tumorous department. Thiy Paid Hint. Senator Hawley was stopped by three women in one of the Capitol corridors one day. Two of the women were young and pretty. The third was a stately dame, who surveyed the senator through her lorgnette and said patro- 1 nlzingly: "My good man, are you fa- ^ miliar with the Capitol?" "Reasonably so," replied Senator ^ Hawley. "I have been here many ^ years." " "Well, we understand there is a 1 beautifully decorated room at this end r of the building. Can you direct us to 8 it?" h "I presume you mean the president's v room," replied Senator Hawlcy. "If c you will come with me I shall be very 1 glad to show it to you." The senator led the party into the s president's room, explained the decora- 1 tlons and then said: "The room of the committee on mil- v itary affairs is very beautiful also. s Would you like to see that .'" They did want to see it. and the 3 senator took them there. After he had r exhibited the room he said: "I think 1 this is the handsomest room in the ' Capitol. I am chairman of this com- 2 mittee." c The three women nudged one anoth- * er. When they reached the corridor ' again the stately dame handed the sen- 1 ator a quarter and said: "You have ? done very nicely. Thank you very * much." 1 "But, madam," expostulated Senator v Hawley, "I'm a senator! Surely you do c not Intended to offer me money!" * ' That's all right," said the woman: s "that's all right. We understand these 1 little vanities on the part of the door- c keepers and other attaches. You are perfectly welcome to the money." "Oh, perfectly!" re-echoed the pretty young woman. They swept away down the corridor, and Senator Hawley came into the restaurant holding the quarter gingerly between a thumb and flng'er, not knowing whether to swear or laugh.?Atlanta Journal. Judgment of a Solomon.?In a small town in one of the central counties of the state lives an elderly German who, because of the esteem in which he is held in the community, has been elected justice of the peace. The old gentleman was recently called upon to decide a most perplexing question. One of his neighbors is the possessor of a dog. The dog, although not actually vicious, delights in running out of tne gate and barking savagely at passers-by. This has been the source ; of great annoyance to the neighbors, especially to one, who vowed to get even with "the pesky critter." Recently this neighbor was returning from a trip, gun in hand. He was set upon by the dog, whereupon he raised his wea- ! pon and fired at the brute. His aim . was not very good and the dog ran yelping, minus his caudal appendage. The owner of the dog had his neighbor hauled before the old justice on a charged of cruelty to animals, and the courtroom was crowded with the par- . tisans of both men. The justice heard the charge, and then the defense that ? the dog was a dangerous animal and a menace to the neighborhood. The old iiarman therpunnn cleared his throat and delivered the dictum: S "Der man?he has been guilty of v gruelty to animals." And one side of r the courtroom applauded the justice of s the decision. o "But der tog?he vas a vicious tog." a And the other side voiced its approval, v "I vlll fine der man fife tollars." An- v other murmur in the courtroom. v "But I vnl gife him anodder shot at I der tog." And both sides cheered.? t New iork Times. s One on Ingersoll.?This is the story of how an old colored woman once got the better of the great infidel: "When Robert G. Ingersoll came to 8 Washington from the west, his head ' filled with legal lore and infidelity, or it would be better to call it agnosti- 1 cism, he encountered in one of the cor- * ridors of the Capitol an old Negro wo- c man vigorously scrubbing the floor c when she heard anyone coming, and f when the footsteps died away busily ' reading her Bible. "He slipped ur> on her very quietly ' one morning, and taking her by sur- 5 prise, with her Bible, he said: 'Mary, ) do you believe all you read there?' "I sutanly do.' she replied; 'ebery ' word, Colonel Ingersoll." ' "Do you believe that God made man i out of dust?" ' "In coase I does."

Several of the clerks vent to him and tried to sell him a iair of trousers. But he coolly told ;ach one of them that he was not quite eady to get them.

