CIRCULATION I STEADILY INCREASING. VOL. I. ■ ' CAUCHTINCAROLINA Two More Arrests Made In the Stamp Robbery Case. PRETTY PIECE OF DETECTIVE WORK. Were Detected When the Men Made Tn* • quiry for Their Mail at the Post Office—They Admit Their Iden tity and Willingly Go to JaiL Columbia, S. C., October 23.—Wil liam A. Beach and H. Clay Sinsabaugh, who are charged with being accom plices in the recent stamp robbery in Washington, were arrested here last night. Beach is the third member of the group concerned in the larceny and sale of the postal paper, and is not con nected with any department. There is every reason that the men who stole and used the money derived from the stamps led a fast and reekless life while the money lasted. Beach took the trouble to keep an itemized diary and it shows how freely Smith, the chief stamp thief, spent the money he got from his stamps and how he went around the country with lewd women. Beach Own* Up to the Affair. It was a pretty piece of detective work, the arrest of Beach and his pal, Sinsabaugh. Just yet, it is not known why Sinsabaugh is wanted, but Chief Daly, to be on the safe side, arrested both of the men as directed by the chief of the secret service. Beach owned up gsto the whole ■ affair, there was nothing a jlse for him to do as the papers on him fl||Mold who he was. Chief Daly received the following telegraphic warning several day® ago: "To Chief Police, Columbia, S. C.: William A, Beach, is wanted as an ac complice in disposing of stolen United States postage stamps; said he was going to your city last Wednesday,have search made for him-;-is going under name of Ned Lawrence, You will find letter in mail addressed to him as Ned Lawrence, care post office. Put-.man at post office to shadow for him. I have United States warrant here for him. Answer. Wm. P. Hazen, Chief U S. S. S.” “To Chief of Police, Columbia, S. C, — Later information shows that Beach, alias Ned Lawrence, is accompanied by Sinsabaugh; is doing odd jobs of print ing. Both working their way south west. W. P. Hazen. - ’ “To Chief of Police, Columbia, S. C. — Arrest Beach, alias Lawrence, detain Sinsabaugh until I send for both of them. Wm. P. Hazen, Chief S. S.” Tracked to the Postnffice. As soon as the messages were re ceived Chief Daly stationed a police man at the post office and made inquiry at all the printing offices for Sinsa baugh. It was not long after the men arrived in the city that he was on their track, but he wanted them to go to the post office and call for their letters. They strolled up there, so did a couple of policemen. The post office clerks had been advised to give the cue when Beach, alias Ned Lawrence, and Sinsa .baugh called for their mail. When they called for mail tl;e young lady clerk called Mr, Sadler Gillespie, and he pre sented a pistol at the young men and asked them into a private room. They went. The police were then called in and got their men. The men admitted their identity and willingly went to jail. FOR THE SCHOOL’S INTEREST.

Judge Bregy, act ing for the court, ordered Siddall to pay to his wife’s attorney in tue divorce proceedings the usual council fee pro vided by the law, and awarded the wo man alimony.

The whole effort of Tammany, according to the present program, will be directed towards drawing party lines, and all talk about the record of Grant and Tammany gen erally will be met by the assertion that this is "threshing over old straw,” and that the salvation of the democratic party is the one thing at stake. The Kumor Creates Excitement. Considerable excitement prevailed among the politicians yesterday owing to a rurnc that there was to be a meet ing in one of the up-town hotels be tween Mr. Grace and several of the leaders of Tammany hall in the inter est of complete harmony. As it was understood at the time har mony was to be brought about by the conference through a disposition of the congressmen from this city, it was said that the conference would decide that one democratic candidate for congress would be sufficient in each district, and having come to that conclusion, would recommend the withdrawal of candi dates on one side or the other in order that no republican could, by any possi- ( bility. slip in through a division of the i democratic forces. I The principal work of the conference was to decide on just now many demo cratic candidates for congress should be state democrats, and how many Tammany hall men. Tammany, as it was told, was ready to make almost any sacrifice iu order to secure perfect har mony and insure the success of the democratic state and local tickets. Colonel Strong Officially Notified. Colonel William L.

