Harrisburg, Pa., March 15.—Th< Pennsylvania supreme court having decided yesterday to send the case ol Samuel Greason, negro, under sentenci of death in Reading for the murder ol Job nGd wards in 1901, back to the Berks county court, the 'board of par dons today granted a continuance in his case and also in that of Mrs. Kate Edwards, white, who is also con demned to death for the same crime. At the February session of the par don board the condemned couple were reprieved until ten days after the pres ent meeting of tae board so that the attorneys could again take the case of Greason into court. The decision of the board today acts as a stay, pending the disposal of the case of the Berks county court. Greason and Mrs. Edwards had been sentenced to be hanged on Feb. 16, but on Feb. 15 attorneys for Greason appeared before the board of pardons and submitted evidence to the effect that Mrs. Edwards had confessed that Greason was innocent of the crime ol killing her husband. The board ol pardons thereupon reprieved Greason so that his case could be further in vestigated and reprieved Mrs. Ed wards in order that she might be used as a witness in Greason's Behalf. Nothing has been done looking to ward a new trial for the condemned woman. VALUABLE TABLEWARE STOLEN. $5,000 GUARAN- / TEED BY A BANK DEPOSIT Railroad Fare Paid. 500 FREE Courses Offered.

Paris, March 15.—The post pone mem of the Russian loan is definitely con firmed. This is likely to exert a pow erful influence towards peace as it is the first time the French financiers have shown an indisposition to ad vance any funds, while the uncertain ties of war continue. The following dietalls of the postponement are froir an authoritative source: A committee representing the syndi cate of FTench underwriters went tc St. Petersburg to arrange the condi tions with the minister of finance anc a contract was drawn up for a $120, 000,000 loan, taking the form of treas ury bonds running seven years at t per cent. The contract was then brought bacl< to Paris for the advance of all the un derwriters. In the meantime the dis astrous events in Manchuria naturallj aroused doubts on the part of finan ciers as to whether Russia shouli | make peace or pursue the war. The influence of the financial elements wa almost unanimous for peace but Rus sia's distinclination to consider peace appears to have induced the decisior j not to proceed with the contract and i accordingly the signing of which was ! expected yesterday has been postponed | and all the pending negotiations are also postitoneci. According to the Russian view this does not mean thal | the negotiations have been broken ofl hut merely that they are adjourned m the Russian authorities say the syndi cate holds itself bound towards Russia now as before. However, the circum stances of the adjournment tend tc show that, the syndicate inclines tc wait for some definite development of peace before proceeding any fur ther. It is authoritatively denied ir the highest Russian quarters that tht French government exercised anj pressure towards preventing the in crease of French holdings of Russiar securities. Nevertheless it is probable J that some members of the government noting indi\.ideally v^Kjed the pre vailing view that caution was deslra-; Colonel M. J. Burke, United Statea hie. Since M.

The Experience of a Boston Drummer In New Hempehlre. “I don’t know whether any of you fellers ever indulged In a hard cider drunk or not,” said the Boston drum mer, “but I had one experience, and don’t hanker after another. It was in New Hampshire, where they say that cider ages slow and gets that oily, unctlous taste to perfection. I took a day or two off my route to pay a visit to my uncle and aunt, and I had hardly greeted them when Uncle Dick brought in a pitcher of hard ci der to dampen the cotton in my throat. I hadn’t had any in years before, and it went right to the spot and tickled me all over. “As I was drinking my third glass and telling Aunt Hannah how all my folks were, a good-looking girl came In. As I was drinking my fourth and telling Uncle Dick what a fine farm he had, the preacher and his wife showed up. As I w r as slowly sipping ray fifth and wondering why in the devil people ran after champagne when they could get hard cider, a widow called to ask Uncle Dick’s advice about a sick cow. “I was introduced to everybody in turn, and was making as good an im pression as possible, when I sudden ly began to feel a strange elation. I think it was about the sane feeling General Nogi had when Port Arthur surrendered to him. I remember that I began to grin and laugh and .vanted to lend somebody $50, and then I lost track of things. “The next thing I knew,” continued the drummer with a sad shake of the head, “two days had passed and I was just getting over one of the biggest jags ever seen in that part, of New Hampshire. "What followed MURRAY IRON , MIXTURIE Now is the time toltakea spring tonic. By far the best thing to take is Murray'H Iron Mixture. It makes f mre blood and gets rid of that tired eeling. At all drug stores AOsj ti EJot 1.1 or direct from The Murray Drug Co., Columbia, S. C. No business can possibly be successful that is not adver tised. This is a sweeping statement, but it is true. There are tome merchants in this community whose experience apparently contradicts the statement. The contradiction, however, is only apparent. If they have attained any degree of success they have advertised. They have let people know what they had to sell, what they were here for and what they pioposed to do. Just in proportion to the thorough ness with which they have done this and met the conditions of their competitors they have suc ceeded. If they have used the newspa pers they have worked with the best tools so far as getting pub licity is concerned. If they have worked without the newspapers they have been handicapped and have not attained the highest possible measure of success. A fertile teed planted in fertile ground, carefully watered, will thrive and bear fruit A properly organised business, in any inhabited place, well advertised will succeed. The law ef growth is aa certain and Inraihle in one case aa the othac. fn himself the presidency of coun Oil of ministers and the ministry ol finance the government has indirectly exerted stijong influence on private financial affairs. It is eignifleant thal -the postponement of the loan Is coil cldent with a strong movement of thf influential French press favorable tc peace. The Matin prominently displays 2 statement believed to reflect the views of financial circles which declares thal If Japan is ready to adopt agenerous attitude by waiving an indemnity ol Imposing any humiliation upon Russia then Russia’s policy of war to the bit ter end will cease. It is noticeable that some of the Russian officials epeak approvingly of the latter propo eltion. They say peace is impossi hie if an indemnity or any bumillatlnB conditions are asked, so that the elim ination of those two points will go fai towards securing favorable cousidera tion of peace.

C..—whose noble head Is crowned with thosd sil ver hairs so beautiful and honorable In the righteous man, says: “Had I the power I would give the ballot to the mothers who rock the cradles of the world. It Is the mother to whom 1 the little tot looks up first of all with 1 love and confidence, and through all the ages the mothers may be trusted to live or die for the good of the sons and daughters they have brought in-; to the world.” The words of this dear old octoge narian recall my own beloved father’s [ words of approval and encourage ment to me when I summoned all my courage and spoke out to my world ' In appeal for Equal Rights for women In 1891. My father, too, was over j eighty years old, yet with all the feel-1 ings and ideas of an old school Southern gentleman I thank heaven: he had clearness of vision to recog-1 nlze the truth when presented to him by his own daughter. And then again I like to recall that the venerable George Tillman voted for and spoke in favor of giving the ballot to the taxpaying women of South Carolina in the constitutional convention in 1895. He said: “Wo-j man suffrage is coming. Women al-: ways exercise a conservative influ-, ence and they have wisely used the! ballot wherever it has been given! them and have not abused It. They vote in England and in four of the western States, and in half the States for such officials as school trustees. I don’t believe that 10,000 negro wo men In the State could evei command $200 apiece of property, but on the other hand 1 believe that 75,000 white women can do so.” This article from the Columbia Register I pasted in my scrap-book In 1895 and quote the words of the great statesman, George D. Tillman. Piety never parades itself. J. R.
