COURT South Carutina Legislature As-| tte Senete By Terges, | GROWS, APAL Young Beveridge Makes Strong Expansionist Speech. * ADMINISTRATION IS SUSTAINED .“The Islands Are Ours, and Should: Be Held As Such”’--Senater~ Hoar Repties, of Nebraska, offe'ed a resolution call: ing upon the secretary of war for information as to the name of the transports, the persons from whom they were acquired, the prices paid and-all other information relating to the transport service, It was adopted. At the conclusion of the routine business Mr, Bereridge, of Indiana, was recognized for his speech ou the Phitippiné question. . The text of his address was a resolution which he offered a few days ago, which declares “That the Philippine islands are ter- ritory belonging to the United States; that it is the intention of the United States to retain them as such, and to establish and maintain such govern- mental control throughout the archi- peligo as the situation may demand.” It was brilliant audience which groeted Mr. Beveridge when he began to speak. Every gallery was crowded. Forming a fringe about the table were many members of the honse of repre- sentatives, who had been attracted to hear the maiden effort in the senate of the Young Indianian. Throughont “the effort, which was very long, Mr. Beveridge commanded the attention of his colleagues of the senate and of hus auditors both on the floor of the chamber and in tbe galleries, He Spoke rapidly, with notably clear “enunciation and at times with pas- sionate force and dramatic fervor, ~ The attention of Washington bad been attracted to the boy seuator first by his election, which the Republican Politicians of Indiana had said was impossible; next by his action in go- ing oat.to the Philippines to, study the conditions thero himself; then again by newspaper notices of a hardly complimentary nature which had a tendency to misrepresent the young man, and lastly, by his announcement of aset speech upon a liye topic in the first session of his service asa senator. Anew senator is not supposed to make a epeech for a Fear or two after his advent. But Senator Beveridge cared little for ethics. There was nothing of the sophomore in his man- ner of delivery and nothing of the novice in his treatment of his subject. Almost all of the oratory which has beon heard on this subject heretofore has come from the men opposed to the administration policy. Those who faxor the expansion side have had lit- tle to say and none of those who hare talked have taken the frank open, ground of the senator from Indiana, who argued that this government sbonld not only refuse to hold out any promises of independence of howso- ever equivocal nature, but that we should declare it our purpore to hold the Philippine archipelago as a per- manent posseasion and should give its inhabitants a colonial government, The fact that Senator Beveridge hed made the investigations for him- self; that he brought testimony from -the foremost men of the islands to “bear out his contention that: it would be 2 good business proposition for us to hold these islands; that the people are incapable of self-government, and that such a government would be an injury to them rather than a bless- ing, gave peculiar value to his speech , in the opinion of his hearere. * At times he was quite dramatic in his utterances, particularly when he charged that the blood of American soldiers must be upon those here at home who bad been inetrnmental in “keeping alive the insurrection by their opposition to the policy of the admin- istration, Mr. Beveridge concluded his speech at 2:25, He received great applause, {rom both the floor and galleries. Mr, Hoar followed Beveridge and, addressed himself to the Indians seu- ator with great earnestness, It would ‘be a base thing ho said, for this coun- try to atrnke down the young republic in the Philippines. “ ‘Mr. Hoar ssid he could prove by Otis and Dewey that there was.a Fili- ping government. Otis in all communications said the president of the Philippines desired to Restablish ‘thelr independence. Mr. Moar seid Aguinaldo was brought over “atid placed at the head, of 30,000 peo- _ple-who desired independence and who were furplihed arms by the United, jblapegorerdansat, fave be ey we t = BRYAN AT BANQUET. Nebraskan Takes Prominent Part In Observance of “Jackson z Day” In Chicago. E Day” In Chicago. _ Bix hundred Democrats gathered in ‘the Inuquet ball of the Tremont house at Chicaso Saturday evening to ob- serve “‘Jackaou Day” in an appropri: ate mauner. William Jennings Bryan was tho houored guest and chiof orator of the occasion. Tt was nearly miduiglit whon the orators were in fall swing, and Mr. Bryan's addrees was Inst on the list, Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, acted 23 tonstmaster. Mr. Bryan, in opening bis address, recounted the political situation as it had existed at each successive ‘“Jack- son Day" banquet which he had ate tended in Chicago, and then coming down to later issues he discussed the currency bill, of which he said; “The currency bill fastens us to the financial systems of the old world and snbjects us to the disturbances which affeot them, while it places the control of the volume of paper money in tho hands of a bank trust, which will be as merciless to the people of this country ay Weylet was to the