THE OLD BOLTON HOUSE.
An Historic Structure to Give Way to
the Government Building

An Historic Structure to Give Way to
the Government Building.
Mrs. Circopely, the tenant of the "old
Bolton house, on the site for the new gov
ernwent building. moved out yesterday,
and one Of two things will happen to the
venerable structure in a day or two-it
will either be- torn down and rebuilt on
Anderson street by its purchaser, Mr..
Mckinley, or it will be sold to Mrs. Mary
f. Bulloch and removed to the corner of
President, Abercorn and State streets, if
that lady can effect a purchase of the
vacant lot there, for which. it is understood,
she is negotiating.
Mrs. Bunoch was born in the Bolton
house, and is, therefore, very DESTROYS of
effecting its purchase, and to that end has
been given an option on it by Mr.. McGin-
ley.
A MORNING NEWS reporter was shown
through the old house yesterday. Although
about 100 years old, it is said to be one of
the most solid buildings in the city, the
timbers being of hewn pine, and as durable
as when first put in place. Wrought
nails were used in the construction
of the house. The two front
rooms down stairs are very finely finished
in hand-carved work, the mantels being
samples of exquisite work, and the molding
over the DOORS windows and alcove hand
carved. Over the mantelpieces are heavy
panel paintings which age has but family
dimmed, Mr.. Mckinley says that they can
be removed without damage, and if Mrs.
Bulloch cannot purchase the lot she will no
doubt buy the pictures and rived work.

The Beauty Show at Spa.
From the London Globe.

Mary Stevens, the young Viennese lady
with the undoubtedly British name, who
gained the third prize in the Competition
Of the Graces,n at Spa, is in Paris and has
just given very graphic account OF the
show" She is pretty, rose-tinted blonde,
with black eyes. and states that the entries
were twenty-five in number, and that all
the competitors, dressed in ball costume,
went every evening for fortnight TO the
Casino, where they were gazed at by people
who had paid francs for the privilege. in
the center of the competitors was placed
the beautiful Fatima, who was ''out of
the running" and at her feet were all her
swarthy attendants Mademoiselle or
Fraulein Stevens was, on the whole, glad to
be able to compete, although she found it
fatiguing to sit out the show. She evil
IDENTIFY views Mile. Debroza, who was
awarded the second prize with considerable
jealousy. She says that 'the Debroza"
lacks distinction, and obtained the honor
simply because she was only 10, was
Belgian, and had influential friends.
Here is verbatim report of this Viennese
lady's description of the other competitors
who did not obtain high prizes, and of the
grand finale of the show: THE prlze-win-
ners apart, all the rest were not only
hideously ugly, but bad tempered and ILL
bred. You cannot imagine how thev be-
haved when the names of the most success
full competitors were read out. The scene
was indescribable There were groans, and
shrieks, and imprecations. When we the
winners) received our bouquets, the Others
rushed at us like wild beasts; snatched our
nosegays out of our hands, and trampled on
them. Somebody spat upon the dress of
Mile. Soukares-the Guadeloupe girl-who
got the first prize, and Mile. Villain, who
obtained the last or fourth prize, whacked
me with her fan and cut my arm. She had
to be elected from the place by the police.
and Nine. Soukares and l had to fly
literally for our lives" NJ. Soukares, the
brother of the Guadeloupe beauty, who is
also in Paris, stated that his sister only con-
sented to compete owing to the pressing
solicitations of friends and that then she
was entered under an assumed name. So
ended the famous "Spa Beauty Show of
the year of grace 1888.

"The Mighty Dollar" To Night.

