Wonderful Negro Girl Preacher.

A wonderful negro girl preacher has been developed at Society Hill, near Columbia, s. c. For week tho child has conducted a series of revival meetings, and the effect of her preaching is wonderful. She is without education, and came to know hor strange powers not more than ten days ago.
 At first she preached only to the negroes, but now white people are focking to hear her and the whole country is in a state of excitement. She quotes Scripture by the chapter, uses good language and shows amazing insight into the frailties of hu manity. A number of conversions arc re- ported from her work.-Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette.

TALES OF THE TIMEs.
An Ex Cow Puncher's Ride Wheel
 Behind . E-oneho.

Beni10 a 1lEcuSnos
 For some time past tho in1ttor of pace making has been engaging tho attention of whcclmen in all parts of the country, and although tandcIas and quads have been introduced, it has remained an open question whether or not locomotive would be brought into acquisition in the wild effort to smash the records. But the problem seems at last to be in fair way of solution and m OK COW pUnoher of this city is posing as ono of the benefactOrs of tho age.
 A few evenings since ono of his bronchos broke loose and after running around town for an hour or two mado for Fort Russell, with his owner in hot pursuit. After a good deal of hazing the horse was cap tured, when the e:i COW puncher started to lead hir back to town behind wheel. Passing through tho parade grounds nt tho fort, the animal became ighte-.sd at scy- oral dogs which belong at that place, and, taking the pcce, started down the road at trelAcncous fatc, tho rider holding on to the rope with ono hand and guiding the wheel with tho other.
 Every moment the speed increased, and being no longer able to hold tho pedals he placed his feet on tho coasters and held on
 
 ran close to tho wiro fence, the wheelman managing to keep on the outside, where he could take the bends in tho road without danger. The army people, noticing tho trouble had gathered ill crowds and were watching the race with broathless silence from tho barrack roofs and other elevated positions For milo down the road noth ing could be seon but u cloud of dust, with an occasional glimpse of n hatlcss rider and a badly scared broncho, as they "burncd" tho ground beneath them. Leaning forward in tho saddle, with firm hold on the handle bars, his every look bespoke tho jockey The pace was terrific. Minutes seemed like hours, and the excitement grew moro intense at every stride. Erswcll, the "God of Wind, ;" was not in it.
 "Stop that hoss! Stop that hossp shouted tho boy as ho swept by teams and travellers who had turned out to lot him pass.
 But no one came to his rescue and tho mad race continued until Camp Carlin was reached, whcro the spirited animal seemed in doubt which road to take, and, stacking up trilc, tie wheclman went by like an arrow. But it was only for a second, for on reaching the end of the string the wheel shot from under and de- posted the rider heavily on the ground, where, after regaining his feet, he soon managed to stop tho runaway.
 In speaking of the affair afterward tho OK COW punchcr expressed himself as satis- fled that the present. system of pace mak- ing would soon be revolutionized, but as far as he was concerned he would hereafter confine himself to horseback riding and leading bicycles with a rope, as he did not consider the now fanglcd machines safe unless ridden with bit and spur.

The RnlI Nozzle.

According to Chief Bonner of the New York fire department, the ball nozzle which excites so much interest throughout the country is destined to work radical and highly beneficial change in tho system of fighting fire. Instead of working at q dis tance with straight streams, fremcn, by using the ball nozzle, can enter burning buildings and work at close range, thus not only doing more effective work, but averting to considerable extent tho seri- ous damage to interior property, and in many cases this system will enable flremen to save the lives of inmates of burning buildings. Tho man who has given the world an appliance of such value is cer- tainly entitled to the gratitude of his fel- low men. New York Tribune

Miss Anthony on Bloomers.

When asked her ideas with regard to boomers, Miss Anthony said:
 "When the new woman undertakes her new work, she will certainly adapt her dress to the occasion. If she is to work around machinery, she will not wear long, flowing robes, but will dress suitably to her calling. I am decidedly in favor of bicycle riding for young ladies, and think that they will soon rid themselves of the troublesome skirt and adopt costume better fitted to tho wheel. "-Rochcstor Hnr,l1

HE WAITED FOR ARREST.
Took Louis Williams Is III urs to Get
Locked Up i'm Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Driven desperate
by hunger and lack of sleep. Louis
Williams resorted to crime in order to
find shelter and food in a police sta
ton. And then he only succeeded in
his purpose after he had walked to
the Harrison street station, told the
story of his offenses and had his tale
investigated by the police. 1t took him
fifteen hours to get locked up.
Williams comes from Brooklyn,
where, until few months ago, he held
a clerkship in a drygoods store. Com
ing to Chicago he got a precarious ex-
istence until this week, when ne be-
came desperate, and in order to be
locked up broke a plate glass window
in Tillenburg's saloon, gathering in
two bottles of whiskey which he traded
for two sandwiches in a neighboring
restaurant.
Knowing it was only a temporary
relief, Williams determined to continue
his efforts to be arrested and again
took up his station in front of the sa-
loon from which he had stolen the
whiskey. He waited until daylight,
but not policeman appeared to lock
him up
Yesterday he walked to the Harrison
street station, and detailed his story,
and finally accomplished his object,
being locked up on charges preferred
by the saloon keeper.

