In the death of Judge W. H. Wallace South Carolina loses one of her ablesl and purest public men. Would that we had more who were like him. His demise is nothing short of a verv great loss ? . e to the State. City council will hold its regulai monthly meeting next Tuesday, at whicli time a proposition for lighting the streets by. electricity will probably be made b\ the oil mill. We hope council will decide to enter into a contract, for we need the lights and can afford them. Oui people generally favor the scheme and council should heed their wishes. The State house commission seems tc ^ > be in somewhat of a stir at present. Col J. Q. Marshall, one of the members, is insisting that the construction work is not being properly done, and brings in architects and contractors to support his side of the case. The other members of the - commission seem not to be of his opinion and while they have voted solidly againsl his propositiohlo suspend the work, the incident does not seem to be closed. We trust that the work will be finished as il should be. That State house is costing South Carolina too much money to have shoddy work done on it. Comments on Evangeline. [Written for The Herald.] Nova Scotia, once called Acadie, was owned by the French and British alter natelv, until 1713 when finally it was ceded to the latter. The Arcadians were allied to the French by blood and relig ion. 'Being in sympathy with one coun try and owned "by another, gave rise tc great jealousy and discontent and Eng It. land decided to demand of the Arcadians an oath of allegiance. The demand was stoutly refused. Plans were immediately made "to remove the rebels to different portions of North America by strategy In the confusion and haste "of getting them" on the srfps, many families wen separated. History gives an account ol one particularly sad "case where a newly marriwl mnnli? mrtnlt- tnm ncunilop Upon this incident Longfellow built his beautiful poem "Evangeline." There is a helpful lesson to be culled from Evangeline's life, and though slit is an imaginary character, a creation oi our poet's own noble mind, we can put her before us as a model. We can cultivate traits and have an abiding sweetness of spirit, a meek loveliness of temper as . - a central star in a constellation of virtues Her power to accept disappointment and sorrow with submission and not waste the time in idle pining or sink the "pearls of opportunity in vain regret" is a point we should note. During the long search for her husband, she planted seeds in every path and 'neath her warm and genial influence thev sprang into flowers, brightening ami cheering her fellowmen. Next, observe her loveliness and meekness of spirit. Can there be a more sublime .virtue? The effulgence of which is as the "fresh ripple from deep fountains of inborn love," the gentle dew descending from the clear heaven of a pure and lofty mind. "Well may her presence be said to have been a benediction on all she came in contact with and her leaving as the "ceasing of sweet music." Oh, Evangeline, "Heavem's peace upon thee as thoti hast over souls a calm of sunshine cast." Thirdly her charity. The kind of charity that "suffereth long and is kind." . That charity that teaches patience and abnegation "of self, devotion to others with "no wish in life but to meekly follow with reverent steps the sacred feet ol ^ the Savior." Charity that causes fre*** quent visits to the lonely, wretched roofs where distress, want, disease and sorrow are concealed from the sunlight The self abnegation that dictates the moistening of fevered lips and aching brow, the closing of sightless eyes, the holding of the-hand of the dying as they sink down through infinite depths of slumber and ueath. This is the charity Evangeline had. The kind that all christians should have to be worthy of the epithet. Tho?stdry ends in a pathetic scene. The long lost husband is found after years of prayer, hope and despair. And ,?' though he is marked by death and rests S in an unconscious sleep, she recognizes him. Her joy at seeing him agaiin mingled with agony of haying to give him up to the grave, is clothed in such beautiful, simple language, one feels after reading it they have stood by the humble cot and felt some of the pangs of sorrow suffered by the heroine. Those who have never read the poem, let me ask that they study it and extract the noble up-lifting thoughts therefrom. M. O. Lamer. A Sonthern (Jirl's Success. The great success of the charming young violinist. Hiss Gertrude Monroe, is another example of what pluck, combined with talent and application, will do for the American girl. Miss Monroe was born in Louisville, Ky., and after studying with the best violinists in the East, finished her education in Berlin under the great German master, Joachim. Since returning to the "States'' she has appeared with the finest musical organizations in America, and is now making an extended tour (embracing the South) with the Alba Hey wood Company. There is much more in Miss Mouroe's playing than the mastering of the technical difficulties of her art. Her playing is full of poetry and soulfulness, strong passion and tender sweetness, and the seeming reverence with which she plays her tine old violin impresses one with her love of art and the earnestness of lier work. Miss Monroe is a typical Southern girl, tall and graceful, modest and unassuming, a beautiful face crowned with a wealth of golden hair. She is a living, breathing proof that the Goddess of Beauty still reigns supreme in Old Kentucky. A Kansas "boy serving in the Philippines writes home to his mother: "I can't say that 1 like the Philippines as well as I do Kansas, but the islands are much better then I expected. Don't worry about me, for I am in good health and ail right. If I get killed in the open in fair tight in the cause of my country I shall ?_not care; but if 1 am murdered by one of the sneaking bolomen who lurk in the grass like snakes 1 will regret it all my fife."