Tinkler had found what he wanted, ind as all the clerks were busy he deided to take inem along with him. 3ut he had reckoned without his host, or young Tom Huey has his eyes open it all times. In fact he seems to think hat it is his business to keep wide iwake at all times. Tinkler started or the door opening on Railroad avenue cith the trousers under his arm, and Tom, without calling to any one in the tore, started for Tinkler. He saw Tom, and threw the trousers into Mr. Carlisle's photograph gallery, but again le did not know Tom. - There was a oot- race down the street, and up Vhite street and out past the Witherpoon home. Tinkler had the speed on 'om, but the latter's call of "catch lim," "catch him" attracted the atention of Mr. J. T. Thomasson, who ollowed Tinkler in his buggy, into lajor White's pasture. There Tinkler k-as captured and brought back to town nd fined $20 by the mayor.

Gastonia Gazette, May 9: Clayton lelby, aged 21 years, died at McAdenille yesterday morning of a maliglant form of smallnox. He had been ick eight days. We learn that he took ut an insurance policy two weeks' go, which required vaccination. He k'as unwilling to comply, and a clause cas inserted in the policy making it oid in case of death from smallpox, t is a very sad death and we know hose who sorrow most will have the ympathy of their neighbors Mr. r. B. Pegram, of Yorkville, came up Wednesday morning to see his brother, ?tr. T. C. Pegram, who has been sick or several weeks and is not getting dong so well as his many friends had loped he would By all accounts Sastonia's representative in the King's fountain Military Academy behaved limself with cool, persistent, and very levoted heroism in the tragic drowning >f his companions last Saturday. In a )rivate letter from Yorkville which we lave before us, the writer of it says, 'Young Morrow performed heroic work n a heroic manner last Saturday and showed that he is made of the stuff ised in the composition of men." The nstitution of which he is a member has iromoted him to third lieutenant (not irst, as we understood it last week) ind we wish to suggest that it would je eminently proper for his home peo>le to honor themselves by honoring lim with some fitting recognition of lis meritorious conduct The First Presbytery of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church met at 8 o'clock ruesday evening in the Boyce Memoial church, King's Mountain, and adnnrno/1 WorlriQe/lav nirrVit T Vi o cnc_ iions were presided over by Rev. J. H. Simpson, superintendent of the Grier Orphanage, Hickory Grove, S. C., in he absence of the moderator. Rev. E. j\ Griffith, who was detained at his lome in rTessley, N. C., by sickness in lis family. After the opening sermon >y the moderator, the Presbytery was egularly constituted and unfinished lusiness was taken up. A large portion ?f the time was consumed in disposing if routine business. A very impressive ind interesting feature of the session vas the memorial services held at 3 'clock Wednesday afternoon in honor if two prominent members of the Preslytery who have recently died?Rev. 1. T. Chalmers, pastor of the First hurch, Charlotte, and Rev. J. C. Boyd, if Iredell county. Formal resolutions if respect were drawn, and addresses cere made by Drs. R. G. Miller, G. R. Vhite, W. W. Orr, and Rev. J. P. Cnox, of Columbia. One of the most ouching and interesting features of his service was an impromptu address ?y Dr. E. E. Boyce, of Gastonia. His ender tribute to his deceased brethren ouched a sympathetic cord in the earts of all nis hearers. The preachng of two young students of the Ersine seminary deserve mention. They .ere Mr. E. H. Ranson of Mecklenurg county, who is a nephew of Mrs. j. L. Adams, of tins city, and Mr. impson, of Rock Hill. Their sermons .ere strong, forceful, and well delivred and were very highly commended y the Presbytery and the congregaions. They were strong testimonials of the excellent advantages afforded by the seminary. Mr. Ranson was licensed to preach and will enter into active ministerial work In June. The ceremony attached upon the licensure which is one of the most solemn ceremonies of the church, was performed at the bar of Presbytery by the acting moderator, Rev. J. H. Simpson. A matter of much local interest was the election of Rev. Bruce J. Giffen to the pastorate of the| First church, Charlotte. He has not, however, as yet signified his acceptance. Mr. Giffen is a nephew of Dr. J. C. Galloway, pastor of the church at this place, being a son of Mrs. Mary Galloway Giffen, who went to Cairo, Egypt, in 1875 as the first foreign missionary of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church. After six years of labor in that field she died in 1881 and was buried in the American cematnrv 5n that Htv. Her husband, Mr. John Giffen, has for 27 years been at the head of the publishing department of the church with headquarters at Cairo. Mr. Giffen has just graduated from the