School children "who use last year's geographies will need suj>plemeuts to cover the situation in the West Indies. It i:s difficult for tlie average man practically to conceive of the sphericity of the earth. Perhaps this fact will assist to such a conception. Singapore lies so nearly opposite London that Banca tin is shipped thence to England by the first steamer whether the steamer be going west to the Suez canal or east to San Francisco, the freight being the same by either route. _ Switzerlaud continues to export the larger number of complete watches to Japan, but it has been badly beaten by the United States iu the exportation of watch parts to that country, The competition has been fair, and' the Americans have won because they sell better goods at cheaper prices. To oil'set this,the factory at Osaka has discharged its American foreman and all American workmen, replacing them with Japanese who learned their trade in Switzerland. The Missouri river commission is experimenting with a new system for keeping open the channel of the river, which, if successful, will take the place, to a large extent, of the very Expensive system of revetments, and may be adopted on all largo rivers having treacherous currents and shifting channels. Revetments are made of willow mattresses, aud cost about $7 ?4n* f/vrtf Tlin KnnL* trt 1 iP snh. jpox iV/Vb* XUO Wuun UVMUV stit,uted are built of stoue. They are placed at the bends of the river, to keep the current from cutting away the soiL The expectation is that the water will cut into the bank below the bank head onlv to a certain distance, and then strike out across the river again. The bank heads are from GOO ! to 1000 feet in length, and the stretch of river bank between them is from 3000 to 6000 feet. Several of them have been placed, and the results thus far noted have been very eucouraging. : On the baM3 of a recently completed V'" school census Chicago papers are claiming that their city is the most rnsmoDolitan one in the Unites States, if not in the world. The total popu- I lation accounted for is l,8ol,588, of i which number 1,245,912 were born in | this country. Many of the latter, however, were of foreign parentage, and counting as Germans all those who were born here of German parentage, the German population is figured at 49(^642, as compared with the 488,683 Who are Americans both by virtue of HivtVinlara nnrl their n&renta' na tionality. This would make Chicago ?German city, although 261,704 of those thus classed as Germans were born in this country. There are other interesting totals according to national descent, Ireland is credited with 248,142; Sweden* 111,190; Poland, 96,853; Bohemia, 89,280; Norway, 45,690; England, 44,223; Russia, 38,987; Canada, 34,907; Africa, (colored), 25,814; Italy, 23,061; Scotland, 22,942; France, 21,800; Denmark, 21,761; Holland, 19,148; Hungary, 4452; Switzerland, 4401; Wales,3774,China, 2445; Belgium, 2211; Greece, 1644; Lithuania. 1411; Spain, 568; Mexico, 152. The military man who,next to Colo -it, w i i r HC1 XUHWeveil* UU3 uccu luitunaic XIX the reputation he has made out of the war seems to be general Wheeler, observes Harper's Weekly. He has filled conspicuous places both at Santiago, when General Shatter was sick, and more lately at Camp Wikoff. Being an older man than Colonel Roosevelt, and not put together with the same quality of rivets, he had the bad lack, which Roosevelt escaped, to catch the fever inopportunely at Santiago. Every one knows how resolutely he minimized that disadvantage. All that we heard of him in Cuba,and ' all we have heard of his labors and reports UUU UUSei'MUluun ui vawy Wikoff have tended to make folks think of him as a truly valuable citizen, wise, active, elfici^t, a very able soldier, and possessed of hp admirable spirit. Wherever we hear of him, he is doing good. Whenever we hear of him, it is something worth attention. It is matter for thankfulness that he is a member of Congress, and that when military and other important measures come up there next inter bis voice will be heard and will earry weight. The sympathy of the hole country goes out to him in the loss of his son, Naval Cadet Wheeler, who was drowned while bathing at Came Wikoff. im An Expression of Deep < zens of JV SHE ffiSf Of KEEN Majority of Philippine Congress States. Lord Roseberry's