SAD ACCIDENT TO MRS ELLIOTT NICHOLS.
 A sad accident occurred, Saturday night, at the home of Elliott Nichols, Mrs Nichols being the victim. It was about o'clock when Mrs Nichols was preparing the evening meal, that the oil stove on which she had been cooking exploded, whereupon Mrs Nichols un- dertook to extinguish the fire. Her clothing then took fire and had it not been for MT Thorp and others who hap pened to be passing, she would have burned to death, as she was the only one at home, MT Nichols having gone to at- tend to some business. When Mir Thorp arrived at the scene of the accident the back of the house had caught fire but it
 was exEinguished without much difficult ty. Dr Starkweather was then suro- moned and arrived as soon as possible
 but it was soon seen that the case would prove fatal.

STUDYING ANCIENT HISTORY. .


 There is a great call for news about the heroes of the Revolutionary War. The young people are looking up their great dead hundred years or less. I's all right. We feel like giving them all the news we can. The study of genealogy is not so dull as many think. Let our young people hunt the town and probate rec ords; also the libraries. They will find much to interest them. They had better look up old records than fool the time away foolishly. This and that old house has it's history, and how did this and that field get the name it goes by. Old rec ords tell.

A CHANGE FOR HUNTERS.

A large sleek old fox, followed by $ hound from the north end of Shelter Rock hill, came down within the borough limits, last Sunday morning. He was headed for church but was made to change his mind by cur dog which made lively work for old Reynard for g mile or two.

 There came near being a small sized riot in front of Ayres' shoe store on Main street, Bridgeport, last Wednes- day evening. One curious feature about it was that the participants was all young ladies and they was trying to get up irritation with the alligator boy that is on exhibition in Ayres' window. At last one charming brunette in tai Tor made suite with ch0ker, cravat, and shirt front seemed to get up more courage than the rest and with loving glance at the dear boy in the window, passed in the store and requested the genial proprietor to allow her to escort the young man to the ball. But MI Ayers had to decline the request as he could not consent to have this priceless display leave his place of business to at tend dance and be broken up the nex day.

Domestic life in India is without the

You never need tell a servant what

ordinary household has twelve SER

two horses, two grooms; one man to
run before you when you go out rid
ing, and take care of your horse; an
other man whose business is to collect
for your horses feed the grass which
grows in a vine-llke manner upon the
roads Then in summer time you re-
quire three to four men, who work
the large fans or ''punkas" over you
night and day whi.e you are waking
and while you are sleeping; then last
bat not least, a watchman.
This last institution is n peculiar
one. If you did not h3ve him you
would be liable TO find some

SPARE THE BIRDS.

Protest Against tho WantOn Destruc-
G!On OF the FsAthered TIibe.
An American dealer sold last year
1000. 900 bird skins AL were used
for ornamenting woman's attire. Wo-
men ought to cry down this vanity
that feeds and pampers the destruc-
tion OF the feathered tribes. The birds
sacrificed are, of course, those of the
richest plumage, and, of course, also,
those that will be least easily re-
placed. In fact if this thing continues,
American bird life of the gentler order
will pretty soon becone extinct Is not
the warfare the American humane
society has opened upon the bird skin
traffic wholly justi6able? We think
SO. The destruction referred to con-
tributes not one whit to human need
or human comfort 1t adds nothing
to the intellectual nothing to the
mental 1t is simply want1nness
practiced at the beck OF fashion, and
as silly and meaningless a fashion,
too, as ever was spawned from the
brain of a man milliner There are
birds In plenty that shed their plum
age, to supply the vain demand for
flaming head gear. Why should the
fashion monarchs be inexorable, and
also demand the bodies of our feath-
cred songsters?

and four others wounded during the five

enforcement of martial law in the counties
of Darlington and Florence have cost the
state $4,000 or $4,000 in actual exPendi-
lures and will entail the more expensive
legacy of a thorough reorganization OF the
militia on difficult and novel lines.
That Governor Tillman himself considers
the declaration of war failure is evident
from the tone taken by him in speech
dismissing to their homes the few compa-
nies of militiamen who have remained
since Sunday as sort of garrison for the
city. After heatedly denouncing the vari-
ous elements declared by him to be covert
ly defying the execution of the dispensary
act he gave notice to the troops that their
rather reluctant and blundering services
would not be required again to suppress a
revolt against the liquor law, whether ac-
tual or supposed.
