PRAYER FAILED TO CURE HER
Young Life Which Might Have Been
Saved by a Physician.
Kf.idsvillb, N. O., March 9.—Min
Zollie Romiuger died at the home of
her parents, Dr. and Mrs. 0. A Romiu*
ger, Thursday evening, after an iliuesi
of four week*. She was 10 years of age.
There is a widespread feeling that
this young girl’s life might have been
saved had she received the attention of
a physician. Her father, a leading den
tist. believes in divine healing, aud
he did uot call in a physician during
her illness, but prayed for her restora
tion to health. Nor were any of the
remedies prescribed by physician* for
typhoid fever, the disease with which
she was afflicted, used. She received
the* tenderest nursing at the hands of
loved ones, and her father asked her if
she wanted a doctor and called over the
names of the different ones in town, but
she said she did not.

REFORMS IN COTTON MILLS

Ralfioh, March 9. — One hundred
and fifty cotton nulls in the state yea*
terday presented a paper to the judiciary
committee, iu which they pledge that,
from March 1, no week’s work shall ex
ceed 00 hours; that no child under II
years shall work in a mill during the
term time of available public schools;
that mills will do all in their power tu
promote the education of the working
people in the state, and cheerfully bear
their part of the burden. They then
petition the legislature, iu view of thin
agreement, to enact no labor laws at
this session.
The committee reported last night,
saying the evil of child labor is being
rapidly diminished in the state; that it
is gratified at the spirit shown by mill
owners who have signed an agreement
before legislation is enacted, and it
recommends an acceptance of the agree*
ment.

Strained Relations Between
Chile, Peru and Bolivia.
RANKLING OP OLD SORE
Grievance of Peru Evidently Ilcr De
sire to Regain Provinces Which She
Lost as Result of Former War With
Neighbors.
Washington, March 9.—The state
department aud various foreign repre
sentatives iu Washington have received
copies of a recent official statement of
the minister of foreign affairs of Peru,
Senor DeOsma, making a vigorous re
sponse to a circular note of the Chilian
foreign office, touching the strained re
lations between Chili, Peru aud Bolivia,
growing out of the war iu which these
three countries participated. The de
termined attitude of Peru Is shown by
the minister’s statement that the coun
try will uot abdicate one single iota
from the rights aud expectancies to
which she is entitled under the treaties
made with Chili.
" Hatred Disavowed.
The minister says Peru desires to con
vey to other countries the conviction
that she is exempt from hatred and
se^ks only her rights iu this negotia
tion, aud he appeals to the “incontesti-
ble testimony ot facts,” which he sets
forth at much length, as showing the
justice of Peru’s position. Ho says that
repeated attempts were made for years
by the Peruviau foreign office to reach
an understanding with Chili for a vote
as to the future of contested territory,
and, iu order to remove every possibil
ity for any new excuse on the part of
Chili, special funds wer • provided to
make payment of any indemnity that
might be awarded.
Agreement Impossible.
Minister DeOsma says that, despite
these prolonged efforts, it has been im
possible to reach any final agreement
under which the controversy would be
submitted to arbitration or would be
otherwise settled. Iu conclusion, the
minister says:
“In the presence of the facts and pre
cedents which I have narrated, it would
be difficult to explain iu -what mauuer
the government of Chili could, without
loss to its international prestige, main
tain, as at present, the controversy re
specting Tacna aud Arica aud the more
general one of the Pacific.”
The document is exciting much inter
est, as showing that Peru is trying to
regain her lost provinces.

