Reynard on tho Rampage.

OAKLY, BERKELEY County, April
20.-About two weeks since was told
by friend living near Pinopolis that a
few days before that two negroes living
on the place, while walking along a road,
had been attacked by fox. One of the
negroes, having his axe, killed it.
Another fox came into the yard, and
upon being disturbed rstreated under the
corn barn growing. I thought no more
of the matter until a few days ago when
I learned that one night last week, on a
neighboring place, some young negroes
had been similarly attacked. One had
been bitten and another, who had been
attacked, killed that fox. This caused
me to make inquiry, and learned OF
two others who have been similarly
attacked. Two days ago medical friend
told me that, while visiting place some
five or six miles above Pinopolis, he
learned of negro child who had been
attacked and badly bitten on the hand
and thigh.
No one here has ever heard of the like
condition Of things before and cannot
explain it. Whether or not it is an
epidemic of rabies is the question asked,
and the thought that it may be causes
great uneasiness. If it is, not only is
there risk from being fox. bitten, but also
that the disease may be communicated
to dogs and other domestic animals.
Has any of your readers ever experienced
like condition of things?

resident Harrison and bis party left
"a Yashington more than a week ago on an
extended trip through the South, West
land Northwest, and at every stopping
place along the route the people have
given: them 8 grand ovation. Especially
has this been the case in the South. We
shave been diBgusted with reading the &C.
counts Of the homage paid the Presi-
dent Iy our.p people, and ne cannot find
proper words to express our contempt for
.their actions. Asthe official head Of our
great government, he deserves to be re.
cognized as such, but this could have been
sdone in:a conservative way. His position
sson the force bill and other measures that
Were before the last Congress, aimed di.
sIectly against the interests Of our people,
should not be forgotten. To-day he would
mot do anyt thing that would tend to unite
the interests of the North and South, if
sis would not benefit his party, and he de-
serves 10 feel the indignation of every
zhonest man Of the South. Itseems to us
that such demonstrations as has been
given ssMr: Harrison only tends to
strengthen the renegades in the South
9wHo have forsaken everything that is
Memorable for the sake of little official
pap. The North and every other section
i know that the ovations paid the Presi-
dent by our people is nothing less than
and tlattery, and we should not
Indulge in such foolishness.

This Is Democracy.

Mr.. Talbert says the labor convention
to be held in February, 1892, will be "a
peoples move" Mr.. Talbert, we suppose,
will support the action of that convention,
and if it puts a national ticket in the
field, he will no longer be Democrat 80
far as political affiliations are concerned.
He says he is opposed to third party,
provided the relief cannot be obtained
through the present parties" Suppose the
Democratic party, in Its national plat.
form, fails or re fuaes to endorse the sub
treasury measure, and the Republican
rarty should endorse it. Then, accord.
ing to his own logic, he would be obliged
to support the Republican ticket, for, as
we understand him, the party that en-.
dorses the measure will receive the sup
port of the Alliance element he presumes
to speak for. But suppose both the Dem
ocratic and the Republican parties should
repudiate the sub treasury plan, what
will be do then? Why, according to his
own declarations, he would go off inio
the third party movement. He could not
do otherwise to be consistent with his
own declared principles and purposes. If
this is straight Democracy, then we have
been laboring all our life under nis.
taken idea SIS to the true meaning of
straight Democracy.
Iu all his talk not one word does he
utter against the infamous Mckinley
tarif. That, to our mind, is the prime
evil of all the troubles and expressions
the farmers are complaining Of. It is a
living and winning issue, and to Grover
Cleveland, above all other men, are we
indebted for an exposure Of its glaring
determinations against the interest Of
the agriculturists and in favor of the
manufacturers and monopolists of the
country. But Mr.. Talbert says he is
against him.
The Democratic party is the party of
all the people. 1t is opposed to class
legislation, and for that reason, if for no
other, could not favor the sub.treasury
measure, for under that measure the
Eoney Of all the people would be loaned
to only one class, and at the rate of in
terest far below what all other classes of
the people, or even the government it.
self, could borrow at 1t would be class
legislation of the rankest kind. Besides
this it is claimed by some of the best
lawyers of the country that the proposed
measure is unconstitutional Easley
Democrat.

A Plot to Steal Children.