Tonight Mr.. and Mrs. Florence will ap-
pear in THE Mighty Dollar" The play,
like "The Streets of New York" has been
now as it was decade ago. The Nel0s and
Courier says of Monday nights perform
ance in Charleston: "There was possibly, in
fact probably, not one of the numerous as
sembage. at the Academy of Music who
saw The Mighty Dollar" who will not adj
NIT that 1T is by very large majority p.
ID. q play. Being so old, so popular, so
well known, it is least of all necessary to
carry our Goals to Newcastle in tell
ing the public what it is. 1t is, however,
worthy Of special note that Mr.. and
Mrs. W. j. Florence grow mere intensely
interesting as they grow older on the stage.
Each of the stars was handsomely received
when they appeared first in their roles and
applause and recognition Of their merit was
continued throughout the evening. The
only regret that could possibly have arisen
in the mind of the audience was that Mr..
Woolf did not add few more acts to his
very delightful and equally famous comedy.
Mr.. Florence is a comedian of the first rauk,
and Mrs. Florence stands in the same place.
They are two eccentricites of the first mag
nitude. There is no buffoonery in the in
depreciation of the Hon. Bardwell Slote 1t
is comedy, pure and simple, with a single
lapse from the lines of the role. Mrs. Flor
ence's Mrs. Gen. Gilfory was artistic to a
degree. 1t is quite an easy character to
spoil" by the least bit of over-acting; but
the impression left on the mind after her
superb rendition of the part is just the same
as one would have after looking upon an
original painting. Perhaps 1t is not too
much praise to say that the idea would be
that one had seen the subject of the original
painting

WHAT PROTECTED INDUSTRIES DO.
Protected industries, said the speaker,
have exported only $ll4,OO0,0 900, unpro-
tected industries $6l5, 100000.
As to tho aggregation of wealth, owing
to the unjust tariff, he showed that while,
in the past ten years, capital in the iron in
dustry had increased 50 per cent, and the
products 70 per cent, wages Lave been re-
duced over % per cent. That was on pro-
tected article. On unprotected articles
labor got greater proportion, amounting
to about so per cent. on bale of cot
ton, while labor on protected articles gets
only IS per cent. This $3.50, 0OO, 900 raised
annually does not 60 to the farmer or the
laborer. Carnegie gets 100000 Of it; the
Edgar Thompson steel works get so much
that they refused to give their figures TO a
congressional committee The poor man
does not get IL, but the protected barons
who have $4,000 cooks $4,000 BARRIERS,
$4,000 flowers for their bathrooms and
sl,400 fagstones are getting it. They
have a good thing, and they hate to
turn il loose. He closed in an eloquent
peroration TO the young democracy, whom
he was selected to represent on the electoral
ticket, reviewing the work he had done in
the canvass, and pictured an era OF pros
perity for the south under an administra-
ton pledged to lift the burdens from the
people, which he said twill bring TO our
homes the blessings of content, the
bright inspiration Of hope for the south,
going forth to grand future, with song
OF victory on her lips"

HOGGISH COMBINE.

A Hog Trust Reported to be the Latest
Scheme of the Packers.
ST. LOUIS. Dec. 6.-Rumor gained ground
yesterday in this city that gigantic COM
bine of all the hog packers of the West W as
in course of formation; that the packers of
Chicago were engineering the deal, and
were arranging to take in all packing
houses at ST. Paul, Des Moines, Sioux
City, Omaha, Kansas City, st. Louis and
Cincinnati. The Des Moines, Omaha and
Kansas City houses are largely owned by
the Chicago syndicate said to be conduo t.
ing the negotiations. The story has it's origin
in the sale by the East ST. Louis Packing
Company, branch Of the Chicago Pack
ing Company, of the entire plant at East
st. Louis, with a capacity of 2 500 head a
day to Crossman & Savage, said to rep
resent the trust. 1t is alleged that Fran
els Whitaker g. Sons, the only ether
packing establishment here, was invited
to join the combine. but declined on the
ground that they had brands which were
known and that they, had nothing to gain
by the change. 1t is rumored further that
the same men who are in the dressed beef
pool are in this and that the combine will
have an oleomargarine mandatory as a
side issue.

A Blessing in Disguise.

Good out of evil found pretty illus
tration in the case of Hawthorne's re-
moval from Office. He was crushed by
the blow. and staggered to HIS humble
home full of bitter disappointment.
No one knew him then as one of our
greatest-yes, the worlds greatest
men of genius. His wife quietly left
the room, says Conway, then came
back with an armful of wood. kindled
a cheerful fire, drew his chair up to
his desk. brought papers, pens and
ink, and then, turning to him with a
beaming face, said: ''Now you can
write your book" The result was
Scarlet Letter." and such fame as no
novelist in America before or since has
attained. It was all due to his noble
wife. Had she repined and added to
his burden, the world would never
have known Hawthorne.-St.L Louis