MATCHES AND MONEY
UNROMANTIC COURTSHIPS ARE THE
RULE IN GERMANY.
There the Women Are Obliged to
Have Nome Financial Ke*ouree»
When They Murry—The I’o.t of Ae-
Qulring a Militury Uuahnnd.
In Bavaria every girl Is expected to
got married. Ask a Bavarian, and lie
will tell you that It Is Impossible for a
portionless maiden to find a husband.
If a girl has uo money for a dowry,
therefore, she sets herself at work to
save one.
Marriage iu Germany is nearly en
tirely a matter of business. The father
of the girl announces the sum which is
to go with her, while the pupa of the
prospective husband holds out for
more. That is the first stage of the
negotiations. Little by little each yields
to the other. Finally, often after
months of delay, the contract Is drawn
up with minute specifications by a
notary, and thou the loveniaking may
begin. The courtship is very circum
scribed and Is probably not altogether
satisfactory, for the German maiden Is
a romantic creature, and the opportuni
ties she has for getting acquainted
with her husband before marriage are
very meager.
The parental supervision Is so inbred
In the nation that even the government
takes a hand In It with its servants. A
German army officer is a splendid crea
ture lo the eye, but Ids pay is very
small, ranging from a matter of $5 a
week for a lieutenant to $50 a week
for a full fledged general. In order to
prevent the possibility of neediness In
appearance or style of living the gov
ernment forbids an officer to marry un
less lie deposits n certain sum—it is
.$20.0011 for a lieutenant ami becomes
gradually less for each higher grade—
with the authorities, the income of
which Is doled out to him semiannual
ly. Tills Is In reality putting a price on
the man, because the greater number
of German officers are very iioor and
can get the money required only from
their brides.
The money which n wife brings to
her husband, unless there Is an express
notarial stipulation to the contrary, be-
comes absolutely the husband’s proper
ty. Woman In the eye of the law has
practically no rights except such as her
husband may allow her. He treats her
very often as merely a piece of live
stock. If the woman rebels, which she
does very rarely, lie displays a very
short temper and an nptness for wield
ing a poker or a walking stlek In a use
for which they were never meant.
In a German newspaper one may al
ways find a column devoted to matri
monial announcements. There is no
romance in these advertisements. The
man tells how much money lie lias and
lion much he wants. The woman
names her dowry lo the very pfennig.
Very often the man lias no money at
all and expresses Ills desire to mnrry
Into a business, but tlie woman knows
that it is useless to advertise at all un
less she lias some money. If It amounts
only to $100 or so, which may be re
garded as the lowest sum worthy of
onshlemtlon as a mitgift.
On the other hand, it is the woman's
privilege to name tlie calling which she
prefers the man should follow. She
usually chooses an official clerk or por
ter, a policeman or u ear conductor, nil
of whom have tenure of office and an
old age pension. She lias more of an
eye to stability than to ambition.
It is in the so called higher classes of
society Unit one finds tlie baldest anil
most businesslike matrimonial trans
actions. There are few young men of
tills class who have either money or
any prospect of making any otherwise
than by a wealthy marriage. When
they inherit fortunes. It Is the fashion
to dissipate them, and wiien they don't
Inherit it is ngalnst the prejudices of
their education and' training to seek
employment or to engage In any kind
of business.
Therefore most of them enter the ar
my while waiting for a rich bride.
Da lighters of rich brewer* and iuer-
elianta are acceptable to these gentle
men. but their great anil persistent
dream is to capture an American heir
ess. They confess the mutter frankly
to any one ami every one who will lis
ten.
Traveling American heiresses are not
so plentiful Iu Germany as in France
anil Italy: still, they nre to lie found.
It would seem, however, that notwith
standing the fact that German titles
are at least a little more valuable than
those of the Latin countries they do
not possess the same glamour In femi
nine eyes, because the German title
captures the American bag of gold
comparatively rarely. Perhaps It Is be
cause the Teutonic wooing Is more ar
rogant and upercillous tiiau Insinuat
ing.
Of all countries Germany Is perhaps
that la which romanticism flourishes
most. It Is instinct in Its traditions, in
its history and its literature. Vet In
the affairs of daily life nml pre-emi
nently in Its matrimonial affairs mili
tarism rises to the plane of worship.—

