Harvey C-aba niss, one of the applicants for catch er with the university team, en ugh last year and the season before fo Newberry college, and his record am work with that school attracted tit i attention of many Southern basobal managers. " Columbia of the South Atlantic league made Cabaniss a very flatter ),. ing offer, while other clubs in Hit , South made him attractive proposi | tions. lie is taking a medical coursi & at the university and does not care ti 1 go into professional baseball. "Cabaniss is said to be an excel ? lent man behind the bat, being i :ft heavy worker and ii fine man fo .couching the pitchers. llo is a gooi W batter and fast on the bases." "Ik1 is certainly a good one,' so said a classmate yesterday who pitch ed for Newberry college when "Cab' v was doing the receiving, "and ther. is little doubt that he will make good He caught for Newberry five seasons taking a postgraduate course las year and was at all times the main slay of the team. He lias never hi under MOO per cent, any season an< one year hit around the 400 mark. A: a receiver he is a topnotcher. lie's i little bit of a fellow, but lie gets then , all the same.

" Wo Are King" with Mr. Will inn Clifford in the title role opened to { big house at the Camden Theatre last night. At the conclusion of th< play it was generally conceded thai it is the best play seen in this city al popular prices. And more than thai it was unhesitatingly stated that the acting of Mr. Clifford and Mis* Maude Shaw in the principal roles is superior to that ofanvthing seen lien since the engagement of Miss Julir . Marlowe. "We Are King" is a bright come dy and was used by Mr. Walkei Whiteside for three seasons as n starring vehicle. The action of the play is in Kahnburg, and deals will the complications in trying to dethrone King Hector, a despot, win has run the kingdom into debt an:1 ground down his subjects. (iustavus Veil nor, correspondent for Uit "London Kcoord, a. light-hearted fellow, wanders into Kahnburg in search of news. Tie is arrested as a spy. The prim* minister of Kahniburg and his followers who are plotting to rid the kingdom of Hector, arc so impressed with Vomer's marvelous resemblance to the King, they induce Vernier to impersonate the King who is away on a secret mission. Venner, under tlr2 impression that lie is rendering the King and the court a favor, and seeing "good copy" in sight, consents, Hector returns unexepectedly and is dragged away to an insane asylum, whilo Venner, costumed as the King ! and accepted by I lie court , proceeds , to run I lie kingdom. lie lowers tlio y taxes mi the people, throws the pal- 1 ace gardens open to the public and gets himself into all sorts of ludicrous coniplicntions through his ignorance of court affairs. y In the meantime Princess Olivia, of Beronia, traveling as Fraulei.i i\ Terese, conies to the kingdom to see s if the stories of cruel and barbarous | J treatment to subjects told aibout the - real king, to whom she is betrothed, , " are true and falls in love with the J - supposed King. Through the work of t a necromancer the newspaper eorrosr pondent is found to be the real King J h:id all ends well. 'j It will thus be seen that "We Are King" would fall very flat without actors. In the dual role of the corc respondent and King Mr. Clifford - displays great versatility and there L' is not the slightest doubt but that - he will become one of this country's e favorite actors. J In (lie dual role1* of a lodge keeper and a necromancer John IJewit soor. - became a warm favorite with the au* die:iee. Others in the cast deserving j ' of mention are Ruth Godnby, Mar- j I gaivt M'rriinan. Philip White, William A Carroll, Hugh Wynne, j "We Are King" will appear at the. ?