recon- ventrados, Tho fight for bimetallisin, at the ratio ot 16 to 1, bas not beon lost, The increased production of gold has shown the edvantage of more money, sud has answered -the argu- ments so often made that the parity conld not be maintained because of the overproduction of silver.” *Mr. Bryan declared thatthe Repub- lican party is unable to enact and en- force anti-trast laws, and that the Democratic party when in power will mect tho iesue with a plain and posi- tive remedy. Qa the subject of “im- perialism,” he said: “The question of imperialism will occupy a prominent place in the next campaign. It matters not whether the war in the Philippines enda in the near {ature or continues until election. The people mnst determine the policy to be pursued in regard to the Philip- pines. That policy must contemplate the ultimate independence of the Fil- ipinos or their permanent retention under American sovereignty. If the islands are to be retained permanently the inbabitants must be given the hope of full citizenship or they must be condemned to the lot of subjects. Who desires to admit them to share and share alika with us the destiny of this republic?” _ The entire policy of the administra- tion in relation to the Philippines, he declared to bo utterly wrong. His epeech was received ,with great en- thusiasm. : Other speakers of the evening were, General Josoph B. Doe, of Wisconsin; ‘Thomas F. Barkworth, of Michigan; James iI. Milligan, of Kentucky, and Howard 8. ‘Vsylor, of Iilinois, GEN, GREELY ASSAULTED, Thrown From Wis Wome By Drankeu Men and Sertously Injured. A Washington dispatch says: Gen- eral A. W.

S. COURT Stockholders File Bill Against Georgia and Alabama, ENJOINED FROM COMBINING. Judge Speer Grants ( Order Direct. ing Defendants to Appear and Answer. The fight that Thomas R, Ryan and his associates are waging) against the Seaboard Air-Line syndicate and John Bkelton Williams, who is at the head of the syndicate, shows no sign of abating. Instead it is more bitterly contested each day. A long drawn and closely contested legal fight is imminent, In fact it has begun. Tbe latest move in what will prob- ably prove to be one of the most bit- terly fought railway battles of recent Years was made at Macon, Gs,, Mon: ‘day when Judge Emory Speer, of the United States aircuit court of the southern district of Georgia, granted a temporary injunction restraiuing the officers of the Georgia and Alnbama railway from consolidating it with the Florida Central aud Peniusular rail- road or any other ccrporations on a bill filed dy Michael J. Dady, a mi- uority stockholder. It is alleged in the Dill that J, Skel- ton Williams is at the head of what is called 2 “voting trust” that eontrole practically all the stoek of the Georgia and Alabama railway aud is proposing to consolidate that road with the Flor- ida Central and Peninsular, of which he is also president, and -that the pro- posed consolidation with tho latter road is in his interest as well as in the interest of other persons associated with bim in the “roting trust” and contrary to the interest of the rqad aut its stockholders, J. Skelton Williams, John W. Mid- dendorf and ©. Sidney Shepard are also patties defendant and the injane- tion operates against thom. The bill was presented to Judge Speer by Marion Erwin add Joseph M. Terrell, as counsel for thé complainant, Dady. Dady’s bilf, in addition to the allega- tions that the proposed consolidation is prejudical to the rights of the stock- holders and the rosd and for: the per- sonal intorests of the “voting trust” headed by Skelton Williams, claims that the Georgia and Alabama railway and tho the Florida Central are paral- Jel and competing railroads, and un- der the constitution of the stato of Georgia their consolidation is pro- hibited. Colonel Joseph 3M, Terrell, of coun- sel for the complainant, as attorney general cf the stato of Georgia, ie now officially engaged in prosecuting two suits in the natne of the stato of Geor- gia and by the direction of Governor Candler to prevent other railroad con- solidations claimed to be contrary to the same clause of the constitution of the state which is claimed in this suit before Judge Speer is about to be violated by the proposed consolidation of the Georgia and Alabama and the Florida Central and Peniusular rail- roads, The bill prays that Messrs, Williams, Middendorf and their associates nu- der the ‘voting trust” agroemont, be enjoined from voting the stock they hold under tho agreement in favor of the proposed consolidation, and that these railroads be enjoined from re- ceiving suy vote under that agreo- ment. The allegation is made in the ill that the Willisms syndicate is proposing to get several million of do!lara for personal services in carry- ing out the consvlidation scheme. After considering the bill Judge Speer granted tho following order: “Read and considered. Tet the defendants named be temporarily en- joined as prayed until Saturday, the 13th instant, at which time they are directed to show canso before meat Macon, Ga., at 10 o'clock a, m., why the injunction prayed for should not be granted. “Ordered farther, that a copy of this order be served on each of the defendants named or on their coun- tel.” DOCTORS NOT WANTED, Children of Christian Sclontists Die of Diphtheria Without Attention.