SCHEME OF A NEWSPAPER
System Whereby Wasteful Warfare
Between Cupttal and Labor May Ue
Happily Eliminated From the In-
dustrtal and Commercial World.
Terbe Haute, March 9.—The Terre
Haute Evening Gazette, holder of the
franchise for the day dispatcho3 of the
Associated Press in this city, announces
today an important change in its own
ership.
For more than a quarter of a oenury
it has been owned by William 0. and
Spencer F. Balk They remain the
principal owners, but under comprehen
sive articles of copartnership they have
given all persons regularly at work on
the paper in all departments an oppor
tunity to secure partnership in the pa
per. The proposition Is made for add
ing others after a year’s connection
with the paper. All ot work on tho pa
per may become partners. No interest
in it can be held by any one not so en
gaged. . . .
A 5 per cent per annum dividend, and
more if the paper earns more, is guar
anteed to the miuority-in-interest part
ners. They ore also guaranteed par for
their holding whenever thoy at any
time rotiro from tho firm.
Tho plan contemplates more than
profltsharing, ou which its projectors
hope it will lie an improvement aud ad
vance.
For more than a quarter of a coutury
there has been entire harmony between
the proprietors of The Gazette and its
employes. Most of the latter havo been
trained on the paper and brought up
into the bust-css, aud thus have had an
important part tn the building up of The
Gazette, of which they are now given
opportunity to become a part owner.
The projectors of this comprehensive
copartnership arrangement are hopeful
that it may serve as a model of a system
whereby wasteful warfare between cap
ital and labor and autagonisms between
employers and employes may be elim
inated from the industrial aud oommen-
cial world.
UGLY SCANDAL IN ALABAMA.

courthouse that will attract widespread

The threatened scandal has to do with
tho manner in which large numbers of
persons have been sent to the coal mines
by the authorities of this county ou a
charge of unlawfully riding on railroad
trams.
Reputable citizens, and mauy of them,
ebarge that the officials have practiced
gross irregularities; that innocent meu
have been convicted without auy sort of
evideuco; that men have been sent to
the mines without having had any sort
of trial; that there Is collusion among
somo of the county authorities to ap
prehend ••strangers" as they nre termed
while passing through Greenville aud
that this "arrangemeiit" is for profit.

TAXATION OF BUCKETSHOPS
Internal ICerenue Law Amended by
Last Congress.
New York, March 9 — It is an
nounced in a Washington special to The
Journal of Commerce that a circular
letter to collectors of internal revenue
is in preparation by the commissioner of
internal revenue in regard to changes
in the act of 1898, made by the new
revenue law, in regard to bucketshop
transactions.
The instrnctious will at the ontset
merely call attention to the new law
and direct its reinforcement, but it is
anticipated that some questions may
arise before it has been long in opera
tion. The provisions affecting bncket-
shops will take effect in April, although
most of the other provisions of the bill
will take effect with the beginning of
the new official year on July 1.
The existing law has been interpret
ed as requiring snch establishments to
pay tbe tax on two connts on eaoh $200
of par value of stocks dealt In. The ,
only transactions which have partially
escaped tax have been those purporting
to concern prodace and merchandise.
The bucketsbops have claimed ' under
the estimation that the bets accepted by .
them upon the market’spricea of wheat,
corn, cotton and other products were
not consummated on any exchange or
board of trade. But they have paid
more or less cheerfully the annual li
cense tax ot |50 imposed apon brokers.
Now that no distinction is made be
tween tbe purported transactions in
stocks and those in produce, more oare-
fnl scrutiny is likely to be made of the
books of the bnckeiehops, in order to
compel tbe payment of the tax of 3 cent*
on each 9100 levied by the new law.
A CONDITION OF SLAVERY
Rsport of Grand Jury of Anderson
County, S. U.
Anderson, S. 0., March 8. — Tht
grand jury has made its report to the
special term of court on the abases ot
the labor contract system in this oounty.
The report sustains the allegation made
that where the system is need virtual
slavery exists. The jury fonnd, how
ever, that this method of working ne
groes was employed by only 30 men in
the county, and these were presented
and will be indioted for false imprison
ment at the Jane term of coart.
The free laborers have been whipped
and shackled, and in one Instance a man
was kidnaped in Georgia and brought to
a stockade here, where he was worked
till the grand jury fonnd hl"i and he
was set at liberty. The report was pre
pared by a committee of five and was
adopted by the fall grand jury.
Judge Benet, after reading the secret
evidence taken by tbe committee, said
it contained "Pitiful details of long Im
prisonment, without even the mockery
of a trial; whippings, kidnaplngs, from
one county to another, evdn from Geor-
gia. ”
He deprecated the nnjnst criticisms
of northern newspapers, and declared
South Carolina would not send her dirty
linen to a federal laundry. The threat
of congressional Interference was ab-
sard. Such talk did harm. It hurt the
negroes' cause.
The solicitor will bring indiotment*
agaiust these planters at the June term
