tumorous Jepartmcnt. Proof of Skiix.?Frank Miles Day, the well-known architect and essayist of Philadelphia, stepped carefully from a Persian rug of dull green and old rose to another of rich blue, foi the polished floor between was dark and smooth and slippery, like ice. "Rather a good polish there, 1 think," said Mr. Day's host, a resident of Rltterhouse square. "Remarkably good, indeed," said Mr. Day. rne nosi just men suppeu &uu nearly fell, and the architect, with a laugh, went on: "A friend of mine has beautiful floors, and the other day sent for a floor polisher. ' 'I want these floors polished,' he said to the man, as he led him about the house. 'They are, you perceive, fine ones. They ought to come out as lustrous as rosewood. Do you think you are capable of doing them justice? Give me some proof of your thorough competence.' " That's easily done, sir,' the polisher replied. 'You just go and ask Colonel Snow, next door but one, about my work. He'll tell ye. Why, governor, on the polished floor of Colonel Snow's dining room alone five persons got broken limbs last winter, while the ladles slipped down the grand staircase during the Easter week ball and one dislocated her hip, while the other fractured three ribs. You ask Colonel Snow, sir. I polished that floor and that there staircase of hls'n.' "?Philadelphia Bulletin. No Bribery.?An amusing epmuuc In politics is vouched for by a minister of religion as having occurred near Gilllngham, England. A lady canvasser for one of the local candidates called at a house, found that the voter was out and inquired of the wife, "You think he will vote for my candidate, do you not?" "Indeed he won't," replied the woman. "He has been promised a new pair of trousers if he votes for the other man." The lady canvasser scented a petition for bribery, produced a sovereign and said, "I will give you this if you will tell me who made your husband that promise." "Certainly I will," said the voter's wife as she pocketed the money. '1 promised him them myself." Declined Her Owj) Medicine.? There is always more or less talk current about abolishing positions and dispersing pelf. The trouble ac cording to the Youth's Companion, is to know just where to begin the " .destructive reconstruction, and to find reformers who are willing themselves to be reformed. * An English great lady was once entertaining the labor member of parliament, Henry Broadhurst, the duke of Argyll and others at her country seat. She was and is a strong liberal, and one evening inveighed against the house of lords. It would be swept away if it did not reform, she said, with fervor. "Yes," agreed Broadhurst, "and how will you like that Mrs. P?" "Lady P. if you please, sir," instantly corrected Broadhurst's hostess, drawing herself up haughtily. ?y. Grateful. For the Sdooor.?Mayor Kirkendall of Wilkesbarre, told at a reception a story about a young Wilkesbarre clergyman. "He was married a year ago," the mayor said, "and his wife, a good girl, Interested him In a charity for miners' orphans. He advocated this charity often from the pulpit, and when a subscription reached him he would acknowledge it the next Sunday in church. "It happened that last June there came to this minister on the same day a subscription for $25 and a young son. "A good deal of laughter was excited the following Sunday, when, rising in the pulpit, the minister said that he felt very grateful for the small succor that had arrived during the past week." Buyinq Chickens.?There is a shrewd old reuow in uonneuiiuui, mc proprietor of a summer boarding house, who never gets the worst of it. One morning he took a new servant with him to Greenwich to teach the servitor the tricks of judicious buying. The question of chickens arose. Said the old chap: "How many have you this morning?" "About a dozen," replied the storekeeper. "Well," said the proprietor of the summer boarding house: "My boarders is the biggest eaters you ever seen. Pick out nine of the toughest you've got." The storekeeper complied, laying aside the three tender fowls. Whereupon the old chap gathered them into his basket, observing: "Guess I'll take these three." An Inferential Retort.?Oscar S. Strauss, formerly minister to Turkey, tells this story of a Eoston rabbi. One day in a crowded street car, the rabbi arose to give his seat to a woman who had just entered. Much to the rabbi's disgust, a young man scrambled Into the seat before the lady could avail herself of it. For some moments ine rauui giairu ai the offender in a way that clearly showed his displeasure; but he said nothing. Finally the rude young man, growing restive under the keen glance, said: "Wot are you staring at me for? Look as if you'd like to eat me!" "I am forbidden to do that." quiet ly responded the rabbi; "I am a Jew!" So They Are.?"Here! here! this won't do," said the city editor to the green reporter. "Here you say 'many people thinks.' Don't you know any better than that?" "Why," asked the inexperienced fellow who had taken the Job on his nerve, "ain't that all right?" "Certainly not. A plural substantial cannot take a singular verb." "Well, but?er?many people are singular, you know." Suspicious.?Mrs. Hiram OfTen?

