The Kaiser Liked Carp.

The German Emperor is very fond OF
carp. One evening last winter, when
he was SUPP ing with few male friends
In private, he ordered that a second
plate of fish should be served him.
The Kammerjaeger stayed away for
quite a while, only to return with a
long face and empty hands. The cook
is extremely sor. y, your majesty, said
the waiter, "but the carp is all gone. '
"How is that, Herr Minister of the
Royal House, somewhat sharply asked
the Kaiser of that gentleman, who was
at the table, do you buy so sparingly
of this delicious fish," 1T is not that,
/ assure your ma ,esty, said the min
lister. please send down for to-day's
fish-bill," ordered the Kaiser. The
bill was brought in, and showed that
on that particular day 3S5 pounds of
carp had been bought for the royal
kitchens. THAT is quite a liberal al
lowance, said the Kaiser; but when
you buy this fish in the future, please
buy half pound extra for myself, so
that am not compelled to 60 hungry"

WATER TOWER BURSTS.
A Huge stand-Pipe at Peoria CoIlapses
with Terrible Effect.

One killed, fifteen injured, at least
three of them fatally, and the destruc-
ton of $40, o - worth of property, is the
terrible sequence OF the collapse of the
West Bluff tower of the Peoria I'LL J
Water Company. 1t was at 1920 Fri
day morning that the accident hap
pened and its exact manner is perfect
ly inexplicable.
In 1889 the city disposed of its water
works plant and granted franchise to
the Moffitt, Ho1gkins a. Clark Com
pany, which afterward disposed of its
holdings to the reorganized Peoria
Water Company. Four years ago, ac-
cording ID one of the provisions of its
franchise, the company erected two
stand-pires, each OF CAPACITY of
] 100000 gallons. The one that fell
was 10 feet high. with diameter
of 20 feet. it was constructed of steel
plates of an inch thick at the base and
tapering to I at the top. A few days
ago it was discovered that there was
slight leak about halfway to the top,
and force of five men was set at work
to repair the damage. They were still
at 1t, when the great structure toppled
over. There was a succession tf re-
ports as OF pistol shots, followed by a
general collapse, the water rushing in
torrents in all directions.
The neighborhood is dense'y popu-
lated, and when the cracking noise
was heard the re ideLts, who surmised
what was happening, rushed TO the
doors only to be met by solid wave of
water several feet high. The scene
which followed was horrible in the ex-
treme. Death AID destruction was on
every hand, and it would be hard to
conceive more com olete desolation.
Houses were crushed to pieces as IL
constructed OF paste board, big trees
were torn up by the roots, sidewalks
were wa he'd away, and big steel plate
portion OF the stand-pipe = were
hurled a hundred feet away.
Boy Killed by n Failing Plate.
The report OF the falling structure
was heard for books away, and within
an incredibly short time the neighbor-
hood was thronged with an excited
crowd bent on rendering aid to the
many who had been killed or in ..ured.

Settling a Question of Sex.

"Ycnder she comes" said tall, lank
man, who was sitting on seat in the
shade of the station building.
"Yonder cones who?" asked fat,
good nature1 looking man, who sat
near him.
THE train we've been waiting for
nearly half an hour" said the first
speaker.
"Why do you say 'yonder she comes?'
asked the other.
"Well, that's the customary way OF
speaking of train, isn't it: And GUS
tom is what fixes things. Everybody
says 'yonder she comes in speaking
of a trains approach.
well, insist you should have said
'yonder he comes said the fat man.
"Oh, pshaw! nobody ever says he
in speaking of train, returned the
lean man.
We'll, I'll agree to leave it to the
station-master and see If it wouldn't
have been better for you to have said
'yonder he comes,'" added the fat man.
Both agreed to it, and when they had
found the station-master the fat man
asked.
What is the sex of the train just
drawing near to the station?"
Its mail train. answered he.
And the lean man forthwith went
out and bought good cigar for the fat
man.

Notable Electrical Advance.

The great progress in electrical
Ecience has all taken place since 1871.
Before that time there seemed to be
little more of it than the telegraphs
and few philosophical instruments
for use in schools. Now one is amazed
at what has been accomplished. In
ventors contrived the duplex, the
quadruplex, the sextuIlex, and auto
matte instruments in quick succession;
then with a stride came the telephones
and arc and incandescent lights; then
the motor, and last of all the trolley
car. We omit che hundred and one
little things in domestic economy util-
izing electricity, and say nothing OF
cooking or heating. The trolley car in
itself is revolutionizing suburban ex-
istence, AMI will do much to relieve
the crowded condition Of our cities.
These cars move so quickly and with
such frequent intervals, they are sim
ply revolutionizing transportation fer
short distances. 1t is we'll to say that
one great impetus to this progress in

Ia Life short or LonR2

II life is so short as some think it is,
Il may be made TO seem much longer

magnifed by neglect and delay. We

Miss Ida NJ. Fleming, Z s. Carey ST.,

she was subject to frequent attacks OF
neuralgia, and tried any. number OF

him to the ground. 1t was fully half
al hour before mis- body was dug out
and removed to his home, less than a
block away.
All his companions were injured, but
their escape from instant death Is

of State troops to the scene. But the
militia refused to move, and one com
pany disblnded, amid the cheers of the
people of Columbia. But the Sumter
light artillery responded to the Govern
or's orders, and special train carried
them to the scene. When they ar
rived everything was quiet, and they
returned to Sumter. Meantime the
constab.es were being closely watched,
and resolute citizens, thoroughly
arou sed, were determined that they
should not 60 forth to raid private
houses. Resolutions were adopted to
the effect that q mans house is his

clared they woIld defend theirs.
Squads of men had been sent from
Florence and Sumter TO assist the citi-
Zens, if need be, and the first m " e.

signal for an outbreak.
These spies had been REINFORCED at

telegraph that bloody fighting was in
progress.
When Gov. Tillman heard of the
trouble and was to d that the spies had
taken to the woods, he said he could
not blame them when there were four
or five hundred men after them. The
Governor blames the Columbia and
Charleston newspapers for the out

vised citizens to resist any attempt at
search of private residences.
