"My watch does go queerly," she said, as she began fumbling at her v?* vex?. In a minute there was a little rustle and then a click on the floor. She picked up the watch quite as a matter of course and passed it to the jeweler, who stood aghast. "It keeps all sorts of time," she said sweetly. The jeweler surpressed his feelings and only remarked mildly : "A watch needs very careful handling. "Ob, I'm ever so careful with mine. I always carry it iDside my dress, so that it won't get scratched. I ought to have brought it here before, it has been going so badly ; but I left it under my pillow the other morning, and Mary changed the bed, and it got into the laundry. It wasn't boiled, you know ; just soaked a little while." "I fear, miss, we shall be oblighed to charge you for adjusting the watch. It seems to be in a bad way." "Oh, I think it is too bad. It was warranted for a whole year, and here I've bad it only about a week, and I have hardly used it all."?London Answers. In an English Restaurant.? James Russell Lowell was a great student of dialect. One day, while in England, he entered a South Shields restaurant, and sat down opposite a barefooted Shields yokel who had been walking and whose feet were tired. "Waiter, he said, "bring me a steak and fried potatoes." rr>u" "" 'oi looncd Rio elhnwR unon ? LIC JUO.V-. ? the table. "Bring me yan tee," he said. "Bring me a cup of coffee and rolls," continued Lowell. "Bring me yan tee," said the yokel. "And, John, you may bring me a bootjack," said Mr. Lowelj. "Bring me yan tee," added the yokel. "Why, what on earth can you want with a bootjack ?" asked Lowell, surprised into asking the question. The retort nearly took away his breath. "Gan oway," ye fule," said the yokel," d'ye think I oanna eat a bootjack as 'ell as ye?"--Tbe Argonaut. Sigsbe's Present to Dewey. ? A Germantown girl who usually gets things mixed, was the victim of a hoax one evening last week. "Here's a puzzle for you to work out," said a friend of hers, banding over a slip of paper on which appeared the following, which she said might be translated into a complete sentence: B. B. B. B. B.

Yeserday, about 2 o'clock, the residence, ervant's bouse and well bouse of Mr. i. G. Mcllwain at this place were toally consumed by fire. The fire was if accidental origin and originated rom a defective stove flue. When liscovered a small flame was issuing rom the roof of the cook room by the ide of the stove flue. The alarm was ;iven and heroic work was done ; but o no avail so far as saving the resi lence was concerned. Some of the urniture was saved; but was badly lamaged. Mr. Mcllwain's loss is bout $2,000 or $2,500, with $1,000 inurance on the building; but no iosurnee on furniture. For a while Mr. jazenby's residence was in imminent langer; but the colored hook and ladler company stuck manfully to their iost and it was saved.

CLEVELAND?The Shelby Aurora, lay 16: I. ?. Rollins, oue of No. 's oldest and most highly esteemed itizens, died May 5, at the advanced ged of 87 years. He was a worthy nd consistent member of Palm Tree lethodist church, having been au acve member of same for many years, 'he old Christian warrior has fought good fight and is now at rest. 'roceedings were instituted last week y creditors of O. L. McFarland, a rominent young merchant of this lace, resulting in the closing of his oors and the appointment of a temorary receiver in the person of C. C. llanton. We are informed that the ssets are about $2,500 with liabilities pproximating $6,000. The friends of ais young merchant sympathize with im in his misfortune. We learn aat two more cases of smallpox have eveloped in the Clay family near 'allston. It will be remembered that be other case in that section was that f a member of this same family, 'here is no danger of contagion as the wo new cases just reported were aleady in the detention house when the ases developed. The victims are doig very well as the disease is not of a iolent type. Our citizens were Lartled Thursday morniug by the reort that J. F. Curry, a resident of this lace, had shot himself with suicidal jtent. It was only too true. When itizens eutered his home he was found /ing on the bed with blood gushing om au ugly wound in the side of his ead. A victim of consumption, he ad been a quiet sufferer for some lonths and was already very near the orderland. Weary of the hopeless Lruggle, wrecked in body and health, e decided to hasten the end. On the loruing of the tragedy, he told his hildren he wanted to rest, and sent hem all out of the room except one ttle fellow, about 10 years of age. Ie then asked this one to hand him is pistol. The boy unconscious of his ither's intent was an innocent actor 1 the tragedy about to be enacted, is he handed his father the weapon e playfully said: "Don't shoot me apa." The father then told the boy 3 go out of the room a few minutes, mmediately following the child's exit, he sharp crack of a revolver was eard and the children rushing into the oom were terrinea 10 nun ineir uniorLinate father weltering in his own lood. He tried to shoot himself lirough the temple, but the pistol beig a self-acting one, the effort to pull be trigger moved the weapon so that he ball entered the skull in front of he right ear, ranged upward, tearing ragged path through the skull, hence through the head of the bed and striking the wall. When the be children entered the room he was still I holding the pistol trying with feeble it . grasps to fire it the second lime ; hut at his strength was insufficient for the to ; task and be fell over unconscious, to i Dr. Evans McBtayer was quickly sum- to j moned and upou examination found in < the wouud not a necessarily fatal one; th ) hut the shock, together with the loss to > of blood and bis frail health and weak st condition, proved fatal.

