It is not often .that the plumber appears in the role of a public benefactor, but this one is an <•xeeplion to the rule. With a recklessness characteristic of his calling he cut off the gas at an early hour this morning and it was several hours be fore he could be induced to turn it on again. It is not to be understood by this tlukt gas is essential to the sparkling gems of ■thought that usually adorn this page, but since tlie advent of the Mergenthaler gas is highly essential to the moulding oi ■these thoughts into solid slugs of type. Henc<. in tapping The News' gas main, while trying to lower the.pipes for the completion of the paving work on Second street—a thing which we have not yet despaired of—this public benefactor stop ped operations in The News' composing room for several hours, leaving us barely enough time in which to get up the usual quota of local and war news. Recognizing the tact that the public can better spare our editorials than anything else, we have very magnanimously yielded the linotypes to the local department and war editor. In order to reassure the pub lic, we will also mention that this catas trophe docs not threaten a double ration of editorial matter tomorrow, for the sin gle reason that we capitulated and sur rendered the editorial pen the moment the gas was shut off. 1 he New Army Bill.

S. Crowninshield, chief of the bureau of navigation; Captain A. S. Bar ker and Commander Richardson Clover, chief of the office of naval intelligence. In retiring from the cabinet old man Sherman has saved himself and family from further •humiliation at the hands of the Hanna administration. Come around and read The News’ war bulletins. They are the earliest displayed in Macon, and, by common consent, the most reliable. Georgia will be called upon to furnish about 2,000 troops at once.

A Budapest letter to tbo London Pall Mali Gazette sajs: A small diamond board screw* d on to the wall of my room and provided with a conploof hooks, from which hung two tiny. round tele phone earpieces connected by two wires that is all—but my proprietor has l»x»n singing its praises for the last 2<> minutes. ui<lanhe confidentially amured mo that it will not play any part in mv hotel hill nt the end of my stay, th re is no earthly reason why I should enter any protest against his profuse encomiums. i bls, said he, “is the telephonic messenger, or talking newspaper—the only thing of its kind In the world. It has now been established in Budapest shout three y< are. It differs from the. or dinary telephe.no in tho fact that the latter is directly connected with the central of fice, whereas we are able to connect from 2<io or doo subscribers in one circuit The city is divided into 30 circuits All day long news is spoken into a specially con structed apparatus at the central office, varied with < tertainments, tho opera and linguistic lessons. It is not a telephone in the strict sense of the word and there fore does not Infringe the telephone rights of the government. It combines the func tions of your tajsj machines and electro phones, while it Is ton times cheaper. That buzz you hear just now was to pre vent subscribers talking to each other on thuir own account. ” rt seems strange that snch an excel lent idea as this appears to bo should not lx. introduced in other towns than Buda pest,” I ventured. “The answer is very simple. Os course the nowspapt r feature would be impossible in London, where timo is everything, and a man could nut sit the whole day with the apparatus u. his car, waiting for some particular news or exchange prices. Then, again, other not ho advantage ously situated in thin res-.pee.t as Budapest, vhere the law empowers the company to introduce the apparatus Into any house in tho city In spite of tho objections of tho landlord. Wo have here 0,000 subscribers, mid each pays only 18 florins a year. With us it Is j_ai in England with a certain soap —our itiinilii.w don’t feel happy until they get it. It is ho cheap that many of tho rooms in my hotel are fitted up with it. If the visitor finds it inconvenient to go Co the opera, all Im has to <lO is to put this ipparatus to his ear and he can be enter tained tho whole evening. Tho general public, toe, can have news in advance of the newspapers. Why, a few weeks ago, when tho German kaiser gave that cele brated toast of bis to tho Hungarian na tion, thousands of families were listening to its recital half an hour later. Without this apparatus they would have had to wait until next day. ” “Have you a regular daily