Isaac Donom Wither .?>? Wlirn SpOOU UIMII in iMinuiu, w.. A.v--.ary 24,1833, and was, therefore. 08 years of age on the 24th of last month, lie volunteered as a member of Company A, 12th regiment, in August, 1801, and was an officer in the company. He resigned his commission the following spring to accept a government position in Columbia, which he tilled until the close of the war. His public career began in 1870, when he did his full share in redeeming the State from Republican misrule and at which time he was elected State Senator from York county. He was reelected in 1880, and in December, 1881, was elected Judge of the 0th circuit, to succeed Judge T. J. Mac-key. His teim of office began February 15, 1882. He served for four consecutive terms, or until February 1897, when he declined reelection and was succeeded by Judge G. W. Gage, of Chester. His record as a , Judge is known to the people of the 1 State, and while he was not consideicd brilliant according to the common acceptation of the term, he always enjoyed the full confidence of the bench, bar and rmhlir hv reason of the fact that all knew [ ? that he was a safe, lion est and conseienI tious interpreter of the law. At home Judge Witherspoon enjoyed the confidence of all the people to a de( gree that is experienced by few men. He was recognized by all to be a model citizen, a model Christian and a model gentleman. He was the friend of all and, therefore, the enemy of none. After retiring from the bench lie resumed the ^ practice of his profession in Yorkvillc and notwithstanding the fact that he had ' not been in a position to serve the pub[ lie in this capacity for sixteen years, [ many of his old clients and numerous ' new ones availed themselves of the benefit of his experience, wisdom and coun\ sel. The disease which terminated this useful life was pleurisy, which followed a severe attack of the grip. He leaves a wife and two children, a son and daughter, both grown. He was a ruling eldei ? in the Yorkville Presbyterian church ," from which the funeral will be conduct? ed to-morrow afternoon. Tillman to Speak. . ' Washington,March20?

"What are you going to tell the Buffalo ; people about your dispensary law?" .1 representative of The Tribune asked Mr | Tillman. r "I am going to tell them the truth," he i replied, "and tliat is that the dispensary - system is working first rate for temper [ ance in South Carolina." "Are you going to tell them that the ; dispensary law is e>bserved in Charlesi ton?" ; The Senator winked his right eye wise ly as he replied: "Charleston, you know has always been a lie>tbed of secession 1 The people there secede from anything ! and everything when thev feel like it r * o ' I understand the Charlestonians drink good deal of Scotch whiskey in thcii clubs, and also that you can buy Seotcl; 1 whiskey in saloons in that city.