Prlncton Theological seminary and is a young man of ability. Rev. J. H. Pressly, of Statesville, was first called by this church, but on account of the unwillingness of his congregation to give him up, declined the call. In this connection it is an item of some interest that the last farewell missionary meeting held in 'the Presbytery took place in what is now the First church of Charlotte on the occasion of Mrs. Giffen's departure for Egypt. The attendance was large, there being 60 ministers and delegates present, besides many visitors from Pisgah and other neighboring churches. Each session was well attended by citizens of iving's Mountain also. The next session of the Presbytery, which convenes at 10 a. m., on Tuesday after the fourth Sunday in October, will be held at Unity, S. C. Gilead and Sardi3, in Mecklenburg county, were strong competitors for the meeting and several ballots were taken before Unity was selected. Rev. J. M. White is the pastor of the church at that place. The delegates were royally entertained by the people of King's Mountain, in fact, as one of the delegates told a reporter, "we could hardly get away from them." The delegates and visitors were handsomely entertained and everything possible for their comfort and pleasure was done. All the ministers of the town attended the services and were introduced to the Presbytery. Those in attendance from Gastonia were Dr. and Mrs. E. E. Boyce, Miss Gussie F.eattie. Mr. M. B. Henry, Mr. A. F. Whitesides and Mr. Henry Hunter. CHESTER. Lantern, May 9: On Wednesday night, it is not known at what hour, some one entered Mrs. L. Samuels' room and helped himself to whatever cash he could find. He entered from the piazza. He raised the latch of the window nnd went into the room that Mrs. Samuels was ocupying, and took from Mr. Samuels' vest a pocket-book containlngf something over $75. A fine gold watch was In a pocket of the vest and a pistol was lying nearby, but these were not taken. This was a bold thief, and we trust development may lead to his arrest Mr. C. H. Brennecke, the efficient agent for the Southern Express company here, was called to Columbia Tuesday morning by telegram and he returned that afternoon. Mr. Brennecke made a visit to Macon, Ga., 14 years ago and that is the last time he had been out of town until Tuesday morning. He has been with the express company 43 years, and has lost very few days in that period. He doesn't believe in shifting about Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Warren, of Sweet Water, Tenn., arrived in the city Wednesday night. They spent yesterday at the home of Mr. J. M. Caldwell. They will go to the exposition today. Mr. Warren did not return to his home in Tennessee directly after the war, but spent three years in school at Oak Grove. He made a visit to Mr. Caldwell's about four years ago, the first visit since he left after the war. Mr. and Mrs. Warren will stop over a few days on their return from the exposition Mr. W. N. Elder, who has a position as clerk in the state dispensary, passed through the city yesterday morning on his way to his plantation at Guthriesville, where he will spend about two days. All the employes were given a vacation of three days so that they would have an opportunity to visit the exposition. Mr. Elder preferred coming home On yesterday morning about 8 o'clock, the summons came to Mrs. Eliza McLure DaVega and her spirit passed into the great beyond. Mrs. DaVega died about 8 u ciock. yesieruay morning 01 neari trouble. Though she had been in feeble health for some time her death was unexpected. Mrs. Da Vega was the wife of Dr. A. H. DaVega, who died about five years ago. She was nearly 68 years old and was the mother of nine children, eight daughters and one son. Of these, six daughters and one son survive. France Coertikg America.?The approaching fetes at Washington in honor of the unveiling of the Rochambeau statue, says a Paris cable, have evoked a strong expression of good feeling toward the United States which threatens to become sentimental. This sentiment is common throughout the whole country. President Loubet's address to the French envoys previous to their departure for Toulon on their way to the United States, is being commented on everywhere as an unusually forcible declaration of a desire to fraternize with a foreign nation on a definite basis. President Roosevelt's recent address at the Annapolis fsaval academy, in which he emphasized the supreme importance of the navy in modern warfare, is so much in accordance with the views of the French naval administration on that subiect, that the speech has been translated and distributed among the students of the French naval schools, accompanied by the declaration that the president's statements are even more true of France than of America. This curious action has been seconded by articles in the press urging an investigation of the details of the army and navy schools of the United