An Effective Speech.

Harper's Magazine for June.
At meeting of the Temperance
Union, held in a small Pennsyl-
vania city sometime since, the at
tendance consisted wholly of
white people, with one exception
the pastor Of the African M. E.
Church. He was a full-bloodad
negro, as black as the absence of
light. The colored brother was re-
quested to address the meeting;
and rising in his place, he gazed
around upon his exclusively white
audience solemnly. Then he said,
Brethren and sisters, I feel ex-
actly like huckleberry in bowl
of milk"
1t was the most effective speech
of the session.

AS announced in the dispatches
to The State yesterday, there is
going to be 10 interruption in the
educational work at Clemson Col
lege. 1t is true that the college
has suffered a heavy blow by the
destruction of the main building,
but those in charge declare that
they will not allow this calamity
which has befallen the institution
to interrupt in any way the good
work which is being done. For
tunately the summer season is
near at hand and permits of such
a course being pursued.
Yesterday Governor Tillman re-
turned to tie city from Rock Hill,
and being the most prominent
member of the board of trustees
he was naturally asked for infor-
nation about the future of the
college. The Governor said that
he had received notice of the burn
ing while at breakfast in Rock
Hill on Tuesday morning and was
very much grieved .thereat. He
said positively that the State would

main building at once and carry

in the hands of the trustees would
permit. He said: 81 will say this

Wilmington Messenger.
Halley's comet is coming. But
it is as yet very far off, some two OF
three thousand millions of miles.
Professor Seryis writes to the New
York Sun:
"It passed across the sky twelve
years before the birth Of Christ. It
passed again when Nero was
Emperor; again when the first of
the Antonines had just begun his
pacific reign; again when the
Goths were preparing to attack
Rome, and yet again in the days
of Diocletian, the advancing Huns
beheld its transit in the year 373;
and it was blazing in the sky when
their Great King Attila was de-
feated at Chalons in 451,"

money, and that was but a small
drop in the bucket. They could,
however, he said, by stopping the
fitting up of the mechanical de-
partment make use of the money
now being devoted to this depart
ment.
From what can be learned here,
the blame for there not being more
insurance upon the building rests
upon majority of the members
of the board of trustees. It is
said by those who ought to know
that Governor Tillman endeavored,
when the insurance was placed, to
get the board to insure the build
ing for it's full value. Some of the
other members, however, thought
that considering the apparent
small risk the amount carried was
sufficient. Thus is the insurance
feature of the fire explained.
Nothing further has been Heard
from Clemson in regard to the fire
OF the present status, but the board
of trustees has been called to meet
at the college on Thursday evening,
and they will doubtless make full
investigation and all arrangements
for the carrying out of the plans
suggested by Governor Tillman.

CALHOUN, S. c., May 22.-Fire
was discovered this morning at
about 4:30 o'clock in the main
building of Clemson College, in
the cellar. This was the fatal mo-
n1ent, but the long roll beat and
soon every cadet was up on the
grounds, some with buckets, others
with the hose, waiting for orders
toEmove. Soon the hose was at
tached to the hydrant and the
command given to carry it into
the building where the fire was,
but after going as far as the length
of the hose would allow, 1T was
discovered that more hose was
needed, and that water was not to
beIhad in sufficient quantity to do
any good. This was the fatal mo-
ment, for should the hose had been
long enough and water in sufficient
qaantity this awful calamity, in
stead of being a reality, would
haye been in name only. Those
with the buckets had no place
where they could get water IN
sufficient quantities to be of any
service. The only places available
were the small faucets where the
cadets get drinking water: making
itampossible to get water in this
way.

people. Too many issues will only
confuse and divide US and we can
not afford to palter about lending
money on cotton and wheat
when we have not been able to
prevent the Lombard and Wall
street combination from accom-
plishing the enslavement of the
masses by the characterization of
silver, and the banking syste m
which enables those thieves to
control the circulating medium at
will. Let us give battle to the
enemies of liberty and prosperity
among the masses under the flag
Of "free silver, more greenbacks
and gold-all legal tender and all
receivable for any and all dues,
private and public" and we have
some chance of winning. Leave
methods. of distribution and
banking alone to be settled after
we win the fight on those issues.
Now, as to voting against caucus
control, I can readily and willingly
promise to sustain this policy and
vote on the lines l have indicated
without regard to any caucus. The
Northeastern Democrats have set
us an example on that line, which
will be sufficient excuse for all
time. The Senate Democratic
caucus has made concessions to
local interests which have destroy

goldbug Democrats of the House

Eastern Democrats and Republl-

caucuses when their interests are
at stake. 1t is time we of the
South and NV9st should do like
wise. The caucus was a good
thing as loug as /" served to rob
those sections; it becomes obsolete
when justice is sought to be
obtained through its agency. My

American Girls.

The Nineteenth Century.
An English girl travelling with
out her mother or old friend may
be safe, but she is looked at a little
askance by well-bred people, as I
have constantly noticed. Why?
Because it is assumed that, having
had the usual English education,
she is either not fit to take entire
charge of herself, or-it is too late
to matter.
An American girl travelling
alone is not looked at askance;
people may not quite know why,
but they recognize the custom of
the country. The truth is, in
America, where education, like
most other things, is ahead of US,
girls are capable of taking care of
themselves, and they habitually
do so take care. In most girls
schools, so I am informed, there
are physiological classes held for
the wise and decent instruction of
the girls in the main responsible
ties pertaining to physical life.
When the girl is about fourteen or
fifteen, the parents is applied to.
"Do you wish your daughter to at
tend these classes this term?" The
mother replies, eyes," or she re-
plies, "No, my daughter is young

building was lost, and after some
confusion, work was begun to re-
move the furnishings of the build
ings. A few books we're saved and
all of Prof. Welch's physical lab
oratory apparatus. The carpets Of
the two societies were saved, with
a few things from the museum.
By this time the chapel was be-
coming in danger, as the flames
were already leaping high. Seeing
that if the chapel was lost the bar
racks necessarily would follow,
every one seemed determined to
stand firm at this point against
the gulping enemy and to resist
almost to death his destructive ad-
vances. They were successful.
They conquered the dreadful mas
ter. They made him bite the dust.
Let praise and honor be ascribed
to-these young men for their hero
ism, for the exposure of their
bodies, even their lives, to the an
cry flames in defense of Clemson
College against this consuming
enemy attacking her thus in her
infancy.
The main building was soon
burned down, leaving only the
shell of the once magnificent
structure. The chapel, barracks,
chemical laboratory, experimental
station and mechanical halls still
remain uninjured, Consequently
the faculty has decided to go on
with their recitations just as usual,
using the above mentioned places
as far as possible and building
temporary recitation rooms where
they are needed. The board will
meet Friday, the 25th inst, and
decide upon what action will be
taken, but it is certain that the re-
citations and work will continue
just as h. retofore.
The whole building was insured
for only $4,000, nothing of course
like it's real value.
The cause of the fire is not
definitely known, though many
theories are offered to account for
it. Some think that as the museum
contained much loose, dry matter,
such as paper, straw, etc., it is
probable that a rat carried match
into some of it and consequently
the fire; others suppose that an in
cendiary caused the whole affair,
while others still hold that it is
highly probable that as there were
some brandy peaches in the mu-
scum and as some of these had dis