Galloway is In Due West where he went to attend a meeting last night of a committee of the synod and of Ersklne Theological seminary to consider a course of study for the seminary Capt. W. I. Stowe, Qastonla's popular magistrate, had an important case before him Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The case In question was tried at the captain's residence on West Main street. The defendants were Mr. Culbert L. Lytton, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Lytton and Miss Hettie Sherrill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Sherrill, both east of Gastonia. There were several important witnesses present, and after hearing all the evidence In the case, the clever captain released the prisoners under a bond of holy wedlock Alarming symptoms In the condition of Mr. J. R. Fayssoux Saturday morning caused his Immediate family and relatives to be summoned to his bedside. Two of his assailants, Brank and Inman, who were under bond were apprehended and sent to jail to await the issues of the wounded man's condition. Yesterday some of the alarming symptoms had passed away, and while the patient was not certainly improved, It was hoped that his condition was no worse. It was discovered a day or two ago by his physicians that his body was terribly beaten and bruised as if by cudgels or kicks Last Friday night shortly after retiring Mrs. William Holland awoke in profuse perspiration. She called her husband's attention to it, but did not appear to be suffering. She drew one or two long breaths and was still. Mr. Holland arose and found that she was dead. A husband and four children are left to mourn her death. The children are Mrs. Valley Peters of Gastonia and Messrs. J. M., A. R. and L. A. Holland of Dallas, with all of whom their friends sympathize deeply. Mrs. Holland was fifty-seven years of age and was a member of the Dallas Baptist church. The funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. L. Vipperman at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. A COLLISION. It Was Between Two Men, and the Climax Was Pathetic. A blind man was making his way out Washington OVflnUg. uslne his cane as a guide for his feet. Across his chest was a placard bearing the legend, "I am blind," and suspended by a chain around his neck was a small tin cup, a convenient receptacle for charity coins. It was broad daylight and he knew that stretch of walk so well that he felt very little fear of accident. He was about the middle of the block, so he did not have to look out for the step down from the pavement to the cross street. There are never many pedestrians out that far on Washington avenue, and no one is going to run ruthlessly Into a blind man. He was striding bravely along when, to his utter astonishment, he collided with a rapidly moving object. The object was a man, who gr?w very angry, for the impact had dislodged his hat. It had also served to hurl the blind man backward, so that he must have fallen had it not been for the man who sprang to the rescue and who tells the story. "Havn't you got any sense?" the enraged man cried. "Now. you'd better pick up my hat, you awkward lubbard!" "I can't," the disconcerted fellow replied. "1 think it was your own fault. You ought to look where you are going." "How can I look where I am going? Can't you see that I am blind? It Is you who ought to look where you are going and not go bumping into a blind man." "What's that? You blind? I didn't know. I couldn't tell, you see. I am blind too. I'm sorry I knocked off your hat. I'm afraid I can't help you find it. I wonder which way It rolled." The other man was staring blankly at him. Then he groped his way . forward, and fell upon the other blind man's neck and said in a broken voice: "We blind people get selfish, expecting all the world to get out of our way. I didn't mean to talk to you as I did." By this time the witness to the little tragedy had picked up the bat, tered hat, dropped a coin Into each cup and hurried on, saddened but grateful for the priceless gift of sight. ?