The South Carolina stale senate, Saturday, by a vote of 21 to 15, pass ed the Carey bill abolishing the state dispensary system and substituting a local option system betweeu county dispensaries and prohibition. This ends South Carolina's experi ment of 14 years with the state dis pensary system of handling whiskey and is a distinct defeat for the dis pensary element which has had tne leadership of Senator Tillman. The house has already passed the local option bill by a large majority and the bill will become law as soon as signed by Governor Adscl, who was elected on a platform carrying out this local option idea. Governor Ansel at once removed from office the three members of the state dispensary board who were ac cused by the legislative committee of gross mismanagement and illegal purchase of whiskey. These members are J. M. Rawling son, of Richland; J. B. Wylie, of ■Chester, and John V Black, of Col leton. The removal came only a few daye before the board would be removed from office by the bill abolishing the dispensary, which the legislature has ..passed. or GREaI BtNtFII 10 601IIH. Part of Rockefeller's Great Gift Will Come 10 Ih s Direction. A New York dispatch says: Fred erick T. Gates, chairman of the gen eral education board to which John D. Rockefeller gave $32,000,000 a few days ago, says that the income from this gift and the income from Mr. Rockefeller's prior gift of $11,000,000 will be used to increase the resources ■of various educational institutions in this country within the next decade, by from $200,000,000 to $250,0C0,uu0. This is to say, the board will aim to stimulate local pride in and generos ity toward public institutions and colleges throughout the nation, and its distribution of the income will usual ly be conditioned upon the raising of larger amounts by the recipient. It is understood that the idea of the elder Rockefeller is to make tils future benefactions through his son. This is said to be indicated by his having made the gift of last Thurs day through the junior Rockefeller. It is probable that the younger Rocke feller will devot9 most of his time hereafter to administering the bene volence of his father. As an imme diate result of this big gift, the board will extend its agricultural demon stration work to all of the Southern states. It is predicted that this work, which consists im conducting model farms on educational lines, will mean the agricultural rejuvenation of the South. NEW YORK CIiIN4IOWN DOOMED.

A cut of wild cars shifted by a Southern freight engine crashed into a crowded street car at the crossing at Twenty-seventh street and First avenue in Birmingham, Ala., about 7:15 o'clock Friday night, with the result that four people were instant ly killed and many others badly in jured. The car struck was a trailer filled with people returning to their homes at East Lake. The trailer is reserved fur men who wish to smoke, and no women were on it. The irailer was turned completely over, and pushed for some distance. The Twenty-seventh street crossing is a veritable death trap, more than a dozen accidents having happened there. It is at a number of furnaces, among them being those of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company. The street cars at this point, have to cross about a dozen tracks, those of the Louisville and Nashville, the Southern and other roads. The engineer of the freight train, R. L. Carnes, says that he had a heavy train of coal cars, and that the cut broke loose accidentally and struck, the street car. The judge has actively aided the police in the capture of Italian law breakers recently. Judge Corese was 48 years of age, and ol Italian descent. His office was at 23 Passaic street. His son, Robert, received the infernal machine, which came from Newark, and was delivered by an American Express wagon. Rob ert handed the package to his father, who removed the outside wrapper. In side was another wrapper of paper, made fast with a strap. The judge rested the package on the desk and pulled the end of the strap toward him, so as to loosen the tongue of the buckle. The moment he did so there was an explosion. A hoie 6 feet square was torn in the floor, and at the desk was driven down into the cellar and torn to pieces. The boy was hurled into a corner, and seriously bruised and burned. Judge Corese had both legs and both arms broken, his face and body torn and lacerated, and his back ap parently . broken.

