^tumorous department. Liberal Senator Joue*. Not Infrequently members of congress upon the expiration of their terms, remain in Washington, making this city their permanent home. Sometimes they get appointments in some of the departments and sometimes go into the practice of law there, as most of them are lawyers. Now and' then one becomes a member of the "third house" and occasionally one develops into what is known as a "toucher," with no visible means of support other than that he is able to borrow from his more fortunate acquaintances. Apropos of the "toucher" this story Is told: An man who was a senator be fore the civil war haunted the chamber at times and occasionally succeeded In negotiating a loan from one of his former colleagues. Senator Jones, of Nevada, who had known and liked him In his better days, often tided him over serious difficulties and rarely turned a deaf ear to his importunities. On one occasion the ex-senator went to Mr. Jones and said: "Senator, I have got to go away for six months, and it would be a great accommodation to me if you could let me have $50 for that time." "Suppose you make it a year," replied the Nevada senator, "and I'll make it a hundred. "I will do it," emphatically remarked the "ex," and the bargain was made. The strangest part of it is that the man actually stayed away a year, and Senator Jones considered the $100 reasonably well invested. A Good College Story.?Freshly vamped to suit the occasion a really good college story can be handed down from master to master. But a writer in the Cornhill Magazine has a good case in claiming as individual a story which he tells of Benjamin Jewett, for few Oxford heads have been so Inexact in matters of Scriptual history as the late master of Ballion. It had reached Jowett's ears that Ballion men were not so successful in the examinations in rudiments of religion as in the classical schools, so he determined to call up the next batch of candidates and catechise them himself. "Mr. Smith," he is reported to have said on the mementous occasion, "what prophet went up to Heaven in a chariot of Are?" "Elijah, sir." "It is disgraceful that a scholar of this college should be so ignorant," said the master, severely. "Mr. Jones, what prophet went yp to Heaven in a chariot of fire?" "Elijah, sir." "Mr. Brown, will you answer tms perfectly simple question?" "Elijah, sir." At this point the library boy entered and to strike all the undergraduates with shame, he was appealed to: "Tell these gentlemen what prophet went up to Heaven in a chariot of fire." "Elijah, sir." There ensued a pause. Then the master said: "Well, gentlemen, perhaps it was Elijah. Tou are dismissed."?Youth's Companion. Couldn't Hide It.?The national capital continues to be the Mecca of brides and grooms, and you are pretty sure to find a pair of them in Statuary hall almost any time. The other day a newly married couple sauntered leisurely through the historic chamber whose peculiar accoustic properties , have given it the name of "Whispering gallery." Thsy were trying very hard, after the manner of their kind, to look unconscious and making out very poorly, as is usuaiiy me toac. Stepping on one of the echo stones to gaze at a new statue, they were spied by two youthful pages, who immediately "spotted" them as wedding tourists. One of the boys stepped to an echo stone on the opposite side of the gallery and in a whisper asked: "When did you get married?" The young couple looked at each other and then around the hall. The bride flushed rosy red, and the bridegroom looked uncomfortable. Again they glanced around* the hall, but could not discern from whence the voice came. "When did you get married?" again came the mysterious question. Awestricken and looking extremely foolish, the young couple precipitately fled from the chamber.?Washington Letter. Ouk Queer Ways.?If some or us were caught and caged! I saw a man run hard to cross the track close in front of a Long Island railroad train. Then he stopped and watched the train go by. Then he stood and watched it out of sight. Then he went his leisurely way. He seemed to be all right, and probably was all right. That was a man. I saw a woman in a street car open a satchel and take out a purse, close the satchel and open the purse, take out a dime and close the purse, open the satchel and put in the purse, close the satchel and lock both ends. Then she gave the dime to the conductor and took a nickel in exchange. Then she opened the satchel and took out the purse, closed the satchel and opened the purse, put in the nickel and closed the purse, opened the satchel and put in the purse, closed the satchel and locked both end9. Then she felt to see if her back hair was all right, and it was all right, and she was all right, and just as sweet! That was a woman. I saw a monkey?but he was caged. What if some of us were caught and caged! ? + Marvelous Escape.?"The fact that I am a good musician," said the lady from the country village, "was the means of saving my life during a flood in our town a few years ago." "How was that?" asked the young lady who sang. "When the water struck our house, my husband got on the folding bed and floated down the stream until he was rescued." "And what did you do?" "Well, I accompanied him on the piano." jjfttettllaiteoti* grading. : FROM CONTEMPORARIES, ' Neiri and Comment That la et More or Less Local Interest. YORK.

