The ground had not re ceived such a soaking in months, and although the storm served to make outdoor life otherwise than agreeable no kicks were heard on account of the weather. ^^SJotnen Satin skin and powder for youth keepers. 25c. Mel s crelm AMUSEMEjyXS. T~ Cole Brothers Circus, Aug* 5. When Cole Brothers World Famed Shows come to Augusta on Wednesday, Aug 5, they will bring wfth them the only herd of Asiatic working ele phants ever seen in this country. This wonderful herd of pachyderms, were se cured by the Cole Brothers during the world girdling tour of the show and are known as lumber working ele phants. That is, they are elephants that work in the immense lumber dis tricts of Asia. What they have been taught to do in their own country coupled to the finishing touches that have been put to their education here makes them unquestionably the most valuable herd of elephants in the world. Recently a writer in describing these marvelous elephants had this to say of them: “Razy and clumsy-looklng as the elepnant appears in our menageries, where it is merely an object of curios ity, in Asia it is as useful an animal as the horse, and is, indeed, employed in a great variety of ways. There are few, if any, tasks which a horse can be trusted to perform without careful and constant guidance; whereas the ele phant is frequently given as much in dependence of action as a man would have for the same work. This is nota bly tiie case in the lumber yards of Rangoon and Mouimein, where the en tire operation of moving and piling the heavy timber is performed by male ele phants without any special supervision by the keepers. The logs to he moved are teakwood, which is very heavy. They are cut into lengths of 29 feet, with a diameter, or perhaps a square, of about a foot. An elephant will go to a log, kneel down, thrust his tusks under the middle of it, curl his trunk over it, test it to see if it is evenly bal anced, and then rise with it and easily carry it to the pile that is being made. i-Maeing tiie log carefully on the pile in its proper place, the sagacious animal will step back a few paces and measure witn his eye to determine whether or not the log needs pushing one way or another. It will then make any neces sary alterations of positions. In this way, without any word or command from its mahout, or driver, it will go on with its work. To do any special task it must, of course, be directed by the mahout, but it is marvelous to see how readily this great creature com prehends its instructions, and how ingeniously it makes use ,of its strength. If a log too heavy to be car ried is to be moved a short dis tance, the elephant will bend low, place his great head against the end of the log, and then, with a sudden exertion of strength and weight, throw his body forward, and fairly push the log along; or, to move the log any great distance, he will encircle it with a chain and drag his load behind him. As a rule, however, the work of dragging is done by the female elephants, since, having no tusks, they cannot carry logs as the male elephants do. A man could hard ly display more judgment in the ad justment of the rope or chain round a log, nor could a man with his two hands lie and untie knots more skil fully than do these elephants with their trunks.” Island Park Theater.

According to an observing coin col lector, superstituous persons who believe in the •“thirteen' hoodoo should have nothing to do with a quarter-doliar, for the unlucky thirteen is much in evidence on the coin of that denomination. He has noted that on the face of the coin there are thirteen stars, and if it happens to hear the date 190,1 those figures total thirteen. On the reverse side there are thirteen stars above the eagle, thirteen letters in the words “E Phuibus Uniim," which appear on the scroll held in the eagle's beak; thirteen horizontal hats on the shield, thirteen arrowheads held in one claw, while the branch held in the other claw has just-thirteen leaves, ami the letters of the nanm "quarter-dollar-" at the bottom count rip thirteen. There Is more Catarrh In.this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years doctors pronounced It a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by con stantly falling to cure with local treat ment, pronounced It Incurable.

