EMBOBES TQRT?BE IN F?SHT WITH DEATH. - Consumptive Testing the Efficacy of Roentgen X-Rays As a Cure. A Riles Mich., Telegram to the Chicago Chronicle, says: At Big Rapids a young man is sub mitting himself to torture in undergo ing an experiment to test the efficacy of the Roentgen rays in the cure of consumption. The climate of Western States, the skill of specialists and everything known to science were tried in vain, whereupon the invalid went to Big Rapids and placed himself in the hands of an uncle, a well-known physician, who determined on heroic measures. The young man bravely submitted to the ordeal, and for some time has been treated by the X-ray process each day. The time of exposure has been lengthened till fifty minutes at one si tang has been reached. The theory is ihat if the Roentgen rays will kill diphtheria germs they will kill con sumption bacilli. For a time the patient suffered in tensely. His neck, chest month and jaws were burned so severely that big blisters showed the terrible effect of th rays. At one time his mouth was fairly closed, and only by inserting a piece of pipe could liquid food be ad ministered. The young mai. realizes th&t it is life of death, and willingly nadergoes the treatment. He now feels that the germs have been killed by the rays and that by and by he will be restored to health. He is able to wait on himself, which in itself is encouraging, and his physicians think there is possibly a new lease of life in istore for him. Status of 01! Barrel in Kentucky Laws. Noei Jonhnson in Catlettsburg Press.) * * A few years ago, ' * said a wealthy and; famous old Kentucky laweyr, there came to my town to locate for the practice of the law a young fellow who was certainly as fine a specimen of physical manhood as ? ever looked at He stood fully six feet two, and weighed not less than 200 pounds. He dressed ?ke a princo, moreover, and to see him walking along the street was; a treat to the eye. *4 People would look at this grand figure swinging along the street and would, figuratively speaking, begin to look for holes for mother lawyers to dodge into. "Bat the fellow's head was skull, through and through. His mind was three grains of wheat in a bushel of chaff. I never saw lead look so like ;goId before. He had not the first con ception or the first principies of legal procedure. Accordingly, he was an1 easy victim for the poorest lawyer at the bar. For some months, how ever, he continued, on account of his looks, to get cases. "He'd come to me with nearly every ease before trial, and I'd cheerfully advise him, but he could rarely util ize the advice. " One day he came to me in a great flutter. His client was accused of steal ing an oil barrel. W? iC 'Is he guilty?' I asked. " fear\he is, Judge.' * ? WeU, you go back and. defiantly announce ready for trial.: Let them prove all they will. Then you get up and move to dismiss the case on the ground that there is no law, statute or common, against stealing an oil bar rel. Criminal laws must be construed strictly, tell them, and you defy them t'-^how, specifically, where there is any law for stealing an oil barrel. ' "Well, he was the mo3t delighted man you ever saw/ He saw victory before him. He rubbed his hands together and pounded his knee. * ** 'Come up to the court house, Judge, and watch me knock 'em out, confound them. They have run over me long, enough. ' " I went up later, and as I entered the room my man had announced ready. I determined he should' win this ease, so I sat down in front of the Squire and nodded approval at everything the fellow said, f?e had a voice that would make Alpine thunder ashamed of itself, and when the prosecution had finished he arose in confident majeety. " move to dismiss, your honor,' he said, with a smile that made the County Attorney fear he had some legal dirks up his sleeve. " On what ground asked the County Attorney, his eyes wide. " 'On the ground,' he roared in a voice that unloosened some lose plaster ia the coiner, 'on the ground, your honor,'smashing the table with his Sullivan fist, 'on the single ground that; there is no law, statute or com mon, civil or criminal, human or divine, I say there's no law, I tell you, against an oil barrel I I defy you to show it I' "The lightning had fallen. The mar, looking as majestic as Daniel Webster possibly could, turned to me. I qtiietly nodded and the squire noted it The great orator folded his arms and threw back his shoulders. His mostrile trembled in defiance. His ye flashed the lightning of Jove. "The orator then added, with osten tatious superfluity: 'The criminal statutes must be strictly construed. Now, please, oh! please, Mr. County Attorney, trot out your law against stealing an oil barrel!' "The dumbfounded County Attor ney?a fine lawyer?essayed t reply. It was no use. The court scowled him down. " 'Don't take up the precious time ofthecoht,' he said.

