The house was a total loss, bot the fire department did good work in preventing the spread of the Sames to buildings in close proximity and thereby saved a large amount of property from destruction. When the cry of fire was heard on' Main Street and. the bell ia the Opera Bouse tower began to ring - the alarm, tbe large audienee. present at the Reformation performance was alarmed for a few miniates and there- was considerable ex? citement.

Tbe hundreds of Father Monaghan's friends ia Charleston and elsewhere will rejoice to know of bis appointment to a Bishopric by tbe Pope, but tbey will sincerely regret that be will have to leave Charleston. Since bis stay here he has made a ho?! of warm friends, and he will carry with him in his new field ^of labor the best wishes of all for bis Tutore life and success. Father Jobo J. Monaghan was born at Sumter, S. C., May 23, 1853, and is there? fore, in his 41st year.

At tbe age of 16 he entered St. Charles Col? lege, Ellieott City, Maryland, and after four y ear s began bis theological studies at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore. Father Monaghan received all his orders at the hands of Cardinal Gibbons while at? tending the seminary, with the exception of the priesthood, to which be was raised by tbe late Rt Rev. P. N. Ly'ocb, in the Pro-Cathe? dra!, in Charleston, December 19, 1880. After filling the position of aesistaot pas? tor at St. Joseph's and St. Patrick's church? es he was appointed rector of tbe Greenville mission, which embraced nioe counties ia tbe northwestern part of this State. Here he labored successfully for fire years, during which time he erected tbs handsome Catholic church at Spartanbarg. Be also constructed tbe handsome Gothic church at Abbeville, S. C., remodelled and removed the Green ville church to its present location on Washiog toa street, almost io tbe centre of the city, and built tbs adjoining rectory, . which still serves as the residence of the priests oo tbe Greenville missions Daring this time Father Monaghan was seat by Bishop Nor? throp oa several collecting tours through the North io th? interest of tbe diocese, and met with great success, especially ia Balti? more and Boston, j In 1887 Bishop Northrop recalled Father Monaghan to Charleston to be pro rector of the Cathedral and chancellor of the - diocese. During the past tine years be has been associated with Mgre D. J. Qaigley in the administration of St. Patrick's Parish, which is recognized as the largest aod most labor iocs field of labor ia the diocese. He is secretary of tbe Bien op's coo oeil and a mem ? ber of the board of the examioers of the clergy and of teachers cf the schools, and is also Procurator Fiscalis of the diocese. .

A PRETTY MARRIAGE. An Account of the Marriage of the Rev. G. T. Gresham and Miss Mabelle Beckham, At BethefCburcb yesterday afternoon, as the wedding march (nicely played by Mis3 Hattie Wbilden) floated softly on the air, a bridle couple passed up the aisle-it was the Rev. G. T. Gresham and Miss Mabelle Beck bam. When^bey reached the space in front cf the' pulpit, thpy stood sideways to the congregation and Dr. C. C. Brown impres? sively united them in the holy bonds of mar? riage. The responses of the bride and groom were clearly and distinctly made. After the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Gresham repaired to the parsonage, waare a pleasant reception was held. The marriage was an unusually pretty one and we don't suppose io all the his'ory of Privateer have as many people assembled to witness a marriage among her white people as were present yesterday. The church was Siled with people from this community and other sections, and in the gallery were a number of colored people. The pulpit was nicely decorated for the occasion. The ushers were Messrs .. Hey ward Ramsey and Whildea Nettles, two of Priva? teer's young mea and1 cousins of the brida. Every tbiog passed off pleasantly, and the large crowd being present testified strooger than language could have done, the warm interest our community took io the marriage. Many useful, as well as oroamental presents, were carried to the parsonage by the friends of tbe contracting parties and we don't ^op? pose that it is often a marriage is attended by more good wishes than this one was. Mr. Gresham is not only the esteemed and useful pastor of Bethel and other churches, but he also stands high in th? Baptist councils of the State having been for three time3 the secretary of the Baptist State Oonveotion , which position he now holds. Miss Mabelle ia not only known and liked io Privateer, but also in other sections. The interesting fact may be mentioned here that she is descen? ded from Mr. Jesse Nettles, who was a prom? inent figure in this section during the first part of this century and was deacon at Bethel when be died in 1825 ; Miss Mabelle is the fourth one of bis descendants who has mar? ried a pastor of Bethel. McDonald Furman. Privateer Towoship, Feb. ll, 1897. A 'New Law Wanted. Ionia, S. C., Feb. 15.