C. 4 Some of the Easter hats are cer tainly wonderful creations. How, when and where they were originat ed is a mystery. The smallpox in Yorkvill seems to be of a virulent kind. There has been twelve calses and seven deaths, which is an alarming death rate. j Castro has been sent back to France. It seems as if the nations of the world have determined that he shall not land in Venezuela again. The Louisville Courier-Journal don't think that Mr. Roosevelt will ever forgU that earthquake, foi failing to make connection with him at Messina. The Nashville American think? that Mr. Roosevelt's avoidance of publicity is quite as remarkable as his prowess in busting trusts with a brass band. The persecution of Gov. Haskell, of Oklahoma, by Roosevelt and Hearst, came to an abrupt end last week by the Bndictments being quashed by the judge. The Cammoner says the wave of Taft prosperity se?ms to be floating up an unusually large lot of notic es of wage reductions in various manufacturing industries. Working so late in the field makes supper late; aud the tired mother , must wash the dishes and potter , about until bedtime, in stead of rest- . ing. Better have an earlier supper ' and an hour to read and rest. . Should Senator Tillman decline to ( be a candidate for re-election, don't ] forget to include Mayor Rhett of Charleston in your list of probable , successors. The man that beats ; him will be the Senator. , The church should take up the | fight agaiust tuberculosis. It is a ? monster, and the churches of all , v^noTinat'O'.i; could do no nobier ; work than help stamp it out. Lever was the only Congressman , from South Carolina that voted for a duty on lumber. All the other , Congressmen from, this State voted , for free lumber as demanded by the ; ,...i;j;:al Democratic platform. Hal Chase, first baseman of the , Kl-w York American League base- < ball team, has smallpox over in Augusta. It is supposed he con- j traded the disease at Macou, Ga. \ These smallpox ca.-cs are getting \ entirely too common. i Judge T. J. Mackey, who di;d in i Washington last week, was a veteran > of the Mexican war, and requested i that his name be engraved on the i palm?tto tree in the State grounds in Columbia. 3i' we mistake not, the old veteran's name is on the 1 Palmetto tn e already. Samuel Kline, 2"> years old, re-' cently of New York, and his bride, of three weeks, Ida Branz Kline, aged 21. were found lying dead from bullet wounds on the floor of their rooms at Portland. Maine. It is supposed that it was a case of sui cide and murder, as the couple be gan to quarrel a week after they were married. The Florence Times says "the people of this country do not want tariff on anything. It is not fair to the masses of the people, and rep resentatives of the South in Congress are supposed to be the representa tives of the masses, not of the class es. If they propose to represent 'interests' in congress they ought to tell their constituents so when they are on the campaign." ? Gov. Fernald, of Maine, is oppos ed to making the punishment of kidnapping equal to that of murder, as proposed by some, lest offenders might kill the victim if liable to ap prehension with the child in their possession. We think he is right. The stork recently left three boys and two girls in the home of a North Carolina farmer. The mother of the brood should have a life pension from the State as well as nation. The Women's Federated Clubs succeeded in electing one of their number a member of the school board of Topeka, Kansas. They paid dearly for their victory if the reports are true. It is said many negro women voted, and quite a number of these were hauled to the plolls in club women's carriages. Nearly all the club women were ac /tr*e in getting $ome}stiQ servants and colored women, who do their washing and ironing, to the polls. $1.50 .73 .40 Queer Sort of a Fellow. A queer sort of a man has just made his appearance in New York. He calls himself Charles Quill and seems to be electric proof. At a private exhibition recently he allow ed himself to be strapped into an electric chair, similar to the one in Sing Sing prison, and a direct cur rent of electricity drawn from a nearby feed wire was turned into his body to the amount of 1.S00 volts. (This is 100 more volts than are used In executions at the prison. Quill ! seemed to enjoy it. He endured this huge voltage for fully a minute. During .that time his assistant touch ed various parts of his body with an alcohol soaked handkerchief, which immediately burst into flames. Quill asserts that electricity will not kill unless it burns, and he ex plains his immunity by the fact that his body contains an unusual amount of carbon. He played with electricity as though it were the most harmless thing in the