Senator McLaurin in a Fight. "Washington, May 9.-Thers was a Bvely and exciting scene in the corri? dor of one of the hotels in this city in which, Senator McLaurin of South Carolina figured. The senator was sit? ting in the dining room with a gentle? man when he became the object of some offensive attention from a man whose name the senator refuses to dis? close and who, the senator says, was under the influence of liquor at the time. Shortly after this the senator and his friend left the dining room and went to the cigar stand. While standing there the man who had fol? lowed the senator from the dining room approached him, whereupon Mr. McLaurin knocked him down. The man's friends came to his assistance and ended the scene by hustling him away. The senator was not struck. There were no arrests. Won't Follow Advice After Faying For lt. In a recent article a prorninent physi? cian says. uIt is next to impossible for the physician to get his patients to carry out any prescribed course or hygiene or diet to the smallest; he has but one resort left, namely the drug treatment. When medi? cines ere used for chronic constipation, the most mild and gentle obtainable, such as Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver Tablets, should be employed. Their use is not fol? lowed by constipation as they leave the bowels in a natural and healthy condition. For sale by Dr. A. J. China. A Snifliaer Without Xights. To the summer visitor in. Sweden there is nothing more striking ihnn.tbe almost total absence of night At Stock? holm, the Swedish capital, the sun goes down a few minutes before 10 o'clock and rises again four hours later during a greater part of the month of June. But the four hours the sun lies hidden in the frozen north are not hours of darkness. The refraction of his rays as he passes around the north pole makes midnight as light as a dendy midday and enables one to read the finest print without artificial light at any time dur? ing the "night" e The Xames of Two Cities. On the principle of "In Rome do as the Romans do" ? think it a safe rule to pronounce the name of a place as the residents of that place do, says a writer. Hence we should speak of St Louis as though it were written "St Lewis," not "St Louee." All good Mis? sourians say "St Lewis." It is a little difficult to put down in black and white the local pronunciation of New Orleans, but it is something like this, "New Awl-yins," with the strong ac? cent on the "Awl." * An Appropriate Text. A preacher in an eastern city was a Utile fellow, so little that a box had to be hastily brought from the cellar for him to stand on. The services pro? ceeded safely until the sermon, when he mounted the box*and announced his text "A little while ye shall see me, and a little while and ye shall not see me." At this point the box broke, and the prophecy was verified amid the smothered laughter of the congrega? tion. - Two Sides. i "You'd make a pretty good clerk,** taid the employer sarcastically, "if you only had a little more common sense." "Indeed!" replied the clerk. "But did it ever occur to you that if I had a lit? tle more common sense I wouldn't be a clerk at all?"-Philadelphia Record. First Business Lesson. "What is the "first thing a young busi? ness man should leam?" was asked of the successful one. "That mailing bills is nGt collecting raoney," was the prompt reply.-In? dianapolis NeWS, 8?^*** A Great Pity. *Ihe Scotch are great users of snuff, lt was a Scotchman who once asked a big nosed stranger if he took snuff and, receiving a negative reply, remarked: **What a pity.

"I thought all the toasts tonight were to be of a light and amusing nature?" "They are." "But you have Rinks down for a topic that is decidedly heavy and se? rious."