Initlal Session Involved In » Hot Fight Over Dispensary Matters, o The Sonth Carolina legislature met in annual session at Columbia Taes- day and within eighteon minutes after the body was called to order it was in volved in-a hot fight over the follow- ing resolutions, simultaneously intro- duced in both houses: Firat—That a joint committee, con- sisting of two senators and threo rep- ‘Fesentatives, be appointed by the pre- siding officers of the respective houses to investigate the affairs of the state dispensary, Second. Thatsaid committee be and is hereby empowered to send for papers and persons, to swear witnesses, to re- qnire the attendance of all parties whose presence shall be deemed neces- sary, tv appoint an expert accountant and stenographer, to investigate freely all transactions concerning said dis- pensary and its manngement aud to take testimony within and without the state and shall have access at all times during its service to all books and vouchers and other papers of said in- stitution. Sections 3 and 4 give the committee authority to sit during the sessions of the honse, to apply for any additional | authority needed and request a report | if possible during the presont session. | Tho resolution was bitterly opposed. Its advocates declared that former in- vestigating committees lacked power and were but whitowashing concerns, Tho resolution was amended in the houto, giving the committee power to panish for contempt as in circuit courts and providing that statements made by witnesses should not be used against them. Tho comimittee is to also have a marshel and its sessions are to be open to the public, GOVERNON'S MESSAGE READ. | Governor Miles B. McSweeney sent in bis first message to the general ‘assembly. It was a paper of about 10,000 words, moderate in tone, and ‘being for the most part a record of ‘public conditions. ‘The governor first refers to tho death of his predecessor and then to the “very marked material progress iv almost every live of industry.” Of cotton hills he says: Daring the past year eleven new mills have Leon organized and are in progress of construction, representing a total capital of $3,275,000. Sixteen old mills have been enlarged, repre- senting an increase of their capital stock of $2,429,000, Tn railroad building, 237 miles have been completed and in actual ptocess of construction. This represents an outlay of at least 825,000 a mile, or nearly $6,000,000, and when completed and returned for taxation even at a valuation of $10,000 a mile, wil! add $2,370,000 to the taxable property of the state, In cotton seed oil mills, the Inmber business and other branches of indus- try there has been very marked activi- ty. A short time ago I received a com- munication from the secretary of the treasury at Washington, calling my attention to a claim of the United States government against the state of South Carolina, and an act of congress passed March 3, 1899, requiring him fo institute such proceedings as he might deem proper to collect any bonds or stocks, principal and interest, which the general government holds against this state, before any claims on the part of the state against the goy- ernment should be pald. This com- munication was brought forth on sc- count of the claims put in by this state for reishbursement of expenses incur- red in organizing volunteer troops for service in the war with Spain. ‘A statement from the state treasur- er is submitted showing the state does owe, principal and interest,é about $250,000 to the national government, but stating that the government is due the state $550,000 for money ad- vanced daring the revolutionary war and the war of 1812, Strike Settled, ©.

In opening Senator Morgan said that this resolution reveals the fact that we have reached a danger-point in the history’ of the republic which we cannot avoid or neglect. The next apportionment of representation in the house must be made by this, or the fifty-seventh congress,said the senator, and the principles on which the ap- portionment will be made will bea question of the gravest importance in this year’s election. He believed the question ought to be considered in advance of these elections. The people should decide the great question involved in these resolutions at the elections of this year upon propositions submitted to them in some form, “TI am.convinced,” said the senator, “that no other tribuasl except the people voting in the elections has the right or the power to finally settle this question here prosented in the resola- tion offered by the senator from North Carolina,” 7 “ST, JACESON'S DAY” 2.