Sco ing Energetic Na One of the most fervent expressions of gratitude which has yet been uttered by the residents of any of the Cuban communities that have fallen under the military'occupation of the United States government, was that addressed by the people of Mantanzas to the two officers of the United States Army, Captain L. Niles and Major Albert Decatur Niskern, who were charged with the distribution of releif supplies in that famine stricken community. The address in part is as followes: "How can we command language to give utterance to the sentiment that sway our population? How can we faithfully represent and transmit the thoughts and ideas that vibrate in our hearts at seeing our fellow creatures redeemed from the horrors of fam ine by the inexhaustible cnarny 01 me | great American nation, so worthily represented by you? Jn the name, then, of those that have been rescued from famine, in the name of the city of Matanza.% in the name of all that is holy and Christian, we give heartfelt thanks to the American people for their timely assistance, which is another link to the chain of love and gratitude which al! ready binds us to them. All in Favor of Annexation. [ San Francisco, (Special). The United States transport Rio do Janeiro, which ha3 arrived hero brought the following to the Associated Press, dated Manila, September 22: "The Philinnino Conrrress has been in ses pion, since Tuesday, September 15. The first, thing decided Mas that the Philippine republic should not countenance any policy that should be agreed on, whereby Spain Mould have anything further to do with the islands, and would resist by force of arms any such measure. A vote was taken on the policy of annexation to the American republic, and annexation was decided upon by a large majority. Aguinaldo now expresses himself as personally in favor of annexation. Lord Roseberry's Speech. Pekth, Scotland (By cable). Lord Roseberrv, the Liberal leader and former Premier, in receiving the freedom of Perth, referred in the most cordial terms to the "good understanding betM-een Great Britain and our kinsmen in the United States." Continuing, the speaker said he believed the whole history of the ill-feeling which existed was one vast misunderstanding. Since 1779, by tbe madness ox one government and the want of wisdom of another, Great Britian had waged two wars against the United States, in neither of whicti were we conspicuously successful." Postponed for One Month. Report received at the War Department from the American military commissioners in Havana, indicate that the season has not yet sufficiently advanced in Cuba to make it even reasonably safe to send any large number of American troops to the island just now. According to the last advices from Gen. Y.'ade. president of the American com mission, it will probably be December J 1st before additional troops will be required in Cuba. The Russians Suspicious. Dispatches received in Berlin from St Petersburg show that the Emperor's journey to the East is veiwed with the greatest suspicion and it is fully believed that Emperor William is desirous of acquiring a portion of Ottoman territory. The Novo Vremya, writing in this sense, warns Turkey that even a slight session of Turkish territory will be the beginning of the partition of the Turkish empire, if not its ruin. Fi>c killed in a Railroad Accident. Fokt Woiitii, Texas, (Special). A rtri t'nn Tsland road ripnv here resulted in the death of five men. Three others will die, and two were seriously injured. A freight train broke in two at the top of a steep crrade. The rear portion could not be stopped and it crashed into the front section, wrecking and derailing several box cars. In one of the wrecked cars were ten men, evidently stealing a ride. Five of them were instantly killed and three are dying. Restrictions on Traffic Removed.

Acting Surgeon General Bailbache, of the Marino Hospital Service, has ordered the extension of the maritime quarantine service until November 15. The action is of a precautionary nature and designed to avoid any possibility of entrv of yellow fever from the ports in the West Indies. The French government has received Major Marchand's report, telegraphed from Cairo. It does not touch upon the Fashoda affair I III! j iratitude from the Citi-! latanzas. UN UNI SUPERSTITION.

