The Editor of The Charleston News and
Courier Meets q VioleEt Death.
CHARLESTON, S. c., March 13.-Capt.
F. w. Dawson, of The News and Courier,
was found dead in the office of DIR. F. b.
Mellow, at $50 o'clock last evening. At
that hour DIR. Mellow walked into the
police station and gave himself up, with
the statement that Capt. Dawson was ly-
ing dead in his office. Mellow vouch-
safed no explanation.
1t has been learned that Capt. Dawson
recently became suspicious that young
girl employed in his house as nurse for
his children was having improper rela-
tions with men. Last week he called
upon the chief of police and asked that a
detective be detailed TO shadow the girl
for few days and let him know what,
if anything, he discovered. Capt Daw-
son stated that if she were being honora-
bly, courted he would have no objection
to make, but that if she were not stsictly
moral he did not want his children to be
in her care.
On Monday morning detective saw
the nurse girl get on a Rutledge avenue
car. After proceeding "A few blocks she
was joined by DIR. Mellow. The detec-
tive followed the pair and kept track of
them and their stopping places for sew
eral houses and submitted a report in
writing to the chief of police, who in
turn communicated its details this morn
ing to Capt. Dawson. Capt. Dawson left
his office at $3.50 O'Clock in the afternoon
and was found dead at $50 p. m. in DIR.
McDow's office, not 100 yards from his
own residence. His face was badly
beaten and bullet was lodged in his
heart. In the absence of any positive
knowledge it is supposed that he went
to DIR. McDow's office and demonstrated
with him about his conduct with the
nurse girl and that they became engaged
in quarrel which resulted in the shoot
ing. Mellow then left his office and
wandered about until $50, when he APP
peared at the police station. DIR. Mellow
is married man and the father of sew
eral children. ~.
The city is in a.-frenzy of excitement
and the police station was surrounded by
an immense crowd of people. Threats
of fynching were freely INDUCED in, but
Mellow was safely taken to JAIL He
was escorted by strong guard of blue
coats. There was even talk of storming
the jail after the prisoner had been in
carcerated, but the building is strong
enough to defy assault aud no danger is
apprehended.

NEW YORK, March 13-The Suns
Washington special says: "At the last
meeting of the cabinet it is reported ON
pretty good authority that Mr.. Blaine
showed his list of foreign appointments
to Mr.. Harrison and asked the nomina-
tions to be at once made. In addition to
the names of Mr.. Reid and Mr.. Phelps,
he asked for the nominations of Allen
Thorndyke Rice as minister to Germany.
President Harrison is said to have looked
at the list for n moment, and at first,
with some show of Difference and cour-
tesy, to have given Mr.. Blaine an oppor-
tunity to withdraw his request. The sec
retary of state insisted that the nomina-
tons be decided upon. The president
gave the first indication of his determi-
nation that where MacGregor sits, there
is the head of the table. He is said to
have refused to make the nomination of
Mr.. Reid on that day and gave as his
reason that he had decided on another
mau for the place. He also said that il
MIR. Reid would accept the nomination
for another mission he would very
glally name him for one. In regard to

make his nomination, as requested: but

WILL FILLER Fight?
That Is the Question That Is
Agitating Philadelphians.
The MAYOR WANTS RECOGNITION.
His Friends Assert That His Services
During the Campaign Entitle
Him to Share of the
Patronage.

PHILADELPHIA. March 13-According
TO the talk upon the streNt. Mayor Filter
and other prominent business men who
contributed generously to assist in the
election OF President Harrison do not in
te I'D TO he set aside without as much as
recognition for the part they bore in the
contest
1t is alleged that but for the substan-
tial aid rendered 10y the business men of
the country, particularly of those of this
city who led the way in organizing an
advisory committee, Chairman Quay and
l.is colleagues of the national Republican
committee would not have been able to
prosecute a successful campaign. 1t is
said the outlook at one time was exceed
ingly blue. The committee was without
funds and they had n0way of obtaining
any. The work was great and the plans
mapped out could not be acted upon
without money. Then, according to the
story told, Senator Quay visited this city
and called upon Mayor Filter at the lat
ter's place of business. The national
chairman was in a dilemma. He couldn't
do anything without help, but the most
pressing need was money.
The interview over, not many days
elapsed before Mayor Filter determined
what to do. The senator had presented
the whole case. and it was known to the
former that the campaign couldn't be
prosecuted upon mere wind. Money
was needed TO meet the expenses. The
mayor quietly sent out notes to a few
leading business men inviting them to
meet him for the purpose of devils
ing means TO aid the national COM
mittee in the prosecution of the can
vass. His honor stated when the con-
ference assembled that funds were neces-
aary, and he set the ball rolling by head
ing a subscription list with a most gem
erous amount. Others followed adding
their names with big sums. Then the
mayor gave the matter of raising money
for the campaign his attention, and it is
known that through his efforts quite a
large amount was realized. Nobody knew
il at the time. but nearly all of the money
raised in Philadelphia for the presiden-
tial campaign passed through his hands,
and it is said by those who know whereof
they speak that he has in his possession
the receipts for every penny paid over
to the treasurer of the national committee.
The mayor and his friends feel they
have done much to insure success, and
from the whisperings heard they do not
propose being set aside without just rec
ognition.
1t is known that his honor would like
TO see President William M. Smith, Of
common council, made postmaster and
if he can bring it about he will leave
nothing undone TO accomplish it. The
mayor has said that Senator Quay and
Postmaster General Wanamaker are
aware of the part he took in the cam
paign. From all this it viii be seen the
business men are likely to make them
selves heard in the matter of filing the
| federal Offices