programme?” “Yus. It Is announced in tho morning and changes every half hour or so. Tho greater part of tho morning is taken up with prices on ’change, a summary of the nows in tho dailies. At. noon wo begin to get a report of the doings in parliament. Telegrams of ini porta neo arc communi cated at once, tho telephonic messenger being in direct connection with a leading Budapest newspaper. At about 8 o’clock the morning nows is in part repeated, then come exchange prices, telegrams, law re ports, a short, entertaining story, theat rical items and sometimes a concert, and for an hour in tho evening we get a lesson in English, Italian and French. You have no idea wind a benefit this is to the young generation and how popular those lessons are among them. A complete set of graduated exercises lias been published in these languages. Each telephone sub scriber who cares to listen holds a copy of the book in question before him, and the teacher speaks into the double microphone transmitter at the central office.” A REVOLUTIONARY RELIC. Varletou'H Rword That. Was Lost at the Battle of Cowpens. A priceless relic of Revolutionary days has just been placed in the statehouse at Columbia, S. C., for safe keeping. It is the sword which Tarleton used in leading tho British troopers at tho battle of Cow pens, that State, against the patriots un der Morgan, Pickens, Sumter and Marion. Tho sword is the property of Colonel T. E. Dickson, and has been placed with the sword of Marion and other revolutionary relics in tho possession of the state. Tarleton lost the sword at tho battle of Cowpens, where the patriots won such a signal victory, a victory which put fresh heart in their brethren throughout the colonies and hastened the coining of the triumphant end of the war at Yorktown. Colonel William Washington, tho gallant leader of the American cavalry, pressed Tarleton so closely in his fight as to be able to have one exchange of saber blows with the British lender Washington’s sword cut Tarleton’s lingers and the Brit ish colonel dropped Ids steel, spurred his steed and obtained safety by flight. William Soott, tho father of Colonel Dickson's mother, was an American sol dior in the battle of Cowpens, lie saw tho light between Washington and Tarleton and picked up the latter’s sword when he dropped it. Tho sword has ever since been preserved in tho family as a priceless trophy of ancestral prowess in tho Revolutionary war. Tho sword or saber, for the blade curves back so ns to give greater force to its blows, is long and heavy The blade is a yard in length, while tho hilt is slightly over 6 inches long, with an iron guard There is a long scratch on tho guard and a cut in tho iron knob at tho end cf tho hilt, which are believed to have been made by the blow of Washington’s sword which forced Tarleton to drbp ins weapon or which knocked it out of his hand. Tho iron shank of the hilt is cased in wood, which wtts covered with leather, much of which has been worn away. Upon the blade, close to the hilt, is en graved the word “Potter,” probably the name of its maker. There are many notches in the blade,* and some rust upon it, possibly made by the blood cf patriots who had felt its edge. In this connection it. will not be amiss to repeat two anecdotes about Tarleton uml Washington. The patriot ladies of the Revolutionary times had keen wits. On one occasion Tarleton in a bragging mood was telling ■ a patriot lady how he wished he could meet“their boasted Colonel Washington.” Her prompt reply was, “If you had looked behind you when running away from Cowpens, your wish would have been gratified. ” On another occasion Tarleton was speak ing contemptuously of Colonel William Washington to a patriot lady. “Why,” said Tarleton, “they tell mo he is so igno rant that, he cannot even write his name.” With a meaning glance at Tarleton’s right hand, which Washington bad wounded, the lady replied, “But nobody is better aware than you, Colonel Tarleton, that Colonel Washington knows bow to make bis mark. ” —Washington Star. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D. “Was taken with a bad cold which settled on my lungs; cough set in and finally terminated in consumption. Four doctors gave me up. saying I could only live a short time. I gave myself up to my savior, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds. I gave it a trial, taking in all eight bottles. It has cured me, and. thank God, I am now a healthy woman.” Trial bottles free at H. J. Lamar & Sons’ drug store. Regular size, 50c and sl.

