Below we print a very interesting
article oil telepathy, which means, as
far as it can be put in language, com
munication uf minds at great distances
without atty known medium. The
Newberry Observer says the science,
if such it is, is now. Thc unabridged
dictionaries of only a few years ago
did not even contain the word "tele
pathy." Still it is older than wireless
telegraphy; which it resembles in
some respects, bul is far more wonder
ful. Some sort of reasonable and in
telligible explanation can bc given of
the Marconi system ol'wireless mes
sages between distant points, hut
there is no explanation for this kind
ot' communication. That the fact
exists cannot be questioned. All we
can say is, as Hamlet said to Horatio:
"There are more things itt beaven
and earth than arc dreamed of iii your
philosophy."'
Every man may be bis own tele
phone. This is the amazing declara
tion made by thc believers in tele
pathy, which may be described as the
wireless telegraphy of the mind. Slr
William Crookes has recently startled
tlie scientists of tho world by declar
ing that it may bc possible to send
thoughts across the Atlantic ocean or
around the world wit bout either cables
or thc apparatus of .Marconi.
"ls it inconceivable," said he, "that
intense thought, concentrated toward
a person with wnom t he thinker is in
close sympathy, may induce a telepa
thic chain of brainwaves along which
a message of thought univ go straight
to its goal without loss ol' energy due
" to distance? May not the words 'far'
and 'near' lose their meaning in these
subtle regions ol' unsubstantial
tb ought? 1 dare to suggest it."
This is the opinion of Sir William
Crookes, tiie inventor ol' the Crookes
tube, which made the X-ray possible,
thc president or thc British Associa
tion of Scientists, the "king ol'chem
ists" anti hero ol' many a scientific ex
ploit. Telepathy, this new and mys
terious power ol' tim human mind, is
not di III cu lt to understand.
Dr. ll. Osgood Mason, fellow ol' the
New York Acndeiiy of Medicine, says:
"There are fortunate individuals to
day who have nu need ol' mails or tele
graphs, but who can communicate
with one another, no mal ter how
widely they may ba separated. A
man named Fitzgerald, at Brunswick,
Me., saw anti described the Great Fall I
River lire, "!0i> miles away, and Mrs.
Porter, ol' Bridgeport, Conn., described
the burning of the steamer Henry
Clay at the time that it wasoccurring
on the Hudson river, near Yonkers."
Ian Maclaren, the famous novelist,
theologian and preacher, has been for
several years a believer in tile new
science. Ile says: "I believe it is
possible for persons miles apart to
talk to one another without wires.
This mysterious signaling most fre
quently makes itself felt in the hour
of trouble, and is often a call for lie1;?.
One afternoon, to give a striking in
- --..vw.va.tt??jc( i made up my llst or Hitit;
people, and started on my rounds. Af
ter completing the Mist and while
going along the main road, at ?ihuut
.?1:30 o'clock, I feit a strong impulse
( ui turn down a side street and call on
a family living in lt.
"The impulse grew so urgent that
it could i: ?t he resisted, and I rang
the bell, and considered on thc don
step what reason I should give foran
unexpected call. Wino the door
opened it turned out that strangers
now occupied the house, and that my
family bad gone to another address in
thc street, Hie precise number being
unknown.
"Still Hie pressure continued, as if
a band were drawing me, and J sat
out to discover t heir new house, tin !
bad disturbed four families with vain
inquiries. Then i abandoned the
search with a sense of slut me. Had a
busy clergyman not enough todo with
out going on a wild-goose chase?
Next.morning the bead of that house
bold that 1 had sought in vain came
into my study with evident, sorrow
on bis face.
" 'Weare in great trouble,' lie said.
'Yesterday our lit Ile one (a young
baby) took very ill and died in the af- ,
ternoon. My wife was utterly over
come by the shock, and wc would have ;
sent for you, but we liad no messen- ?
ger.'
" 'What time was if?. 1 asked.
" 'About half-past .'I."
Another notable telcpathlst is
Bishop Samuel Fallows, of the lie
formed Episcopal church. "Telepathy
is no longer a theory," says Bishop
Fallows; "it it is a fact. 1 have, been
interested in it for years, and the
thing I am pondering now is bow to
bring it into common everyday usc.
It works on the same principle as the
new wireless telegraphy of Mr. Mar
coni. I will iiail bim as a benefactor
of the human race who will teach peo
plo how to use ibis tremendous psychic ,
force." \
A young merchant, who bad sev- i
eral days before buried bis wife, was i

