One of his old neighbors succumbed
to the disease, anG Hines made up
his mind that his turn would come
next. Accordingly he armed himself
with mattock and shovel, selected a
spot on his farm which he thought
suitable for bis eternal resting place
and proceeded to dig his grave both
wide and deep. After this he talked
in nonchalant manner about TIE obse'

a little longer, because, as ne expires

LITTLE CHILD POISONED.

The son of MIR. w. G.. Bradley Poisoned
and Killed With Concentrated LYc.
Columbia Record.
Yesterday, though seemingly very
quiet, Sabbath, witnessed horrible
death from poisoning in this city, and
the case is doubly horrifying, from the
fact that the poison may have been ad
ministered, thaagh--how the child re-
ceived the deadly poison is yet mys-
terry.
The Child was plying in back room
with its nurse, who was small colored
girl, about 10 years old, the whole of
yesterday morning and was as we'll and
happy az it lad ever been. 1t is little
boy, about one year and half old, and
is the son of Mr. W. G. Bradley. Moth
ing unusual happened until the mother
heard q scream from the child IN the
room about o'clock, and rushing into
the room where it was playing, she
found 1t on the floor, with its lips and
mouth horribly swollen aud utteriog
heartreuding cries. She at once made
every effort in her power to alleviate the
little ones suferings, quickly summon
ing physicians. In very short while
Drs. ralley and Sylvester arrived and
made every effort known to medical
scicn, to save the life of the little boy,
bnt their efforts were in vain, for the
child died just before 2 o'clock, after
suffering most intensely.
There was no concentrated lye IN the
room, so the mother states, and the only
box 10 the house was locked up in a
closet 10 the room, entirely out of the
reach of the little one. Hence, suspicion
point, to the nurse, as she was the only
Que in the room with the boy at the
time, and when the scream was heard
she was outside. There was no lye
found on its hands, and bow it procured
the deadly stuff is yet mystery.

George W. Vanderbilt, the young

Vanderbilt, is determined, in addition
to his well-known palace in New
York, to have the most magnificent
private park and the lordliest country
estate in America. To that end he
has recently bought at a cost of $780,
900 nearly 5000 acres lying just out

one-third larger than your magnif-
cen Fairmount part. about one-third

pairing the plans for lordly pleasure
house, like an old style French cha
teau, which will cost an additional
$4OO,0 900.
His model stables, which will be
scattered over the 5000 acres, for the
purpose of housing thousands of hor,

THE WAR ON THE TRUST.

Cotton Covers for COTTON VeIsus Jute

News and Courier
Persistence in any cause is to be adj
mired, but when the cause is a good
one admiration rises to height far
above ordinary. During the past two
months very little has been said about
the Jute Trust and cotton bagging.
The cotton men have ceased to fear
trouble across the water, and the plan

product of the trust, and has stuck
close by Alliance bagging where he
could get it, and when the supply at

A glance at the drays on the street,
at the cotton in the compress sheds or
warehouses, will show there has been
no very great diminution ofthe amount
of Alliance bagging used, and despite
the fact that so much apprehension
was caused by its use in the early part
of the season, no harm 10 any one has
yet resulted. The shippers have had
no cotton refused on the other side of
the water, and while some has had to
be recovered, the cases were not more
numerous than ordinarily occur with
jute.
The indications, judging from the re-
ports from various parts of the State,
are that the Alliance is Lying low''

NEGROES DO SNEEZE.

,nr superstition.
PHILADELPHIA, December 3l.-The
sneezing part ofthe system ofinfuenza
gives rise to a remarkable question.
A statement has been published in a
leading New York paper, that negro
cannot sneeze. With view of ascer-
tanning the opinions OF prominent
physicians on this subject, several of
the leading do,tors o. this city were
seen by a dispatch correspondent to-
day. Here are few of their opin-
ions:
DR.. C. T. Newgarden, of the Jetfer-
son Medical hospital, stated that he
was certain negroes could sneeze. He
had both heard them and seen them
many time.
Dr.. Joseph Hearn was equally posi-
tive. He said he had beer practicing
medicine for eighteen years, and du-
ring all tnat time negroes had been
sneezing the same as white people. DR..
Da Costa and DR.. J. William White
were rather uon-committal. Il can't
saw said the tormer, "as l have never
seen any report on the question"
while DIR. White remarked that no
case of the kind had ever come under
his personal experience.
sir. Howard, a colored man. Is a
graduate of Harvard and a regular
licensed practitioner. He SAID that If
his visitor had come two minutes ear
lier, he would have had the pleasure
of seeing and hearing q full-blooded ne
gro sneeze. DR.. Howard added that
at present he is treating two cases OF
influenza among colored patients, and
that they sneeZed constantly. Dr.
Potter, another colored practitioner,
agreed fully with the opinion express
ed by his colleague. He stated that
he had an old mother, cat, and
dog, and that all Of these had been
observed to sneeZe, both IN chorus
and solo parts. IF the dog sneezed
first. the cat soon followed, and his
mother was sure then to sneeZe her
self
Gilbert a. Ball, the well'known col
ored statesman, was next called upon.
He said: 1.-THE races arc now so close
" blended together that there is very
| little difference. If the colored peo>
p!e as race really dc sneeze it perhaps
comes easier to them on account OF TIE
broad, open shape of their nostrlls. buS

GRATITUDE.
WAY Ge cral Jones Loved Jefferson On
Wis.

