Known to the Judge.
Lawrence Jerome, The father of
District Attorney William Travers
Jerome, was noted in his day as a wit
and a Joker. He was once called on
to testify in a suit in which he believed
that he had no evidence of any
value to offer. He tried to persuade
the lawyer to save him the bother of
hanging around the courtroom, but In
vain. .On the day set for the trial
Larry, as he was known to every one,
was In court early, but his name was
not called all morning. When In the
middle of the afternoon he was finally
asked to take the witness stand he
. was In no pleasant humor, but his
face wore a placid smile.
"What is vour name?" asked the
! lawyer.
The witness looked at him in apparent
amusement. What is your
name?" the repetition came, a bit
pharply.
"Why. you know my name," replied
Mr. Jerome.
"Yes, I know I do, but I want you
to tell It to the court." waving his
hand toward the judge.
"Why, the judge knows me as well
as you do."
"Your honor," turning toward the
bench, "will you kindly direct the
witness to answer the question?"
"The witness will answer the question,"
came back sternly.
"Why, judge," said Mr. Jerome
plaintively, "you know my name as
well as Mr. does. . Didn't we
three have a drink together at recess?"
The judge rapped down the audible
smiles which arose all over the
courtroom and meekiy directed the
stenographer to enter the witness'
name as Lawrence Jerome.?New
York Tribune.

Mart Hoover vears airo. when Kan
MS was not the cultivated commonwealth
it has since become, had sent
a consignment of corn to a commls
'slon merchant in Kansas City. The
merchant telegraphed, telling the consignor:
"Your credit la $27.40. Draw
on me at sight."
But Hoover was mad. He had expected
his money, and none came. He
felt he had been duped, and he treasured
up the grievance. One time,
about six weeks later, the commission
man came to Hoover's town, got out
of the bus and started to walk down
the street. Hoover saw him and instantly
drew his revolver and fired.
His eye was fairly good. The bullet
cut away the merchant's necktie and
unfastened his collar.
Then Hoover put up his gun.
"That's expensive shootin'," said
he, "but I reckon you're as sorry as I
am."

No Chancbb Taken.?A Glasgow
steamer was laboring in a heavy sea,
the waves sometimes sweeping her
decks, but the officers assured the passengers
that there was no danger, and
all seemed reasonably calm with the
exception of one meek-appearing little
man, who, every few minutes,
would approach an officer and anxiously
inquire of he thought the ship
would founder.
"No. I tell you!" one of them finally
exclaimed, with impatience. "What
Is the matter with you? Look at
these other people?they are not
scared to death."
"Oh, I'm not scared," the man replied,
"but if the ship was going to
founder I wanted to know a little
ahead of time."
"Oh. wanted to tell your friends'
good-bye and all that?"
"Well, not exactly," the man said,
hesitatingly; "the fact is. my motherin-law
is along with me and if the
ship was quite sure to sink I wanted
to say a few things to her."?Boston

Hoyt came through there once with
one of his attractions. He arrived at
the hotel after all the members of the
company had been assigned rooms.
One >if the company was given the
Washington room, and Hoyt received
a very poor room on the top door, the
proprietor not knowing who he was.
When he came down stairs later,
the gentleman who had got the good
room said: "Mr. Hoyt. they have given
me the room that they used to

"Well," said Hoyt. "the one they

LANCASTER.
Newt, January 19: Mrs. Robinson,
wife of Mr. Dunbar Robinson, of the
cotton mills community, died Thursday
evening. She had been sick for
some time. Her maiden name was
Hare and she was about forty-five
years old. Mr. Robinson and family
moved from the Taxuhaw section to
Lancaster some years ago. Besides the
husband Mrs. Robinson leaves several
children. Her remains were burled in
the new cemetery yesterday afternoon
at 4 o'clock Senator Williams of
Lancaster, has been assigned to the
following committees in the senate:
Commerce and manufactures, immigration.
incorporations, judiciary. Representative
Jones to house committees
on engrossed bills and Federal relations.
Representative Robinson to
committees on banking and insurance
and legislative library Dr. John
Cantzon Foster, formerly of Lancaster,
but now successfully engaged In
the prartlce of his profession in
Rowesvtlle, this state, will be married
on the 22nd instant to Miss Ethel
Boone, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas.
Edward Boone of Rowesvllle. The
ceremony will be performed at the
home of the prospective bride's parents,
at 5.30 o'clock in the afternoon.
As is well known. Dr. Foster is the
o/\n C\t Iha latP F)r J. H- Fos
ter, of Lancaster, and is a young physician
of ability and much promise.
He is a graduate of the South Carolina
college and also of the Medical college
of Richmond. Va The News heartily
commends to the* favorable consideration
of its readers, who are financially
able to respond, the appeal
published elsewhere for contributions
to a fund to be raised to establish a
home for the aged homeless. It appears
that such a benevolent institution
was first suggested by a good lady
of York county, who proposes to give
$1,000. to aid in its establishment.
Thanlts to a kind and generous Providence.
there are comparatively few
old i>ersons In this country without
homes, but the last days on earth of
those few should be made comfortable
and free from want. Will not some
of the philanthropic citizens of means
in the town and county of Lancaster
subscribe liberally to the proposed
home? Nothing has been said, we believe,
as to the location of the home.
Why not Lancaster make an effort to
have it located here?