BOM IS NlSWllUltltY CAS 153. ;
Here aro some well authenticated i
cases that occurred in Newberry in
this State. Tiley are related by the
Newberry Observer, whose editor, Mr. ,
W. II. Wallace, Is a highly cultured i
gentlemen, and who would not vouch
Tor a thing unless it was absolutely i
true. The Observer says:
On the morning of thc 25th day of
February, 1 ?S77. just about day-light.
Mrs. George McWblrtcr of that elly
was gently roused from sleep by feel
ing a band upon her forehead -which '
she took to bc the hand of a dead i
sister-and a voice said. "Father is lt
dead." Her lather was living inn
Union, and when she last beard from
bim previous to Ibis lime be was in
good health. In a few minutes j
she was again asleep, and precisely >
thc same message uti inc to ber in tlie <
same way, .'iud woke ber. She drop- j 1
ped dir to sleep again, and thc ex- i
pc rici i ce was repeated a third time. O
Sbo then ?ioc??iria-Lliofotfgii?y fouvln?
c*? ?hut bei- faibbf'wUs.Ucud^h?u" no
moro1 doubt of lt th??i if shb bad seen
bim dib; Sim {'elated the occurrence
to her husband, who tried to laugh
lier out of what he called "supersti
tion, V reminding her that she did not
believe In such thing.
Sbe .said: "lt ls true I have no
superstition, but I know that Father
is dead, and when the telegraph oftice
opens this morning we will get a
message saying so." When the oftlee
was opened a message came saying:
"Your father dropped dead this morn
ing at six o'clock;" which was Just the
time thc strange and Inexplicable mes
sage have come to her.
Another instance fully as strange
as this happened tu Dr. L\ H. Ruff,
a physician ol' Newberry, who died In
18110. Dr. Kuli was the grandfather
of Mrs. Iiibert li. Aull of this city.
Ile was an honored citizen and dis
tinguished physician. No man ever
stood higher in public estimation. Ile
was a man of much more than or
dinary intelligence and judgment
and culture, in his profession and
otherwise. Some time before the war
bc had a son, Pressley, at school at
Mt.- Koon, then in Edgelield county,
now Saluda, about Hf been miles from
Newberry. One morning the convic
tion came suddenly to thc father that
the son had just died. Ile went to II.
G. Chapman, thc undertaker, and said
to him:
"Dick, my son Pressley is dead at
Mt. Koon. Get a pair of horses from
(icu. Kinard's stables, hitch them to
your hearse and wc will go over with
a collin for him."
Mr. Chapman asked if he had the
sou's measure.
"No," he said: "you know the size
of my son."
As soon as thc arrangements were
completed, Dr. Hug and Mr. Chapman
in a buggy, and the hearse driven by
an assistant and having thc collin in
lt, started for Mt. Huon" by way ol' the
Higgins ferry road. He tween Lind
say's bridge on Hush river and Saluda
rive they met a negro on a horse, on
bis way to Newberry, riding "rapidly
and bringing the news of the death
of thc young man.
Mr. Chapman was greatly astonish
ed and asked Dr. Hull' If this was thc
ti ist news lie had received of the
death of his son. Ile said: "lt is;
but I knew my son was dead."
Upon comparing the time, lt was
learned that the son had died at
precisely thc moment thc strange
message came to thc father.
Among thc persons to whom both
Dr. Hutl and Mr. Chapman told this