world. With 1.S00 volts sizzling into one hand, he would light a candle, or set aglow an incandescent light with the other. He applied a piece of carbon, held between his teeth, to a similar piece attached to another wire and sup plied a perfect arc light. He drew forth a current of such intensity with one finger, that he lighted a cigar ette from the heat. Quill said he first came in contact with a voltage of electricity in Sun Francisco, when he was employed by the gas and electric company. He got too close to one of the dyna mos, and a "shut-off" of 2,300 volts entered his body. "Although ap parently dead." he said. "I was con scious through it all. I could neith er move nor cry out. It seemed as though I was tied between two dynamos with the currents flowing through my body and burning me up, and T was powerless to .help my self. When I was revived I felt no ill effects." Quill has offered to go to Sing Sin? and make a test. He says that when a man is ?electrocuted he is only in a comatose state and that death comes when the autopsy is held. A peculiar effect Quill at tributes to electricity is the extreme lassitude it creates. After a shock he loses from two to three pounds. The electric chair feat he would not undertake oftener than once a week. We would like to know what ef-1 feet a stroke of lightning would ! have 011 Quill. | How It Works. In commenting on the new tariff bill, which has just pased the House of Representatives, Ithe .Florence Times says "without proposing in any way to criticise the motives of the South Carolina congressmen who iv i 11 favor tariff on lumber, we want :o point out to our readers just how such-iniquitous burdens are laid on he people as are laid in that tariff im. , "Our congressmen, coming from a ieople 'always boasting of being ibove seeking selfish ends at the ;ost of the principles of right and wrong, are said to be advocating the ariff on lumber because they would protect' some of their constituents, Lhis, they feel, and argue, will be for the good of the country, the whole of the constituents. "Congressmen from all other parts of the country are arguing along just such narrow lines, and the peo ple have the burden to bear, and our congressmen can tell us that *11 they advocated was a little aid j for 'our section,' while everybody was commercial interest. The others will tell th"ir people the same story. "But in the push it will be a poor, lone and friendless industry that will not have its share of protection, and the masses of the people pay for it and the trusts get all the benefit, and still we continue to send men to congress for the little rakings and scrappings about that, they can dig out of the depleted public treasury and have scattered around home for us to feed on." We think it unfortunate that any congressman from the South voted for the protection i-i any article in the new tarin bill. It will be used all over th" country by the Repub licans" as a justification for their passing the iniquitous thing, which will rob the South of millions of dol lars without helping it at all. Dem ocratic congressmen, and especially Southern Democratic congressmen, should let the Republicans fix up and pass their own bills to rob the people. The Tramp Problem. In these good old Republican days the old time tramp problem is again presenting itself to municipal au thorities. For instance, the little town of Celina. Ohio, is daily over run with tramps. Recently eighteen of these characters were taken from the calaboose before Mayor P. E. Kenney. Later Mayor Kenney wrote to the Celina Daily Standard that "Marsha! Weber was notified that several tramps, headed this way, had set fire to some freight cars, on the L. E. & W. east of Celina, and he was asked to be on the lookout for them. He picked up a few of the tramps about town, and had eigh teen in the lock-up Saturday morn ing, and among them the men want ed. Eighteen! Think of it! In these 'prosperous Republican times,' and a few mornings ago fourteen. If Bryan had been elected would not this condition be 'pie' for Re publican newspapers? Possibly Bry an is responsible for all of this dis tress and destitution. I say desti tution, because several of the eigh teen locked up last night carry union cards, and are actually seeking em ployment. As I say, Bryan may be responsible for this, for he predicted It If the trusts were re-elected. It can not be charged to Taft or Roose velt, for Taft promised abundant prosperity if elected, and Roosevelt paved the way by 'bustin' the trusts. It must be Bryan that is doing it. But the tramp problem. As soon as the Republican party gets a breath ing spell, after it gets through in creasing salaries, and defeating the probe legislation that the fool people demand it might be asked