Lives in South Sea Island for Forty Years as Sole White Inhabitant Has Violin For Companion.

NEW YOItK, Aug. 4. The "loneFomest man in the v.-orld" sailed from New York aboard the steamship Dltie f the Whiti .tar line. James Moodle of Corea island, near Caledonia, in the South Pacific, claims the distinction of being the most lonesome man. For nearly 4 0 years he has been the sole white inhabitant of the South sea isle, and so seldom hua he met men of his own race that he has almost forgotten the language of his parents. It was nearly a half century ago that Moodle, an adventurous Scotch lad, engaged in the South sea island trade, lie found Ttica island to his liking and eatsblished a trading pest there. only at long intervals has he been visited by white traders, seeking copra and other products of the island. During the many years he has been on Urea island his family has died, one by one, until today lie has only one living relative, Robert Moodle of 1,'uinhead. Scotland, a brother. James Moodle has not seen this brother in Co years. They parted as mere youths, and in a few days will meet again, grizzled and gray. Wht n Moodle first went to I'rea island lie took with him a violin that had previously been the possession f his lather, an.l on the steamer he carried the fiddle under his arm. "This violin has l-en my constant companion for more than half a lifetime," said Mr. Moodle before he sailed. "I have bt en ami still am the most lonesome man in the world, and had it not been for my fiddle I do nU know how I should have lived. At the present day I am the only white man on Urea island, but as long as I have my violin I do not care. As the years have gone ly I have grown more and more accustomed to b ing alone. "We g t the mail at I'rea island about or.ee eveiv- six ecks and so

ARCHERY NOT DEAD SPORT Distance ITiglit A rondos New Interest.

LONDON, Aug. 4. At the annual archery meeting at Le Touquet, Franco, the record llight of 4 59 yards has aroused great interest. It is not widely known that there is an excellent body of archers in London. Very few would suspect the presence of the delightful old-world spot, an arrow's llight from the rear of Marylebone road. It is here archery Uour-; ishes in a modest way under the auspices of the Royal Toxophilite society. Hither more than one member of the house of commons may be seen wending his way. Here are bows and arrows taken from the tombs of Egyptian kings, dating back to li. C. l!t;no. In a glass case is a small Turkish bow, an arrow from which made a marvelous flight. The French flight of 4 51) yards 6 inches has been erroneously described fts a record since 179 4. The marvelous little Turkish bow of Regent's park also has a recordl During 1793 Mahmoud ElTendi, a member of the Turkish bgation, with this V.ow in Regent's park shot an arrow 4 SO yards, a measured by three members of the Royal Toxophilite society. Probably the longest distance llights of recent years wer those set up at Le Touquet by Sir Ralph Payne Gallway-r.art, in 1905. In private the distances covered were 4l'0, 415 and 4 12 yards. At th meeting his distance was measured at HOT yards. Far from languishing, the sport of kincs and outlaws is making satisfactory progress in this country, which passesses nearly eight societies. Archery, like other patrician sport, does not court" publicity, and probably this accounts for the idea that the sport is dying out.

Old Man of 80 to Start Endless Back to the Soil Chain Movement Has Worked Ten Years.

Special Correspondence. HARTFORD. Conn., Aug. 3. An endless back-to-thc-soil chain movement, that is to perpetuate itself and eventually become nation-wide and involve the expenditure of millions 01 dollars, has been launched here by one of the oldest living Yale university graduates, Austin Cornelius Dunham. It will give city people chances to buy on deferred payments at low interest rates live-acre farms near the city where the men can work at leatt part of their times in the city. It takers city families with little or no money and sets them down out in the country on well-equipped small farms. For five years the details of the great scheme have been mapped out by Dunham, who is over SO years old. "Everything I have touched in life has been successful," he explained. "All have brought me money. Rut his, my last venture, shall not bring me a dollar, and I pray that it may bo successful. "Seven miles south of Hartford I have purchased a tract of land. My plan is to lay out the place into liveacre lots, put a house, a barn and a chicken coop on each plot and give that property over to an industrious city couple whose desire it is to get back to the soil. "There will be no set rule as to the amount of money needed to be paid down. Everything in that direction will depend on the past record of the applicants. Each tract holder will be required to pay four per cent interest and a small amount above (hat every month on the principal. No worthy family, once being in possession of a plot, will be deprived of the result of its labors through sickness or death. "Each house will be equipped with all modern conveniences, including running water. The barn is to bo stocked with the necessary tools and seeds, and 4 0 hens will cackle in each coop. And each family will get one pig and one cow. "Last year 1 gave the Shefiield school $75,000. This year I am going

to spend $100,0 00 on some of the com

mon people. Those who want to

back to the soil will be given an opportunity to make good." "I will soon close my eyes. Rut the. work will continue. A board will manage the property. The interest and the payments of the principal will go into the tru.t fund. Trustees will continue the work even after every acre on this plot has been taken upon other sites." Dunham showed a stack of letters that had come from as far as Canada from people who are anxious to get one of those farms. Every fiveacre farmer will be advised to get a job in one of the nearby cities and devote an hour or so each day to the farm before sunrise and an hour or tAo after sunset. And while he is in the city working for wages his wife and children will be busy on the farm.

rather than add to its effectiveness. What young lady's eyes would not sparkle with joy and delight if she found herself the posscsser of a dia-

SHOWS THE J)HILD IDOLS lnpcror Trailed for Selecting Design Jr "Kiddies. r.ETHJX, Aug. 4. The dedication of a Iiir land Fountain" iu a public park of r.erlin was one of the rnunieip.ilitiy's contributions toward celebrating the r.uarto-eeiilennial of the emperor's rt The origir.al dign for this fountain was hr.ish ti and shown at an art exhil itiui 1 J ears ago. Af;-r having e a avroed ly the police authorities, the d sign came back to the city hall, with the information that the emperor declined to pass it. His criticir-m was that the iigures representing the famous characters In fairy stories were made mere details in the architectural scheme so that the children for whom the fountain was intended, could scarcely recognize their story-bo.. k favorites. His majesty recommended that this 'grewn-up'' allegorical design be rejected, the fairy heroes and heroines Le brought together in groups and above all. he advised the municipal oltlcials to secure the .services of some sculptor who had shown his ability to do work in a way that appealed to children. The emperor's interference caused much unfriendly criticism in the newspapers, and the city father arKued that he had exceeded his authority. Nevertheless, thy appointed a committee to consider his suggestions. The services of a Munich sculptor were secured, and ai'ter several years a new design was approved by both the emperor and the city. The fountain has been erected, and

When a city official ask3 to be returned to public office by the vote of the people he must have a clean record to present. This is the kind of record that Mr. Joseph A. Faidle holds up to the tax payers of outh bend, and bids for their support in returning him to the seat of council-man-at-large, which position he now holds. During his term of office he has become well versed in municipal affairs and thus has qualified himself to till the position with credit and success should he be nominated and elected again. He is a representative of that higher class of Hungarian citizens who are recognized for their integritv and honesty in purpose and in w. utever capacity they chance to land. He has made a good city official, and no mistake can be made by the voters of the city in fulfilling his aspirations and again making him a oouncilmai.-at-lu.rge to represent the

taxpayers in the conduct of municipal

affairs.
