Representative Patterson Tbinks We'll Get No Aid from the Government. k.Washington, January 31.?Representative J. 0. Patterson, who for some Time has been working with the department of the interior, for the r purpose of drawing up a bill for the aramage of the swamp lands of the United States which would conform with the washes of the department as well as the congressmen, today stated V that he was a Tittle disappointed by by the point brought up by the de> . partment, which is that the land if to .. be drained by the goverment will have first to become the property of . the government. Mr. Patterson attended the meeting of the congressmen appointed by the secretary of interior to discuss this question and draw up a bill, and ^ stated to this correspondent that his hopes were shattered. "The United States government win not expena p. one dollar for the improvement 01 the swamp lands of the United States, the largest area of which are in the Southern States, unless the property is deeded over to the government and that without any strings attached," said Mr. Patterson. "The government has irrigated the arid lands of the West, but it belonged to the government and they disposed of it as they saw fit. The owners of property in our section of the country will not be willing to deed over *to the government their swamp lands without any definite understanding 1 that they will be able to again gain possession of them, which would have to be by purchase. Although the lands are not worth very much to thflm nnw. and the drainage would mean a great deal to the surrounding country, still they will not give up ' the landis with the'probabilitv of not being able to regain it, and the possibility. of having undesirable neighbors placed on the land adjoining their farms. I therefore do not think that any satisfactory bill ean be framed to aid the South in draining her swamp lands on a large scale. Of course from time to time there will be certain areas which will be drained, and in time the whole area will probably be converted into fertile healthy farms, but this will not be in the near future." Mr. Patterson has been selected by the department of interior to fight whatever bill they drafted through the house, but ^ince the meeting it nrvnQovc fliot if tarill nr?f Ko nnecihlo fn CbMy^CU aj Uiav i ^ TTlii wvw MV J^/VWAA/AW w arrange a bill which will conform with the regulations and also with - the wishes of the people.

Senate Refuses to Approve Suspension of Berkeley County Officer. Columbia, Jan. 31.?The Senate to-day in executive session declined to approve the suspension of county auditor Wiggins, of Berkeley county. Some time ago, it will be remembered, upon the report of the comptroller general, Governor Ansel susDended Mr. Wiggins as auditor. The suspension was reported to the general assembly. A few days ago Senator Harvey undertook to have Mr. Wiggins h|)d in his position. The Senate did not finish the case. Today Mr. Harvey managed to have the Senate take an early start, and the final result was that the Senate declined to approve the suspension. The Berkeley county delegation wished Mr. Wiggins retained in office, as they appear to be fully satisfied that whatever mistakes he made were un?-L" 1 ?j :J intentional anu acciuenuu. The Senate took no action on the suspension of county treasurer Edwards, This case appears to differ from that of Mr. Wiggins. Mr.' Browning is now holding the position of county treasurer. There was no temporary or other arrangement as to the county auditor's office. Seven Killed in Boiler Explosion. Sunbury, Pa., Feb. 3.?Seven men were killed and more than a dozen injured by the explosion of a boiler today in the rolling mill of Van Allen & Co., at Northumberland, two miles north of here. / The seriously injured who were brought to the Sunbury hospital probably will die. The rolling mill had been shut down for three months and was to have resumed work this morning. All the boilers and machinery had been overhauled duing the suspension. The men were preparing to begin work when from some unknown cause one of a number of boilers blew up. The whole building in which the boilers were located was wrecked and the dead were found under the ruins. Those killed were well known citizens and are survived by large families. The loss to the plant is estimated at $75,000. fleasure for Drainage. Washington, Feb. 4?Representative Legare today introduced a bill in the house for the drainage of the swamp and overflowed lands. This bill has received the endorsement of Mr. Garfield, secretary of the interior. " v Senator Latimer has introduced this bill in the senate. ' Ugly Row Near YorkvlUe.

It seems that the negroes gathered there, had plenty of liquor and got drunk. They then had a quarrel about a woman and the shooting and cutting with razors began. One negro, Jube Rivers, was shot with a ball in the heel while running from a Dunlap negro, whom he had cut. Another negro, Nathan McCleave, got a ball in the side which ranged around the front of his body and was found in his clothing. The shooters were two brothers named Dunlap. One was cut on the arm and the other in the body, with a razor. The two latter were arrested by Mr. Sam Inman and Mr. Clarence Glenn and held until Sheriff Brown and Constable J. L. Sanders went out and brought them to jail. Drs. W. (i. White and T. B. Bell rendered medical attention to the wounded and none is supposed to be seriously injured. City Council fleeting.

Knight appeared for the board of public works and informed council that the board would not be able to purchase a small engine for the electric light plant under the resolution adopted at last meeting of council. The proposition of the county supervisor as to working town convicts on the county chain gang was accepted. It was unanimously agreed by council that the operators of slot machines be required to conform to the law. This will affect the cigar machines operated in this city. The police were instructed to break up the practice of persons congregating on the street in rear of the dispensary to drink. The matter of moving the electric light pole at the corner by H. C.

