BURNING THE DEAD.
_____
A Custom That Can be Traced Back
to the Earliest Ages.
Creamation has been practiced by
most of the nations of the earth from
the earliest ages, and, although in
pagan countries it may have taken
the form of fire worshipping, there
can be no doubt that its adoption by
(the ancients was for the most part
prompted by other than religious
reasons. Greeks ascribe its introj?a:
-n-Vin having
f UUCUU11 W iici v-uivo, <IUV|
f v - sworn to transmit the body of Argus
I to his father, thought this the most
PI convenient way of fullfilling his
promise. According to Homer, the
burning of the dead was a common
practice among the Greeks long before
the Trojan war, but the earliest
record of it is among the Scythians,
who inhabited the vast region
known under the name of Tartary.
Slender accounts handed down concerning
the manners of some of the
j i ancient natives of Hindustan also
allude to the custom. The idea of
purification by fire was in all ages
universal. and with good reason.
Some believed that the body was
f unclean after the departure of the
; soul, and it was therefore deemed
necessary that it should be purified
Ji by fire. Ovid expressed the general
opinion of his time when he said that
the soul was not completely separated
from the body until the latter was
consumed on the pyre. The Athenians
invariably after a battle burned
the slain.
Announce Date Shortly.
Capt. J. H. Fanning, of Springfield,
was among the visitors "to the city
to-day. While in the city occasion
was taken to speak with Capt. Fanning
in regard to the proposition of
t opening the South Edisto river to
navigation. He stated that Capt.
Adams had been communicated with,
but as yet no date had been fixed for
a meeting to be held in Springfield,
t' and a trip down the Edisto river as
far as Bamberg. He stated that he
expected that this date would be announced
at some very near time, and
it would be immediately made
known.?Orangeburg Evening News.
TWEXTY-XIXE LIVES LOST.
List of Sailors Supposed to Have Beer
Drowned.
New York, Oct. 2.?There was
given out at the battleship New
Hampshire to-night a list of 29 men
who were supposed to have perished
by the swamping of a barge or whale
boat which was being towed to the
ressel at anchor in the Hudson nvei
last night. Appended to the list arc
:he names of IS men who are still
absent but who were not recognizee'
is having been in the swamped boat
Capt. Thomas S. Rogers, in command
of the New Hampshire, gave
3Ut the list with this brief introduction:
"The following is the list of the
men missing from yesterday's libertj
party, who are thought to have beer
in the boat that swamped last night.'
Only two Southern men are in the
list. They are: A. Mampley, coal
passer, Richmond, Ya., and M. T
Seals, electrician, first-class, Columbus.
Ga.
"It is not certain." comments Capt
Roriorprs "that these men were lost
as two of them originally on the lisl
returned to-day."
All day police boats dotted the
cove in the river above west One
Hundred and fifty-seventh street
their crews grappling for bodies
But their efforts were without success,
not one body was recovered
Old river men said they were not surprised,
as when the accident occur
red, they declared, the tide was run
ning up stream like a mill race witt
a brisk wind out of the southwesi
puhsing it along at even a faster clip
Phis would take the bodies far beyond
the scene of the disaster anc
possibly it will be several days before
any more are found.
Midshipman Chevalier, who was ir
charge of the swamped boat and whc
collapsed after saving 12 men, is stil
shaken after the extreme mental anc
physical strain.
R. Karl, one of the men supposec
to be drowned, is credited with hav
ing saved four men. Karl was a bi?
husky fellow and a good swimmer
In the water he held up two mer
until two life preservers came his
way. He gave these to the weakei
two and then swam around and founc
two other men who were exhausted
and sinking. These two he held ui
until they were picked up by a boat
Still, regardless of his own safety, h<
did not attempt to get aboard for feai
of overloading it. Nobody seems t<
have seen him afterwards. The ac
count of his bravery was given by his
shinmates.
. Warehouse Burned.

firm of Young & Mathis, was dis
covered on fire at 6:30 this evening
and burned down. The origin of th<
conflagration is unknown. From al
information procurable by the re
porter, loss is estimated at $10,000
two-thirds covered by insurance.
Blackville was visited by a seven
electrical and rain storm to-day anc
it is reported much damage was dom
to the crops, in addition to one o
the local churches being struck an<
fired by lightning. The blaze wa:
extinguished.

