On Friday night last the jail at Barn
well, S. c., was broken open by a mob and
eight negro men there on the charge of
murder, were taken out and shot to death.
Two white farmers had been assassinated in
few days past and these men were charged
with the assassinations. We do not sup
pose fol- a moment that the good people Of
the State of South Carolina are to be charged
with this brutal exhibition of mob law, this
wholesale murder of unarmed and defence
less men already in the hands of the law.
But the good people, the law abiding peo-
pie of that State should see to it that these
lynchers are made an example of and if
identified and convicted punished for the
atrocious murder. 1t is idle to plead
the provocation of the assassination. If
this view prevails, then there had as well be
no law at all. The assassins, OIL those
suspected Of being such, were already in the
hands of the law, without hope Of escape
from prison, and awaiting what the law
promises every man, white and black, a
fair trial. These occurrences shock civil
lization.

To the average legislator from the III

the Richmond interests and the Virginia
Pilot Association of Norfolk, will be an
unfamiliar subject. But he will not &c
wrong if he votes to uphold the Pilot Asso-

that the Association is contending for
rights established by good service to com
merce and the State, and which, Oh theil

When a new and novel idea is presented
to New Yorker he first laughs at it, then
sets about thinking whether there is good
money in it and finally adopts it.
This was the process in the case of the
top story restaurants, which now promise

Many large Office buildings, such as the
Standard Oil, on lower Broadway, have
restaurant accommodation OF some sort in
their upper stories.
Within the year past the idea of sky

some of the new club buildings will have
their restaurants as we'll as kitchens on
the top floor.

benefit Of better air. fine scenery, the alb

from bores and bummers and chance to

DR.. David Genese sends for the city mu-
scum, seven casts of hailstones that fell on
Sunday, April 80, 1890. They are nearly
fac-similes as to size and shape, and show
the peculiar irregular formation of the pre-
cipitated ice. The hailstones were placed
upon slab of glass and mixture Of fine
modelling plaster was poured upon them.
Alum was mixed with the plaster to make
it set quickly. Where the hailstone touched
the glass a small aperture was left. As the
hailstones melted the water ran out of this
opening. A solution was then poured in
to prevent adhesion, and freshly mixed
plaster was poured into the mould thus
prepared. When hardened the outer crust
was broken away, leaving exact casts of
the hailstones, except that the keener edges
of the ice were lost slightly by rapid melt
ing caused by the heat that was generated
by the crystallization of the plaster. The
models are neatly silvered. The largest is
nearly two inches and flve-eighths long

How a Noted Traveller Got a Pass.

Tourist Operator Bogardus is known to
telegraph operators in every city of im-
portance throughout the United States.
''Bogy," as he is familiarly called has
travelled all over this country and Europe,
and mostly on the contributions of his
brother key Founders and the passes Of per
sistently importuned railroad officials.
"Bogy' hasn't done stroke of work for
an interminable length of time, simply be-
cause nomadic life Is preferable.
Hundreds Of stories are told of "Bogy's'
persistency in applying for railroad passes.
The best of these is, perhaps, his importu-
nate demands for pass from General Man
ager Williams, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton road After declining three or
four successive visits, Mr.. Williams indig-
nantly told Bogardus never to call at his
office again for pass. An hour later
"Bogy" popped his head into the general
managers Office and remarked:
"Mr. Williams, ! haven't called for a
pass; just want one of your time cards,
I've concluded to walk, and want time
card so us to keep out of the way of regular
trains"
Mr. Williams bit his lip to suppress an
incipient smile, and ordered his clerk to
write out pass for the persistent appli-
cant-Chattanoog Times.

Great Mems Debts.

Once upon a time Rufus Choate was in
Washington, and had spent all the money
he had with him, besides exhausting his
bank account by checks on it. He and
Daniel Webster were alike in regard to
bank accounts, that they knew no other
use for one than to proceed to exhaust it.
But Choate needed money, and went to
Webster to borrow some.
II have got dollar" said Webster, mus
ingly, and then he added: "But see here,
Choate, you say you want $780, Make out
your note for that amount, I'll indorse it
and Corcoran & Riggs will let you have
the money"
Choate Immediately agreed, when Web
ster continued:

make the note for thousand and give me

REVENGE IS SWEET.
Even If 1t Is Only Secured Against a
Weighing Machine.

WoAbhAhS nAhcnl0es
In one of the largest of this city's hotels
there stands prominent in the lobby a
nickel-in-the-slot weighing machine Of
massive proportions and enticing appear
ance. 1t ordinarily does the work honestly,
throwing out q card with the date and
weight printed on 1t, and throwing in
sweet snatch of operatic melody. But its
internal anatomy became disarranged a
few days ago just as avery thin patron Of
the hotel, who is under treatment with a
view to attaining comfortable and slightly
plumpness, came in for his daily weigh.
He dropped the nickel In and hoped nim-
bly, upon the platform, but no strain of
music met his ear and no card showing a
pound or two of development dropped into
his expectant hand. He then jumped light
ly up and down upon the platform a few
times to see if the thing would start, and
put another nickel in the slot. Still the
machine remained mute and the disap-
pointed thin man pounded on the platform
with all his strength and poured a stream
of nickels in the capacious slot for the next
ten minutes with no result but grievous
loss of temper and two pounds of his re-
Gently acquired avoirdupois.
The hotel clerk had the machine repaired
next day, and notified his slender guest of
the fact that evening after dinner
'It's been fixed, chr" said the guest
"That's good. Much obliged. But what
about all those nickels put in Last night?n
The clerk thought they had gone to swell
the dividends of the weighing machine
company, and intimated that the guest was
not acting in the wisest possible manner
when he put his money into broken ma
chine
'Well, maybe wasn't" said the guest.
"but Pm going to get square just the same"
So he wandered down to the basement,
borrowed a hammer and a thin nail, drove
a hole in nickel, begged bit of thread
and tied it therein and then visited the
weighing machine He lowered the nickel
until it touched the spring to set the ar
rangement In motion and then pulled it up
again in safety. He weighed himself
dozen times and weighed everybody else in
the lobby until he thought he and the ma
chine were at financial dead center and
then let the Nickel thread and all, go into
the strong box of the instrument. New