-We have notbiog of interest up this way. Farmers are doing what tbey can towards another crop, but so much grippe-hardly a family bas escaped. It would be useless for me to undertake to meotion ail that are sick, and have been. But Mrs. Martha Lee, an old lady, and Mr. Charlie McLeod are very sick. Mr. L. A. White ?-?.sick, also, but not dangerously ill. Mr. Editor, it seems to me that our legis? lators overlook some things that would be well for them to consider ; for instance, take the case of theft: what benefit is it to the party that is robbed to convict the guilty party ? The State gats all his labor and the mao that couvicts bim gets notbiog for ail his time and trouble attending court, besides what has beeo takeo from him. Now I think that that law should be amended ; the State should pay so much a mooth until the man who bad been robbed was paid whatever he bad lost, let it be money or aoything else. The court could value his property and re? quire the State to pay it. I don't mean that the State should loose anything ; but the convict should be sentenced long enough to pay the State's expenses also. And another thing that is not altogether right : that is in regard to land renters. I am not interested either way ; but the way the law stands, the landlord gets his rents fir3t of all. The mer? chant who is a co-equal partner in the farra bas to wait, if the landlord says so, until all rents are paid before beean come in for anr of his. . While he should come in with the 6r8t and divide, because without supplies, &c, the Ian? would be of co use to the ten? ant. I believe in fair dealings with all man? kind.

At the present time, how few wear their spectacles for a continued period. Every few months, changes are made, until at last the picht becomes so defective the wearer of glasses is unable to see *o read at all without spectacles. This should not be the case. Where ey es are affected from natural causes alone/and glasses of a superior character are fitted in frames fruited to the face, and the adjustment of the lenses is perfect, annulling, no tr ore aod no less than the exact defect, the sight ig preserved intact until nature makes another inroad upon the vision ; bot bow many ill-fitting frames are noticeable opon the faces of spectacle wearers, and does it not naturally follow that in such an event lenses become decentered ? He. who ts a stickler for a perfect-fitting garment, bat or gloves will have an abomina? bly fitting pair of spectacles straddling bis nose. A fashionably gowned woman, other? wise becomingly attired, becomes conspicuous by a c:azv-6tting pair of spectacles or eye glasses adjusted, owl-like, over a beautifully shaped nose Observing this, can you accept cheap lenses, unsuited to the eyes ? It is wonderful the carelessness persons will prac? tice with respect to so important a subject. Look in the mirror and discover whether or oot the pupils of the eyes come in direct line with the glasses in your spectacle frances. Just stop to consider that your reading spectacles should fit well down over the nose, almost on to the cheek, so tbit you get the greatest angle over the top cf the frames, least underneath, and direct vision through the centers of the lenses ; then examine your distant spectacles, the frame of which should fit properly up on to the nose, close up to the eyes, so that the pupils of the fyes strike the exact centers of the glasses. If you are Pres? byopie or hyperm?tropie, in other words, "far sighted"-or "old 6?2hied," as com? monly used-do not use ore pair of glasses for your near and your far point, if both are defective. Neither do so if you are myooic or near-sighted. In such mstsoees, one pair of glasses will not answer for all purpose?, the si~ht having its proximum (near) and re oolum (far) point of V?S?OD, and while na? ture provides a mechanism and self-adjastable media in the eye for these two points, so no one set of glasses can do it. Hold your glasses np before your eye3 and the light ; they ought to be, if perfect, as diaphanous as the atmosphere. Next, try your eves sepa? rately, with and without your glasses, and see bow well you can read. How many use spectacles and do not see perfectly, yet imagine they do. Now, if your frames set awry on your face, they do not suit. No haphazard work in tbe glasses or spectacle frames should be tolerated. Each case is a separate study by itself, each and every frame should be made, fitted and suited to each individual