During the early hours OF the night
men moved softly about the hotel Of
fee whispering mysteriously, or sat
near the stove discussing some matter
in low tones. The landlords wife had
gone to the lady's room, ostensibly
for womanly chat, but really ON
mission ut Johns request, and when,
an hour later, she silently glided into
the Office score of rough miners sur
rounded her.
"She is just going to bed" the wom-
an said. The poor creature is tired
aud all worn out, and induced her to
take small dose of laudanum. She
will sleep like top. The little girl is
sleeping soundly, and / assisted the
mother to place the few cheap pres
cnts she had purchased in the little
stockings hanging on the back OF
chair near the bed. The woman took
hers off just before came away, and
they are lying on her shoes near the
foot of the bed"
Along after midnight, had not Mrs.
Maynard been securely locked in the
arms of opiate-induccd sleep, some
very mysterious transactions would
have met her eyes. She would have
seen honest old Johns bewhiskercd
face ut the opening thus made, his
head cautiously enter, and his keen
eyes peer around In the dim light
which came through the window from
the winter moon. Then she would
have seen his burly form come noise
lessly through the opening, move eau
tiously to chair and remove there
from the tiny, present-laden stockings.
She would have seen the great form
stoop and would have heard the
searching fingers moving over the
floor, and then have seen tho miner
assume q half STOPPING attitude, and
move away grasping the baby stock
ings In one hand and u pair Of much
larger dimensions in the other. But
she sweetly slep. on, unconscious that
her room had boon invaded bya warm
hearted representative of Santa Claus.
10, mamma, mnmma, wake mp. I
want to tell you something"
The widow started from her slec,.
81 had SUCH funny drSam, mamma"
the little one said. II dreamed santa |
Claus was In here, but he didn't look q |
bit like our old Santa lie was q great |
big man with long black whislcrs. and !

moonlight that came through the MIN.

A TARTLETTER TO TILLMAN
DarlingtOn'S Mayor Hints That He
Don't Mind His Own Business.

The City Council Endorses the Letter
Before 1t is Semitic Mayor De-
mics the Governors Right to De-
mand Satisfactory Assurances That
He VIII Enforce the Dispensary
Law.
Charleston, S. c., Jan. 31.-A special TO
the News and Courier from Darlington,
S. c., says: when Gov. Tillman's letter
In reference TO the dispensary law was
received by Mayor Dargan meeting of
the city council was promptly called.
Mayor Dargan, at this meeting, sub
mitted the following letter to Gov. Till
man, which met with the approval of the
council, and was ordered to be forwarded
at once:
Darlington, S. c.. Jan. 80. 1se4.-Hon. B.
X. T1llman, Governor, and Chairman Of the
state Board OF Control Columbia. 5. G.:
Dear Sir:-1our communication OF the 18th
inst. has been received and its contents
noted have carefully read the dispensary
act and am familiar with its several pro
visions relating to the powers OF mayors and
policemen, and especially with the section 10
winch you have invited my attention. 1 find
nothing IN the act in question, or in any other
act OF the legislature requiring the mayor or
the town council of Darlington to give
you or Mr., :. p. kerYin, satisfa tory, or other
assurance that we will obey this or any other
law. AS there is nothing in the act giving
either OF you authority to require such as
Suranee, and as am not aware Of any other
law requiring me TO give, or you, or Mr.. J. p
herVlh, TO exact promises as 10 my contem-
plated othcial or unomclal intentions, it ap-
pears singular that either or both of
you should allow your respective boards
TO delegate you to exact promises from
onclalS with whose business you
have no concern whatever. / am not aware
or the fact, which you have announced to me
by implication, that the mayor and town
council OF Darlington have violated this par
tlcular law or any other AS to the lnforma-
ton you say the state board of control has
received. l know nothing Of its source or
reliability, as you failed 10 en1ighten me, but
assert that it is incorrect though in doing so
am fully conscious OF the fact that it is not
worth my while to say 50 to you at this time,
as it is very easy to believe what one wishes
TO believe. Yours respectfully.
wv. F. DARGAN
Mayor of Darlington, s. @.
This letter was mailed to Gov Till
man this morning and leaves no doubt as
to where Darlington's city council stands.
1t may be interesting to add just here
that the total amount received by the
town treasurer since the opening of the
dispensary aggregates only 1892 49,"

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value TO health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

HINKLE's FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Judge TwiEgs and Mr.. Berner the
Speakers of the Day.

Americas, Ca, Jan. 31.-As indicated
in last nights report of the Hinkle trial,
Judge Twiggs occupied the entire morn
ing session to-day, having spoken in all
ABOUT eight hours. While his speech was
much longer than any of the counsel on
either side who preceded him, it failed to
make any decided impression upon the
public mind 1t was more plethoric than
powerful; more voluble than convincing.
AS caustic critic expressed it. it re
minded him Of the mercy of God, sit en-
dureth forever but, unlike his wisdom,
was not past finding out"
At O'Clock, when Mr.. Berner rose in
his place to open his argument for
the prosecution, there has not been for a
full hour single seat or standing place
unoccupied, and during the three and a
half hours he stood before the Jury in one
of the most masterful arguments that
ever fell from mortal lips, he was the cen
trail figure of suppressed enthusiasm and
admiration. His presentation of the facts
and law in the case will hardly be CON
cluded before noon tomorrow. No words
could exaggerate the favorable impression
made on every side by his calm and
powerful arrangement of the prisoner at
the bar.
