^tumorous department. The Favorite War. In a sporting resort hi the east end of London a popular Irish pugilist was matched against a burly and clever negro. The Irishman was a hot favorite, and his friends bet heavily that he would whip his colored opponent. The referee was also an Irishman, and when in the first round the negro reached the Irish fighter's jaw and the latter's head thumped the boards with a crash that seemed to preclude further contest the following monologue by the referee as he stood over the fallen favorite, counting the seconds, took place: "One!" (In an undertone to his gasping compatriot: "Come on, man; get up out o' that. Are yez goin' to let this black son of Ham say he knocked yez out?) "Two! (Wurrah, man, can't yez raise yourself and listen to what I'm tellin' yez? Come on; get up!) "Three! (For the sake of ver fathers that bled on many a field get up and wipe up the floor with this black smoke that's grinnin' at yez!) "Four! (An' sure are yez goin' to lie there slapin' while this limb of Satan takes all the money? (let up, I say, afore I pull yez up!" This sort of entreaty continued until, as the disgusted referee lingered on the final count, the badly dazed Irish pugilist staggered to his feet, swung wildly at the unguarded negro and bowled him over unexpectedly. Quick as a flash the ever ready referee sprang to the prostrate colored man, who, though dazed and weak, was wildly struggling to regain his feet, and counted: "One, two, three, four, five and five is ten! You're out, you naygur!" His Son Andy.?Dr. Andrew J. McCosh was in his college days a famous athlete. He could run faster, kick a football farther and jump higher than any man in Princeton. Publicly his father, President McCosh, took no notice of Andy's achievements. That he privately rejoiced in his son's prowess the students learned in this way: Jimmy, as the president was familiarly called, though exceedingly courteous, was given to fits of abstraction in which he entirely forgot his surroundings. Once at a reception in his home, apparently forgetful of all the world, he was pacing up and down the room with head bent and hands interlocked behind his back. Suddenly he walked up before a young lady and asked: "How tali are ye?" In an embarrassed way she replied, "Why, doctor, I'm?I'm five feet, two inches." "Me son Andy could jump over yer head," said the doctor and immediately resumed his walk. An Inconvenient Memory.?A senator who has grown very dignified' in recent years was making a speech, says the Saturday Evening Post. After he had finished there was a reception at one of the hotels. A little man pushed eagerly forward. "Hello, senator!" he shouted. "How do you do, sir?" "Say, senator, you remember me? I'm Jones?Jones of Springfield, you know. I met you down here. Remem Der now iuii we roi uignnci . "I do not," replied the senator icily. They pushed Jones away, hut soon he was back. "Hello, senator!" he shouted. "Don't you remember that time down in St. Louis we went out and made a night of it? Jones of Springfield, you know." They shoved Jones away again, and somebody standing near the senator asked: "Who's your friend?" "I don't know who he is. but he seems to be hell on reminiscences." The Trooper's Wise Steed.?Trooper Brown of the British Territorials was "green." His horse, likewise unaccustomed to war, seemed from its appearance and general structure to have been not very long ago a dray horse. But it was a wise animal and had learned through experience that to keep one's mouth shut is to avoid many troubles. Much practice had enabled it to keep its mouth shut very successfully and very tight. On the first morning parade in Trooper Brown's first camp the lieutenant rode down the lines of his company. "All the men turned out. sergeant major? he queried. "Yessir," said the sergeant major, "all except Trooper Brown. He's waiting for his horse to yawn so's he can slip the bit in, but the worst of it Is, sir, the brute doesn't seem a bit tired."?Tit-Bits. Their Meeting Place.?The lady dean of a well known girls' college, being very much annoyed that the girls after chapel on Sunday waited around the entrance of the assembly room and stood in groups on the stairs instead of diS)M-rsing at once, resolved to institute a reform. So at the regular chapel service one morning she arose with much dignity and made the following remarks. "I have noticed a growing tendency among the young women to linger about the chapel Sunday mornings, blocking the halls and stairs. Hereafter the following order will be preserved in leaving chapel: First the president will pass away, then 1 will pass away, then the faculty members will pass away, and finally the student body by classes will pass away, and we will all meet below"? She never finished her sentence. An Aid to Digestion.?The Blanks had invited a guest to dinner. As the last course was reached little Willie, who had been closely watching tin guest almost continually during the meal, looked over at him once more and said. "You haven't changed a bit since you starting eating, have you, Mr. Curtis?" "Why. no." laughed the visitor. "Why ch> you ask that question?" "Because," blurted out Willi*', confused by tFit- pairs of eyes foeused on him?"because I heard pa say you'd make a 1uk hog of yourself as soon as you got your eyes on this feed." The Brake on Tight.?