NEW TRIAL ORDERED FOR STANDARD OIL Court of Appeals Sets Aside Famous Verdict by Which the Company Was Find $29,240,000. CNragc., July 22.—Following the unanimous decision today of Judges tlrosscup, Seaman and Baker, com posing tit*1 United States circuit court of appeals, reversing and remanding the case of the government against the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, in which case Judge Landis in the district court had imposed a line of $29,240,000, the federal attorneys today announced that the government had 20 days with in which to lile a petition for a re hearing and that it would be filed within the allotted period. In tile case that was reversed today, the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana was found guilty of accepting rebates on shipments of oil from its refinery at Whiting, Inch, to Hast St. Louis, 111. Judge Landis fined the company $20,000 on each of the 1462 counts, each count representing a carload shipment. Today’s opinion of three judges of the higher court leaves little of the contention that each carload counted ti seperate offence. Even the various shipments, of which there were about r.oo, could not l.e considered as separate offences under the- ruling of the court of appeals. The fine should have been based on settlements between tile rail rand and the Oil Co. the opinion holds. these there were just 3(1. The max imum tine on this basis would amount to $720,000 and the minimum $311,000. It is said that $223,000 is the total aount which tln> Standard Oil Co. is alleged to have received as rebates on the shipments in question. in the event that a hearing is denied tlie government may go to trial on the original indictment, containing 1402 counts. Such an action. District Attor ney Sims could lie ready to take with in two weeks. There arc' also seven other indietiiHMits, containing 4422 counts. As a vast amount of work lias been done on the case already de cided and reversed, it is unlikely that an entirely new case will lie instituted. The record of the present case con tains over 1,000,0(10 words and is esti mated to have cost the government $200,000. Another move which may be made by the federal attorneys is to transfer tlie jifoseetiti. Tin* most striking portion of the decision, epitomizing the attitude of the court, follows; “Oounsel /or the government says in concluding their brief that the Klkins ii»t was passed because the peace of noddy and the welfare of the people demanded it; that railroad inequity means business ruin to all except those powerful enough to make themselves the bonetJciaries of the discrimination; means the wiping out of an industry of a town or a city at the command of an officer of a private corporation; that railroad inequity is the basis of monopoly and the wrongful concentra tion of wealth; that no law of more vital importance was ever passed by Congress and that those guilty of vio lating are guilty of a serious crime against the principles of industrial freedom and equality. “Kvcry sentence* of ibis arraignment is true. That tills romt recognizes the im portance of the enforcement of that act is shown in its affirmance of penalties that under other circumstances would he regarded as very Revere. Hut the inter state commerce act, important as that law is, Is not the only law under which we live. We live under a guaranty that reaches hack to the beginning of our law. and Is securely planted in every constitu tion of civilized government, that no one shall he punished until he has lieen tried and above this fundamental guaranty there can he sot no higher prerogative; for let it once come to pass that under the stress of enforced equality any power in the government may -override the fund amental rights of being judged only after having been duly tried—a right just as essential in the associated relation of tin* corporation as to men in the relationship of co-partnership or to men individually, there will remain no commerce worth the name to safeguard. The beginning of commerce Is constitutional government, and the foundation of constitutional gov ernment is the faith that every guarant of our institutions, no matter what the provocation, will he sacredly observed." The court room was crowded with law yers and newspaper men when Judges Grosseup, linker and Seaman took their seats. Judge Onosscup did not read the document, merely referring to it by num ber and stating that the case had been reversed and remanded. There was great jubilation among the Standard Oil law yers. who declared that the decision had been expected, while the govenonent at torneys went quietly to District Attorney Sims’ office to study the document. The whole proceedings occupied only a few moments. News of the verdict spread rapidly and Standard Oil stock jumped 14 points, a rise of 68 points since Monday morning. Wall street reported n largo demand among investors, and today's price, $604, is the highest the shares have sold since Judge Landis* decision District Attorney Sims tonight said that no definite program concerning the future procedure in the case had yet been mapped out by himself and v bis associates. “It is possible that we may petition for a re-hearing before the court of appeals within the HO days allowed us." he said, “but 1 can make no positive statement until after I have conferred with Attorney General Bonaparte.’* Chicago. July 22.—By unanimous opinion of the United States court of appeals for ttwfrteh *ttfcirict the famous i case of the government against the] Standard Oil Co., in which the latter was fined $29,240,000 by Judge Landis in the district court, must be re-tried. The court of appeals differs with the trial court on three vital points, hold ing that Judge Landis excluded evi dence for the Standard Oil Co. of In diana, which should have been admit ted to show proper intent in the rate the company paid on oil; that he erred in considering each car lot a separate offense and that in imposing tne max imum fine for a first offense he abused the discretion vested in his court, it is strange doctrine, says the opinion, wrerf Indiana—may be fined 29 nine times the amount of its capital stock in order to punish a defendant not even under indictment. By this letter is meant the parent company, the Standard Oil Co. if New Jersey. This opinion, concurred in by Judges Baket and Seaman was delivered here today by Judge Grosscup, who wrote the opinion. The concluding sentence ot the opinion reads: “The judgment of the district court is reversed and the case remanded with instructions to grant a new trial and proceed further in accordance with this opinion.” The opinion begins with a brief state ment of the manner in which the case was brought from the district court to the court of appeals. Section G of the interstate commerce act relating to the publishing and filing of rales is quoted and the opinion continues: "There are 1G9 assignments of error, taking up G7 pages of printed record, in view of the conclusion, however, to which we have come it is unnecessary to review many of these assignments— the ones reviewed covering all the propositions of law that we deem es sential to the guidance of tip* district court in the event of a second trial. 