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. MATILDA B. 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.

THEY ARE LULUS 'TheCarolina legislature Ampu tates About Half of ———— ■ - - -. 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.

I “ 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. The Literary Club.