Wednesday morning to visit her sister.
Mrs. W. G. Ferguson and returned

city. After the marriage Mr. and Mrs.
Gage left for Jacksonville, St. Augustine
and Cuba on a bridal tour. Judge
and Mrs. Gage and Miss Grace Gage
returned yesterday evening. Miss
Martha will visit friends in Aiken before
returning... .A five room cottage
on Mrs. Anna Jones' place at Lewis
Turnout, was burned Monday evening
of last week. An old negro man and
his daughter lived in the house. The
daughter was off on a visit and the
old man went down to the station at
train time, leaving the window up
and a lamp burning on a table near
by. The supposition is that the wind
blew the curtain over the lamp and
either set it afire or turned the lamp
over and set the house on fire. The
fire had advanced too far to save anything
when it was noticed. There was
no insurance Mr. John Cassels,
son of Mr. and Mrs. William Cassels
of Baton Rouge, was killed at Whitmire
about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Young Cassels left home with his gun
Mnnilnv mnrninir nmmimiihlv to STO
hunting but came on to Chester and
sold his gun. A putt of the day was
spent at the home of his uncle and
aunt. Mr. and Mrs. T." N. Bennett.
That night when No. 41 came along
the supposition is he got on between
the baggage and express car and when
the train was slowing up for Whltmlre
he jumped off when the train was still
running at the rate of fifteen or twenty
miles an hour and struck the sharp
corner of a coal car. The left side of
his forehead and head was crushed In
and his brains oozed out. He was
still living when found about day light
and lived until about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon but was never conscious.
An effort was made at once to identify
him and everything possible was
done to try to save his life. Mr. Bennett
hearing of the accident went
over on No. 33 Wednesday morning
and identified him at once. The
body had already been prepared for
burial and he returned with it on the
evening train, taking it to his home
on Pinckney street. Yesterday morning
the burial was in the cemetery at
New Hope Methodist church. Young
Cassels was between seventeen and
eighteen years old and was aiming to
fn to a rock quarry in Georgia where
some of his acquaintances had gone
who had sent back flattering reports.
l'lfixt: Kkksh Air.?The piping of
fresh air to cities is no longer a dream
of scientists. It has been practically
tried, in an experimental way. in the
crowded YVhitechapel district of lyond??n.
under tlie supervision of l)r. T.
<!. Lyon, one of London's most eminent
scientists. The air is sucked into
pipes by powerful suction pumps from
some high elevation where the sanitary
conditions are perfect and forced
into large storage tanks similar to gas
tanks. When stored in these tanks
under pressure, the pure air is distributed
in pipes leading into different
houses.
The air can be distributed through
pipes upward of lifty to one hundred
miles in length without losing any of
its purity. My opening a switch the
customer gets his daily supply of fresh
air in his rooms, while the foul air
is allowed t ? escape through withdrawal
ducts.
When once installed in a city, the
supply of pure mountain ozone can lie
supplied at little cost, and the scientists
estimate that in the congested
uuarters of London lifty per cent of
the ordinary sickness could be moderated
if not entirely eliminated.