incident is .lames Y. Culbreath of
that city, who knew both men well
for many years, as did also the writer
ol' these incidents.
Mr. Chapman in relating the cir
cumstance a<lded that that from the
time the young man died until the
negro mel them on the way it was
not possible for any message to have
reached Dr. Huff-not meaning, of
course, that thc doctor's word need
any continuation-for everybody knew
him to be absolutely truthful-butas
one of the strange features of this won
derful occurcnce.
lt. should be added that there was
no reason why Dr. Lui IT should be ex
pecting Icol news from his son. So
far as he I.new Lin: young man was in
perfect health-was so when he last
beard from him. His death was-sud
deti-from a congestive chill, Mr. Cul
breath thinks.
Hearst lila/.cd tho Way.
The recent decision of the United
States Circuit, Court- against .the
Northern Securities Merger, which is
(.nc of the most important rendeied
in years, is indirectly the work of W.
li. Hearst, ?if New York. Tho de
cision strikes at the root of illegal
combinations, and has openod thc
way for thc investigation of the whole
trust question. While Mr. Hearst,
says thc Spartan burg Herald, had
nothing directly to do with the case
that has just been decided, lie sought
an injunction against the Coal Trust
in New York and it was his lawyers
who marshalled thc evidence and di
gested the decisions upon which this
action was based. In the Coal Trust
tight. Mr. 11 ea ist had a hostile prose
cution and ollicials clearly disposed to
shield rather than expose. Circum
stances were di itere nt in the Northern
Securities' Company, but the Hearst
?L'lit blazed the way and marked the
dangerous points. Because Mr. Hearst
owns three powerful newspapers, his
light on t he Trusts was kinked upon
as "Yellow Journalism." IL was
I bought tobe for advertising purposes.
Hut the decision just rendered shows
conclusively that if only the Coal
case could have been gotten properly
before the court, the main issues
ol' thc illegality of Tursts would
have been settled a year ago. Thc
S partan burg Herald says "Hearst is
mc ol' the most interesting charac
ters just now in thu public eye. Horn
to Immense wealth, lt would seem
that he would be content to follow in
the tracks of other young men whose
lathers left barrels of money on their
hands. He could easily have invested
his millions so as tb make other mil
lions: and lt' he desired fame he could
in old agc build libraries with his
name.carved in brass over thc door.
Ile could join with those of this class
in forming combinations and squeez
ing tlic people. Thousands of easy op
portunities offered, but the career ' he
?hose is the last that one would have
supposed attractive to a man in his
itu ti on. Mr Hearst struck out boldly
n journalism where competition was
iierccst, where ideas were set, where
prospects seemed darkest and he. has
?cl neil ted the public to a new journal
ism. He has fought the battles of
[he people. While he has given bread
Lo the hungry, what is more to the
point and more appreciated is that he
lias lent all of bis powers and resources
Lo tho task ol' defending the weak
tguinst the unscrupulous strong."
A Total Wreck.
The section of a .southbound Louis

