Gov. TILLMAN, of South Carolina,
has written circular letter to the
Mayors of all the cities in that State
notifying them that unless they en-
force the dispensary law he will not
allow them their share of the rev.
enue Of the State bar-rooms. 1t be-
hooves Mayor down there to attend
strictly to business. If he overlooks
wink" given by constituent to
the drug clerk the finances of his
town suffer. On the other hand, if
he see that the law is enforced, he is
not only doing his duty but the city
treasury is materially aided. What
ever may he said against South Caro-
lina's liquor law, it must be admitted
that it develops business instinct in
Mayors and compels them to earn
their salaries

law.

THE Supreme Court of the United
States furnishes interesting in
stances of active longevity. Justice
Blatchford, who died recently, was
seventy-three years old, and was very
active up to the time of his death.
Chief Justice Roger b. fancy re-
NAMED on the bench until he was
lightweight. He began an auto
biography at the age of seventy
seven, but did not finish it. Chief
Justice Marshall, who served from
1900 to 1885, was eighty years old
when i'll health compelled him to
leave Washington. He was a delegate
to the convention for revising the
State convention Of Virginia when
he was seventy-four years old, and it
is said that though he did not speak
often in the convention, when he did
speak he showed that his mind was
clear and his reasoning as solid as in
his younger days. Chief Justice
Waite, who died five years ago. re-
manned on the Supreme Bench to the
last, though he was seventy-two
years old when he died. Justice
Strong, who is still living in Wash
ington, retired from the Supreme
Bench at the age of seventy-two.
Noah III. Swayne, who died In 1884,
retired from the Supreme Bench at
the age Of seventy-seven. Only one
of the present members of the SUI
preme Court is more than seventy
years old. This one is Justice Field,
who is now seventy-seven. All of
these eminent men did their best ju-
dicial work after they had passed
their SEVENTEEN year.

In Brazil.

Travelling in the interior of Brazil,
gentleman put up for night at a
farmhouse furnished in the primi-
tive style of the country; but on the
table, In company with a long tallow
candle, were placed handsome pair
of plated snuffers and its stand,
which the owner had received as a
present from Rio Janeiro. ~What
conveniences you invent In Europe!"

on taking of the candle-snuff, to
throw 1t about the floor, perchance
on the bench where / was sitting, or

and finger, put 1t carefully in the
snuffers, and held them up with a
look Of triumph at his highly amused
spectator.

metal. For lack of a more suitable
word the welding preparation Is
called solder, though, properly speak
ing, it is not an alloy or solder, but q
substance that, when combined with
tin solder and heated to a degree
sufficient to melt ordinary solder.
unites with the latter, producing a
perfect fusion of the two metals. The
use of aluminium has been restrained
by the absence Of some such method
as discovered by the Cincinnatian.
The process Of welding 1t after a
fashion has been known, but 1T was
unsatisfactory owing to the weakness
at the joint, which minimized the
strength of the metal. The inven-
tion is valuable one, for it will
hasten the day when aluminium can
be used In commercial quantities.

that the attack was nothing more than

j. M. Da Costa, his family physician,
was sent for. When DIR. Da Costa ar
rived he found that Mr.. Childs had
had slight stroke of paralysis, due,
as the physicians have since learned,
to the breaking of small blood YES

the brain of small clot of blood.
Another physician was called in.
The doctors at the time did not appre-
prehend any fatal results, as the
paralysis was slight and did not great

good basis to work upon in Mr.. Childs'
splendid constitution and orderly life.

the contrary showed slight signs OF

Shortly before 10 o'clock on the night
of his death Mr.. Childs' respiration
became embarrassed and his pulse be-
gan to flag. His physicians recognized
the signs OF approaching dissolution,
and although everything that medical
science and skill could do to prolong
life was done Mr.. Childs sank rapidly,
and at 3:0l o'clock the generous heart
that beat so kindly for his fellow-men
was stilled in death. Except his wife,
Mr.. Childs had no immediate family.

SECRETARY CARLIsLE's invitation
of bids for the new bonds provides
that offerings for gold only shall be
made. Commenting on this fact, the
London News says that the stipula-

America they are always going to the
verge Of trouble with ingenious flnan-

pull up in time" There is consider

THE sad ending of the Howard

THE sad ending of the Howard
case has not seriously depressed the
fraudulent industry of fabulous En-
glish estate claims. A Florida news
paper says that there are several
old.time residents Of Jacksonville
who are direct descendants and heirs
to an immense estate in England,
amounting to somewhere into the
hundreds of millions. This is the
"Townley estate" fraud, exposed in
the cable dispatches from London.
In an endeavor to check enterprise
in this form OF rascality the London
Times publishes report of all chan
Gerry cases of unclaimed money, and
1t appears that no really considerable
sum awaits any claimant in any case
of the kind.

1T is proposed to build ship can;

1T is proposed to build ship canal
from Lake Michigan to Lake Erie,
or practically from Chicago to Toledo.
The expense is estimated at $50, O00,-

Chicago over 500 miles nearer the
seaboard by water route than she
is now. With a ship canal to Toledo,
and another to the Mississippi River,
Chicago would soon become the COM

THE bill which has been recently
drafted to prevent cruelty to animals
on board ship is one which every
humane person will be glad to see
passed. Some such measure should
have been enacted long ago and a
stop put to the ill-treatment Of cat
tie on the ocean. The extent of this
cruelty can hardly be imagined, and
no doubt shippers themselves never
realized the gravity of the situation
until their suspicious were aroused

were put aboard to look into things.