RACHAEL STILLWAGGON-SARA ROTHSCHILD
In Chicago, for instance, The Herald's re-
porters have hunted down some very inter-
esting old folks, including Augustine Deodat
Taylor, aged "a, and Sarah Rothschild, aged
1Ol-these two the Oldest in the city. There,
as elsewhere, old women are more numerous
than old men.
Mrs. Rothschild was born May %, 17SS, in
Hesse-D armstadt, Germany, and to this day
knows no language save German and He
brew. She married Joseph Rothschild, and
of her two daughters the oldest, Mrs. Simon
Raber, of Milwaukee, came to America soon
after marriage. Thirty-nine years ago Mr..
Rothschild died and then the widow and her
remaining daughter followed the other to
America and finally located in Chicago. The
second daughter, Mrs. Levi Lebolt, is grand
mother, yet the old lady is still in firm health
and active habits and bids fair to live many
years longer. The family have prospered In
Chicago, and so the old lady has nothing to
trouble her. She is devout and orthodox
Israelite and observes the sacred days of the
race with extreme care, the feasts quite as
fully as the fasts. She has all the old Ger
man ways, likes a glass Of Rhine wine and
partakes freely Of it, is fond Of music and
good company and eats good food with rel
ish. Her particular adherence is Napoleon
Bonaparte, and she still relates with some
thing like indignation the miseries of Ger
many during his campaigns
The Psychologists have not been very sue
cessful in discovering the causes of prolonged
life, as they seem negative rather than posi-
tive. II you are not killed or rapidly worn
out, you will live a long time-that's about
all there is in it, And so it is with Mrs.
Rothschild. She has never been seriously
sick and never needed the attention Of doc
tor. On one point all old people agree-they
did not fret. All were Of cheerful natures.
Heredity, of course, has great deal to do
with it. Therefore, first get good constitu-
ton from your parents; then take comfort
and don't fret, and your chances are Of the
best.
At Flushing, L. l., lives Mrs Rachel Still
Wagon, who reached her 104th birthday few
days since. She is the daughter Of Stephen
and HannahlAcker, of Tarrytown, N Y, at
the time Of her birth, and her life record is
much like that Of other very old women-that
is, she was naturally cheerful, lived fairly
well, took great deal Of exercise and had no
accident or serious sickness. When IL years
old she went to New York city to live, and
saw the metropolis grow from Canal street
to Harlem. In 1S4l she married David Still
Wagon, a carpenter, and seven children were
born to them, of whom son and two daugh-
tiers only survive.
The remarkable fact about Mrs. Stillwaggon
is that she looks far more youthful than old
ladies who are really more vigorous than she.
She looks at least twenty-five years younger
than she is, but is afflicted somewhat with
rheumatism and walks with difficulty. Her
sight is much impaired and her hearing
slightly so, but her mind is clear as ever.

chief delight is to examine their mechanism.
He has ruined about dozen watches and
alarm clocks in taking them apart and try
ing to put them together again; however, he
has at last become quite proficient watch
tinkerer.
Some years ago the French government
sent mitrailleuse in charge Of Mr.. Chefneux
as a present to the king. The weapon was
taken to pieces, compactly packed, and
reached its destination several days ahead Of
the traveller Menelk had carefully studied
Che mechanism Of firearms, and, to Mr.. Chef
neux's great establishment, he found that the
king, with the aid Of a picture of mitrail-
leuse, had properly put together and mount
ID the weapon.
Menelik's kingdom includes not only the
domain Of the late King John, but also his
own country, where he had an army of 1OO,-
900 men. About one-fourth Of them carry
improved arms. He does not like missiona-
ries. and in 1885 he practically imprisoned
two Swedish missionaries in his chief town
for ten months and then sent them back to
the coast He has since expelled all the
French Catholic and German missionaries
from his dominion.

THE FIRST CHURCH OF QUINCY.


Two notable sermons were preached by the
pastor, Rev. John Hancock at the compile
ton Of the first century Of the churchs ex-
istence. A century later Rev. William p
Lunt preached two able discourses, and at
the forenoon service hymn written for the
occasion by Hon. John Quincy Adams, then
an ex-president Of the United States, was
sung. Authorities differ somewhat as to
whether the present church is the third or
fourth to be occupied by the old society. 1t
can be put down as very probable that the
little "stone chaple" was the original church.
The date of the building of this edifce is
uncertain, but it Is known to have been
standing as early as 1910. 1t had no pews,
except such as were built by individuals from
time to time. There were seats, however,
but the men sat apart from the women. The
hour for beginning service was announced by
beating drum and an hour glass stood be-
side the pastor to warn him when his time
was up. Church going in those times was
serious matter, the services occupying the
greater part Of the day. On March II, 172S
or 1879, twenty shillings were voted to Joseph
Parmenter as payment for keeping dogs out
of the church on the Sabbath. March 80,
1870, the town paid the same Joseph Parmen-
ter twenty shillings for clearing cart loads
of snow from inside the church A new
wooden church was erected and dedi-
Gated in 1882 In 1905 it was con-
siderably enlarged. On April Q, 1897,
ground was broken for the present edifice.
The corner stone was laid on June IL, 1897,
the principal address being made by the
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Whitney. The church was
dedicated Nov. 10, 1928, Rev. Messrs. Gray,
Brooks Lowell, Whitney and Porter taking
part in the eI srcises The church is Of gran
tie, with pediment in front supported by
four massive Doric pillars. It contains 1876
pews, twenty-five of which are in the gallery.
The total cost was about f35, 900.