What Petruchio, Solomon and Rip > Van Winkle Have Borne. t Kven though young women are so t unfortunate as to possess a .shrewish 1 'temper, tliey take care not to display s it too publicly, knowing full well it 1 would frighten away any admirers 1 >who may lie attracted by their boaul" >ty and accomplishments, for it is a 3 rare thing to find a man with the 2 courage of Petruchio to attempt the cure of this evil habit. Nor is it ? likely that a bride will fall into the 1 'habit of ;lagging directly after her - -marriage, since brides usually make ) 'themselves as agreeable as possible, \ at least until the sentiment and ro mance (if I lie honeymoon have given | ! place lo the cares of life and the j reality of a commonplace existence, i > 'In fact, it is somewhat difficult to t say just how the habit of scolding 2 -does begin. At first it is seldom i.i ? earnest, or if it be it is soon repented i' of and forgiven as being only one of - those "little tiffs" which, like a sum- j r nier shower, occasionally cloud for a ' 1 'moment the sunshine of married bliss. ' t These small fallings out are so prof verbial a part of the first year of j marriage before the newly wed coup- | / ?le have become intimately acquainted ; * with each other's character and dis- I i "position, that the famous "Flitch j ' -of Dumnow" was instituted as a re- I i 'ward to be given to the fortunate! * couple who could swear?kneeling on j J -the steps of Dumnow church?that i ? 1 > during the first year they had never - had a disagreement. Although this i j-prize was instituted i.i the twelfth ; 5 -century, it is asserted that frequently years pass without any claimants apf pea ring, and when in last December at the annual distribution three couples appeared lo claim their flitch it was looked upon as so unusual and surpassing that the people of the parr -ish expressed the opinion that the millennium must be aibout to begin. Married people often confess that the first year was the least happy, of their united life. >So many peculiari1 'lies that are not much in evidence 1 during courtship gradually show tliem! -selves, and only by mutual forbearJ -anee and gentleness can these things ' 'be overcome. Once these have been ^ adjusted the chances are that the ^ '.voung people settle down to a peaeei -fill existence in which if sorrows or , -trials come, I hey are borne bravely ; -and serve but to draw them more - closely together. But, unfortunately, 1 there are some women who never learn forbearance and every fresh * 'discovery that their husband is less perfect than they fancied him to be 1 'is regarded by them as a crime and made the occasion of long and bitter 1 'accusations. One scene like this is ' sure to lead to another, and soon not 1 >a day passes that the unhappy wife ' does not berate her husband about something or other. That the most ' ardent affection soon dies under such storms of temper is little wonder and 1 'that men can put up with it. and not -find effectual means lo silence the un! rul.v tongue is a marvel to everybody not. simi'larily afflicted. ! v'Hrom the Peeling way in which King Solomon alludes several limes 'to "contentious" or nagging women, 1 'comparing them to a "continual 1 dropping on a very rainy day," it is 1 plainly to be seen that in sonvo of his 1 numerous matrimonial ventures he : had had the misfortune to encounter that worst of earthly evils, a nagII ging wife?or perhaps severail of thoinv?poor man! That the subject i was often in his thoughts is evident, j for when Ik? is not openly complain-j as he above quotation, h > 1 *?ays: *4 Hotter is a dry morsel with quietness than a house full of sacri- ! flees with strife," and again, <4it, is 'hotter to dwell in a wilderness than with a contentious and angry woman." Many a man has utteivd a sigh of understanding' and sympathy as lie read or listene;! to those words; and not a few have echoed Iiip Van Winkle's sentiment regarding the silent apparitions otf the Catskill 1 mountains that if they had a sister ! what a fine wife she would make. No doubt this very feeling was at the 'bottom of the sympathy every one felt for the vagabond Kip when, ae cordiiijr i? a|| justice, it should have been with his ill-used wife, Katrina. The naming- habit is bad enough when it e.\)?ends itself upon grown people who should be able to defend themselves; lint it is infinitely worse when children become the victims of a woman's nervousness ?.|* i)) lumper. How pitiful the life of a child who lives i,i an aim^jyihere of eon- . s!;uit tuult-finding and repression, to whom the'word "don't" is said scores of times each day. In a roomful of children i! is not difficult to pick out those who have this kind of home life; an 1 hard imbed must be the heart of a woman who is :ini moved by their expression to restrain her inclination to scold. I'pon the ' streets and in public conveyances one sometimes marks the sullen or else the rebellious expression on a child's face when the mother speaks to it; and i; is easy to see that fear and not love is the routnWling' influence in Hhe homo from which Jlhcv come. 