It was before in a horrible plight and altogether impassable for loaded wagons. The section through the Dutchman Creek bottoms was covered with heavy stones and then were crushed with sledge hammers in such a manner as to render passage over the road comparatively easy. Thirteeh wagons were engaged in hauling rock for several days. At the last meeting of the county commissioners an order was issued for the road to be put in good condition as possible, but as nothing was done, Mr. Wylie interested the Power company and the neighbors and they went ahead and did the work themselves, and they ure deserving the thanks of the traveling public The Observer says that the contract ror me brick work of the new mill. of the Highland Park company, to be built in Charlotte, has been let to Mr. R. A. Brown, of Concord, and the wood work to Mr. A. IC. Loftin, of Gastonia. The plant will cost. about $500,000. Mr. C. W. Johnson, secretary and treasurer of the Highland Park Manufacturing company, Informed an Observer reporter Thursday that his company had decided to build a power plant on Sugar creek, 1,000 feet from the new mill and about one mile from the Gingham mill, owned also by the company. The power works will cost $100,000 for the entire plant. The power plant will have 2,000 horse power and will generate electricity to run both the Gingham mill and the new mill; and the two mills will be the first electric driven plants in North Carolina. The electricity will be generated or operated through induction motors. The new mill, which will be called the Highland Park Manufacturing Company plant No. 3, will consist of two buildings. One will be one story high and 450 feet long by 125 feet wide; the other will be - * -*- -a ?ill Ka 4&A two Stories mgn &I1U win bidu uc i?v feet long: by 125 feet wide. The mill will employ over 800 operatives and will have 30,000 spindles and 1,000 looms. The Gingham mill, which is considered a large plant, has only 500 operatives. The No. 3 mill will make a specialty of ginghams, and will give the Highland Park company a total of 27,000 spindles on ginghams alone. LANCASTER. Ledger, February 28: A thief entered the meat house of Mr. John H. Steele, at Dwight last Wednesday night and relieved him of 300 pounds of fresh meat. The blood hounds were put on the trail of the tnief the following morning .but could only follow it a short distance. There is a strong suspicion as to who the thief is, but no arrests have yet been made....The elegant country home of Miss M. C. Thomasson, an aunt of our townsman, Mr. J. T. Thomasson, Ave miles north east of Yorkvllle, was aestroyea oy me Wednesday night last about 10 o'clock. The explosion of a lamp in Miss Thomasson's room upstairs while she was preparing to retire occasioned the Are. Miss Thomasson as soon as the accident occurred, endeavored to smother out the burning oil by throwing blankets and bedding on the flames, but the oil had spread so over the floor that her efforts were fruitless. In her ^attempt to extinguish the Are Miss Thomasson had both her hands burned, the left one severely. Her apron caught afire and was burned nearly off and but for the fact her clothing was wool she would doubtless have lost her life. The building, furnishings, etc., destroyed were valued at about $2,000, with only about $475 of insurance. In addition she also had about $200 in money burned. Miss Thomasson lived alone with an aged brother who was down stairs at the time, and who was attracted by his sister's screams, but was unable to render her any assistance. CHESTER. y Lantern, February 27: Mr. Thos. C. Howze and Miss Chapella Howze, daughter of Mrs. S. A. Howze, of Bascomvllle, were married Wednesday by the Rev. J. W. Neely Mr. J. Nixon Stringfellow, teller of the Commercial bank, and Miss Daisy Braun, of Boston, were married yesterday even ins: at the residence of Judge Gage, by the Rev. H. O. Judd, of the Episcopal church. Miss Braun, now Mrs. Stringfellow. has been visiting Mrs. Kate DaVega. Her acquaintances are not at all surprised at Mr. Strlngfellow's .wooing one so attractive, and congratulate him now that he has won. The marriage, however, came as a complete surprise Sheriff J. E. Corn well told us Wednesday that he had been at Fraser Hardin's and saw twenty squirrels that were killed on one tree. This reminds us of war times, when the woods were alive with squirrels and they frolllcked over shade trees In the yard, knowing that there was no powder In -the country except what was being used for larger game. GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, February 27: Yesterday's Raleigh News and Observer says that Lenoir won In its fight to *uA J piirvciii Hie vaiviuia auu ui-f? em Railway from changing its route and leaving the town on a siding two miles from the main line. The matter was decided by the house committee on railroads, the vote standing ten to twelve in favor of Mr. Newland's bill. It seems that the road wanted to take a route in building its extension that would have left Lenoir off the line and a stubborn fight was the result Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Miller and Mr. Wright Torrence returned this week from a three weeks tour of the west. Among the points of