Baker, while not the Grst choice of the
Briggs men in the general assembly for
moderator gave him their votes after DIR.

upon the regularity of the appeal, and
whether or not it should be entertained,
coming as 1t does direct from the presby-

SOUTH ,cARoLlNA's SALOONS.
How Governor Tiilman wnI Conduct the
State Liquor Dispensaries.

NOW 0oNefuor Iulmun Will Conuuct tne
State Liquor Dispensaries.
COLUMBIA, y. c., May Ex-Governor
Tillman had some interesting things to
say about the manner In which South
- Carolina's liquor dispensary saloon will be
conducted. He has ordered badges of
special detectives who will make arrests
seize whiskies and see that the law is prop
erly enforced as well as keep an eye on the
county dispensers and the social clubs.
The different beers used In the dispensary
will be numbered instead of named. All
the beer must stand on It's own merits, and
will be sold at the uniform price of fifteen
cents per bottle.
The cheapest whisky will be reta.led to
the customer at 80 per gallon down to
twenty cents for half pint. The gov
ernor said that since he had been investi-
eating the subject he had discovered two
things: First that very little honest liquor
Is sold in this state, most of 1t being COM
pounded liquor. Second, that the dealers
have been using vessels from two to eight
ounces below the requirements. 1t has
been watcred as well as doctored, colored
and sugared.
"The whisky that Eill be sold by the
dispensary," said he, Twill be from 20 to
30 per cent. stronger than that now sold
and there will be an absolutely honest
measure and an absolutely pure article.

of liquors from different parts of the state

arose early and, accompanied by her hus.
band, Prince Antoine, and lady in wait

the street to Lafayette park and took
short stroll about the walks. They were
soon Joined by Commander Davis, who
had previously called at the infanta's
apartments. They proceeded to st. Mat.
thew's church, block away and attended
mass.
It had been stated that the infanta
would attend IL o'clock services and 10
consequence there were only the usual
number Of early churchgoers present. The
! contrast between this and the infanta's
last attendance at church was very
marked. A week ago she worshipped iu
Havana, and grand display was made
In honor Of the presence Of royal person
age. Yesterday she entered the church
quietly, attracted no more attention than
the ordinary churchgoer, sat In the body
of the church among the other worship
pers, and her exit created but little excite.
ment.
After services the party, under the escort
Of Commander Davis, were driven to the
Washington monument, through the Agri
cultural and Smithsonian grounds and then
returned to the hotel.
During the early afternoon the infants
received callers, among them Secretary Of
State Gresham, Sir Julian Pauncefote, M.
Patenotre, Admiral Luce, Mr.. Pax Chung
Yang, the Corean minister and others in
official and social life At o'clock Secre.
tary Gresham drove the infanta and her
husband to the Soldiers Homo.
Last night the infanta, Prince Antoine,
the Duke de Tamanes the Marchioness OF
Asco Hermosa and Commander Davis
dined with Senior Murnaga, the Spanish
minister, at the legation. Today the prn.
cess and party is devoting to sight seeing,
and are visiting the government buildings
and other places Of interest.
Saturday the infanta visited the White
House and was formally, but warmly, re-
ceived by the president and Mrs. Cleveland
soon afterward. Mrs. Cley ,land called on
the infanta in state, thus settling in nd
mirable manner the much discussed ques-
tion of how the Spanish princess should be
officially treated.

Catholic mission orphanage accompanied
by three teachers, were returning to the

her, threw her down and kicked her saw
agely about the body, and when she at
tempted to rise again, caught her by the
throat, severely choking her, afterwards
wrenching off her head dress and tearing
1t To pieces. Five of the ringleaders were
arrested. The children were also badly
bruised.
Some rough experiences were meted out
to Mr.. Begnal at Chiebbsin. Begnal, who
went to the rescue Of some ladies who
were being roughly handled, was chased
by men with drawn knives and had to run
for his life. lie found refuge in the store
of a friendly Chinese who secreted him.
A native Christian teacher In the employ
of the American mission at Jentsun was
laid hold of by roughs and given severe
beating, which made him an invalid for
more than fortnight. He took his case
to magistrate, who ignored him. Some
of the magistrates underlings even reviled
the teacher for being Christian.

beauties of the fair to them, but on the
whole the crowd was an orderly one. Men
kept their tcmpers evidently buoyed by
the belief that the day would be the last Of
Sunday closing. 1t was by far the largest
Sunday turn out since the exposition
opened.
Transportation lines and the army OF
fakirs located in the vicinity of the grounds
did an enormous business. From early
morning till dark the elevated road, the
cable lines. the steamers and the suburban
trains poured a continuous stream Of
humanity into the streets surrounding the
grounds. Dozens Of policemen were kept
busy in preventing street blockades The
pressure was in a large measure doubtless
due to an i'll defined hope that the closing
order might be revoked during the day.
Many doubled the truth of the announce
ment that the fair would be closed until
denied admittance by the gatekeeper.
The fakirs fourished as never before.
The crowd had money, and not being able
to spend it in the exposition they turned
to the cheap amusements in the vicinity.
Hundreds of shouters yelled themselves
hoarse and rendered the day hideous in
their efforts to secure their share of the
golden harvest. As night drew near the
rush for home began, and for two hours
every means of transportation was tested
to it's fullest capacity.
The Sunday opening question was vigor-
ously discussed at the meeting of the Trade
and Labor Assembly yesterday. 1t was