States. Several napers, notably Figaro, are preparing supplements dealing with tiie most striking features of American life at home and abroad, the lives of prominent Americans and the historical relations of France and the United States. Figaro's supplement, which will be distributed broadcast in America May 24, was published in Paris May 10, in order that Ambassador Porter, who sails for New York May 10, might have a copy to read on the voyage. If the Rochambeau demonstration, which will be echoed in Paris by a French-American banquet, does not assume a significant political and patriotic aspect, it will not be the fault of France, which is evidently thinking of Rochambeau and of Prince Henry at the same time. ON AN ARMORED TRAIN. A YonnR American Tells of That ? ?- -? - o 1? t? a?M(h mj ruucu vi iuc acr?acc >>? wvh?? Africa. c An interesting letter, descriptive of t the armored trains utilized by the Brit- 4 ish in South Africa, the work of the 1 men detailed for duty upon them, and e other matters which do not find a ? place in the press despatches, has been received from Percy W. Tinan, s who so far as known, enjoys the dis- ' tinction of being the only South Da- 1 kotan who is serving in the British ? army in the land of the Boers. His c letter is in part as follows: 1 "Our captain of the armored train is < a brick, and he doesn't seem to care i whether we do any work or not. He < is a young fellow, and not such a crank as most of the imperial officers. ? There are two of us now?another ! Yank besides myself, a young fellow 1 from Chicago by the name of Rich- ' ardson?and he is Chicago from head to heels. He is the best fellow I have 1 struck since leaving home, totally un- ' like most of chose one meets out here ' from the states, who are usually professional hoboes. * We are, at ' the time I write this, over on the east coast and only about ninety miles from East London. "First in the train is a truck, or car, containing a searchlight and a Maxim gun; second, captain's truck; third, gun carriage truck containing two 12frnnno* fifth Ancinfil ^UUUUCIO, 1UUI (.11, 1?VW|/M| o , sixth, water truck; seventh, cook- , house truck; eighth, dynamo truck; ' ninth, construction truck; tenth, tele- ' graph truck; eleventh, searchlight and Maxim gun. "There are 58 men with the train, scattered through the different trucks. The entire train is sheeted with 2-inch armor with loopholes and so on. The train guards the frontier, and is used for general purposes of that nature. Most men with armored trains have a hard time of it. They have to do both night and day patrol duty. With the train we have a cycle machine for patrol and scout duty. It is a fourwheeled machine used on the track, and constructed on the same principle as a bicycle. Great speed can be j made with it. I do most of the work j with it. "We were called out one night by a ( report that the Boers had rushed a farm house about 12 miles out and . about a mile from the railway line. ( Away we went, with our ammunition ( beside us, ready to stick a muzzle of a ( Krag-Jorgensen through a loop hole ( at the first sight of a Boer. As we j drew near the house the train slowed ( down and a reconnoitering party was sent out. In a few minutes they were greeted with a hail of bullets, many . of which flattened on our train. Our scouting party stayed where they were and by skillful manoeuvring gradually drew back toward the train, and with them the Boers. "Like a flash the searchlight was turned on the Boers and the house. Bang! went one of the 12-pounders, and such a scampering you never saw. The shell from the gun knocked out four men and two horses; the rest of them got away. As the ranch belonged to a rank rebel who was supposed to be aiding the Boers on the quiet, the major in command, who happened to be on the train, gave orders to destroy the house. The searchlight made it a beautiful target, and the gunners with the 12-pounder soon knocked it into kindling wood. Then we steamed back to town rolled up in our blankets and slept. "A few days after the bombardment of the farmhouse we were called out one night by the report that the Boer leader in the vicinity was making north for the frontier. He had been having a hard time in the colony and decided to try to get out. Away we went once more, and after passing about 15 blockhouses with no news, we at last came to the hunting ground. "In a cloudy, moonlight night we could see the whiskers of the advance guard, coming over the veldt a mile away. We were lying with our armored train in a cut out of sight. When the Boers were a little less than a mile off the line each man dropped and began to make a sneak. Orders were sent by 'phone to the blockhouses in the vicinity to hold fire until we opened. "Finally four Boers started on a run for the fences. They knew that the line was protected by barb-wire networks, but guess they did not know the strength of the fences. They began slashing and cutting