BEYOND.
Beyond the prison cell
ftelease!
t Beyond the stormy passage
Peace!
Beyond the starless night
The great sun's rising?
Bevond these wilds a home
Of death's devising.
After tumultuous years
To creep
Within a lonely room
And sleep!
After the exigence
Of human hunger,
Bread, and lodging, and wine
To need no longer!
How I have longed for this!?
And yet
How can I go content?
Forget
All that was dear in life I
Entwined about you? i
How can I pass beyond
jn peace wiinout you:

Don Rafael Alsina lives in fine
style in an ancient palace in the _ -pular
Trianr. quarter in Seville. Witn 1
the old palace he inherited a large i
fortune. This he has more than gou- j
bled by a devotion to business which <
is "-ceedingly rare in Spain, where
the general rule of life is, "Never ]
do to-day what you can put off doing 1
untijL to-morrow." His pet hobby, ]
aside from making money, has been
giving it away. He is honored far ]
and wide in Seville for his charitv. i
One morning early in May last, 1
two pretty girls, Paquita Vasquez and
Rosina Ortiz, called upon him. "We s
are laundry girls," said Paquita, i
"and knowing you to be rich and j
charitable, we have como to ask you 3
to do something for one of our fel- t
low workers?a poor widow with six 3
children, who lives in a wretched gar- t
ret." I
"I shall send her 200 pesetas ($40) c
to-day," said Don Alsina, "but why 1
' did not the poor widow come herself a
to get h^lp from me? It is well I
known that I am always accessible to
any deserving poor person who is in 1
? need of assistance." i
"Our poor friend," answered Pa- g
quita, "is old and?and.she has lost 1
all her good looks, senor." i
"But I never withhold my aims *
from people because the infimities of i j
age have robbed them of their good ! -v
looks," said Don Alsiaa. "There j a
must be some other reason why she t
did not call herself." a
The girls giggled and exchanged t
glances. "The truth is," said Rosita, J
"our poof friend thought she would
get more from you if we told you her ^
story, because we, so our friends say,
are?are rather pretty, senor."
Don Alsina laughed and the girls' I
VlnpVind "Tho rriMnro cVinxr'c " ho i
U1 UOU^U. Jiuw 1I1UVI1 MV
said, "that if age has deprived her of
beauty, it has increased her wisdom. c
, t I shall send her 300 pesetas. Now j
* what can I do for her charming ^
representatives in whose selection
L sho has shown such excellent judg- *
ment?" c
t "We leave that to your own gen'
arosity, senor," said Paquita; "we t
laundress gins are all very poor and c
we work very hard." c
"And are there among these laundresses
who work so hr.rd for such c
small pay more girls who are as pretx.
ty as you two are?" r
"Yes, senor," answered Rosita; 0
"there are some who are much pret- '
Tier?at least, so their sweethearts
<?t think."
"I fear I hhould hardly agree with
their sweethearts," said Don Alsina, _
gallantly, "but I will tell you what I
will do. Yesterday I bought a ticket t
g In the national lottery, the drawing t
for which takes place next week.
The number of my ticket is 1S07. I t
air. reputed to be a very lucky man. ,
Send me the names of the five pret- t
, tiest laundresses in our quarter, and
If my ticket wins the grand prize,
125,000 pesetas ($5000), I promise c
to divide it among them. Whatever
prize I win ? if I win any ? the j
money shall be given to them." 1
_ The u"e girls elected were Manu- t
ela Pinedo, Rosita Ortiz, Paquita Vaz<juez,
'"ncarnacian Garcia and Lola ]
Fernandez, and every night until the ,
drawing took place these five girls
prayed devoutly that the ticket bearing
the number 1807 might w^n the
grand prize.
Ticket No. 1807 won the grand ^
prize, and Don Alsina at once sent {
for the happy laundresses and re- <
ceived the in his finest apartments, <
where he made a pretty speech, deCTJfr
daring that no event in his life had '<
ever afforded him so much pleasure :
and that he was fully prepared to i
abide by his promise aDd divide the i
250,000 pesetas among the five pret- ]
>' . . ty girls. ' 1
"Oh, you angel!" exclaimel the -<
buxom Lola, and, greatly daring, <
threw her arms around him and 1
kissed him. Don Alsina said some- :
thing that is the Spanish equivalent ;
of "next," and each of the other four ]
pretty girls in turn followed suit.
"Such a delightful experience ]
makes me wonder how it has hap- ;
pened that I have so long remained ]
a bachelor," said Don Alsina when
*th'e last of them had finished. But, 1
^ alas! as I am not a Mohammedan, ]
and furthermore as the laws of :
Spain forbid polygamy, 1 cannot :
mam- all fivp nf vnn T ran nnlv
marry one of you. To make choice
of that one myself is a task far beyond
me. With your consent ! propose
to have recourse to a lottery
again to settle the matter. Does
each one of you agree that she will
accept me as a husband for better or
.worse, if she draws me?"
*
I
"Yes, senor," anzvered the five
girls in chorus.
Don Alsina inscribed his name on
a slip of paper and folded it up. He
took four similar slips that were
blank and folded them up. Then he
deposited all five papers in a hat.
"Now," he said, "the one of the
five best and most beautiful girls in
Seville who draws from this hat the
slip of paper on which my name is
written wins me for a husband."
Encarnacian stepped forward first,
thrust her hand into the hat held by
Don Alsina, drew forth a slip of
paper and unrolled it. It was blank.
She did her best to look as if she did
not care mucii, uui it was a poor [
make-believe.
" 'L' comes next," said Don Alsina,
unmoved. "It's your turn, Lola."
Lola drew another blank and could
hardly repress her tears.
" 'M' follows 'L,' " said Don Alsina.
"Now, Manuela, try your
luck."
Luck declared for Manuela. She
drew the slip cf paper on which Don j
Alsina had written his name. All I
present congratulated Manuela and
felicitated the bridegroom-elect, who
had so expeditiously and adroitly
solved such an embarrassing matrimonial
problem. Eut, somehow,
Manuela did not seem so ecstatically
happy at the prospect of abandoning
the life of a laundry girl for the luxury
of a palace warranted. Don Alsina
did not appear to notice it, however.
"I ask you all to be my guests at
lunch," he said, "and while that is
being prepared, I will show yen over
my house."
While tney were passing through
Don Alsina's stables, in which there
vere three carriages and two automobiles,
Manuela drew him aside.
"I have a confession to make,
senor," she said. "I like you very
much, but as your wife I fear I
should never make you as happy as
fou deserve. Notwithstanding all
;hat my parents told you, I assure