WAY Ge cral Jones Loved Jefferson On
Wis.
New York Tribune.
Many people are specializing as to
the reason which induced the Hon.
George W. Jones, ex-senator from
Iowa, tc travel South so hurriedly, at
his advanced age, to visit the late
Jefferson Davis before his death. A
friend of mine thinks he can furnish
the reason.
When Mr.. Jones, he says, first
came to Washington, AS Senator-elect
from Iowa, he found himself although
a man of means, to be what is known
as s'landpoor'' for brief season, hav-
ing good deal of money tied up in
temporary unproductive lands. Hear
ing that Mr.. Davis was in town be
called to see his old friend. Mr.. Da-
Wis received the Senator-elect most
kindly. In the course of conversation
Mr.. Jones mentioned his temporary
embarrassment stating that he had a
note for $4,000 to meet, and that he
thought his host, being better acquain-
ted in Washington than he, could in
troduce him to some broker from
whon-having good security to offer
he could secure loan at short date.
To his visitors amazement Mr.. Da-
Wis whipped out mis- pocket book, took
from it a blank check, which he filed
ont for the $4,000, and handed it to
him with many expressions of pleas
ure that he was able to oblige q
friend. Thereupop Senator Jones:
after thanking his host very warmly
for his generosity, asked for a sheet OF
paper. wrote out a note OF hand for
the amount at 6 per cent. interest, and
payable to Mr.. Davis cor bearer" on
demand. This he handed 70 ois friend
who asked, somewhat sharply:
"What is this?"
''ReaG it," replied the visitor, which
Davis did with great deliberation, and
then with equal deliberation tore it
into small pieces, observing.
"Of course I have no use for this,
and if anything should happen to ne
suddenly, it might cause you some
slight temporary embarrassment" "
SGratitude," said my informant
with q smile, sis said by some to be q
plant Of slow and uncertain growth
but it seems still, at least, to flourish
in Iowa.

Embarrassing Proposition Of 1t pcmcnt-
(, cd Spinster in Church.
MIDDLETON, Conn, Dec. 3l.-A
very queer woman is Miss n. =.
Moore, the people of Bridgeport think.
Hiss Moore, well-dres>ed and demure
of wanner, came to that town and be-
haved admirably at the At,antic Ho-
tel, where she stopped one night. The The
next day was Sunday, and Miss Moore,
in fashionable apparel, went to the
ornate ST. Paul's Episcopal Church, in
the eastern part Of the city. She sat
in rear pew intently listening to the
Rev. Millidge Walkers sermon on
Christmas, in which he pleaded path
etically for Christmas charity, beseech-
ing his parishioners to remember all
poor people with pecuniary benevo-
lence.
He had just about attained ''third.
ly'' in his discourse when the devout
Miss Moore arose and rustled down
the aisle to the pulpit front, where
she halted, her hands crossed, and face
eloquent of self-sacTiice and sym
pathy. In few words in clear tones,
that were heard distinctly all over the
church, she said that the spirit of the
sermon had touched her heart, and
she was ready, eager: to give all that
she possessed to the poor; she.was will
ling to give even her own appare! for
sweet charity" and anxious and pre-
pared then and there to take of all
her clothes and pass them over to the
Rev. Milledge Walker. He could place
them where they would do the most
good.
A more astounded clergyman than
Mr.. Walker probably never was inter
rupted in the midst of a Christmas
sermon on theoretical charity; his face
became pale and then purple, when
the young lady proposed disrobing
herself in the presence of the congrega-
ton, and then he tried to say a few
words to her. But she interrupted
him, talked incoherently for seve-
raj moments, then hastily quit the
house.
She returned to her hotel and be-
haved in a ladylike manner Until sup
per time, when she caused excitement
in the dining room by springing from
her seat at a table and hugging and
kissing the colored head waiter, She
then delivered a rambling address to
the guests. Late that evening friends
arrived in town, and she went away
with them on an express train bound
for the west. No one - Connecticut
kncws her story.

A STRANGER IN TOWN.
a Christmas story From the Far West
That Reads Mighty Zinc.

TExARKANA, Tex, Jan. 2.-On
Christmas day two noted desperaders,
"Red Lindell" and "Choctaw Pete, !"
road into the town of Tissawa. They
had been drinking: and Immediately
took possession of the main street, fir
ing their revolvers recklessly and driv-
ing everybody within doors. While
this was going cn, a well mounted
stranger with veritable arsenal
around his waist arrived. The new
conner was supposed to be a comrade
of the outlaws by the inhabitants. But
it turned out he was stranger. When
he went to hitch his horse Lindell cut
the leatht tr. The stranger protested,
whereupon Pete covered him with a
revolver and called upon Red" to
disarm him. The stranger waited until
the latter was close to him, wnen he
drew his revolver and shot Lindell
through the heart. He then opened
fire on "Choctaw Pete" and sent two
bullets into his head, killing him in
stantly. ;,
The stranger offered to give himself
up, but finding no one willing to ar
rest him, rode leisurely of. His idenity
is unknown.
