tumorous Jrpartracnt. The Pumper Boy'e Song. Young Mr. Prentice undertook, with characteristic enthusiasm, the task assigned him by the rector of forming and training the new choir; but at the end of a trying afternoon, spent In examining the voices of all sorts of boys, poor Mr. Prentice's patience was at low ebb; he was convinced that there were no singers In the vicinity of St. Luke's! After a long line of hopeless material had been gone over and rejected, the young choirmaster ran his hands distractedly through his long locks as another applicant appeared at the door. This one, more unpromising in appearance than his predecessors?If 1 that were possible?was Johnny, the scrawny, bashful son of Widow Bings, who lived "down by the tracks" and washed for everybody. "We'll leave out remarks and pre- 1 limlnary questions." said young Mr. Prentice tartly, "and plunge Immediately Into business." "Yes, sir, please"? said Johnny, not comprehending, but anxious to please. "Sing me something, anything whatsoever that you're familiar with," said the choirmaster resignedly. "Sing, sing, I tell you!" he ordered peremptorily, as the youthful applicant hesl- 1 tated. Johnny's freckles almost disappeared in blushes, but he struggled 1 bravely, and Anally managed, with melancholy effect, to grind out a few lines of a street song?In a voice quite "impossible." i "See here"?Mr. Prentice was ordl- 1 n&rily a mild young man,. but now he was almost savage?"do you actually I come here to ask me for a place?" "Ma said I should"?began poor I Johnny, in feeble self-defence. "Oh, undoubtedly your family constitutes the proper tribunal for passing on your musical ability," said the young choirmaster, with biting sar- 1 casm, "but the plain truth is that you 1 can't sing at all, boy!" ' "I didn't say I could, mister," blubbered Johnny, driven to bay. "an* I don't want to sing. Mother said I should come and try for the Job o' < pumping the new organ, but you said tar me to ulnar. sir. an' I Just did It to ' please you. I'm real stiddy, air. an'"? Johnny got the Job.?Youth's Companion. They Had to Hurry. In the fastnesses of the Adirondacks, , . social functions In which the natives , figure are few and far between. These events are chronicled far and wide, , planned for weeks In advance, and form the topic of conversation for | weeks afterward. , Recently the wife of one of the leading oltlsens of a email town In Frank- ( lin county Issued invitations for a re- , ceptlon to be held at her home. These , Invitations were sent out about two weeks In advance, and the whole coun- j try side discussed the probabilities of , the entertainment with great interest. , Among the Invited guests were two , sisters, daughters of an aged farmer f In the vicinity. This farmer, sad to relate, died two days before the day set for the reception. The hostess of ] the reception heard of the death, and , also learned that the funeral had been fixed for 3 o'clock of the same afternoon on which she was to receive her , guests. The hour of the reception had been fixed for 5 o'clock. ( In the country there Is little of the , fashionable delay so prevalent In more , thickly settled communities, when it , comes to attending social gatherings, , and at 5 o'clock, the hostess was busy , shaking hands with her guests. She was amazed In the midst of this duty ] to see tne two ratneness sisters advancing upon her. For a moment her , surprise rendered her speechless. Then , she gasped out, as she shook hands . with the girls: , "I hardly expected to see you here this afternoon!" 'Well," said the elder sister, "we did have to hurry."?New York Times. ( Depreciated Cash Assets.?Dr. Charles J. Bushnell of this city says that America spends six billirfhs a year on crime and pauperism. ' "And what do we get for that tremendous expenditure?" said Dr. Bushnell recently. "What have we to show for It? Alas, we have nothing admirable to show, and yet the governing men who spend this money for us look at the result complacently. They think It is a gooa resuu. iney reuiuiu nie of the old miser of Mount Vernon. "A Mount Vernon miser, though a millionaire, insisted on wearing the shabbiest clothes. His clothes, tn fact, were Just about as wretched as are the results that our government gets by the expenditure of those six billions yearly. "An old family friend endeavored one day to persuade the miser to dress better. v 'I am surprised.' he said, 'that you should let yourself become so shabby.' " 'But I am not shabby,' said the miser. " 'OH, you are,' said the family friend. 'Remember your father. He was always neatly, even elegantly, dressed. His clothes were very handsome.' " 'Why,' he shouted triumphantly, 'these clothes I've got on were father's!'"