An almost incredible story of nineteenth century superstition and gullibility comes from the town of Kempton, Bavaria, where a married couple, named Wohlfahrt, have been sentenced to imprisonment after having been convicted of an extraordinary series of frauds on a well-to-do farmer and wife, living near by, whose daughter, Crescence, recently died. The Wohlfahrts persuaded the farmer and his wife to believe that thoir daughter, Agnes Wohlfahrt, received frequent visits from the Virgin Mary, who told her that Crescence was not in heaven, but in purgatory. They further impressed upon the parentBjof Crescence that Agnes could arrange their daughter's release from purgatory if the farmer raid 300 marks. The latter paid the money and a little later Agnes was alleged to have received the news that Crescence had been married to an angel and advised to have her dowry sent to her, amounting to 1,000 marks. Then Crescence was supposed to have had a baby and the farmer gave more money to the Wohlfahrts. In short, the farmer was bled iu this manner until ho was ruined. But news of the affair reached the authorities and the Wohlfahrta were arrested. During the proceedings in court, 52 letters which Agnes Wohlfahrt was said to have received from the Virgin Mar}', were produced and the public prosecutor read a receipt "from the Mother of Christ," for 150 marks. Another document was a letter of thanks for a sack of potatoes and still another was an acknowledgement of receipt of 2,500 marks, which said that all the augels in heaven blew their trumpets when the money arrived. It was also developed during the court proceedings that Agnes actually gave tho farmer a sofa, a milk loaf and other things, which she declared she had received from heaven, while the farmer's wife personally baked a fine tart for the Virgin Mar}'. Frau Wohlfabrt, as the guiding spirit in the frauds, was sentenced to two veers' im prisonment. Energetic Na\al Preparations. London, (By Cable). The British admiralty has ordered every sea-going warship to have its crew made up to the full complement as ordered in case ol mobilization. The order of the British admiralty practically means the complete telling oir, prospective, of every ship's company in detail. Four torpedo boat destroyers, which were about to be fitted with new water tube boilers, have had their orders countermanded and have been instructed to redraw ineir scores, umcerg on leave 01 aosence or unemployed have been notified to hold themselves in readiness to commission their respective ships if ordered. Kaffirs Defeated by the Burghers. Pretoria, Transvaal, (By Cable.)? The Magota Kaffirs have been repulsed by the force of Burghers sent against them. The Burghers chased them into the mountains, killing several ol the natives. The Burghers artillery did good execution and the Transvaal forces suffered no loss. The fact thai the natives attacked the Burghers is regarded as a declaration of war. Change in the Tone of the French Press. The Paris correspondent of The London Sunday Times says: ''The change of tone of tno press is note wortuv. It is now certain tbat tn? Fashoda queston is left out of all negotiations between Franco and England, and that both governments have grasped the double fact that England! means to stick to her programme, while France is certainly entitled to facilities across tho Nile." Handed Without Delay. A special from Tompkinsville, Kv., says: "News has reached hereofthg lynching of Arch Baur, colored, whj committed un assault on and attempted the murder of Annie Morrison, oldest daughter of Henry Morrison, a prominent farmer of Cumberland county. Miss Morrison received wounds tliHt may prove fatal. ? ** Recommends a Peaceful Settlement. The Berlin National Zeitnng says if learns that Count Muravieff, the Run* siaa Foreizn Minister, has recommended to the French government a peaceful settlement of the Fashodt question, as Russia does not considol that war will serve tho interests ov France. Pola\ieja and the Queen Confer. A special from Madrid, says: Considerable speculation has been caused here by the holding of a long conference between the Queen Recent and General Polavieja, former governor of Cuba and of the Philippines. Departed from Constantinople. The Emperor and Empress of Germany have left Constantinople for Palestine. They received an ovation from the crowds of people assembled to witness their departure. A NEW BIT OF HISTORY. Virginia Owes a Company to South Caro- f lina. Co!. John P. Thomas, State historian, has just unearthed a curious bit of his- H torv relative to the roll of a South Car- a olina company, C. S. A., about, which ^ information was asked for. Within a a few days Col. Thotoas's work would g have been closed and his report gotten j ready for the General Assembly, and e the roll came to light just in the nick n of time. It reveals the fact, not generally known, aud not referred to in all Confederate literature, that Virginia owes at least one company to South Carolina, a South Carolina company v having served in the 37th Virginia c ca valry, C. S. A. t t Like Into a Mexican Dog. s A chicken without feathers is