Junnorous department. The Club Man.. A Methodist missionary of Detroit was praising Wu-Tlng-Fang. the former Chinese ambassador, says the Minneapolis Journal. "Mr. Wu entertained me last 'winter at his country house," he said. "I asked him why he disapproved of the idea of sending Chinese commissioners to the various leading countries ?America Germany. France?to study modern government, and he < said: " 'The only thing I am quite positive such commissioners would learn is connoisseurship in French cooking1, what wines to furnish with each course of a dinner, and who are the world's best tailors, liquor merchants and cigar dealers.' "In his amusing way. he then said he had no high opinion of governmental commissions. He would be polite to them, but in a polite way, like the parlor maid, he would express for them some little contempt. "A parlor maid, he went on, awoke her mistress in the middle of the night and whispered: " 'Oh. madam, there's a burglar downstairs.' " 'Nonsense,' said the lady, 'it's only my husband ten to one, just getting home from the club.' " 'No, madam.' said the maid positively. 'It's a burglar, for he isn't stumbling over any thing, nor swearing nor falling down.'" Uscd His Diplomacy.?Harry Laugh l!n told at an exhibition game in Toledo a billiard story, says the Chicago Chronicle. "Once when I had my ov.*n parlor in Columbus." he said. "I was a good deal disturbed by the loss of chalk. Chalk disappeared at a tremendous rate and I said to my helper: " 'Keep a better eye on the chalk, Jim. I'm no millionare." " 'I know the gents wot pockets the chalk. Mr. Laughlln.' Jim said, "but they're reg'lar customers. I guess you wouldn't want me to offend 'em. would you?' " 'Well, no.' said I. 'I wouldn't. You might give them a gentle hint, though. Use your diplomacy.' "Jim, I found out later, used his diplomacy that night. He walked up to one of my best patrons who had just pocketed a pelce of chalk and he said: " 'You're in the milk business, ain't you. sir?" "'Yes. Why?' the patron asked. 1 " '! thought so.' said Jim, 'from the amount of chalk you carry away. The boss likes enterprise, and he told me to tell you that if you wanted a bucket of water now and then you could have one and welcome.' " The Way He Proposed.?"Did you hear about Flossie being engaged?" asked the first young thing. "No. Is it true?" "Yes; and its the most romantic thing you ever heard of. You know Egbert Tigsmore has been paying attention to her for more than a year?" "Yes." "Well, yesterday morning Flossie was helping her mother to clean the house, and she had on an old skirt that she has tried to give to every cook they have had for two years. And she had on an old blouse that had those great, big balloon sleeves, you know?" "Yes, Yes." . "And her hair was all dragging down into her eyes; and she had been tak ing down pictures and dusting them, and there were smears of dirt every way across her face; and her hands were in horrible great big gloves; and she was wearing an old pair of carpet slippers that belonged to her father. And of all things!" "Yes, Yes. What then?" "Egbert proitosed to her while she was looking like that?" "He did?" "He did and. of course, she accepted^ him." "Well, a man who is so deeply In love that he will propose to a girl when she looks that way deserves to be accepted." "Yes; but Egbert proposed over the telephone."?Tit-Bits. Mcsicat, Conversation.?A negro minister from Georgia, who was visiting friends in New York city, went one Sunday to the cathedral on Fifth avenue. He was very much impressed by the service, especially by the choir boys in the processional and recessional. When he returned to the south he resolved to introduce the same thing into his church: so he collected fifteen or twenty little darkles and drilled them until he had them well trained. One Sunday the congregation were greatly surprised to see the choir-boys marching in, singing the processional. The minister noticed that something was wrong; the boy in front was not carrying anything. He leaned over the pulpit, and in order to avoid attracting attention, he chanted in tune to the song they were singing. "What?have you done?with the in?cense pot?" The little darkey, with great presence of mind, chanted back: "I?left it in?the aisle?it was too ?blame hot."