DR. JACOBS BETTEaR. Read of Thornwell Orphanage Con tinues to Improve. Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton. Au ust 29.-Dr. Jacobs .requests that his thanks be conveyed through the News and Courier to the hundreds who have inquired about- his conldi tion and written letters or telegrams expressive of their interest and eon eern since his reeent aecident. He has been deeply touched by the dii olay of affect.ion not only by his rie,nds bu.t by numbers of entire strangers. His conditon and the ur oeney of other matters on his office elpers have preevnted that personal eply to each whieh he would have been glad to give. Although he is entirely helpless and -reni.reUs constant attention, his con dition is no longer regarded as se ,.ious. For some days there were strong indicatiOnS of internal inju -ies and of nervous d'erangement from the shock, but these bad symptoms -have happily disappeared and -there is every reason to expect his complete recovery in time. He will be able to leave his bed in a tdaort time. The bandages will be renoved in October and he hopes to ,esume his preaching within a couple of months. That will depend on the ease with which, the bo.nes knit in the shoulder, and the rapiditv with which the system re eovers from the shock. With characteristic energy he has already begun to direct the more ur gent business of the institution from his bed, and has deputed a number of matters to .responsible people. Mr. J. A. Bailey. treasurer of the orphan age, is -taking charge of all business. The heads of the various departments of labor and instruction are doing rueir best to keep the machinery run ning smoothly. There could not well have been a woXrse time for the head of the or phanage to be stricken down. Every thing starts afresh here on the 1st of September-new officers, matrons, teacers and children are to be re ceived and initiated. All important .changes are made in methods of work, assignments of labor a-nd so forth. However everything is running very smothly and there is no reason for the friends of the orphanage to be alarmed. In fact, this is their oppor tuity to stand by it as never before. REACHES BERLIN 'MID QHEES. Berlin, Aug. 29.-The airship Zep pelin III with Count Zeppelin at the hielm arrived safely at Berlin shortly after noon to-day. The voyage from Freiderihshafen, where the start was made at 4:30 o'clock Friday morning, was marked by an accident to the air ship which caused a delay at Bitter field.

Its owner sued Lim in the county court for its value, and the evidence showed that the sol dier had not been badly bitten after all. ''Why did you not knock the dog with the butt end of your rifle?" asked the judge. The court rocked with laughter w1hen the sentry re plied: "Why didn't he bite me with his tail ?'