some- ? thing very rare indeed, but a specimen : of this sort was brought to Greenville Ktt a moi, /.AIM fka mAtinfoina 7 f TTCia ? KJJ m XJUBU 'im VUO iUVUUHHiuut a v >TMW raised bj Doc. Hightower. The chicken ? was hatched ia May and has never had ' any feathers except a few bristles like v pin feathers. Its skin is very red and tough, a natural result from the exposure to the weather caused by the absence of feathers. The chicken was c sold to an enterprising drummer, who j, wished to use it in advertising his j wares, and it was put on exhibition in I a Main street window. It is said that t Mr. Hightower has a mate to this t chicken which is as featherless as the o one brought to town. Dispensary Statistics. Dispensary Clerk W. W. Harris, in r the Governor's office, said that for the r mouth ending October 15th, the con- s stables had seized 285 packages of t liquor and wine, averaging about four t and a half gallons to the package, an t aggregate of 1,280 gallons. This did r not include a carload seized in Chester, nor a very great many packages of beer which are seldom Bhipped to the State dispensary, but are usually < dumped into the streets. This, he ? said, would show that the constables ( were not idle, but are very nearly sell- i supporting. The total amount of con- { traband liquor dumped into the tanks i at the State dicpensary for the pa3t quarter aggregated 34,4d7.t32. 1 An Architect Murdered. \ John G. Chatlin, a contractor and < builder of Greenville shot and instantly i killed Architect \V. E. M. Grube, i formerly of Rochester, X. Y., but who i has resided there for the past two 1 years. The shooting occurred iu q hall udjoining Chaftin's ollice. The latter was arrested and a coroner'sjury Boon brought in a verdict of willful , killing. Chaffin oame here from Yir- 1 ginia about three years ago. Grube ( was a quiet, inoffeusive man, and the j citizens of Greenville are indignant ] over his murder. The shooting occur j red during a dispute over a small amount of money. Abbeville Cotton Mill. I The Abbeville Cotton Factory is in i full and successful operation. The en- ' tire amount of the capital stock oi \ 8300,000 has been subscribed and nearly j all paid up. It is working on full time uud is turning out goods which are much sought after. Not long since the mill shipped fifteen hundred bales of its output to China. It consumes daily from hftoen to twenty bales of cotton. The manager recently put in twenty-two additional looms and expects soon to add thirty or forty mure. Arbor Day in Schools. At the last meeting of the general assembly an act authorizing the proper observance of Arbor Day by the public schools throughout the State was passed. In accordance with this provision Superintendent Mayfield will issue a circular letter to the county superintendents of education citing the act and request them to notify every teacher in their county of such law and _ 1 _ _ iL-i ft 1_ 1.* J ItL aino asK mac 11 ue compneu wuii. ( -. ? j Orangeburg's Trouble. The trouble between the cotton buy- < ers and weighers.of Orangeburg which culminated in a suit for damages against the buyers by the weighers and ] a temporary injunction against the 1 piaciug of au inspector on the cotton platform by the buyers, is doing, in J the opiniou of the business community, incalculable injury to the city's \ trade. j Governor Ellerbe has offered a re- j ward of $300 for the arrest of the party or parties who so foully murdered Mrs. J. 6. Adkinson, in Edgetield, recently. J Raids at the Isle of Palms. r The State liquor constables raided / the cafe at the Isle of Palms and the | place conducted by Nolte it Stehmeyer, and from the two seized about two hun- 1 dred dozen bottles of beer.

Some of the Summervillians (those ,ho are residents merely and not merhants), have objected from the outset o the proposition to quarter troops in hat village, notwithstanding that the oldiers, or the government for them, rill in this case, pay their own way. Jut now that a battalion of the Xiuth )hio, (negro troops, <>00 in number), in ddition to 2, GOO white troops, isreportd to be ordered to the encampment at iummerville, the "kick"' has become arv much accentuated. 4??

Ellerbe has received a reply from the Department of Agriculture to tiis request for a veterinary surgeou, stating that it is impossible to send an Dipert to the State, as the department had already mapped out its work, ind was uow short of veterinary surgeons. One of the new enterprises of Spartanburg is the manufacture of self-raising flour, by A. H. Dreyer. He has his machinery in good working order. He idds the baking powders and salt in proper quantities, and the ingredients ire thoroughly mixed. A very sad and most uncommon afliction befell Mr. and Mrs. Toi Herong, of the Emory section of Saluda :ounty, recently, in the loss of their ittle four-year old boy, who was imothered to death in a pile of seed jotton. "Among the things that Charleston xeeds very badly," said one of the leadng real estate men of that city, "is an up-to-date apartment house what is snown at the North as a 'flat'" Union has a modern Tom Thumb in :he person of Marion M.