1’ompreliensively stated, the assign ments of error which we shall review, relate: r irsi—10 lilt' view auupit'u uy mo trial court curried nut in its rulings on the admission and exclusion of evidence and embodied in its charge to tlie jury that a shipper can be convicted of ae cepting a. concession from the lawful published rate, even though it is not shown as bearing on the matter of intent, that the shipper at the time of accepting such concession, knew what the lawful published rate actually was. “Second to tla* view adopted by the trial court that the number of offenses is (lie number of carloads of property transported, irrespective of whether each carload, the whole or the part only of a single transaction resulting in a shipment and “Third—whether in the imposition of the line named the trial court abused tliu discretion vested in the court. “We shall take up these subjects in the order stated, the first being wheth er tlie shipper can, without error, be convicted of accepting a concession from a lawful published rate, even though it is not shown as hearing on the matter of intent, that tile shipper at the time of accepting such conces sion, knew what the lawful published rate actually was—a niew of the law that is embodied in the charge and carried out in the ruling excluding cer tain pr >f11 ease. Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte said today: “As yet I am not informed as to the ground of tiie decision, and until I am, I can have little to say about it. There is one feature of tiie case, however, to which public attention can lie and should be called at once. A suit of such importance certainly ought to be submitted for final decision to the su preme court of tiie United States. But since the court of appeals has decided, tills cannot now bo done. There is no good reason of justice or public policy why there should not be an appeal from this decision by the United States. But the statutes permit none, although the Congress lias been repeatedly urged by successive attorney generals to enact a more comprehensive law permitting appeals by the government in criminal cases. as i said in my last annual report, I think this gives an unreasonable and unfair advantage to the wealthy de fendants in such eases, and I hope the defeet in the law will be remedied at the next session of Congress.” On being asked if the ease would again be tried he replied: “I shall be much surprised if it isn't, but I really cannot discuss the matter fruitfully until I have seen the opinion." Washington. July 22.—Solicitor fion eral Hoyt, who is acting attorney gen eral in th(> absence of Mr. Konaparte, when informed of the decision of the circuit court of appeals in the case of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, said it could not be determined until the full text of the decision had been re ceived, whether the department of justice would seek to have the decision of the circuit court of appeals review ed on a writ of certiorari by the su preme court of the United States at this stage, or would press for a new trial promptly. One course or the other, Mr. Hoyt said would be taken as promptly as possible. MR. ROCKEFELLER £Jot at Home, But He Doubtless is Very Much Pleased. Cleveland, Ohio.

Robert Hunter Calls Attention to Trickery In Democratic Platform. Now York, July 22.—Robert Hunter, die parlor Socialist, said last night: ‘•The Democratic anti-injunction plank is a direct evasion and an in famous attempt to delude labor, but I have confidence enougti in the intelli gence of labor to believe a vain at tempt to betray labor. "An anti-injunction plank was de manded. A pro-injunction was obtain ed. Mr. Gompers says he is cotent; that he does not ask the abolition of injunctions. He only wants them to Lie used against labor in the same way they are used against others. “Well, here is an injunction that was not use 1 against labor. A gentleman in Texas asked a judge to enjoin an other man from alienating the affec tions of his wife. The injunction was granted. It commanded the intruder neither to communicate with nor to speak to the wife, nor to go near her house, nor near any other house or place in the citv of Dallas or in the state of Texas, where this young woman happened to be. If a judge can Issue an injunction like this he can enjoin, as judges have done, the Brotherhood of Carpenters from not handling non-union material. He can dissolve unions as conspiracies. He can even enjoin a union from paying an eight-hour strike benefit. ‘‘Furthermore he can enjoin Samuel Rompers from writing editorials or from having a private conversation with the President of the United States." GENERAL OVERHAULING To Be Given the Lusitania and Maure tania Next Fall. New York, July 22—It is announced that both the big turbiners, the Lusi tania and Mauretania, will be laid off the last of October two months. During this rest they will be completely over hauled. The Mauretania, which for three voyages lias been running with only t hrv propellers, will ship a for ward port propeller on her dead shaft. It is not improbable that, like lie Lusi tania, slie will have four-bladed pro pellers subslituted on her forward tur bines for throe-bladed screws. These propellers are cast in one niece of manganese bronze. They tire arranged at a slightly different pitch from the t hree-bladed propellers. After the big fellows go into dry dock the semi-weekly service of the Cunard Line will lie discontinued for the remainder of the year, and only the weekly service, as formerly, main tained. By the time the semi-weekly service is resumed next spring, or by Jan. 1 next, it is intimated that the Cunard Line will have selected an English channel port for a terminal instead of Liverpool. The time made by the Lusitania on her last eastward trip was days and ,‘!7 minutes, and her average rate of speed 2I.;i2 miles an hour, an improve ment of 2 hours and It minutes, which is S2 minutes behind tlie record of the Mauretania, made at an average speed of 24.12 knots.