which left Montgomery, Ala., at 12.
10 Wednesday night, was wrecked at
(Jast?ebcrry, ten miles south of
Montgomery Thursday morning. Two
members of the crew were killed and
John Wright of Montgomery; the
engineer, sustained a fractured skull.
No passengers were injured. The
lead arc H. L. Donovan, Mobile, rail
way mail clerk, and Major Knox,
Montgomery, negro li re??an. Almost
in front of the station at Castlcberry
the engine struck an open switch and
plowed through au empty freight car.
Thc mail and baggage cars which fol

\Vlftj of Prof. W. JE2. ?ren?or.?o Jum{i??
. iront a Summer.
News reached Andorsou Friday of
the suicide of Mrs. Martha Breazoale,
wire of Pror. W. E. Brcazeale of Rut
gers college, N. J. She Jumped over
board from a steamer in Long Island
sound last Monday night while en
route from her home in Brunswick,
N. J., to New York city. Her body
has not been found.
Prof. Brea/.eale is a native of An
derson county and was for several
years professor of mathematics in
Winthrop college. He resigned
that position several years ago and
went to Bordeaux, -Jj'rance, with his
family, where he remained for two
years. He returned to the United
States two years ago and accepted the
position of professor of mathematics
in Rutgers colicu?, and has been there
since.
A dispatch to The State says no
cause is known for Mrs. Breazeulc's
suicide, except melancholy following
111 heath. She left her home in H rims
wick without letting her husband
know of her intention, and he found
that she had taken a steamer for New
York only after diligent search. When
the boat reached port she was missing,
but her cloak and hat were found in
one of thc toilet rooms opening on the
deck. lt was plain that she had
jumped overboard at night.
A search ls being made for the
body, but at last accounts it had not
been found. The married life of
Pref, and Mrs. Brcazeale has always
been most happy, except for the
periods during which she would suffer
from melancholia due to ill health.
She attempted suicide while Uni
family lived at Winthrop by severin}.'
an artery in ber wrist, but was discov
ered by her husband in time to save
her life. Before doing so she left a note
for her husband declaring her love for
him and saying that she would take
her life because she feared she could
not live to rear her children as she
would like. Her mind dwlet largely
upon her children, and she became a
moho-maniac on that subject Mrs.
Brcazeale was a Miss Dodge of Massa
chusetts. She was educated in Balti
more and it was there that Prof.
Broazeale met her. She was .'18 years
old and the mother of four childicn,
ranging from 8 to 2 years old. The
youngest was born in France.

Thc Kev. Frank Sher, of Ashville.
N. C., recently adopted thc method
used hy Dr. Parkhurst, in New York,
of spying upon the unfortunate fallen
women of Ashville in order to inaugu
rate a social purity campaign. Ac
companied by a policeman, the pas
tor himself beingdisguised, he visited
all the resorts of sin in Ashville, not
finishing his rounds until after mid
night. We do not. impugn Mr. Su
er's motives, but we confess inability
to see how such a course as he pursued
is any part of a preacher's tni.-sion.
According to thc published accounts
he practiced deception upon the ab
solutely most friendless class of hu
man beings in thc world, by conceal
ing both his iden i ty and the purpose
of his mission. It is inconceivable
that he could hereafter influence one
of these women to accept the salvation
that he preaches from his pulpit, and
that is t hc mission of a pr?cher of ihe
gospel, as we understand it. Of
course, we understand that Mr. Slier
meant well, but wc genuninely regret
that he has imitated thc sensational
ist. Parkhust, in this matter.

THE New York Sun calls attention
to thc fact that Republican Secretary

Grover Cleveland in his speech In New

(litotes Mr. Cleveland where bc cites
tile generosi'.y of thc south to the
black man after the Reconstruction
period and tell of this prople "stag
gering under the weight of the white
man's burden," and then the New

says: "These words arc as generous

may seem ridiculous that so much

into thc pursuit of a trilling fraction
ol' a second-a period bf time so short

remembered that longitude ls calcu
lated on the basis or Givenwlch time,
and thc difference or the sixteenth or
a second would change perceptibly the
position ol' every meridian of longi

would be altered, and thousands of
people would lind themselves of a dif

all. Time is a valuable tiling. A frac

of "too late." one second is the same
as a hundred years. Like the hairs of

He hus not only boen a . thief, but a
specialist In crime, und his victims
were always widows. He made it his
business to secure the aciiu.intance of
women who had lost their husbands
?nd collected- Insurance money. II?
preferred widows with children, be
cause they were mon- helpless. Tue
woman who ls leit wi i family and

children. Kaufman knew it. and
cunited h's violin s by the dozen. H ?
didn't, marry them. He seemed lo
have a horror of bigamy, but no scru
ples about lying and thieving. Hu
made children love him, and women,
too. He was to be the protector in nt
least 24 homes that the poi'cc knew
ol. .Sometimes he borrowed money
and then disappeared. Again he
learned its hiding place and stole it.
Finally he robbed a woman or SSii and
a gold ring. She worked in a sweat
shop lor $('? a week, and had her babies
tri care lor. That didn't bother
Kaufman. There ls occasionally a
man born without a heart, you know.
Finally Kaufman raced a court. The
room was lilied with weeping women
and their children. "You are the
meanest, most contemptible criminal