HEBREW POPULATION OF NEW YORK. In Manhattan Alone Every Fourth Man Or Woman Is lev; Or Jewess. New York, Aug. 18.?According to statistics based on the number of Jew ish burials recorded by the Board of Health and. compiled by the Jewish World, the Hebrew population of New York City is estimated at 584,788. In Manhattan alone every fourth man or woman is ? Jew or Jewess. The Jewish burials amounted in 1901 to 7,997. and as the death rate in the most congested Jewish district is little over 15 per thousand, this implies a population of 533,133 in the middle of I90L Since that time no less than 39,225 Jews have arrived at New York and stayed here, while by natural increase of births over deaths 12,400 would be added up, to August 1 of this year, making a grand total of 584,788. The number of Jewish marriages in -Manhattan alone in 1901 was 5,062, which at* very high marriage rate of 10 per thousand would imply a popula tion of 506,200, to which have to be added the .70, 00 Jews of Brooklyn ani the increase by immigration and excess of births,? as before. The Primary Vote. There has-been some talk on the part fo the people of Spartanburg that that county will poll 9,000 votes this year, but this is hardly probable. In order that those interested may have some guide in speculating upon the issue of next Tuesday's primary, The State has prepared the following table showing the total vote for governor in each county in the first orimary of 1900, the total for the Staie'being 92,430: Abbeville 2,202; Aiken 3,151; An derson 4,211; Bamberg 1,217; Barn well 2,106; Beaufort 587; Berkeley 1,112 ;.

It Satisfied Lincoln. Among Lincoln's callers one morning in 1SG2 was a stranger* seeking both personal -and official assistance from the president and who brought with him some-letters lauding his loyalty that bore the signature of a former .governor of Maryland. Lincoln received the stranger with some warmth that was not chilled even when one of the attaches; who had overheard the con versation, * interrupted to explain that the signa tuse must have been forged, for the reason that the. Marylander mentioned had been dead several years. The stranger showed guilt in every fea ture, but Lincoln, suffused with that pity for the luckless that was ever his. cheerily observed: . "Oh, never mind that?never mind it! This is far more interesting. I would rather get a letter from a dead man than from a live one any day!"?Phila delphia Times. / Royal Bad Lansraagre. The Pall Mall Gazette says it still remains a mystery how the chief Eng lish authorities in church and state ever succeeded in crowning King George I. Having come fresh from his native Hanover, the first monarch of the Brunswick dynasty was to his new subjects little better than a Melanesian from the south seas. Not a word of English could he muster, while the chief oScials were almost equally ig norant of German. - Latin, therefore, had to be resorted to as being the one possible medium of communication be tween them. A highly popular joke originated from these singular pro ceedings. r which stated that an im mense arnount of bad language had passed between the king and his min isters on the great day. The Sense of Tonch. The sense of touch in man is most highly developed on the skin, but mu cous or serous surfaces are also ca pable of conveying impressions. Some parts of*, the body are more sensitive than others and are usually devoid of hairs, as the tip of the tongue, the ends of the fingers and the lips. It will be noticed that these are so situ ated as to keep us conveniently in formed of what is going on around us. ?Chambers' Journal. The Inevitable Hermit.

