A Man Who Proves Himself
a Mao ?An Object Lesson.
Thia brief tint j deals with a man
- that individual that ia rarely met

He cum? into Columbia from the loe?

engineer tod had oome here to upend
Chrietmaa with hia sisters, two highly
eeteemed young; Indien who are earn
iog their living here When he
alighted from the train he bad a
raging headache and noticed eome,
"breaking out" oo hin hands lu
ate ad of booting op h?s relatives he
eooght a police officer, told him he
feared be waa being takeu with email
poi; that he did oot oare to endanger
aay other pereoo and aeked the
oavoer to eere for him. He wee
taken to ihe police barracke, bot be
would not eoter ; inetead he went
oot Into the yard away from ail othere
as I spent that bitter oold night
oeiopiog in the open air and drizsiiug
raio the night through Though lie
woo oiek be remained where he wee.
It wae four p m Chrietmaa day
when ooe of the board of health's
phyaioiaoe got to him and found
tbot he indeed had a oaee of
eoaeHpox Loet in admiration
fot aoeb a men the phyaician
boated bimeell in finding ehelter
for him A teat wee eecored and
tbte nature'* nobleman, whose ie
gard for hie fellow roau wae above
bio own suffering and riek, by dark
oooopied it on the canal A kerc
oooe etove wae placed in lt. bot it
woo oot eofflcient for such bitter
weather aod a coal stove waa eeut
oot. Tboa with a oorso ooly to at
tend to him, thia mao has spent hie
Chrietmaa, and thoae he wss coming*
to oee and all othere have been spared
the danger of contagion Hi* tent
boo been eheltered with boar *e and
ho ia now up agaio. He will soon be
oot The brotherhood, of which he
ie a member, and which should be
proud to have him for a member, has
aeen to it that he hae wanted for
oothing Tbo phyaician iu charge of

ration for the man that he has given
bim far more careful attention than h ?

If all who get the diaeaee would

Opening of Great Sewerage
and Ship Canal From
Cbtoago.
Chicago, Jan 2 ?The $33,000,000
canal at present used for sewerage
disposal, bot ultimately tu be a ship
esnsl also, is in use today after seven
years of bard work by tbe trustees of
tbe Sanitary District, which is the
name of a corporation including the
larger part of tbe city of Chicago and
many of its suburbs
What is called tbe collateral chan
nel bad been completed for some time
from a branch of tbe Chicago river in
tbe southwestern part of the city to
within 16 feet of tbe canal Monday
nip ht a big steam dredge begsn to
cot. away this wall of earth, bat the
work bad not been finished when the
Ssnitary District Trusteee arrived on
the scene this morning Shortly
before 9 a m. a small stream of water
wss flowing through the hole in tbe
15 foot wall. Soon tbe dredge had
cut away some more earth and more
water came over the dam What
had gone before trickled out on the
ice-covered bed of the main channel
and tbe great canal had been open
ed
The dredge continued foi hours to
cut away the 15-foot wail of earth
Finally the cut in the dam was dis
charging 30,000 cubic feet of water a
minute, and the dredge continued at
work all day, so as to make the dis
charge 50,000 cubic feet or more a
minute
About Wednesday at noon it is ex
p* cted to resch L"okport. and about
Friday, from the time the flow began,
according to the estimate of the chief
engineer, the canal will be full and
the water will begin to run over the
sills of the controlling gates at Lock
port, 28 miles fiom Chigago There
it will fall into the P<>spUins river
and then into Illinois and .Mississippi

The orime that invoked mob v< n

The victim of the wretch upon wboto

benefactress of ber assailant, having

he first appeared, begging for charity,
three weeks ago, after reaohiog here
penniless from Lynch burp, where bis
father U a polioeman Watts was 28
years old, unmarried, a professional
gambler and cornea of a respectable
family, with extensive relationship
throughout tho State.
Yesterday afternoon be visited tbe
bouao of Mrs. Thomas M Simpson,
who had befriended him when ho was
in destitute oirouroatanoes, telling the
lady he was about to leave tbo city and
staling that bo desired to thank her
before going way Watts had made a
stako at his calling during his aojoo'n
hero and Mrs Simpaoo failed to
recognise in the well dressed man tbe
miserable mendicant upon whom sbe
bestowed alms three weeks before.
Her interest in tho man being awaken

mir. u tea at the door. Wheo f!i ? retired
i to the hallway ho followed her, neized
her by tho throat, foroed her into the
sitting room and overpowered her after
a desperate struggle.
Watts was captured on board the

and instead of shipping tbo raw ma

several million dollars, making the
total additional oapital invented in

show that South Carolina is steadily

Our Ambassador's Queries
About Flour Seizure An?

London, Jan 3 ?The United States
ambassador, Joseph LI Choate, visit
ed the British premier Lord Salis
bury, at the foreign office, this even
ing for the purpose of making the
first official representing on the sub
ject of the Deiagoa Bay flour
seizures. Mr. Choste received no
definite' reply, as the premier inform
ed him that the British government
had not yet arrived at any decision
ss Io whether or not food stuffs were
contraband of war But Lord Salis
bury assured Mr. Choate that the
commercial rights of the United
States would be equitably considered
and that a decision Tn this important
matter would be reached as soon as
possible The interview was brief
The Associated Press learns that
Lord Salisbury has not only got the
attorney general, Sir Richard Web
ster, working hard on the question of
the Deisgoa Bay seizures, but that be
is consulting with the ablest lawyers
in Great Britain
It was further learned by a repre
sentative of the Associated Press
that Great Britain may lay down a
new regulation regarding contraband,
making a distinction between food
evidently intended for domestic pur?
poses and food probably intended for
field rations Under the latter head
might come certain classes of canned
goods

In Egypt thti custom is fur Princesses
to hide their beauty by covering
the lower part of the face with a veil.
In America the beauty of many of
our women is hidden because of the
weakness and
sickness pecu?
liar to the sex.
If the Egypt?
ian custom pre?
vailed in this
country, many
sufferers would
be glad to
cover theii
premature
wrinkles, their
sunkencheeks,
their unnealthy
complexion, from the eyes of the
world with the veil the Orient.