?Harper's Weekly. Twicffi In Jeopardy.?An old negro was recently brought before a justice in Mobile. It seemed that I'ncle Mose had fallen foul of a bulldog while in the act of entering the henhouse of the dog's owner. "Look here. Uncle Mose." the justice said, informally, "didn't I give you ten I days last month for this same thins? Same henhouse you were trying to get into. What have you got to say for yourself?" Uncle Mose scratched his head. "Mars Willyum. yo' sent me ter de chain gang fer tr.vin' ter steal some chickens, didn't ye?" "Yes, that was the charge." "An" don't de law say yo' can't be charged twice wid he same 'fense?" "That no man shall be twice placed in jeopardy for the identical act. yes." "Den. sah. yo' des hab ter let me go, sah. Ah war after de same chickens, sah." "Get Wise."?A Laramie woman went to the theatre the other night with some friends, but when they were seated she was separated from her friends by a man and woman who seemed to pay no attention to each other. The woman figured out that if the two people would sit over a seat she could sit with her friends. Bracing up her nerve, she said sweetly to the man. "Beg pardon, are you here alone?" The man stared at the curtain as if he were drawing a salary for it. "I beg pardon," the woman said, a little louder, "are you alone?" "Get wise." whispered the man hoarsely through the extreme corner of his mouth, "this is my wife?"?Laramie Boomerang. ittioccUaiiotis J5ciuliii(i. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING.

Cauthen, of the cotton mills community. were married last Wednesday night by Magistrate W. I*. Caskey.... Miss Annie Bludworth of Yorkville. formerly with the Williams-Hughes company here, visited friends in Lancaster a few days ago ...While some farmers say that they have good stands of cotton, many others complain of having such poor stands that they are planting over again. Cotton that was up two weeks ago has since "died out." Farmers of Fairfield and other counties are exoeriencing the same trouble with cotton stands this season. In fact, unfavorable crop conditions* prevail generally throughout the cotton states Mr. Andrew J. Marshall, son of the late Thomas Marshall, and Miss Ethel Mackey of Heath Springs, were married in Kershaw last Sunday, at the Methodist parsonage, by the pastor, the Rev. O. A. Jeffcoat. The charming bride is a daughter of Mr. Z. F. Mackty and a sister of Mr. Curtis Mackey of the First National bank of Lancaster.

Bell had an exciting ride on a motorcycle late yesterday afternoon and as a result has a badly broken finger and some other bruises. Mr. Thos. Owen recently purchased Mr. J. M. Bell's motorcycle and as he was not familiar with its ways he went by the telephone office and asked Mr. T. B. Bell, who was there, to start it off for him. Mr. Bell got on the wheel and when he started the engine, the valve seemed to have been open and the wheel dashed off at a terrific speed. Seeing It was beyond his control he attempted to turn up the hill when he reached Gadsden street but the speed was so great the wheel struck the curbing of the side walk about J. T. Collin's store before he could get turned. He jumped off about the time the wheel struck the curbing, but the little finger of his right hand caught in the spokes and was turned right back over his hand, breaking the bone near his hand and dislocating and pushing the joint a piece down into the hand. Mr. J. E. Cornwell, who was a witness to the accident, straightened the finger, and it was set by Drs. Brice and McConnell, and he has not yet suffer- j ed a great deal of pain with it. CLEVELAND.

Ormand At the time of our last issue we stated that there was a tie between G. W. Kendrick and J. C. Patrick, candidates for mayor of our town, and that no official announcement of the result had been made. Thursday morning the registrar and judges of election got together and broke the tie between Messrs. Kendrick and Patrick by casting lots for the office. Eight blank tickets and one with Mr. Kendrick's and another with Dr. Patrick's name on these were placed in a hat and the first name drawn was to be the fine elected.