In accepting the Colonel Strong said: “The of New York for the last si* years have been governed by a corrupt ring of conspira tors that has brought disgrace upon municipal government throughout our land, and the exposition made by the terrific probe of John W. Goff, before the Lexowo committee, has awak ened the good people of the city, re gardless of old party affiliations, to a determined effort to eradicate every vestige of corruption from the city hall. Btamls For Pure Government. “When this is done we will try to es tablish in its stead a government of the people that will guarantee to every citizen full protection in the prosecu tion of his lawful business, without paying tribute to any class of persons levying blackmail, or posing as officers ( of the government. “With unshaken faith in the suffi ciency and permanency of our institu tutions, and having accepted the nomi nation from the different political or ganizations in the city of New York, including the committee of seventy, and adopted their platform, if elected mayor, I will do all iu ray power to give the city a clean, economical and non-partisan administration.” All the members of the committee then shook hands with Colonel Strong and left.

October 23.—Austin Bowles, a street ear driver, forty-seven years old. fell from the high stone stoop in front of his home at No. 208 West Sixth street on September 22 last. IVhen picked up he was unconscious and his breathing was weak. His eyes were closed, his face was pale and to an ordinary observer, who would not I have noticed the faint breathing, he looked like a dead man. An ambu lance surgeon said the man’s neck was broken. He was taken to Roosevelt hospital, and the doctors there confirm ed the opinion of the ambulance sur geon. Bowels’ death was expect ed in a few hours. But he did not die. After two days he recovered conscious ness, but his vitality was still very low.

His wife calls to see him twice a day and he talks about the family affairs and gives her instruc tions whnt to do. He is hopeful and expects to live and even to walk again. HOME AND CHILDREN BURNED. Awful Affliction of the Family of Bishop Taylor’s Sou In Now York. New York, October 23.—A terrible fire occurred at an early hour at South Nyack yesterday destroying the ele gant new residence of the Rev. Ross Taylor, Bishop of Africa, burning to death four of Mr. Taylor’s children and seriously injuring three workmen. Mrs. Taylor first discovered the fire and alarmed her husband, who investigated and found that they were surrounded I by fire. The couple were almost blinded by I the smoke, which was growing more dense every moment, and they saw at once that the most they could attempt would be to get out, and even that seemed Impossible. By hard effort, however, they succeeded in escaping from the building. Then they saw that their property must go and with it their children, whose escape and rescue was cut off. SOMETHING ABOUT DIAMONDS. Their Appearance in the Rough, the Cat ting and Heat Field*. The ruby mirrors the flame of fire, the sapphire reflects the blue of the heavens, the emerald pictures the depth of the sea, but the diamond is a dew drop laden’ with sunbeams, the most paeticcreation of an organic nature, jlvcry inoiueiit it llasliet. a nr.r cslor- - now blue, now red, now royal purple, nqw golden yellow, says Home and Country. In the rough—that Is, just as the etone has been washed out of the clay and broken loose from the ore—a dia mond presents the appearance of a crystal pebble, somewhat pointed at each end. It usually appears to be of a brownish hue but now and again a ray of light will seem to leap from the very heart of the stone. From this rough form of the gem the diamond cutter decides what the shape of the finished jewel is to be. It should be the aim of the diamond cutter to pre serve this octahedral character of the gem. To accomplish this the rough stone is first split or chipped. The operation is a most difficult one, requiring an insight into the character of each individual stone. There are hardly two gems that can be treated in a precisely similar manner. Every diamond has a thorough individuality and must be treated accordingly in order to obtain the best results. The “splitting” is acccmplishcd by fixing the gem in a block of cement, after which the angles must be split off in accordance with the direction of the crystallization. Flaws arc also taken out in this operation and the diamond given its future shape. The diamonds most highly prized are the Indian and Brazilian stones. They are generally of the purest white, the most complete transparency “water” and the most brilliant “fire.” CASTE FOLLOWS THE NOSE. Anthropologist* Bay the Now Tell* the Culture of Man. Anthropology, said Sir William Flow er, is becoming of the highest impor tance in politics. If we take a series of oastes in Bengal, Behar or the northwestern provinces and arrange them in the order of the average nasal index, so that the caste with the finest nose shall be at the top, and that with the coarsest at the bottom of the list, it will bo found that this order sub stantially corresponds with the accepted order of social precedence. The casteless tribes who have not yet entered the Brabmanical system oc cupy the lowest place in both series. The fisher castes are a trifle higher in the scale; the pastoral, the cultivating, and a group of cognate castes—from whose hands a Brahman may take water —follow in due order; and from them we pass to the trading and the landholding classes and the upper crust at Hindu society. Thus it is scarcely a paradox to lay down as a law of the caste organization in Eastern India that a man’s social status varies in inverse ratio to the width of his now. A topical song three thousand years old was sung in a comic opera lately produced in Australia by a traveling Chinese company. The history of this 1 venerable ballad is authenticated by the affirmation of the chief comedian of the troupe, who avers that the song has been sung on the Chinese stage, with the original words and music, since 1000 B. C. A Melbourne critic says the accompanying meiody “con- j •isted partly of a Chinese chopping wood, partly of another Celestial blow ing a bull's horn with horrible intens ity of effort, and partly of a curious stringed instrument, which makes a noise like an infant crying in the Right ’’ JOHNSON’S MONEY TALKS.

