Owns Seven WharVes.

OWAo GOV Oh w 1dTN0S
CHARLESTON, s. c., July 3O.-The East
Shore Terminal Railroad Company is grad
ually absorbing a good deal of the east side
wharf property. To-day it purchased
Kerrs wharf for $4,000. This makes
seven wharves that have passed into the
possession of the company since it secured
the franchise to construct a belt line
Counting the franchises and cotton
press property already acquired,
the company now owns upward of
100000 worth of property in this
city. 1t is stated. however. that they paid
only S11S,O00 for the seven wharveS now
owned. All these wharves are below the
Union wharf property, and their acquisi-
tion is taken as an indication that the
people propos to build their belt line along
the entire east water front, with side tracks
on every pier from the great railroad depot
to the battery.

WOMEN VOTING IN KANSAS.

In spite of the unfailing enthusiasm
among strong minded women for the

every observer that woman has no
natural tendency towards politics. IL
she ever becomes practical politician,

system like the Dudley blocks of-fiye'

any intuitive aptitude for such things.
but because taste for them has been
sedulously cultivated. For many
years she has been told by the profes.
sional advocates of woman suffrage
that she ought to vote, that she was
denied blessed privilege on being ex.
cluded from the polls; but addresses

conventions and declamations from

Oscar Wilde contributes the COM
plete- novel TO the July number of lar
PINooTrs MAGAZINE. 1t is entitled,
"The Picture of Dorian Gray" and il
is story that everybody will want to
read. Not only is Oscar Wilde's one
of the most interesting figures of the
day, but he is remarkably clever and
original writer, as he has shown him
self to be in his essays, poems, and
short stories, and above all in this, his
first, novel. The story is strikingly
original in conception, is strong in in
terest, and fitted with a dramatic and
tragic climax. Wilde is a man of
such an original and audacious turn of
mind that the commonplace is scarcely
possible to him, and 80 he has produc-
ed a novel entirely out of the ordinary
ruts. 1t would be impossible to give
in few words an adequate conception
OF criticism of this dramatic story, aud
besides, every one will want to read
and judge it for himself.

ticipated as an occassit n which would
furnish an interesting exhibition of
woman's zeal and enthusiasm as a vot-

no such thing. The Kansas females
are as thoroughly addicted to What is

else of that privilege much less attrac-
tive than it appeared to them before.

The political lukewarmness of their

that it has been denied them--has no

The polling places are unattractive.

To Jail for His Father,
AN INSTANCE OF MODERN oHIvALRY IN
THE GEORGIA MOUNTAINS.

Last March Deputy Collector John
ware and posse were in White
county searching for illicit distilleri s.
They came to the farm of Mr.. Alexan.
der, an old man who had passed the
eightieth mile pest on the road of life.
The officers, going over bis land,
found blockade still in full blast, but
no one was visible. They went to
lwork, chopped up the still and poured
the beer and slo out on the ground.
The law presumes the owner of the
land OF, which blockade still is run
ming knows all about 1t, and hence it
holds him responsible unless he can
prove himself innocent.
After destroying the still the officers
went to the house of old man Alexan.
der and arrested him on the charge of
illicit distilling. His aged wife took
bis arrest very much to heart, but the
old man bore it stoically, and was
marched off with the officers. They
had not proceeded far before Young
man, almost a beardless boy, overlook
them, breathless with running to catch
up with the men who were CARRYING
the old man away as prisoner. On
reaching them he said his name was
Robert A. Alexander, and that he was
the old mans son. He begged the
officers not to take the old man to At
lanta, for the old man, be said, ku-w
nothing about the, still; it was his
property; he had been running 1T with
out the knowledge of his father, and
be did not want his father to suffer
for what he had done. .r..-
AT this statement the United States
officers released the old man and
brought the son to Atlanta and put him
in Jail. After being there a day or
two he went before Judge Newman
and pleaded guilty to the charge of
illlolt distillipe, repeating the story
told to the officer. Judge Newman
sentenced him to pay a fine of SlOO
and to serve two months in Jail. His
two months have just expired, but ac-
oording to law he had another month
to serve in lien of the $lOO. M ..
Judge Newman has determined to
modify the sentence on account of
the young mans .chivalrous conduct,
and has written an order setting him
at liberty. He will return to his old
parents in White county to help them
work the farm, He says he is done
with illicit whisky, and will never
make another drop as long a he lives.
