Fairfield Granite Wins.
News and Herald

The Worlds Fair committee on
awards has decided that the stone from
Winnsboro Granite Compsny's quar-
ries is entitled to first premium for
building and ornamental purposes.
This news has afforded Us intense graf
ifcation, and it should be hailed with
joy by every citizen Of Fairfield who is
interested in the success and prosperity
of local enterprises. The Winnsboro
Granite Company is by no means an
infant organization, and during its life
has met with many trying difficulties,
but the gentlemen who compose it
have exhibited unusual perseverance
and business pluck. Their energy has
been amply rewarded, and an already
successful business will be inestimably
increased by the favorable decision ren-
dered by the Worlds Fair committee.
The men who some years ago in
vested their capital in the quarries had
unfinching faith in the superiority of
the granite, and that faith has been
justified beyond all expectation.
The exhibit at the fair was insignih-
can't and unimposing, but quality will
tell in the end.

Then Uprose Mr. PETER.
From the WASHINGTON Post 7

From the Washington Post-1
No other Senator is quite..so punctil-
ious in his regard for the self-ordained
code of legislative rules as is Mr.. PETER
of Kansas. Whatever Mr.. PETER does
he is willing that his constituents and
the country at large shall know and
the pages Of the Record should embalm.
If Mr.. PETER is not upon the floor
during any part Of the proceedings it
is because of some sufficient reason to
the contrary. ....
Yesterday afternoon, while Senator
Stewart was drawing to the close Of the
second chapter of his continued re-
marks upon the President, Mr.. PETER
crept noiselessly around in the rear of
the seats and perched himself upon the
arm Of the chair nearest Mr.. Stewart.
1t was not intense interest in the sub
ject, however, that drew him there,
but the desire to gain point of van
tage from which to catch the eye of
the Chair.
AS soon as Mr.. Stewart finished,
with the announcement, II will con-
tinue my remarks tomorrow" Mr..
PETER loomed up over his shoulder,
saying:
"Mr. President, I ask leave of the
Senate to be excused from attendance
Tomorrow"
For a moment the Senate held its
breath-the presiding officer seemed
unable to comprehend the import Of
the request-then the request was laid
before the Senate, and, needless to say,
was allowed.

WILL GIRDLE THE EARTH.
A Monster Modern Religious Crusade
Proposed.

A movement to encircle the earth
with Il girdle of religious conventions
in the l,9OOth anniversary year of the
Saviour's birth is assuming definite
shape, with headquarters in Pittsburg.
The expedition will be entirely non
sectarian. The plan as outlined con-
templates rousing convention at San
Francisco as beginning. The expedi-
ton will then sail direct for Bombay,
India, after Whioh the crusaders will
visit Jerusalem, Cairo, Rome, and Lon
don. The final convention will be held
at New York. 1t is estimated that the
expense of the crusaders will not ex=
oeed $1,000 each, and 1000 persons are
expected toioin the expedition. They
will be absent from the country perhaps
a year, and it is the intention to allow
an interval of several weeks between
the conventions.

A FEMALE HERCULES.
Wonderful Feats of Strength of Miss Vic
torina, a Strasburg Girl.

The audiences of the variety thester
of the Crystal Palace, Of Leipzig from
whose stage many prime curiosities
have been promoted to wealth and
afiuence by emigrating to the dime
museums Of the United States, are all
agog at the present time over a FEM
enine athlete, Miss Victorina.
She is the daughter of the Crown
Lands, having been born at Strasburg,
and from the time she was eight years
old she was drilled in the arts of the
circus, having been a member of the
gymnastic staff of various circuses, un-
til she has developed into one of the
most prominent athletes who might
'do" even Sullivan.
Miss Victorina Isl handsome woman,
tall, muscular, and very graceful withal
in the various exploits in which she
exhibits her wonderful bodily strength.
TO lift hundreds of pounds in weights
with one hand is child's play to her.
She tears, bursts, and cuts in two iron
chains with links one quarter inch in
thickness, and stops the progress of a
cannon ball by catching;the missile in
her hand, thus robbing it of its trajec-
tory force.
This wonderful feat of catching a
cannon ball that weighs twelve pounds
at distance of ten feet from the mouth
of the gun, is one of the most wonder
full performances ever witnessed by
anybody. Prowess and absolute GER
tainty 60 hand in hand with ex-
traordinary strength.
Loaded down with 634 pounds,
gigantic balancing rod in her hands
and with heavy iron balls dangling
from her body, Miss Victorina displays
her almost supernatural strength to the
very best advantage. To lift 100 pounds
with her teeth is an easy task for the
female Hercules. With one thrust Of
her arm she snaps asundera a strong iron
chain like thin piece of cord. This is
done by the enormous tension which
is given to the muscles of her upper
arm. She also cuts in two Nith one
blow of her powerful fist a chain
stretched between two poles.
She closes each daily performance in
the tableau of the ironclad Germania,
her body encased in a steel armor and
balancing on her shoulder the barrel
of an enormous cannon.