ABANDONMENT OF ST. HELENA.
Island of Napoleon's Imprisonment Being
Deserted by Inhabitants.
The cable brings the news that the
few people left on the island of St.
Helena are anxious to get away from
it. This desire is not strange, because
they are as lonely nowadays as the
mutineers of the Bounty on their island,
or Robinson Crusoe on his isle
In the Southern Pacific.
St. Helena has been called both the
water tank and the bumboat of the
South Atlantic ocean. In the old days
before the Suez canal divided Asia
and Africa and let the steamships
from Great Britain and Europe reach
the Orient by another route than
around the Cape of Good Hope.
Jamestown harbor sometimes had a
Meet of fifty vessels riding at anchor
In the shadow of the Barn, as the
mountain of rock overhanging it is
called.
St. Helena has a handy stopping
place not only to take on water, but
also to get supplies of food, fresh
vegetables and perhaps some beef or
mutton to replenish the stores. Usually
the captain stayed long enough
in the harbor to give the men shore
liberty at least for a day. when they
would spend their surplus money In
pony riding or do stunts In climbing
the 600 foot Jacob's ladder up the
face of the barn.
With the opening of the Suez route
St. Helena was no longer the watertank
and bumboat for the Oriental
shipping. Long ago it ceased to be a
stopping place except for a few tramp
steamers, which still go nround the
Cape of Good Hope. Only the prison
ship or government vessels enter
Jamestown bay, with occasionally a
venturesome yacht. whose owner
wants to make a pilgrimage to the
home of Napoleon In exile.
For a time the camps of Rner prisoners
on the island caused a Meet of
guurdships and transports to anchor
off its capital, but when peace was
declared In South Africa and the last
batch of prisoners were returned to
the continent about all the inhabi
tants of St. Helena had to trade upon
was the British garrison. Now even
this is to be withdrawn, and the people
have actually no way of getting
money excepting to circulate what
little there Is upon the island among
themselves.
Thanks to the climate and fertility
of the soil that can be cultivated, they
are in no danger of a food famine,
but money is so scarce thut according
to a recent report of the United States
consul stationed on the island the majority
of them have not enough to pay
their passage to Africa on the occasional
vessel which calls at Jamestown.
The fact is that St. Helena has become
a land of nowhere. Nature apparently
never intended it as a human
habitation, for about the only thing
that is original on the island, except
a few plants, is t' landscape.
This is certainly wild enough and
ugly enough to be original. When the
eruption of the volcano threw the island
from the sea It not only created
the Barn, but jagged the surface with
hills and furrowed it with valleys, some
of which are more'than a thousand
feet deep.
Most of these are bare rocks, because
the rains continually Wash into
the sea the little earth that accumulates
in their bottoms as it crumbles
from the hillside above. Consequently,
the little territory suitable for
grazing sheep and cattle, growing
grain and fruit Is principally on the
tablelands and the more gently sloping
hillsides, but you can sail entirely
around the thirty miles of coast line
and not see a tree or a patch of vegetation?nothing
but walls of the basaltic
rock of which the island is composed.
Go back through Rupert's valley,
however, and you will find clumps of
banana trees, little thickets of bamboo,
while the place where Napoleon
was buried before his body was taken
from St. Helena to Europe is bordered
with a little grove of willows. There
is a story about the willows which Is
worth telling.
Every store in Jamestown has an
assortment of such things as napkin
rings, paper cutters and card cases,
which the tradesmen solemnly say
were made from the wood of these
willows which hang over the resting
place of the emperor. They are stained
and polished so deftly that they
might be easily taken for any other
wood.
As a matter of fact the hull of
many a captured slave vessel towed
into the Jamestown harbor in former
days has contributed to these stores
of relics and far more are made of
oak and teak than were ever fashioned
out of willow. One of the main
sources of income to the island in the
bumbout years was from the sale of
these souvenirs to the crews of the
vessels in port.
Just to show how St. Helena has
been made to order for human occupation,
the naturalist has found that
out of 8(iO different kinds of plants
less than fifty are actually native. The
tin in twin I ivus iirieiniillv came from
India. They grow pood yams in St.
Helena, but the ancestors of these
came from the island of Madagascar.
The grass which forms the pasturage
for the little herds of sheep and
cattle sprang from seed brought from
Cape Colony. The officers of the garrison
kill time by shooting partridges,
but the tlrst birds were originally
from Asia.
St. Helena is pestered by a sort of
sparrow. A pair from Java came to
the island on a sailing ship and Hew

ashore. From them have been bred
swarms of birds which eat so much
grain that they have become a nuisance.
The few mules which draw the
plough and cultivator came all the
way from South America, while Europe
and Cape Colony supplied the
sheep and cattle. One naturalist has

