As "Shylock" Saw It.?For many
years there has lived in a South Dakota
town a German who is familiarly
known to his fellow-citizens as the
baron. In his early manhood the baron
became estranged from his titled relatives
as the result of his marriage to a
daughter of a London shopkeeper. He
then came to this country and by his
thrift acquired considerable wealth.
Though a devoted husband and father
he has long been known as the town
Shylock, and woe to the poor farmer
who is unable to meet in full on the
date agreed upon all claims upon him
by the Inexorable baron!
une aay, wmir aevcmi mcii o.v
ting in a general store, the baron entered
and listened attentively to a story
that was being told by an acquaintance.
The young man was describing
how, while coming to town that morning,
he had seen several Indian gins
cutting up a cow that had died of some
disease a day or two before.
"Veil?" demanded the baron, when
the narrator finished. "Veil?"
"Well," replied the young man, "the
heathens are actually going to use the
flesh as food. What do you think of
that, baron?"
An angry flush colored the German's
face almost purple, and his whole figure
seemed to dilate with indignation.
"Vot do I dink of it?" he cried. "It
disgusts me mit humor nadure. I hadt
a mortgage on dot gow!"?New York
Times.
Up to the Machine.?Senator Quay
tells a story to illustrate Senator Penrose's
loyalty to the organization without
regard for his personal opinions or
comforts. Quay, in a spirit of well concealed
raillery, told the junior senator
"tip dav that no inconsiderable part of
official popularity lay in entertaining
during the Washington season, and advised
him to go in more lavishly for
social honors and attentions.
"Why," said Quay, "a senator of your
age ought to be married. Indeed, Penrose,
I'd advise you, for the sake of the
organization, to get married. Your
chances of re-election through influential
demand by the bigwigs will be increased
a thousandfold if you take a
charming wife down there with you
next term. With your money you
ought to be able to do it well."
Penrose pondered deeply a minute or
two and then asked:
"Do you really think a thing like
that counts?"
"Sure," answered the Old Man.
"Well," answered the junior senator,
resignedly, "let the organization pick
out the woman and I'll marry her."?
Philadelphia Ledger.
Matt Carpenter's Choice.?It is
told of the late Senator Matt Carpenter
that one day while chatting with
friends in a committee room the con
versation turned on the relative merits
of religious sects, says the New York
Times. Nearly every member of the
party belonged to some church, and
there had been an animated discussion.
Senator Carpenter pacing up and down,
listening intently enough, but saying
S not a word.
"What church do you belong to Carpenter?"
asked one.
"I don't belong to any."
"Why don't you join one?"
"I don't want to. None exactly suits
my views."
"What one would you join if you
were to feel forced to a choice?"
"The Catholic, by all means."
"And why a Catholic?"
"Hecause they have a purgatory, and
that's a motion for a new trial."
JrsT an Experiment.?Dean Swift
and his postilion, riding through the
country one winter's night, stopped at
an inn for supper and a rest. Entering
the place they found five chairs about
the fire all occupied, so that they could
not get near the warmth. Turning to
the innkeeper the dean said: "My man,
go to the stable and give my horse a
measure of oysters!"
The landlord stared and then started
to obey, while the five men who had
been seated, arose as one and followed
to the stable. When they returned, five
minutes later. Swift and his man were
thawed out and cozy. The landlord
blustered in and declared:
"Why, sir, the horse won't eat the
oysters!"
"I did not say that he would," replied
Swift. "Bring them in, and we'll
eat them."?Philadelphia Ledger.
She Did, Too.?"Where did you spend
the summer?" asked the front-row chorus
girl.
"I toured Switzerland in an auto,"
said the little girl with the saucy kick.
"I took the waters at Aix-les-Bains,"
said the girl with the diamond buckles
on her slippers.
"I summered at Newport," said the
dreamy blonde in the pink slippers.
"I studied Shakespeare while in the
White Mountains," said the auburnhaired
one who led the grand marches.
"I worried with my modiste In dear
Paree," gurgled the girl who never
could catch step.
"And what did you do this summer?"
they all asked of the first chorus girl.
"I?" she murmured. "Oh, I washed
dishes, too."?Judge.
? ?
Ever Womanly.?"I hate to be contradicted,"
she said.
"Then I won't contradict you," he returned.
"You don't love me," she asserted.
"1 don't," he admitted.
"You're a hateful thing!" she cried.
"I am," he replied.
"I believe you're trying to tease me,"
she said.
"I am," he conceded.
"And that you love me."
"I do."
Vor a moment she was silent.
"Well," she said at last, "I do hate a
man who's weak enough to be led by a
woman. He ought to have a mind of
his own?and strength."
He sighed. What else could he do??
Chicago Post.
Rkcoi'rsb.?In this quandary the
highwayman bethought himself to consult
a lawyer.
"Good sir," said he, "on the one hand
rny conscience will not permit me longer
to do that which is unlawful, while
on the other hand it is not practicable
for a man at my age to change his employment."
"Incorporate under the laws of New
Jersey." quoth the lawyer, readily
enough, for it chanced that he was
learned in the law.?Life.