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. THE SAINTLY FOX. Finds a Friend at Last Who Brushes Up His Reputation. I have hunted foxes for nearly three score years, and I have yet to see where they have ever caught or killed a domestic fowl or ruffed grouse or young lamb, though 1 have In the winter often seen where they have tried to catch grouse that were roosting under the snow, but never saw where they had succeeded in catching one. I have very often seen where they have caught our common northern hare, and only once have I ever seen them in the vicinity of the numerous flocks of geese and turkeys that are roaming about our fields. One evening, years ago, while driving In the town of Hlghgate, near the Canada line, as I approached a farmhouse I saw down In the pasture some three hundred yards away a group of horses standing with their heads together and heels out, and nearby was a flock of geese and goslings waddling up toward the house. Very soon the horses broke ranks, and with heads down, started along toward the geese, and I then saw that they were following a fox. The fox stopped and faced the horses which Immediately whirled with their heads together with heels out as though to repel the attack of an enemy. The fox then trotted along after the geese and the horses broke ranks again and followed it. I called to the people In the house to come out and get their geese which were then near the road. The fox heard me, and of course, bolted for the woods. Now regarding weasels. They may kill chickens, but if so, I have never had positive proof of it. A friend who was raising chickens was losing a chicken or two every day, and he laid It to the weasels. His barn and outbuildings were overrun with rats, and a couple of weasels had come in among them; one of the weasels he found in the yard killed, bitten through the head. One morning he saw a large cat jump out from the yard with a chicken in its mouth. He shot the cat and lost no more chickens, and the remaining weasel soon cleaned out the rats and Is evidently now living on mice, as It does not molest the poultry. A near neighbor of his was also troubled with rats about his barn. A mink came in and cleaned them out, and last tall the farmer foolishly shot the mink for Its pelt. Before spring the rats were back again as thick as ever. He now wishes that he had let the mink remain, as the price that he received for the mink skin does not pay for the damage done every month by the rats. Any observing farmer in this vicinity will admit that it is only during the years that foxes and weasels are scarce that their fields and orchards are overrun with mice, and the damage the mice do amounts to far more than the value of the poultry on their farms. Again, take the much-maligned skunk; he can be classed among the friends of the farmer. While we have seen instances of his taking eggs and even poultry, his principal diet is grubs, grasshoppers, crickets, wire-worms, and when near a potato field, potato bugs. But for all this, let him be caught In a potato field, he is surely dogged or stoned to death, and perVtortci Kv tho vfirv fa rmar h P {q hp. friending. The same farmer will pay out dollars for parls green and In hired man's wages to destroy the very bugs that the skunk would have eaten If left alone. We are living and learning, though some of us learn slowly, that It is hard for us to get over early prejudices. Nevertheless, we may expect at no very distant date to see laws made and enforced to protect the farmers' friends, each of the above named animals. Among the large number of dogs that are In the country there is an occasional one that will kill sheep, so there may be a few foxes and weasels that have a fondness for poultry and young lambs. Though, if so, they have never come under my personal observation.?Forest and Stream. MYSTERIES OF DEATH VALLEY. Fascination For Those Who Brave Its Dangers?Legends of Finds. While gold seems to be the underlying cause of the great Interest taken In Death Valley, yet a mysterious fascination takes possession of all whd have once braved the dangers. Numberless legends have been handed down from generation to generation of strange happenings almost beyond human explanation, yet at the bottom of all runs the streak of gold, for which men daily sell their lives and oftentimes their souls. Old Indian trails and signs still point the way from spring to spring telling whether the water is good or bad, the distance from one to the other, the passable and the Impassable canons, the location of old Indian villages, etc. In order to read the signs correctly, one must be familiar with their ways and customs, and even then it has become difficult on account of changes that are constantly taking place through natural and human agencies. The trails are of different periods, some being much later than others. At Intervals beside the trails are monuments of stone, with a pointed rock showing the direction to take. Two rocks pointing In opposite directions indicate that It is Impassable. The location of metat stones are also significant. A metat stone Is a fiat stone, hollowed In the center, used for grinding acorns for flour and will be found not more than a half day's journey of water. Many springs known to the Indians are not down'on the maps. Endeavoring to find a pass through the mountains on a