I Chicago, ILL, April 20.-A special
from Springfield, Ohio, says: The mys.
terry surrounding probably the most sen
sational case of child stealing since the
Charley Ross affair, has just been solved
by the arrest of Mrs. Efie E.. Cutler,
Miss Bruner, Miss Batchellor and Ellen
Talbot, on the charge of stealing the
Niles children at the instigation of their
father, Doctor Niles. The story of the
stealing reads more like romance than
q sober reality. Doctor and Mrs. Niles
have been fighting in the courts for the
custody of the children some time. Three
weeks ago, on the eve of the decision of
the court, the children were stolen aud
could not be found.
Miss Ellen Talbot, a dressmaker, has
confessed that she hired horse and
buggy and stole the children at 5 o'clock
in the morning from the house where the
sheriff had placed them for safe keeping,
and drove them twenty miles to lonely
country place, belonging to Mr.. and Mrs.
Cutler. Here they were kept in secret,
and allowed to see no one. Miss Talbot
further confessed that about a week
afterward she again went into the country
and visited the house where the children
were confined. They were taken into q
room, and the light haired boys, Paul
and Louis, aged respectively ID months
and years, we're shorn of their curls.
Some powerful hair dye was then applied,
and their hair became a deep black.
They we're then dressed in suits of girls
clothing which Miss Talbot took out for
the purpose of completing the disguise.
The children were then taken to Pitts
burg, and finally to little town in Mich
igan, (Howell, Livingston county,. The
Cutters were to get forty dollars for
stealing and taking care Of the children.
The father WAS arrested and lodged in
jail on the charge of child stealing, as he
is said to have planned the whole scheme.
It Is believed by lawyers and detectives
engaged on the case that the ofense is
clearly comprehended under the Ohio
statute on kidnapping or child stealing,
for which the punishment is from one to
twenty years in the penitentiary.
DR.. Miles had the children stolen, it is
claimed, because it was generally thought
the courts would give them to his wife,
and she threatened to put them in con-
vent, to which he was violently opposed.
Miss Bruner and Miss Kate Batchellor
were arrested last night for completely in
the kidnapping case. Miss Batchellor is
boarding house keeper with whom the
children were left for safe keeping. The
sheriff has received a telegram from Mich.
igan saying that the children will soon
he returned.

a New Sect in Pennsylvania.

W1LKEsBARnE, Pa, April 18.-A new
religious sect has sprung up in Pike
County. The members call themselves
the "anticipators." Zacharish Myers, a
farmer and God-fearing man, is the
founder, and already the membership is
large and increasing every day. Within
the last two months big stampede has
set in, and the evangelical churches are
severely crippled.
Mr.. Myers says one day last fall while
be was ploughing in his field big cloud
hove in sight in front of him. From the
cloud came voice. Mr.. Myers trembled,
but the spirit bade him not to fear. The
spirit spoke as follows: "Before the
century closes the world will end and
man shall be no more. 60 tell thy peo-
pie to prepare. Tell them not to wait an
hour. There must be everlasting prayer.
The world is wicked; iii recking in its
own corruption. There must be an end
to all soon."
Then without warning tne cloud and
spirit disappeared. Mr.. Meyers FASTENED
home and told what happened. Soon
the, neighbors heard of it and came to
Mr.. Myers for further information.
"Before We go any further" said Ny
ers, "we will organize God fearing con.
gregation," and then the congregation
Was formed. The founder of the new
sect says the new religion will be the
universal religion of the world before the
close of the world. Circulars are being
prepared embodying all the doctrines
and dogmas of the "new faith" These
circulars will be sent to the Pope, bish-
ops, priests and preachers, imploring
them to renounce their worldly religion
and join the Anticipators.
In an interview with Mr.. Myers he
said: "Don't call me preacher. I
don't propose to be one; but have
heard the Word of God. don't set q
date for the world to come to an end l
do not belong to that class of cranks.
Prayer and good works are our dogmas
of faith. We have no ceremony. We
devote two hours daily praying the Lord
to save US when the time for the destruc.
tion of the world comes"
"Do you think the people at large are
going to believe the revelation made to
you?"
"Ifthey want to save their souls they
will" Prophet Myers says the first sign
OF the destruction of the world will be
the falling from the heavens of huge
ball of fire. Then the great confagration
will start and continue until everything
is consumed. Myers is forty-eight years
of age, FIVE feet nine inches tall, and
rather stout and quite intelligent.

"A recent report Of the Government
bureau of statistics shows that our per
capita consumption of spirits is about
two.fifths less than it vas fifty years ago,
but we drink twice as much wine and ten
times as much beer. Our consumption
of tea has doubled, and we drink three
times as much coffee as re did fifty OF
sixty years ago. In spite of the activity
of our temperance reformers the facts
show that the consumption of stimulants
is increasing rapidly. If We keep on at
this rate, in the course of few genera
tions the American people will be phyai-
cal wrecks.