Congress Will Net Attempt to Reg? ulate Labor in Mills. Washington, May S.-At a meeting of the house judiciary committee it was decided that when the proposed amendment to the constitution of Representative Lovering, of Massa? chusetts, was taken up. giving con? gress power to establish uniform hours of labor throughout manufactories in the United States, it should be laid aside with unfavorable report. This action would have been taken by the committee today but for the absence of Representative Powers., of Massa? chusetts, who has the measure in charge for Representative Lovering. One. of courtesy to Representative Powers final acci?n on the measure was postponed until the meeting of the commimtee. Rear Admira! Sampson Dead. Washington, May 6.-Rear Admiral ' William T. Sampson, retired, died at his home in this city at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The immediate cause of deann was a severe cerebral hemor rhaeg. He had been in a semi-con? scious state for several days and this forenoon suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage. At the bedside when the admiral breathed his last were Mrs. Sampson, Airs, Cluverious, the admiral's married daughter: Admiral Sampson's two young sons, Ralph and Harold Sampson, Dr. Dixon and the attending physician and nurses and attendants. Mrs. Sampson had broken down under the severe strain and was quite ill all during the day. But for the critical condition of the admiral she would have been confined to her bed. A Prisoner's Sad Plight. Greensboro, N. C., May S.-One of the strangest and most comical jail escapes on record is reported from Winston. J. T. Wilton, was in jail for safe keeping, * having been'sent there for violating Uncle Sam's law relating to revenue on distilled "spirits." It seems that Wilton was not only very corpulent, but very artful. He "over suaded" George Ham and Will Hull, two county prisoners, to work a hole through the brickwork of the wall, with a small blade he is said to have secreted in a slot made for that pur? pose -in his shoe sole. Supervised by architect Wilfon, George and Bill took turns in the tedious work, and did the job according to plans and specifications. When the exit was in readiness, the contractor sampled it, and found to his horror that he had either miscalculated his own or the hole's dimensions, for he [stuck fast. Instead of getting ont, he was glad to prevail on George and Bill to pull him back in. Telling his trusty servitors to hold on until he got a light to make a wider circle for their enterpris? ing labors in his behalf, Wilton went to his bunk 'co find a match, and the first thing that struck his vision when he had lit up the subterranean darkness of the prison, was a hole in the wall and nothing more. George and Bill had followed his repeated in? structions to be-quick and quiet, and had quickly and quietly slipped through'the aperture, carrying with them the unskilled architect's only tool. Alter a rigid search for the escaped prisoners veste, .ay, the sheri ? met one in the r>c... coming back. It was Bill, who said he had no idea of stay? ing away, a. \c *??d "jess bin home to see how dx_ ol. oman an ehillern wuz er gittin on, an lowed hit wuz bout time fur his turnment, " About five miles from town a deputy found a man sitting in the road, and he found that it was George. George declaerd he "wern't looking fur the officer un? der an hour y it. " "I jess runced away furn dat- white man in jail, and whilst I was out thought I'd jess as well cum out here'n git a clen shut, and a piece er money i lef out here when I was fust accu sated er de fence dey erested me on. Effyou hadn't culil ter day, I wuz going ter look fer you myself ter mor? row" quoth George, as he gladly touched the stirrup, and congratulated hjmself on having a rice on his return journey. Mr. Wilton is still boarding at the same place, but George and Bill asked to be put in a safer place, so they are not rooming on the same floor any more. The jailer says that when Mr. W:;lton saw George returning with a "clean shut" and no traces of brick dust on him, his remarks were more emphatic and warm than scriptural. Hampton's Slaves Numerous. Every child of the South born be? fore 1ST0 has heard the phrase "Rich as Wade Hampton," because it surviv? ed many years after the fortunes of war had made Gen. Hampton a poor man. It survived by force of habit. And perhaps there is not in thc South a son or daughter o:: a former slave? owner past five and thirty who does not recall the story of Wade Hampton and his slave. The story ran that Wade Hampton was riding along a highway that led through one of Iiis numerous planta tins when he met a "iikelv" negro "fellow"-"likely" is an old South ernism meaning fine, and, with "fel? low," was applied alone to first-class slaves. He drew rein and accosted the slave thus : " You are a likely fellow-whom do you belong to?" * Wade Hampton, sir." "Ahl And who is Wade Hampton':" "Please, sir, master, you mus' be from de Norf, "case Mas Wade Hamil? ton is de berrv fust gemmun in de Sour*." The story used to be told to illus? trate the greatness in numbers of Wade Hamilton s slaves:' his own slaves did not know him by sight that is, hundreds and thousands of them did not-The Birmingham, Ala., Age-Herald. Washington, .May 0. - Gen. Chaffee has cabied the war debarment that he has rescinded the order for the estab? lishment of reconcentration camps in Laguna and Batangas jprovinces, the only provinces in the Philippines where the system has been practiced. These provinces lie on the south shores of Laguna de Bay and are about ferry miles distant from Manila. m MOSE BEAUMONT GUSHERS. Spouting of Texas Oil Wells Ceases After Recent Earthquakes. *: Houston, Tex., May 9.-The gush? ers of the Beaumont oil fields have quit gushing:. The gushing ceased some days ago, following tthe Central American earthquake. Since the Lucas gusher was struck, more than a year ago, 500 spouters had been brought in. Those last developed ap? peared to possess the remarkable vital? ity of the first, and so far as noted there was no diminution in force or output. The settling down of the field has come much more suddenly than most conservative oil men expected The effect on oil stocks was marked, there being a great slump in a number of companies. The public failed to under? stand the reason why, as the facts were withheld. The future of th? field is still regarded as bright, as oil exists in abundance, but artificial means must be counted upon to remove it in? stead of natural forces.

At the conclusion of the performance of "The Merchant of Venice" at Bing? hamton, N. Y., on Saturday evening Mme Modjeska gave a request recep? tion on the stage to a number of young women who represent the lead? ing families of the city. Mme Mod? jeska took the occasion to discourage any of tho young women who might have theatrical bees in their bonnets. The actress told them that '1 fame won on the stage is as. tasteless as the apples of Sodom." Mme Modjeska also impressed on them that stage life was an unreality, filled with glittering hopes that never materialized : hard work that seemed unproductive, no matter how hard the labor expended and unappreciated efforts that have caused many a broken heart Then she said that she would not advise any young lady to take the stage for a career.