fell from an embankment and struck
him on the back of the head, wounding
him so seriously that he died in an
hour. Pettus is the first person to have
been killed while at work at the dam
since operations began there nearly
two years ago For stealing sweet '
potatoes out of Mr. E. B. Cook's patch,
John Ross, colored, is a very likely addition
to the chaingang force, having
failed to satisfy the judgment of Judge
Beckham, who assessed Ross $10 for his
"indiscretion." C. G. Sayre, who
has been with the surveying corps of ^
the Catawba Power company in this ^
city, left several days ago for Anderson, ^
where he has a similar position. Mrs.
Sayre left yesterday for her new home.
As stated in The Herald early in
the spring, the ladies of the city will (
have a chrysanthemum show this fall,
the date to be mentioned later. In the
notice that was published our lovers of

direct the attention of our flower growers
to the fact that the show will be held
without fail....S^Mrs. Isabella White,
widow of the late William White, of
Spartanburg county, died at the home
of her nephew, Mr. John A. Black, in
this city, at an early hour Monday
morning, aged about 77 years, death
being caused by gastritis, of which she
was ill for two months. Monday, after
| services in the A. R. P. church by Rev.
A. S. Rogers, her remains were interred
in the Ebenezer cemetery, the pallbearers
being Messrs. J. F. Reid, W.
H. Mitchell, R. T. Wright, A. A. Barron,
J. L. White and J. H. B. Jenkins.
The deceased was a daughter of the
late Alexander Templeton Black and
was born in a house that still stands at
the rear and not far from the home of
Mr. E. W. Hall, that being the old
home of the Black family, who were
then the owners of much of the land
that is now the city of Rock Hill. Mrs.
White spent her girlhood in this neighborhood,
but after her marriage removed
to Spartanburg county, where she
lived for fifteen years, when her husband
died. She returned to York and
lived thereafter in Rock Hill and vicinity
until death ended her long life,
made beautiful by acts of loving kindness
and a walk exemplary for its
piety. She was a lifelong member of
the A. R. P. church and died triumphant
in its faith.

Wright, was stolen last Wednesday ,
night from Mr. Henry Elmore's gin in
South Point. He had eight bales there
that afternoon and when he went to ,
get them Thursday morning there were ;
only seven. The bales were marked
only by a piece of cardboard bearing j
the owner's name and sliped under the 1

though diligent search has been made. 1
It was the writer's pleasure to be '
with the candidates at Lowell last Friday
night. A very attentive and-appreciative
audience of the best citizens

were accorded applause with hearty
exclamations of "You'll be elected!"
Messrs. Armstrong, Love and Leeper
were unavoidably kept from this appointment.
Mr. S. J. Durham, candidate
for the state senate, gave an elaborate
discussion of state finances and
forcefully answered Republican criticisms
thereof. Mr. John M. Gaston

