The State House.
There is a determination on the
part OF both branches of the Lcgisa-
ture to prohibit the use of the apart
ments III the State House for balls,
dances or merely social purposes. If
the resolution relating to the subject
shall be passed, we presume that the
South Carolina Club will be compelled
to hire hall. But as tho State
House is liable to suffer far more from
political conventions than from social
gatherings, the bill should be amend
ed so as to shut the politicians out Of
the State House apartments, and re-
serve the building exclusively for the
uses for which it was designed.
Fred. Hicks, the st. Louis weather
prophet, predicts as follows for De-
cembel: Cold, light weather during
the opening days of the month: The
observation indicates II period OF
stormin ess and change from three to
five days with the 9Th as the central
day. Cold days will follow until the
l1th or 18th, when southerly winds
will bring storms. Look for cold and

heavy winter gales and storms.

Capt. Iillman said that if he was

off his coat up about the postoffice
and walk down Main street to the
Capital in his shirt sleeves. If his

Dr. Kraue. the head of the Colonial Department,

Broadly outlined, these proposals are that the cicr

the Congo State, from the northern extremity of
Tanganyika to the Albert Nyanza that Uganda and
British Unyoro shall be neutral ground; and that the
navigation Of the lakes shall be free. The British