Player, dis ( penser at Kingstree, has been found guilty of breach of trust with fraudulent intent , Judge Watts sentenced him to three years ! and a half in the penitentiary. This is I the first conviction of the kind since the 1 dispensary started. Player is a white ! man of considerable political influence ; Last Christmas he claimed that robbers ; rode up to his dispensary and robbed the safe of over $2,000 which by law should have been turned over to the county , treasurer. His bond had expired the day before and other suspicious circumstances led to an investigation which ended in conviction. Judge Watts refused a new trial. Could Also Sign A Few. The pompous man walked haughtily up to the hotel register, seized a pen looked way off over the clerk's head and inscribed, with a great flourish, the following: "Professor Hewitt Howler, Ph. P. LLD., M. D." Then he threw the pen down and star ed superciliously at a man with a clay pipe, who immediately picked the pen up and wrote: "Professor Pat McCann, II.O.P., C.A. R., R.I., E.R." After which they glared at each other, and the bell boy took the professor's grip and died.?Indianapolis Sun. Father's Put-down Pants. [Copied from "NVi.i.J. Bryan's new paper, "The Commoner." for The Hekai.d.J "When the load of life is heavy and I bend beneath it's weight, "When I think my luck has left me and I mourn and rail at fate. When I long for days of boyhood for the days when life was gay. As I picture it in fancy, now my hair is tinged with gray? It is then a mem'ry rises till I fully realize That e'en in the days of boyhood clouds oft' hid the azure skies; For what woe e'er comes to manhood that is half as hard to bear As those cut down pants of father's that my mother made me wear. I cau see them yet. in fancy, always short with ample slack That would puzzle as to whether I was gone or coming back. Built on plans of architecture that were certainly unique. With the nap well brush and dusted till the cloth was thin and sleek. When the cares of manhood beset me 1 recall those davs of yore. Full of second band apparel and a heart with anguish sore, For no matter what my sorrows, none as great can ever be As those cut down pants of father's, that my mother made for me. Stocks and bonds may lose their value, markets wobble till they burst. But a moment's thought convinces that long since I passed the worst Of life's trials and afflictions, so I smile and try again. Knowing that the "now" is better than the mournful days of "then" For the man that strives the hardest never gets the ridicule That was heaped upon me when I wore those awful pants to school. So I grin and l>ear the burdens and am thankful as can be That no cut down pants of father's will again be put on me. Senator McLanrin on Trial. What is the extent of Senator McL mi ni's political short-comings? Is he a shiner above all others? Has he violated any oath or promise made to party or State? Alex. Stevens was a considerable man in (Jeorgia for years. lie was also prominent in the Federal and Confederate governments. lie did not truckle to the politic ians of his day and time, but when lie felt that a certain line of action was riirlit lie pursued it regardless of the opinion of others. There is a tradition that about 70 to To years ago John C. Calhoun was considered very disloyal to the people of this State, and there was a talk of indignation meetings, or perhaps some were held, and may be a hint that a littleelligy-burningwould be the proper thing. Stevens and Calhoun both proved themselves superior to their tradueers and were of infinite more U-C l<? mrir oiiurs man 11 im-> u.ni u-nsultcd tlif opinions of everybody and always been looking forward to the next election. Senator MeLaurin voted for the treaty signed at Paris. Even Mr. Bryan endorsed that treaty. Many intelligent citizens of this State believe that Mr. MeLaurin voted on the right side of that question. He also voted for the increase of the army and navy bill, because lie believed that was the right thing to do. There arc many others who would have voted the same way if they had been permitted. Then Senator MeLaurin voted for the ship subsidy bill following the | example of good Democrats who voted a ' subsidy to sugar planters' of Louisiana. That amounted to millions of dollars. The Democrats of the last Congress were ; anxious to vote millions of dollars for the creeks and harbors, more than half of which would have been spent in vain. , Then, because Senator MeLaurin, after 1 studying the question, believed that the business interests of the country would be greatly benefitted by the passage of the bill, lie is roundly abused because he voted according to his honest convici tions. It is better to have an honest, in. dependent representative who may be mistaken now and then on certain ques* tions, than one who is afraid to have an , opinion of his own.?Carolina Spartan. Summer School for teachers. Auditor R. W. D. Rowcll has received the following from State Superintendent John J. McMahan, in reference to the ' summer school for the teachers of this * county. i Dkau Siu:?A very small number of > teachers attended the summer school in . your county last year. With the reduced funds at my disposal this year I shall not ' be warranted in holding a separate school for a county where there will not be a , considerable attendance of actual teachers. Before determining to omit your 1 county, I shall ask you to do all you can to secure pledges of attendance, taking into consideration the following, which ? must largely influence the attendance: 1. Number of teachers actually residiu your county during the summer vaca tioii. You will know who of those now teaching in your county will go home to > other counties when their schools close. But there may be some teaching elsewhere who will come to your county during the summer. They or their families should . see your inquiry in the paper. 2." Number of resident teachers who ' have actual assurance of being employed for the coming school term. : In this connection it is painful to note from last year's report that most of the l teachers attending your summer school were at the time still without positions? without the assurance of being further i employed to teach. With this discourag? ing outlook it is not strange that so few I went to the labor and expense of four weeks schooling further to tit themselves for their profession. Under such circumstances, teaching is hardly to be called a profession. You should exert yourself at once to remedy this by urging upon your trustees the importance of contracting with their teachers early in July. Even now if the county board and the ? board of trustees agree, Ja teacher can be . given assurance of re-employment upon such conditions as may be desired. :>. Financial aw 10 me teucuers mat - attend the summer school. Trustees . should be urged to add to the lirst . month's salary of the teacher in consideration of attendance upon the school. ! This "premium" might be fixed at ?5.00 1 or ?10.00. or the entire expense of attend ing the summer school. Whether the . amount be large or small, any evidence of appreciation on the part of the trus: tees would tend to encourage and stimui late the teacher. The summer schools arc of more importance this year than ever before, because of the newly adopted text books which the teachers will be called upon It) teach when the schools open again. In struction will be given with special refer. once to certain of these ltooks which in their up-to-date method may present some difficulties to some teachers. I have succeeded in obtaining from the publishers a special concession by which the teachers who attend the summer schools can provide themselves with desk copies of these books for less than half the wholesale price to dealers. It is a deplorable fact that a large number of teachers do not own and have never studied the books which they go through the form of teaching. They "hear" lessons which they have not prepared or given any thought to. Yet the best teachers feel that they must give hours of daily study to the preparation of even the most elementary 1 lessons which they are to tcaeh well. We should try this year to get the teachers io own their school books and to study them thoroughly. Then will the i teaching in the country schools la- greatly improved. TO WIITTE TKACHKKS. 1st.

