WOMAN CURSED BY DRINK.
No Doubt Inherited the Taste for Liquor
from Her Father.
There was a pathetic scene in the
I police court this morning when Justice
Pugh sentenced to the workhouse"
as a habitual drunkard a
young woman of refinement and eduV
cation, who confessed that in spite of
the prayers and efforts of her mother,
she was unable to conquer her love
. for drink. With tears in her eyes
pfc, the young woman pleaded for anothp?
er chance to reform. The police,
|yj* however, showed by their reports
gn',: that sue had Deen arrested again
pi and again and, indeed, had already
, served several terms in the workglfcj:
house. The trial developed that the
ter V young woman is the daughter of a
man formerly well known in Baltip*:.
more as a leader in his profession, a
man of brilliant attainment, whose
l own weakness, however, had cost
him every important position he had.
In the days of his affluence he had
given his daughter every advantage
of education and she had lived four
. years in Europe, where she acquired
: the mastery of every foreign language.
On his death she and her mother
removed to Washington, where
her ability as a linguist easily secur;
ed for her an important position as
a translator in the department of
state. During the five years that she
has been in Washington this young
woman has translated documents of
international importance, and her
work was always so faultlessly done
that on several occasions the departty
ment found it necessary to send important
documents to her, even when
she was confined to the workhouse.
k A woman of beauty and of refinement,
she was welcomed into Washington
society with eagerness, and
the hospitality offered Jier in Washington
homes awakened the dormant
love for liquor which she may have
inherited. The desire for liquor
finally conquered her. A few days
ago she was picked up in the streets
hopelessly drunk, and to-day she left
the court for a year's detention af
the workhouse. During her trial her
mother sat by her side, heartbroken.

STRUCK BY AXE.
J. F. Hicks, of Laurens, Suffers Painful
Injury.
Laurens, April 16.?J. F. Hicks,
father of Postmaster C. H. Hicks,
while overseeing some work on his
farm near the city yesterday, was
struck in the face with an axe, the
sharp edge or point cleaving the
fleshy part of his nose and splitting
the upper lip. He was rendered unconscious
by the blow, which was the
result of a rather singular accident,
but was soon restored, and after
six or eight stitches had been taken
in the wound he was made comfortable
at his home in the city. When
he received the stunning blow in the
face he was standing immediately in
front of a negro man who was driving
down a stake with a hand axe.
Suddenly the axe flew from the
handle, striking Mr. Hicks.
Drowns in River. ,
Morganton, N. C., April 15.?Rev.
McNeely DuBose, rector of the Episcopal
church, known and admired
throughout the Carolinas, was drowned
in the Catawba river, near Morganton,
while hunting early Saturday
morning with his two younger sons.
He shot a duck on the opposite side
of the river and tried to cross the
swollen stream to recover the bird.
For some unaccountable reason,'
whether from cramp in the cold
water or exhausted strength, he sank
and was drowned. At last accounts
his body had not been recovered.
Rev. DuBose had but recently returned
from a vacation and was in
vigorous health, eager for the hour
of his cherished ministry and entering
into plans for the future. This unspeakable
accident will bring grief
not only to his immediate family, but
to his many friends.
Mill President Takes His Life.
Lynchburg, April 12.?A. C.
Hutchins, formerly of Charlotte, N.
C., president and treasurer of the
Alta Vista cotton mills at Alta Vista,
a short distance south of Lynchburg,
shot himself through the head to-day,
death being instantaneous. A coroner's
inquest returned a verdict of
suicide, but the evidence threw no
light on the cause leading to the actl
The company which was formed
last year with $200,000 capital, ran
out of funds, but Mr. Hutchins announced
last week that sufficient
money had been secured to finish the
plant and put it in operation.

SHOOTS HIS FATHER.
W. D. Morden KiUod by Sixteenyear-old
Son.
Charleston, April 16.?W. D. Murden,
white, a car repairer in the employ
of the Southern Railway, was
shot and kiled by his 16-year-old son,
Isaac, on Saturday night at his residence
near Lincolnville, this State. It
it said Murden had been drinking
heavily on Saturday afternoon and he
terrified his family by flourishing a
double-barreled shotgun and threat
enmg to kill tnem all. some of the
girls of the family succeeded in getting
the gun and hiding it, whereupon
Murden boarded a train, came
to Charleston, bought a new weapon
and a box of cartridges and returned
home. There he found only his son,
Isaac, awaiting him, the rest of the
family having fled in terror at his
approach. Murden fired a shot at the
boy, who was standing on the step,
and followed the lad when the latter
fled into the house and hid behind a
door. He fired three more shote at
the boy before Isaac brought a magazine
pistol into play and killed his
father with a shot through the right
breast. The boy has been held for
trial and is now in the Berkeley
county jail at Monck's Corner.
Wants to Increase Rates.
Washington, April 15.?Praying
that it might make such rates on coal
from Dante and other points in the
Virginia coal fields to South Carolina
points as might be equitable and fair,
the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Railroad
company to-day presented its
arguments to the interstate commerce
commission.
Ever since this railroad began op

about a year ago, there has been dissatisfaction
on the part of cotton
mills because,.they say, that the rates
have been made higher on coal shipments
from Virginia points to their
mills than was the case before.
The road, in its petition recently
filed, asked permission to make and
enforce such rates as might be fair.
The question of bunkerage rates to
Charleston also came up for consideration
and was taken under advise.ment
by the commission.
The testimony taken several days
ago with printed briefs and arguments
was submitted for the decision
of the commission, which will be rendered
at some future time.