recent trip, a party followed the Indian trail and signs and were led a course which passed three springs and some old breastworks which Indians had used to hide behind when lying in wait for mountain sheep. One of the first gold excitements was back in the 50s, when Breyfogle found fine free gold, but was unable to return to the exact spot. He was afterward hit with a stone hurled by an Indian which is supposed to have injured his brain. Ren t tv has exDressed the opinion that the Brefogle find was between Willow Springs and the original Bullfrog. Charlie Xyman thinks It is between Keane Springs. Willow Springs and Death Valley, while one of Breyfogle's party described Hole-in-Rock. The wind breaks supposed to have been used by Breyfogle are locaced about eighteen miles south of Rhyolite. Another legend is of an Indian who went into Cerro Gordo with a rock full of free gold, which he sold for $8. The white man tried to get fc him to tell where he found it, but 11 (J the Indian was wise and kept its lo- 0 cation to himself. He was acci- a dentally killed a short time after c while hunting sheep, and the secret ? died with him. Some think this And ^ was the same as Breyfogle's. The valley itself is about all that ? it has been painted. At times t. man t or beast would mire out of sight, o and at other times the shifting sands r would almost bury him alive. Yet ? men live there year after year with- t out feeling that they are incurring 8 any unusual amount of danger. They j, know where thev may and mav not ? go, and how to prepare for emergencies.?Phyolite Herald. c 8UCCES8 OF THE HEBREW8. c t They Are ?a Great Race and Always * Make Headway. p Is America to become the New Jeru- u salem? The names written over the ^ doors and windows on State street. Chicago, and Broadway, New York? 1 the bankers in Wall street, the capital F in railroads, theatres and newspapers, the human cloud that hangs over the t Ghetto-land are signs of the advance v of a nation, and not its exodus. If all the Jews In this country were j, assembled in a single community, they v would make a city larger than Boston and St. Louis combined. There ? are no definite figures to show what t would be the wealth of such a city o of Jews. 8 c In New York city alone there are ^ more Jews than there are in Ger- c many, France, Great Britain, Italy, ? Spain and Switzerland put together. ( They worship under the laws of g Moses In thirty-seven synagogues. F Every fifth person in all that region belongs to the family of Abraham. Asked "Why are the Jews so unl- ? formly successful in business?" Os- ^ car Solomon Strauss, twice American c minister to Turkey and a well known Jewish lawyer and merchant, said: * "When I lived In Georgia my ifath- c er sent me to the Baptist Sunday <3 school?there was no other in Tal- * bottom. He said he would rather f have me among the Baptists than j not to receive any religious Instruc- f! tlon at all. Hence, I think I can I look upon the Jews objectively and ' not wholly within the purview of the J race. The success of *he Jews as u traders and men of business and men of wealth has been overdrawn. " John D. Rockefeller or Andrew Carnegie Is worth more than all the a Jews in America lumped together. The Jew, no matter what the opinion J of the world may be, is a broadspirited man. He spends much and, d therefore, his wealth is exaggerated. 11 "First of all he is said, to be a j, trader, but other races slur over the a fact that he hasn't been free to * choose his occupation. Europe drove " him out of agriculture. The meohan- t ical crafts were shut to him. My c family, I have said, were farmers. p There Is a region in Russia where the Jews are industrious and skilled agriculturists. Persecuted as they were, hemmed in as to their means of gaining a living, legislated against and robbed of what they had, the Jews were compelled to adjust themselves to circumstances and to accept such narrow opportunities as were nff orpH "The Jew is said to have what is known as the commercial instinct. Hume tells us that under Richard I 500 Jews sought safety in the castle of York, where, not being strong enough for defense, they killed their wives and children, threw the bodies over the walls into the mob below and, setting fire to the castle, were themselves burned alive. The gentry, owing money to the Jews, hastened to the cathedral, where their bonds or promissory notes were kept, and made a bonfire before the altar. 