with their wire-clippers, and after five minutes' work signalled the command in the rear to come up and make a dash for it. They came?and so did we. Our cut was half a mile from the attempted place of crossing. "To go back a little, you may think it strange that they did not put out outposts. It would have been useless, because the blockhouses are so near together, and the sentries have orders to fire on any one approaching the line. "Twenty men were sent out from our train and the nearest blockhouses to hold the pass. Imagine 20 men attempting to hold a pass against 275 desperate Boers, caught like rats in a trap?as that is the number we afterwards learned made the rush. Our men started on to hold the pass at tne same moment the Boers started to make it. "My God! What a scene followed. Our searchlight was turned on, the two Maxims firing between them 800 rounds a minute, and one 12-pounder dropping shrapnel shells with 300 bullets in each, started in to do business. To see that bunch of Boers come on was something grand. "The first rattle of the Maxims took hem completely by surprise, and natirally checked them for a moment? tnd then on they came until they eached the wires. Instead of heading or the onening, they made for the sold fence, and failing to jump that or >reak through, landed in. all shapes a onfused mass of struggling, desperate lghtlng men. "About 25 of them, as soon as they itruck the fence, wheeled and started o encircle the train. Alas, more than lalf rolled over dead the first quarter ?f a mile, and the rest scampered for he veldt. Only, ten succeeded in geting across both lines, and of these >ut three were mounted. The remainler of the command not killed or vounded went over the back of the reldt in all drections. "Our casualties were three wounded. >ne of which was a gunner on one of he 12-pounders, while the Boers left 10 dead on the field, 80 wounded, and ost 165 horses the latter of which were (ither killed outright or had to be shot ifterward. "When nothing is doing we occailonally have concerts. Nearly every rommy has a song he can sing in pubic, which, together with the musicians imong them, always makes something loing. There are two mandolins, a eanjo, an autoharp and two accordiins in the outfit All but two of the nen who have them are fine musicians. "As I finish my letter the Tommies ire all out on the grass on the shady side of the train playing cards, chess ind checkers. The veldt is covered with a most beautiful growth of grass. The thorn bush about here is green now and covered with flowers. There Is a specie of red cactus that is also very pretty. The temperature where we now are is about 90 by day; the evenings are cool and delightful."?St. r.rtnla ninVro.riomnrrn f BLACK WALNUT. Wood That Haw Become Too Vainable to be Viied. a* Once, For Fence Ball*. The best black walnut In the United States is found in Indiana. Forty years ago there could be found in this state a crop of black walnut unequall;d In quality and quantity. Today is not to be found in such immense trees. Neither is the number of trees by any means so numerous. Years ago the largest and best trees were used for fence rails and such common puraoses. At that time it had no particjlar commercial value. Before walnut iame into general use, the most of domestic furniture was of cherry. Wallut has now utterly superseded this mcj all other woods. Fence rails can ae found today through Indiana that ivere split more than half a century igo, and they are as sound now as then, save the wear and tear. Of all lard woods the walnut is most durable, save red cedar, and possibly in the ground, black locust would equal it. Our walnut is comparatively gone, in isolated parts of the country, where this timber grows, there is yet some af inferior quality, but to a limited extent. But the general black walnut growing in the deep forest, in the rich lowlands, in its primitive nature, is a thing of the past. The general supply 1 Attractiveness Is the most impo printing.

Kentucky has quite a good stock of black walnut, and much that is very inferior on account of its gray color and tough, hard texture. Missouri also has some of rather an inferior quality. Western Ohio and West Virginia is poor In quality. The whole stock of the states is not equal to a full demand for ten years to come. Furniture manufacturers do not use It now as lavishly as they did five vears ago. Other woods are sub stltuted when possible, and 1,000 feet of walnut are made to go as far again as it did a few years ago. Chicago uses annually in her different branches of manufacture, such as house, school and office furniture, also in finishing material, doors, mouldings, counters, etc., 14,500,000 feet. Probably about half of this is bought at the mills, and does not go Into the account of the dealers at all. Many of the largest manufacturers direct, or have mills or an interest in, mills in the walnut district.?Terra Haute Gazette.