Morris, the well- ^ 1 known insurance man, was exchanging f reminiscences with me the other day, :r< when something was said about Stepben A. Douglas. "You know that Douglas," said Mr. Morris, "like many y1 1 great statesmen of his day, sometimes ! drank to excess, and in bis follies with ?>' the boys, forgot all about senatorial !a ' dignity. I saw him gloriously drunk '8 1 in a little Illinois town in 1859, after 1 be bad made a great speech. "The senator at that time had an iron constitution. He could work be harder and drink more than any of his Jai contemporaries, and his excesses did ,n not muddle bis head nor tangle his co legs. . "In this Illinois town he lost his 1,1 equilibrium for once. ' ' '' 30 "After drinking many hours with ^ei scores of old topers?drinking champagne, brandy and whisky, the 'Little ?n Giant' unexpectedly collapsed. I8t "A moment before he stood like a ca granite statute. Then, without the ly slightest warning, he was a shapeless bi' lump of boozy humanity, lolling in a r#el big arm chair. "q "The reckless revelers had just P'1 sense enough to know that Douglas was drunk, and their next step was a practical joke, which was a disgrace to be the town. "In front of a drug store stood a big .' stuffed bear. The drunken mob pulled cli him down. They ripped him open and pulled out the stuffing. "It was 2 o'clock in the morning, tic and the sober citizens then on deck were too few in number to do any- th' thing. "The town boys had their way. coi They jammed the unconscious senator into the bear skin and stitched it up. to] "Theu they propped the horrid figure in a large chair in the hotel Lh< lobby and stood around it in a state of wild and noisy hilarity until daylight, he "Occasionally the bear would give a lurch forward; but the bystauders to straightened him up again. The do senator's snorts and grunts were so ? decidedly bearish that the boys were delighted. i "In the early morning hours, when _ the bear left his chair and gave chase to his tormenters, swearing at them in good, old-fashioned AngloSaxon, the tipplers went into spasms of glee, and it was difficult to induce them to rip open the bear skin and put the furious senator to bed. "That was the meanest practical joke I ever saw," said Mr. Morris in conclusion, "but it was also the funniest. "Only a very great man could have outlived it. But Douglas was such a genuine patriot, and a man of such _ remarkable ability, that the people J gladly overlooked bis little indiscre- a lions.?Atlanta Constitution. DISPENSARY IN CHARLESTON. A Correspondent Declare* the Experiment a Failure and a Farce. The special correspondent of the Baltimore News, who has been traveling through the south, writes as follows from Charleston : A - 2? * 5 PnotltPA nf f hfl PlflT !Q All lULCICOUUg icaiuiv v. v.. v. .. the dispensary law. As is known, the I slate bottles all its liquors and sells to 1= the consumer through dispensaries W located in villages and cities. There ' = are 10 or 12 in Charleston, I believe. Whiskey is sold for from 10 cents a half a pint up. The bottles are die- ? played in the window and the goods are sold over a counter like any other wares. They do a thriving busiuess, particularly in the afternoon just be- _ fore sundown, as the dispensary closes T at sunset. There is a constant stream J[ of purchasers on a Saturday afternoon, principally negroes. They buy a half p pint of whiskey for 10 cents, put it in ^c their pocket, go around the corner, and r take a drink. The sales from one dispensary in Charleston amounted to ^ more than $50,000 last year. But the dispensary is not the only be place in Charleston where the thirsty may be refreshed. The "blind tiger" flourishes in abundance. As a matter of fact, saloons are about as plentiful as they are in other cities and they run just about as openly. They are as open in the hotels as if there were no _ law against them. A place may be raided at 12 o'clock and it will be opened at 12.15. The law is a perfect farce, largely because public sentiment V ru 1 ?* tr\ if. onH u/ill "nc in i^nariesiou is u^jjuscu i? > ? ..... ^.j not countenance its enforcement. At un( a leading hotel thesalooD-keeper, talk- TE ing about raids, said : "O ! yes they TH raid me; but they don't get much. A few bottles of beer are captured which c we leave about for that purpose. Now, eve there's a bottle of brandy, I wouldn't leave that out because its worth a dol- yoi lar: You see, I hide it. If a constable yp should come in I'd set him up to cigars, let him take a dozen bottles of J :er, and everything would be lovely." Hiding liquor seems to be covering with a piece of cloth or putting it lywhere not in plain view. It seems be contrary to the etiquette of a raid take anything that is not in sight or look about to see if there is liquor the place. A place may be raided iree times a week without losing all Id an hour's business. Out iu the ate, however, the system works betr and there is not the wholesale viotion of law. Manufacture of Shotguns.?It in be said that the year 1899 has been ie best that American gun-makers ive ever seen. The various factories id all of the orders they could hane, and no slock on hand to start with, is safelv estimated that 60.000 dou e-barrel shotguns were produced by merican makers during the year 599. Of this amount nearly 70 per int. were of the bammerless style; esides the double guns turned out lily, two factories making single-barI repeating shotguns were worked to II capacity. It is estimated that 30,)0 guns of this description were proiced during the year 1899. In addon to these guns it has been stated at not less than 100,000 cheap singleirrel guns were made, which retailed 0m $5 to $10. These guns are mosttbe products of concerns in the New ogland states ; but it is claimed that e Eemingtou Arms Company proice about one-fourth of the number ven above. The Winchester Repeatg Arms Company, New Haven, Conn, considered the largest concern proicing firearms in the world. Against Suggestions.?The Newirry Prohibitionists, at their meeting st Saturday, adopted the following, troduced by Mr. A. C. Jones, the unty chairman. Resolved, 1st. That it is the sense of is conference that no nominations or ggeStio'ns be toatfe at the state conrence in Columbia on the 23d instant. 2ud. That men of high character ly be voted for by the Prohibitions in the primary ; Provided, that no ndidate for any office, state or coun, shall receive the votes of the Prohition Democrats who do not rep3ent and advocate their views on the [uor question as expressed in their itform of 1898. . 3d.
