. DEATH POWERLESS. Man Lives Despite Desperate Wounds in His Head. Camden, April 5.?Breaking all known surgical records and showing a vitality unprecedented, Adolph Kelly is alive and conscious a month after receiving two wounds, either of which would have proved fatal to almost anv one. He was ohonned in the head with a hatchet, his brain protruding through the wound, and then shot through the forehead the hall lodging inside the skin at the back of his head. Despite these desperate wounds Kelly has never lost consciousness. His physicians, who have marveled at his living this long, express no hope of his ultimate recovery, and state that he is growing weaker and will probably die before the end of the week. Cut With Hatchet. As a result of family trouble and too much whiskey, Kelly, who lives about six miles from Blaney, on February 6, threatened to kill all the persons in his house. Brooks Cornwell, a 17-year-old-boy, who is close kin to Kellv. attempted to stop him. Kelly resented it, and drew a pistol and tried to shoot. Cornwell grabbed a hatchet and with a mighty blow ? eut his head open, exposing his fcrain. |L This blow did not stop Kelly, and | he still tried to shoot. Cornwell forced the pistol against Kelly's head, and in the struggle it went off, the hall going through his forehead and lodging in the back of his head. Kelly still showed fight, and went into his room and secured a shotgun, and went through the house hunting young Cornwell. | Kelly's wife saw the condition that he was in and begged him to lay down, which he did. Did Xot Lose Consciousness. Kelly did not lose consciousness, and recognized all of his farmhands that came to see him that night. He was operated on the same night and has been lingering since under the care of Drs. J. W. Team of Ridgeway, Grisby of Blaney and Watson of Columbia. Dr. Team. stated over the phone this afternoon that Kelly had been losing ground for the past few days, and that he did not think that he eould last much longer. He said that a piece of brain as W? as a hen's earcr was Droiecting out of the hatchet wound and that it was impossible to get it back, and that his right side was completely paralyzed. The side of the body opposite a . brain wound of this kind is where the paralysis sets in. Somewhat Similar Case I The wounding of Mr. Anderson, a section master, which occurred here last year, is somewhat similar to this. Mr. Anderson was struck by one of his negro laborers with an axe, exposing the brain on one side of the head. He hovered between life and death for several months. He was operated on at a hospital in Rock Hill and is now able to walk around, although he is partly paralyzed on one side. Cornwell, who is in jail here, says that Kelly has no hard feelings toward him, and that if he lives there will be no prosecution. He says that - Kelly was drunk and that he (Cornl\ well) was protecting the ^women of tho hniisp BLEEDING THE COUNTRY. Lame-duck Commissions Getting Too Freqnent. ' Ten members of the national monetary commission now draw salaries of $7,500 a year each. When the commission was originally appointed, the members were not paid salaries, inasmuch as they were members of the senate or the house and there was a constitutional obstacle to the drawing of two salaries by congress, men. Inasmuch, however, as the members of the commission in all eases ceased to serve in congress with the end of the last session, provision was made for the payment of salaries to them just before the adjorunJnent. It is now a well-paid "lame duck" commission, consisting or tne following men: Ex-Senators Nelson W. Aldrich, Julius Caesar Burrows, Eugene Hale, Hernando D. Money, Frank P. Flint, Henry M. Teller and James P. Taliaferro, and ex-Representatives James- MacLachlan, Geo. W. Prince and Rpbert W. Bonynge. The names of Messrs. Prince and MacLachlan were added only last month in order to provide places for them in the public service. Another "lame-duck" performance that deserves criticism was the placing of ex-Senator Warner of Missouri upon t- the board of ordinance and fortifications at a salary of $5,000 a year. All such offices are practically sinecures, and the effect is to pension indirectly the occupants. The multiplication of commissionerships under the federal government should be investigated rigidly by the Democratic house.?Springfield Republican. z - ; ' ' *' . w- ~ -> ' i - ' : 'vA j/ FELDER MAY TELL.

Hartsville, April 8.?One of the most horrible accidents that have ever occurred in Hartsville happened this morning at 5 o'clock in the baggage coach of the negro show, "Silas Green," which was sidetracked in the Atlantic Coast Line yards. After closing an engagement of two days here, the troupe had packed and was ready to leave when fire was discovered in the baggage car. In this car u-pre oicrht nppnrn mpn fivp Shetland ponies, a horse, a mule, trunks and other paraphernalia. It appears that the men having worked hard, had fallen asleep. The doors of the car were closed as a heavy rain had fallen during the night. As the fire burned on top and on the side, a natural inference would be that the fire was caused from ignited gas, but it is denied that there was any gas in the car. Two Dead. One man was taken from the car dead, being horribly burned about the face, hands and feet. One of the injured, Willie Dundee, Hartsville negro, died later. The others, six in number, were sent to the hospital at Sumter. All are very seriously hurt Three are thought to be fatally injured. The physicians of the town have done all in their power to relieve the suffering of the injured, the wounds have been carefully dressed, and it is hoped that three will recover. Pitiful Sight. It is a pitiful sight. The faces of some are burned almost beyond recognition. Three of the five Shetland ponies are dead, and two are injured. The show is entirely a negro aggregation. There are 40 in the troupe, which Jias headquarters at Milwaukee, Wis. The owner is Ephriam Williams, the business manager R. C. Puggsley.

What effect the loss, amounting to about $1,500, and the death and serious injury of several of the employes will have on the show is not known. Much sympathy is felt here for the sufferers. Magistrate Tyson held an inquest over the body of the negro who was taken out dead. DANDYISM IN 1772. \ i Extravagant Fashions of the Macaronies in Georgian Days. Dandyism developed a new phase of quite richness during early Georgian times and the court requisites were stately figures in finely laced shirts, long-skirted coats and goldclocked stockings. The hats worn by the beaux were modified reproductions of those in fashion at Versailles and the art of wearing them was shown in the tilt; in fact, different angles in the tilt identified the wearer's status and locality. In 1772 dandyism became again paramount. A band of young bloods returned from an extended tour abroad, and while in Italy they had contrived to get several new ideas about dress into their somewhat empty heads. Fired with an ever growing sense of their own importance as arbiters of fashion, they formed themselves into a group known as the Macaroni club, in contra-distinction to the good old-fashioned Beefsteak club of Lon Ul/ii. The Macaronies dressed their hair in enormous side curls, with a hideous knocker-like twist at the back. With this exaggerated coiffure a tiny hat was worn, which it was correct for the wearer to raise with his tasseled cane. A soft white handkerchief was tied in a huge bow under the Macaroni's chin; his coat was short and his tight knee breeches were made of striped or flowered silk. Thus garbed with innumerable dangling seals, two watches at least, silk stockings and diamond buckled shoes, the dandy walked abroad, eminently satisfied with himself and quite convinced that his appearance was greatly envied.?"Beau Brum * tt.?__ m* 99 mei ana nis xiixiea.

My limbs and body were swollen one-third larger than natural, I water collected around my heart and I had to be propped up in bed to keep from smothering. I took Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy until I was entirely cured. This was in 1902, and I am now able to do any kind of work on myfarm. My cure was certainly marvelous." L. TURLEY CURD, Wilmore, Ky.