WHY DINNER IS LATE. Married Men Agree That It I* Never Ahead of Time. “It is a • curious thing,” said the Grumbler, “that, while I have been keeping house for thirty years and have had my wife tell me a thousand times that dinner avus late, I never oneb knew of u time when dinner was ahead of time. I have made careful Inquiry among my friends (and I have many who have bcov domestic longer titan I) And fdo not find a single ticated case where dinner was ever, at any time or place, ahead of time,” quotes the Buffalo Express. “Five times a. week the cook will do some thing she ought not to do and dinner will be anywhere from five minutes to an hour behind time, butshenever gets under sufficient headway to have the things on the table before the appointed time. I have made this curious and in teresting phase of home life a careful study and I intend to write a pamph let about it.” “I guess you’re right," said the Kick er. “1 am a married man of some few years myself, and I have had the snißO' experience. I may get home an hour earlier than usual and be hungry as three bears, but that does not make a particle of difference. Dinner never comes before six o'clock, which is the scheduled time, 'but very frequently comes much after that time. I hud an old uncle once who noticed the same thing. He was in the house one day and put the clock ahead two hours to see if he couldn’t work the miracle. But the cook fooled him." “Whnt did she do?" asked the Grum bler, eagerly. “She turned on the natural gas be fore she put in the match, and when the fire department got through it was nine o’clock.” ANCIENT STATUARY. Th* Enortnou* Coat of Bom* lllstorla Piece*. The famous Colossus of Rhodes, which has been described so often by gleaners of the curious that the subject is becoming threadbare, cost 300 “tal ents,” a sum equal to about $375,000 in United States currency. This sum is a trifle, however, when compared to the price paid for a colossal of Mercury, which was made for (the Gaulish city of Averni sty Zelodorus. The artist was engaged upon this great work for ten long years, and the total cost to the city would equal $1,775,000. What the gold and ivory statue of Athena, in the Parthenon, or the cele brated “Olympian Zeus," both of which were made by Phidias, cost is not stated by any of the ancient or modern au thorities, but that it was enormous may be inferred from statements made be low: Athena was arrayed in drapery made of pure hammered gold weighing 40 talents. The coin value of this won-, derful drapery at the United States mint to-day would approximate $380,000. Os the Olympian Zeus it has been said that "it vzasfi monster idol of gold and ivory worth more than the cash assets of many modern kingdoms.” The heed of this great image was covered with locks of pure gold, each weighing six minae, or about the value of $£5,000 in modern gold coin.