< Hit of the Orand Central station, in New York, the other day came a couple evidently from up state regions. The old man grasped his carpetbag and bulging . green umbrella firmly and looked up and down the street, his mouth agape. "There's a heap o' sights in NewYork. I guess. Maria," he said. "I misdoubt if we See them all." The old lady's mouth set grimly. "Waal. Silas." she replied, and her manner was more than significant, "hem's as I'm \\;ith you. there's some, I expect, that you ain't goin' to see!" ittiscrUancouo Reading. FROM NEIGHBORING EXCHANGES News and Comment About Things In and Around the Country. Lancaster News, June 11: The salaries of many postmasters in this state will be increased on the tirst of next month, among them the I^aneaster postmaster, whose salary will he raised from $1,800 to $1,000 Mr. and Mrs. J. Palmer Fl.vnn have issued invitations to the approaching marriage of their charming daughter, Miss Hertha, to Mr. Franklin Rowell Hay. The ceremony will be performed at the residence near Lancaster of the prospective bride's parents on Wednesday .afternoon, June 22. at 4.30 o'clock. Miss Flynn is a pretty and accomplished young lady, was educated at the Methodist college in Columbia and has many friends and admirers here and j elsewhere. Mr. Hay. formerly of Richland county, now holds a responsible [ position under Lancaster's new system of highway construction, being general superintendent of the working forces in the county. He is a young man of exemplary character, and by his affable manners and gentlemanly deportment, makes friends of all with whom he comes in contact It has long been a matter of speculation as to the age of old man Hardy Montgomery, Lancaster's oldest citizen; but the question has been settled at last. Hardy has always said that he and his young master, Mr. Montgomery, who was drowned many years ago, were the same age. Montgomery's grave Is near Liberty Hill and his age is inscribed on the tombstone. Mr. L.-wis P. Clyburn of this place, while in that locality a day or two ago, examined the monument, and from the dates inscribed thereon, he ascertained that Hardy is now in his 97th year. Notwithstanding his advanced age, Hardy enjoys good health and supports him- f self by making and selling fish has- s kets, door mats, horse collars, etc. He ^ feels so young and spry that he is thinking of taking unto himself anoth- s er wife, his last wife, "Joanna" his j companion for more than half a con- c tury, having died a year or so ago. 0 Rock Hill Herald, June 10: Mrs. C. n J. Henry had the misfortune to slip a and fall in her home a few days ago c and fracture two ribs. She is con- j fined to bed and has been suffering a y great deal as a result of the accident. (] Mayor Jno. T. Roddey left the city l Friday afternoon for Washington, D. t C., where he was to have a conference <] as soon as possible with the Southern q railway officials concerning the new ( passenger station for Rock Hill. He a took with him the ordinance which y was under discussion at council meet- e ing last Monday night with the inten- j tioT. of having it approved verbally by r the officials. Mr. Roddey has been ac- t tive for several years past in securing j the new station and it is through his r efforts that the officials have promised t an up-to-date station On Tuesday p night at about 11.30 o'clock, there oc- | curred at the residence of Mr. W. M. y Dunlap, on East Main street, an acci- a dent, which might have had serious r consequences. Being awakened by the j baby, Mrs. Dunlap had occasion to go j out on the back piazza with a lamp In j her hand. Without any warning, the i lamp exploded and in throwing it j from her it struck the baby-carriage, setting it afire and practically destroying it. The alarm was sounded and the department responded promptly, . but before reaching the house they were notified that their services were not needed. Mr. Dunlap was out of the city on the night of the accident. One of the most interesting features of the recent commencement at * Erskine college was the alumni reunion. held last Tuesday. A more enthusiastic body of men could scarcely have been found than these who are united in one common purpose?the upbuilding of their alma mater. The chief matter of interest was the launching of the newly formed organization known as the Erskine Educational Aid society, composed of alumi and friends of the institution. About 250 members were secured at commencement and the prospects are fine for a large membership. Much credit for the organization is due Mr. \V. J. Roddey of this city, who is the chief mover in the project. Mr. John A. Jenkins also has done fine work, of thirty members at $10 apiece right here in Rock Hill. Mr. Roddey's address to the alumni was a splendid one. inspiring the large audience with enthusiasm. The object of the association is purely benevolent, its main purpose being the raising of funds to lend to worthy young men who desire an education. The far-reaching good of this work may readily be seen and without doubt many young men will avail themselves of this magnificent opportunity. Officers of the association were elected as follows: President. W. J. Roddey, Rock Hill; vice president. Dr. J. I. McCain, Erskine; secretary, John A. Jenkins. Rock Hill. Gastonia Gazette, June 10: At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at David's Chapel Lutheran church, near Relwood. Mr. D. Augustus Cline of Gastonia, and Miss Eloise Stamey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John G. Stamey, were united in marriage in the presence of a large assembly of admiring friends. Two couples of East Gastonia young people drove to Clover yesterday afternoon and were united in marriage bv Squire Stfford.

