money without clothes is
worse than clothes without

Leads to Tragedy.

William O'Brlen. grocery clerk, living at
bS7 MinDa street, was drinking in a saloon on
Fourth and Minna streets last night when he
got into an alteration with a man whom he
knows as Charley, also resident OF Minna
street.
They were talking about paying for drinks,
and Charley said that OBren took good care
not to put up drinks fOr anybody but himself.
YOU'RE liar!' yelled U'Brien. and his hist

Charley pulled out knife and made three
lightning slashes at OBrieb. Two made long
de gasnes IN bis right cheek, and the third
landed below the rght ear. seyering the eX'
ternal juguar.
O'Brien bed like stuck pig, and he was
hurriedly driven TO the Receiving Hospital,
where DR.. Taylor had TO put over dozen
stitches In his wounds.
Ths police are hunting for Charley, who dis
appeared when he saw the blood gushing from
O'Brien's wounds.
Charles Siebert was arrested by Officer Nc

night and taken TO the Southern police
station, where a charge of assault to commit
murder was placed against him.

A striking outat.

Sir Thomas Robinson, a wealthy
Englishman of the last century. was a
tall, uncouth man. and his appearance
was rendered still more striking by his
hunting dress, which consisted of a
tight green jacket, buckslin breeches
and fur cap. He once set off in his
hunting suit to pay visit to his sister
in Paris, and he arrived at the house
while there was a large company at
dinner. The servant announced ssAfon-
sieur Robinson, and in walked this re-
markable figure, to the amazement of
the guests. One of them, French
abbe. lifted his fork three times to his
mouth and each time laid it down with
out tasting the food. Unable at last
to restrain his curiosity he burst out
eagerly: Excuse me, monsieur, are.
you the famous Robinson Crusoe, SO
remarkable in history?'

STATE OF REBELLION
Situation In South Carolina Is Con-
SidGred Very Grave.
NO BLOOD WAS SHED SATURDAY
Militia Failing Him, Governor Tillman
Is EndeavOring to Mobilize 1900
Men at Darlington.

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 31.-Soutt
Carolina is in state of rebellion. A
fight occurred Friday at Darlington be-
tween spies sent by the government tc
report violations of the liquor law, and 6
mob of citizens of that place. One spy
was killed and the others fed. Several
persons were wounded in the conflict
Today passed without any further blood,
shed. but the situation is considered by
the cooler heads as being very grave.
Governor Tillman is very much worried.
and has telegraphed' orders to nearly
every military company in the state to
proceed here at once, the intention being
to mass all troops possible to go to OAR
lington. Already several companies
have arrived, but if the governor IS rely
ing upon action of these companies as a
safeguard, he is depending on forlorn
hope. The company from Newbury has
already disbanded, and troops from the
governors own county say they have
merely come in obedience to military
orders to be on the scene, and that they
will refuse to go to Darlington. All day

orders and disbanded. Today the Cor
don light infantry declined to go and
sent the governor dispatch, saying:
1--WE are in sympathy with the citizens
of Darlington in their purpose of the de-
tense of their homes.''
The Sumter infantry has refused to
obey the orders. The Bishopville COM
pany, of Sumter county, went to Oar
turned home, and would not per-
form the work expected of them. The
Fourth brigade, of Charleston, the larg-
est and best-equipped troop in the state,
has been. ordered to the front and will
not go.
FAITHFUL TO THE GOVERNOR.
Several companies. however, have
been more faithful to the governor, and
are now en- route to that place. A COM
pany from Orangeburg, one from Clar-
endon county and perhaps several other
companies will reach the seat of war to-
night or tomorrow. At Orangeburg to-
day, j. M. Stokes. who was defeated for
congress at the regular election, made
harangue, and organized company of
100 men, who have farmer as captain,
to go to the support of Tillman. It is
the governors purpose to mobilize L, 900
men at Darlington, but he finds the task
difficult in the extreme. He will ex-
haust all his power to suppress the

trouble. In the meantime the citizens
OF Darlington, Florence and vicinity are
idle, and all go armed, prepared for
trouble. Local dispensaries at perhaps
dozen points have been raided and
their contents run out. Scouting parties
have been after the constables who es-
capped yesterday, and while some of them
are safe, others are liable to be taken,
and in the mood of the people around
Darlington may meet with a speedy
death if their capture is effected by the
enraged people. The affair has intensi-
fed the bitter feeling in this state, and
not in years has there been such es-
arrangement between the different factions
and elements of South Carolina.

