ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
An Unknown Miscreanf Throws a
Brick at Hon. B. A. EnlOe,

10th instant says: For the first
time the assassin has made his APP
pearance as a factor in ourpolitics.
Hon. B. A. Enloe has been max
ing unanswerable arguments for
Democracy and against the sub
treasury, and the true Democrats
are all in line. His attacks on the
Republican and third parties, with
the truth Of history and the logic |
of facts, have destroyed the bud
ding hopes of the enemies of De-
mocracy, and instead of meeting
him in debate an effort was made
at Sardis night before last to as
sassinate him.
Sardis is a strong Republican
center, with some third partyites,
and now the question of fixing the
responsibility is giving trouble.
The Republicans claim that the
third party men did it, and, on the
other hand, the Democrats and
third party men charge it to the
Republicans.
The circumstances developed to-
day show that it was a preconcert-
ed attempt to murder Mr.. Enloe.
One Of the largest audiences that
have ever met a speaker at Sardis
had assembled to hear him. They
were crowded into the large school
building until there was not stand
ing room. Everybody, including
the speaker, were in a fine humor,
when the audience was stricken
with terror by the crash Of a half
brick through the window near
which Mr.. Enloe was standing, di-
rectly in line with his head.
1t struck the sash, which was an
inch thick and nearly an inch and
a half wide, and cut it in two and
scattered the glass in thousand
fragments all over the platform.
The brick was turned in its course
and struck Mr.. j. N. Galbreath, of
Center Point, on the leftcheek bone,
crushing it,and completely closing
his left eye. 1t is thaught that he
will save his eye, but his face is dis
figured for life.
A notice has been found to-day
which was posted yesterday de-
nouncing Mr.. Enloe and saying he
should be driven out Of the coun-
try.
Just before the attack was made
some one appeared on the side of
the house where the assassin stood
and a rock was thrown at him to
drive him away. About that time
notes were thrown over the crowd
outside the door from the opposite
side Of the house to draw attention
to that side and give the assassin
his opportunity to throw the brick.
Threats were heard outside the door
just before the brick was thrown.
Mr.. Enloe kept his place on the
stand and urged the oeowd to keep
their seats, but when it was found
that Mr.. Galbreath was hurt, the
crowd was dismissed 1t left with
cries Of "hurrah for Enloe," and
threats Of hanging if the coward
could be found.
Pistol shots were fired around il
the neighborhood during the bal
ance Of the night, presumably by
the crowd which got up the attempt
at assassination.
The Democrats will gain voters
In this county on account of it, and
public indignation is SO great thai
a lynching is likely to occur if the
assassin is found. Saltillo, Center
Point and SCOTS Hill were rep.

Pauperism In the United States.

The latest official statistics show that
the total number of paupers in American
.almshouses is 1905 "Of these" says Mr..
Wines, the government compiler employed
by the census bureau, "3G, $50 are native
paupers, 81, $40 of whom had both parents
native born, 949 had one parent native and
one parent foreign born; $3.50 had both
parents foreign born, and in l060S cases
the birthplace of one or both parents is I'M
known Leaving out of view the l0,60S
whose parentage is unknown in whole or
in part, there remain 26,04S cases in which
the proportion of native and foreign blood
can be estimated.
"If to the 2l,5l9 native paupers born Of
native parents is added one-half of the
number with one parent foreign born, the
sum is 2l.993.5. If to the $3.50 native
paupers born of foreign parent, is added
an equal amount, the sum is 4,O54.5. But
TO this latter figure must also he added
27G4S foreign born paupers, which gives as
a result 81, 102.5. In other words, the foreign
population of this country contributes, di-
rectly or indirectly, in the persons of the
foreign born or Of their immediate descend
ants, very nearly three-iifths of all the
paupers supported in almshouses The
disproportion between the two elements in
respect of the burden of pauperism is even
greater than that in respect of crime"

A Zulu Dainty.