A great lopular demonstration greeted the arival of the St. Louis here on her first rip since the war with Spain. The own was decorated with American lags and bunting. Thousands on the luajs cheered, salutes were fired and he chimes of Holy Ilood chnrch rang. It is often difficult to persuade the upposed sufferer from heart disease hat the stomach is the offending or;an. There may be no other dyspepic symptoms, and it seems absurd to irgue that one organ can be diseased vithout any symptoms, while another iresents symptoms without being disased. Furthermore, some people feel i little consolatory pride in having a leart affection, and do not like their liagnosis to be brushed aside and their rouble referred to the unromantic tomach. - 1 ... * HELPS FOR HOUSEWIVES. Shrinking Woolen Goods. All-wool cloth for dresses or any other purpose of clothing should be shrunk before it is made up. The easiest way to shrink it is to lay cotton cloths wrung out in cold water between the folds uf the wool cloth, and roll the whole tightly. Leave it in a cool place over night, and in the morning take cut the damp cotton and press the wool cloth dry on the wrong side. Be careful, however, not to press out the cloth. Good Homemade Cement. Equal parts of litharge und glycerine mixed together to the consistency of putty make a good cement for mending almost everything breakable about the kitchen. This cement will mend stone jars or any coarse earthenware, stop leaks in tin pans or washboilers and cracks in iron kettles. When lamp tops are loose they can be fastened on the lamp with it,and it will also tighten loose nuts or bolts where the nuts have been lost. Properly mixed, the cement will resist the action of hot and cold water, acids and almost any degree of heat. Of course, care should be taken to see that it is perfectly dry and' hard before the avticle mended is used; it sometimes takes a week for the cement to harden, and at other times only a day. This depends upon the amount of cement used and the state of the weather for drying purposes. The School I.nncheon Box. The packing of the school luncheon box will soon engage the attention of the home caretaker. In many households this duty devolves upon the waitress, but supervision by the mistress and mother will be obligatory if the appetizing niceties of the box are to be preserved. Thick bread, lumpy butter,and fat or gristly meat are still too 'often the maid's idea of sandwiches. Sweet sandwiches are both | relished and needed Dy cnuciren, though they need not be the only sort served. Bananas and cucumbers,each with mayonnaise, are appetizing at the moment; nuts chopped and held in a bit of whipped cream; dates chopped and freed from stones; raisins or fruits in a paste of icing,cream cheese, sardiues, olives, hard-boiled eggs?the list of tillings is almost as long as thut of foods. Little cupcustards and tiny individual pans of baked beans are liked as the weather grows colder, with sweet or plain wafers occasionally, or a piece ot cake, with invariably some seasonable fruit. Dainty Cushion*. Now, when the soft cushion is at the height of its popularity, there is a desire to be original and to obtain odd effects. A most charming effect was produced recently with the bright, foreign-looking yellow cigar ribbons. Ia a house where there are two or three w smokers, no difficulty will be fonpd jp soon obtaining a sufficient quantify of x ^ material. The ribbons must first be smoothed out with a warm iron and ere then ready for use. Mount them on some durable material, suitable for the article which is to be made. Tack or lightly baste the ribbons on the background either in parallel rows, diagonally from corner to corner, or '? if one has ability to design them into^ some pleasing effect by graduating the shades from the pale yellow to the dark orange in diamonds, fans, etc., so mnch handsomer will be the cushion. Each strip of ribboD must be fqather-stitched or herring-boned down to 0 the material on both edges by heavy silk of any desired shade. The cush ions look pretty if finished with a frill of soft silk, the color of the ribbons, or edged with a ruche of butter-colored lace. Baltimore World. Kpcipes. Berry Balls Make biscuit dough aud roll it out quarter inch thick; cut in squares, put spoonful of berries on each square, bring the corners together aud place them on a buttered tin. Melt one tablespooniul butter and one spoonful sugar in one-fourth cup boiling water, and brush the dough balla with it. Bake in hot oven; >serve with sauce. Broiled Liver aud Bacon The slices of liver should be thin, be sprinkled with flour aud pepper. Lay a slice of. bacon on each of liver and let the liver be next the fire at first.
