Washington, April 4.-There ia a possibility that the Government will bo represented at tho Charleston Exposition, notwithstanding tho failuro of Congress to pass tho Till man bill providing for an appropria tion of *2.r)0,000. Senator MoLau rin has hit upon a practical scheme to have tho Government exhibit, which is now being prepared for the Buffalo Exposition, also displayed at Charleston. Senator MoLaurin has been at work on this project for i somo time past and to-day called at the White House, accompanied by Senator Hanna and Senator Pritch ard, of North Carolina, and pre sented the case to tho President in an attractive form. Thc position is that although no special appropria I tion for the Charleston Exposition ?bas been made for a Government I exhibit, it may be feasible, under existing circnm8t'?:)ces, to secure by Executive order, or otherwise, au thority to have tho Government exhibits now being prepared by the agricultural department and tho interior department, for the Buffalo enterprise, transferred to Charleston at the conclusion of that Exposition. Senator McLuurin urged that tho Buffalo Exposition will havo ended before thc Charleston Exposition opens. Instead of having the Gov ernment exhibits immediately re turned to Washington they may bo shipped to Charleston and displayed there while the latter Exposition continues. Tho proposition appeared to impress the President favorably, and Senator MoLaurin's statements were reinforced by Senators lianna and Pritchard. At the conclusion of thc interview thc President ex pressed a friendly disposition to wards the Charleston enterprise, and stated that bc would take pleasure in having tho subject thoroughly investigated, so that if it is possible to lind in the law, rules, regulations i or practice anything to justify or i permit transferring thc exhibit to Charleston it will bc cheerfully done. The President added that ho would 1 take particular pains to bring the matter to tho attention of Score- ; taries Wilson and Hitchcock at to morrow's Cabinet meeting, and ex pressed the hope that the way may be opened to grant Senator McLau- ' rin's appeal. It is well known that 1 Secretary Wilson earnestly desired I to have an imposing Governmental exhibit at the Charleston Exposition, i and he exerted himself in behalf of the Tillman bill while the subject was under consideration in Congress. If there is any way by which the expense of the transfer and thc care 1 of it wdiilo in Charleston can bc i provided for under existing law it is ? safe to assume that Secretary Wil- | son can he relied upon to lend his valuable aid, Senator MoLaurin is i conscious of having made tho effort , at any rate, and it was to give addi tional force to bis request that bc invited Senators Hanna and Pritch- ' ard to accompany him to thc White House. ! --- ... - . - J i Mvidend ! ed a new system in our cash Customers ize a dividend. Be eek for the amount lase and read both n and let us explain BAUKNICHT. i, S. C. he Government Exhibit at the ;en to Charleston Also, NO 0AMNJ?T CONSIDERATION. I Senator MoLaurin's proposition to have the Buffalo exhibit transferred I to tho Charleston Exposition was not considered at tho Cabinet meet ing to-day. Secretary Wilson in referring to tho subject said : "I do not bclievo it will bo necessary to have Cabinet action on tho subject. I am convinced that wo havo ample authority, backed up by several precedents, to send tho li off alo ex hibit to Charleston if it is doomed advisable to do so by tho depart ments interested. I ii my judgment it is too carly to agitato tho question at this time. Later on, when wo havo had time to look into tho sub ject and see what provision can be made for defraying tho expenses of transportation and obtaining assur ances from tho managers of tho Charleston Exposition that tho Gov ernment exhibit will bc properly cared for, and returned to Washing ton in good shape, it will be timo enough to take official action at this end of tho lino. Tho principal ques tion involved is whether there is any money in the treasury available to meet the necessary expenses for transportation. Perhaps the mana gers of the Charleston Exposition may bc willing to supply tho trans portation and meet snell other ex penses as may be incurred from their own treasury. "In that event I do not see how any reasonable objection could bc raised to the transfer. The Buffalo peoplo certainly will not object, and if tba interests of tho Government are protected th ero should be no hesitation on tho part of tho Govern ment in lending its assistance to the Charleston enterprise to tho extent indicated." Senator MoLaurin expects to have a consultation with Secretaries Wil son and Hitchcock to-morrow to dis cuss some of the details of the propo sition. Secretary Long is heartily in favor of# tho Government exhibit being sent to Charleston and promises Lo do anything in his power to further that object, or in any other way to promote tho interests of the Exposi tion. Ile says there is a very friendly disposition towards Charles ton in tho heart of tho Administra Lion and he expresses the hope that Lho energetic citizens who are pro moting the Exposition will meet with a full measure of success they so well deserve. When the proposition to transfer the Government exhibit to Charles ton was mentioned to Senator Depew, chairman of thc exposition committee, ho exclaimed : "That is a capital idea. I ara in favor of it And I will do everything in my power to assist Charleston. In my judgment tho Charleston Exposition is the most meritorious measure of Lho kind that carno before Congress. lt simply asked for a Government exhibit at the Exposition and there was no demand or request for a subsidy. On its merits it is a clean, straight-forward business proposi tion, which should have appealed to tho patriotism of every member of Congress. So anxious am I to assist in this matter that I will cheerfully aid Senator MoLaurin and Senator Tillman and the good peoplo of Charleston to secure tho Government exhibit. If there is a question as to tho defraying the expenses of the transfer I would be in favor of the Administration assuming tho au thority for tho transfer and depend upon Congress to make up tho defi ciency next winter. The plan, to my mind, is practical and feasible, and I hopo that Secretaries Wilson abd Hitchcock will seo their way clear to have their departments represented at Charleston in tho most creditable manner. When we consider tho interest such an exhibit will arouse and the educational benefits to be derived by the people who attend that Exposition the amount of money involved in the transaction is bul trilling. I sin cerely trust that tho project will bo pushed forward to successful issue and Charleston may count on mo to stand by her." -* . ^ "I had pilos SO bad I could get no rest nor find a cure until I tried Dewitt's Witch Hazel Salve.