The prospects are that if the gen

number of (55 men in eacli malitia com
pany tbere will lie a general cutting olT
of military companies in this state.
Lestthc "oralenmpany bc among those

lend a helping hand and a good linn
one. The law contemplates that every
male citizen of proper agc shall be ac
counted as belonging to thc militia
reserve, all subject to call. Those
who arc beyond that age ought, to see
that as many aide b idied young men
as can be bad in thc militia should
join the companies and especially the
local company. It needs the help
and support of the peuple of ibo city
men ami women anti every obstacle
ought lo bo removed from the way i f
every young mau joining tho military

A eenuin ex c ongressman tells a
story about a widow in his district who
desired a position in the agricultural
department.
"There was no vacancy at that
time," said he, "and I was consequent
ly compelled to advise my constituent
that 1 could do nut tiing for her until
hiter. Dut she persisted lu her effort!
to obtain a position and for two weeks
thereafter met nie at every turn. One
".lorning I had Jost finished breakfast
" ?L-n I was told by the servant that
was awaiting me In the reception
hall. So I assumed as pleasant a de
meanor as possible, and. entering tho
room, said in a sympathetic voice:
".Well, my good woman, what
news?'
"'Good news,' she said; 'good news,
Mr. Allen."
"'Well.' I sahl. Tm glad to hear that
And what la the good news':'
" 'Oh.' she said, 'good news, Mr. Al
len, good news. A woman In the agri
cultural department died yesterday.'"

The most precious of all stones, ac
cording to n gem expert, is the jade, on
account of hs rarity, its extraordinary
qualities and the mystery of its cutting,
lt was regarded as a sacred stone, and
nobody had a righi to possess it except
a prince of imperial blood. Arger his
Chitins, ii fatuous physician in Amster
dam al the time of the venais.".-nee,
published a work on the jade, or ne
phritic stone, as it was then called, on
account of its action tm the ional sys
tem. At the same period Italian au
thors spoke of the Jade as osiada and
discussed its wonderful powers l'or
hen ling sciatica.
The legends surrounding this stone
abound in history. (5oed specimens of
Jade are extremely rare, and Hie world
is at a loss to know how the Ch?nese
managed to cut it, because it is so ex
tremely lia i'd that nothing can make au
impression upon it.

Unen cloth was occasionally used
.for writing purposes, but was uevor
very common. Linen manuscripts have
been found folded In mummy cases,
and tiie Chinese In-fore the invention of
paper used silk and cotton cloth. The
Itriihiihs nlso wrote upon linen. The
lise of this material Introduced a change
in the manner of writing. The other
substances were rather engraved than
writ Icu upon, an iron point being used
for t ! e purpose.
To write upon linen it was necessary
to have some colored Huid which mij;ht
gel dry and louve a permanent mark.
The Ili-sl ink used was prnh.-ihly some
sort of soul or lampblack mixed with
sfee or gum water, and the H rat instru

ulting any fears as to the result, for
Dantzler and his lawyer, also colored,
are con testan ts every year, lt is said
that one of the grounds o? complaint
is that some negroes were refused

read and interpreted the Constitution
Intelligently (according to their own
statement). Thc testimony was taken
before a referee in Columbia last Mon
day. _
Bisnoi- Derrick, of the African
Methodist Church, said, at a meeting
of negroes in New York recently that
thc slave pension hill introduced in
Congress was an insult to the negroes.
Negroes like Bishop D-.rriek, who en