?Washington Star. Where They Die O.vly Once.?A lumbering old stage was winding in and out over a remote road in the Adlrondacks. There was only one passenger, and he had chosen to sit outside beside the driver. Several times he had tried conversation, but had met with so little encouragement that he had given up and was silently watching the landscape. Presently they came to a tiny mountain burying ground, containing a few gravestones and a few unmarked graves. The passenger looked at it, struck by Its air of loneliness, which seemed to stir in him afresh the desire for htiman intercourse. He turned again to the driver, pointed toward the graveyard, and observed: "People anuund here don't seem to die very often, do they?" And without turning.his head: "Jest once." said the driver. X-S In a Connecticut village there ts a clergyman noted not more for his erudition than for the length of his sermons. A New Yorker, who was a native of the village, happening to be there over Sunday, started, to church to hear the noted divine. Being, as he feared, a little late, he paused outside and asked of the old sextlon if the services had been holding long. "Indeed, yes, more'n an hour the doctor has been preaching. The congregation are praying now to be let out!" j ifliscfUanrous grading. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. Newt and Comment Clipped From Neighboring Exchanges. LANCASTER. News, September 18: The First A. R. P. presbytery met at Shiloh -yesterday and formally Installed the Rev. O. W. Carmichael as pastor of the Shiloh and Lancaster churches. The ministers present were the Rev. Oliver Johnson of Neely's Creek; Rev. C. E. McDonald of Chester, and Jtev. Mr. Lummus of Rlchburg An account of the killing of Mr. James T. Thomasson of Fairfield county, last Friday In Chester county, in the neighborhood of Great Falls, was published In Saturday's Issue of.thie News. His slayer was a negro, Jeff Murphy, who Is now In Jail at Winnsboro, having gone there and voluntarily surrendered. It appears from what we have been able to learn that at an early hour Friday morning, Mr. ' Thomasson went to a negro house In the vicinity of Great Falls to get a gun upon which he had a claim, the negro In whose possession it was supposed to be having been at one time a tenant on Mr. Thomasson's place. Not finding the weapon, Mr. Thomasson went to the house of another colored man In the neighborhood, where he suspected that it was concealed. In prosecuting his search for the gun he raised or started to raise some bedding:, when a woman In the house Jumped up on top of the bed and forbade him to take off the covering, saying that there were some things under the bed which a man had no business to see. Mr. Thomasson shoved her aside with a gun which he had in his hand, and in doing so he made a slight abrasion of the skin or> her forehead. As he warded her off he was shot In the head and instantly killed by Murphy, who was in the house at that time, though it is not thought that Mr. Thomasson was aware of his presence. Murphy is not the husband of the woman. The weapon he used was a shot gun. Murphy walked out the house, got his horse and left for Wlnnsboro. Two white men, it Is said, were present, but they did not arrest the negro. CHESTER. Lantern, Sept. 17: Miss Carrie Bell Pnag of Rock Hill, who Is the guest of Mrs. J. A. Hafner, accompanied by the latter and Mrs. M. J. Melton, went to Hicklin Saturday to visit Mrs. W. C*. Hicklin. Mr. Hafner went over and returned with them today Mrs. James Darby of Lowryville, was in the city yesterday morning on her return from Fort Mill, where she has been for ten days helping to nurse her son-in-law, Mr. Harvey Witherspoon, who has recovered from an attack of diphtheria Mr. W. W. Lewis and two children of Yorkville, came Saturday to visit his sigter, Mrs. R. R. Hafner Mr. Smith Gordon, who lived near Blackstock, on the Fairfield "'"'o ooriv Suhhnth mornine after three months' Illness, of some stomach trouble, and the remains were buried it Concord yesterday, the Rev. G. G. Mayes conducting funeral service. Mr. Gordon was born In Belfast, Ireland, about 80 years ago. He came to this country when he was 18 years old. He was married to Miss Margaret Wilson, by whom he was the fattier of six children, three of whom survive, Mr. David Gordon of this city, being one of them. He served through the war In company I, Sixth regiment, having gone out In 1861 with the Chester Blues At a cabin located on the corner of Ashford and Columbia streets on Saturday night last, Will Johnson shot and killed Sumter Wise, both of the men being colored. Mr. M. J. Wallace heard the shooting and as he was starting out of his house saw the negro. Will Johnson, running up the street. Mr. Wallace suspected that something was wrong