mum BUILDING AT TBE WORLD'S FAIR A Reproduction of Old Castle Built by Frederick ?, of Prussia. The plans for the German National " Pavilion at the World's Fair, St Louis, have been completed, and sub? mitted to the director of Works, Isaac S. Taylor, for approval. It has been : the endea vor of the German Govern? ment to keep the architecture of the building in harmony with the Exposi? tion buildings in the immediate vicini? ty. The pavilion will be a fairly ac? curate reproduction of the central por? tion of the royal castle at Charlotten burg, near Berlin. This old castle occupies a conspicuous place in the history of German architecture. It was built about the end of the 17th century for and under the direction of Frederick I, first king of Prussia. The castle was designed by Andreas Schlueter, the greatest German architect of that period. The architecture of tbs Charlotten burg Castle is imposing. The main facade is in two stories, crowned by an enormous stilted dome. The facade of the first floor is in rustic stone. The second floor is ornamented with engaged Corinthian columns. In the center of thegfacade is a projecting bay ' crowned by a beautiful classic pedi? ment. The drum of the dome, which is also surrounded by a Corinthian engaged colonnade, is higher than one of the stories of the building. The curve of the dome is broken by six bull's eye windows and is crowned by ai towering lantern surmounted ty a sculptured figure. In the pavilion the ground floor will be used for reading, writing office and reception purposes. The second floor has been set aside for purposes of representation. It will embrace an actual reproduction^ the state rooms of the Castle of Charlottenburg. These rooms will be fitted up with precious old furniture, Goelirs, and silver ornaments, the products of bygone days. In a separate building but con? nected with it will be a restaurant and a "Kneipstude," a combination of smoking room, -drinking room, restau? rant and fraternal society lodge room. This subsidiary building will harmonize completely, with the architecture of the main structure and will be connected with it by. an alley. GALLED BB""I MrTHL" \-_ Lord Salisbury's Absentminded? ness Has Queer Manifestation. A London cablegram to The New York Sun says: Many stories have been told about Lord Salisbury's absent-mindedness and strange mis? takes in identifying vvell known per? sons combined with a supreme indiffer? ence for all with whom he finds -himself in company. The latest of these stories which has gone the rounds this week tells of an incident which occurred at the King's levee on Monday. Lord Salisbury was present and was standing, apparently ? wrapped in thought, among a crowd of distinguish? ed men, when the bishop of London approached and greeted him. To the surprise and chagrin of the latter Lord Salisbury failed utterly to recognize him and the bishop was forced to ex? plain who he was and to recall to the former Prime Minister the fact that he had appointed him bishop of Lon? don in 190L Later, on, when the bishop was con? versing with the King, he expressed regret that Lord Salisbury was ap? parently unable to recognize his friends, and told whai had happened. The Kir g laughed heartly and said : ' * ' He lias treated me worse than that. Not long ago, while having an audience with me, he gave a beautiful example of thinking aloud. On a table close tb his lordship stood a photograph of myself. Lord Salisbury, taking it up, gazed at it for a few moments and then remarked, 'Poor old duffer; I wonder if he is as stupid as he looks.' " Eon. Henry St George Tucker, of Lexington, Va., has been elected dean of the school of law, jurisprudence and diplomacy of the Columbian Universiity in Was? hington. It was nt until the autumn of 1870 that the first diamond was found on the present site of Kimberley, says a writer in the Cosmopolitan. There was a shallow, circular depression, known as Dutoitspan, on tbe edge of which a farmer named Van Wyk lived in a cabin plastered with mud. This hut had no architectural pretensions, but, in its way, it went beyond the luxury of .Fifth avenue, for the mud with which it was daubed was sprinkled with diamonds. One day Van Wyk's children prospected the plastering of their home and ex? tracted several gems. The farmer and his friends bean digging at the spot from which the mud had been taken and found more diamonds. Miners swarmed in, and a new camp, called Dorstfontein, sprang up. In June, of the next year, the Kimberley mine proper-one of the four great deposits that form the present Kimberley group -yielded its first dian_ond. Paper gloves and stockings are now being manufactured in Europe. As to the manner in which the former is made little is known, but the stock? ings have been carefully examined by experts, and they are loud in their praise of them. It is claimed that they will last almost as long as ordinary stockings. The reason, they point out, is because the paper of which they are made, was during the process of manufcture transformed intoa substance closely resembling wool, and was then woven and other? wise treated as ordinary wool. Bennettsville, May 26.-The novelty works of W. P. Breeden, Jr., on the edge of the town were totally destroy? ed by fire last night. The loss is $6, 000, with no insurance. Sparks, driven by a strong, south wind, threatened the town, but a spread was finally prevented. The Masons of Florence at an early day will erect a temple to cost $10,000. The lot has already been purchased and arrangements perfected. The Presbyterian Church of Florence will erect a new church building at a cost cf $5,000. THE BIRMINGHAM ROBBERY. Two Young Wen Arrested, and it is Said a Third Arrest will be Made. Birmingham, Ala, May 27.