" STORIES OF THE DAY.
Dismal Was Converted, but He Couldn’t
Help Pummeling Tibsey.
Dismal was converted recently. Dis
mal np to a short time ago was well
known to a rather limited circle of ac
quaintance. He was an office boy in one
of the big offices on Newspaper row. He
had never been credited with being a
very model boy, having more than a pro
rata proportion of original sin in his
composition, a portion that seemed to
have come straight down in original
package condition from the garden soon
after the fall, for it was extra quality
and apparently irradicably implanted.
His chief propensity was for scrapping.
He had a standing feud with one of the
other copy boys in the office, and out
standing hatreds with several of the
Postal and Western Union messenger
boys who were regular visitants to the
office. He scrapped, he smoked ciga
rettes, lied, swore and was strongly sus
pected of occasionally stealing when op
portunity offered, and withal carried
about always such a lugubrious counte
nance that he won the name of Dismal
from the manager who was in charge of
the office.
Finally, after several warnings, he
reached the end of his.tether and was
incontinently fired and departed weep
ing, more dismal than ever. He disap
peared for some time, but one day turn
ed up at the office with a message from
another office in the neighborhood. He
was somewhat improved in appearance,
his face washed and his hair brushed,
and in the lapel of his coat there was a
Christian Endeavor pin.
‘‘Hello, Dismal,” said the manager,
when the reconstructed messenger hand
ed him a note. ‘‘Where are you working
now?”
“Christian association,” says Dismal,
looking more dolorous than ever.
“What’s-come over you?” said the
manager. “You look like they’d been at
work on you.”
“Been converted, sir,” replied the
erstwhile sinner dolefully.
“You have, have you? You mean
you don’t scrap any more?” ■
“No, sir.”
“Nor lie nor swear nor smoke?”
“No, sir,” groaned Dismal, furtively
shoving a cigarette box farther down in
his upper vest pocket
“Well, I’m glad to hear it,” said the
manager rather incredulously. “Now,
suppose Tibsey (that was Dismal’s old
enemy) should jump you when you came
up here and start to pound you, what
would you do about it?
“I’dtell ’im it was wrong, sir,” said
Dismal, apparently on the verge of tears.
Then he started out of the office, and
just as he was going down the corridor
he met Tibsey coming out of the tele
graph room. Those in the inner office
heard the sound of the liveliest sort of
a mixup out in the hallway, and they
rushed out just in time to see Dismal
with Tibsey’s head in chancery, ham
mering him energetically, while the un
fortunate Tibsey yelled for assistance.
The coming of re-enforcements broke up
the fight, and the last that was seen of
Dismal he was fleeing down stairs with
out waiting for the elevator, with his
C. E. button twinkling cheerily under
the electric lights in the distance.—

Four Died From Poison.

Sanford Gillis, wife of a wellknown
farmer near Shalesburg, poisoned her
self and three of her six children. She
wks known to be insane. All four died.
What the Editor Heard,
A STORY FROM CAYUGA CO., N. Y.
Silas Pennell, of Nile,, N. V., Telia of ■
Miracle of the Nineteenth
Century.
(From the Cayuga Co., N. Y., Independent.)
Hearing through Messrs. Allen & Burch,
druggists of Niles, that Mr. Silas Z. Pen
nell, a respected citizen of that town had
been cured of a bad case of sciatic rheuma
tism by the useof Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People, the editor of the Cayuga
County Independent determined to know
the truth of the matter and went out to
Niles. Mr. Pennell is a farmer and has a
neat and comfortable home near Niles. We
asked Mr. Pennell if it was true that he had
been cured of a bad ease of rheumatism by
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. He said that
three years ago in August 1891, he was
seized with severe pains in the hip, just
where the sciatic nerve is, which gradually
ran down his leg making life a misery to
him but not preventing him from doing
some work on the farm. Soon after he was
loading hay when he slipped off the load
and hit his hip on the wneel. After thia
he was worse, suffering great agony, and
for some time was unable to do any work.
He took such medicines as his physician
prescribed and improved somewhat so that
he conld help some around the farm again.
About Thanksgiving time he was helping to
■put away some barrels of cider which he had
made, when he strained himself and again
became helpless. He then tried another
physician who felt confident of curing him
by the use of the electric battery and medi
cines which he prescribed. But failure was
the result, he got no better, and another
physician was tried and treated him for
some time. By this time his whole body
was affected. Sharp pains would start in
his hand or foot, run up one side of his
body, over his shoulders and then down the
other side and then pass off for a short time.
These pains would return regularly, affect
ing his whole body, and nothing seemed to
relieve him and he began to despair of ever
being well. In the spring of 1892 a relative
in another county read of a case very simi
lar to Mr. Pennell’s, which had been cured
by Pink Pills, and sent the article to him,
asking if it did not suit his case. It was
very similar and he determined to try them.
He commenced taking Pink Pills and soon
felt better, the pains became less violent
with longer intervals between them. He
felt encouraged and persevered in their use
and soon became able to work on the farm,
and in April or May he felt so free from
pain that he considered himself a well man
again. He says he has probably taken 20
boxes and able to do as good a day’s work as
any other man, and we can say that he
look, like a hale and hearty man who had
sever known sickness.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the
•laments necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,

