CARTAGENA, CAPITAL OF TH E REPUBLIC, 18 NOW CL08EO TO THE WORLD 8EN ATE ACCEPT8 THE RESIGNATfON.
; Bogota, July 29. Angered by a report that President Reyes, when he fled Colombia for Europe, took with him $20,000,000 In gold and a bag containing millions of dollars worth of jewels as his plunder from the government, the people of the republic are on the verge of a serious revolution. Only the lack of a forceful and faring leader seems to be keeping the movement from breaking out into active war against the government. In Cartagena martial law has been declared and the port is closed to all vessels. No newspapers are admitted to the country from any other country and no meeting of more than three persons is f allowed on the streets, or elsewhere if the authorities can prevent. All Must be In at 9. P. M. None of the residents of Cartagena is allowed to be out of the house after 9 p. m. and travel between provinces bas been prohibited unless the travelers have passports of recent date. All the civil officers of the town have been added to the army and forced to perform military duty. The story of Reyes's flight from Santa Marta with the plunder he is .supposed to have carried off has led the people to believe that they will not get a "square deal" until they have overthrown the entire government as it now exists. It is said Reyes waited in Santa Marta a week, with his plunder hidden, before he could get a steamer to carry it off. He went aboard at midnight and the loading of the gold, which was of great weight, was attended to by a corps of the hip's laborers under his Immediate personal supervision. Resignation Accepted by Senate. "The resignation of President Reyes was presented to the senate today and unanimously accepted. August 3 was fixed as the date for the election of his successor to finish the constitutional.' period, which ends August 7, 1910. : BAND CONCERT. .Everyone enjoys the band concert and every woman considers a white dress the most appropriate one to wear to them.

In an effort to beat the railroad company by hoofing it along the right of way of the Big Four railroad between Cambridge City and Hagerstown, Instead of paying the company Its regular two cents a mile rate, Charles Harty of Hagerstown recently had an exciting experience also a narrow escape from death.

PONT DU GARD. An Ancient Concrete Bridge In the 8outh of France. In the south of France is a concrete arch bridge known as the Pont du Gard. which was erected In the year 66 B. ?. The concrete in this was not composed of , crushed stone or other small aggregate of the variety now employed In concrete bridge work, but was of the old style. Consisting of alternate layers of large and small stones, gravel, etc.. and of cementitlous materials. Vitruvius describes the materials and methods In use before the Christian era, and other writers like Albert! in 1843 and Polladlo in 1570 . accurately describe the method which "the ancients" (as they call them) employed "of using boards laid on edge and tilling the space between with cement and all sorts of small and large stones mingled together." It is very improbable that the Pont du Gard would have withstood the rigors of climate of the northern United States, but its actual state of preservation, as well as that of many other specimens of ancient concrete, work, proves that if modern work Is honestly executed It will mapy times outlast any reasonable bond period, so that n very small yearly sinking fund per cent is all that is required for properly designed and erected concrete work. Cement Age. Concerning Two Sounds. When Joseph Henry Lumpkin was chief justice of Georgia a case was brought up from Columbus in which a wealthy citizen asked for an injunction to prevent the construction of a planing mill across the street very near bis palatial residence. His grounds for complaint -consisted chiefly in the proposition that the noise of the mill would wake him too early in the morning. "Let the mill be built," said the chief justice in rendering his decision. "Let Its wheels be put In motion. The progress of machinery must not be stopped to suit the whims or the fears of any man. Complainant's fears are imaginary. The sound of the machinery will not be a nuisance. On the contrary, it will prove a lullaby. Indeed. I know of but two sounds in all nature that a man cannot become reconciled to, and they are the braying of an ass and toe tongue of a scolding woman." Atlanta Constitution. Poulticed With Mud. A noted explorer recently returned from central Africa tells of a unique method employed by his companions and himself to alleviate the dreadful agony, of prolonged thirst. In parts of the dark continent , there are great stretches of country where no water nt to drink Is to be found, although there are here and there pools of thick, stagnant mud. In such country the party wandered for five days without water and .might have perished bat foH an idea that occurred to their leader. Following hie : advice and example, tbey collected the stagnant mud wherever It was to be found and made it into long poultices, which they fastened round their bodies next the skin. This simple process they found to give great relief. London Answers. - AGED MAN IS DEAD David Holder, Pioneer of Hagerstown, Could Not Withstand Attack.

THE MAGIC OF HOUDI
Remarkable Cleverness of thj Famous French Conjurer. S'tS MOST WONDERFUL FEAT A MyrterToue Performance Before the Court of Louis Philippe That Was Probably the Result of a Subtle Bit of Psychological Reasoning. A link connecting the names of Cagllstro, the great charlatan, and the French coujurer Robert Houdin may be found in a story that may be justly termed "The Most Incredible Feat of Muglc Ever Performed." In 1S46 Houdin. then at the height of his popularity, was Invited to St Cloud to give a performance before the king, the royal family and court. The conjurer bad only his young son as an assistant and could rely on no tricks of light or mechanism, as the exhibition was given in one of the drawing rooms of the palace. He finished with the following extraordinary performance: Borrowing several handkerchiefs, he wound them into a package, which be laid ou the table. Then he went about among the guests distributing cards on which were to be written the names of places to which it was desired that the package be invisibly transported. Houdin then handed the cards to the king, asking him to select three at hazard and from them choose the destination he liked best. The first card read, "I desire the handkerchief to be found beneath one of the candelabra on the mantelpiece." "That" said the king, "is too easy for the ability of a conjurer of the ability of M. Houdin." The second read, "The handkerchiefs are to be taken to the dome of the Invalides." "That." commented the king, "is better. However, it is much too far, not for the handkerchiefs, but for us. . The third card suits me," said the king. "It is desired that you should send the handkerchiefs Into the chest of the last orange tree d the right of the avenue." , Houdin expressed his willingness to attempt the feat and the king whispered an order that Immediately sent a group of attendants to guard the orange tree In question. The conjurer placed the package of handkerchiefs under an opaque glass bell and then, waving a wand, ordered the package t proceed to the place chosen by the king. When the bell was raised the handkerchiefs were gone, but In their place was a white turtledove. A trusted attendant was sent to the orange tree to open the chest. He returned bearing a small Iron coffer covered by rest "Ave the handkerchiefs In this coffer ra asked the Mag. "Yes, sire, and they have been there, too. for a loag time." "How can that be possible? The handkerchiefs were given yon hardly a quarter of an hoar ago." , "Yet it Is so. and your majesty will be even more surprised when I prove that this coffer and its contents were placed in the chest of the orange tree sixty years ago. Deign - to remove from the neck of tha turtledove the key of the casket" Louis Philippe unfastened a ribbon holding a smalt ratty key, unlocked the coffer, foand a document bearing the seal of Cagllestro and read: Tbt day. the ttb of June. int. thla Iron box, eontmlntng six handkerchief a, was placed aaaonar ta roota of w orange tree by me. Ba.lae.mo. count of Caaiiostro. te serve m poKoiming aa act of magto whleh wfll be executed on the same day etxty years bene before Ixnria Philippe of Orteaaa aad fern tamy. , Beneath the parchment conveying this message was foaad a package containing what aeeseed to be the six handkerchiefs placed on the table a few minutes before. In his memoirs M. Houdin offers ao notation for the mystery. A shrewd annalist bas explained it aa being ne more than a clever bit of psychology en the part of the conjurer, who knew the character of Louis Philippe and knew Urn to be exceedingly clever in amall things.
