When foreign Government gets hold

Of It for its OWE uses as long as possible.
Hence it comes that the United States is

Tom Gordon sat in his own porch,

when read in this brief sentence, but Tom
Gordon was as far from comfortable as
a man well can be, short of absolute tor
ture.
In the first place, the porch was a
rickety, tumble-down affair outside of
the shabbiest of little cottages, and the
destruction of a great cotton factory at
B. had thrown Tom and his only
child, pretty Hattie Gordon, both out of
employment. For two months they had
managed to live on the tiny nest ega
Hattie had saved, but that was nearly
gone, and Toms cheap tobacco would
not give smoke enough to hide the des-
titution staring him in the face. Worst
of all, Tom was musing over an encounter
with and old friend, who had gone up
the ladder of fortune somewhat ,faster

IL je the HattleSnake OF the vegetable
Kingdom and Produces Insanity.
From the Kansas city S.ar
The loco weed of the western plains is to
vegetation what the rattlesnake is to animal
life The name comes from the Spanish and
signifies insanity. 1t is dusky green and
grows in small punches or handfuls and
scatters itself in a sparse and meager way

calities where ir this season fourishes In
abundance may not see any of it next year,
or indeed for a number of years to come.
The prime property Of the loco is
to induce insanity in men or ami
mails who partake of IL. Animals-mules,
horses, sheep and cattle-avoid it naturally
and under ordinary circumstances never
touch it. But in the winter when an iuch
or two of snow has covered the grass, these
green punches of loco standing clear and
above the snow are tempting baits to AMI
mails who are going about half starved at
the best. Even then it is not common for
them to eat it. Sin, some do and it at once
creates an appetite in the victim similar in
its intense force to the alcohol habit in man.
kind. Once started on the downward path
of loco a mule will abandon all other forms
of food and look for 1T. In q short time its
effects become perfectly apparent. You
will see locoed mule standing out On the
shadowless plains with not a living
moving thing in his vicinity. His
head is dropping and his eyes
half closed On the instant he will
kick and thresh out his heels in the most
warlike way. Under the influence If loco
he sees himself surrounded by multitudes Of
threatening ghosts and is repelling them.
The mind Of the animal is completely gone.
He cannot be driven or worked because of
his utter lack of reason. He will go right
or left or turn around in the harness In
spite of bits OF whip, or win fail t. start or
stop, and all in a vacant. idiotic way devoid
of malice. The victim becomes as thin
physically as mentally, and after retrcgrad.
ing four or five months at last dies, the
most complete wreck on record. Many
gruesome tales are furnished Of cruel
Spanish and Mexican ladies who, in a
jealous fit. have locoed their American adj
mirers through the medium Of loco tea.
Two or three cases in kind are reported in

cHARLssroN.s CHURCH scHIsAl
Psrson Dart IN About as Much Trouble
as Parson Hills

Psrson Dart IN About as Much Trouble
as Parson Hllis.
The schism in the Morris Street Baptist
church Of Charleston. and the effort on the
part of some Of the members TO excommuni-
cate the pastor, the Rev. ]. l. Dart. is ex-
citing interest in Savannah In colored
church circles.
Although Deacon Joiner OF the excom-
municators, and the Rev. Mr. Dart declined
to say anything, the present status is
learned. IL seems that for some time there
has been a spirit of dissatisfaction brewing
among tha members Of the cHErch. which
was led on and provoked by two deacons OF
the church. ,.to
The cause for The, disapproval Of Mr..
Dart by these two officers OF the church is
not accounted for One explanation is that
the minister has shown Il preference for the
four other deacons Of the church. On
Wednesday night, as was stated In the NeiOs
and Courier, the Two deacons,n with
about fifty supporters, held a meeting IN the
vestry OF the church, although the gas had
been shut OFF and the doors licked. IL is
understood that at this meeting ten or
twelve charges we're presented against the
pastor. The chief offenses seem to be
"abuse OF members of the church" and
''disrespect to two of the deacons." The
meeting was without any positive result,
most of the time being consumed IN talk.
So far as can be ascertained the Dart fac.
ton is stronger than. that led Ly Dsacons
Joiner and Gordon! (which has not vet de-
veloped a strength of over 100 members,
although there are about 1000 in the church.
The deacons have called meeting of the
members of the church next week, at which
the trouble is expected to be settled. If
charges are to be entered they will then be
presented and decision will be reached as
to the proper step to settle the church war.
II the charges are groundless the disa:fected
deacons will probably be asked to resign or
fall into ranks with the majority.