face, using no cheap work of aoy kind. Everthiog should be of tbe wost perfect material science and art can produce or workmanship make. There should be thorough and exhaustive examina? tion with no speculative, machine or ped? dler's work. Optics ?9 mechanical, and mathematical, to wbicb ?should be added a knowledge of anatomy and physiology and years of study, and a continued and large practice, to become thoroughly expert in the scientific adjustment of glasses. I have devoted my whole life and thought to the study of the haman eye, to the cor? rect of ita faults, the staying of its fail? ing, the preservation of its usefulness. The doctors all over, the country who have sent me patients, and tbe patients to whom I have given comfort, sight, hope and life are the evidences on which I rely to prove my knowl? edge and success. Consultation with me costs nothing. My time and knowledge of science are at tbe ser? vice of those who need them.

New York, February 10- The Bradley-Martin fancy drees ball took place this eveuing in the spacious ball room of the Waldorf Hotel. The raise en scene was of bewild? ering enchantment, a vertiable fairy land, resplendent with all that wealth and taste could command, and graced by the presence of many huudred members of the fashionable set, radiant in rich robes of historic re? nown ( The richness of the decorations, the ancient picturesque costumes, the beautiful allegorical toilettes, the commingling of so many beauties, old and young, amazed and charmed ail fortunate enough to have been bid? den to the ball. ?s a superb social function it ha? had no parallel in America Iis fame may pass into history, and per? haps, its splendors will be writ down as the standard for the belles and gallants of the coming century The 6cene" presented was a strange spectacle in this up to date metro polis. At the first coup d'oeii one would have imagined the graves had opened, and the kings and queens, the princesses and titled aristocracy of the decayed centuries had . arisen in chorus to again become themselves in all their old time glory. Perhaps there were TOO guests present, all gorgeously garbed in 8ilks.and satins and magnificently bedecked in diamonds. Almost every character in the times of Louis XIV and XV, from plebeian peasant to the jewel crown ed king-and queen was personated They presented imposing figures, dancing in the stately minuet or whirling the merry waltz Numer? ous were the pseudo Marie Antoin? ettes, Queen Elizabeths, Lady Teas les, Gisraondas, Juliets, Joan D'Arcs, Enapress Josephines, Mary Queen of Scots, Colonial Dames, Knights of Malta, Cardinals, Romeos, toreadors and cavaliers, all presented in cos? tumes of the costliest fabrics, and with marvellous truth to detail. The Mare Antoinette ladies pre? dominated. America's historical notables seemed, badly neglected, even the father of his county, George Washington, being honored by only two representatives Aside from the beauty of the cos? tumes interest centred in the un? precedented display of jewels, many rare, old, priceless family heirlooms being worn. There is no estimating their monetary worth, but they cer? tainly represented vast fortunes Many of the women seemed ablaze with the sparkling gems. The guests began arriving about ll o'clock. They entered the hotel through a private door on 33d street, and were immediately ushered to the second floor, where a suite of fifteen large apartments had been reserved for dressing purposes. Here were sta? tioned .numerous hair dressers, cos? tumers, modistes and all functionaries required for the final polishing touch? es of the exquisite outfits. These rooms were decorated with a profu? sion of roses and smilax. After the guests had assembled and made ready for the grand entree they descended the flower-strewn stair? way to the reception parlor, on the main floor. As they passed through the archway they were met by the hostess. Mrs Bradley-Maitin, who stood beneath a canopy of rich tap? estries and floral effects. Mrs. Mar tin wore a becoming costume of the Queen Elizabeth period, made of black velvet over red brocade. She was adorned with all her magnificent jewels, including, her famous robe of diamonds. As the guests approached, their Barnes and their characters imperso? nated were announced by lackeys. The walls of the reception room were covered with costly tapestries of the daintiest colors, while myriads of roses, carelessly thrown, rested in the folds as they chanced to fall. In one corner was placed the Hungarian Band, hidden behind a bower of long stemmed rosee. The guests moved from this saloon to the big ball room through the corridors, which ha?l been made to represent a woodland, lighted by scores of concealed miniature elec? tric