L About Whiskey.
The subject of alcohol and its
I feet on the human body has 1<
? been a favorite study of Sir Vic
Horsley and some years back
{ pointed out the little less than
) traordinary way in which milk i

treatment of disease in the Lon<
hospitals. In 1862 Sir Victor poin
i out that seven of the great Lon<
.1 hospitals spent 3,000 pounds on n
r and over ..>,000 pounds on alcol
while now the amount spent on n
r reaches the sum which was recer
; expended on liquor.

what whiskey is?" replied Sir Vici
i "Certainly. It is the most popi

1 That is What Horry Man Says Ab
Tillman.
J ~
In an interview given to the CI
2 lotte Observer's Washington co
1 spondent, DeVaux Porter, of He
2 county, talks interestingly of Ss
f tor Tillman and another term in
1 senate. He predicts that Sens
s Tillman will never again take
active part in the senate proct
ings, and will not be re-elected w
his term expires.
"It is common talk in South C<
1 lina," said Mr. Porter, "that
physical reasons alone there wc
1 be little likelihood of Mr. Tillr
i ever again being able to take up
} tively the work of a political Is
f er. Before this last attack he
f an illness that sent him abroad
p months in an effort to recover,
i since his return, though he seei
about normal, he has dropped i
- the background. All through
s tariff fight he seemed to be drift
f along. The truth is, Tillman
s lost his grip on the State,
e "Ever since he defeated Hamr
for the senate his position had b
undisputed, but at his last elect
when there was no candidate 1
dared oppose him, fifteen thous
it men scratched his name on the
i. lot just to show they did not
e him. That was a straw in the w
d It's strange, but even at the he
d of his power he never has been ?
to name office holders in the St
l- and the dispensary, which was
e favorite issue, has been legisk
? out of existence, in spite of
strenuous defense of it."

AX IRISH ROMANCE.
d's Recalled by the Death of Mrs. Kevin h
Izod O'Doherty.
An Irish romance is recalled by theElu
recent death at Brisbane, Queens!'.v
land, of Mrs. Kevin Izod O'Doherty.
ro. She was Miss Eva Mary Kelly, the)
daughter of a Galway gentleman, and
j as a young girl she contributed poems
hej under the pen name of "Eva" to Sir
in Charles Gavan Duffy's Nation, the
ine organ of the Young Ireland movethe
ment in 1S4S. Her poems attracted
ter wide attention, as did those of her
fellow contributor "Sparanza," the
: 3 nom de plume chosen by Lady
of Wilde, mother of the late Oscar
ity. Wilde.
Among the admirers of "Eva's"
ays poetry was Kevin Izod O'Doherty, a
ae>" young medical student, who was also
vas engaged in the patriotic movement,
-rs- and he secured an introduction to
it*1 her. As registered proprietor of the
vas Tribune, another Dublin paper of reeas
bellious tnedencies, he was arrested
ted for seditious writing and had as his
hl>" prison companion the late Sir
-m_ Charles Gavan Duffy,
his The jury disagreed twice, and on
ack the eve of the third trial he was ofjail
fered what was virtually a pardon if
has he pleaded guilty?he had certainly
the w ritten the article which was the baom
sis of the charge. He then sent for
ail- Eva.
t? "I don't like this idea of pleadmd
ing guilty," O'Doherty said: "'what
'tu- shall I do?"
t a "Do?" asked Eva, "why, be a man
and face the worst: I'll wait for you
however long the sentence may be."
A third trial duly came off. O'Doete
hertv was found guilty and was sentenced
to ten years' transportation.
;t?r Before his deportation to Australia, I
Ite Eva was allowed to see him in his
ex~ cell.
**as "Be you faithful," she said to
the O'Doherty. "I'll wait."
Ion O'Doherty was transported, but beted
jng released on parole in Australia
ion he was able to finish his medical stuli*k
dies and take out his degree. Years
lol? passed and he returned to Ireland,
lilk where Eva, true to her word in the
l^*v prison cell, awaited him. Two days
after his return to Dublin they were
ai(* married and O'Doherty with his
bride returned to Australia as a
tell voluntary exile.
P?u In 1885 O'Doherty came back to
tor* the old land and entered the house
llar of commons as member for North
Meath. He quickly tired of parliamentary