Meales are the chief food of the Kaffirs,
but they rejoice at an occasional opportu-
nifty of feasting off a tough trek" ox-no
matter if it has died from natural causes
albeit their glimmering of religious super,
stition forbids them the use of animal food.
They loathe fish as we should loathe eating
a snake; but, on the other hand, their fan
cies for certain tidbits run in a curious di
rection. One afternoon a spray of glitter
ing green foliage is brought to me, from
whence are depending the most enormous
caterpillars have ever seen in my life, as
thick as my thumb and twice as lOng-fat,
green fellows, studded with small. spark
ling scales
The little Zulu girl from whom they had
been obtained wept because 1--WE had taken
away her food" | fatty declined to try a
caterpillar or two, whereupon native
eagerly selects a couple of the finest, pinches
off their tails, manipIlates glove fashion

other, frizzles them before the fire, and
finally daintily devodrs the nauseating
morsel with the lingering enjoyment of aIl

Many protests are heard at irregular in
tervals against the tyrannical DEGREES of
custom, but these protests are generally in
dividual and do not voice the desire of a
community. In Berlin, however, they are
now endeavoring to bring about so called
reform through organization and aglta-
ton. A German League for Combating
the Frvolities of Fashion" has been found
ed and has published its statutes. 1t is
open to any person of either sex who will
promise seriously to join in the crusade
against the enslaving and tyrannical god

be known as members" while gentlemen
will have to be content with the modest

fixed at tie easy sum of twelve cents year
(hfty pfennig) Among the names of the
founders occur those of Countess Fabrice,
the well known actress Fraulein Marie
Meyer and the painter Wilma Parlaghy.
The league intends to publish an antifash-
ion periodical, which is to appear under the
title of Der Flugel.

Material Always of Value.

The economy of material has been re
duced almost to an exact science When a
thing ceases to be Of value for one purpose
it is utilized in some other way. The state
ment of Pttsburg cable car magnate is
of interest in this connection. Says he;
THE ropes on cable roads are as a rule
sold as soon as they are put in. The rope
upon which we are travelling was sold sew
eral weeks ago, The old ropes are sold for
inclines, elevators, etc. They are better
for that purpose than II they were new,
They have become so thoroughly soaked
with oil and tar and so stretched that they
are seasoned. They will never wear out
on inclines or elevators because there is no
strain on them compared with that of a
cable road, and they have been tested so
that they may be relied on. After they
have been in use a short time on the cable
roads, and before they show signs of wear,
they are replaced by new ones.

The Girls Kept Quiet.

A pair of chattering young women met
with n deserved rebuke at the exercises Of
the Brooklyn high school. AS the different
young men appeared on the platform to de-
liver their orations these young women
kept up running fire of comment and
criticism most annoying to persons near.
A gentleman sitting just in front of them
looked around several times and frowned
sharply at the continued buzzing, without,
however, producing any appreciate effect.
AT length young speaker came upon the
stage in whom the gentleman was evidently
deeply interested. If possible, the rear
conversation was noisier than at any pre-
ceding moment, and nobody in the vicini-
ty regretted when the gentleman squared
himself about and said in voice loud
enough TO be heard mp and down the line:
THE lad speaking is my nephew will
be Obliged if you will allow me to hear
him"
The silence that followed could be felt

newspapers in the vicinity Of the Potter
mansion. Her father took her to Geneva
Lake, Wis, and succeeded in breaking up
the acquaintance, and now young Dunni
want has brought suit against Mr.. Potter
and others for 100000 damages for false
imprisonment.
He swears to this curious story: In No
vember, 1856, he was induced to accom-
pany one Frank Allen to a place in south
Chicago, where a confederate, made up to
look like Dunnivant," stole some clothing.
Dunnivant was convicted of the theft and
served four years in the penitentiary at
hard labor. He alleges that Mr.. Potter
paid a Chicago paper $4,000 TO suppress
his (Dunnivant's) story. 1t seems that the
young lady, however, believed in his guilt,
for she took no further interest in him
after his incarceration Now her engage.

younger than she, and while waiting for
him to reach his majority she is to travel

from Chicago which is interesting even in
face of the possibility that it is not entirely
accurate. The report goes that the day
before her union with Maato the girl
called on Vice President Bryan, of the
Worlds fair board, and urged that her
prospective husband be given a commits
sion authorizing him to act as a represent
alive of the enterprise in Italy.
The request was refused, but in the
course of the conversation it is said that
Miss Van Zandt declared that her connec
tion with Spies was by no means volun
tary. His lawyers came to my mother"
the young lady is reported as asserting
"and told her that if an element of 70.
nance could he thrown about Spies it
might save his life" SO she consented to
proxy wedding and became "a martyr
and puppet in the case" The former at.
torneys for the anarchists deny the truth
of this assertion, but its veracity is upheld
by Mrs Van Zandt, mother of the young
woman to whom the statement is attrib

Vast Sums Spent by Stamp Collectors.