CELEBRATES CENTENNIAL.
It Is Probably the Moat Economically Con
ducted College In the United States, and
It Has Graduated Some of the Most Emi
nent Men of the Land.
As an institution of the higher educa
tion, the University of North Carolina,
at Chapel Hill, may not be very well
known outside the south, but in those
states which lie on the sunny side of
Mason and Dixon’s line, and particular
ly in its own state, this university is
known and honored of all men.
Especial attention has recently been
called to this seat of learning by the
centennial celebration which was held
on June 5. The exercises of the occasion
took place in Memorial hall, atarge and
handsome auditorium of hexagonal
shape, 134 by 138 feet in extent in its
greatest dimensions, 64 feet high, and
capable of seating 3,500 persons. This
hall was erected by the alumni in mem
ory of the university’s eminent dead,
and especially those who were killed in
battle during the war. The names of the
latter are inscribed upon four large
mural tablets behind the rostrum. There
are 264 names in this list, which is
larger than the list in Harvard Memorial
hall, and since the tablets were put up
23 additional names have been discover
ed by Dr. Stephen B. Weeks, to whose
indefatigable energy the existence of the
tablets and the list is due. These names
are arranged bv classes, the first one be-

CAROLINA.
ing that of Bishop Leonidas Polk of
Louisiana, lieutenant general, of the
class of 1821, while the last is that of a
beardless boy of the class of ’65.
Next to William and Mary, the Uni
versity of North Carolina is the oldest
college in the south. Janies K. Polk,
president of the United States; William
H. King, vice president; Thomas Hart
Benton, author of “Thirty Years In the
United States Senate;” General Francis
P. Blair, Zebulon B. Vance, General M.
W. Ransom, Francis L. Hawks, presi
dent of the American Geographical so
ciety, and scores of other men who have
played prominent parts upon the stage
of life in America were among the grad
uates of this university.
When the war broke out in 1861, the
students and professors of the Univer
sity of North Carolina very quickly
showed themselves to be made of sol
dierly stuff, for within a few weeks the
university’s halls were nearly deserted,
about seven-eighths of the entire student
body entering the Confederate army as
volunteers at the first call for troops.
Os one large class, indeed, but three re
mained to finish out the course. Upon
almost every field of battle in the great
contest between the north and the south
were found these student warriors, for
they came from every state of the Con
federacy and were scattered from Texas
to Maryland and from Virginia to Mis
souri.
Notwithstanding the general exodus
of students and faculty to take part in
the civil war, the university survived
that struggle, though but a few dozen
youngsters and a half dozen professors
remained within its halls to keep the
lamp of learning alight. In April, 1865,
Kilpatrick’s cavalry encamped on the
college grounds, but the exercises went
on, and before the cavalry left—its stay
extending over several months—General
Atkins fell in love with and married
the daughter of the president. After the
war, during reconstruction days, the
college was closed for a time, but in
1875 it was reopened with seven pro
fessors and 60 students.
At the present time there 470 students
and 35 professors and teachers. Fifteen
states are represented in the student
body, while the faculty is composed of
professors from a dozen different Amer
ican and German universities. George
T. Winston, the president, was graduated
from Cornell in 1874, where he was a
college mate of John DeWitt Warner, J.
C. Harding and J. B. Foraker. Winston
joined the faculty of the University of
North Carolina in 1875 as an assistant
professor of literature. At the end of the
year he was made professor of Latin,
and in 1891 was unanimously elected
president. He believes in college disci
pline, but maintains it rather by force of
student sentiment than by harshly exer
cised authority. He is a native of North
Carolina.
In one respect no doubt this university
is without a parallel, for no other col
lege probably has ever been able, at
least in modern times, to maintain so
large a body of students and professors
as this upon a total annual income of
less than $45,000, nor could it be main
tained here were it not that every dollar
is closely" watched. The expenses of the
students, too, are remarkably low, the
average of each being not to exceed
$250, while some who have scho&rships
carrying free tuition get through on less
than SIOO a year.
The college campus is 50 acres in ex
tent, and the university park adjacent
covers 500 acres. There are ten univer
sity buildings all told. Os these the old
south building is the oldest and one of
the most interesting. It was erected in
1795, is three stories high and 36 by 120
feet in area. The old west building,
built in 1826, duplicates the old east in
size and style. Both are now used as
dormitories.

Havana. June 18.—Maximo Gomez
has attacked Alta Gracia and has
burned the railroad station and many
other houses. The garrison of the
place, consisting of 25. soldiers, made a
heroic defense, losing five killed and
having .seven wounded. The sergeant
who was in command of the detach

lieutenant for his bravery.
Owing to unexpected events,. Captain
General Campos has reconsidered his
decision and has proclaimed the prov

martial law.
Colonel Canellas has had several en
garments ■with the insurgents, rout
ing them in each instance.
The Spanish commander also cap
tured a quantity of arms and ammuni
tion. The troops had one killed and 12
wounded. During the nights of June
15 and 16 the outposts of the Spanish
troops at Puerto Principe was fired on

Washington, June 181 —Cardinal
Gibbons has taken to Rome the docu

thias societies of Fall River, Mass.,
with a view to having the pope make a
ruling on them. The ease is a peculiar
one, as the Fall River societies are
made up very largely if not entirely of
Catholic members. They have built
up a benficial insurance system, the
benefits of which would be lost if the
members are compelled to obey the de