'Even id' a child be blessed with so fine ? disposition that is not entirely mined by this kind of brin-in- up it will cary with it through life anything'but happy memories of childhood, and the 'words "homo" and "mother" will h.we \cry different associations in his mind to what they should have.? ?'News and Courier. HISTORY OF THE CHJCKEN. j Originally Wild Fowl, But Domesti- | cated For Many Centuries. , Oscar Erf writes in Bulletin MO of: the Kansas agricultural experiment station: To one who is familiar with the different typos of chickens to be I found in a poultry show room if seems alums! incredible that these j varieties should have descended from I one ,parent source. It is. however, thought by scientists that all domestic chickens have been brerl from a single species of a jungle fowl of India. This wild chicken is smaller than the common varieties and is colored j in a manner similar to the black-' breasted game breed. The habits of j this bird are like those of the quail I and prairie chiciken, bolh of which belong to thi' same zoological family. Prom its natural home in India ! the chicken spread bath east and 1 west. ( hincse poultry culture is ancient. In China, as well as India, j the chief care seems to have been to | breed very large fowls, and from these countries all the large, heavily feathered breeds have been imported. Poultry is also known to have been bred in the early Babylonian and Eg.\ plian periods. Here, however, the progress was in a different line from that of China. Artificial incubation was early developed and the selection 1 was for birds that produced eggs continually, rather than for those that laid fewer eggs and brooded in the natural manner. The Egyptian type of chicken spread to the countries bordering on the Mediterranean, and from southern Europe our nonsetting- breed of fowls have been imported. Throughout the countries of northern Europe minor differences were developed, the Erench chickens were selected for tho quality of the meat, while in l'olan.l the peculiar topknot ted breed is supposed to have been formed. The chief point to he noted in all European poultry is Hi a I it differs from Asiatic poultry in being- smaller, lighter j feathered, quicker maturing, of great- ! or egg-producing capacity, 1. ss disposed |o become broody and i,...re ac- ' live than the Asiatic fowl. The early American hens were of European origin, but of MO fixed breeds. Aiboul 1810 Italian chickens began to be imported. These, with fixed types of form and color,' constitute our Medittcaanean or non- : setting breeds of the present day. < Soon after the importation of Italian i chickens a. chance import ion was i made from southeastern Asia. These < Asiatic, chickens were quite different ; JVom anything-'yet seen, and further I importations followed. ( I ou 1 try breeding soon became tire fashion, and (lie first poultry show was held in Boston in the early fif- | lies. I lie Asiatic fowls imported were < ?ray or yellowish red in color, and | wore variously known as the Brahmapootra*. Cochin-Chinas and shanghais. With the rapid development o|' poultry breeding Ihc*i-t? came a desiro to produce now varieties. Kverv conceivable l'onn of cross-breeding was resorted to. The great majority of breeds and varieties as they exist today are the restull of crosses followed by a few years of selection for the desired form and color. Many of our common breeds still give us occasional individuals that resemble some of (lie types from which the breed was formed. The exact history ol the formation of the American or mixed breeds is in dispute, but it is certain that they have been formed from a complex mixing of blood from both Kuropean and Asiatic sources. Thus we see that the fundamental traits of our modern breeds are the results of centuries of development along certain fixed lines. WHEN PEOPLE FLY. Charlotte Perkins Gil man Takes a Glimpse Into the Future. l'ak;:i:r a very modest view of lh;> promised development, admitting that the carrying of heavy wight seems unnecessary and undcrsirahle for airships. we can look forward with some satfe provision to such small conveyances as will carry a few people and a lew packages swift and far, says Charlotte Perkins in Harper's Weekly. Small imlividaul machines, airbicycles. as it were, offered a tempting and practical field for invention; and here you have an element of porlentions importance.

In sober sadness there is before ns here, lirst, a great danger, and then a greater good. The increased possibility of evil is so patent that in tin- end there is but one way t< meet it. There will, no doubt, be at lirist strong repressive measures. We shall try our best to police the air; we shall stretch and revamp our laws to reach these new offenders; but the tield is far too wide to cover so. We cannot all sulk behind bars and cur- I tains for fear of shameless vandals wish wings. The real result, the big result, will I be a lilting of the standards of hn- | inanity. Winged, w,? must be well- j behaved. We can no longer risk the I presence of a large body of persons, illiterate, unmannerly, poor to the ; verge of robbery and of evil passions. I The '' fire-buif," who even now succeeds in arson, could then endanger a city with small risk to himself. Society, so aroused to a sense of the danger ?wf its " uudcrsirahle citizens," must once and for all rid itself of them by the simple process of not making any. Xo longer can the illborn child be left to evil parents no longer can we afford to have I he child ill-born! New care must be taken ni the rearing of our people; none can be allowed to grow up evil, because with wings they would be too dangerous. The Fourth Estate.
