Suv LG-x,
Why Donaldson was Biacl
listed.
Governor Tillman baa published t
folio wing extraordinary reply to ti
Alliance men who asked bim vhy I
: blacklisted President Donaldson :
The effort appears to be made to lit
Mr. Donaldson as a citizen with M
Donaldson as president of the Alliano
and I premise my answer by sayit
tbat the Alliance bas nothing to <
with it, either directly or indirect!
except in so far as I felt justified
preventing its further betrayal. 1
answer jour questions categoricaly,
did ask Mr. Cleveland not to appuii
Mr. Donaldson to office.
My reasons were these-and agai
they have no reference to Mr Donah
son's private character, but to b
public acts, and I disclaim any feelio
of personal resentment or desire
injure bim :
Last spring when delegates wei
eleoted to the May State Con ven tic
Mr. Donldson wag repudiated by tl
Democracy of Greenville and be faile
to be elected a de.ega te either to h
county convention or to the State coi
v< ntion. He appealed to bis friends i
j other parts of the State to beip him n
trieve his failing political fortuoe, an
( a small caucus of leading Alliance me
from other counties went to work an
had bim eleoted member of the uatiot
al committee. It was presumed by th
convention at least that he was iu fu
sympathy with its opposition to Mi
Cleveland, and certainly he neither sai
i nor did anything to undeceive the me
j who voted for him. You are familia
with thc instructions given our delega
j tioos to Chicago and our action unde
! those instructions. We not ooly vote
j against Mr. Cleveland, bat worke
against him with two exception;
Judge then our surprix, ou reachin
Chicago, to see Mr. Donaldson in ope
affiliation with the Cleveland leaders
striving with might and main to defea
the purpose of the convention whic
had elected him on the national com
arittee.
Again, when the State Alliance me
fhorrly afterward, to my suprise I sat
him elected president of the Stat
Alliance. When I asked ao explana
tion I was told that it was the onl;
possible way to defeat the candidacy
of an avowed "Third Party mao,1
and that Mr Donaldson bad pledge?
himself not to eeok any office, but t
devote his energies to building up th'
AlliaBce I was not surprised, how
ever when, two weeks later be enterer
the field as a candidate for State Sen
ator from Greenville, feeling, I suppose
that the double endorsement of th?
State Convention in May and tbe Stati
Alliance in July, would reinstate bio
\ at home. But tbe people of Green
j ville were true to themselves and h<
! wa? not pieced
It will thus be seen that Mr. Donald
son played faUe with the May Conrea
tionby hts actiou at Chicago, and brok?
bis pledge to the ieadiog Alliance mee
not to seek office.
Now, io addition to that, when ]
remind you that Mr. Donaldson, ai
Senator, was tbe means of incorporating
io the railroad bill in 1891 tbe twe
objectionable features which caused mc
to veto it you cannot be surprised at wy
action. It was upon bis motion, at thc
suggestion, as I was told, of Buoch
McBee, that the right of appeal to the
Courts was put in the bill. He also
championed that feature of the bill
which kept the election of railroad com?
missioner in the bands of the General
Assembly contrary to tbe "Mareil
platform," thus showing his willingness
to stifle the will of the people.
AH of these thing taken together are
sufficient, as I take it, to warrant my
opposing bis appointment as a repre?
sentative of the "Reform party" ur of
the Alliance. Self-interest rather than
patriotism appears to have governed
his actions, and as the Alliance has
been side-tracked in nearly every other
State by self-seekers, and bas been seri
ously injured in this State from the same
cause, I could not conscientiously stand
silent without protesting against bis
being rewarded for treachery to the
people and to the Alliance.
Regretting the neoessity which has
forced a rehearsal of these undisputed
facts, which of themselves ought to
bave prevented Mr. Donaldson's ele?
vation to tbe position be holds, I will
submit to tbe verdict of the Reformers
and Alliance men of the States as to
tho wisdom and propriety of my action
Respectfully, B. R. Tillman.

A Formerly Groat Mining Town
That Is Now Deserted.
Where Th<mt?ndn of Miners Once Deg
Ont Forton?? There Arp Now Only
? ?ew Chin?*? Makio? ?
Bare Liria ?.
After the tourist on the Canadian
Pacific railroad has passed through the
fjcenic wonders of the Rocky mountains
and thc Selkirk range, says a Yale (B. C.)
letter, and has hung for hours above
the precipices in th? Fraser river canyon,
the train suddenly shoots out into a level
apace In the river valley and brings up
at a station called Yale. At present
Yale is inhabited only by a handful o?
white men and several hundred Chinese
and Flathead Indians, whom the trav?
eler sccs upon the station platform
with their baskets of tempting fruit.
Yale is dull enough to-day, but some
thousands of people once lived in the
little place, for it was the greatest
placer gold washing- field on the lower
Fraser and thc center of attraction in
British Columbia as long as it yielded
large quantities of placer gold dust.