GROWN BY THE ANcIENrs.

Asparagus Is n Vegetable with Some
thing of a Pedigree.
OF all the plants used for food. there
is none which has been so long known.
or has had, SO to say, SO distinguished
Lineage as asparagus, says Chambers
Journal. Its record, in fact reaches
back to almost the commencement of
authentic history, as it is mentioned
oy the comic poet Cratinus, who died
about 425 B. c., and was a contem-
oorary of, though slightly older than,
Aristophanes.
Among the Romans, also, the tasty
vegetable was held in high esteem.
Sato the elder-not the gentleman who
vas of opinion that Plato reasoned
yell. but his great-grandfather, who
insisted upon the destruction of Car
hage, and who was born 234 b. c.
wrote work which is still extant,
De Re Rustica." and in it he treats at
ength of the virtues and proper culti-
vation of asparagus. PIiny, also, in
his Natural History (about 60 A. d.,
has much to say on the subject stOf
Ill the productions of your garden" he
fee1ingly observes, your chief care
win be your asparagus and he de-
votes several chapters and parts of
chapters to its many beneficent quail
ties and the best modes of raising it.
He asserts that, even in his day, the
soil about Ravenna was SO favorable to
its production that three heads grown
in that district had been known to
weigh Roman pound. As. however,
this pound seems to have been equal to
only about eleven of our ounces, it
would apparently have required four
OF the stocks to reach pound of our
weight; but this result, considering
the state of horticulture in those days,
may be looked upon as wonderful
enough, and has, in point of fact, only
been equaled in our own times.

often tanned and allowed the freedom

terminates. 1t is said to make. when

III WILLIAM LEADS A BAND.
The Kaiser Did Not Like the Way the
March Was Going.

The Kaiser Did Not Like the Way the
March Was Going.
A Berlin letter says: There is, of
course, nothing that Emperor William
cannot do. He knows everything, and
can give the most learned a good start
and an easy beating in all branches of
art, literature, music, soldering, or,
in fact, any other matter that mortal
man knows anything about. The mil
ltary band of the Foot guards, which
is about one of the best in Europe,
was playing march in the court-yard
of the Schloss a few days ago, but the
time did not suit William. He thought
he knew more about it than the con
ductor, SO he straightway emerged
from the palace, stopped the music
and, taking the baton from the band
masters hand, conducted the piece
himself to his beating. The musicians
were in a state of terror, but he
warmed them up to a galop time, and
when he had finished returned the ba-
ton to the conductor with the remark:
Next time you play that march play
1T properly. have given you the cor
rect time. Now dismiss the band, go
to the barracks and play nothing else
for a week" This order was religious
ly carried into effect, and for whole
week the guards knew no other melody
but that eccentric march, which no man
could keep step to.
Another matter which has upset
Williams equilibrium is the fact that
the people stare at him in church. He
doesn't like it, and has now ordered
that whenever he attends divine serv-
ice all seats of which he can see the
occupants, or from which he can be
seen, shall be filed by soldiers, so that
he may not be disturbed in his PRAYERS.
The soldiers are compelled to look
straight before them, and any devia-
ton of the head from the ''eyes front"
is punished by confinement to barracks
and heavy pack drill.
Although he does not initiate his
great-grandfather in criticising SER
mon IN the pulpit during the progress
OF its delivery, William nevertheless
follows in his footsteps with regard to
limiting its length, and shortly after
his accession issued strict commands
to the effect that none of the court
chaplains should preach more than ten
minute sermons. The kaiser saws by
enforcing this rule he has contributed
in no small degree to the extraordinary
revival of religious sentiment through
out Prussia that has signalized his oc-
cupancy of the throne. Certain it is.
he asserts, that ten-minute sermon is
lar more effective and beneficial than
one of twenty, thirty, forty or even
sixty minutes. 1t forces the preach
ers to be concise and to concentrate all |
that is best and strongest of his argu- |
ment in that brief span instead of |
scattering it over a longer period of |
tlme-a process that naturally dimin-
lsheS its vigor and its force