)e on the go. Will you not give me
me of your automobiles instead of
narrying me? Rosita will make you
t far better wife than I should, and
! am sure she will gladly marry you."
The accommodating Don Alsina
eadily agreed. It was a matter of
ndifference to him which of the five
jirls he married. He had treated
natrimony as a lottery and was wiling
to take his chances. Rosita
jladly consented to take Manuela's
dace as his affianced bride. Two
reeks later they were mart-ied, and

It is possible for the fine ship to
steam into Charleston harbor and
drop anchor within stone's throw
of the water front, and since there
is not a Georgia haibor allowing the
vessel to enter, Charleston will he
glad to have the people of Georgia
come in large number and let the

This is accounted a better place
ihan having the ship cake position

Reduced rates might be had and
there are accommodations for all the

Historian and Poet Dead.
After an extended illness, result- j
ing from an accidental fall down a
.e lair way last February, John A. Chapman,
the venerable historian, poet
and patriot, died at the home of his
son, John W. Chapman, in Newberry, |
a fow days ago.
Mr. Cl-.apman v,*as horn in EdgeQeld
county, in 1S21, and resided in Newberry
for the past fifty years. In 1SS4
lie retired from active business life,
and devoted' his time to literary pursuits.
Mr Chapman's first work was
'The Walk and Other Poeins," published
in 1873. "Within the Vail" and
"Verses for Old and Young" appeared
later. Kis best work in the poetic line
still remains in manuscript.
Mr. Chapman for several years In
the early seventies was one of the
publishers of The Lutheran Visitor,
and in 1.878 accepted the editorial
chair of The Newberry News. He filled
this chair very acceptably for some
years.
Perhaps Mr. Chapman's most important
work along the literary line was
his completion of "The Annals of
Newberry" up to 1890. The first part
of this volume was "Written by Chief
Justice John Belton' O'Neal, which
extended to I860. Here the work was
taken up by John A. Chapman, and
completed through The year 1890. In
1893 "Chapman's School History of
South Carolina appeared, and was
adopted the same year for use in trie
public schools of the stare. He is
also credited with the authorship of
"Stephens' History of ihe United
States."

Lyon Talks of Dispensary.
"If the present legislature doesn't;
- * -foto Sienpnsarv out Of SOUlh |
(JUL LUC .Itavi. - - .
Carolina, the next one will. The vote [
it the people has shown clearly what i
they think about it."
So says J. F. Lyon, who won out
in the strenuous fight for attorney
general.
"The people will no longer permit
Senator Tillman to dictate how they
shall vote and what they shall think,"
remarked Mr. Lyon, contemplatively, j
"I believe that they would have re-;
turned him to the senate, no matter (
who opposed him?but he can't run !
the whole state."
The election of Ansel and Lyon
means that South Carolina is tired ,
of the state dispensary and its graft.
Mr. Lyon, then a member of the lower
house, was a live wire in the investigating
committee which turned up so
many things in the dispensary management
that the business looked like \
an insurance trust in the packing- J
house district. He was willing to talk
about some of them.
? k
"For instance," he said, "the stale
dispensary was paying a Chattanooga
I whisky house $3 a gallon for whisky,
I which was sold in Chattanooga for
$1 75 a gallon. True, it was delivered
at the dispensary, but that cost only
3 or 6 cents. Then a house up east
received a rush order for labels
enough to cover several millions of
dollars' worth of whisky and the dispensary
paid $35,000 for the lot. We
got bids for duplicating the order
from other firms for from $7,000 to
S9,GOO. The president of the glass
company which makes bottles for the
dispensary admitted afterwards that
by cancelling their contract and letting
a new one the committee saved
the state over $30,000. These are just
a few straws which show which way
the wind blows.
"Dicl Tillman use his pitchfork on
me? Well, ~ather. He got stirred up
first because our committee delayed
matters, as he said, while we were
holding up the whisky bills to make
the whisky men talk. He intimated
that the committee was doing a little
gratfing on its own account. Then I
made a few remarks about a rebate
which had disappeared while Tillman
was governor ana sain something
about a piano which was said to ha\e
arrived at Tillman's home with the
compliments of a whisky dealer. And
after that Mr. Tillman acted as if he
didift want me to be elected."