-City detectives claim to have unravelled the mystery of the $7,000 robbery of the union depot ticket office in this city, which occurred on May 16. As a rs sult two yoting men, one of them be? ing the son of J. M. Bibb, superin? tendent of -bridges and buildings of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, have been arested and are now in jail. No one will be allowed to see them and not even the name of the second man arrsted can be ascertained. It is claimed that the robbery was accom? plished by boring a hole through the ceiling over the ticket office from a vacant room on the second floor of the union depot and through this hole the robbers looked through a magnifying glass and watched the employees of the office work the safe combination. It is said that on the night of the rob? bery they entered the office while the night ticket seller was asleep and worked the safe combination. The detectives expect to recover all the money and also to make a third arrest RECANTS FROM FREE SILVER. Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews no Lon ger Believes in the Heresy. Lincoln, Neb., May 26.-Free silver has lost an advocate in the person of Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews. The Chan? cellor of the University of Nebraska, in an address before the class in eth? ics, the largest in the university, practically announced that he no long? er entertained the views he had once held concerning silver coinage. This change in views had been gradual in development, but it was now fixed and definite. In company with many others a few years back Chancellor Andrews said he had been misled by the arguments of public men, and particularly by a celebrated geologist of Europe, who had, after much study and investiga? tion, announced that the supply of gold was being exhausted and the world's mines would soon cease to yield a sufficient quantity of that metal. This made it necessary that there be another standard of value. Time had proved the prophecy of the geologist to bejfalse. Instead of lessening, said the chancellor, the output of gold had greatly increased and the supply now seemed inexhaustible, and as a result prices of commodities, instead of go? ing to a lower level, had constantly appreciated. Chancellor Andrews did not enter into the political phase of the question. Since coming to Nebraska he has been conservative in all his utterances in connection with his former hobby, nor was undue stress given to his ap? parent conversion in his address. Four Sudden Deaths. Edgefield, May 27.-The sad intelli? gence reached here today that Mr. Davis D. Padgett, county supervisor of Edgefield, dropped dead.' in a store in the city of Augusta at 8 o'clock this morning. Fatty degeneration of tlie heart was the immediate cause of his death. DonnaJds, May 26.-Ed Gordon, a young man 18 years old and son of James Gordon, a prominent farmer of this section, died very suddenly yes? terday evening. He was apparently in perfect health until he fell in the yard and in a few moments was dead. Dr. Jno. A. Robinson, a prominent physician of Little River, this county, died of apoplexy this morning. Dr. Robinson - was sitting at a table writ? ing when he fell from his chair dead. News, has just reached here of an? other sudden death. Mr. Wm. Taylor of Antreville dropped dead yesterday evening. His death is attributed to heart failure. Here is a pointed paragraph from the Philadelphia Record: " There is a weird hint that the daily newspapers of Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other cities will make no report of the Machine State Convention at Harrisburg next week. In the absence of busy special correspondents there would be no reports of the speeches of the Machine* leaders lauding them? selves and each other and expressing approval of Gov. Pennypackers'apology for the muzzler. The convention would thus be consigned to Cimmerian gloom As the nominations of the con? vention are already slated, including that of William T. Snyder, one of the muzzlers, for Auditor General, the omission of any reports of its proceed? ings would be no loss to the public. ' ' The suggestion is worth considera? tion, lt would hurt politicians a great deal more for the purposes to ignore them entirely than to cartoon and "libel" them. Washington, May 27.-The Ameri? can men of war will go to Kiel for regatta week by order of the president as a special mark of friendship to the German emperor and in appreciation of the many courtesies he recently has shown the American people. Denver, Col, May 27.-A special to the Post from Newcastle, Wyoming, says: "W. C. Clifton, murderer of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Church, was lynched by a mob from Gillette last night. The mob battered down the jail door, holding up the sheriff and deputy the while, and hung Clifton to a bridge west of the town. Clifton's head was cut off by the fall of forty feet." Poictiers, France, May 27.