Skagway advices say the question of the de struction of an old Russian monument in * the disputed territory between Alaska and British Yukon has been settled. S. Weitzman, a merchant of Hines, arrived from Skagway with the news that Lieut. Owens found two monuments in perfect repair, and defi nitely located the place where a third one had been destroyed. One of the monuments discovered is about ten miles above Rainy Hollow. The other is on the Tahkeena river, fifty miles from the coast. The third monument had been destroyed within a few months. Owens also found an old storm house on the summit. This was call ed the boundary house when the Rus sians occupied the country. This es tablishes beyond all doubt that the Rusisans did occupy th e territory now disputed, and that the boundary line, according to the treaty, is where the Americans maintain it to be. ONCE AGAIN. The colossal effrontery of Jim Till man and the deceptions he Dnictices to fool the people are amazing. At Conway he asked to be heard first of the gubernatorial candidates on the ground that he had received a telegram announcing the serious illness of his sister and that he wanted to catch the first train going out. He let; and went to Spartanburg, where his sister resides, and a telegram from there an nounced that his sister was in perfect health and had not been sick and he missed two or three campaign meet ings ostensibly to see a sick sister, but really to look after the mill vote in the factories. He had & perfect right to leave the campaign party and go elsewhere to look after votes, but he had no right to lie* about it. Idars ought to be able to cover up their tracks if they hope to avoid detection. This man seems to live and breathe in an atmosphere of falsehood. His whole life and being seems to be an animated falsehood and he is the first! Instance in the history of the Sitate where a man of his notoriously bad and unsavory reputation has ever offered himself to the people as a can- j di date for governor, always excepting, of course, the reconstruction period, and his candidacy ranks alongside of that of Scott and Moses, except that they did not offer themselves .to the decent white people. *He is the one candidate in the race about whose character nothing good is ever said. Not even his home papers have ever said a good word for him, while no paper in the State has ever said a harmful word about any of the other candidates for governor. ? They are all gentlemen of unblemished character. And because the newspapers are ex posing the vile character of this man there are those who are ready to say that he is being persecuted and he himself has raised that cry. A good and virtuous man might be persecuted but a vile and wicked man, never. And men who raise the cry are deaf | to the appeals to reason and mean to vote for him regardless of his charac ter. No attempt is made to disprove j a single charge made against him, and he himself does not atttempt to be cause it can't be done. The shame lessness of the man is shown by his attempting to make himself the bene ficiary of his Uncle Ben's popularity, when it is a fact well known to all who have been mixed up in the politi- ; cal affairs of this State for the last ten years that he was very bitter against his Uncle Ben and the reform move-1 ment on account of the defeat of. bis | wortfiy father, the late George D. Tiilman, the honored sire of a dishon ored son. He is a proven liar, defaul ter, gambler and drunkard, a charac ter that has never before essayed to offer himself for the chief executive of a proud commonwealth. A man who has not accounted for the money entrusted to him to build a Confede rate monument, though repeatedly called upon to do so, should not be en trusted with the expenditure of the thousands of dollars that the governor controls in the contingent fund. Let every voter reflect when he comes to vote that to vote for a man notorious ly bad and unworthy makes the voter | to that extent like him.?Anderson Mail. A SOLEMN QUESTION. One of the Pranks Art emus Ward Played Upon His Brother. In the days when Cyrus Browne, and his brother, Charles Farrar Browne, better known as "Artemus Ward,'' lived in Waterford, "the little Maine village that nestled among the hills and never did anything else but nestle." Charles delighted to play prac tical jokes on Cyrus. Charles came home one freezing night, says the nar rator of the following prank in the Boston Herald, at an hour that would be thought early in a metropolis, b?t was not so considered in Watcrforc. The family were sleeping soundly in the wann comfort of their beds when the future showman halted under thti window of Cyrus, and raised an alarm. "Cy: Oh. Cy! Come out here. Cy!" After a time Cyrus appeared at the window. "What do you want?" he demanded through the crack he had opened. "I wAv.t you to come down!"' with grrai earnestness. "I want to ask you a question, Cy." uGh, go 'way!" said Cyrus, his teeth chattering in the awful cold. "It's only one of your jokes." "Really, Cy. i?'s a very important questioni" persisted Charles with in creased earnestness. "It's a solemn thing, and I v.