As has been customary, thc night cashier leaves about ono o'clock, and thc money subsequently taken in at thc cafe is placed by the watchman in one of tho office draw ers. At 4 o'clock the head ?night bell man reported that two white men came to tho front door, which waa locked, and, posing as guests, de manded admission. Thc watchman was at thc time making tho call of thc carly morning help. Believing that the men, who were fashionably dressed, were tourists and guests of tho hotel, tho boll-man opened tho door. Once inside, ac cording to thc boil-man's story, guns wore drawn and tho bell-man mado to throw up his hands in front of a pistol. Tho other robber hurried behind tho counter, pried open tho door, and secured the money, $53. The two men then backed out, koop ing tho bell-man covered until on the outside, when they made a dash down the street. Ofllcors of tho hotel wero imme diately called, and in a few minutes all the city detectives wero working on the case. -4 . - You cannot enjoy perfect health, rosy 11 chocks,sparkling oyo? if your iivor is sing-1 gish and your bowels clogged.

I dare t icruso it sometimes, especially "Th Visdom of Jesus, tho Son c liraohy' which is called IDcclrsiasticm phioh has fifty chapters and is ti all of maxims and morals and ir truction for tho family as aro th 'roverbsof Solomon. Addison say hat if this book had been left iti th anon, or if it had the name of som rent Creek philosopher, it woul ave commanded tho admiration t ?ankind. To my mind it is th ondensntion of wisdom for famil overnmont. It is as pointed an nugent ns anything that Solomo vcr wrote. This Jesus was a bette ian than Solomon. Ho lived an /roto ?100 years after Malachi, tl int of tho prophets. In tho eloso < is narrative concerning Moses an he Fact that Unmarried Men 1 with Unselfishness? tho prophets, ho says of Solomon : "By his body he was brought into subjeotion and did'st stain his honor and pollute his seod and brought wrath upon his children, and his kingdom was divided." I novor did havo a profound admiration for a man who said, "Rejoice, oh, young man, in tho wifo of thy youth, and bo thou always ravished with hor love," and thon goes off and marries 800 wives and takes 700 concubines. His precepts were good, but his ex ample was bad, very bad. My doc trine has always boen that a man has no moro right to two wives than a woman has to two husbands. Lot him stand by his marriage vows. This is the injunction of Jesus, tho Son of Sirach. As a sample of His wisdom lot mo quote : "A man that breaketh his wedlook, saying, 'Who secth me ; am I not compassed about with darkness,' ho forgotteth that tho eyes of tho Lord aro ten thousand times brighter than tho sun." "Blessed is he who hath a virtu ous wife, for tho number of his days shall be doubled." "A silent and loving woman is a gift from tho I >rd." "A fool will peep in at tho door of the house, but ho that is well nur tured will staud without." "Do not banquet upon borrowed money." "Commend not a man for his out ward appearance, for many kings have sat down upon tho ground, and one that was never thought of hath worn tho crown." "A friend cannot be known in prosperity, and an enemy cannot be hid in adversity." . "Uso not much the company of a woman who is a singer lest thou bo oaptured with her voice." "Rp-' iee not over thine enemy when ho is dead." "Lend not to him who is higher than thyself, but if thou lendest oount it lost." "Sit not down with the wifo of another man in thine arms, for it will bring theo to destruction." "My son, help thy father in his old ago and thou shalt have joy in thine own children." "Have no fellowship with those who aro mightier and richer than thyself, for how can the earthen ket tle and the pot agree." "When a rich man speaketh every man holdeth his tongue and extol it to tho clouds, but if a poor man speak, they say, 'What fellow is this?'" "Build not a house with another man's monoy, for it is like gathering stones for tho tomb of thy burial." "A thief is bettor than a common liar." "Accustom not thy month to swearing nor to tho naming of tho Holy One." "Against him that is niggard of his moat his neighbors shall murmur." "Koop a sure watch over a shame less daughter lest she make theo a laughing stook and a byword in tho city and a reproach among thy poo plo." Whether this ',)ok be inspired or not, it is full of devotion to God and gratitude for His goodness. Tho Old Testament Ilobrows canon was made up and closed beforo this Jesus lived or perhaps Ecclcsinsticus would have boen embraced in it. It is cer tainly ontitled to as much considera tion as Solomon's Songs, for thero is not a vulgar or lascivious expression in it.

Y., there was an inspector of army supplies, wiio was called by all tho young people in the place "Unelo Sam." After lie had inspected boxes ami l?ales of goods, to signify that they belonged to tho government, ho would mark them "U. S." A friend, who was a great joker, de clared, however, that ho was only marking them with his own initials. Sn t'ney began to term tho bales and boxes "Uncle Sam's" goods. This term soon reached tho men in tho army, and thoy, too, bogan to spook of tho arrival of "Undo Sam's" bales and boxes. In timo tho nam o was transferred from tho individual to the government.