'The compiler of the Annals of Waverly, in relating this event,' Hume says, 'blesses the Almighty for thus delivering over this Impious race to destruction.' History blazes with such stories of self-sacriflce and barbarity. The commercial Instinct in this particular case appears to have been on the other side. "Instead of the Jew being a nat ural barterer he is the most spiritual -i man alive. He has been pounded by ? the ages, robbed and massacred, but he yields neither his tradition nor his I ideals. Had he been materialistic he , would have sold out long ago and ( bought peace. If he would Join the Greek church he would be safe in ^ Russia. Rather than do that he will ^ walk into the Jaws of hell. There- t fore, I say he is spiritualistic or I idealistic rather than practical or material. "Were I to choose a family that t: would live, I would have to endure hnrrishins and nersecutlons. Were I a to choose one to die, I would give it pleasure and luxury. The Jew, denied his civil rights, despoiled of his prop- I erty, scourged and murdered, has been jj made tougher and longer-lived. His enemies have given him strength, and g trained him most admirably for the battle of life, no matter in what part of the world fortune may lead him. "But," was the question recently put to Mr. Strauss by James B. Morrow, i who tells the story, "the signs in J Broadway would indicate that the Jew is essentially an able and successful J merchant? "Your view is purely Christian," Mr. Strauss replied. "Nor do you an- 1 alyze the fact. Years ago Americans I did the rough and heavy work of the nation. Then came the Irish and the American moved up. By and by the Italians swarmed in, and the Irish gol 1 to be policemen, saloon-keepers and J politicians. When Broadway was much m shorter than It is now all of the names on the signs were American. Bui those old-time merchants became opulent, they no longer desired to be ( small shopkeepers, and so they went: v into banks and manufactories. Now m the Jews have their stores. In a generation the signs that hang and swing today in Broadway will be down and others will be up. Perhaps the names will be Italian. No race goes back in this country, but each, being prudent, industrious and ambitious, goes onward to better conditions."?New York Commercial. p -1 O ,.i CI | / I ne tbtapc ui avvui uurnnami ? Burnham, the American scout, who was Lord Roberts' chief of scouts, was one of the most Interesting fig- I ures in the South African war. Somo ^ of his adventures are as thrilling as the wildest Inventions of the writers I of dime novels, differing only in the Important respect that they are true. Mr. Frederick Unger, the American ^ war correspondent, relates one of them in his book, "V/ith 'Bobs' and Kruger." Burnham once allowed himself to a be captured and led Into DeWet's F camp, hoping to get information b and then escape. Ho conceal- ? ed his Identity but was betrayed by ti another prisoner, a British officer, c who, in spite of Burnham's slg-ns, stupldly called him by name. A special gruard was immediately placed over lim, and on the march he was put . nto a trek wagon, closely covered exept In front. An armed driver sat m the seat, a guard rode at each side rd one behind. Learning from the onversatlon of his guards that when hey reached the railway he would \ i sent to Pretoria by train, he knew i it' must escape then or never. < He kept awake at night and watch- 1 d his chance. It came when the Irlver got down to give some direc Ions to the native boy leading the j jen. Burnham crept up on the seat, 1 rom which he slipped down to the art tongue, and from there he slid 1 uietly to the ground, prostrate under j he cart which passed over him. The ruards on the side could not see, but < hose behind might. He lay still, reparing to endure even the tread I if a horse and not give a. sign. The night was dark. The horses or i he following cart stepped carefully ! iver him, and their riders just hap- i >ened not to look down. The next art, drawn by oxen, was some dis- < ance behind and before It came up lurnham rolled swiftly to the side of he road, where he laid until the car tassed. Then, before another came ip, he had time to roll several hun- j Ireds yards into the night, and was I or the moment safe. But now his escape was discovered. | 'he column halted and Its lights apteared. Horsemen rode up and down he line, shouting and firing shots. )ther horsemen rode up and down he veldt, and several came close to ! rhere Burnham was lying. In the arkness he looked so like a lump < f grass that he escaped notice. Had its pursuers waited till daylight he rould have been taken. After a while the column moved on. ,nd Burnham rose to his feet and truck oft southward for Bloen^onein. He spent two days and nights n the veldt hidden by day on the ummits of kopjes, from which he ould see Boer scouts, evidently on he lookout for him. At last he sue- i eeded in reaching Bloemfontein, af- i er forty-eight hours without food. < le had gained important Information rom the careless conversation of his ] uards, and had accomplished his j urpose. i ... 1 Expensive Green Turtle.?The iesh of the green turtle often brings 50 a pound, said an oyster dealer. . .'his rich meat comes to us from the oral reefs of the West Indies.