VAN ALIEN CONFIRMED.
The Opposition was Strong, but the Nom:.
nation Went Through ny Vote Of
80 to p.

Especial to Atlanta constitutional
WASHINGTON, October 20.-After
three hours fight over Van Allen, the
Senate finally confirmed him this af-
ternoon by vote of 80 to %. The fight
in the executive sission was very lively.
Senator Hill, OF New York, did more
talking than any one there. He was
vigorous in his opposition to the mon,
ocled ambassador. German led the
fight for confirmation. Hot words
were spoken on both sides, but Cor
mans management, as usual, proved
successful.
Senator Hill, in his opposition to
Van Aliens confirmation, was only
able to carry three Democratic Sena-
tors with him. They we're George,
Irby and Vance.
The speech Of Senator Aldrich, Of
Rhode Island, carried the nomination
through. BE declared Van Allen to be
somewhat of dude but beneath his
dudish appearance, he said there was
a man of ability and integrity. He
knew Van Allen personally and knew
him to be such. This, from man of
Aldrich's standing in the Senate, car
ried the nomination through. But be-
sides this, both parties agreed that the
politics of the present day would not
permit Of men being turned down be-.
cause of campaign contributions.
Another card played in Van Aliens
favor was a statement from several
Senators that the New York Worlds
attack on him was personal. He had
refused to admit Pulitzer into his So
cial set and the editors attack was for
revenge solely.
It was said that if had he taken Pulit-
zer into his social set, the World would
have occupied different position.

the burial case, the burial lot, the car
rIages, the hearse and the mourning
all cost money. A few months ago a
young man Of our town died away
from home. His life was devoted to
his mother and his sisters, but it was
not insured end the express charges
and other expenses have been q griev-
GUS burden. How easily he could have
carried policy OF $1,000, out of which
he could have been buried and left q
good sum for his widowed mother.
wonder how many of these travel
ing young men carry policy for their
mother or their sisters. Filial love is q
sweet and blessed thing and the occa-
sional visits Of the boys to their homes
is a comfort and joy, but when death
comes untimely and unexpected the
bereaved ones can't live on sorrow. I
was Illuminating about all this because
one of our boys has sent home dupli-
cate of policy he has taken out for the
benefit Of his sisters. He will keep it
alive as long as he lives. He will do
mole. He will look after and protect
them when the parents have passed
away. That is parents great concern
what will become Of the girls-the
unmarried ones-when we are dead.
Will they have to live in penury or ac-
cept a home with kindred-a home
where they are perhaps not wanted
and where the feeling of dependence is
ever before them.
And so I thought I would write
letter and encourage young men who
love their sisters to carry a reasonable
policy for their benefit. / know many
girls who have been to the Worlds
Fair on brothers bounty and that is
all right, but it will be still better to
take life policy for their benefit and
keep the premium punctually paid.
twenty-five years ago I carried one in
the old Knickerbocker for the benefit
of my wife, but the company failed
and I quit in disgust. But they don't
fail now. There are plenty of good
companies solid as rock and there is
no excuse. Stop young man-stop and
think, and 7 know that you will agree
with me. Let us all take care of the
girls, married or unmarried, if they
are needy or dependent.