-Marcel Renault, the well-known racer and maker o.. automobles, who was injured by the overturning of his machine dur? ing the first stage of the Paris Madrid race, died shortly after mid? night at Couhe Verac. Renault never recovered full consciousness from the time he was found stretched out be? side the roadway. Z Paul Blonet (Max O'Rell; died Sunday night in Paris from the effects of an operation performed last year for appendicitis. Savannah, Ga, May 26.-At Rincon, eighteen miles from Savannah, today, Dr. M. C, Wilson was shot and fatal? ly wounded by Benjamin Davis, who is 80 years old. Trouble has existed between the two men for some time. IMMIGRANT AGENTS Must Pay $500 if They do Busi? ness in the City of Anderson. The city council held a special meet? ing yesterday afternoon and passed an ordinance imposing a license of $500 on immigrant agents doing business in this city. There is already a State law requir? ing a license tax of $500 from im? migrant agents hiring laborers to go outside the State, but this ordinance seeks to place the same tax on agents employing laborers to leave Anderson and go to other points within the State. The occasion for the adoption of the ordinance was the presence of an im? migrant agent in the city who has been employing laborers to go to York county to work on a big dam being constructed on the Catawba river. Then man carried off about 40 negroes yesterday, many of whom were under contract to work for Anderson people an many of whom were owing money here. The agent said he was coming back and the city council has under? taken to keep him from doing so. Anderson Mail, May 26. KILLED LION WITH TEETH. Desperate Encounter of a Hunter in Wyoming. Landen, Wyoming, May 25.-All re? cords of hand to hand encounters with wild beasts have been smashed by An? son Sercoff, of Torrey creek canyon, who bested a mountain lion a few days ago. Sercoff was prospecting when he ran across the lion's den. Deter? mined to secure the kittens he dug a way into the den. A :? that instant the mother lioness sprang upon him and a struggle ensued. The lioness overestimated its leap and did not secure a good hold, and Sercoff was enabled to twist about and face the animal. With one hand he grasped its lower jawjin such a man? ner that it could not use its teeth, and with the other managed to cross its forefeet and hold them against his body, so that her claws could not be brought into action. Lioness and man rolled over together, and Sercoff work? ed his body in between the beast's hind legs., in this position the lioness was able to do very little with her claws. Sercoff buried his teeth in the beasts' neck and tore frantically at the flesh until he had severed the jugular vein. The lioness soon became weak and died from loss of blood. Sercoff weights only 120 pounds. ? WRECK NEAR BIRMINGHAM, Ali. Eight Men Killed, a Number Hurt and Two Trains Burned. Birmingham, Ala, May 27.-A double-header, eastbound freight, and a westbound freight on the Southern Railway, collided this morning at Bryan, twenty-two miles west of here, with the result that both trains were burned and eight men killed. Im? mediately after the collision the wreck took fire and bumed rapily. The officials of the road have not yet explained the cause of the accident, but it is alleged that an operator went to sleep on duty ad failed to deliver an order. The burning wreckage destroyed the wires and cut off com? munication for some time. Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia is very fond of a joke and in spite of his multifarious duties finds time for many amusing quips. When Bishop Spalding of Peoria visited the arch? bishop some time ago it was arranged that the Western prelate should be entertained by a lady prominent in social and charitable affairs. The arch? bishop wrote him, giving some de? tails regarding his prospective hostess, and ended his letter thus: "The lady who has all these virtues treats her husband like a brute, P. S.-She is very fond of brutes, being an officer of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals." Antwerp, May 27.-The British steamer Huddersfield, which sailed from this port yesterday evening for Grimsby, England, collided with the Norwegian steamer Uto. Huddersfield foundered. Twenty-two Austrian and Italian immigrants lost their lives. The crew were saved. It is believed the immigrants were crushed in the collision. The bows of the Uto were damaged. New York, May 27.-Four persons were suffocated to death and three others were so badly burned that it is feared they will die, in a fire early to? day in the five-story apartment house at No. 306 West 335th street. The fire is said to have been jof incendiary origin. Evergreen, Ala, May 26.-Dr. B. J. Shirley, of Moroe County, was killed today by his two brothers-in-law, David and James Smith. More than twenty-killings have occurred in the county during the past ' eighteen months. Harrisburg, Pa, May 27.-The Re? publican State convention ? today en? dorsed President Roosevelt for renom? ination and declared against any change in the present tariff schedules. The State administration was strongly endorsed and no mention was made in the platform of the Grady-Salus libel law enacted by the recent legislature. Mullins, May 26.-This morning about 1 o'clock fire was discovered in the large three-story brick tobacco plant of Schoolfield, Boatwright & Co. This plant is composed of three large buildings each separate, but connected by large fire doors. By much effort and hard work the fire was con? fined to one building, resulting in a loss of about $18,000, partly covered by insurance. The loss included about 100 hogsheads of tobacco.