For bogging letter writ ets there is a list of tho addresses, arrivals and departures of persons cf known chari hl ;e disposition. '1 ho paper is a mine of information to its readers. The Beggars’ Journal is not so “high class” a paper, but it is perhaps more in teresting. it prides itself on the exclusive ness of its information. It is unique in form, being written and not printed on tho coarse browny white paper used by grocers to wrap sugar in. Its advertisement columns are suggest ive: “Wanted, a blind man to play tbo flute. Apply to the editor.” “Wanted for a fashionable watering place a one armed man; good references; security required.” This paper contains, like tho other, no tices of births, deaths and marriages in high circles. It does not boast of a very huge, staff, for tho editor, who is also sole proprietor, writes out the single copy of the paper and takes it round every mprn ing to each of his subscribers, who havo the privilege of looking over this unique journal for a few minutes by paying the munificent sum of 8 cents a month. Difiereut Views of a Hangman. There is no lack of competitors for the office of executioner when tbo oporation has to bo performed in England, but in Ireland there is a great prejudice against undertaking it and thero havo boon diffi culties sometimes in tho colonies in find ing an operator. Marwood used to say ho never experienced any unpopularity in England and accounted for Calcraft being sometimes badly received by saying that “Mr. Calcraft.never made himself agree able.” Going to Wales on one occasion to fulfill his office in the case of a foreigner who had committed several brutal mur ders, ho found himself quite popular and was received at the station when about to depart with a sort of ovation, to which ho responded affably, saying ho hoped ho might “before long have occasion to visit Ilium again. ” On the other hand, on’coming back from Cork, where he had been .to carry out tho duties of his profession because no native could be found to do tho job, he had rather a rough experience, for on board the steamer ho overheard a conver sation between two Irishmen, one of whom related that he heard the hangman was on board, to which the other replied that could ho find him ho would throw him overboard during the night. Marwood on this thought it well to retire to his bed in a dark corner and did not make his ap pearance any more until the steamer was well in the dock in England. Chambers’ Journal. Didn’t Refuse In Proper Form. Any one who has lived in England knows and has suffered from tho excesses of tho English tea habit. An afternoon spent with a quiot, staid Oxford professor may mean a severe test of one’s capacity fur consuming this beverage. While the late Mr. Gifford was at Ash burton he contracted an acquaintance with a family of that place, consisting of fe males somewhat advanced in ago. On one occasion ho ventured on the perilous ex ploit of drinking ton with those elderly ladies. After having swallowed his usual allowance of tea ho found, in spito of his remonstrances to the contrary, that his hostess would by no moans suffer him to give up, but persisted in making him drink a most incredible quantity. “At last,” said Gifford in telling the story, “being really overflowed with tea, I put down my fourteenth cup and ex claimed, with an air of resolution,‘l nei ther can nor will drink any more.’ “The hostess then, seeing she had forced lucre down my throat than 1 liked, began to apologize and tickled, 'But, dear Mr. Gifford, as you didn’t put your spoon across your cup, I supposed your refusals were nothing but good manners. ' ” —Lon; don Telegraph. Superstition About Photographs. The Formesan aborigines regard pho tography with Strong superstition. To ward the e.h .-.c of September last the heir of the chieftain of a certain tribe and sev eral other young men visited tho Toseika ku pacification and reclamation office, and in tbo course of their stay they offered themselves to be photographed. Lately several of those young men appeared at the same office and requested that their portraits should bo returned to them, for they heard to t heir surprise from the elders of tho tribe that persons who are photo graphed are in a similar condition as if their souls had been abstracted, and hence they would bo sure to suffer serious ill ness. The only way to provide against this calamity lay in burningall the photo graphs. Tho people earnestly tried to un deceive the young men, but without effect, and they were therefore obliged to give them their photographs. \ WiHiam’s Kidney Pilis v \ Ila® no equal in diseases of the F £ Kidneys ai.d Ur in ary Organs.