There are 126 criminal and 122 civil cases on Hip docket for trial. The two most important criminal actions are murder cases, one against Graham Farror for the murder of Noah Johnson, the other against Annie Williams, a negress, who it is charged, killed a traveling clock fixer about two years ago with a pair of scissors. The usual court week crowd will be on hand and tlie horse-traders, too. will more than likely be in evidence as usual.... Wednesday afternoon Miss Maggie Sellers and Mr. W. II. Braswcli, of McAdensville. were married by Capt. W. I. Stowe at the hitter's residence on Main street. The young couple drove to Gastonia and arrived here just as Captain Stowe was preparing to hear a civil case at the city hall. The modesty of the couple forbade their tak ing the vows in public so the magis tvate told the parties to the civil sul that court would have to wait a fei moments until he could tie the knc as the contracting parties did not wis to wait until court was over. The drove to Capt. Stowe's residence an the ceremony was performed in a fei moments. The .iappv couple the drove to McAdensville where the will reside Andrew Burgess, white man of Gaffney S.

However much the audience migh laugh, even to a tumult of merrlmen lasting a minute or two or perhap longer, Artemus Ward stood with th gravest mien and unmoved face. H could not help laughing while writlni or planning a good thing, but no nec romancer was ever more self poise* when he stood before his audience. The greatest fun of the whole wa the manipulation of the panorama it self. Thli would go wrong ever now and then, and the audience woul* fairly scream with laughter, supposinj it was a mistake, while as a matter o fact Artemus was always at the bot torn of it all. For instance, the prairie fire woul* go down at the wrong time and thei break out again when the scene it wa to illustrate had wholly passed, or th sick looking moon would refuse t I stay down in the midst, while the lec I turer was apparently almost overcom with vexation and despair. Then th wrong music would be played, and th house would break out into roars o laughter, as when he touched upon on really pathetic recital and the pian (ground out "Poor Mary Ann." In the midst of a really instructiv talk on the Mormon question or a tru ly impressive description of the moun tain scenery around Salt Lake h would stop as if a sudden feeling o distress had come over him whlcl | must be explained, and, pointing to ai absurd animal in the foreground of i picture, he would tell the audience ho\ he had always tried to keep faith wit] them, but mistakes must sometime occur. "I have always spoken of this anima as a buffalo and have always supposei he was a buffalo but this morning m; artist came to me and said, 'Mr. Ward I can conceal it from you ho longer that is a horse!'" The effect was slm ply indescribable. When quiet came again, he wout seemingly become wholly lost to ev erything around him as he describe^ some absorbing and thrilling Incldeni turning it into ridicule the next min ute by the innocent and apparentl merely incidental remark, "I did no see this myself, but I had it from j man Just as reliable as I am."?Enocl Knight in Putnam's. LAST OF MILKMAIDS. Henceforth Cows Will Be Milked B Electricity. The public in general, and dairy men in particular, will doubtless b keenly interested In the machine-milk ing experiments which have latel been conducted with such success i the United States. It is, of course no news to those in the business tha i during the last fifty years many at tempts have been made to provide mechanical substitute for the milk maid, but until lately these attempt have ended in failure. Hundreds of patents have been tnk en out by inventors for milking ma chines, but when put to the test the refused to fulfill all necessady rc quirements. America, however, claims to nav solved the difficulties in a most sails factory manner, and today there ar over 1,000 milking machines in use i the states. These machines are c two different types, one being worke by foot power and the other by a electric motor. In both cases the mo chines have a couple of tubes, v it four attachments at the end of eacl enabling the operator to milk tw cows at once, thus causing a grcsi saving of time. Each machine can be so ad juste that it will milk at a last or slow rati a id it has been proved that machin n liked cows yield more butt r tha o iers. One might naturally suppose thr th>' animals themselves would nt take very kindly to the introductio of such machines. It has been fount however, that, while some may be little restless at first, on account t the clicking of the pulsators. as rule they soon become quiet and ret one iled to the action, and stand sti chewing their cud without manifest ing any discomfort. It is estimated that machine milk eis reduce the labor by about one half, and consequently their introduc tion enables the dairyman to rea greater profits and enlarge his busi ncss. Furthermore, when the ma chines are kept clean, the milk fror them contains fewer bacteria tha hand drawn milk, although, of courst carelessness in cleansing may mak them nuisances rather than aids t the dairyman.?London Tit-Rlts. I- KUROKI'S CAREER. It A Famous General Is of Polish Ori?t h y To Gen. Itel Kurokl, who has ard rived in America as special represen,v tative of the Japanese government to n the Jamestown exposition, is ascribed y by friend and foe alike much of the a great tactical advantages attained by s the troops of the mikado in the late It war. t As head of the Japanese first army - nnfi until the arrival of Field Marshal e Oyama before Yiao-Yang the comy mander-in-chief in Manchuria, he It showed his skill and expertness in sue perlntending the first debarkation of >t his troops.