and on arresting Johnson found that he had a pistol. He was locked up In the guard house. Mr. Wallace having no inkling of the true state of affairs, un going back from the guard house Mr. Wallace heard the facts. It seems Hattie Heath, who had been separated from her husband for some years and who was living with her children, was looked after by both Johnson and Wise. Naturally there was no love lost between the two. On Saturday night Wise was at the house when Johnson came up and In a fit of jealously shot Wise to death. Johnson fled and was arrested as described above. On searching the house the body of Wise was found by the officers and soon the tale was told of how the shooting was done. The woman said that when the shot was fired she ran out of the house and hid In a cotton patch. A jury was empaneled and after viewing remains the coroner adjourned the hearing until Sabbath morning. On the following morning the jury with Mr. R. E." Cousar as foreman, after hearing the evi dence returned a verdict that Wise came to his death from a wound inflicted with a pistol in the hands of Will Johnson. Johnson is now in jail and will have to stand trial for his life. GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, Sept. 17: Sheriff Shuford, assisted by Deputy Bob Rhyne and Supt. W. P. Eddleman yesterday afternoon captured Rufe Duff, a negro who escaped Friday from the chaingang. He was caught on the farm of Mrs. Poley Rhyne above Dallas. and was hiding in a com field. Duff was serving a long sentence and had still about five months' to serve. Up to yesterday afternoon no new cases of scarlet fever had been reported to County Physician L. N. Glenn, and there Is little apprehension of an epidemic. The cases that are already in existence are being carefully guarded and no risks are being taken. By the use of wise quarantine measures it is expected that the disease will soon bo stamped out entirely in Gastonia and the county... .Watson Nolen, son of Capt. C. M. N'oien, sustained painful. though not serious injuries Friday a i \1??l/lon I4u u'ottf i\r\ tpy curslon from Chester to Edgemont. At Maiden he got off the train, and in attempting to get back on, was thrown and badly bruised. He was taken to Newton and brought home Friday afternoon. He is now able to b< 'ip and his injuries are not of such a nature as to result in permanent harm Mr. W. H. Jenkins is confined to his home on account of a severe injury he sustained Friday afternoon when his left leg was broken, the bone being fractured just above the ankle. Mr. Jenkins had been to his saw mill in the country, where he is preparing lumber for the erection of his new residence, and was returning home with a heavy load of wood. In coming down a steep grade the load was too heavy for the team and the wagon was going at a rapid rate when Mr. Jenkins fell off and the wheels of the wagon passed over his leg, inflicting the injury. He was removed to his home here and was given prompt attention. At first i? was feared that the wound was of such a nature that it would require amputation but It is believed that this will be found unnecessary. Mr. Jenkins is suffering considerably and will be confined to his home for some weeks Last Thursday night unknown parties, presumed to have been citizens of Hickory, tore up 150 feet or more of the tracks of the C. & N.-W. roailroad on the south side of the depot at Hickory, and when the railroad sent men next day to relay the track they were stopped by the citizens. The difficulty dated back to a decision of the corporation commission requiring the Southern and C. & N.-W. to use the same depot at Hickory and the C. & N.-W. to remove Its tracks from the south side of the depot. The depot has at last been completed, but the railroad company had never obeyey the order for the removal of the track, and when they started, on Thursday evening, to repair the track as If It were to remain there permanently, certain citizens, presumably decided to take the matter In their own hands and during the night tore up the track which the commission had ordered removed. It was feared for a while that there would be serious trouble, as what came very near being a riot followed the attempt to relay the track, but quiet was finally restored and the matter will be left to the corporation commission for final settlement. Commissioner Rogers of Raleigh, went to Hickory Friday, where a meeting of the city and railroad officials was held and it was agreed that the railroad would carry out the orders of the commission,.... The strike of operatives at the Loray mill, which has been on for several days, Is at an end and the majority of those who walked out returned to their places this morning. Manager A. E. Moore met the strikers and the employees