lights. The decoration of the ball room was also a work of art and the illumination brilliant. At the end of the roora wac a balcony hand? somely adorned, in which was sta lioned Victor Herbert's Orchestra for the dance music. It was near mid night before the quadrille d'honneur, the opening number of the ball, was danced, lt had been organized by Mrs. Astor. John Jacob Astor was the king of to night and Mrs Brad ! ley-Martin the queen. The;* led the ' quadrille, and at one side were Mrs. i Stuyvesant Fish and Mrs Robert ! Van Cortlant ; at the opposite end j Miss Gerry and J. Townsed Martin j and Mrs Whitney Warren and Mr. ? Lispenard Stewart The opposite side couples, Mrs. Orme Wilson and Harry Lehr, Mrs. Lee Tailer and Mr. Craig Wadsworth, Mies Lena Morton and Mr. Ceuter Hitchcock, and Miss Madeline Cutting: and Mr. J. J. Van Alen Following this came the Mrs. Ed? mund J. Bailie's quadrille, which was participated in by Mrs. Ogden Mills, Mrs John Jacob Astor, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., Mrs Henry Sloan, Miss Edith Morton. Miss Van Re88aellar, Miss Alfonso De Navaro, H D Robbins, Worthington White? house and others Then came the debutante quadrille, all the dancers wearing costumes of the Louis Quinze epoch. The quad? rille was danced to the slow music of the minuet, and the different figures were executed with grace and pre cisi?n. General danc;ng was then indulged in Supper was served in the Empire dining room. The tables were prettily decorated with roses The cotillion after supper was led by Mr. Elisha Dyer, Jr , who wore a costume of the period of Francis I. It consisted of a cloak of royal pur? ple velvet, a coat of the same mate? rial and richly decorated with gold embroidery The tights were of violet silk, and he wore a hat with large ostrich feathers. The gray streaks of dawn were struggling through the windows of the Waldorf before the last echo of "Home, Sweet Home," had died in the floral-scented room, and the greatest ball in Gotham's history was ended There were many guests from out of town, small parties coming from San Francisco, Chicago, New Or? leans, Washington, BostOD, Phila? delphia and Baltimore. It Was an off Day. War Ships Found It Un? pleasant Rolling. Charleston, Feb 12.-The battle ship Indiana and the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius arrived ort Charleston bar last night. Contrary to all excepta tions the cruiser made no effort at all. to come into the harbor or to run the blockade. She came to anchor near the other ships of the squadron and is still lying there. The indiana had an uneventful trip down the coast. The Newark and Massachusetts Are j hourly expected to join the fleet It is now believed that the actual at? tempt to run the blockade will be postponed until all of the fleet are here, although HO official information whatever on this subject is obtain? able. It was so rough and foggy outside last night that little work could be done by the slips and so strong a sea is running off the bar that the gun practice of the fleet is being materially interfered with. This afternoom the cruiser Marble head came up to the city and an? chored off the battery. Shebas re ceived orders to proceed to Jackson? ville Monday, and it is understood that she will go from thor? to Mobile in a few days Little or nothing was done by the warships during the day The Vesuvs was anchored near the rest of the vessels and give, no inti? mation of an attempt to run the blockade. The dyuamite cruiser, in fact, was apparently having an un? comfortable time of it in the heavy sea that was running. She was rol? ling and plunging about in a manner that rendered a footing on her deck insecure to landsmen. The Amphi trite was coaled during the day, but she will not rejoin the fleet until to? morrow. The State in tue Book Busi? ness. The book bill introduced by Repre? sentative Johoson, of tfiis county, seeks a praiseworthy end by indefensible methods. The State bas no business going io to merchandising, even for so praiseworthy an object as to save money for the people. If the State buys and' sells books to save money for the peo? ple, why not go into the oil business to break the oil trust, the sugar aod coffee business ? Why not allow the State to buy farm implemennts, horses and mules, and, in fact, all necessities? Why not turn the whole thing over to the State and have good old paternalis? tic government? For the State to go into the book business to save money for book-buyers is no better than for the State to go ioto tho whis? key business to make money. It is as bad, aod that is sayiog a great deal. The law 00 the subject of school books, allowing 20 per ceot. to dealers, is good enough. What is needed is to enforce it.-Spartanburg Herald.