The train stops long enough to enablo
the tourist to become enthusiastic over
the beautiful scenery that surrounds it.
East of the town is a mountain several
thousand feet in height, down whose
aides in rainy weather the loveliest of
cascades foam and tumble till they
reach the river. In front is the swift*
flowing Fraser, which here is calm and
placid in comparison with the roaring
stream the tourist saw a little earlier as
the Fraser tumbled down its rocky can?
yon to tho level country. Looking
across the river, the tourist sees far to
the southwest Mount Hope, whose top,
nine thousand feet above the sea, is
covered with snow.
In ?he fliih and sixth decades of thia
century, when several thousands of
miners were panning gold dust, Yale
saw its best days. After yielding for
years an average of fifteen dollars a
day to each man, the placer mines gave
out and then came decadence. Several
years ago the few white men in the
town believed its old prosperity was to
return. The Queen mine was opened
in a neighboring mountain, and it was
thought that fortunes would be taken
from the gold lead discovered there.
The prospect, however, did not prove to
be what it promised, and the mine was
given up. A little gold is still found
along the river banks and among the
sands near the shore. As the train
leaves town, tourists often see a few
Chinese dig-gin JJ ia the sand on the left
sido of the river. They aro satisfied
if they make an average of two dollars
a day. They monopolize the left shore,
but on the right bank, where the di?
lapidated town lies, ia a German named
Edward Stout, who has been panning
gold dust there for several years. He
uses thee radie and quicksilver process,
and is well eoS??St--i? he_secures an_
average of fifteen dollars a week. He
keeps bachelor hall, and is satisfied to
make a living. Gold washing is pos?
sible only during a few months in the
year. The Chinese work only from
July till November. At most other
periods of the year the water is too
high to admit of digging in the sand*
where gold is found.
DINNER IS AN OLD INSTITUTION.
tt Ha? Always Enjoyed th? DUttnetlon of
Bein* the Chief Meah
It is believed by some that the word
dinner springs from a corruption of the
word "dixheures," indicating the time
at which, in the old Norman days, this
meal was taken. The mere idea, says
the Chicago Tribune, of having dinner at
the barbarous .hour of ten o'clock in the
morning would in all probability send a
modern chef into a fit, yet it was at this
early time that persons of quality, both
in England and France, partook of the
meaL Froissart mentions waiting up?
on the duke of Lancaster at five o'clock*
in the afternoon, after he had supped,
and during the reign of Francis I. and
Louis XII. of France fashionable peo?
ple dined at half past ten and supped at
the latest at six o'clock in the evening.
From a Northumberland household
book bearing date 1512 one learns that
the family rose at six o'clock, break?
fasted at seven, dined at ten, supped at
four and shut the gates at nine p. m.
Louis XIV. did not dine till twelve,
while h is con temporaries. Cromwell and
Charles IL, took the meal at one. In
1700 the hour was advanced to two, and
in 1751 the duchess of Somerset's din?
ner time was three. In 1760 Cowper
speaks of four o'clock as the then fash?
ionable time. After the battle of
Waterloo six p. m. was the time at
which the beau monde took their sub?
stantial meal, while at the present day
many of the nobility do not dine until
eight or nine.
The Romans in the time of Cicero
and Augustus took breakfast: /rom three
to four in the morning, a luncheon at
twelve or one, and at abo9t 3 o'clock
the coena or principal meal of the day,
corresponding with our dinner". A Ro?
man dinner at the house of a wealthy
man consisted chiefly of three courses.
All sorts of stimulants to t?fe' appetite
were firs' served up and eggs were in?
dispensable to the first course Among
the various dishes we may instance the
guinea hen, pheasant, nightingale and
the thrush as birds most in repute: The
Roman gourmands held peacocks in
great estimation, especially their
tongues. Macfobius states they
were first eaten by Hortensias, thc
orator, and acquired such repute'that a
single peacock was sold at fift}' denarii,
the denariu* being equal to abou? Seven?
teen cents of our money.
A Hot Water Slot Machine.
Paris is now supplied with a novel
sort of fountain for furnishing hot
water to the people. An automatic
machine is used, to which the water is
conducted by means of subterranean
pipes. It runs through a coiled-up cop?
per tubing three hundred feet long, and
Ls heated during its progress through
this by gas, which is turned on by a
coin equivalent in value to one cent.
Thc amount of hot water supplied is
about eight quarts.

On a br?gn-? &itiitft?r morning early in

FEAR THAT LIFTS THE HAIF
Numerous Referentes to This Peculiar J
feet by Old Writers.
When the teller of a panther sto
wishes you to understand that thc he
or victim was badly scared he ave
that his hair rose, or "raised," or "rh
or stood on end, or lifted his hat, sa
Forest and Stream.
