TRAIN wrecker* in south carouna There have been weveral attempla re cently to wreck passenger trains In South Carolina. Not only the railroad but the pub lic authorities In the cltlea. In the counties autl the state ItaeU should ex pend every effort In order to bring the guilty parties to Justice A train wreck er la a murderer of the worst kind. Whether for the purpose of robbery or for spKe and In ma'lce, the persons guilty allow Bitch a wholesale disregard for Innocent human lives and suffer ing, that they are as dutigeroua as sav age wild beasta at large. They should be hunted down, caught, safely Incar cerated or otherwise put out of the way of doing further harm. Every wrecking of pataeuger trains should enlist the active support and cooperation of every citizen in the neighboring country, in order to help the authorities bring the guilty parties to speedy justice. It Is horrible to think of human lives slaughtered by the wholesale by dastardly train wreckers. Fortunately no lives have been lost In the recent attempts, hut they are becoming too frequent autl the next attempts may ha attended with frightful disaster. Many a stage struck person blames Jt all on the omnibus driver. Politeness pays as a rule, yet many n man has lost heavily through a civil getioo. ; #**«»** tt# 94t$Mf I jmbl; Kw ftMfcf • ftp’"* tftriw : ft, *4 «V **m m m fftftft mn**w fruftftm § trip in ft ft % *ftft ft' ftitrti tft#i m V***4 bmrn —fvft H ftftft I lift ftftMtfilft HI ftftCMl ftft tft# 11 ifti »<ftn>ifft t*ft« f'■ rtfll P|RtM • • L-«-« M 4 : » ftftftfft t fri>f‘~ mm wilwpf' ftft* (>lt , trr nft| fm #« tliif 4smm ftft ftftnlft niftftif ft##! f«ti« ftf Iputiftft ifti «ftHm§ ftftftf ftftft ftftnft# rvftfli ftlftlftftt ftiil«*« It stilt lift ft** fiftft! t© ftltftft tftflft ftftttftft ftftft ftftflft* #t*n4»tt»yi tft ftft I AftMPfHftft fMPpftftpftt m »b* asarkara «f tha wort* The way io gtp< trftft* ftftft fWtifi ftMif* ftfHft t# tft f , cftNpt»l ftftft htftp A ftft H Ift tftftt Jftftl ftrl ft UMftft ftttl ftftftpftl tft tW Aftwrtrftft p*oftt» ftftft* tft*iy rot to ftlkt ftft Uftlf •*•<*§ ftftft Irfttft Oft tft (ft (JHffltO# TOPHO BFHBEM 111 It la ail esploded Mss that young mail i sasot ha trwMad with the bast aaaa of lha wtM.

KIIF THE STEEETg CLEAN. The Civic League la making a vig orous campaign. In regard to the lit ter and scrap paper thrown and scat tered on the streeia. There Is nothing that detracts so much from a street's appearance aa un sightly and loose paper lying on the sidewalks or tanked up In the gut ters. The league's object of securing receptacles and endeavoring to corral trash paper is a laudable one, and should receive the co-operation of all cllixene; but it will do more effective work In seeking to enforce the '.aw that make* It an offense, punishable by tine, In scattering loose paper on the public streets. The darkey who distributes "dodg ers” broadcast throughout the city can keep the la-ague members, the city scavenger and several others busy ev ery day in the week gathering up the trash he has created. Why not gather I up and run in the darkey? It will save lots of time and trouble. The best work that th<f league can do Is to stop the habit of entering ihe city's streets with loose paper. If they wilt devote their attention to this, the city scavenger can easily do his share in removing the trash. Another l-sver Victim. Detroit Tribune. I met a pretty maiden, Whose eyas were wet and red: "And has some dear one fallen On the battlefield?” I said. "IViciiaime it Is your father Or your brother, or. alack! A nearer «ml a dearer One who never will come back.” ••No’ my father hasn't fallen And my brother is all right; I have no near or dear one Who has gone away to fight; It is Just the old hay fever That’s around again,” she said, And then she got to sneezing TUI I thought she lose her head- T*tß3 -A TJOTJBT-A mm m> >im*u z*m> i# «** owa»< «sftw it *** §*w* • % ** / pNftlftWft *M A Hi Ift ft* fr* £ Mb < ftft tat* «MftgN* #MKftlft(p|* ft (ms *ftft fftlftpftftft HI IfiftftAft'A ft** ftftft . fc»ft*ft ftftft t.ifftftir nattc. iHH*r liVUlWHlidl Hft | ftMft lift ftftft Hftlft# ftftft ftft ft** 1 ” i ftfft |ft I** Iftlftft'* Iftftft* ftftft ft® "**“* lIMMi fMftft iwpftftpftft ft® *ft* ♦ ftft fMP'ftftl tft •ft t ?

One of the officers, upon spying the j halbnut In the air, lumped to hi# feet, , and said.

Mr. Hitt haa had diplomatic experience, having been first secretary at Parts, assistant secretary of state, and ts, moreover, a wealthy man. The pastors of the prominent churches throughout the country on last Sunday discussed the war and Its effects. Among many texts were the follow ing: "God's Hand on Our Country.” "Nation Shall not Raise It* Hand Against Nation." One clergyman In referring m Ad miral Dewey, used this text, "Surely, the Worth of Man Shall rralse Thee." Homer Davenport. Tbe New York Journal's clever cartoonist, has been on hls first visit to Boston. Instead of seeing the policemen, as he had expec ted. standing on the street corners reading Latin grammars, he says they are the same burly cops they have in New York. Instead of meeting with quantities of he-spectaclcd old maids, with cotk screw curls, on the streets, lie says the gills are most lovely and pretty. Here are the allowances for the Par is peace commissioners: I’d each of the commissioners 3150 u day: to Secretary Moore, *7">; to Assist ant Secretrry Mae Arthur, jr>o; to Dis bursing Officer Rrannigan and Chief Translator Rodrigues, to each of the nine Interpreters, attaches, stenog raphers. etc., 310; and to t he two mes sengers. JO a day; or for the ninety days tha; they ore expected to be away, a grand total of *»2.250. This Is for tbe personal expenses alone of the various fttemb'.TS and does not include any sala ries. It Is expected that Commissioners Day and Heed will each receive a fee of 32r>.00f1. the other members being in the government service and drawing thtdr salaries as if in Wasliington.