SECOND CONVENTION OF THE KIND That Has Been Held in This Stale -Summary of the Address of Dr. Geddings on the Causes of Typhoid Fever and the Means of its Propagation. Columbia, May 28.-The State Sanitary Conference was called to or? der today by President Reardon, of Sumter. This was the second conven? tion that has been held. There were in attendance : E. LB earon, Sumter, president; Dr. J. M. Green, Charles? ton, secretary, and Dr. JW. Falk, quarantine officer of the port of George? town, vice president. Besides these there were present, Drs. J. W. Babcock, J. H. Burkhalter, W. J. Rivers, S. F. Williams, all of Colum? bia; E. H. Hayden, Summerville; Peter Bacot, State sanitary inspector, Charleston; F.. T. Legare, Charles? ton; George Cofield, health inspector, Spartanburg; T. Grange Simons, chairman of State board of health, Charleston; D. J. Hydrick, Orange burg; Secretary James Evana, Flor? ence ; E. F. Darby, Magnolia ; As? sistant United States Surgeon Gen? eral H. D. Geddings, Washington; G. M. Pollitzer, Charleston; James W. Corbett and W. J. Dunn, of Cam? den; J. S. Martin, Camden; J. W. Folk, Georgetown; Hall T. McGee, Charleston; Henry Horlbeck, Col. A. H. Hadyen, Summerville; T. H. Moore, Camden; M. W. Quip, Union; R. A. Lancaster and Lee G. Guerry, Frank A Coward, of Columbia. Dr.. T. Grange Simons stated that an effort had been made to have the organization recognized by th? General Assembly and that the outlook was hopeful. It was decided to have regular ses? sions from 10 to 4 o'clock, and at 4 o'clock until evening. The programme of this afternoon was largely devoted to considering papers on pure water. Papers upon this topic were read by Dr. T. Grange Simons, of Charleston, and Dr. Folk, of Georgetown. Dr. E. F. Darby, president of the South Carolina Medical Association, made an address upon sanitation, Dr. Robt Wilson, Jr, of Charleston, discussed "Malaria," urging an acceptance of the theory that this disease was com? municated to man by insects, probably the mosquito, known as anopheles. Dr. Geddings, who is sent as a re? presentative Of Surgeon General Wy? man, of the United States public health and marine hospital service, delivered a most interesting address upon water supply as related to typhoid fevers. The epidemic of typhoid fever at Plymouth, Pa, has become classical in medical history. No epidemic has been more through? ly investigated than this. The town derives its water supply from a branch of the Susquehanna River. The sur? rounding territory is largely populated. It was shown that a suburbanite was brought from Philadelphia with tpyhoid fever, in midwinter, when the ground was covered with snow. The dejecta were carelessly thrown out upon the hill side, where they re? mained until the spring thaw, which washed them down to the river, about the intake pipe of the water supply of Plymouth, and the source of the epidemic was not discovered until typhoid fever had demoralized the whole community, and doctors and nurses from other towns and cities were brought in to assist in caring for the numerous fever patients. Spring? field, Mass., which was noted for its pure water sapply, was invaded by typhoid fever in the early 90's. The source of that invasion was traced to the milk supply. Investigation show? ed that the disease was confined to a single milk route for some time. The infection took place throngh leaks in the milk cans, which had been placed in a small stream to cool. An epidemic in Savannah, in the spring of 1894, was traced to infection of the Savannah River, through a canal receiving sewerage and empty? ing into the river above the intake wa? ter pipe. Although this explanation of the epidemic was viogrously com? bated the number of new cases of typhoid fever rapidly ceased after the water of the Savannah River was cut off, and the new supply introduced from Artesian wells. Instances might be multiplied ad infinitum, proving that infection has gained access to the water supply through the dejecta of typhoid patients. The lesson tanght was that the people should be shown the necessity of guarding their water supplies and so preventing these epidemics, which are attended with great suffering and mortality. There can be no more important subject than the careful guarding of the water supply against sewerage contamina? tion. Typhoid fever is an intestinal trouble, and it is only fair to assume tb at a water supply proven to be affected by sewerage will sooner or later produce typhoid fever. What can be done to prevent it? He believed that the curse of the smaller communities is the reckless disposal of household waste and sewerage. Surface wells are means of gathering surface water. It can be shown that a surface well will drain an area equal in radius to the depth of the well ; into such wells cesspools often drain. Given one case of typhoid fever it will not take long for the water supply to become infected from dejecta teeming with typhoid germs. When rivers become