interest visited by them were Memphis, Kansas City, Denver, Ogden, Sacramento, San Fran Cisco, Los Angeles and El Paso. Mr. Torrence also visited relatives at Fort Worth and Brandon in Texas, and Little Rock and Russellville in Arkansas. They speak in glowing terms of the beauties of the Rockies and of the plantations and gardens of California. News reached here late yesterday afternoon oi a most distressing accident which happened about 12 o'clock yesterday on the farm of Mr. James Holland, one and a half miles east of Bessemer City, in which his oldest son, John, aged 22, lost his life. Shortly before noon Mr. Holland went out to a Bpot on his father's farm where Mr. William Herbert waa plowing a sman patch of land, with the intention of assisting in the work. He said to Mr. Herbert that hlB legs hurt him, whereupon Herbert volunteered to do the work and let Holland return to the house. Holland's horse was hitched to the plow and Herbert turned his mule over to Holland, asking him to hold it while he finished the plowing, there being only a few short furrows to finish up. Holland mounted the mule and started toward the road, about twenty yards distant, presumably to meet his father whom he saw coming. A dog Jumped out from some bushes, frightening the mule, which dashed madly down the road. Holland was thrown violently from the mule's back and as he fell his foot became entangled in the' trace chain dangling at the mule's side. His body was hurled with great force against a pine tree, breaking many bones and causing internal injuries that resulted in death. He was dragged seventy-five or eighty yards before his foot became unloosened and he was left dying in the road. There were no injuries whatever on the head and death evidently resulted from internal Injuries. Mr. W. A. Hendrick, who lives near the Holland home, Mr. James Holland, the father, and Mr. Herbert were quickly at his side and did everything possible for the dying man, but he expired where he fell In less than thirty minutes. Dr. D. A. Garrison, of Bessemer was quickly summoned and arrived just as Holland was breathing his last. Mr. Holland was married just a short time before Christmas, his wife being a daughter of Mr. David Lineberger, and was making preparations to build a house on his father's farm, having already placed the lumber for that purpose. He was an exemplary young man, a consistent member of the Baptist church, and was highly spoken of by all who knew him. His last words, spoken to Mr. Hendrlck were: "Pm going to Heaven." WINGED MONSTERS. Gigantic Bats That Infest the Philippine Arehipelaaro. Officers and men of the American army returning from service in the Philippines . are bringing with them seme curious trophies from those islands and incidentally relate some startling tales of the strange animal and 'bird life of our new possessions In the far east, says the New York Times. By far the most startling of these tales refer to the bats of the Islands. The variety current in the Philippines Is not the "Bat, bat, fly under my hat" fs miliar to the American small boy. They are veritable giants of the bat world, measuring Ave feet from wing tip to wing tip. Their bodies are as large as those of foxes and thefr heads are not unlike these animals' heads In shape. The Philippine bats make their homes in the caves (which are very plentiful in the forest districts of the islands) in large colonies, clinging to the sides and roofs of the caves during the day and coming out in countless hordes about dusk to feed and indulge in their aerial stunts. Many stories are current as to the effect of the first experience with these giant bats upon men fresh from the states. Raw recruits assigned to picket duty on the outskirts of camp at late dusk have rushed into quarters white with terror. Recovering, they would relate, amid the suppressed mirth of their more seasoned fellow soldiers, how some enormous thing (and in these recountings the bats were often given credit for considerable more bulk than they actually possessed) had come upon them silently while they were patrolling their picket line, without a sound this ghoulish spectre, with nothing about it to signify life but a pair of extremely bright eyes that shone out from the somber blanket like a pair of demon lights, had swooped so close to them that they felt the rush of air against their faces, some averring that they detected the smell of sulphur. All in all, the thing was Just a trifle too uncanpy for them and their superstitious horror had gotten the better of their physical bravery and they had, unhero-like, fled. To the wives of the American officer the giant bats were a special dread A f Vinmn fKotr hoH auu nitiivj aii\.ua At iiviiic always harbored a creepy dread of the smaller winged rodents there that have a tendency to Intrude In boudoirs, half believing in the 'bats' fondness for attaching themselves to human hair, but this could be counteracted on the evening stroll by the affecting of a "fascinator." Not so in the Philippines. It was altogether too great a strain on the imagination to think that this remedy would suffice to shield one from the unwelcome curiosity of the winged monsters that circle the air there. It is related that on one occasion one of these giant bats, astray from its bearings, penetrated to the