Postoffice Fight Ended.
Florence, April 15.?The fight over
the Florence postoffice ended tonight,
when John A. Chase, Senator
Smith's selection, took charge. Mr.
Kuker turns' oyer the records and
keys and whatever constitutes the
authority of the postmaster and custodian
of the handsome building belonging
to t?e government here.
This fight has been national in its
importance for a number of years, the
first effort being to replace Joshua
A. Wilson and his negro clerks with
white people, in which fight the East
and the West were lined up against
the South, party lines being pretty
strongly drawn and the race question
cutting a considerable figure.
Latterly the fight was Senator
Smith against the administration and
its friends for the right to name the
postmaster in his own town, and he
made a very hard fight and won
against odds that everyone thought
overwhelming.
Since the fight began so many
branches of the service have been
put under the civil service that it is
doubtful if the removal of the nej
groes could be accomplished. Even
the assistant postmaster, the last one
to be included under the wing of
the civil service, is now protected by
that law, but it is expected that some
provision will be made to compass
the desire of the people.
For Bryan-Bailey Debate.
Texarkana, Texas, April 16.?N.
A. Shaw, a wealthy farmer and prominent
in Texas political circles, believes
William J. Bryan is a thorn in
the side of Democracy and. that the
tariff differences between Bryan and
Bailey should be settled by debate,
in order not to imperil the ultimate
unity of the party.
Mr. Shaw states that he is willing
to bear the financial expense attached
to such debate personally and to
give the "gate receipts" to the Commoner.
Remains Not Yet Found.
Charlotte, April 16.?Though
searching parties have dragged every
nook and corner of Catawba river,
unremittingly ;11 day long, no trace
has been found of u e body of Rev.
McNeely DuBose, who was drowned
near here yesterday morning. The
little river, swollen by recent rains,'
is still a raging torrent, and it is possible
that the body may be swept
many miles down the course of the
stream before it is recovered.

3RKINQ FOR
THE WIT OF BEES.
' Industrious Insects Seem to Be Endowed
With Reasoning Power.
A Virginia farmer had a few
swarms of bees which he kept in
what are called box hives. Inside
these were small boxes which would
hold about two or three pounds of
honey each. About eight of these
were placed in the top of the hive,
and as at least one side of each box
was of glass the keeper could easily
look into the hive and see when the
boxes were filled with^honey.
The farmer usually chose to do
this early in the morning, before
the bees came out to begin the labors
of the day, or at night when
they had finished them. Bees do not
like to have their .dwelling places
molested and generally try to sting
the intruder.
One day softe friends were at the
farmer's house, and as they wanted
honey very much the farmer thought
he would venture to take it out in
the afternoon. He knew that some
of (the boxes were quite full. The
hives stood a few rods- from the
house, and on that side of the house
were large doors leading into ^the
cellar.
It has been mentioned that the
boxes were partly of glass; but the
bottom of each was made of little
slats, so that the bees could go in
and out as they liked.
The farmer took out several boxes,
carried them into the cellar, shut
the cellar doors nearly together, and
hurried away. He put the boxes into
the cellar in order to allow any
bees which might be in them to fly
out and return to the hive; but, in
his haste to avoid being stung, the
farmer left the doors open too much,
so that the cellar was quite light,
whereas it should have been nearly
dark.
The bees were so excited and enraged
that they fled in all directions,
attacking every one who came in
their way. A woman on the porch
was stung on her cheek; a neighbor
passing along the road fared no better;
and a great running and screaming
ensued.
When supper time came there were
so many bees flying about the cellar
doors that no one cared to go near
them. Eary the next morning the
farmer looked out of the dining
room window and observed that the
air was still full of bees.
At about 10 o'clock he looked
again and not a bee could be seen.

A man who was walking through -ifffp
a train inadvertently left the door
of one of the cars open. A big man
sitting in the middle of the car yelled:
/'Shut the door, you fool! Were
you raised in a barn? The
man who had left the door vj #
open closed it and then, dropped into SS&
si seat, buried his face in his^ hands "! '&
and began to weep. The big man
looked somewhat uncomfortable and,
rising, finally walked up to the weep- 'Jgjt
er and tapped him on the shoulder.
"My friend," he said, "I didn't in- '5m
tend to hurt your feelings. I just
wanted you to close the door."
The man who was weeping raised
his head and grinned. "Old man," ~ JPJ
he said, "I am not crying because .
you hurt my feelings, but because
you asked me if I was raised in a
barn. The sad fact is that I was

Mahlon Irvins, Jr., of Merchant*
ville has a reputation as an actor and
takes part in nearly all of the local M
shows. In the last show that was
given "Shorty" had one of the leading
parts.
After the show, while he was taking
off his makeup, an elderly man
made his appearance in the doorway*
"Are you Mr. Irvins?" inquired ^
the old man. Jjj
"Yes," replied "Shorty," as he mo
tioned him to be seated. ?
"Well," the old man continued. *
I "I just want to tell you something.
I've been watching your acting tonight.
You should not be playing in
this town; you should be with Mansfield,

"those actors are dead." ^

he turned on his heel and left.? g^tj

they were almost as light as air,
