ST. Paul has new electric railway Oh
novel construction. Its cars are suspended
In mid air from T.shaped trestel construc-
ton, uLon a single track, which carries the
electrical current to the motor with which
each Car is supplied. The motors are
placed directly on the shafts of the driving
wheels over the cars. II is represented
that on the recent trials of the system the
cars. heavily laden, started off easily up a
ten per cent grade, turning sharp curves,
were stopped and started again promptly
and with ease. There was hardly sound,
no dust or dirt of any kind, and, the cars
being swung some fourteen feet from the
pavement, no interference with ordinary
street travel beyond the small inconven-

The Red Bandnnna.
Hsrk! hear, the winds are signing,
And gathering force afar
Into the valleys hieing,
Soon TO rend the clouds NJ ar.
See, as the sun is passing
And lighting the mountain crests,
How he frowns at the 'yrants msssing
Down meath the eagles nests.
Hush! hear the wild contention
And the various mingling tone;
They are like great convention
OF men from several zones.
The North and South are battling
For supremacy and sway,
And the East and West winds battling
Each one to gain his way.
Til the encounters over,
Not q sound the silence breaks;
A whisper that sounds like Grover
Is passing Ger rivers and lakes.
The winds have gathered their forces
Into one stupendous whole,
And crouching down in their sources
To sweep from pole to pole.
See, too, the sun is setting,
And has donned his carmine coat,
And the spire.topped hill is fretting
As we'll as the valley and moat.
The storm, it comes now roaring
Like the sound from thousand throats
And into the hesves soaring
And fierce Ger the land its floats.
Stopl for there is no anger
In the voice that is coming here,
None Of the fret and danger
Ola tempest we should fear;
But like shout Of gladness
II echoes from hill to hill,
Dispelling doubt and sadness
And hearts with joy now fill.
Hark! It's the great hosanna
OF . nations trusted men,
'Tjs the sign Of The Red Bnndanna
Waving on hill and glen.
Emblem Of all most cherished
Ina pure and noble life,
Flag that has never perish,d
Standard Of peaceful strife.

The meaning Of the word bandanns, &C
oording to Mr.. Noah Webster, in his well
known work on the subject, is "a species Of
silk or cotton handkerchief, having uni.
formly dyed ground usually Of red or blue,
with white figures of circular or lOzenge
form made by discharging the color" This
Ia is discredited by the various dealers who,
with all due regard to Mr.. Webster's idea
OF bandannas, declare .hat he is partly wrong
because there is not now and never was
such q thing as cotton bandanna. This
statement may cause a few pangs Of sadness

who have invested in a FIVE cent cotton ker

The genuine bandinna of the old school is
made Of silk, in three colors, red, blue and
yellow, with the different color combina

tysix to thirty three inches square, and are
sold at retail at from Too to 81 rs each. The
goods in immense quantities are used by the
Dutch peasant women, as head covering and
slso in Italy. The missionaries also use
enormous quantities in Africa and other
countries where unoivilized people are found

Immense quantities were donated to the red

A Pathetic Story.

No death that has occurred in New
York in years has been more pathetic
than that of the blind newsdealer, Tom
Donohue, which occurred last Saturday
night-self-inficted though it was. A
good, honest workman, he lost his eyes
nearly twenty years ago. To keep soul
and body together he sold newspapers at
little stand at the corner Of Fourth
avenue and Thirty-second street. He
could tell his newspapers by the feel,
and the skill with which he made change
wa, a marvel. When he felt sufficiently
prosperous he wooed and won girl who
had been blind from birth. In their
atfiiction they were happy and as con-
tented, perhaps, as most people. A
month ago the wife fell Ill and was sent
to the hospital. Blind Tom struggled
on. He had saved about $500, which he
hid in the stove-pipe in his room in
Fourth avenue. Last week the blizzard
worried and depressed him. Then some
body built fire in his room when he was
absent and the fortune in the stove-pipe
vanished. Poor Tom, lonely, discour-
aged and aweary, took the strap which
had so often served him in carrying his
newspapers, tied il about bis neck, and
suspending himself to transom passed
out into the darkness beyond the land of
sorrow. A stricken wife and poor lit
tie dog which used to lead him back and
forth from his news stand are disconso-
late. Poor Tom!-New York World.

Without Food for Thirty-nine Days.

M. George Allen. who for many years
has lived at Montmorenci died on Sun
day evening last at s o'clock from starva-
tion, having gone without a particle of
food for thirty days. We under
stand he had been great sufferer fer q
long time with a complaint of the stom-
ach and everything he ate gave him in
tense pain. He would take no medicine
and taking a notion that he could starve
the disease out, he commenced to fast
taking nothing but water for thirty
seven days nothing else entered his
stomach. On the thirty-seventh day he
became unconscious and his family COM
menced to give him stimulants and food
in very small quantities, but it was too
late. he died two days later, or just
thirty mine days from the commencement
Of the fast. Mr.. Allen thought that by
fasting 40 days he could starve out the
disease, but he miscalcuIated on his
powers of endurance. He was about go
years OF age; YVES al intelligent and well
educated man and his neighbors speak in
tLe highest terms of him as friend and
neighbor. Journal.

