THE VICTORY OF THE PEOPLE.

Before I proceed to discuss in plain
straightforward fashion the legislation l
shall ask YOU toconsider, desire TO con-
uratulate YOU upon the S!gnal victory ac-
Rieved by the people at the recent eiec-
tion. Democracy the rule of the people
has won a victory unparalleled IN It's mag
nitnde and Importance and those whose
hearts were troubled as they watched the
frend Of national legislation in its un-
blushihg usUrpation OF authority us cen
tralizing grasp upon tho throats OF the
states. its abiect surrender to the power
of corporate money and class interests
ALI such must lift up joyful hearts OF
praise to the All Ruler and ieei theIr iai'h
in the stability of our Republican inssitu-
tons strengthened, In our own state the
triumph Of democracy and white suprc-
macy over inongrei1sin and ana aF11silsS FHsS!r- or
civilization over barbarism mas oeess
most complete. And it is gratifying TO
note the fact that this was attended by
political phenomena which was q surprise
fo all Of MS. Our colored feliow-citizens
absolutely refused TO be led to the polls
by their bosses. The opportunity of hay
ing their votes freely cast, honestly
counted which has been claimed is denied
1be negroes caused scarcely ripple oi
excitement among them. They quietly
pursued their avocationS and left the con-
Que. of the election to the whites. Many
who voted cast their ballots for the regu-
lar Democratic ticket and the consequence
is that to-day there is less race prejudice
and race feeling between the white inen
and black men of South Carolida than has
existed at any time since 1868.

SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.

: But whatever is done IL that regard
there is imperative need for an indus
trial school for girls in the State. Our
system Of education for women looks to
training their minds and giving them ac-
compliShnents for tie adOrnmcnt Of So
ciety. But rcvcrseS Of fortune or death
often bring the necessity Of bread-wln-
ming; and the tender mother left a Wild

little worth in dollars and cents is the
music, drawing and painting, ETC., upon
which money and time had been lavish
e.. in her So-called education. The
State has never done anything for It's
women except appro priating 4 small

in competition with our private female
colleges by establishing an ordinary
school, but one III which the industrial

COLUMBIA. Dec. 1.-The inaugural:

interrupted by applause.
The address is as follows:
.sGent!e,nen of the General Assembly:
1t is seldom in the history Of politics that
a man is so honored as l am. 1t is Gus

We Eat Too Much.

There is something new under the
sun-a new way to make youth and
health and beauty perpetual. Not a
new method of physical culture, not a
new dietary scheme. nor yet a new ap-
plication of that subtle principle by
which the mind rules the body. None
of these, but measure so novel, so
original and withal so economic that
it finds favor with many who would
none of all the other fads.
A new Hypatia has arisen in the per.
son of New York lady physician. and
the doctrine of physical Immortality
which she teaches is to fast. This
modern philosopher is a we'll known
woman physician, who is fifty years OF
age and looks twenty-five. Her form
is as supple, her eyes as bright and
her skin as clear as healthy school
girls.
How did it come about?" she said
to writer in the New York Herald.
''Why, in the most natural way. The
human system is not a machine-it is
a live thing, and so gets tired and
needs rest. l discovered this many
years ago, and began resting mine
Systematically. When l find the
physical machinery becoming clogged
and heavy abstain entirely from food.
Several times have tasted for twenty
days. and every month l take a three
days'fast."
''But is it not very exhausting?" l
asked.
No" replied the doctor. "On the
contrary, it is very exhilarating. OF
course it is necessary that the stomach
should have tonic, and l have pre-
pared one," showing bottle contain
ing a dark brown fluid.
What is it?" l asked.
Il call it nutrient" said the doc.
tor, evasively. The taste and smell of
the preparation indicated that it was
mostly of cocoa aud wine.
The doctor claims that teaspoonful
of this mixture. taken at the regular
meal time. will not only do away with
all desire for food, but will prevent any
bad results from the long fast.
Il drink large quantities of hot water
every day." she said, because | be-
lieve the inside of the body needs
washing as much as the outside"
Every year the doctor takes trip to
Europe, and she says that never since
she began putting her pet theory into
practice has she experienced qualm
of seasickness. And she believes that
the same emancipation will be the re-
ward of every one who follows her
example.

DoNATO'S WILL POWER.
What the Professor AecomplIshes In the
Line of Hypnotism,

A comely young woman. attired ID
a soft clinging robe of white. stood on
the stage in Chickering hall last night.
says the n. Y. Times. and under the
spell of one mans will became a rigid
statue. She was picked up like an in
animal thing and laid as a bridge
over the space between two chairs
three and one-half feet apart. Her
head rested on one chair and her feet
barely touched the other. Then Prof
Donate. who had hypnotized her, sat
upon her body, swinging his heels two
or three inches from the floor. The
professor weighs about 200 pounds. but
the girls body remained as stiff and
unyielding as plank. Half moment
afterward the hypnotic influence was
removed and the girls limp form sank
between the two chairs like the closing
of a jackknife.
This was but one of numerous ex.
traordinary instances of his power as
hypnotist or fascinator given by Prof.
Donate last evening. He compelled
a dozen OF more obedient subjects to
assume attitudes painfully unnatural
and awkward In her unconscious
eagerness to reach a rose young girl
was induced to bend over backward
until her head as well as her feet
touched the stage.
Nine. Donate assisted her husband
effectively in the most interesting ex-
periments of the evening. She was
placed in the hypnotic state, and diff.
ferent persons in the audience were in.
vited to express to her husband
whispered wishes that she might do
certain things. The lady was not sup
posed to hear or know anything about
these wishes except as they were con-
veyed to her mind by the will power OF
her husband. She was, in fact, fast
asleep. A gentleman concealed his
seat check in the lining of his hat and
requested that the hypnotized lady find
it. She found it without a word being
said to her. A lady whispered that
she would like to have Nine. Donate
take the flowers from her dress and
atfix them to her own person. That
was done. A young man asked the
professor to induce the madame to find
his pocket-knife open the smallest
blade, show it to his (the young man's)
wife, close the blade, and hand it to a
little boy sitting few seats away.
All of this was done, and the hypno-
tized lady closed her performance by
going upon the stage finding her way
to the piano, and striking certain key
that had been picked out by one of the
audience.

The symptoms of catarrh are,
headache, obstruction of nose, dis

times profuse, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness; offensive breath Gmcll