(Continued from Page One.) that we now have the polluted men brought to such a point that If Iri battle on a given ship, the commissioned ofll cera were to be killed, the enlisted men would he capable of bringing the fight to a victorious conclusion, and doing it all, fire control and everything. Captain Ful lani, T congratulate you. Admiral, I con gratulate. you.” Mrs. Roosevelt and other members of the President’s family and party did not come ashore until after the conference of the morning was concluded. With the President they were guests at luneheon at Rear Admiral and Mrs. Merrell’s quar. ters. All of the naval families in the vi cinity were invited to meet the Presi dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, and the func tion had at times the appearance of a gay lawn party. It was after 3 o’clock when the Pres ident and his party repaired aboard the Mayflower again for the return trip to Oyster Bay. The ships In the harbor again voiced the Presidential salute of 31 guns and the President's first partici pation in a Newport naval conference was at an end. The President said to the members ot the Naval College: “Admiral, Mr. Secretary, Gentlemen: There tire only a few things that I de sire to say today to the conference and what I have to say really is said less to the pincers present than to the great bulk of my fellow countrymen outside. I could not speak to you technically. I can speak to my fellow countrymen, who are deeply interested in the Amer ican navy, but who sometimes tend to he misled as to the kind of navy we should have and as to what the navy can and ought to do. “For instance, there are always a certain number of well meaning, amic able individuals, coupled with others not quite so well meaning, who like to tulk of having a navy merely- for defence, who advocate a coast defence navy. A purely defensive navy, a coast defence navy, would be almost worthless. “No light was ever won yet except by hitting, and the one unforgivable offence in any man is to hit soft. Don't 1)it at all if it can possibly be avoided, but if you do hit, hit as hard as you know how. That applies to the individ ual and it applies to the nation, and those who advocate a merely defensive navy, a mere coast defence navy, are advocating that we shall adopt as a national principle the principle of hit ting soft. I hope with all my heart that never will this nation of our hit unless it cannot possibly be helped. X belieee that the nation should do ev erything honorable at all times to avoid any trouble, that it should scru pulously refrain from wronging or in sulting another nation, that it should put up with a good deal in the way of misconduct on the part of others be fore going to war. Hut when this na tion does have to go to war, such war will only be excusable if the nation in tends to hammer its opponent until that opponent quits fighting. You can't hammer an opponent if you keep your fleet along the coast waiting until the opponent takes the initiative and ham mers you. “For flic protection of our coast lor tiflcations we need to have these for tifications not merely to protect the salient points of our possessions, but we need them so that the navy can be footless, and one of the reasons al leged why the licet should not be al lowed to go around the world was that to let it would leave New York defenceless in the event of war. The theory evidently was that the fleet or a portion of it would be used especial ly to protect New York and othei; chies in the event of war. If war comes at any time in the future, that administration under which it comes will indeed be guilty of folly if they use the fleet to protect any port. Let the port be protected by the fortifi cations, the fleet must be footless to search out and destroy the enemy’s fleet. “In any question of national policy, when statesmen, who are the people behind the political leaders, embark on any given policy, they build up for themselves a time of humiliation and disaster in the future if they do not orenare to make that policy effective. “We have taken the Philippines, hut if we had not taken them not a particle of difference would be made as regarding the needs of our naval policies. There has been a division among this people as to taking the Philippines. There has been no division on the Monroe Poet line, no division on building, maintaining, po licing and defending the Panama canal, no division alKiut Hawaii and Porto Ili co, no dhision about keeping Alaska, which, though on the continent, is just as much separated as if it was an island, no division about asserting our superior right to defend and protect Cuba. Not one of tlie courses of action thus out lined can he followed out excepting with n flrst-class navy. “The Monroe Doctrine until hacked hy a navy Is an empty boast and there exist but few more eontemptihle characters, in dividual or national, than the man or na tion who boasts, and when the boast Is challenged fails to make good. “If we have a coast defence navy only we bad better at once turn over the Pan ama canal to some stronger and braver nation which wouldn’t limit itself merely to a coast defence navy and could pro tect It. "I have spoken of our needing an effi cient navy because of our possessions that are separated from us hy water, because (f our advocacy of the Monroe Doctrine, because of our bring engaged in building the Isthmus canal. “But constituted ns this people Is, if we did not have a