One who is not a stamp dealer or stamp
collector has little idea of the enormous
proportions to which philately has grown.
An English paper announces that postage
stamp collectors are delighted at the pros
pect of adding to their treasures by the
new French colonial stamps which will be
issued shortly When any new stamp
comes out the regular stamp dealers in
England, Paris and New York alone re-
quire at least 100000 worth of specimens
for their customers. For example, Tunis
issued fresh stamp three years ago, and
the government printed enough for "A year s
supply. In month the whole quantity
had been bought up, chiefly for collectors.
France will print separate stamps for each
of her colonies in order TO prevent people
making profit out of the exchange be-
tween the colonies. As before, the stamp
will represent Commerce and Navigation
standing upright in boat, beneath the in
scription, "Republique Francaise-COlo-
MES, but the name of each possession will
be engraved at the foot, so that the NADIA
gascar stamp cannot be used in Cochin
China, and so on.

summer Devastation in Germany.

America has not been singular of late in
suffering from intense heat and severe
storms. Indeed, Germany has been far more
afflicted Berlin and Hamburg experienced
the worst of the heat wave, fourteen cases Of
sunstroke occurring at Berlin in single
day. All over the empire cloudbursts and
thunderstorms caused much damage and
loss of life, sweeping away houses, cattle
and crops. At Ehrenbreitstein the fortress
and the lower parts of the town were
flooded, people taking refuge on the house
tops. Many villages near Cobleutz were
in such distress that the garrison went to
their help. The vineyards on the Rhine
and Moselle are much injured and the
mineral springs at Soden stopped up, while
railway traffic is impeded on several lines

Preferred Tobacco TO Cash.

1t is said of A. j. McKeown, son of the
oil magnate, John Mcheown, that he is
probably the richest young man in Penn
sylvania. He enjoys princely income
which he speEis with "a lavish hand. In
his younger days his father offered him
10000 to stop smoking cigarettes, and sub
sequently raised the amount to &c, 900 with
the understanding that the boy should alb
stain from the use of tobacco in any form.
This offer young McKeown refused.

enthusiastic welcome among strangers

The Presidential Candidates.

As we understand it-and it is to be
rcgretted-Gov. Campbell now disap-
pears as presidential candidate. As tor
Hill, he was disposed of some time ago
by the New York Sun, after this fashion
He, Hill, may resign his post as gov
ernor or he NAV resign his post as seua-
tor. But. il he keeps the two, we warn
him earnestly beforehand that 1t Will no
longer be in his power to resign the
third place, that Of democratic aspi-
rant for the presidency, because it will
disappear from him and vanish beyond
his grasp as the morning mist OF June
disappears and vanishes at the rising OF
the sun This is proposition which
no argument can coutrovert and no
rhetoric obiterate; and we state 1t here
not because it displeases us, but because
the truth is So
There remains one candidate, however,
who comes out of the contest greatly
strengthened in the hold he has on the
rank and file of the democratic party,
although he was not himself candid
ate There can be NO question that Gro
yer Cleveland's energetic advocacy OF
Flower was tower of strength to him.
The ex-president excited the greatest en-
thusiasm wherever he appeared and un-
doubtedly drew to Flowers support, not
only many democrats, but many inde-
pendents as well,
1t is true that Cleveland does not favor
the free-coinage ofsilver, butwe apprchcnd
that this is a larger issue at present than
it will be a year from now, and that there
will be even wider recognition then than
now Of what we believe to be the fact,
that the issues on which victory can be
fought out in 1892 are tariff reform and
economy in the administration govern,
ment affairs. That Grover Cleveland
represents these two issues more than
does any other man now before the den
ocracy, there is general assent,
The elections of tuesday make Mr..
Cleveland even more prominent as a
presidential candidate than he has been
since he was defeated three years ago.
