Fire at the Court House.

At about half past eleven o'clock on
Christmas eve an alarm Of fire was
sounded, ringing out its peals of terror
on the still cold air. Ii was fortunate
that owing to the fact of its being on
this particular night when many were
gathered in sundry places about the city
to celebrate lin what they deemed n
fitting manner) the birth of our Savior.
Many people responded to the call. The
cry was. "the court house is on fire."
and in less than five minutes more than
fifty men appeared on the scene. 1t was
found to be in one Of the basement
rooms Of the Jail. and was supposed to
have been set on fire on the inside by
some prisoners who had been run in by
the marshal for being drunk and dis
orderly. The fire was soon extinguish-
ed, il being confined to the door, door
castings and floor.
In this connection we feel called upon
to again direct the attention of our
towns people to the fact that We have
no provision OF organization for fighting
fire. 1t is n sad commentary on our
sagacity as q community that such a
h~eathenish condition ofthings should be
allowed to continue. Out of all the
people who had assembled there ready
TO do their utmost, there were only two
buckets, and n Of these was said to be
a lard pail. Insurance men will surely
take notice of this if it is allowed to 60
on and act accordingly. In view of the
many narrow escapes W. have had, and
the conaagration Of Christmas eve two
years ago, which destroyed a whole
block of business houses, it would seem
as if this should rouse any community.

DIR. Parkhurst Makes Plea for
Fallen Women.

New YORK, Oct. 21.-Dr. Charles A.
Parkhurst today preached a sermon which
was plea for fallen women. The doctor
took for his text Matthew. xxi 81, "Vrrly
l say unto you, that the publicans and the
harlots go into the kingdom before you" +"
DIR. Parkhurst said society has a way of
scaling sins for which no warrant can be
found in the scriptures. "There seems to
be-" said he. lone character of crime that
if one sex practices it it is all right. but if
the other practices il ostracism invariably
follows. MeD can do as they choose on
this score with women for whom they have
no respect, but with woman it is diff
ferent."
He continued: Society says there are
several objectionable sins. They say il
is a crime for a woman to transgress the
seventh commandment, but it is not so for
a man. One of the great troubles when a
woman wished to lead different life is
that she does not receive the help of her
sisters. What hope is there, then, for a
woman to try to do better There are a
great many MagdaIens in New York
probably thousands IF them will go to
heaven. Trey are children of God-just
as gO0d in his sight as yOu-and YOU should
do all you can TO help them. Some of you
gather your skirts about you to escape
from your fallen sisters, while they are
Just as precious to God as you are."

place was found near the road in the

murder was committed, where some one
had lain In wait for long time. This was
probably the man stationed to give the
signal OF Mr.. Copes' arrival This swamp
is very thick on both sides and only about
one mile distant from the river. 1t is
thought the murderers each took to the
river in boat or are now concealed some
where in the swamp This morning Mr..
Copes' satchel was found some distance off
the swamp. The amount Of money miss
ing will hardly exceed S75.
Several hundred men have been out all

leave no stone unturned to assist in the
capture of the villains.
Tomorrow the citizens of Orangeburg

SOLID FOR AMERICA
Father Malone Answers Some
Pointed Questions.
Refutes the Charge That Catholics
Are Dis!oyal to the Civil
Institutions.

DENVER, Oct 21.-Father Malone, editor
of the Colorado Catholic, Ieciured to-day
at the Tabor Grand Opera-houSe a large
audience was In attendance. Before COM
mencing his lecture Father Malone re-
ceiyei the following note from some one
in the audience:
Dare you. as Catholic priest, publicly
in your lecture say that Roman Catholics
do not owe fealty to a foreign potentate 4;
also, dare you say that the Catholic church
Is not opposed to the public schools ?"
IL reply Father Malone said:
Let US see. now. what foundation there
is tor his charge that we are disloyal to
the country. The charge that we are
enemies to the public school system is a
delusion and snare; the charge that we
owe supreme allegience to a foreign DO
tentate is equally false. These charges
serve an unholy purpose, and give to the
fanatic an imaginary justification for vo-
istng the constitution in regard TO por-
ton of the citizens. To those who SO
charge this is NY answer: Not only are
Catholics not enemies of our public
schools. but we hold, notwithstanding
the personal opinions of isola ed indi-
viduals. that the public school system
must aud shall be maintained. Not alone
that but should the day ever come. which
God avert, when the school system of
America would be attacked Catholics will
be the first to the rescue"
To the charge. SO current nowadays, that
we owe allegiance to a foreign power,
this is my answer: In spiritual matters,
and matters of faith and morals, We give
allegiance to our church. but in civil affairs
we neither owe nor do we give allegiance
to anything outside the constitution of the
United States, nor to any one not a duly
elected officer of this Government. Should
condition arise, which is an absurd as
sumption, when the Pope of Rome should
issue an edict in conflict with the con-
stitutIon of the United States, we would
refuse to obey the Pope and we would up
hold the constitution. In the words of
O'Connell. ''We take our religion from
Rome, but our politics from ourselves"