of the mill in Bradley hall last night and made a short talk in the course of which he told them that the mill had decided some months ago to reduce the hours on or about November 1 to 63 and on the first of January to 60 hours per week. By way of a concession he told them that the management would make the number of hours 62 instead of 63 on November 1. In an Interview with a gentleman closely Identified with the management of the mill In an official capacity, this morning, the Gazette learns that the real issue of the strike was not for shorter hours, as the management had never denied that it was their intention to make the hours shorter. The real cause and object of the strike, which, by the way, the walkout did not remedy, was to secure the reinstatement of Messrs. Belk, Puckett and Hare, three employees of the mill who had been discharged. It Is understood that there were at no time during the strike more than 200 active strikers, though there were probably as many as 700 operatives out, many of them because of excitement. All Is again serene and the majority of the operatives are working at their old places EBEN BREWER. Field Postmaster in the War With Spain. It Is not often in these workaday, hurrying times that thousands of men, scattered over a great continent, gather, at least in spirit, to do honor to one of their number who Is piactically unknown to the world at large, yet who did his duty quietly, with no hope of reward, and who died uncomplainingly while doing It. Therefore unusual significance may attach to the recent dedication in the city of Erie, Pa., of a life-sized bronze statue of Eben Brewer, which was presented to that municipality by employees of Uncle Sam's postoffice in order to commemorate deeds of heroism and patriotism by one of their number during the war with Spain. The army advanced inland, on July 6 the postofllce was moved forward to Siboney and In two days 400 sacks of mail matter were distributed and delivered there. Then It became urgently necessary to take a special pouch of important matter to the front. No means of transportation could be furnished. so Mr. Brewer purchased a horse at war prices and himself started on a journey of thirty-six hours through the tropical region, and upon his return at once got under way with a second consignment for the front, which was so heavy that he had to hire a Cuban and a pack mule to help him. During the second trip the real fighting was In progress. As soon as the mall was delivered, Mr. Brewer threw himself into the work of rescuing the wounded, of whom there were 600, with only a few surgeons and a handful of nurses to care for them and the hospitals far back through the jungle. It was at this time that his training and physical development among the football giants of Dartmouth, many years previous^ stood him in good stead. For four days and nights he neither rested nor slept, and what food he ate was snatched up in scraps here and there. Hour after hour, day after day, night after night, he plunged through the country bearing wounded soldiers on his back, carrying them from battle field to hospital, then aiding: surgeons in their operations, and Inspiring the exhausted nurses with his indomitable perseverance. At last, one night, in a terrific tropical downpour, while trying to fight his way back to render assistance to other of the wounded, he taggered, almost exhausted, Into tfle shack of one of the New York war correspondents, and after being resuscitated, was himself taken to the hospital, where he died on July 14.?Harper's Weekly. ENGLAND'S SMALLEST CH'JRCH. The Whole Building Is Scarcely Sixty Feet Long. Much of the new Lady Wentworth's childhood was spent at the Lovelace country seat at Ashley Combe, near Porlock, Somersetshire. Ashley Combe theoretically is rated as a village, but Lovelace castle and the houses of the tenantry who minister to its needs are the only buildings around, says the New York Press. The castle stands on the side of a hill, looking out over the British channel, and the estate stretches for miles along the steepcliffed shore and back over the downs into the country Richard Blackmore made the setting for his "Lorna Doone"?the Doone valley, Dunkerry beacon and Bsulgworthy water. Within the borders of the estate Is Ashley Combe church, the smallest church in England. It is complete in every detail, with a rudely carved altar cut from a single block of granite: a tiny chancel separated from the body of the church by an oak chancel screen so old that it is tied together in places to prevent Its falling apart; the Lovelace family pew, a high-sided, box-like arrangement, all of black oak and cushlonless, behind this a half dozen pews, each seating three persons, on the front beside the entrance.