TO CLOSE MAILS AGAINST SLIME Disgusting Testimony in Thaw Case Up to Postoffice Department. PRESIDENT TAKES ACTION Orders Cortelyou, if Feaseable, to Cut Off Newspapers Carrying Demoral izing Details of Triai. A Washington special says: Monday President Roosevelt called upon the postmaster general, according to of ficial announcement made at the white house, '“to know whether it is feasible to bar from the mails the newspapers that give the full disgust ing particulars of the Thaw case. He does not know whether it is feasible, but if it is, he wishes it done.” The president’s letter was referred to Assistant Attorney General Good will of the postottice department, for a legal opinion. If anything is done it is expected that it will be done promptly, though Judge Goodwin is now out of town. The president, in directing the at tention of the postmaster general to the reports of the Thaw case, diu so without knowledge of the latter's sen timents, but had in view, evidently, the federal statute forbidding the sending* through the mails of “lewa, lascivious and obscene matter.” Unquestionably the work of censor ing the daily newspapers of the coun try would be attended with many dif ficulties and possibly daily legal con tests would result over whether or not newspapers had complied with the postoffice regulations in printing certain evidence adduced at the trial. The present force of postoffice inspec tors would have their hands full as at least one inspector would be needed in each city where daily newspapers are published. Whether or not legal action follows the president’s action, he has placed bimself on record as condemning the stories published. Since the Thaw triai began the New York papers ha\e been excluded from the library in the white house. Upon being interviewed in regard to the president's inquiry Postmaster Gene ral Cortelyou declined to make any statement concerning any action that might be taken or to say that any such proposition was under considera tion. President Roosevelt received a num ber of protests from persons who think that the newspapers printing Ihe full details of the Thaw case should be prohibited transmission through the mails. One of these was a long, telegraphic protest from a newspaper, the name of which, how ever, was not given out at the white house. The recent discussion of the question in Canada notably in the Canadian p'arliament and the state ment of the postmaster general at Ottawa, who was reported to have said that any news paper publishing such evidence as that given in the Thaw case of last Thursday would be guilty of a misde meanor under the Canadian law, also was brought to the attention of the president. Women Excluded from Court. The features of Monday in the Thaw trial were the exclusion of women ’ from the court room and the state ment of Dr. Wagner, an alienist, bas ed on a hypothetical question, that Thaw did not know his acr was wrong when he killed Stanford White. During the two days of last week, when Evelyn Nesblt Thaw was on the witness stand, New York women crowded the court room, having in some manner solved the problem of getting past the bailiff; at the door. Monday morning the women stormed the portals again, but in vain. Their indignation anew no bounds when the court officers repulsed them with the statement that the court’s order excluded every one except such as w r ere working newspaper reporters. NOHtt GIVEN IN ItN LANGIAGfS By Pennsylvania Bank to Us I ustomers Announcing Failure. The Newcastle, Pa., Savings and Trust Company failed to open its doers Saturday.

The bank, it is understood, will have about $259,000 to meet its outstanding ac counts of $300,000. Sea Superstition. All the old seadogs of League Island agree that the new battleship Tennes see is destined to experience some misfortune. When the commission pennant was unfurled on the Tennes see. instead of floating out in a long, narrow streamer, it wrapped itself around the mast, md continued to do so every time it wa? unwrapped. The sailors say that this happens rarely, but when it does it forebodes evil/ When the battleship Missouri, on which the disastrous turret explosion occurred, went into commission her pennant did the same thing.—Phils delpliia Record.

While the British occupied Philadel phia and the American force lay in winter quarters at Valley Forge, says a writer in the Ladies’ Home Journal, one day, as Washington and his staff were dining, a fine hunting dog, which was evidently lost, came to seek some thing to eat. On Its collar was the name “General Howe.” Washington ordered that the dog should be fed, and then he sent It to Philadelphia under a flag of truce, with a letter reading: “General Washington’s com pliments to General Howe.

It is every evening, with few variations, like this: ‘Mama, let’s have toast and Grape-Nuts for breakfast; or, let’s have eggs and Grape-Nuts’ never forgetting the latter. “One of our boys In school and 15 years of age repeatedly tells me his mind is so much brighter and in every way he feels so much better after having Grape-Nuts as a part if not all his breakfast.” Name given by Postum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich.