APACE Republicans dase Matter to Federal Cou, REVOLUTION SEEMS IMMINENT All Depends On the Decisionot the Legislative Committee as to Who Is Entitled to Office. A special from Lexington, Ky., says: On the advice of ex-Governor Brad- ley, leading counsel for the Republi cans in the contest being made for the state offices, they will hold out against the Democrats, evon though the legis- lature and the state election commia- sion decide that the Republicans are not entitled to the ‘offices. He thinks this action would result in throwing the contests into the federal courts for final ‘settlement. Probably one thousand stanch Ree publicans Will be summoned to Frank- fort, ostensibly as witnesses in. the contests, bat each man will go heavily armed and he will be ready to fight to the death for the defeat of Goebol.. Already companies of such Republi- caus have been formed in several of the leading cities and they have been drilled in the duties they will Lave to perform if the Goebel men try to take the.offices. Each one of the Goebel leaders is to he covered by two of the republicans, and if they make a hos- ‘tile move they are to be shat down. Of couréo this action would produce a riot and Governor Tayler would have ‘to call out the militia to quell it, He would then declare the state under iaartial law and he could follow this ‘up by asking the national government to his aid. The work of preparing the militia for an ontbreak bas gono on steadily since the election and now ‘itis ready for anyemergency. + ~ ~~ Bignal cannon have been placed at ‘all leading points aud when they are discharged there ‘will be a hurried gathering of the troops in the respect- ive armories. All rabid Goebel men have been eliminated from the militis, and as it is at pressnt constituted ev- ery man in the service will fight to prevent Gochel from taking the gor- ernor’s chair if ordered to do so, Major P. P. Joluston, the Brown Democrotic candidate for lioutenant governor, in an interview said he believed Gocbel was about to steal the governorship, and that he will meet with no auch armed opposition from the Republicans as is threatened. He says tho Republicans are aftaid to fight. . Urey Woodson, national Democratic committeeman auda member of the ways and means committee, says: “Mr. Goebel will bo in possession of the governor's office between Jann- ary 25and and Fobrnary int, Black- barn, and not Goobel, is the man who insisted on carrying the contest up to the lecislatare.”” GILLMORE 15 FREE, All Amerleans Hold by Philipinos Hove Beon Rescued. é Oficial confirmation has come from both General Otis and Admiral Wat- son of the first reports -from Manila of the releaso of the American prison- ers, apd there is no longer any doubt that Licutenant Gillmore, of the Yorktown, is among the number.

SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE Sensational Breach of Promise Case to be Disposed of. One of the most sensational cases of recent years is soon to come up for a hearing. The date will be probably Monday Feb. the 5th. Both parties are well-known and have many friends.

Indorsed by Citizens. The announcement some weeks ago about the Whitman Sisters being stranded at Fitzgerald, Ga., is strongly denounced by the Whitmans. They made a circuit of this state and Florida, and succeeded admirably. When Fitzgerald was reached and a successful entertainment was given, it is claimed that some of the attachees took out a writ for salary. This is denied by the Whitmans. They gave bond in the case, which will come up for a hearing at Fitzgerald. They have secured attorneys and will fight the case. The other members of the company reached home safely. The following testimony was given the ladies by the citizens of Fitzgerald: This certifies that the Whitman Sisters have conducted themselves in a manner while in Fitzgerald that has won for them the respect and confidence of the citizens of this city. The financial misfortune that they met with while here did not arise through any fault of their own, and I feel assured that when their rights are fully adjusted in the courts that they will be exhonored from all blame Respectfully, Thos. Wilson, mayor; D. B. Jay, lawyer: W. H Davis, restaurant keeper; F. G. Clark, manager opera house. To the Public: Whitman Sisters have been my guests, while in this city and I can assure any one who may desire to know that the children who were under their control were treated with the utmost care and have been well pleased during their stay.

Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoint Blind Persons and Dr. amx. Everybody dreams more or less, but have you ever reflected upon the fact that people who are born blind have only "hearing" dreams? In other words, their mental eye sees nothing; they only hear sounds. This interesting point came up before a scientific society the other day, and it was found that of 200 blind persons who had been questioned on the subject those who had been born without sight and those who had become blind before their fifth year never saw things or faces in their dreams, while all those whose eyesight was destroyed after the seventh year had as vivid dream visions as seeing people. Blind people, it may be observed, dream just as frequently as do normal people.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune Shcemaker's Automatic Habit A shoemaker once had a shop in the basement of a large building in the lower portion of New York City. The shoemaker worked with his back to the door. Every time the door opened the shoemaker turned his head to the left to see who entered. For ten years the shoemaker worked and turned his head almost every hour in the day. Before many years had passed the shoemaker's head turned automatically, and now that man has spent every cent of money he has ever made trying to be cured of this automatic habit. But his head still jerks, so that he looks over his left shoulder constantly. Dying is as simple as washing when you use PUTRAM FADKLESS DYES. Sold by all drummists. The Disappointed One.

Their Onslaughts Kept In Check By General White. BRITISH VICTORIES ARE CLAIMED Ammunition at Ladysmith Is Dwindling and Troubles of Britons Are as Aggravated as Ever Before. The London war office has just published the following dispatch from General Buller: FREERE CAMP, NATAL, Jan. 8.—The following is from General White, dated yesterday: "An attack was commenced on my position, but was chiefly against Cesar's camp and Wagon hill. The enemy was in great strength and has pushed the attack with the greatest courage and energy. Some of the entrenchments on Wagon hill were three times taken by the enemy and retaken by us. The attack was continued until 7.20 p. m. One point in our position was occupied by the enemy the whole day. But at dusk, in a very heavy rainstorm, they were turned out of this position at the point of the bayonet, in a most gallant manner, by the Devons, led by Colonel Park. Colonel Ian Hamilton commanded on Wagon hill and rendered valuable service. The troops have had a very trying time and have behaved excellently. They are elated at the service they have rendered the queen. "The enemy were repulsed everywhere with very heavy loss, greatly exceeding that on my side, which will be reported as soon as the lists are completed." Another London special says: General White still holds out, or did so sixty hours ago, when the Boers, ousted from their foothold inside the works, suspended their assault at nightfall. England has taken heart. The situation, however, is worse. The beaglegured force must have expended large amounts of ammunition, which cannot be replenished and must have lost a number of officers and men, which is counterbalanced, so far as the garrison is concerned, by greater loss of the Boers. "General White still needs relief and the difficulties confronting General Buller are as great as before." "The former's unadorned sentences as read and reread suggest eloquently the peril in which the own was for fourteen hours, and how barely able his nine thousand men were to keep from being overcome. "The chief concern for General White is in respect to ammunition. Sixty-eight days ago, at the beginning of the siege, his small arm ammunition was vaguely described as "plenty." His artillery then had 300 rounds per gun. Some of the batteries have been in action frequently since then and all were probably engaged last Saturday. His stock of shells, consequently, must be low, and this will make it difficult for General White to co-operate in a movement by General Buller. The intrenchments at Lady-mith, as described in a message that left a day or two before the fighting and has just come through, are fortified hills, well covered with rife pits, and trenches down which the infantry move in single file to the various posts in absolute safety. Full rations are still served. GEORGIA REPUBLICANS Will Put Out a Full State Ticket This Fall According to Chairman Johnson. An Atlanta special says: According to the call for a state convention issued Monday morning by Chairman Pro Tern Walter H. Johnson, of the Republican state central committee, the Republicans of Georgia will take an active part in state politics this fall. It is declared by the Republican state central committee through its chairman pro tem that candidates for governor and other statehouse officers will be nominated at the state convention, which is called to meet in Atlanta March 7th. If the Republicans carry out their plans it will be the first time in a number of years that they have put a state ticket in the field and will bring them more prominently into the arena of state politics. MOST SERIOUS DEFEAT. London Awalts Further News From Stormberg With Misgivings. A London dispatch says: It is hardly too much to regard General Getzere's repulse near Stormberg as the most serious defeat British arms have yet sustained in the whole campaign. The proportion of wounded and killed is so small when compared with the missing—who are undoubtedly prisoners in the hands of the Boers—that the supplementary list of casualties is awaited with serious misgivings.

