Penitentiary Directors
The Board of Directors of the Peni
tentiary held a regular monthly meet
ing yesterday. Governor Evaas as an
exoffioio member was present A
member stated later that the
meeting was confined to regular,
monthly routine matters and that the
report would not be considered until
the uevfc. meetiog io January. It is
understood that the matter of com
plaices about convicts committing de
predations in Spartanburg County,
which have been ventilated in the
papers in that oouoty, came up, but
Colonel Neal had already remedied
what trouble there had been ?Colum

A Girl'? Terrible Act.
San Francisco, Deo. 1L?Mrs
Sarah B. Cooper, famed throughout
the entire United States because of her
untiring zeal in works of charity, and
her daughter, Miss Hattie Cooper,
were found dead in bed at the Cooper
residence, 1902 Valejo street, this
morning, both having been asphyxi
ated by gas. All evidence .tends to
show that Miss Cooper, who suffered
from acute melancholia, arose after her
mother had fallen ssleep, and with* sui
cidal intent turned on the gas. Wheo
discovered, both bodies were rigid,
death having occurred sever*al hours
before. The news of the tragedy,
which ?oread rapidly, caused one of the
greatest sensations that San Francisco
has ever experienced.
The sensation was the greater be
cause of the announcemaot by the
Cooper's family physician that Miss
Cooper bad made two unsuccessful pre
vious attempts to end the lives of her
self and her mother in the same way.
Notwithstanding the danger to'which
she was constantly subjeoted, the heroic
mother refused to be separated ?rom
ber daughter, remaining by her side .
every hour for days and weeks at a
time. She made her will in expecta
tion of the fate that befell her.
Mrs. Cooper was a cousin of Col.
Bob Ingersoll. She was a native of
New York, but married H. F. Cooper,
of Chattanooga, publisher of the Chat
tanooga Advertiser, many years ago.
The family moved to San Franoisco in
1869 and there Mr. Cooper committed
euicide eleven years ago. This fact
and the knowledge that several mem
bers of her father's family had taken
their own lives, unbalanced the daugh
ter's mind.
HOKE SMITH'S HUG.
Wins His Suit in a Kissing
Case by It.
Atlanta,' Deo. 11 ?Ex Secretary
Hoke Smith appeared in Magistrate
Foute's court to-day as counsel for
Mrs M. L. Hecson, who was
charged by Dr. F. T. Powell with
robbing bim of his pocketbook. The
doctor states that Mrs Hensou had
visited his office to get a prescrip
tion. As she was leaving, he asked
her if she would not kiss him. He
declared that she did kiss him and at
the same time picked his pockets,
getting a purse containing $45. The
defendant denied the statement and
declared that she ran out of the office
when the doctor became amorous.
Mr. Smith invited the doctor, who
weighs 225 pounds, to hug him and
show the justice how the woman
picked his pockets. The doctor ac
cepted the invitation, threw his
arms around the ex secretary and
the hugged each other tightly, but
he could not reach Mr. Smith's hip
pocket, for he is stout too. Nor
could Mr. Smith reach the doctor's
gun pocket and the magistrate de
cided that it was impossible for Mrs.
Henson to have robbed the physi
cian even if she had hugged him,
and dismissed her.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.
At this time of the year a cold is very eas
ily contracted, and if left to run its cours?
without the aid of some reliable cough medi
cine is liable to result in that dread disease,
pneumonia. We know of t-o better remedy
to cure a cough cr cold than Chamberlain';*
Cough?Remedy. We have used it quite ex
tensively and it has always given entire satis
faction ?Olagab, lud. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known to
be a certain preventive of pneumonia.
Among the mauy thousands who bave used
it for colds and la grippe, we have never yet
learned of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia. Persons who have weak lungs
or have reason to fear an attack of pneumo
nia, should keep the remedy at hand. The

Not Pleasing to Spain.
Madrid, Dec. S ?The message o?
President Cleveland to congress where
in he treats of the Cu bao question, has
created a bad impression in political
circles aod depressed the bourse.
In government circles great reservs
is maintained, oooe of the official* dis
playing any willingness to discuss the
subject at aoy length, some satisfaction
is expressed that the message does not
to any way advocate the absolu?e inde
pendence of Cuba and does not support
the proposal to recogoiz-i the insurgent
as belligsrc-Dts.
The opposition papers are greatly
irritated by the threac of intervention
oo the part or the United States' unless
Spain speedly suppresses the rebillion.
They declare that; ?pain is fully ab!e to
avert such action.