A Blow to Dispensary.
A Columbia dispatch says: The
death of State Senator W. E. Johnson
cf Aiken may have more to do
with the overthrow of the state dispensary
system in South Carolina
even than the election of an antidispensary
governor in the person of
Martin F. Ansel.
In the senate Johnson was an influential
man, and an ardent supporter
of the dispensary system.
So far as the politcians can now
figure out. the house of representatives
recently elected will contain
a majority against the dispensary. The
last house was anti-dispensary, but tbe
^ Imi.I TT/> i rt f o
Hem a* uiajumj vi uvc in iavor
of the dispensary and killed the
ill to destroy the institution which
the house passed. Since the recent
elections, in which Ansel was nominated
for governor on an anti-dispensary
platform, it is calculated that
tJiere are twenty senators favorable to
?he dispensary and two in doubt.
Johnson ha1 been counted among the
twenty dispensary senators. His successor
will be elected within the next
few weeks and both dispensary and
anti-dispensary factions will make a
hard fight to carry the county. The
ioss of this vote by the dispensary
clement may mean the loss of the
majority in the senate.
In the second primary election between
Ansel rncl Manning for governor,
Ansd received in Aiken county
1.5.15 votes i.nd $46 went to Manning,
showimr ihsit the countv on a test is
opposed to ihe dispensary. Tvo of the
three representatives elected trom the
county are also opposed to the state
dispensary, being elected on a local
option platform.

An extraordinary incident in connection
with the presence of an American

Thursday evening, when Commander
Colwell was approached by an accredited
emissary of Alfredo Zaya3,
president of the liberal party, and
General Loynaz del Castillo, commander
of the insurgent forces in Havana
province, with a signed offer from
each of the men named to surrender
their commands and hand over their
arms to Commander Colwell on the
sole condition that the United States
government, through him, guarantee
fair and Judicial trials. Commander
Colwell, accompanied by Charge de Affaires
Sleeper, immediately carried
the opposition to President Palma.The
president was immensely pleased, and
asked Commander Colwell If he would
accept the surrender. Commander Col.
well replied in the negative, but ad-.
vised the president to communicate
with the Washington government on
the subject, which was done accordingly.

ARRESTED IN PITTSBURG
Fled From Augusta, Ga., Last July
After "'Hitting" Banks for Nearly
$200,000?Broken in
Health and Spirits.
Broken in health and spirits by the
tterrible experiences of the past three
months, Thomas W. Alexander, formerly
a wealthy broker and prominent
society leader of Augusta, Ga.,
was arrested in a hotel at Pittsburg,
Pa., Sunday night charged with the
forgery of documents on which he is
said to have realized $200,000 before
his sudden departure from Augusta
two months ago. Alexander and his
brother were partners in a brokerage
business, and his downfall is attributed
to speculation in cotton.
The prisoner was permitted to remain
temporarily in his room at the
hotel under guard of two detectives.
He signified his willingness to return
to Augusta without requisition
papers.
"I would face my accusers a thousand
times rather than live the past
two months over again," sobbed the
prisoner, as he sat in his room.
Since his hurried departure fromAugusta,
after his financial crash,
Alexander has been a fugitive. Traveling
almost constantly, he has been
in hourly dread of arrest. He managed
to elude the officers in New
York, Philadelphia, St. Louis. Chicago
and other cities, until: with his nerves
almost jompletely wrecked, he finally
ai rived in Pittsburg Friday.
Going to a hotel he registered as
Thomas W. Burton. He had not been
in the city more than a few hours un
til the Augusta officials who had been
tracing hirn knew of his whereabouts.
When the detectives walked up to
Alexander in the lobby of the hotel,-be
was nervously pacing back and forth,
his' chin sunk upon his breast
"You are under arrest, Mx. Alexander,"
said one of the officers.
"My. God: caught at last! Hurry,
take me out of this crowd," was the
reply.
The detectivesj escorted him to his
room. There he broke down completely.
At first he was not wiiling
to return to Augusta without a legal
fight. He seemed to dread his return
in disgrace to the city where only
two months ago he Was one of the
leading business and club men. Finally
he consented to go without a requisition

striking appearance", tall and wellbuilt,
with a clear eye, and nerves

to answer to tbe many criminal
charges is stoop-shouldered, nervous,
and but a shadow of his former self.
He told the officers that after making
his escape he traveled constantly.