are natives of St. Helena, but his story
has been contradicted by others.
It Is truly a land of contrasts. Walking
along a hillside you can pluck the
gorse just as it grows In Great Pritain.
Go a mile further and you can pick
bananas and pomegranates, as well
as dainties of the tropics.
Within a mile of the olive groves
are orchards of the hardy fruit of the
temperate zone, the difference in climate
being caused of course by the
elevation. Every cottage has its dower
garden for roses, geraniums, fuchsias
and other blooms grow in the
greatest profusion, even in little
clumps of dirt which covers the bare
rock to a depth of only a few inches.
When St. Helena ceased to be a
stopping place for the shipping bound
from Europe to India, China and Japan,
another source of income to its
Inhabitants ceased?the guiding of
visitors to the place made famous by
the footsteps of Napoleon. His rlctors
were good to him, for Eongwood,
the estate provided as his home in
exile, is by far the most picturesque
and most fertile on the island.
Including Deadwood, its neighbor,
the estate contains 2,000 acres. The
new house which was built especially
for him but never occupied, stands on
one of the most attractive sites and
from It a magnificent view can be obtnind
hni f-nme before Xauo
leon ever set foot within its walls.
Dead wood was the location of one
of the Boer prison eainps, where 2,500
lived upon the twenty acres allotted
them for tents and huts, but at one
time fully 5,000 of the soldiers of the
veldt were among the inhabitants of
St. Helena, where they carved really
wonderful things out of wood, horn
and the bones of the cattle given them
for food.
At one time the island contained
fully 10,000 persons, but since Great
Britain has decided to withdraw Its
garrison, not more than a third of
this number remain and us before
stated the majority of those who are
left are planning out how they can
get away from this lonely rock in the
Atlantic. .
NICKNAMES CENTURIES OLD.
They Were Necessary Long Ago to
Distinguish Johns From Williams.
Almost every child has a pet name
or a nickname which has sprung up
in the family, and comes Into daily use
much oftener than the real name set
down in the family Bible. John and
William, Susan and Elizabeth are different
from Jack and Will and Sue
and Bess, as a city ball is froin a
country dunce, and the children themselves
never stop to wonder how these
odd little names found their way Into
the household.
It may seem strange, but it is nevertheless
true, that about the year
1300, nearly one-third of Englishmen
were named William or John, and
from this it will be seen that pet or
nicknames were real necessities to distinguished
so many people of the same
name from one another. For instance.
Will was a different person from WI1mot
or Wilkin or Willcock, and there
might be u half dozen Johns about the
place, but as long as they were called
Jack, Jenkins, Jennings, Micklejohn or
Littlejohn, It made no difference.
Nicknames are almost entirely confined
to names that have descended
from that day to this, for we still talk
of Bob and Tom and Dick and Jack.
These names were brought into England
by their Norman conquerors and
were popular until the old Bible names
introduced in Cromwell's time did
much harm. The Puritan names,
which came even later, if not biblical,
were usually borrowed from some virtue.
To this class belonged Faith,
Hope, Charity and Love. Grace, as
pretty as it Is, was used for its outward
form. Patience was male as well
as female. Prudence was a great favorite,
becoming Prue in the 16th century
and Prudentia in the 17th, while
in the 19th century we have Prudy,
a little New England diminutive.
Sometimes names of sorrow were
used: Tribulation and Humiliation
were considered perfect ones. An unfortunate
holder of the last name determined
to retain it in the family, so
it descended from generation to generation.
These old-time Puritan
names were very harsh, and today one
hardly ever hears them. No one indeed
would like to be called Live-well
or Fare-well or Do-good or Love-God
any more than they would prefer such
names as Tribulation or Lamentation.
When the monarchy was restored the
old names of William and John and
Henry and Richard with many others
of Norman origin came back with all
their abbreviations and twistlngs, and
today we could almost publish a dictionary
of the pet names and nicknames
which cling to our English and
American children.?Boston Herald.
Ki: This country is the greatest consumer
of hides and skins in the world.
It uses in a year 4 8.000,000 goat skins,
24,000,000 sheep skins, 16.000,000
hides of all kinds. 9.000,000 calf skins
and 2,000,000 other skins. It imports
all its goat skins, a total amount of
about $25,000,000 worth, and over
$10,000,000 worth of hides, and over
$17,000,000 worth of other skins, a total
of over $.70,000,000 worth of hides

It has never been my policy to try
to argue the benefits of life Insurance.
I have always believed that it would
be a waste of time and space for the
reason that to argue the matter with
an individual who could read, see and

that no means had yet been devised
that even compared with gilt

After a thorough investigation years
ago I became convinced thaj the
Mutual Benefit of Newark, by reason
of its very economical management,
Us conservativeness and extreme liberality
toward all its policy holders
had done more for them than any

the iight years that I have represented

that today there are hundreds of
good, honest, sensible men all over
