of
clear lamps, supporting six festoons
with 1G lights each, altogether about
9,5(10 lamps. This elaborate affair
is only one feature of the great plan of
decoration.
The Mechanics’ pavilion, which will
be the headcuaF'^s of the knights,
hag been aimost transformed inlo a
military camp, with many tents and
thousands of cots in perfect order,
ranged in line. The headquarters ef
Major Geneial It. Carnahan, who is in
command of the uniformed forces, is
the most picturesque place in the pa
vilion. The general’s tent is flanked
by palms and potted plants. Old
Glory flying from the flag staff and a
sentinel marching up and down be
fore the entrance give a realistic as
pect.
The program for today began at
12:30 p. m., with the opening of an
exhibition of county products at which
the address of welcome was delivered.
The response was by Ogden H. Feth-
ers. supreme chancellor Knights of
Pythias, and Major General James R.
Carnahan also spoke.
HE SAW STRANGE SIGHTS.
Captain Nye Tells of Wonders of Ga
lapagos Island.
San Francisco. Aug. 11.—Captain
Richard Nye, who was one of those
on the steamer W. S. Phelps, tells oi
many wonders of Galapagos islands,
which that vessel recently visited. In
an interview he said:
“The islands are full of minerals as
shad is of hones. On Albemarle
there is an extinct crater, miles in di
ameter. in which there is in sight 40,-
000 tons of pure sulphur. The crater
is about 10 miles inland, and a tramy*
way will be necessary for transporta
tion to the coast, but this should be a
small matter, considering the possi
ble profit.
“One of the queer things Albemarle
island is that it is overrun with wild
dogs. The animals are mongrel
breed and were left on the island by
whalers. The dogs have become wild
and are extremely vicious. They are
wolf-l'ke in their habits and run in
droves.”
Captain Nye also tells of a remark-
able lake on the island of Chatham at
an elevation of 3,000 feet above the
sea level. This lake, according to
the captain, rises and falls with the
tide, and no sounding line has ever
reached its bottom. Many relics of
an ancient race were found.
WOMAN AT THE WHEEL.
Granted License to Pilot Steamer on
Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.
Louisville, Ky., Aug. 11.—Mrs. John
Golden, of Jeffersonville, Ind., has
been granted a license to pilot steam
ers on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers,
and today she will start on ner first
trip as a licensed officer. She will be
at the wheel of her husband’s steam
er, the Shawnee, which goes south
with a large store boat, the Mount
Vernon, in tow.
Mrs. Golden has devoted much of
her time to the river, and has tmv-
ersed the various waterways of the
south with Captain Golden,
Prince Chen Visits Roosevelt
New York, Aug. 11.—Prince Chen,
accompanied by Assistant Secretary
of State Peirce, Wu Tin* Fang, the
Chinese minister to the United States,
Sir Liang Chen Tung, the new min
ister, and the secretaries to the prince
and Mr. Wu went to Oyster Bay to
day to visit President Roosevelt at
Sagamore Hill. The party were driv
en to the East Trinity street pier,
wher# they boarded the gunboat Sylph
shortly after 9 a. m., and the vessel
sailed a few minutes later.
BY WAD'S BED HAND
HAITI IS HABHASSED
Petit Goave Captured By Gov
ernment Troops.
TOWN FIRED BY FIRMINISTS.
It Was Entirely Destroyed, i here Be
ing Nothing Left but a Pile of Ruins.
Four Thousand Persons Are Home
less—Many Killed In Battle.
Washington, Aug. 11.—Minister
Powell has cabled the state depart
ment from Cape Haitieh that the pro
visional (Vasquez) government of Hai
ti, has notified the United States c-
gation that. Conaives, Port de Paix,
i ciit Goave and Saint Marie provinces
are in rebellion. The government
troops captured Petit Goave after a
strong resistance, in which many lives
were lost. Firmin’s Loops, in re
treating from the place, set fire to and
destroyed the town.
Port-au Prince, Haiti, Aug. 11.—The
correspondent of The Associated Press
visited Petite Goave yesterday and
found that the town had been entire
ly destroyed, there being nothing left
but a pile of ruins.
About 4.000 persons are homeless
and are greatly in need. Many of
them have sought shelter in the Sim-
monds factories near the town. The
French cruiser D’Assis arrived at Pe
tit Goave yesterday with provisions
for the sufferers and returned to Port
au-Prince with 200 women and chil
dren and 115 wounded men. The au
thorities refused to permit the Fir-
minists to leave, fearing they would
go to other points to take up arms
again. Each party accuses the other
of having set fire to Petit Goave, but
the general belief is that General Chi-
coye, the Firminist commander, re
solved to destroy the town when he
saw he could not hold it against the
Fouchardists.
A Port-au-Prince dispatch on Satur
day last gave news of the burning of
Petit Goave after an attack had been
made on the place by Fouchardists. Ac
cording to that dispatch General Chi-
coye, who is minister of the interior
in the Firminist provincial govern
ment, set fire to the town and aban
doned it.
Rebels Establish Blockade.