to take up the tramp problem." Republican prosperity is responsible for all the tramps as well as the trusts in this country. P. MARION CRAWFORD DEAD. Noted American Novelist Passes Away in Italy. Sorrento, April 9.?F. Marion Crawford, the novelist, died here at half-past 7 o'clock tonight. He was born in 1854. Mr. Crawford had been ill for some time, one of the symptoms of his affliction being fevers, which tended greatly to weaken him. Prof. J Enrico di Renzi, director of the American clinic of the University of Naples, was called into consultation at the Villa Crawford some ten days ago and found Iserious bronchieal and pluretic complications. His ill ness had its origin in an attack of influenza. Death came peacefully and while his entire family was at th? bedside. Mr. Crawford's oldest ! son had arrived hastily from London. Until this afternoon tiie patient re tained consciousness, but apparently he knew that the end was near and with calmness he encouraged his ] family to bear up and to cease weep j ing. The novelist's last words were: j* "I enter seren ly into eternity." j According to the attending phy sicians .Mr. Crawford collapsed last: night owing to extreme weakness, j He then was without fever. Sadly j he expressed the presentment that he I was soon to die, but almost imme | diately afterwards, when referring to the approaching Good Friday, he said: "I die with Christ." Mr. Crawford's daughter at his request then read to him Plato's dialogue, the novelist declaring they taught him serenity in death. Marvels of Monkey Talk. About a quarter of a century ago a man was watching some monkeys in .the Cincinnati Zoological Gardens, There were a ?reat many small mon keys and one large mandrill?all together in two cages connected by an open door. The smaller monkeys were afraid of the mandrill, who lorded it over his little neighbors. The man {noticed that two of the small monkeys, were always near the door, apparently communicating to the others what the mandrill was) doing. Certainly movements of his always caused certain sounds from them. The~~other monkeys acted ac cordingly. "From that time I determined to learn the speech of monkeys," says I Prof. Richard L. Garner. And he has done so, too. Twice he has gone to Africa and lived in tho jungle with them. He can talk to the monkeys in their own language; has taught one of them to say a word; and once got one to witness a legal document, declares Arthur B. Reeve in a very interesting ar ticle on men and monkeys in the January Hampton's Magazine. After spending several years in ineffectually attempting to learn the "monkey language" in Zoos, Dr. Garner had an inspiration. He went to the Smithisonian Institution in Washington with the proposition that he use a phonograph in studying monkeys. The idea appealed to one of the authorities. Dr. Baker, and Garner was allowed to go ahead. At the institution at that time were two monkeys of different sne cies "'ept in the same cage. Th? female was removed and what, she said was recorded on the phono graph. Then the machine was start ed in the enge with the male. He j. looked up in surprise for the other ! monkey. Seeing none, he walked gingerly aronu'i the machine, and sat down in/rfront of it. Then he nut his harm down the born. Sti-1 he could find no monkey. He re tired, nuzzled, to th? far end of h?<5 carre, nnd s^id a few things him- ; peir which were also taken down, j Whan this record was In turn re- j nented before the female she seemed j fn recognize his voice. loafer Pro fessor Garner took records of a Cebus fa little South America mon key) in Chicago, and when they were repented in New York tn another Cebus they were apparently recogniz ed. * j Public Guardian.

Weeping Eczema Kept Spreading on Little Sufferer?A Score of Treatments Prove Dismal Failures ? Grateful Father Telis of CURE ACHIEVED BY CUTICURA REMEDIES "It gives me great pleasure to express my deep gratitude in appreciation of th* incalculable benefit that, the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent did my little boy. He had an awful rash all over his body and the doctor said it was eczema. It was terrible and used to water awfully. .Any piace the water "went it would form another sore and 't would become crusted. A score or moro : physicians failed utterly and dismally in their efforts t.o remove the trouble. Then 1 was told to use the Cuticura Reme dies. I got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint ment and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and before we had used half the Resolv ent I could see a change in him. In about two months he was entirely weil. When people see him now they ask, 'What did you get to cure your baby?' and all we can say is. 'It was the Cuti cura Remedies.'