night Mr. John D. Hall, who
lives in the Point four miles below Belmont,
had the misfortune Friday night,
to lose his barn and all Its contents,
including three horses, wagons, buggy
and farm implements by fire. The Are
was first discovered about midnight by
some of Mr. Hall's neighbors who hastened
to wake him. On arriving they
found his residence also burning, but
this was so$>n extinguished without
much damage to the house. The fire
was evidently the work of incendiaries
but there is no clue as yet, to the guilty
parties. The amount of insurance on
the barn was $500.
SOUVENIRS OF MANY CROOKS.
rhe Rift Collection PoMNCNNed by
Chief Wllkie of the Secret Service.
The boy detective, the youtn wnu
floats over a hair-raising tale of "Nick
barter," would find unspeakable joy In
in afternoon with the "Big Chief" out
it his Morgan avenue residence. Pistols,
knives and counterfeit money,
steel dies, engraving tools and other
Interesting articles captured by secret
3ervice men during the past half century
are to be found there. Mr. Wilkie
lias fitted up the large, airy room on
the second floor of the front of his
House for his office. The long-distance
telephone and the ominous-looking telegraph
instrument occupy prominent
positions in his roll-top desk.
Probably the most unique, and therefore
most interesting, phase of Mr. Willie's
home-office is his collection of
pistols and knives, every one of which
ivas taken from a counterfeiter. His
collection of pistols shows almost completely
the evolution of this particular
jtyle of firearm. An unusual and interesting
fact regarding the collection is
:hat, although the weapons were seized
jy secret service agents from different
characters, none was effectively used
igainst the detectives. None inflicted
i wound, although several were taken
n hard and fierce physical combats.
The oldest pistol is a good illustration
)f the first firearm of this character. It
las a long barrel and a long, but slighty
curved handle with a knob at the
end. It is the kind of pistol used by
lesperadoes half a century ago. Pic:ures
of Capt. Kidd always represent
:hat fierce character with one of them
:hrust through his sash. The pistol's
core Is about .45-calibre, and the inside
)f the barrel is not rifled. The date on
:he firearm is 1849.
The next pistol?in point of modernless?is
a reproduction of the old pi
"ate's pistol on a small scale. The caliare
is less and the Inside of the barrel
s rifled. The stock bears a date In
:he 50s, the exact year being Illegible,
rhe old arm is fitted with a flint lock,
but the smaller one is discharged by
jse of a cap.
After the smaller pirate pistol comes
the Derringer. The arm of this character
in Mr. Wilkie's possession bears
a date of the early 60s. The bore is
ibout .38-calIbre, and tbe oarrei is rifled.
It is a small weapon, fired by the
use of a cap and, like its two predecessors.
is a single-shot pistol, loaded from
the muzzle.
Next to the Derringer is the "pepper
box." This came into use during the
Civil war. Mr. Wilkie has two styles
of pepper boxes, which derive their
names from the fact that they have
Pour barrels. The bore is about .32-calibre,
rifled. This is the first style of
pistol which used a cartridge exploded
by direct contact with the hammer of
the weapon. Mr. Wilkie's oldest pepper
box is a single action affair, which must
be cocked for each barrel. His other
pepper box is of a type made a few
/ears later, being a self-cocker.
An exceedingly interesting weapon in
Mr. Wilkie's collection is the old style
Colt's revolver, .44-calibre, with a long
barrel and cylinder. This came into
use during the late years of the Civil
war, and was the pistol used by the
forces of both the north and south at
that time. It is a five-shot single action
revolver. After the old Colt's is
the "English bulldog." This was the
first suggestion of the modern, short,
self-action revolver in common use today.
It was patterned after the Colt's,
but is shorter and of smaller calibre.
This weapon came into use in the late
10s, but is a single-action weapon.
From the English bulldog to the modern
six-shooting, self-action, hammerless,
self-extracting Smith & Wesson
was but a step. Mr. Wilkie's modern
gun, which he keeps in his collection,
has rather an interesting history. The
secret service has a great many pistols
of this character, which have been seized
from time to time, but the particular
gun in question was placed with
the collection because of the part it
played in a counterfeiting tragedy in
New York.
A few years ago the secret service
operatives in the metropolis got after
a ring of counterfeiters. After months
of work and study they ran down the
principals, and surprised them in their
den in New York city. Most of the
gang submitted to arrest without a
fight, but one fellow put up a hard
fight. He was finally overpowered and
forced onto his back on a bed. He
shoved one arm under a pillow, pulled
out the revolver in question, and opened
fire on the detectives. Driving them
back he ran to a window and jumped
to the ground, two stories below. Both
legs were broken so that he failed to
get away, and was taken with the gun
in his possession.
"That old pirate pistol," said Mr.
Wilkie, picking up the weapon first
mentioned, "was loaded to the brim
when its owner was captured. He was
a counterfeiter in New York, and was
surprised at his bench, making paper
money. The pistol was lying beside
him, but he got no chance to use it. It
contained a couple of ounces of powder,
three or four nails, half a handful of
steel scraping, and several little bolt
heads. It was a regular cannon and
would have been as dangerous a weapon
to stand behind as to stand in front
of."
"The most terrible looking knife in
Mr. Wilkie's collection is a home-made
weapon with a blade fourteen or fifteen
inches long, . ~ound down from a file.
The handle is of bone. It was the property
of P. Santoro, the name being engraved
on the handle. Santoro and a
partner made counterfeit United States
paper money in Italy. The partner was
married and the woman brought the
bills into this country sewed in her
skirts. After carrying on a successful
counterfeiting business for years the
three quarreled in London when en
I A - A- A X mi ioL J 4/v 1.111
ruuic iu Aiiienuii. me men n icu iu rwn
the woman and thought they succeeded.
They left her for dead In England,
seized the counterfeit money In her possession,
and came to this country. She
recovered, followed them here and gave
the whole thing away.
Santoro carried the huge knife in a
special pocket sewed In the left side of
his coat. He could whip it out and
throw it open with one motion. It was
in his possession when he was captured
but he was taken so quickly that he
had no time to use it.
"And that reminds me," said Mr.
Wilkie, speaking of knives, "we very,
very seldom run across one any armed
with a knife except an Italian. Americans,
Englishmen, Germans and others
don't have any use for a knife. They
carry revolvers. You have probably
noticed pictures of Italians on the stage
in the act of stabbing an adversary.
They are always represented as raising
the dagger-hand above the head
and striking downward. That is all
wrong. Italians upper-cut when fighting
with knives. They invariably endeavor
to rip their victim, Inserting the
knife in the abdomen and either striking
or ripping upward."?Washington
Post.
THE ANCESTRY CRAZE.
CnriouM PhaweM of It That Strike
uenMn* unrenn iierKR.
One class of questions besets the census
office. Persons In all parts of the
country write letters asking for assistance
In tracing lost or missing friends.
Usually it is a brother who wandered
off in early life, and is "supposed to be
in the west somewhere," but has not
made known his whereabouts.
The writers assume that, since the
census office has taken the names of
everybody in the United States, with
the age, nationality, and a lot of other
facts, it will be a very simple matter to
tell what persons are on the records, and
so trace any one who has not adopted
an alias. The office has prepared a formal
reply which is sent out to all these
inquiries. It recites that no alphabetical
list of the population of the United
States has ever been made, and so the
office does not have the desired information
at hand. Congress, it is said,
has never furnished a sufficient number
of clerks for such an undertaking.
The forms which the inquiries take
are diverse. The most extraordinary