foreign possession, if wo abandoned the Monroe Doctrine, if wro handed over to some other power the Panama canal. It would still be necessary for us to have a navy and a strong fight ing navy. "We do not want any navy at all if it is not a first-class one, and surh a navy will he necessary for us just so long as we demand the right to administer our international affairs as we think best. ‘‘Ultimately, and, I think, at a not very far distant period, as this country grows it becomes more and more important that we should keep on the highest possible level the plan of living of our working man, for the chief end of a national poli cy in the country should he to keep on the highest level of prosperity the tiller of the social and the wage workers, for the prosperity of all other classes will follow their prosperity; therefore, gen tlemen, as it becomes more and more Im portant to keep that prosperity on a piRh level, It Is very possible that we .Shall have to cx'ert^e continually greatM- su pervislon, a continually greater exercise of tlie right of the rejection among Im mlgiants that come hither, and shall, aa regards It may be, many different peo ples. take an attitude that will tend at first to provoke friction with them. Now It Is our undoubted right to say whatj people, what persons, shall come to this country to live, to work, to become citi zens. It 1h equally undoubtedly our duty that that right shall be exercised In a way that will be provocative of the least and not of the most friction with out-; aiders. ••\Ve have the light to choose who shall come here from abroad. It is our duty to exercise that light so that it will cause the minimum offence to any other friendly power, so that it will cause the minimum of friction and will he accom panied by the greatest good will and friendship and evidences of grind will and friendship or. our part towaid other pow ers. Hut it Is absolutely necessary that if wo claim for ourselves the light to choose who shall route here, we shall be In trim to uphold that right if any power! challenges it, and it cannot he upheld by words,.it cannot be upheld by a coast de fence navy, by a navy that will parry' but Hint won’t hit. It can he upheld only by the possession of an efficient fighting navy, a navy able to preserve the honor and the interest of tiie United States, not by inviting attack on our shores and then seeing if we can not repel, but by taking such action as shall guarantee us against our shores being attacked. “At the present day the Monroe Doc trine is unchallenged and the people abroad who used to sneer at it now say it is a pretty good doctrine after all, a useful doctrine on the whole for the peace of the world. What has produced that change? Words? Not a hit of it. Di plomacy? Only insofar as diplomacy rested on the substantial basis of poten tial force. Tlie voyage of the lu battle ships around Sorth America through the Straits of Magellan from Hampton Roads to Puget Sound, that was the most in structive object lesson that had ever been afforded as to the reality of tlie Monroe Doctrine. “Now, gentlemen, the possibilities of misapprehension, of misconstruction of that on says, are infinite, especially when they are accompanied with something of design. T wish to reiterate, and to say with just as much earnestness as I have spoken today on other subjects, that I want a first-class fighting navy because it is the most favorable guarantee of peace that the country can have. Uncle Sam can well afford to pay for his peace and safety so cheap an insurance policy as is implied In the maintenance of tlie United States navy. There is not a more paying investment that he makes. “I would not pretend for a moment, gentlemen, to you or anyone else, that merely military proficiency on land or sea would by itself make this or any oilier nation great. Our duties at home are of first importance, but our duties aboard are of vital consequence also. This na tion may fall, no matter bow well it keeps Itself prepared against the possibility of disaster from abroad. Rut it will cer tainly fail if we do not thus keep our selves prepared. And I nsl; our people to take the keenest and most intelligent in terest in tlie affairs of the navy and to watch closely those at. Washington. In tlie executive department and in tlie leg islative department as well, we are con cerned w ith the affairs of the navy, be cause as a nation we need greatly, in tlie interest of peace, in tlie interest of true national greatness, that the United States navy, with Its ships, its officers, its en listed men. shall every point lie kept the highest possible condition of etfieieney and well being." CASTRO STILL AGGRESSIVE. This Time He Expells Minister Reus of The Netherlands from Venezuela. Caracas, Venezuela, Tuesday, July 21. via Port of Spain, July 22.—Presi dent Castro has expelled J. H. Do Deus, the minister resident of The Nether lands from Venezuela.

Conse quently he sends you your passports that you may leave Venezuela." Senor Paul has sent another letter to the foreign minister of The Nether lands in which he says: "This indispensable measure affects only M. DeReus. It will not alter the existing friendly relations between Venezuela and The Netherlands. Vene zuela desires to cultivate these rela tions, but through another inter mediary, a diplomat who would be a messenger of friendship and harmony.” YOUNG GIRL BEHEADED At Freibery, Saxony, for the Brutal Murder of Her Lover.
