How a Senator Avoids Society.


In society matters Senator Davis of Mime
sofa prefers to finesse, says the Washington
Ne1os. Knowing his dislike Of society. Mrs
Davis some days in advance of an important
official reception eXacts an iron bound, triple
locked promise from the senator to accompany
her. After more or less hesitation the promise
Is given, and she goes contentediy about her
duties
AS she enters the house at 8 o'clock on the
eventlul day the maid meets her with a troubled
lace and eXclaimS
20, Mrs. Davis! please go at once to the sena-
tor; he is very SICK"
Mrs Davis flies upstairs in great alarm. to
lind her husband with bandaged head q groan-
ing with pain. She throws off her wraps and
uses all the known remedies trying to mitigate
his suffering, though the exact seat of trouble
is suspiciously elusive. After tue first fear is
over Mrs Davis begins to suspect the ruse and
quietly remarks:
II an going to countermand the ord er for the
carriage, as you are not well enough to go to
The reception"
The sick man exclaims with startling vigor:
NO; don't do that. You must 20 and take
my verbal regrets to the Pre- sident."
why, but Cushman, cannot go without
you"
You must; you must. b." is the decisive reply.
II must be represented at the white house re-
ception." And that settles it.
The door hardly closes upon Mrs. Davis be-
fore ne rings for the mad and says as he takes
the bandages Off his head:
Light the fire in my study. l feel so much
better now that think can work
Mrs. Davis returns home somewhat early a
little anxious about her hush and, in spite of
her suspicious, and the first thing she hears as
she enters the house is loud burst OF laughter
from the upper regions. She follows IL to its
source and as she pushes open the door of the
study there sits Senator Davis surrounded by
half dozen choice spirits, all filing in the
chlnks OF spicy stories with puffs and spiralS of
tobacco smoke. AS the senator sees his wife's
figure IN the door he stops Snort in his tale and
as if in response to the accusation in her laugh
ing eyes, says lamely:
"Er-er. felt so much better awhile ago that
l got up"
And Mrs. Davis put away this experience for
future reference.

Between Gov. Tillman aud the Presby-
terrain church, poor old South Carolina
seems doomed to become more puritanical
than straight-laced New England ever was
The governor is to be the guardian of the
black bottle and say just when, what, and
how much his charges shall drink, and the
Presbyterian church, if it has its way, will
dictate when the people shall work and de-
eide who are to have the benefits Of re-
ligion. However. the second Presbyterian
church at Columbia 10 not the only church
organization. nor is the Presbyterian the
only faith, in that or other states, in which
dyspepsia is mistaken for righteousness
There is too much narrow gauge religion
extant. The church that shuts its doors
against poor, honest women or men because
necessity requires them 20 work few
hours on Sunday, is not church founded
upon the Rock Of Ages. It is not church
animated by the spirit of him who taught
charity as the greatest of Christian virtues
and warned the Pharisee against his self
righteousness.

The Savannah base ball team did not
cover itself with glory during the first
week of the season. However, it may be
that the leaders OF the week played in luck.
There is yet lots of time for the young men
who represent this city on the diamond to
catch up with the leaders. and even to pass
them. Mr.. Manniog has a company Of
lively players with him, and if they should
fail to go to the front in very short order
now their patrons would be disappointed in
them. This week they positively must
show those Charleston boys trick or two
in ball playing.

Faribault, the Minnesota town that lately
came into prominence in connection with a
free school system combining secular and
religious training, is again at the front
with novelty-a fumigated wedding.
The bridal party, on it's way from the
brides residence to the church, stopped for
a moment at the house Of a friend. There
was scarlet fever in the house. AS soon as
the couple stepped into the pest place their
friends deserted them, and notified the
health authorities, who forthwith arrested
and quarantined them until the bride had
been thoroughly fumigated with sulphur
candles. Then the ceremony went on. 1t
Is to be hoped that the smell of the candles
was not suggestive Of what their married
Aife will be.

Pensiors Bal Politics.

From the Netg York Herald tIld.)
This pension business must be lifted bodily
out OF politics. No man ought to receive a
pension because he is a democrat or refused
one because he is republican. The wounded
soldier is ward Of the nation and should have
all that the public gratitude can safely grant, but
the Rrabber. the humbuR who loafed in the
rear while regiments we're fighting at the front,
must be shown the door aud told TO make him
but we rather think Judge Lochreu will be
equal to it.. This attitude Is demanded for the
good name Of the republic and also for the good
name Of every brave fellow who helped to
save IT,

A Boston court has ruled that steam
whistle is not "fog horn" under the law,
and the vessel that substitutes a steam whis-
tie for the old-fashioned tin horn does so at
its own risk. The schooner Florence was
run into during fog and badly damaged
by the steamer Parthian off Sandy Hook.
The schooner was provided with steam sig
nal apparatus, which she used up to the
time the steamer struck her. Her owners
brought suit for $4,000 damages. which
was refused for the reason stated. This is
one instance OF paying dearly for the
whistle

The court Of st. James is not likely to regard
Mr.. Bayard with dist svor on the score Of the
Sackville- West episode. The central figure OF
that contretemps deserved the treatment he re-
celved, aud although some of the English news

angry comment, there was nothing in the ac-

official exception could properly be taken. Mr.

will we enter into n compromise. Our
plans are laid down, and we are supported
in the operation by the stockholders Of the

the road as we think IL should be run and
will adhere strictly TO these plans. OH
cially / am not aware that strike exists
MS our reports show that trains are being

l.. H. Clark, chairman of the grievance
committee, is strong in his assertions that
there is only one issue for the strikers, and
that is for the strike TO win. He said:
"rhere are n great many desertions of
new men so far. and they will continue TO
desert. The company is trying to stam-
pede our men, but IL will feil in the at
tempt. In fact, the company is surprised
at the stand our men have taken.

names. / received word from the New

The Italian Crisis.

LONDON, Nov 27.-The Times CORE
spondent at Rome says that no progress has
been made toward a solution of the crisis,
although King Humbert has seen all the
leading Italian statesmen. The Radicals
at this moment are masters of the situa-
tion, and dissolution, with a weak govern
ment which had not the confidence of the
country, would only result in sending the
Radical deputies back to their constitu-
encies with all the prestige of such vic
tory, and with the exposure Of bank scan
dals and parliamentary corruption TO Gre
ate an agitation which might endanger the
dynasty.
