Placing the cause of the College far
above the ENHANCEMENT of faction or
the antagOnisms of party, the commit
tee commend 1t and its large issues, not
to its Alumni only, but to the entire
community of State, which, in its
heart of hearts, touched by its lofty in

sentiment and that patriotic duty
which make up South Carolinas crown

not to turn their backs upon their

of other States, when the means of an
ample liberal education are afforded at

In conclusion, the committee, in the
discharge of their further duty in the
premises, call upon the Alumni of the
College, in every County In the State,
to organize Alumni Associations, to
the end that they may advance the
best interests of the College, and to

may need the help of Beneficiary Schol-

No Trade Mark.
WASHlNGToN, Aug. 3O.-The Com
missioner of Patents rendered deci-
sion to-day in the matter Of the appeal
to him of the state of South Carolina
from the refusal of the examiner to re-
gister trade mark applied for in the
name OF the State, consisting of the
word "lalmetto' to be printed on its
liquor labels, together with the arms OF
the State and the name of the liquor
1t was stated to be the intention of the
State officers of South Carolina to enter
markets outside of the State and out
side the Union as a Vender Of liquors
for profit and that the authorities had
sold a case of liquors bearing the trade
mark in Canada.
1t was claimed by the appellant that
the State possessed the full rights of "A
trading corporation, and that it might
undertake Il business Of this character
to be cOndcuted outside as well as with
in the State limits, and that the authori
ty for this was found in the provisions
of its recent liquor legislation. The

Sir George Was Astonished.

After division of the House of

Sir George Young, who had been
drinking all day instead of attending
to his Parliamentary duties, insisted
on addressing the House; but, begin
ming with II am astonished, could
proceed no further. When he had
repeated these words seven times,
the House was convulsed with laugh
ter. The baronet appealed to the
Speaker, who pleasantly inquired
what he would have him do Sir
George grew very warm at this, and
declared he would not give up his

peating the word a dozen times more.

The Kabak.

There is one house in the center
of the village which blasts of two
stories and looks more imposing,
though not less dirty and ruinous,
than it's neighbors; this is kabak. A
greasy and begrimed swing door opens
into the midst of the pandemonium
Here are the souls in all their glory.
Here we see the curse of Russia i'm
persOnitied. Half a dozen mOujiks are
lying about the floor quite drunk, a
dozen others are in varying stages of
intoXication, few are still fairly
sober, and two or three are drinking
tea.
Among these last is Stcpan Abra-
mitch, the proprietor. This man is
observable among the crowd of mou-
jiks because, unlike them, he wears
his shirt European fashion, not out
side his trousers, as do the mouiiks.
If the Russian proverb is true, then
Stepan is not to be trusted, for the
saying runs that a Russian remains
honest so long as he wears his shirt
outside his trousers; as soon as he
hides away his shirt tails, away 90
the qualities of truthfulness and
honesty with them. Stepan looks
sleek and we'll fed, as, no doubt, he
is, for he fattens upon the substance
of the community.
All the money earned in Drevno
goes one way, and that is into the
Golfers Of Stepan Abramitch. He
does not like the look of us: are we
spies, secret police, or. least probable
of all, customers? We order some
tea, however, as an excuse for our
descent upon his premises, and en-
deayor to tolerate the awful atmos-
phere of the place while we look
around. Temple Bar.

Perhaps the Spaniards, once well

tempt them to yield the ground won

MORE than 1900 persons were
killed upon surface railroads Of all
kinds in the United States during the
past twelve months. Add to this
CHASTITY record the two thousand
crippled and manned victims, and the
total is appalling. OF course, the
overwhelming majority Of the acct
dents were on through railroad routes.
They seem to point directly to the
imminent need for the adoption of
some new system Of signaling.
What the pubic requires is sy stem
which shall render collisions and tel
cscopings practically impossible. 1t
is thought that the electric train
signal may be the solution Of the
