A Peculiar Suicide,

AKRON, o., March 1S.-Guy Clifton
Wright, of this city, a travelling salesman
entered saloon here late last night and
called for glass Of seltzer. He poured
into it three drams of chloral hydrate
and coolly stirred the mixture as he
laughed and talked. Then he drank the
deadly poison. Turning to the proprie-
tor he said, with consummate coolness
"I'll be dead in five minutes. want
one more. I'll shake you dice for it,
Thinking that Wright was joking, the
saloonkeeper replied hanteringly:
81 don't like to take chances with q
dying man, but I'll go YOU"
The game began. Wright won the first
'horse'' and the saloon-keeper the Sec
ond. The latter smiled as he threw
four trays in the final round. Wrights
first dash yielded pair of fives, his sec
ond did not better them. Calmly he
tossed the dice the last time.
"Four fives," said he, II win," and
placing his hands conYulsively to his
head he dropped to the floor unconscious
and died in q few minutes. His wife's
desertion Of him led to the suicide.

Hon. George Johnstone, our Represen-
tative in Congress, has introduced Bill
which is apt to attract considerable atten-
ton, says the Washington correspondent
of the Ne,rs aud Courier. 1t provides for
the redemption of the bonded debt Of the
Government and the enlargement of the
volume Of the currency. It directs the
Secretary Of the Treasury to purchase
from time to time the outstanding bonds
due by the Government at a sum not
greater than their r. arket value. 1t also
provides that at each purchase Of bonds
he shall replace the amount extended by
issuing notes of the Government of like
denominations as the treasury notes now
issued and in circulation. 1t also directs
the Secretary of tho Treasury to coin all
gold and silver bullion which now is or
shall hereafter come into the possession
of the Government, which coin shall be
held for the redemption Of the treasury
notes so issued.

The Worlds Fair.
COLUMBIA, S. c., March 1t, 1892.

COLUMBIA, =. W, MaTcu lO, 1ooA.
To the People of South Carolina AS a
result of the call from the Columbia
Board of Trade for Worlds Fair Con-
vention, the work of securing an exhibit
for South Carolina at the Worlds Colum-
bian Exposition, has been inaugurated.
The Board Of Managers elected by the
Convention have Systematically mapped
out the State work, dividing it into sub,
County and Township Committees. They
are sanguine Of the success of the under
taking, but appreciate its magnitude and
the difficulties which they will have to
ry forward the work without the hearty
support of the citizens of the State at
large. By com bination of forces great
undertakings assume minimum proper
tions, and difficulties that seem insur-
mountable when approached with de-
termination to overcome them disappear
with miraculous rapidity.
Feeling that every citizen of South
Carolina should take pride in the States
exhibit We appeal to you to aid us in this
work. Do not think that you can be of no
service, and therefore fail To do your part,
but, be it great or small, do what you can
to swell the grand aggregate to such CO.
lossal proportions that all may be proud
of the display.
Money IS the main thing needed to in
sure success, and if every one who can
and will give only 81 we will have no
lack. But if you do not feel that you
can contribute money, you may have
some rare picture, some mechanical de-
vice, some piece of your own handiwork,
some relic of colonial times, some rare
specimen of mineral, or some specimen
of the taxidermist's art, all Of which will
be received with thanks by the commit
tee, and will be properly listed and re-
turned to you when the Exposition is
over.
You can also aid by your words Of
cheer and encouragement. If you cannot
praise the efforts Of those who are work
ing with purely disinterested motives, do
not cripple their efforts and dampen their
ardor BY adverse criticisms and attempt
to throw cold water upon the undertaking
by saying it cannot be done. 1t can be
done if every one would do all in their
power to aid in the work. Other States
are doing the same thing and shall we sit
down contentedly and see South Caroli-
ma, who in days past has been leader,
relegated to the rear because her sons
and daughters failed to bestir themselves?
Shall she be made reproach and by
word amongst her fair sisters-the Origi-
nal Thirteen? We trow not. Her ac-
tions in the past are guarantee that she
will not be left behind in the matter Of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition.
The State Board is doing ell in its pow
or for the success of the undertaking, and
We appeal for aid to your pockets, your
pride and your ingenuity. Help US and
thereby help yourselves.
By order of the State Board of Mana
gers. FRED A. SALE,
Secretary

They cared not for Men.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March Another
case of unnatural love, similar to the in
fataation of Alice Mitchell for Freda
Ward, has been discovered in this city.
Addie Phillips and Minnie Hubbard are
each seventeen years Of age. On Sunday
the two girls disappeared, and were not
found for three days, Miss Phillips. ON
her return home, said she and Minnie had
been together, She told her mother that
she loved Minnie and would rather be
dead than separated from her. She furth-
er said she cared nothing for the society
of men, and that Minnie was the only
person she could marry, and this she in
tended to do as soon as she secured some
money. Bliss Phillips is fine-looking
girl, and has been carefully educated. 1t

the two girls to separate them, and whom

Oyer.PrOductiOn OF Cotton.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March ls.-The
March report of the statistics of the De-
partment of Agriculture, issued to-day,
shows that the production OF cotton of the
world exceeded the consumption more
than 100000 bales in 1890, and further
greatly enlarges the excess in 1891, glut-
ting the markets, increasing visible
stocks during the past year more than
100000 bales, and reducing the Liverpool
price OF middling upland from 1-16d in
January, 1890, to l. Sd in January, 1892.
It states that in two years this country
has produced an excess above normal re-
quirements of more than 100000 bales,
and indicates heavy reduction in breadth
as the only possible remedy otherwise
the agriculture of the South will suffer
worse than Western agriculture ever has.
It declares that the cotton States must
introduce new crops, as the agricultural
population has outgrown the capacity of
cotton to support it.

