to shoot him, whereupon ho

Chief of Police Salley of Perry was

the attempted assault and was asked
to keep a lookout for the negro. Monday

A dispatch from Washington to
I The News and Courier says the Cnlt<mI
States National Museum lias just
received from Dr. Wheatson Kurd,
now residing in Washington, a forts
pound cannon hall, IIred from Sumter
at. the beginning of the engagement
on April 12. 1st; I, which marked the
opening of the civil war. In connection
with the history of this shot.
Dr. Ford says:
"This cannon hall was tired by
Anderson from Fort Sumter on the
121a of April, 1801. At the beginning
of the tight Major Anderson gave
his attention to the floating battery,
which Wits moored in the cove at
Sullivan's Island, near the western
extremity, about it mile and a quarter
from the fort. Three of his shots
struck the battery and rebounded
upon the sjind bar. failing to penetrate
more than a few inches. I was
one of the surgeons of the hospital
at Mount Pleasant across the lagoon
back of Sullivan's Island, and as
there was nothing to do. there being
no wounded, in company with it cot

lying in front of the floating battery
on the sand bank. I caught up
one of them in my handkerchief and

value. I then took the ball .successively
to Charleston and Aiken,
and Ibence to St. Louis, where it

of now railroad and otlmr enterprises

progress. Had there been any genoral
and suhstantial outcry availed
tlie railroads for wI h spread injustice
in tludr freight or passenger truth"
some excuse might have been found
for tiie passage of regulatory acts,
hut there was little such agitation,
and therefore the conclusion Is
I forced upon t no observer that the
responsibility for the passing ol
such laws lies mainly with the comparatively
few politicians, inspired
by selfish motives, perhaps of a retaliatory
nature.
Vet ti is to the future that one
must look for the worst effect of
these laws. Commerce and industry
are making greater demands upon
he tailrei ;s for adequate factli.ie:,
J out the companies are hard pressed
| for money arid orders for new cars
| and engines have fallen off tromendo
s y as compared with last year, although
there has not been any letup
in I he rush of freight, and most of
the roads are handling more business

need is not to be had except at proh

has o be done by means of
shor timo notes for meeting pressing
requirements. The outcome of
such conditions is plain enough. It
might be easier iiad not labor and
everything else which the railroads
need advanced in cost, but these increases
In operating expenses, coupled
with decreased earning power
0 .. the new laws, have put the
companies at their wits' end for the
ham.ling 01 their finances.
To sum it up the situation Is tills:
The railroads need more funds to
m >et tlfe needs of their patrons.
Kates of interest demanded by capital
are higher than ever for railroad
enterprises; too high for the
railroads to afford. How, then, can
they prevent another congestion of

King Oscar of Sweden got up between
S and half-past 8. dressing
with the help of a valet. He took j
coffee in the breakfast room togeth- .
with the Q wen. with whom he set- |
tied any lainily mailers, and read
the morning papers. By 10 o'clock
King was ready for business. On
Tuesday he held an open reception. .
On Monday, the court, official, mill- |

Cn Friday the Swedish Council of J

devoted to Norway and to ihe
Swedish Norwegian Council of State.
At half-past 2 the royal pair took
luncheon, consisting of a cup of soup,
a warm or cohl course, a glass of ale,
or a glass of Marsala. After that
the King walked out or rode in Hie (

ten served was soup, fiHh, greens, a ri
steal and dessert, with three sorts *
of wine. On feast and parade days
en entremets was added and a glass
of champagne. It oftened happen- r
ed, however, that the King, with his I
simple taste, preferred for himself
two ^olc courses or a vegetable and
meat, leaving everything fine in- t
touched. After dinner the King was ?
won'- to attend the theatres or Free- (1
masons' lodges, or else he stopped n
at home and listened to music by c

There are probably ten the and
men who In the course of a ?' 'i nilo
'leal with the First National. Hewitt
knows every one of them.
There Is another duty that these
doormen perform. Often during the
course of the day one of the clerks !a
Mont out with a large sum of money
to another bank. The doorman always
accompanies him to see that ils
Mfo-'resM t h rone h the crow fled streets
is not interrupted by some crook
who 'iiows the value of the roll the
clerk ca t ries wit li him.
The oldest hank doorman In New
York Is Uforre II. Hewitt of the
First National Hank. In the old
days the police force stationed men
.11 many of the larger banks. Hewitt
was one of these men. He has been
i her** ever since, now more than thirty-one
years His partner John Budd,
has been In the employ of the hank
for six years and be for** that was on
the police force for many years.

Army Education.
The conditions confronting officers
and tit.m who have children to educate.
are simply pitiful. Many an
ottke1 is at this moment in debt, and
Maying interest on borrowed money,
so that he may send his sou or liis
daughter to a good school, or keep
them in some Ity where their education
wir. he continuous and uninterrupted.
No matter of domestic
oiiomy touches officers more deeply
than than (JiIr of the children's
ducatlon.
It Is true that the public schools
of a city, if the post be near a city,
tre generous In taking boys and girls
In, and some Jo so for a tuition foe;
but It Is, nevertheless, a fact that an
army officer cannot demand local
sche >' ser"1ce as a right, because of
his profession and his residence on
military reservation. Even when
uea a city, the post is outside of it,"
and the children spend from two to
wui umir? uauy travelling behind
army mules to and from the schoolh()U80.
The so-called "post schools" nowr
e:v.r. hllshecl, and to which children
arc gom< times sent through absolute
necessity because of Isolation, are a
farce, for the officer having the high
s< uiivllng title of "Superintendent of
Post Sch( ols." Is generally so fully
'-coupled with other engaging military
lutics that ho can give little or no
attention to the school development
and system, while the man who la
teacher has usually never acted la
thi capacity before.
Again, officers and men are so
chanv.ec' about that the education of
the chl'dren la subject to snd aiut
jOStly Interruptions, as they frequently
go back one grade In their transfer
from one locality to another.
Is there not a remedy for this?