? resolutions were offered by the executive

resolutions were offered by the executive
committee:
We, the farmers of Orangeburg coun
ty, in convention assembled, believing
that the introduction of more progres
sive and economical mode of farming il
the only remedy for the depression of the
agricultural interests of our State; and
convinced that the same can only be re-
allied by the education of our youth in
the science of agriculture, and the ex
perience of the past having demonstrated
that such knowledge cannot be acquired
in an institution devoted to mixed itera
ry and agricultural courses; therefore,
be it resolved.
/. That we reiterate our conviction
that separate agricultural and mechan,
ical college is imperatively demanded in
our State, and we pledge ourselves to 6
continuance of the most earnest efforts
to establish the same.
2. That we regard the recommends
ton Of the board of trustees Of the South
Carolina University for the enlargement
of the annex as an acknowledgment OF
GlS COIIcCbueSS VI LuS CuGlSG VI III
efficiency of that adjunct of the institu-
tion, and We refer to their report of nine
students taking an agricultural course
out of an attendance of 1G5 as coofrma-
tory of our opinion.
3. That the action Of the Legislature
in enlarging the annex and increasing
the appropriation therefor was useless
expenditure, and We dredict for the new
school a repetition of the ignoble failure
of the old.
The resolutions were thoroughly dis
cussed.
An able essay on the subject of sup
porting a separate agricultural institu-
ton was read by DR.. W. T. G. Bates.
The resolutions were adopted seriatim,
there being only one dissenting vote.
and were ordered to be published in the
county papers.
A resolution was offered and unani-
mously adopted, thanking DR.. McBryde
for his able, scholarly and chaste ad-
dress.

Terrible sceues-Eighteen People Burned
to Death-A Genuine Pandcmonium.
CElAYA, MEXICO, April 5.-Sundsy
afternoon, about o'clock, the bull ring
here, while crowded with spectators, was
set on fire by several prisoners who were
witnessing the fight under guard. A
panic seized the vast assemblage and a
frightful loss of life resulted. Eighteen
lives were lost by persons being burned
to death, while others were so badly
burned they will probably die. Two
hundred others were more or less burned,
bruised, trampled upon by the crowd
and tossed by the naaddened bulls, which
escaped from the pens into the crowd.
Many women and children jumped from
the upper side of the ring, distance of
twenty to thirty feet, and were hurt,
some seriously. Among the dead are
two women, gored to death by the bulls
and afterward burned, who have been
taken from the ruins. The scenes were
siekening ones. Many persons lost their
reason from the mental shock. In the
confusion the prisoners, who bad set the
ring on fire, made their escape.
The best society of Gelaya was in at
tendance. 1t was Easter Sunday, the
return Of the season of gayety after Lent.
An unusual number of ladies and little
children were present and were sufferers.
No man lost his life, the helpless little
ones and their mothers, who would not
desert their offspring, being the victims.

A TERRIBLE "YARMINT."
How Mysterious Animal Is Playing
Havoc in Anderson.

| Havoc in Anderson.
A correspondent of the Anderson In
teligencer writing from the vicinity of
Deep Creek Grange Hall, says Of
strange creature now creating sensa-
ton there:
Some time during Thursday, the 29th
ult., at Mr.. W. L. Davis's it killed and
eat a pup, about two or three months
old, and was seen by Mr.. Davis, who
describes it as looking very much like
dog. Thursday night it was seen by
Mr.. A. P. Quales at his hourse, and it
appeared to want to pass through the
door into the house, but was prevented
by Mr.. Quales shutting the door. He
says it is very pretty animal, and that
it has dark colored body, erect ears
and q bushy tail. Mr.. r. NJ. Quales
saw it in day time at some distance, and
describes it as above. During Thursday
night it visited the residence of W. B.
Martin, where it killed one pig and fear
fully mangled another one larger than
the one killed. We were shown the one
that was torn, and found both ears torn
off close to the head, and all the skin
and flesh goce from the eyes to the end
of the nose, except the very tip OF the
nose. We also were shown quite num-
Der of the tracks made by the thing
while after the pigs, and found them
closely resembling dog track. Don't
think one person in a hundred could
detect any difference. On Friday morn
ing it was at Mr.. S. c. Georges, where
it attacked a calf but did no damage. 1t
was seen by Mr.. Tom Rice while at Mr.
Georges. It has also been seen by Mr..
". A. McGill, VIM. Davis, B. B. Davis
and Mrs. B. B. Barnet, so We are In
formed. Mr.. b. II. Gray informs us
that during the wet weather five puppies
on his plantation were eaten one night.
and supposed to have been done by the
same thing. 1t is generally supposed to
be wolf or something closely allied to
the dog tribe by its resemblance to
dog to such marked degree. Mr.. W.
A. G. McWhorter adjourned his road
hands Friday evening and hunt was
made for it, participated in by twenty
five or thirty citizens, armed with guns,
pistols, rocks and sticks, but the hunt
was unsuccessful. Nearly everybody
goes armed, and night travel is almost
thing of the past. A feeling of unrest
pervades the community.