dining room of the most fashionable hotel in Manila at a time when the room was crowded with American and European guests after the concerts. Its appearance in the room, as it fluttered excitedly about, attempting to find an exit, created as much of a stampede as an earthquake or a volcanic eruption. Women fled in shrieking terror from the room, fighting and struggling at the doorways to escape from the uncanny intruder and men rolled under the tables and sought tM J U/vkU.1 aifAnr ItflU^e 111 UUIIICI9 UIiu UtrillllU cv CI y convenient shield. And it was some time (the bat in the meantime having been captured by the hotel attendants) before quiet was restored and things had assumed their wonted gayety. Parties of Americans and Europeans have visited the caves resorted to by these giant fruit bats in colony with the smaller insectiverous bats of the Islands. They speak of the sight as indescribable. Every available inch of the space on walls and roof is utilized by the creatures. These caves also present a field of commercial interest that will in all probability commend itself to American capitalists. The guano deposits contained within these caves have never been worked and, with the increasing Interest in agriculture in the islands, these exceedingly rich deposits of fertilizing material will have great commercial value. The skins of the giant bats that have been brought home by American soldiers are examples of the largest specimens to be obtained in the Philippines. The skins are very soft, the fur being as smooth almost as seal, and are of a brownish color. One skin brought to the United States by an officer measures almost five feet between the tips of the wings and the skin shows the body must have been fully as large as that of the domestic cat. Since the American occupation it has become quite the thing among devotees of the shotgun to spend a half hour before absolute darkness "pegging away" at the enormous bats with duck shot, and the easiness of the targets makes the sport productive of great Joy and profit to the native Islanders, the bats meaning both meat and money to them, they eating the flesh and curing the skins and selling them to visitors to the islands.? rmuurauniA tuniAuiuuai Great Care Should Be Taken to Prevent the Spread of the Disease. It not Infrequently happens that people who take the best care of themselves are sometimes attacked by that dread disease, pneumonia, and they are at a loss to account for it. It Is a fact not generally known that pneumonia Is highly contagious, and there is the greatest danger in coming In contact with the micro-organism In the sputa of those suffering from this disease. It is important, therefore, that the same care should be taken in handling pneumonia patients that would be taken with consumptives. A writer in American Medicine brings out some strong points about the contagious character of pneumonia, which it would be well for all to understand. He asserts that pneumonia is far more contagious even than tuberculosis, and he produces figures to show that the ! mortality from pneumonia is in some cities far greater than the mortality from consumption. This writer quotes from the bulletin of the Chicago health department, which says that in the last two years (the deaths from pneumonia In that city have been one eighth of all, and 46 per cent, more than all other contagious and infectious diseases combined. It is further asserted that the great spread of this disease is due mainly to the carelessness of patients and their friends who ignore the* contagiousness of pneumonia as well as to professional negligence.?Atlanta Journal. Surgeon's Sutures.?Modern surgery employs dozens of different kinds of thread for sewing up cuts and wounds. Among them are kangaroo tendons, horse hair, silk and very fine silver wire. The short, tough tendons taken from the kangaroo, which are used for sewing severe wounds, are particularly valuable and have saved many lives; they hold for about a month before they break away. Silk thread will hold for much longer, sometimes for six months, while the fine silver wire is practically indestruclble. Thus a surgeon is able to select a thread that will last as long as the wound should take to heal, and will then disappear completely.?Science Slfting8. Neighborly Neglect.?Every one knows the dislike of the country person to interfere with his neighbors. A good instance has just occurred in the Midlands. Farmer Jarvis, driving to market, saw through the open door ot a barn the body of a neighbor suspended from a beam, and drove on, revolving tragedy. When he reached the market town he imparted the news with deliberate emphasis. "Good heavens!" exclaimed the other, "and did you cut him down?" "No," said the farmer more slowly still, "he warn't dead yet."?London Globe. &T The Italian government has decided to abandon all further attempts to recover the galleys of Tiberius from the bottom of Lake Nemi, where they have laid submerged for 2,000 years. After fnultless attempts in 1400, 1535, 1827 and 1895, to float these huge boats or floating palaces, a scheme was submitted to the government for recovering the galleys by temporarily draining the lake, which is situated in the Alban Hills. The immense expense of this project has decided the government to abandon the scheme.