The notion-iii it be a notion-th
fright caused bj a panther or by son:
thing else, lifts the hair is certainly i
old one and venerable for its antiquit
This "hair on end" may be said to
hoary with age.
Job Iv., 14-15 reads:
"Fear came upon me, and trembling, -PT ii i
made all my bones to shake. Then a spi
passed before my face: the nair ot my fie
stood up."
Does not Virgil make his hero's ha
stand on end in that vox faucibus hess
passage? Thus Conington's transl
tion:
While thus in agony 1 pressed
From bouse to bouse the ?n?lesa ?ue^rt,
Tbe pale, sad specter of my wife
Confronts me, larger than In life.
I stood appalled, my bair exact.
And fear my tongue- tied utterances checked.
We have Macbeth's testimony:
Wby do I yield to fhat suggest!
Whose horrid Image doth unfix my hair
?nd make my seated heart knock at' my ribs.
Against the use of nature?
And says the ghost in Hamlet:
t obaid a talc unfold, whose lightest word*
Would harrow up thy soul; freeze thy yon:
blood; .
Mals?nf?yTwo eyes, i?ke starsTs^t?SJ?i^
?pbereS:
Thy knotted and combined locks to part.
And each particular hair to stand on end
Like Quills upon the fretful porcupine.
No doubt a thousand and one i
stances of rising of hair might be cit?
from literature, ancient and moder,
from the book of Job to this day.
But doe? fright raise the hair? Tl
scientific authorities assure ?? that tl
hair-raising belief is a notion without
substantial basis, in fact; but the ai
thors of text books, presumably, ha-*
never had an opportunity to' note fa
what does happen toa man's hair whe
he encounters a panther.
GILDED BREAD.
Looked Pretty, Bat It Cannot Raw
Tasted Any Too Well.
It was the custom at one time in Vei
ice, according to the Boston Globe, t
gild the rolls of bread and the oyster
on the supper table. The candles wer
also coated with gold. We read of dir
ners of state which lasted four hours
In 1553 ?he Patriarch of' ?quilet
feted Ranuccio Farnese, the pope'
nephew, in his palace on the Giudecca
The rooms were decked with extraoi
dinary sumptuousness; cloth of gold
paintings and illuminations adding t<
the effect produced by the patriarcb/i
cooks.
Among the gcests were twelve gen
fcl?men in fancy marine costume o:
green satin with red lining, wearing
caps of the same colors, and each ac
companied by ladies dressed hf white".
This repast also' Fasted four hours
varied by music and the professiona
entertainers of the day. It ended witt
the cutting up of certain large pies
from which live birds flew out into tht
room. The guests strove with eaci
Cather" to catch those birds.
But, perhaps., the most expansive
banquet ever given in Venice was thal
to Henry III., of France. He was feast?
ed in the great hall of the Doge's palace'
and there were silver plates for three
thousand guests.
At another time the s-?f?e* toon?ir'ek
was entertained at a sugar banquet; the
napkins, plates, knives, forks ?rt& even
thc bread (so-called) were all of sugar.
The Venetians were mightily pleased
when Henry took his napkin in his
hands, and, to his surprise, found that
it broke to pieces.
At least one thousand two hundred
and sixty different dishes were"served,
and three hundred sugar effigies were
distributed ?&ong the ladies:
SEA G?&L AS MESSENGER
New? of a Fan?oti? Disaster Carried to the
LMri? by a G?ll.
"Thc news of a famous disaster on
the great Indian ocean was lately
brought *o thte living by a sea gull,"
said a traveled who was on his way to
New Zealand, according to thc St. Louis
G lobe- Democrat
"Some years ago the Indian liner At?
lantis, plying between Liverpool and
Calcutta, was lost in the Indian sea
and all on board perished. At that time
I was sailing from London to Kew
South Wales via the Red and tho Iridian
sea?. The boat I was on was the Tri*
tonia, a good sound vessel, and t hatihn
enjoyable trip. While sailing in the
Indian sea a sea gull was one day cap?
tured and about its neck w'?<r fr>d a
small note, which read:
" 'Atlantw struck on the f?arad1 rock.
We are all- lost. Father Co?tbe/

Who Father Coathe was* and how ne"
happened to have a Sea gull a't? hand
will always remain a mystery. \Yhav
wonderful courage he must have had,
standing as he did on the brink of eter?
nity and there writing a message to the
living.
"We continued our journey to Sidney,
where the note and sea gull were both
delivered to the harbormaster. togRther

monger, of London road, Croydon, was
charged on remand recently before*
Mr. Biron, at the Lambeth police court,
with stealing" ?iid receiving a lady's* silk
umbrella, value seven shillings si?
pence, the property of Louisa Squires.