A Vairrant at the Age of 105. i (I' roin tin- Philadelphia Record, March 20) An aired ami decrepit colored woman, who gave her name as Annie Strawberry, and claimed that she was 105 years old, I was arrested last evening at 11th and ' Bainbridgc streets, by Policeman Prevley, I of the 2d district, who charges her with I vagrancy. The old woman stated that ! she was born in Charleston, S.

She stated that she lived with her son, ! on South 2d street, until his death, a ! couple of months ago. Since that time the old woman claims that she has had to beg for a living, aud on several occasions I slept in alleys and hallways. j r Hnllot Next His Heart.

Nelson's ease is remarkable in the annals of surgery. The shooting was as mysterious as the result is wonderful. One evening in the summer of 1S?)<; Nelson and Miss Marguerite Staples were j sitting on the banks of a lagoon in Wash-1 ington Park. Suddenly a negro thrust j j his head from a clump of bushes and tired a revolver at Mr. Nelson. Nelson fell to) I the ground and the police came in answer ! to Miss Staples' screams. The negro, | who was presumably insane, was never I captured. The surgeons at the Chicago hospital found the bullet in the pericardium where it had become imbedded in the muscles. They told Nelson he had one I chance in a thousand to live and that an operation would mean a quicker death. Nelson took the chance. lie said he would live and carry the bullet with him.

(\) The editor of the Vindicator has had occasion to test the etlieacy of Chamberlain's Pain Balm twice with the most remarkable results in each case. First, with rheumatism in the shoulder from which lie sutiered excruciating pain for ten days, which was relieved with two applications of Pain Balm, rubbing the parts afflicted and realizing instant benetit and entire relief in a very short time.