The flesh was almost entirely poisoned from her hands and her face and neck are painfully burned. Her two months-old baby is also seriously burned, but alimony she say will be safe. TO NAME FULL TICKET TO NAME FULL TICKET Georgia Republics Will Enter Campaign This Fall. STATE CONVENTION HAS BEEN CALLED Besides the Nomination of a State Ticket Delegates To National Conven- At a recent meeting in Atlanta the Georgia Republican state.central committee decided to hold a state convention at the capitol, and in compliance with the instructions and as a result of the action of the committee, the following call has been issued by Chairman Pro Tem. Johnson: Headquarters Republican State Central Committee, Atlanta, Ga.—To the Republican Voters of Georgia: In accordance with custom and in obedience to instructions of the state central Republican committee, directing a convention of delegated representatives of the Republican party, to be held in the city of Atlanta, state of Georgia, for the purpose of electing four delegates at large and four alternate delegates to the national Republican convention, to be held in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., on the 19th day of June, 1900, and for the further purpose of nominating a candidate for governor and candidates for other state house officers, and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before it, a state convention of the Republican party 18 hereby called to be held in the city of Atlanta at 12 o'clock m., Wednesday, March 7, 1900. Each county shall be entitled to twice the number of delegates that it has representatives in the lower branch of the general assembly of the state of Georgia. The committee further directed that all notices of county conventions or mass meetings shall be posted at the courthouse of the respective counties of the state holding such convention or mass meeting at least ten days before such convention or mass meeting shall be held, and each county shall give such further notice as it may deem proper for the information of its voters. That no person shall vote or participate in any mass meeting or convention called in any county of the state for the purpose of electing delegates under the call, or for electing delegates to a county convention convened for the purpose, unless he be a legal and qualified voter of his county at the time of holding such mass meeting or convention, or was a duly registered voter at the time of the presidential election of 1895. That duplicate certificates of the election of delegates, signed by the chairman and secretary of the convention or mass meeting electing said delegates, shall be forwarded by the secretary of the convention or mass meeting immediately to the secretary of the Republican state central committee. All notices of contest shall be submitted in writing, accompanied by a statement setting forth the grounds of contest, which shall be filed with the secretary of the Republican central state committee not later than three days prior to the meeting of the Republican state convention; and no person shall sit for a delegate by proxy to the convention he be a bona fide resident and voter of the county represented. J. H. DEVEAUX, Secretary. According to call the Republicans of Georgia will take an active part in state politics this fall. It is declared that candidates for governor and other statehouse officers will be nominated at the state convention. If this plan is carried out it will be the first time in a number of years that the Republicans have put a state ticket in the field and will bring them more prominently into the arena of state politics. Considerable interest attaches to the naming of a straight Republican state ticket and is declared by prominent members of the party that an active campaign will be inaugurated. One of the principal features of the convention will be the naming of the delegates to the national convention which meets in Philadelphia, June 19th, and the indications are that there will be warm contests for these places. NEW ROAD ORGANIZED! Stockholders of the C. A. and C. Air Line Meet In Athens, Ga. The Chattanooga, Augusta and Charleston Air Line Railway Company was formally organized at a meeting of the stockholders in Athens, Ga. The charter, which was granted several weeks since, was formally accepted and directors elected. It was stated in the meeting that $150,000 has been spent in Charleston for real estate and over $100,000 in Augusta and that a large portion of the rails for the construction of the road have already been purchased. The road will be built from Charleston to Athens. GENERAL GREELEY IN NO DANGER It Is Not Thought That His Skull Was Injured By His Fall. Brigadier-General A. W. Greeley, chief signal officer United States army, who was attacked by a drunken man at his home in Washington Sunday evening, is resting well, and aside from the shock and the weakness attendant on the loss of blood, experiences no serious harm as a result of the encounter. SORCERY PROFITABLE IN FRANCE. A Clever Gang's Way of Swindling the Cred dulous Out of Thousands, M. Cuvillier, Commissary of Police at Charenton, France, has arrested a gang of pretended sorcerers, who, in less than a twelfemonth, have relieved credulous inhabitants of this district of over $20,000. The chief of the gang, Jean Sorino, known as "the brass man," was first arrested, and it was on