-;:ut you to come down. Cy; I ' you had." Finally, after grumbling and expos tulating. Cyrus slipped on some clothes end came reluctantly downstairs and cut into the arctic cold. "Now what the world is it that you want?" he asked. Charles came up close, laid his hands on his brother's shivering shoulders, and i:i tL;:t voice of plaintive solemnity which in after years moved so many people to mirth said: "I -vaut to ari: you. Cy, if you think slavery is wrong?. VOLCANOES. Some Facts About Thene Vente to the Earth's Interior Fire. Eons ago the earth on which we live was a huge mass of "tire mist." Astronomers tell us that today in the heavens we can see vast nebuke, sug gesting what the earth was once. Gradually the surface of the "fire mist'* cooled and hardened, but the in terior is stili intensely hot. Whether it is solid, liquid or viscous we do not know. This heat, raging miles below the surface, at times escapes through the hard crust by vents or volcanoes. There are from 300 to 300 volcanoes on the globe. This estimate includes merely live volcanoes which within re cent times have been in action. If we should count the many mountains scat tered over the earth which show today signs. of volcanic action in more re mote past, the estimate would have to be increased by many hundreds. Volcanoes would seem to be arranged with more or less symmetry in belts circling the great oceans. A ring of fire surrounds the Pacific. Starting at the South Shetland islands, several hundred miles south of Cape Horn, a belt of volcanoes extends up the west coast of South America, Central Amer ica and North America; from Alaska it crosses the Pacific along the Aleutian islands to Kamchatka; thence it fol lows the east edge of the Pacific through the Kurile islands, Japan, For mosa, the Philippines, the Moluccas, the Solomon islands, the North Heb rides, New Zealand and finally ends in Mounts Terror and Erebus, on the Antarctic continent.?Geographic Magazine. WHAT WISDOM DENIED VS. The Most Fatal Gift That Conld Be Conferred on Mankind. Granted the power to do it, which would be the most fatal gift that could be conferred on mankind? Omnipotence without omniscience. An omnipotent man, with the best of intentions toward his kind, could eas ily wreck the universe and probably would, since, unless he knew every thing, he would infallibly make some mistake which could not fail to have very terrible consequences. Next to this would be the power of foreseeing events. This would eliminate the great est factor in human happiness, because the man who could foresee everything would have no hope. He would not only know his own fate, but that of all other human beings and also all their feelings and intentions, which, of itself alone, would make society impossible. Equally terrible would be the'power of prolonging life at will, since no man or woman would willingly die so long as life remained even tolerable. This is proved by the shocking conditions under which people now consent to live. The race would probably con tinue to multiply indefinitely until all the habitable portions of the globe be came overcrowded. Then would com mence a struggle for existence which no human imagination could portray. War would be an impossibility, since no man could kill another who did not wish to die, and humanity would reach some inconceivable climax of misery from which nothing but the interven tion of a higher power could possibly release it?Pearson's Weekly. INDIAN AND BUFFALO. How the Latter Tnrned Hunter and Chased the Red Han. A retired officer of the Northwest mounted police who took part in a Mis souri buffalo run forty years ago de scribes the impression at the time as of an earthquake. The galloping horses, the rocking mass of fleeing buf falo, the rumbling and quaking of the ground under the thunderous pound ing, were all like a violent earthquake. The same gentleman tells how he once saw a wounded buffalo turn on an In dian hunter. The man's horse took fright. Instead of darting sideways to give him a chance to send a last finish ing shot home the horse became wildly unmanageable and fled. The buffalo pursued. Off they rushed, rider and buffalo, the Indian craning over his horse's neck.- the horse blown and fagged and unable to gain one pace ahead of the buffalo, the great angry beast covered with foam, with eyes like fire, pounding and pounding, closer and closer to the horse till rider and buffalo disappeared over the horizon. "To this day I have wondered what became of that Indian," said the offi cer, "for the horse was losing and the buffalo gaining when they went behind the bluff." This incident illustrates a trait seldom found in wild animals, a persistent vindiciiveness.?A. C. Laut in Outing. The Sunday Horse. A correspondent writing from Ger many says one sees there many wagons designed for two horses, but drawn by but one. It gives the vehicle the appearance of being cut on the bias. "I inquired once why they did not have two horses, or else use shafts, and was charmed to learn that as keep ing two horses was naturally more ex pensive people generally drove but one during the week and rented an other horse on Sunday, when the en tire family could drive out in style. It was a touching thought to keep the Sunday horse's place for him all week, but reminded one sadiy of the vacant chair." About Waitfnj?. The old proverb that all things come to him who waits advances a very pret ty and pleasant theory, but its literal interpretation makes it capable of great misconstruction, for if it is in one sense true its reverse is equally true. Nothing comes to him who waits. Nothing conies to him who waits and does no more. There is nothing In the world that is of any value that has not to be struggled for, and those who sit down and fold their hands, expecting fate and fortune to bring them what they most desire, will meet w'?li/?ke disappointment they dest-rve. a Wofford College, SPARTANBURG, - S.
