A Chance to Make Money.
I have been selling Di-h Wash
ers three weeks, and have cleared
$315. Can any of your readers,
without previous experience, beat
this? In this business a woman
can make as much as a man. Ev
ery fimi ly wants a Dish Washer
when they can he got so cheap,
and they will have one, no matter
who it is that is sell ng it. I am
convinced any one can make from
$5 to $lO a day in this business
anywhere, city or count y. They
all want Dish Washers. You can
get particulars by addressing the
Iron City Dish Washer Co., E. E.
Pittsburg, Pa., and by beginning
at once, you can have enough mon
ey by spring to start in most any
kind of business. I am going to
stick right to this Dish Washer
businees until I make SIO,OOO.

Forbids the Lord’s Prayer.
Ansonia, Conn., December 15. —
Recently some of the pupils in one
of the public schools refused to
participate in the recitation of the
Lord’s prayer in concert, saying
the prayer was not in accord “with
their religeous training. The
Board of Education has therefore
ordered that after this term all re
ligious training be dispensed with.
Yhe Rev W. E.Marwick, a Con
gr'grational ministers, today pub-
Jisherl a letter in which he denounc
ed the board of action. The use of
the player has been universal n

THEIR SALARY FIGURES.
The Governor' Kicked by the
Same Mule While the Chief
Justice is all Broke in
two. The Records
Broken,
Columbia, S. C., December 15.
The lower house of the state legis
lature tonight killed the divorce
bill and then jumped into the con
sideration of the bill making a
horizontal slash of all salaries of
state officers.
After a big fight, the bill was
passed. Some five or six aye and
nay votes were taken on various
amendments. The majority was
really goaded into passing the bill
by arrangements from the opposi
tion that they had been in power
for four years and this matter of
reducing salaries had always been
one of their principal campaign
cries, yet they had not cut salaries
one cent lower than they wer* be
fore they came in.
They even went so far tonight as
to amend the bill by cutting their
own perdiem from $5 to $3 and
their mileage from 10 cents to 5
cents a mile each way. Represen
tative Sanders offered an amend
ment to make it 50 cents per day
and three pounds of bacon and a
peck of mea l per week. It is the
general opinion that the senate
will kill the bill.
One of the reform leaders said
on the floor that if they did not
reduce the salaries and give the
people the relief they demanded
“they were gons.” The highest an •
nual salary provided for by the
bill is $2,200 —the governor’s sala
ry. It has been heretofore fer
years $3,500. The chief justice of
the supreme court comes down
from $4,000 to $2,000.
During the figh‘ th* hall was
jammed with interested specta
tors. Whether the senate will pae«
the Lili or not remains to be seen.
It is thought that Governor Evans
wi'lv. •«-» it even if it becomes an
act. Tn- present governor’s salary
is protected by a onstitutional
provision. The state senate has
killed the bill to estab'ish a blind
asylum and educational institu
tion at the capial of ihe atate.

A Negro Waited for Stealing
a gun was Cnased by Sev
eral Officers Last Night
but he Escaped Eas-
i y.
( Last night about 7 o’clock,
I cries of “stop him! catch him”
etc, soon called a large crowd
around Bridge street.
To start at the begining, about a
week ago Mr. McConnell ‘went out
Nordi of the city to arrest a negro
who was wanted for stealing a pis
tol from another negro. Just who
these parties were none could re
member or at least their names.
Last night a negro came to
policeman Jones and Mr. McCon
nell, and told them that the man
they wanted w is up town abovethe
Martha Battie Hospital.
They sent the darkey up there to
entice the man they wanted down
to Lowry’s corner where they
could get him. In the mean while
the two officers went across by the
fire house.
The negro sent for the other one
instead of doing as directed and
ran towards his man yelling Po
lice, police.
That frighten > I the fellow and
he came down the street like a
rocket. He ran over M onk Tropp,
and rolled him <bout forty feet.
The darkey turned int o Bridge
Street, down West firstand McCon
nell, Jones and McCounel com
menced firing into the air to fright
en their man.
In one half a minute the streets
were filled with a yelling, howling
mob. Deputy Sheriff McConnel <
fired once into the air, and then
he stumbled and fell.
The darkey chased into Fourth
Avenue and disappeared towards
the river where no trace of him
could be found.
The man’s name is not known,
but every officer has a description
of him and he will be arre ted
soon.