request from an Intelligent writer was ?
one which read something like this:
"My ancest r, John Buttonwood, came
to this coun.ry in 1797. Will you kindly
ascertain where he was recorded as living
under the census of 1800, and also
the names of his sons and daughters?
Please trace them and their descendants
through succeeding censuses down
to the present time, and give me as
complete a record by decades as the
facts in the possession of the census
office will permit. I shall be very glad
to compensate the clerk who undertakes
this search in case it is out of
regular lines of your work."
Perhaps, however, it is not so strange
that people direct this sort of questions
to the census omce when otner government
bureaus are doing similar things.
The library of congress is a great resort
for persons seeking genealogical
information, and the department which
has this material in charge finds an
ever-increasing task before it. Very ,
simple questions the library answers 1
without charge, but if the inquiry |
threatens to take considerable time, it
is turned over to a paid searcher the
library having on its lists several persons
who regularly do this work. The
record and pension office is another bu- .
reau which is able to give a surprising
amount of information of a per- .
sonal nature, although, of course, its
range is limited to men who have
served in the army.
The question has sometimes been
asked: Why should there not be, in
this age of abundant government printing,
a dictionary of the 76,000,000 people
In the United States, published, perhaps,
decennially? The answer is easy;
it would make a series of volumes considerably
larger than all the city directories
of the United States put together.
It would be of some use in hunting
for lost persons, but practically for t
little else.?Washington Special.

THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER is
distinctively a York county paper,
edited and published for York county
eaders. It is the aim of the publishes
that the paper shall fill a field that
s filled by no other paper. The first
mportance is attributed to a correct
jresentation of the local news of York
eounty, giving: especial attention to all
:hat is of interest in the social, religous,
educational, agricultural, commercial
and industrial affairs of this imraeliate
section. Next after York county,
follows the same Interest in the affairs
)f the counties immediately surroundng.
After that, is published the more
mportant news of the state, the nation
md the world, all in a condensed, but
comprehensive form. The paper is issued
twice-a-week in order that its
'eaders may be kept in closer touch
vith every-day developments, and each
??"" fo intonriori tr? miitnin ? condensed
synopsis of all the more Important
jvents current since the preceding: isme.
The publishers give especial at:entlon
to accuracy, comprehenslblllty
ind promptness, and try to make a paler
that will enable busy people to keep
correctly informed on the Important
ivents of the day, without having to do
jnnecessary reading. In addition to
:lose attention to the news, the literary
'eatureef THE ENQUIRER is also important.
It aims to instruct, entertain
ind inform. It seeks to present nothng
except of a wholesome, elevating
character, that will sustain the old and
nspire the young in the higher ideals
if life and duty. In all of the features
wtlined, THE ENQUIRER excels all
ither South Carolina newspapers, and
las but few rivals in the entire coun:ry.
These results are the product of
rears of experience and of ceaseless
:oil, as well as of heavy expense, the
ike of which is not approached by any
ither weekly or semi-weekly newsaper
n the south. In printing only what
should be printed and leaving out what
should not be printed, it is without a
superior, and the highest ambition of
:he publishers is to continue to sustain
snd upbuild the reputation the paper
mjoys in all its most praiseworthy fea:ures.
