TWO KILLED BY FOUL AIR. Farm Well in Lancaster County ^ Causes Double Tragedy. Lancster, Sept. 6.?Jim Shields and "Buster" Craig, two negroes, lost their lives to-day by roul air in a wen > on S. P. Kriminger's place, two miles east of Heath Springs. The men were preparing to clean out the well when Craig's hat fell in. He went down to get it and. not ref turning. Shields also lowered into the well to find out what the trouble was. He likewise failed to make any response to those at the top. His brother, Sam Shields, then started ? down in the bucket, to wmcn ne was securely tied. After being lowered some distance he made a sign of distress and was at once drawn up. When taken out of the bucket he was in an unconscious condition, but later revived. Foul air in the well was the cause of the double tragedy. \ ? Platonic Marriage. Omitting sentimental pyrotechnics, and getting right down to practical, day in and day out, three meals and millinery existence, marriage is ,N not an unselfish relationship, says Erman J. Ridgeway in the Delineator for October. A man may pro test, and he may believe, if he is ^ very young and ardent that he is "taking this woman" to work for and cherish, and make happy; but way down among his instincts, if he troubles to look, he will find a conviction that this particular woman will make a good home for him, * and honor him among his fellows; that she will cater to his patriarchal aspirations in providing a family; ^ and that in her he will continue to find through the years sweet satisfaction for his soul and body hunger. The conviction may be unconscious, but it is there. If when a lover wooes his ladylove she were to answer: "Yes. I will marry you, if you will agree to a platonic marriage; no children, no love-making; ? rooms in a hotel; and an allowance," and old dodo might accept the terms, hut any real man out of the wheel chair stage would take to his heels. * There are probably a few things which, if a woman knew she was going to miss them in the marriage relationship, would send her flying * from it. V """ The Perfect Gentleman. Always offer your seat to a lady in a crowded car. Though she may not be young and beautiful, remem> ber she may be somebody's mother ?and that somebody may be young and beautiful. Should a lady step upon your corn in the elevator, smile pleasantly and assure her she has not hurt you in the least. When you arrive at your office you may soothe your agony by discharging the office boy.?The Delineator for October. % GOING "HOME TO DIE." * Frank Hendrix, Paralytic and Consumptive, Gets Pardon Columbia, Sept. 10.?"In order t that he may go home to die," are the pathetic words that conclude an order of Governor Ansel paroling Frank Hendrix, of Barnwell county, a ne^ro, who is said to be in the last stages of tuberculosis and to be also a paralytic. Hendrix was convicted > at the November term of court of > housebreaking and larceny and was sentenced to serve five years on the public works of Barnwell county. The county supervisor of Barnwell wrote Governor Ansel that Hendrix was a dead expense to the county, as he could do no work, having been paralyzed on his right side. A visit , from the county physician and a k' subsequent letter to Governor An sel brought the additional information that Hendrix's case was hopeless. as the negro was suffering from tuberculosis and might not live much longer. Hendrix has lost twentyf seven pounds since he has been serving his sentence. He has been treated for tuberculosis, being forced to leave JF the chain gang for two months while under treatment by a physician. ' Governor Ansel in paroling Hendrix says that he does so "in consideration of the circumstances of the case and as a matter purely of humanity." Hendrix must report f ? monthly to the supervisor as to his whereabouts and at the end of six months, if he is still alive, he must i then report to the governor for some disposition of his case. The Lash of a Fiend would have been about as welcome to A. Cooper, of Oswego, N. Y.. as a merciless lung-racking cough that defied all remedies for years.

The Man in Overalls Who Does Dangerous Work. Least noticed in the news of the day are those minor items telling of catastrophes met by men occupying an inconspicuous place in the world, says the Baltimore American. A belt slips and a mill worker is carried to his home on a stretcher by colaborers, uho administer crude comfort to a grief-stricken family and return to the hazardous occupation; a man at the smelter falls into molten metal; a structural steei worner running along a girder makes a misstep and plunges ten stories down; a sledge slips in the car shops and a man is crippled for life; a trainman in the performance of duty is maimed or killed?these and other incidents in the world of industry happen with a frequency that dulls the senses unless accompanied by some spectacular feature to cause a momentary thrill of interest. Certain occupations are hazardous, yet there is much hazardous work that has to be done. No machine can be substituted for the nimble fingers and brain of the trained laborer in certain tasks. Danger is everywhere in the mighty undertak- : ings of industry; but wherever dan- 1 ger is there is always a man to brave 1 it undeterred by any thought of the < risk involved. The hazard of the job is recognized, but welcomed i either because of its appeal, because it is the line of duty or because ' there is a family back home to support. To the credit of industry much : is being done to minimize risk and in the event of accident to render some measure of compensation. Railroads are among the most ener- <' getic of corporations in looking after the man incapacitated in the performance of duty, and recognition of : the obligation is general. The debt owed by the public to 1 the man in overalls is large, but sometimes disregarded. His work calls for no display of pyrotechnics to attract attention; it is generally i prosaic and frightfully hard. Upon i the faithful performance of it de- J pends the world's advancement. Credit for mighty feats of construe- J tion properly go to the brain that conceived and planned and executed them; but thought should be given to the men in overalls who did the J work braved the danger, endured the toil and wrought up into splendid realization the finished production. The man in overalls as he returns ! from work grimy with toil, weary I and uncouth in appearance, often is i subjected to many little evidences of : the existence of a petty caste of 1 clothes. His next door neighbor, a i clerk, may look sneeringly upon his i badge of toil, careless of the impor- 1 tant and honorable part played by ] this ordinary workman; the latter, 1 too anxious that his children shall 1 not be ashamed because their father < looks less tidy than the fathers of < their playmates, may slink in through the back to escape the pub- < lie gaze. l But there is no dishonor in honest < dirt. The workman plays an impor- < tant and essential part. In America, '< at least, any workingman can look < any millionaire square in the eyes 1 in the conviction that his work is 1 relatively quite as important. Let i there be mutual recognition of this < and there will be less of class clash 1 with the elevation of the laborer to i his rightful position in the esteem of i the community. < Answered by the Last Boy. The inspector was examining Standard I, and all the class had been 'specially told beforehand by their master: "Don't answer unless you are almost certain your answer is correct." . History was the subject. "Now, tell me," said the inspector, "who was the mother of our great Scottish hero, Robert Bruce?" He pointed to the top boy, then round the class. There was no answer. Then at. last the heart of the teacher of that class leaped with joy. The boy who was standing at the very foot held up his hand. "Well, my boy," said the inspector, encouragingly, "who was she?" "Please, sir, Mrs. Bruce."?Dun- t de*> Advertiser.