his confession that M. Cuvillier was able to raid the sorcerer's headquarters. They were situated in a small detached house, fitted up as a witches' den. Besides the phantasmagorical decorations incumbent on such a locality, the floors and walls contained trap-doors and other devices of stage trickery likely to appeal to the imagination of believers in occult sciences. Sorino's wife used to officiate as chief witch in these interesting surroundings. Correspondence seized during the police raid revealed the methods whereby the victims were despolled. For instance, a Madame de Malgen, widow of an officer of high rank, who was suffering from an incurable malady, applied to Madame Sorino, and in the course of a few sensational scences parted with $2,000. When Madame de Malgen came to follow the treatment that was to cure her, "Hebe" (Madame Sorino), after an impressive reception, set her in a comfortable armchair facing a brightly decorated scene. Very soon two dazzling attired young women, Rosa and Paula, appeared. Introduced as angels, they promised Madame de Malgen relief on earth and eternal life in Heaven. After these predictions they vanished. Then "Hebe" gave her patient opium, pills that reduced her to a somnolent condition. As soon, however, as her eyes closed she was awakened with a start by a tremendous clanging of metal and electric detonations, and, looking up, saw in place of the angels the celestial physician who was to cure her of all her ills. The part of the apparition was efficiently played by M. Jean Sorino, clad in a gorgeous suit of shining brass armor surmounted by a magnificently plumed helmet. "Young and beautiful person," he would say, "thou shalt be healed. But some of your fellow-creatures who are poor suffer, as you do. It is written that thou shalt contribute to relieve their woes. Give 1,000 francs to the lovely Hebe and thou shalt be healed." Madame de Malgen used to pay, and she was then given a third opium pill, which sent her to sleep. When she awoke the foolish woman believed she had been in Heaven, and was thus led to part with $2,000. There are other victims, whose names are withheld owing to their social position, who should have known better than to be duped by such a vulgar fraud. Meanwhile, the Brass Man, Hebe, Rosa and Paule are all in jail, and the police are unearthing further accomplices. The soccerers, it has been discovered, had branches in Paris, where similar swindles were perpetrated, and it is stated that the victims are not only choice in quality, but are considerable in number. No Fear When Death Draws Nigh. "I have seen thousands of persons die under all sorts of circumstances, and never yet have I seen one display the slightest fear of death." This remarkable statement was made the other day by a physician who has practiced many years in Philadelphia and who has seen a great deal of hospital service. "It is a popular fallacy," he went on, "to imagine that a deathbed scene is ever terrible, other than as a parting between loved ones. The fear of the unknown is never present at the last. Even amid ignorance and vice I have never experienced such scenes as a novelist, who strives after realism, will sometimes picture. "When a patient is told that he cannot recover and the end is near, he invariably seems resigned to his fate, and his only thought seems to be of those who are to be left behind. This is true alike of men and women. "Those who become hysterical and declare they are not fit to die are the ones who are not as ill as they think they are. They always get well. "A psychological reason? Oh, I don't know that there is any. It's just a human trait."—Philadelphia Record. No Pub'l Schools In Chinat. There are no public schools in China, and all instruction has to be by private tutor, yet there are few young men there who do not get at least two years of schooling. The young women do not, as a rule, take schooling, as they are to pass their lives in the home, and about household duties, and they do not need it. There are few people there so poor that they cannot give their children some little instruction. The studies are almost entirely confined to Confucius.

Did you ever think how easy it is for some people to be talked into a thing? PISHER ROCK HILL BUGGY CO. ROCK HILL, S.C. Once upon a time there really was a war chest—an actual, literal war chest. Kings of England respected the demands of that chest to a greater extent than they were wont to respect the requirements of a good many other deserving institutions, and all the gold pieces that they felt they could spare from their own pet enterprises they dropped into it as a child put pennies in his little tin bank. Government officials say when I ask them half seriously if the war chest is to-day hidden away in some burglar-proof vault, that no such thing now exists, that in these days of blue books and public reports that any one can buy for a cent, there is no chance for any such secret fund. Germany, however, is popularly supposed to have a strongly guarded war chest, and so it is believed, have Italy and Austria.—Atlanta Constitution.

Lobsters are more plentiful than they have been during the past five years. The dealers say that the United States fish commission, by collecting seed lobsters, hatching the eggs and distributing the small fry about the coast of Maine, are responsible for the increase in the supply.
