H. Brown was conductor on a New York Central Belt Line train tbut ran to and from the Pan American p*. position. In going through his truin one day he found a lady and her two daughters, who had been rendered temoorari'y penniless by the loss 6f her purse on the exposition grounds. Conductor Brown advanced the necessary 15 cents to pay their fare to the station where they desired to go, and then sent them to their hotel. On Friday Bfown received a letter bearing the Philadelphia postmark. When he opened it a new one-thousand dollar bill fluttered to the floor. Brown was astonished when he read the let ter, which was unsigaed. The letter recalled the exposition incident and told how the writer had been impressed with Brown's courtesy and kiLdness, and thut the bill was a remembrance of his deed.

MURDER OF A NEGRO IN 3 CHESTER. ^ Chester, dan. 6.?News reached y , here today of a most brutal mur2 dor near the home of Col. T. J. i Cunningham, some nine miles I from this city.

This money, under the > terms of the State's latest bond i issue, is set aside to form a sinking i fund for the redemption of that debt. Formerly all phosphate royf allies went inin ttio * .. uiuiu ucusury - for current expenses and, as the ) collections were very large, coni tributed materially toward keeping > do wn taxation. It is to bo rei membered in comparing the Stuto > taxes of the present time with t those of 12 years ago that a reve1 nue of $200,000 per annum has j been lost in phosphate royalties i and au expense of $200,000 per! r annum has been incurred in the I adoption of a pension system. This difference of $100,000 amounts to two mills on the doW ' lar with taxable values at $200,^ 000,000. But for it the State government could now be run with a tux o! thiee mills instead of fi/e.

V ashing ton, Jan. 6. ? Southern Democrats .are not at all pleased at the action of President Roosevelt in closing thopoutoffiee at Indiunola, Miss. Theyi^generally agree that tho ofTonders in the community should have boen punished, hut think it a hardship to make tho entire community suffer. Representative Gaines, "of Ten nossee, voiced tho general sentiment when ho said: "Tho people of Indianola may have disobeyed tho law, but that does not empower the president to suspend tho law. It is the duI ty of tho prosulent to execute and not suppress the' law. By suspending tho law creating tho postollice at Indianola ho becomes himself a lawbreaker, and lawlessly and recklessly deprives tho pa-J troLs of this ^postotlice to havej this postoffico with its usual bene tits. If he can thus stop the mail being carried nnd delivered at Indianola he can at will treat New York or any other city in the same way. If tho postmistrees at Indianola has been assaulted, or her official rights illegally interrupted or iuterforrod with, it is tho duty of tho president to enforce the laws enacted to punish the guilty offenders. I know of no law that ves tho president tho right to punish tho whole people, tho innocent and guilty, by suspending the postoffioo law establishing a delivery service at Indianola. This is a government of laws and not of men." Robbed a Merchant Tied Iliui to Bed and Set House Afire. Birmingham. Ala., .Jan. 6.?

When tho trial was had a letter was produced from tho woman to tho man in"' which she warned him "not to do what ho intended."

Her attorney Mr. Clayton, of Floienee, got all of her correspondence with Ferroll and he claims that it would absolutely have proven her innocence, but to his surprise, and everybody elae's, sho absolutely refused to take the stand, saying she was a member of a sect known as "Holiuess and Sanctified" people and that they had told her that she*should answer her accusers neither aye nor nay, for tho Lord would take caro of her and bring her out of her troublo. It didn't turn out that way, for a plain, ordinary, practical jury convicted her and she was sentenced. All of theso facts have brought out in a petition for her pat don present* ed to the governor. Ho has not yet acted ou tho case, having it under consideration. This is not the first time a petition has been presented in her behalf, but the facts stated have just been made knewn.
