A Beautiful Gift.

Mrs. Mary K. Irvine, of South
Broadway, presented to Eugenia
d. Denny an elegant Bagster
Bible, in token of her apprecia-
ton of the government position
procured for her son, Berkeley,
through the recommendation of
Judge Denny. In addition to
this claim there has existed for
years the tender tie of a pupil
and her first teacher between the
giber and the receiver. An illu-
minated card, showing an open
Bible, bore on the reverse side
the words, "May the rich gems
contained in this precious vol
ume be sought and found by my
dear young friend. May the
promised stars of comfort shine
brightly in your heart. May the
wisdom given literally to those
who ask for it be added, and the
peace that passeth understand
ing fill your heart to overflow
ing. The wish of one who loves
you truly"
Surely so tender a message of
love belongs to the pages of the
RECORD, and we hope we do not
need to ask pardon for putting
it into print without permission.

Wo'k i'm the south.

Mrs. Sallie F. lapin, OF South Caro-
lima, writes that the Legislature, partly
at least, in response to her forts, has
passed a bill to found an industrial
school for girls. Gov. TilIman recon-
mended this in his IL essage, and his
wife, who is a leading temperance
woman, is taking great interest in the
project. A law has also been adopted
forbidding the sale of tobacco to minors
under a heavy penalty. A w. @. L. U.
Home has been opened in Charleston
which furnishes good lodging at a low
rate; a CHEEKY room TO sit in at night;
and good lunch room intended as
substitute for the bar, where hot coffee
is served at ten o'clock at night in the
effort to keep young men out OF saloons
and keep reporters from temptation.
One of the best city physicians has an

If she would drop that disgusting word
temperance out of the name, but she
said that il she were on compromising
line she could make far better trade
by going in with the saloon keepers,
who would not only give her a stove,
but plenty of material to cook, and
plenty of patronage. Mrs. Chaplin is

The Cat Thermometer

When your cat sits or lies,
back to the fire, a cold wave is
coming.
If she faces the fire, it will be
warmer weather.
IF she purrs loud in August,
there will be a heavy frost before
December.
If she comes in towards mid
night in a dazed, unsteady con-
dition, fur turned the wrong way
and one eyebrow gone, spring is
coming and you may plant your
garden seed.
If she looks over her right
shoulder it is going to rain; if
over the left, fair weather. If
she gets her back up it is sure to
snow.

An Ancient Manuscript.

This was found in an ancient
manuscript, sent by Publius Len
tulus, president of Judea, to the
Roman Senate:
"There lives at this time in
Judea a man of singular charac-
ter, whose name is Jesus Christ.
The barbarians esteem him as a
prophet, but his followers adore
him as the immediate offspring
of God. He is endowed with un-
paralleled virtues so as to be able
to call back the dead from their
graves, and to heal every kind
of disease with a word or touch.
His person is tall and elegantly
shaped, his aspect amiable and
reverend. His hair flows in those
beautiful shades which no united
colors can match, falling in
graceful curls below the ears,
agreeably touching on his shout
ders and parting OH the crown
of his head like the head-dress
of the sect called Nazarites. His
forehead is smooth and his
cheeks without spot, save that
of a lovely red. His nose and
mouth are formed with exquisite
symmetry; his beard is thick
and suited to the hair of his
head, reaching a little below his
chin and parting in the middle
like a fork. His eyes are bright,
clear and serene. He rebukes
with majesty and counsels with
persuasive language, his whole
address, whether in word or
deed, being elegant, grave and
characteristic of so exalted a
being. No man has seen him
laugh, but all Judea has fire.
quently seen him weep, and SO
persuasive are his tears that the
multitude are unable to restrain
theirs from mingling with his.
He is modest, temperate and
wise. Whatever this phenome-
non may be in the end, he now
seems to be a man of strange
beauty and divine perfection, in
every way surprising the chill
dren of men,"

THE ORPHANS CONCERT.
A Delighted Audience az Ola
Opera Hail Last Night.


He would indeed be cold and unap-
preciative who could fail to enjoy the
entertainment given at the old opera
nall in the court house last night by
chapter Of orphans from the Oxford n.
c., asylum.
Although very little in the way OF
advertising the concert had been done
beforehand, almost every seat in the hall
was filled, and never by an audience
more svmpathetic or nppreclative.
The concert began shortly after s
O'Clock, at the conclusion of speech OF
introduction on behalf of the children by
Col. A. 7. Davidson. This short talk
was made in Col. Davidson'S best style,
and pleased everyone, andpreparcd them
somewhat for the program which fol
lowed.
There arc twelve of the students OF the
orphan asylum in the chapter now trav-
cling IN the western part of the state
and which gave the concert last night.
Ten of these are girls and two boys, led
bv Miss Katie W. Marsh, the teacher IN
charge.
The names of the little people who had
places in the program last night are
Edna Rell. Annie Strickland, Mamie Hor'
ton, l.. Pittman, l.. Gregg, Maggie
Have. l.. Wood, Hattie Williams, Blanche
Fowler, Ben Brown and Cader koonce
The children are all between the ages
OF five and fifteen years. They all sing
well, and the voices OF several OF them are
remarkable for their strength and sweet
ness. Especially was this noticeable Ii
the singing of Hattie Williams, blanche
Fowler and Annie Strickland. The lat
ter bright eyed little miss OF perhaps
ten years, completely captured all pres
ent by her singing of "Marguerite. NJ
less praiscworthy was the vocal work o
Hattie Williams and Blanche Fowler, II
the duet, "Hark, my mothers voice,
hear" The Orphans Prayer, rcc'ta
tion bv Mamie Horton was very touch
ing. while the duet and chorus, "R'rnh
ing flowers to strcw on mothers grave
was so well rendered by the class that
was repeated near the close OF the enter
tainmcnt.
, Taken piece by piece, or as a whole, tn
entertainment was one OF which oldc
head. could well be proud, and rchecte
credit upon those instructors who hav
the children in charge. The little pcopl
knew they were before an appreciativ
audience and did their very best.

wheat Instead of Rye-The Re-
cent Rapid Advances Are Not
Warranted.

BERLIN. Aug. 1S.-The grain market
here closed fiat last night, but at the
opening this morning there was decline
in prices and the market was excited.
August rye which closed yesterday at
257 marks opened at decline of o marks.
80 ptenning, being quoted at 246 marks,
so ptenning. The decline in prices was
caused chiefly by news of the govern
ments action in ordering the substitu-
tion OF wheat meal tor rye in making OF
bread for the army.
There is a growing belief that the situa-
ton has been exaggerated and that the re-
cent rapid advance in prices wasnot war
ranted by facts. The liberal press con
tlnues, with increasing vehemence,
its protests in regard to corn
duties. painting in the darkest
colors dangers attendant upon further
hesitation upon the part of the govern
ment. The same newspapers declare
that industries of the country is decaying
and that wages in consequence are de-
clining in amount on all Aides.

CHICAGO, 1905 a. m, Aug. 1.-THE
exciting scenes in the wheat and corn
pits were renewed at the opening of the
board Of trade this morning. The trad
ing was Just as wildly nervous as it was
on Saturday Traders were inflamed
with the prospect of higher prices as the
result of the excitcdly higher cables
Liverpool was up the equivalent of three
cents per bushel, and the Paris country
markets were up the equivalent of two
cents.
When the bell tapped for the opening
of business, the pit at once became a
pondemonum out OF which came figures
for December ranging from 1897 to 1l3.
This was the top figure on the early bull
lctin. Then the price began to weaken
and with feeble rallies sank away and is
now quoted at 107l2, the lowest price
of the day. September corn is now 66ai
