A friend Of mine drinks great deal of water

the period OF dark nights he drinks none at all
This habit If 1t can be called such, is involuntary
and It was unconscious until my friend made the
discovery that the change OF the moon had some
thing to do with his thirst Another friend informs
me that during the past two months he has
touched no water at all, except such as may be

not opposed to water. He has simply had no de-
sire for IT during the past two months
Still, another friend drinks water copiously
especially at meal times. AT dinner for example
he has twO-gall0n pitcher at his elbow and
during his meal he drinks as many as ten o,
twelve gooets fun OF this harmless fluid. This Is
opposed OF course, to the theories OF the doctors
as almost every other sensible thing is. but my

his dinner, Is not only fat, but robust. He does

Col. Moore, the new CHIEF OF police, spent the

siderable portion OF his time in opening q rather
voluminous mall made up mostly OF letters Of con-

AN ATR0CIOUs MURDER IN South CAROLINA LEADS
TO An ALARMING REVELATION.
Great excitement prevails in York county, S. c.,
over the brutal murder OF John Lee Good. white
boy twelve years old, the son OF william Good,
one OF the leading farmers OF that section. A
wholesale lynchfng OF negroes is momentarily en-
pected. cries OF distress were heard about sun.
down one evening last week In q cotton field adj.
joining Mr.. Goods residence A negro boy
FASTENED in the direction OF the cry, followed by
Mrs. Good and her little daughter. They found
John Lee Good lying in a water furrow I'm q sense
less condition, his skill crushed, his mouth
knocked In and his body bruised. He was carried
covering consciousness.
The coroner instituted an investigation. Cir.
cumStanceS pointed TO Nose Upscomb, Dan Rob-
erts, Bailey Dowdie and Print Thompson, all
colored. as the guilty parties and they were COM
mitted TO Jail The theory OF the Investigation
was that some OF these negroes had been detected
BY the murdered boy in the act OF stealing bas-
ket OF cotton from his fathers field, and to pre-
vent detection they killed him, intending to throw
his body into Broad river, only 200 yards distant
They were thwarted in this by the approach of
the people from the house. The theory proved
correct, Tor Print and Dan made o confession, i'm.
plfcattng Nose and Bailey as accessories. The
men also said that there Is combination Of about
forty negroes In that neighborhood pledged that n
either one Is caught In the act Of stealing, they
are TO kill the person 80 detecting them. This
admission has led TO large number OF additional
arrests, and serious trouble ID apprehended.

How He Got Rid Of an Office.seeker.
From the Pttsbure Dispatch
Attorney General Cassidy ct one time was An
noyed very much by people soliciting his influence
In securing favors at the state capital. His pa.
thence was tried beyond further endurance one
morning, and he resolved to resort to q piece or

who troubled him. A man soon afterward entered
his Office, and, introducing himself, said:
'Mr. Cassidy, believe that II can secure the
favor OF your influence"
what favor?" interrupted Mr. Cassidy, staring
at the man.
''There is q vacancy up at the capitol
What capitol?" Mr.. Cassidy again interrupted.
"Why," calculated the man, catching his breath,
''the state capitol"
"What slater"
By this time the callers eyes were beginning to
bulge out On his cheeks, and his astonishment was
Increased by the Wild stare OF Mr.. Cassidy
You misapprehend me, guess, he began, and
he shifted his chair closer.
"What gueSS?"
81 guess you are crazy" said the man, warming
up land IN not trouble you. Good morning"
What morn1ng?" whispered Mr.. Cassidy, as II
his energies were completely exhausted.
"You go to the d. Will you? / guess you
haven't got any influence, anyhow"
"What-"
But the man slammed the door after him ana
didn't hear the roar OF laughter that followed his
departure.