Ten years later he assisted e in suppressing the Insurrection. In II the Chino-Japanese war he command ed a division, a dozen of forts defende ing Wei-Hel-Wei. In the Eoxer war - of 1900 he commanded that part of e the Japanese force which distinguishk ed itself In the relief of the legations - In Pekln. s Kuroki Is credited with being an t administrator of the first class. He I- was a member of the war council in I- Tokio before taking the field, and from his previous campaigns had gained an intimate knowledge of the topography of Korea and China, information which gave him great adit vantages in his movements against the Russians. t Ever since he began to excite adt miration for his military skill against s the Russians various accounts of his e origin have been going the rounds of A V-? n V* I ra m n V* _ c tne press. I Iiey agrccu mm mo iuuui? er was a Japanese, but variously - stated that his father was a French3 man, a German and a Pole. A German newspaper which accepted the theory s of the Japanese general's French ori gin has been put right by Yosati Oshy ima. a nephew of Gen. Kuroki, who 3 Is now studying in Europe and who S writes the following letter: t "My uncle Kuroki is of Polish ori gin. His father was a Polish nobleman by the name of Kourowski, who d fled from Russia after the revolution n of 1831. He first went to Paris, and 3 afterward to Turkey, and later joine ed ttie Holland troops at Borneo, o From there he went to Japan and - married a Japanese. From this union e was born Gen. Kuroki, who in the e family is teasingly called 'the Pole.' e His father upon his deathbed said to f him that perhaps some day he wwuld e be able to take vengeance upon the o Russians. As the name Kourowski is difficult to pronounce in Japanese, my e uncle wrote and pronounced his name - Kuroki. My uncle is very proud of his - Polish origin." e The first serious-land engagement ' of the Russo-Japanese war brought Kuroki into prominence. This was the 11 battle of the Yalu, fought on May 1, a 1904. With regard to this the milv itary correspondent of the London Times says: "As a model of troop s leading the battle on the Yalu was a very brilliant affair, proving that the Japanese staff possesses military mer^ it of the highest order. The men were y also splendid, and the whole military ' machine moved like clock work." The problem which Kuroki solved in dls lodging the Russian forces was one of considerable difficulty. At the rl time of the battle the Russians were - estimated at 20,000 strong, with two d batteries, one of eight field guns and t, the other of eight machine guns. - These troops were distributed along y a front of twenty miles, on the right t or Manchurian bank of the Yalu river, a Kuroki, with the first army, had made h a fatiguing march of more than two hundred miles from Seoul, only to find the enemy protected by the Yalu. Engaging the enemy all along the line, the Japanese general sent one of his y three divisions to execute a long Hanking movement on the Russian left, while with the other two he threatened an attack on the centre. Ortce their left was turned the day i?n> ft^Pure - In The only ex a Pure Gra M P?w^er is ROYAL costs yi ,r woHk pliate of Lime po1 ?-r\ l//>o? ?"? ? 1" w awvp j \J Ul U1 11 VBl effects of these ^K9B o was lost for the Russians-and nothing I remained for them but retreat. It was the battle of Liao-Yang, however, that Kurokl proved his title to greatness. Prom August 2f? to Au- ' gust 30, when he effected a Junction with the other Japanese armies around Llao-Yang. he advanced night and day over almost roadless moun- ' tains, pushing the enemy before him. He then made a rapid change of base j fr< m Anping to a point on the east- j ern side of the railroad, with his left i wing ten miles north of Llao-Yang, 1 thus leaving a wide gap between his I troops and the main body of the Japanese. His purpose was to cut the railroad, 1 | which was General Kuropatkln's only possible avenue of retreat, and at- 1 tempt a surrounding movement. He was frustrated In this by Kuropatkln's masterly retreat and threatened counter attack with a superior force. The Japanese general had to maintain