Tried to Bunco Hie Clergyman. "One morning a man came to me witli a letter written on Stamped paper and signed with the name of a clergyman of my church in a town in Massachusetts," writes Rev. David M. Steel of "The Lovers of a Cheerful Giver," in the April I Ladies' Home Journal. "His story, told I in great embarrassment, was that lie had i run away from home. According to the j letter his aged mother was dying with I grief, and the appeal of his rector was to the man to come back at once. The minister's check for eight dollars, drawn mi m bank in this same town, was in closed with which to pay car fare. He was distressed and was anxious to go, I hut the difficulty was he had been in New York only five days, knew 110 one, j and could not be-identified at any bank. Would I cash the check? I told him toj come back in a couple of hours and meantime I telegraphed inquiries to the j Reverend C . The answer came, 'Do I not know any such man.' When Die fel-1 low returned lie was arrested, and in his pocket a neatly kept memorandum book was found containing the name of nearly every clergyman in Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburg and Philadelphia. This had been his route. On each page of the book there were four columns, headed 'Name, Date, Amount and Remarks,' and in these were such entries as, 'Reverend R , $4.00. Got after an hour's work.' 'Reverend S , no good. Can't work.' 'Reverend T , $0.00. An easy mark.' The dates ran back through three years. When lie had completed his tour he would probably either have sold his book to some one else to use, or he would have changed his appearance, invented a new story, and approached a second time the people who were worth it."

Surrendered as a Traitor to Save a Friend. Wasiiinoton, I). C\ March 1s.?Love "or a Filipino girl led Private Frederick M. Iiaker, Cnited States marine corps, to lesert to the enemy and to aid the insurgents in their operations against the American troops. Friendship for another American condemned by a Filipino courtmartial to he executed caused him to surrender himself in a vain endeavor to effect his rescue. Ilis punishment and , reward are life imprisonment in the California State prison at San Quentin, Cal. The records of the marine corps show that Private Baker made a good record from the time of his enlistment in 1894 at Mare Island, California. He was assigned to duty as a number of the marine guard of the ill-fated Charleston. When ' that vessel was at Cebu, Baker, who was given liberty ashore, made the acquaintance of a Filipino girl, and while the official papers do not give any particulars concerning this part of the story it is apparent that her inlluence resulted in his desertion, which oceured June 12, 1899, but before desertion he gave information concerning the movement of American troops which was of great value to the ( insurgents. Upon his entrance into the Filipino army he was commissioned a lieutenant and was assigned to duty as drill master. He found that another American, a private in the army, was also a commissioned oflieer in the same insurgent force, and it was a strong friendship formed between the two that triumphed over love and fear of death. The two Americans succeeded in evading duty which required them to operate against the American detachments until last summer, when the friend of Private Baker was directed to command an expedition which was under orders to ambush an American fofce. Though in the power of the Filipinos, the man refused, and persisted in his refusal to shed the blood of his countrymen. He was tried by court-martial and condemned to death. Baker used all his influence to save his friend, but was unsuccessful. To his horror and indignation he found, when the orders were issued, that he had been selected to give the order to the platoon which was to carry the sentence into execution. Baker was confronted by two terrible alternatives?death for his friend unless an effort were made to save him, or death for himself if he surrendered to the Americans to plead that an expedition be sent to effect the former's rescue. Scorning subterfuge, he proceeded to the American camp attired in his uniform of a lieutenant of Filipino infantry and gave himself up to the commanding officer. He related his story and a detachment of troops was immediately sent to the point where Baker stated tho camp of insurgents had been established. Apparently alarmed at Baker's flight, the Filipinos had fled, and it has not been discovered whether Baker's companion was executed or is still alive. The private of marines was immediately turned over to the commanding officer o'f the gunboat Castine. He was tried by court-martial and found guilty of bearing arms against the United States. There is no doubt that the court took into consideration Baker's action in surrendering himself to save a fellow-American, for instead of receiving the death sentence the court recommended that he "be imprisoned for life at hard labor in such prison or penitentiary as the secretary of the navy may designate; to lose all pay and allowance now due or may become due except the sum of $3 a month for necessary prison expenses." By order of Secretary Long issued to to-day Private Baker's tragedy will end when the prison at San Quentin receives him in the course of the next few weeks. ?Chicago Record, Happenings in the Conntry.