The experiments were ,, onducted by Miss Laura Holland Pain- p er, under the direction of Prof. J. C. t] 'etterman. They have for a basis the s xamination of the crop contents of a a otal of 155 adult and nestling spar- t( ows collected from various places, the n eriod of collection extending over a p lumber of months. h It was in 1850 that eight pairs of p English s|>arro\vs were liberated in the s >arks of Brooklyn in the belief that p hey would destroy certain insect pests p hat were ruining the shade trees of v Irooklyn and other cities. Other im- p or tat ions were made, the largest in j, S59, when 1,000 pairs were liberated at Philadelphia. levers of trees and birds j, loon realized that a serious mistake v lad been made for it was seen that the p iparrow did not appreciably destroy f, nsects. as it was observed to feed j, riiuipally upon grain. The ornitholo- n rists of the country soon realized that j. n account of the eombativoness of the ? iparrow and its wonderful ability to idapt itself to different conditions of ife beneficial native species were rowded out. . 11 In the report reference is made to 1 he fact that the English sparrow is >ur most prolific bird. One pair under J' ut'aI conditions wouiu ill a irn } rara iroduce ?i progeny consisting of milions of individuals. That it is found rum Siberia to the torrid zone illusrates its wonderful power of adapta>ility. The contents of the crops of 114 adult sparrows showed that they eed almost entirely on seeds and train, not one insect being found. Fory per cent of the crops contained cheat. Ten per cent contained buds >f fruit trees. This fact alone is sufli ient evidence to condemn the sparrow. The study of the feeding habits of he nestling sparrows develops an enirely different set of facts. The crops >f the 31 nestlings studied revealed in lie majority of cases the presence of nsects. The nestlings in question ivere of different ages, showing that hev are insectivorous until they leave he nest, when they immediately begin to feed upon grain. This fact of the Insectivorous nature of the nestling sparrow is pointed nut as constituting the only redeeming feature of the spar* ow. but does not offset the loss which the adult causes the farmer in the destruction of his crops. The field study f these species shows that it is rapidly bringing about a great reduction in the number of native birds of this state. Among those affected are some if our most valuable birds, such as the bluebird, swallow, robin, etc. Some birds tire found to be particularly obnoxious in certain states, while in others the same species may justly lie considered beneficial. This, according to the results of the investigation, does not apply to the Fnglish sparrow, which is decidedly obnoxious wherever found. The suppression or extermination of the sparrow is, therefore, an interstate problem and should be dealt with ;it once by the various state legislatures.? Pittsburg flazette-Tiines.