his position with desperate fighting. For on a bare and rocky hill, Gen. Kurokl observed the conflict, exposed to the fierce rays of the sun. The morning . of September 3, the fifth day of the * battle, was an anxious time at the J headquarters of Gen. Kurokl. It was evident the Russians confronting ' him had heavily reenforced. The members of the general staff were ] silent concerning tthe situation. It was considered that Kuroki would be fortunate if he was able to hold his , own. x J It became known on the morning' of j September 4 that communication with j the other Japanese armies had been cut. The position of a brigade on l Kuroki's extreme right became extremely critical but in the afternoon the prospect, brightened. Gen. Kurokl showed his tactical skill by concentrating his army, drawing in the left division to .reenforce the troops holding the front. The left division made a forced inarch, crossing the Taitse river near a hill where Kurokl had stationed himself. The silence and suspense came to an end In the evening and at five o'clock couriers galloped forward and Gen. Fuji announced that the nrmv would bt-srin the pursuit of the enemy. At one time during the ba'tle of August 26. which was the critical day of Kuroki's movement, the Japanese general had divested himself of all his reserves. Sir Ian Hamilton, who accompanied Kuroki all through the war. comments on the move as follows : 'Kuroki knew very little of the course of events on his right except that the twelfth division had taken j half of the division they had been told ( of to attack and that they were still { fighting; he had Just heard that a se- i rlous attack was about to be launch- I ed against his centre, which was only three or four miles to his Immediate front, and he could hear and see for ' himself that the Russians in this part of the field were numerous and full of fight. In giving this order then I think he had come to what one of his I staff described as unepeau audacicuse.' In fact It was an action demanding an uncommon amount of nerve to , part with the Twenty-ninth regiment ] (his reserve) at a moment so critical. J "Few generals I have ever met ( would have had the hardihood to deprive themselves with this reasoning, unfaltering completeness of every single man of their reserves at a mo- 1 ment when the ever increasing fire of 1 the musketry and the pale, breathless | messengers from the firing line all ] foreboded the approach of a crisis in 1 that part of the fight which was raging under their very eyes. "fl- ? <- ,lr, iha r?l(t I iiicict in uw uuiiiuig up vnv ? ? guard tendency about Kuroki. His : method of handling: his reserves is the ' very acme of boldness. Never will j Kuroki merit the reproach which Na- ; poleon levelled at Joseph after Tala- I vera when he told him the plain truth . and told him that a general who retreats before he uses his reserves deserves to be shot forthwith."?Boston Evening Transcript. Amazon An Immense Rivkr.?A sea rather than a river is the Amazon, with 160 miles of width at its mouth. The Amazon drains a territory of 2,500,000 square miles, ten times the area of France, and in connection with itself and its tributaries there are said to be 50,000 miles of navigable water, one-half of which is suitable for steam navigation by large vessels, j The number, length and volume of the Amazon's tributaries are in proportion to its magnitude. More than 20 superb rivers 1,000 miles and upward in length pour their waters into it, and streams of less importance are nunfberless. At the junction of the Ucayall ' with the Amazon a line of 50 fathoms does not reach the bottom, and in breadth it is more like a sea than a river. The longest tributary, the Madeira, has a length fit 2,000 miles. The distance from the source of the Amazon in the Andes to the Atlantic ocean is 2,000 miles in a direct line, but by the course of the river it is nearly 4,000 miles.?Chicago Tribune. < IOYA AKING POWD ffaefe from t _r urapeireamgr i, cuse for buying a ipe Cream of Tar to save a few cen du a few cents more per can th kvders, but it is worth far more tl scuits, cakes and pastry free fro cheapening substitutes.