infected with these germs in? nocent persons, a hundred miles down the stream may contract the disease by drinking the impure water. The time has come when the cesspool must go from a community or neighbor? hood. In some communities earth closets and chemical disinfectants will afford the greatest amount of protec? tion. Rivers should be subjected to frequent sanitary surveys. Statutes should be enacted prohibiting dejecta being placed where water supply may be contaminated. Let the shallow well be abandoned and get the water supply from deeper strata ; the deeper the supply the safer the water. Filtra? tion is one of the best means of purifica? tion. Boiled water is an excellent theory; but it is difficr.it in practice, as individuals will sooner or later drink unboiled water, and the un- ' guarded act brings catastrophe. It is so unusual and difficult to isolate typhoid germs from a suspected wa? ter supply that it may practically be regarded as impossible, but if in it is found sewerage bacteria, such as the colon bacilli, it is justifiable to infer that it is only a question of time when the typhoid infection will ap? pear in such a water supply. The re? proach of having typhoid fever in any community ought to be deeply felt, and sanitarians in a few years must expect to be upbraided unless they can check the spread of typhoid fever. Water supply cannot be regarded as the only means of infection, as was proven by the commission appointed after the Spanish-American war to ex? plain the prevalence of typhoid among the volunteers. This investigation proved conclusively that the common house fly is frequently a source of in? fection, carrying the disease germs upon its feet and in its intestinal canal. The importance of this source cannot be over-estimated, and typhoid cases should be screened to prevent the spread of the disease. Dr. T. Grange Simons's paper upon water supply was an admirable dis? cussion upon a subject of growing im? portance to this section. It dealt largely with facts and figures, and was plainly stated. Today the special committee appoint? ed to examine the sanitary condition of the State House, in consequence of Mr. Gantt's letter, inspected the buildings, closets, cellar, etc, Dr. Robert Wilson, of Charleston, and Dr. Geddings, of the. marine hospital service, went over the building with the committee appointed by Governor Heyward.-News and Courier. SUMTER AS SEEN BY A VISITOR. Old Sumter is a famous town, And all its streets with sand abound ; ' Tis well adorned with shady trees, Whose lofty boughs bend to the breeze. Its lumber plant supplies all need, With neatness and with rapid speed ; Long leaf pine logs in great number, Are furnished for all the lumber. A Telephone plant runs full time Its furnishings are superfine ; The stock in ev'ry thing's complete, No plant with this one can compete. Of plants enough has not been said, Another one works for the dead Makes finest coffins decked with grace, For mortal man's last resting place. All these have ample stock on hand, And can supply ev'ry demand; This stock will favorably compare, With any that is made elsewhere. Churches loom up for age and youth, In which is taught the way of truth ; Free Salvation to ev'ry one, Through Christ the Father's darling Son. The city schools are all first class, To train the young, nowhere surpassed ; The fire department holds high rank, Water abounds in ev'ry tank. , Now long may Sumter's banner wave, O'er fair women and heroes brave ; And when earth's toils with them are past, May " Welldone, " greet them all at last.

It has been thought that he would be unable to be present at the next term of court, thus necessitating another continuance, but unless some? thing unforeseen happens he will be on hand. It is asserted that Tillman's attorneys will be ready for a trial. Columbia Record. PLAIN PROOF. What This Gentleman Says is a Mere Statement of Facts. No one can have any reason for dis? senting from the particulars and proofs which follow, for verification of the paine is within easy reach of every resident of this vicinity. That Doan's Kidney Pills promptly and effectually cure kidney com? plaints is substantiated not only in this particular case, but by all who have given them a fair trial. Testimony likewise shows that you do not have to take them indefinitely to be cured. Walter McLachlin, a machine hand, em? ployed at J. Holliday & Sons' planing mill, Wheeling, W. Va., address 3032 Jacob street, says : "Had I not used Doan's Kid dey Pills when I did I would not be alive now. I was in a terrible condition and al? though I took quarts of medicine 1 got no better, but worse. Friends spoke of my bad appearance and thousands knew about it. I could hardly get around, and felt and locked like a dead man more than a living one. Doan Kidney Pills were a blessing to me, half a box relieved me, three boxes entirely cured me and now I feel as though my back was as strong as that of any horse in Wheeling.