Worried the Sup. r.iitioEs.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, March lS.-Anoth-
er phenomenal display in the heavens
attracted attention yesterday and added
new terrors to the situation Of the super
stitious. The sun was surrounded by a
small halo, and on either side appeared
a bright spot, OF sundog, while passing
clear around the heavens, and cutting
the sun at an anglo of perhaps 4S degrees
from the point of vision, was bright
band, showing in marked contrast TO the
the hazy clouds with which The heavens
were mottled.
The brilliant display of Tuesday eve.
ming and the curious appearance of the
moon for some time past made up Sc.
ries of phenomena that are acknowledged
by old sailors aud plainsmen to be un.
precedented. The moon one evening
this week had across its face in large
clouds perfect figure ofa cross.
Last uight il was the centre OF bril-.
liant auroral band, which passed up
ward to the zenith and downward to the
horizon. Superstitious people think
that these are the signs that portend
the speedy coming Of the last great
day.

Sweating Gold Coin.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Several large
banks in this city, which do business
with California, have been troubled of
late with many lightweight twenty dol
lar gold-pieces which are found in almost
every shipment of gold coins that come
from chat State. At first it was thought
that the friction Of the coins against each
other during the railway or steamship
Journey caused the loss Of weight, but
soon various suspicious features were no.
ticed, which make it all but certain that
the coins are subjected to sweating pro-
cess by electricity, which will extract as
much as IS cents on dollar from each
twenty-dollar gold piece, without materi-
ally affecting the face OF the coin. Treas
ury experts have seen so many such light
weight coins during the past few weeks
that they can now tell one almost imme-
diately without going to the trouble of
weighing it.
Several such twenty-dollar gold pieces
that had come to the Office of Zimmerman
& Forsyth, No. IL, Wall Street, were ex-
amined by reporter to-day. Under a
magnifying glass, one could soc that the
face of the coin had become somewhat
blurred by number of infinitisimal
pores, which covered the whole face,
while the edges were rounded or bevelled,
as though by wear at some time. How
eyer, the coins were so bright that they
looked like new. 1t was also noticed that
special care bad been taken by the
Sweaters" to select new coins, none Of
those tampered with dating further back
than 1891. 1t is believed this fraud is be-
ing practiced on large scale in Califor-
MIA, probably by Chinese, who have the
reputation of being the cleverest counter
feiters. In a recent shipment of 10000
to one of the largest banks Of the city,
which does business with California,
there were forty such under weight gold
pieces.
One dollar taken out of each twenty
dollar piece means good profit to be
gained by the simple process of suspend
ing the coin for a short time in an acid
fluid charged with electricity, The
Sweaters" naturally prefer to do this to
large gold pieces, because moro can be
gained from each coin, and because most
persons, especially in the Eastern States,
are less familiar with these particular
coins, and therefore less able to detect
fraud by the mere look and touch of the
gold piece.
The government is powerless, because
in itself the practice of suLjecting gold

purposes or otherwise, is not legal Of
tense, so that even if sweater or band
of sweaters were caught in their work.
shops, it would be difficult to indict them.
The legal ofense is only committed by
the man who passes the coin, and even
then the intention of fraud has to be
proven, Nothing can be done, therefore.
In the meanwhile, upderweight double
eagles keep pouring in, to be returned
again by the Treasury, with tho defaclng

How to Take Care of Lamps.


The two chief sources of trouble with
lamps are dirty burners and badly fitting
wicks. Lamps should be trimmed and
filed with oil every morning. Once q
week the oil container should be emptied
out and the small amount of dirty oil
thrown away. At least once a month
the burners should be boiled for few
minutes in soda and water. Be careful
that the wicks always fit exactly. II
possible when new wicks are required
the lamp burned should always be sent
to the place where the lamp was pur-
chased to be fitted with wicks, for not
only is it possible to have the wick too
small, but it is always quite possible to
have it too thin for the burner. There
should be a new wick at least once q
month if the lamp be in constant use.
Never turn down a wick and allow 1t to
glimmer, for that chars the wick and
then the lamp will either smoke OF
smell, or both.

A Simple sedative and romo.

Every woman knows the aching face and
neck generally brought home from hard
days shopping and from long round OF
calls and afternoon teas. She regards with
intense dissatisfaction the heavy lines
drawn around her eyes and mouth by the
long strain on the facial muscles, and
when she must carry that worn counte-
nance to some dinner party or evenings
amusement it robs her of all the pleasure
20 be had in it.
The sponge and hot water represent the
latest remedy in vogue. Bathe the face In
water as hot as it can possibly be borne;
apply the sponge over and over again to
the temples, throat and behind the ears,
where most of the nerves and muscles OF
the head center, and then bathe the face in
water running cold from the faucet. Color
and smoothness of outline return to the
face, an astonishing freshness and comfort
results, and if followed by nap of ten
minutes all trace of fatigue vanishes.