The evidence already given showed
that on Saturday the prosecutrix was
walking* along Kensington park roa?
with au umbrella in her hand; She saw
a trap coming along and a dog run?
ning behind. The dog came toward
her, took ho'd of the umbrella and
shook it, and she had to let go.
The dog then ran off with the um?
brella in the same direction as the trap.
The prisoner, who was driving, was ki
terward arrested, and upon searching
the trap the policeman found seven um?
brellas, including the one identified by
Miss Squires.
A second case was gone rrfto'. Mrs?
Henrietta Ray, the wife of Dr. Ray, of
East Croydon, stated that at the begin?
ning of last month she was walking
along London road, Croydon, in com?
pany with two other ladies. The wib
ness was carrying a sunshade; a dog
suddenly ran up to her, snatched her
sunshade and ran after thc trap, in
which there were two persons. That
morning she saw the sunshade at the
court.
Other victims testified. Eight um?
brellas were found at Hampton's lodg?
ings. Thc prisoner was committed.
CITY COUNCIL OF KEMPEN.?
Dutch Simplicity Was Their Strong Y??a?i
Like That of Some Other Connells.
Kempen, s town ?rf Holland- on the'
lower Rhine (th? birthplace Of Thomas
a Kempis), is a famous residence of peo?
ple with small incomes. The imagina?
tion of these Dutchmen must be as lim?
ited as their incomes, judging f rom* the
droll stories that are told of them, says
Harper's Young People.
At one time a fire broke out, an'tf
much damage was done because the en?
gines were out of repair. The council
met, and after much argument it was
voted that on the eve preceding every*
fire the town: o&ccrs should carefully
examine the engines, pumps, etc.
One of the greatest profits of the town
was the toll exacted at the gates. The
council wished to increase the income,
and instead of increasing the toll it
voted to double the* number of gates.
This same council also ordered the suit-"
dial to be taken from the courthouse'
common and placed under cover, where
rt would be protected from the weather.
But of ail ?he queer* things {hat are
lola of foilipeu and ils^^lej^^Dg
is so absurd as this: Grass grew oh tB&~
top of a very high tower, and the only
way these' drolr Dutchmen could think
of to get it off was to hoist a cow up*
and let her eat it.
The Palmetto Proving Useful.
Thc graceful palmetto, that grows so
profusely in the lower tiers of the
southern states, has recently become a
factor in the industries of the south',
for its wood is hard enough' ??* carve*
audits ?ber is* strbn^ enough to* irak?*
excellent cordage and a useful substi?
tute for sponges. In Jacksonville, Fla.,
a factory has been started for the pur*-"
pose of making brushes and brooms of
the fiber, and elsewhere sink brushes
are being maxie of the wood, half of
whose thickness is being converted into'
bristling points. The young leaves o?
the tree make a salad that the people
are beginning to appreciate, and the
taste of it fe likened to that of chest?
nuts. Bears knew ?bout it long before'
the people did, and it ia a favorite arti?
cle of diet among them - the black
bears climbing the trees and browsing
on the fresh shoots as eagerly as they
browse on watermelons.
The Stranger's Sheaf.
An old custom still prevails in the
western parts of France during the har- !
vest season. On the edge of a field bor?
dering the highway * sheaf of grain fe
left standing, i o' which all the peasants
of the viii aire contribute, a nd which is
called' "the stranger's sheaf,-" as it is
the property of the first tramp or other'
homeless wayfarer who may care to
carry it away and profit by its price.
HE HAD" TIGHT ?HQB&
Why Geii." Jim LcWla Did Not Rise at th?"
Troper Time.
Gen. Jim Lewis, as he is familiarly
called, is said by his friends to believe*
in the efficae}- of eccentric habits with
the fair sex, and many acts of a smile
provoking character are told of himv
His most recent act in this line, accord?
ing to the St. Louis Republic, occurred
a short time since at a diuncr party
given by a lady friend.
During thc course of the dinner the'
general,- so the story goes, was noticed
to lean over and reach down toward the
floor, first on one side, then on the
other. The movement was noted, but
was thought to bc only one of his pe?
culiarities. At the close of thc dinner, j
when the' ?adies' rose to retire and al-'
lbw thc gentlemen to solace themselves1
with an indulgence of good cigars,-th?*
general did not rise.
This action produced- an awkward*
pause, and mode the general thc ob?
served of all observers, noting which,
together with thc look of inquiry and
expectancy with which* ftc was re=
garded. he made prompt explanation tc
thc effect that his remaining seated
was due to'his shoes not being wholly*
on his feet.
He did not, however.- have Explain"
that their not being so was due to his
peculiar side movements at the table,
when he had-partially removed them to*
ease the pressure upon thc supernu?
merary excrescences on his pedal ap*
pondages for-the ladies had Hedi

The daj's of big tips arc said to be