Much indignation was created and Holcomb's indictment followed. x ; ' 1 mm 2 AT PRICE'S! lv * '^P X Loose Grated Cocoanut, pound..20c 2 ^F Graham Flour, 24 lb. sack 81.00 French Opera Coffee, pound 25c "B^ m* Swift Premium Hams, pound....l8c (ft, Swift Premium Shoulders, lb...l2^c ftp JI Full line of National^ Biscuit Com ^ 1 pany s taxes ana tracxers. ?, Fresh supply Lowney's loose Choc- si X olates.

Modern Woman Co-operative Housekeeping For Business Girls?Vanity Hoodoos Many Feminine Business Ventures. How to Keep the Maid. :: :: Philadelphia may be slow in some particulars, but as far as benevolence is concerned it is second to none. This is particularly true of its philanthropies for the benefit of self supporting f women. It has its splendid woman's hotel in the shape of the Young Women's Christian Association building at Arch and Eighteenth streets, where moderate prices are charged for excellent service and where the finance's are so managed that there is no margin . Df loss, as is claimed for some of the pretentious and high priced women's hotels in other parts of the country. One of its latest projects is co-operative housekeeping for business women. The Second Presbyterian church has iust opened a fine house adjacent to its Settlement building where for n reasonable sum wage earning women may have a beautiful home. There are separate tables in the dining room for each patron or group of patrons, and each may have her own gas stove for cooking in the kitchen. The rooms are handsomely decorated and artistically fbrnished, while china and silver are supplied for the tables. * * * Vanity gets women into more trouble than almost any other quality. Miss Jane Addams points out that most of the reckless investments made by self supporting women are due to the blandishments of unscrupulous promoters, who appeal to their victims' judgment as "business women." Even the most feather brained female believes that she is a person of penetration and astuteness, and to have her own opinions so flatteringly verified is enough to induce her to invest in the proffered stocks, and in the course of events she loses. Sound enterprises do not have to go a-begging for money. It * Eggs must be cheaper in the canal zone than they are here. Miss. Gertrude Beeks, who went down to investigate conditions in Panama for the government, says one man told her that he had eaten so many that he shuddered whenever he heard a hen cackle. Housekeepers who are paying a half dollar per dozen for eggs' long parted from the hen would be glad if a paternal government would import some of Panama's superfluous fowls here, where the music of their cackle might delight a famine stricken public. * It In a recent Interview Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, who Is living at Sands Point, on Long Island, ridiculed the heroines of old fashioned fiction. Lady Castleton she termed "cattish" and Amelia Sedley a "ninny." She thinks that people would not tolerate such types nowadays. After all, human nature Is pretty much the same in all ages, and in spite of Mrs. Burnett's opinion many people who read and observe cannot see that the petticoated "cat" and "ninny" are as yet lost types. They sail across the pages of fiction, being most numerous In those volumes devoted to picturing so called "high life." The cat and ninny are products of the idle life and are less numerous among busy women than in the leisure clasfe. The cure for "cattishness" and "ninnism" is to be found in work. * * A fair day's work for a fair pay Is Mrs. Smith's rule. She dole not expect the cook to be a Waldorf chef nor the upstairs maid to do fancy sewing for her. But she does ask both to do plain cooking and plain sweeping and dusting well. After they have been in her house a week cook and parlor maid decide that there is no nonsense and no demand for extras on the part of the lady of the house. They make up their minds that It is a good place to stay in, and they do their work accordingly. A bad servant, one who is sloppy or 111 tempered, is not worth bothering with, but any" woman of medium intelligence who is neat and appreciates the right kind of mistress can be trained into a good servant who will stay in a house indefinitely. 11 1t It Isn't the doll child that is having it hardest in its first year at school, but the child who has never been taught to obey. Teacher has not much tide tor moral suasion, and the mother's darling who doesn't yield to the fljst gentle urging will feel the weight of the iron hand in the velvet glove. After all, it is the kindest as well as the wisest thing for the child for its mother to teach it the lesson of obedience at her knee. * * Miss Margurite De Forest Anderson, a woman who has won success as a flutist, advises women who have weak lungs to learn to play the cornet, flute or some other wind instrument 'She : says it has developed her from a delicate girl to a young woman of superb chest development Miss Anderson studied under Albert -Fransella, the most celebrated instructor of the flute. She has appeared at Windsor castle and at many of the most brilliant concerts in England. Now she has re( trned to America to be heard in concerts here. K * The woman who is fondest of entertaining you with stories of her past conquests is generally the one who has vthe least to talk about. | MARY DALE. || CLEARING OUT SAXE]M Sk Clearing Out Sale going on at J.