INDIAN AGENTS. AFFAIRS.

Probable That Steps Will BE Taken
To Rcahjust Th ir Salaries.
Washington, Jan. 9-There has been
no conference between the Indian
agents and the secretary of the inte-
rior. Secretary Smith will arrange a
day for them to visit the president and
have a discussion in regard to Indian
affairs.
While the agents have made no Off
cial request. 1t is probable that steps
Will be taken to readjust their salaries.
1t is understood that the secretary of
the interior is in favor of an increase
IN their pay and may make such a
recommendation to congress.
There are now about 81 Indian agents
throughout the country and about one
half of them are army officers who of
recent years have been selected to act
as agents instead of civilians as here
tofore. The officers, of course, will re-
ceive their regular army pay. Tho
civilian agents now receive from 81. 200
to $1,SOO and the increase will likely
be to $4,000 as maximum and 1,SOO
as the lowest figure.
During the past year more army Off
GERS have been appointed agents than
previously. 1t seems to be the policy
OF the department to place them in
charge when the opportunity affords.

THE TURKISH Side OF 1T
Official Reports Deny the
Armenian Outrages.
Not True That the Governor OF Bitlis
Recruited Soldiers Among the
Kurds - The Porte Asked to Sus-
pend Him by England, France
and RuSSia

Washington, Jan. 9.-The Turkish
legation has received this official COM
n.unication from Constantinople:
1T is indeed strange to observe the
unwillingness on the part of some
newspapers to wait and see what the
Sassoun troubles really were and who
was actually responsible for them
The sublime porte has taken all the
precautionary measures necessitated
by the case, and there cannot possibly
remain any reasonable doubt, If not
perhaps, in the minds of revolutionisiS
and their friends, that the appointed
commission to investigate this affair
will bring about facts as they are in
reality. The assertions already made
by people connected with revolt in Tur-
key, all so numerous and so shockingly
erroneous that it is truly impossible
to answer them all. 1t is not true that
the governor of Bitlis recruited SOL
diers amongst the Kurds. 1t is not true
that women and children wsro massa-
cred. On the contrary, they were pro-
tected by the soldiery, as ~ was the
case, for instance, with the women
near KukuZat. All cattle was also
reStituted to their owners in conform
ity with strict orders from the Bitlis
authorities. The assertion made that
twenty-four villages were burned is
simply preposterous, as no twenty four
villages are to be found round about
the place where the revolt first broke
out. In that region there are no more
than ten villages. some of which were
set on fire by the revolutionists them
selves who acted exactly according to
Rev. Cyrus Hamlin's prophetic state
ment of the 23d of December, 1898:
The Armenian OHeutchagrisD bands,
organized all over the empire, will
watch their opportunities to kill Kurds
and Turks set fire to their villages and
then make their escape into the noun
tains. 1t 10 not true either that gar
ments of priests and objects belonging
to churches were publicly sold at
Moush.
London, Jan. 9-The Standards
correspondent in Constantinople says:
THE sultan has formally applied to
Great Britain to disavow Mr.. Glad
stones recent speech with reference
to Armenia.
England, France and Russia have
asked the porte to suspend the gov
ernor OF BltliS until the investigation
has been concluded. The porte has not
replied. 1t is believed that the porte
Will endeavor to maintain the governor
in his post"
The Standards Vienna correspond
ent says he has learned from an un-
impeachable source that the services
OF the patriarch Azarian have been
enlisted to secure a verdict of not
proven in the Sassoun inquiry, to
which all Of the porte's energies are d.
rected. Azarian has undertaken to in
struct the vicar Of Moush to enjoin his
flock to testify before the commission
favorably to the Turkish officials.
"Such conduct by Armenian Catholics
will appear strange Ito Englishmen,"
the correspondent says, but anybody
who has resided in the east is we'll
aware of the gulf dividing the branch
es of the Armenian family"

horsewhipped by Cora Hasbrook and
who choked his assailant until she de-

by going to the postoffice carrying n
Winchester rifle and two revolvers
and belt filled with cartridges. No
body E1olested him, and later his paper
came out with the following announce
ment referring to persons who would
harm him:
ITO all such persons we will say that
we long ago learned to have no fear
of leaden messages; in fact, good
part of our life has been spent among

blowed about it afterward."
To the woman he said:
"Horsewhips hold no fear for us, and
right here, old girl, let us rise to re-
mark that if any of your sneaking,
low-lived gang wish to try that kind
of medicine on us again we warn you
that all it will cost them will be their