PATTERSON QUITS FIGHT. , ' c He Resigns "Regular" Democratic i Nomination for Governor. s I Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 10.?Gov. \I. R. Patterson to-night withdrew 1 from the race to succeed himself as < governor of Tennessee. Gov. Patter- >on was the nominee of the "Regu- i !ar" faction of the Democratic party 1 and has been bitterly opposed by the < independent State-wide prohibition s Democrats, who in coalition with the Republicans elected a State judiciary 1 :ast month, defeating a ticket for 1 fc*hich Goy. Patterson made a strenu- .< jus campaign of the State. On Tues- 1 lay the independents meet here in 1 State convention,'a majority of the c ielegates coming instructed to vote for the endorsement of B. W. Hoopar, the Republican nominee for governor, Gov. Patterson, in his address, t announcing his withdrawal, de- } flares he will not be an obstacle in ^ :ne way 01 nis party s success at me polls nor will he willingly contribute j n any way to the possibilty of sue- j cess of the Rpublicans in Tennessee. ^ He withdraws in the interest of har- ( nony and that Democratic factions nay get together to prevent the loss t )f the State in November. : Refers to Taft. f He makes reference to interfer- * ?nce of a Republican president in ( jolitics in Tennessee. In an inter- ? riew after the issuance of the statenent, Gov. Patterson declares that * le has no personal preference in the * nattter of a Democratic nominee and 1 hat he will take the stump for him, 1 vhoever he may be. Patterson's po- s itica! career has been a stormy one, 1 ncluding his defeat of former Sena- 1 ;or E. W. Carmack for the guberna ;orial nomination in a sensational c campaign, followed by the killing of Carmack here by the Coopers, their s ;rial which attracted nation-wide at- 1 ;ention and Patterson's pardon by * 3.

A Maine Captain's Adventure Alone; the Atlantic Coast. Capt. H. B. Trubock of the schooner Xanc-y Ann, from Maine with a cargo of pine lumber, said last night that his passage down the Atlanticcoast was a perilous one. "Just after we got well out of Kennebec and started down the coast we encountered a big school of whales," said the skipper. "Many of them were over 100 feet long. Our course lay right in the midst of them. When we hit the bunch one big fellow resented the intrusion by giving us a hard rub on the windward side. Over we tipped and shipped about 500 gallons of water. It was fully three minutes before the big fish left us. "I thought we were goners. My little ship has very small holes to let deck water off. For a moment we kept going over further, but all hands rushed to the upper side, and we gradually righted. After this narrow escape I tried to bring the ship more to the southeast in order to get out of the danger, but the wind was coming strongly from the sast and it was impossible to do so. "The whales followed us all the way down the coast and gave us much trouble. Occasionally one of the monsters would squirt a volume Df water in the air and swim directly into the path of the schooner, remaining there until we struck him. We were going at such a rapid rate that I expected this performance to stave in our bow. "The large load of lumber in the ship's hole braced the sides to such in extent that it was not very easy to stave a hole in it. If it had not been for that I am confident the Nancy A.nn would have been at the bottom by this time. "When we arrived'off the coast of S'ew Jersey a heavy northeast wind struck us, and I had to change the course more to the southeast to keep from going ashore. For about twenty-four hours we headed out to sea md temporarily escaped the frolicsome whales. When we put back to shore, however, we ran into them igain. "This time a very large one swam up to the starboard side of the ship md gave us an awfully hard bump. We went over to port and dipped some water, but not as much as before. "I have never seen so many whales together. There is evidently i scarcity of food about tbe North Atlantic, and they are coming south In search of it. I have often had :hem come up to the ship and swim ilong side for hours, but have never seen them so full of fight. # "At times the water about us was vorked up to a foam by their scramDling and fighting for a chance piece )f food. I estimate that there were 200 whales in that school. When we :urned in at Norfolk they continued lown the coast."?Washington Post. Wedding Etiquette. The bride's parents furnish every;hing up to* and including the monent before the bridegroom makes ;he response: "I do." This means that the bride's papa Days for the church decorations, the nusic, the carriages, etc. The bridegroom, however, must furnish his )wn clothing. This is enough to expect of the Dride's father for the time, and it is ' lot advisable to call upon him for inancial assistance for sixty days, at east. If he discounts his bills for ash, then he may be approached for i loan within thirty days. Other gentlemen than the bridegroom are expected to contribute to he gaiety of the affair. As many as ' Dossible should flirt with the bride's naids. Hurling of rice and old iboes after the departing couple is 10 longer considered proper.