She sat by the car window, gazing ont npon the unrolling scenery and pos? sibly dreaming of home and things like that. About six feet away frc-m her, across lue aisle, was an empty seat, which at the next station was filled by a man with a sample case. He was 50 years of age or thereabout and was quite as dap? per looking as if he were 30 and still the knight to please every fair dame who set her soft eyes upon him. The lady was young and pretty, wit perhaps a shade too much display in h makeup, but still one could hardly sa that, for all is not gold that glitters i such cases-or words to that effect. When the man had sat down in the vacant seat and composed himself for the journey before him, he began to look about to familiarize himself with his environments, and in the course of his visual wanderings his eyes fell upon the young lady. He gave a slight start, as people do when they think they see somebody they know, and looked again. The lady wasn't looking, of course. But she wasn't asleep. Not in the slightest. After a minute or two or three or four of hesitating investigation the trav? eling man, for it was he, arose and very politely and deferentially approached the young lady. It was done as if he had been practic? ing that sort of thing ever since he had picked up the first sample .case. Either that or he was to the mann?Vborn. "I beg your pardon,1' he said as she turned from the window to meet him with a half startled, fawnlike move? ment not altogether unusual on such occasions, "aren't you Miss Morton of Philadelphia?" She gave him a glassy stare with a raw edge on it. "Y.ou don't look like a man," she re? plied with an insolent air, "who would try to work as old a racket as that on me. Do I look so green as that:'****" It was now his turn to gaze at he: startled wonder. "Oh, that's all right," she lau moving over io make room besid "and I'll forgive you. You know not Miss Morton of Philadelphia or where else, and so do I know itt But sit down. I'm lonesome, and I'd justas econ have a pleasant little talk with you as npt. I'm to meet mamma at the sta? tion where we tako dinner." "I beg your pardon,"said the travel? ing man, backing away. "I ara sure if you are not Miss Morton I have no de? sire whatever to talk with you." Then he went back to his place, and the flip young woman- was rather in? clined to the opinion that there was at least one man on the road who could be mistaken honestly. All of which occurred between Wash? ington and New York within the last two weeks.-Washington Star. Mailing Candy Abroad. A young man who apparently knows a girl in London came into the office the other day and asked whether candy could be sent abroad through the mails. So he was taken over to the postoffice and the state of affairs was laid before an official, who instigated an investiga? tion. After a long time he returned and reported as follows : "I am very glad," said he, "that you asked that question. Its answer shows a curious state of affairs. In this coun? try you can send candy up to 4 pounds as merchandise for 1 cent fer e.acb^. ounce. If you want to send candy abroad you only have to pay 1 cent for every 2 ounces," but you can only send 12 ounces in each package. If it weighs more than 12 ounces you have to pay letter rates, or 10 cents an ounce for the whole thing. "That is to say, you can send 10 ounces to London for 5 cents, but it would cost you 10 cents to send it to Brooklyn. So if you are thinking of sending a pound it will cost you ?1.60. The stamp department is right over there." "Thank you very much," said the young man.