[Continued from First Page.] >d rights or freedom of contract can itand in the way of our cutting out ibuses from the body politic. Just as ittle as we can afford to follow the loctrinaires of an impossible?and inidentall.v of a highly undesirable?soial revolution which, in destroying inlividual rights, (including property ights) and the family, would destroy he two chief agents in the advance of nankind, and the two chief reasons vhy either the advance or the preseration of mankind is worth while. It s an evil and a dreadful thing to be allous to sorrow and suffering, and rtind to our duty to do all things posible for the betterment of social conlitions. But it is an unspeakably foolsh thing to strive for this betterment >y means so destructive that they rould leave no social conditions to etter. In dealing with all these social iroblems, with the intimate relations f the family, with wealth in private tse and business use, with labor, with loverly, the one prime necessity is to emember that, though hardness of leart is a great evil, it is no greater n evil than softness of head. Special Problems and Duties. "But in addition to these problems he most intimate and important of all ,-hich, to a larger or less degree, affect, li the modern nations somewhat alike, re of the great nations that have exanded, that are now in complicated 1 elations with one another and with lien races, have special problems and pecial duties of our own. You belong a a nation which possesses the greatest mpire upon which the sun has ever hone. I belong to a nation which is rying, on a scale hitherto unexampled, r> work out the nrhhlenis of erovnrii lent for, of, and by the people, while t the same time doing the inlernaional duty of a great power. But ' here are certain problems which both f us have to solve, and as to which ur standards should be the same. The Englishman, the man of the British sles, in his various homes across the eas, and the American, both at home nd abroad, are brought into contact ,-ith utterly alien peoples, some with civilization more ancient than our wn, others still in, or having but reently arisen from, the barbarism hich our people left behind years ago. 'he problems that arise are of well- ' igh Inconceivable difficulty. They annot be solved by the foolish senti- \ lentalit.v of stay-at-home people, with ttle patent recipes, and cut-and-dried 1 henries of the political nursery which , ave such limited applicability amid j he crash of elemental forces. Neithr can they be solved by the raw bru ility of the men who, whether at home ! r on the rough frontier of civilization, dopt might as the only standard of 1 ight in dealing with ther men, and reat alien races only as subjects for xploitation. "No hard and fast rule can he drawn s applying to all alien races, because hey differ from one another far more idely than some of them differ from s. But there are one or two rules hich, must not be forgotten. In the >ng run there can be no justification nr one race managing or controlling nother unless the management and ontrol are exercised In the interest nd for the benefit of the other race, 'his is what our peoples have in the lain done, and must continue to do, in ridia, Egypt and the Philippines alike. ' 11 the next place, as regards every ace, everywhere, at home or abroad. ' re cannot deviate from the great . ule of righteousness which bids us reat each man on his worth as a man. ' re must not be sentimentally favored . ecause he belongs to a given race; e must not be given immunity in rrong-dolng or permitted to umber the ground, or given other rivileges which would he denied to he vicious and unfit among themelves. On the other hand, where he cts in a way which would entitle him r> respect and reward if he were of ur own stock, he is just as much enitled to that respect and reward if e comes of another stock, even though hat other stock produces a much mailer proportion of men of his type han does our own. This has nothing ti do with social intermingling, with ,liat is called social equality. It has 0 do merely with the question of doig to each man and each woman that lementary justice which will permit ini or her to gain from life the regard which should always accompany hrift, sobriety, self-control, respect r?r the rights of others, and hard and ntelligent work to a given end. To lore than such just treatment no man 5 entitled, and less than such treatlent no man should receive. International Duty. "The other type of duty is the interational duty, the duty owed by one at ion to another. I hold that the uvs of morality which should govern idividuals in their dealings one with he other are just as binding concerntig nations in their dealings one with he other. The application of the mor1 law must be different in the two ases, because in one case it has, and ti the other it has not, the sanotiori of civil law with force behind it.

It would be oolish indeed to pay heed to the utilise persons who desire disarmament 0 be begun by the very peoples who, f all others, should not be left helpess before any possible foe. But we nust reprobate quite as strongly both eaders and the people who practice.or ncourage or condone, aggression and niqulty bv the strong at the expense if the weak. We should tolerate lawlessness and wickedness neither by the leak nor by the strong; and both weak ind strong should in return treat with crapulous fairness.

Galileo's Telescope.?Very, few people are aware that the first practical telescope, which Galileo used in discovering the satellites of Jupiter in January, 1610, is still in existence and preserved at the Museum of Physics and Natural History in Florence. It is ahout 300 years since this instrument was first turned toward the heavens. Unlike the present astronomical type, it had a concave instead of a convex eye-piece, just like the opera glasses now in use. When Galileo first exhibited his new telescope to the Doge and an enthusiastic assembly on the tower of St. Mark's in Venice he was overwhelmed with honors because it was thought that the instrument would give the soldiers and sailors of the republic a great advantage over their enemies.?