Washington. Aug. 11.—Commander
McCrea. of the gunboat Machias, to
day cabled the naval department that
a de facto blockade had been estab
lished by the Insurgents at Cape Hai-
tlen. The Machias is at her anchor
age.
UPRISING AT PORTO CABELLO.
United States and Germany Land Na
val Forces.
Washington. Aug. 11.—Minister
Bowen at Caracas today advised the
state department that the Germans
intend to land a naval force at Porto
Cabello to protect German interests
there which arc threatened by the up
rising now in progress. The min
ister advised that we follow suit.
After a conference between the of
ficials of the state and navy depart
ments. instructions were cabled to Com.
mander Nichols, of the Topeka, to pro
ceed from I^aGuaira to Porto Cabel
lo and land a naval force in case of
attack. The Topeka already has left
for Porto Cabello.
SHEEPHERDERS ATTACK TOWN.
Crowd of Mexicans Swoop Down on
Battle, Wyo.
Battle, Wyo., Aug. 11.—A crowd of
Mexican sheepherders attempted to
take the town of Battle, with the re
sult that two of them were killed. Sev
eral made their escape into the woods,
one man being shot in the leg. One
citizen was hit on the heel, and Miss
Estell Landers, a resident, was severe
ly in the face by a window pane
broken by a stray shot.
Every man in town is armed, fearing
the Mexican* will swoop down upon
the town, as there are scores of them
in this vicinity. The attack was ’n
retaliation for the slaughter of 5,000
sheep by the townspeople, who had
ordered the sheepmen to keep away,
as this territory is reserved for the
cattlemen.
Delivery Bool: Saved His Life.
Richmond. Va., Aug. 11.—Paul Jones,
a Western Union messenger, owes his
life to his delivery book. While riding
through Jackson ward a negro told
him to "Heel It!" and a pistol ball
came whizzing after him. He was
amazed when he alighted to deliver
the message to find that the ball had
passed through his co*t, the hooka and
the message, but had not entered the
body.
Colombian Gunboat Missing.
*>ew York, Aug. 11.—Cabling from
Panama, the correspondent of The
Herald says the Colombian gunboat
Boyaca, which left here July £9, with
300 soldiers, to reinforce General Ber-
tl at Agua Dulce, is stlTl missing. In
coming vessels have seen nothing of
her. The dispatch Is dated Sunday.
Seismic Jars In Corfu.
New York, Aug. 11.—A special ca
ble dispatch to The Herald from Cor
fu says two earthquake shocks occur
red there at 4:55 o’clock Sunday mofifc-
Ing, but no damage was done.
PLAN BY WHICH GOAL
STRIKE im BE ENDED
Has Been’ Referred to Presi
dent Roosevelt.
I..GHT OF EMINENT DOMAIN
Government Can Seize and Operate
Certain Mines For Its Own Use,
Thus Forcing Operators to Resume
Work In All Mines.
New York, Aug. 11.—President
Roosevelt has in his hands, according
to The World, a plan submitted by
Martin Dolphin, former president of
the International Order of Railroad
and Commercial Telegraphers, by
which, Mr. Dolphin thinks, the strike
in the anthiacite coal fields could be
ended. President Roosevelt referred
the proposition to the attorney gener
al’s department, and it is now being
considered by H. M. Hoyt, acting at
torney general.
This plan is to have the government
exercise the right of eminent domain
and seize a certain number of mines
and operate them for the purpose of
taking out all the hard coal required
by the government in its various build
ings, on the ships of the navy depart
ment and for all other governmental
purposes.
The right of the government to in
tervene in a strike which interferes in
any way with governmental functions
was proved, Mr. Dolphin contends, by
President Cleveland’s action in the
Chicago strike of 1893, when he order
ed out United States troops to keep
the strikers from interfering with the
transportation of the mails.
In the present case intervention of
the kind he advocates, Mr. Dolphin
says, would also break the backbone
of the strike by forcing the operators
to resume work in all the mines.
DEATH OF SEN. McMILLAN.
Expires Suddenly at His Summer
Home in Massachusetts.
Washigton, Aug. 11.—A dispatch
i as been received here announcing
the death of Senator James McMillan,
of Michigan, at his summer home at
Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass. Death
was the result of heart failure follow
ing congestion, after an illness of a
very few hours.
The news came as a great shock to
his friends here, as when the senator
left Washington shortly after the ad
journment of congress he appeared to
he in good health and looked forward
with much satisfaction to a quiet and
restful summer. For some years Sen
ator McMillan has made his summer
home at Manchester-by-the-Sea, hav
ing erected a very fine cottage there.
While no information on that point
has been received here, the expecta
tion is that his remains will be taken
to Detroit, and be deposited in the
family vault at Elmwood cemetery.
The body of his son. Captain John
H. McMillan, who served in the Span
ish war, and who died several months
ago, rests there. The senator leaves
a widow, three sons. W. C., Philip and
Frank, all of Detroit, and a daughter.
Senator McMillan was a native of
Ontario, having been born in Hamilton
May 12, 1838, but in early life re
moved to Michigan and for many years
had been prominently indentified with
the business interests and political life
of that state.
