AFTER BLIND TIGERS.

South CarOlina's D1spensary War Goes
Merr3Iy On.
CHARLESTON, S. G., Sept. 30.-The dis
pensary war has broken out afresh here.
Although the au .hGrities will not give
out the figures. it is no secret that the
dispensaries here have been doing a
losing business for the last three or four
months. They are patronizsed only by
the negro and the lowest whites. who
purchase only the lowest grade o goods,
on which there is very little profit.
Very recently the force of dispensary
constables has been doubled and the Po
lice authorities have made large details
OF policemen to aid them. The two
forces, however, operate each on their
own account and d dozen raids are made
daily. The latest and most unique meth
cd adopted by the state constabnlary was
illustrated last night. Two constables
took seats in a swell restaurant on King
street and watched every customer from
the time he entered the place till he
left. following them even into the
private dining room. These tactics
will be followed up in the hope of
crushing the blind tiger and will be fol-
lowed up shortly by the arrest of a hun
dred or more proprietors of supposed
blind tigers, who will be held for con-
tempt of court in violating the injunc
tions that have been served upon them.
In the meantime, tue whisky constabu-
larry are disregarding the orders of the
federal court forbidding them to seize
liquors sent into the state for private per-
sons and are seizing everythinCi n sight

NEW CASES OF DIPHTHERIA.

Several Reported-As "a Matter of Course
Attempt Made to Conceal Facts.
There is a new case of diphtheria in
the family of Charles Baker, a plumber
who resides on Fourteenth street near
Kansas avenue, in a double house.

child last night and he at once pro-
nounced the sickness diphtheria.
There are four children in the Baker
family, and this morning Mrs. Baker sent
one of the children TO stay with friends

DR.. Peers said: sYes, it is case of gen
uine diphtheria, and it was contracted
from that case at 1925 Kansas avenue"
"Then there was case of diphtheriG

"Yes a child there had the diphtheria
but they did not cali a physician, aud it
was there the Baker child contracted the
disease
This is the case which DR.. Mitchell
says he Investigated Saturday and found
not to be diphtheria.
DR.. Peers said he mad not been able to
find Dr. Mitchell to report the Baker
case offici ally up to noon Today.
A sanitary officer this morning told
Miss Gertrude Wyatt that a boy in the
family of 3ils. Anna M. Walker at 2.1
East Seventh street had the diphtheria
and was very sick. There was no card
on the house at noon today and the peo-

Mr. d. r. Hite, who ia a member OF
the family told Miss Wyatt that the boy
was sick. but that he had some stomach
trouble and that it was no4 diphtheria.
If the sanitary officer in charge of that
district knows there is a case of diph-

enforce quarantine at once and pre-
vent the spread of the disease.

the family of Mr.. C. v Wolf, 316 Eas

BICYCLE BUILT FOR FOUR.
4 whole Family Pass Through Topeka on
CurEous Vehicle.

A. Forbes and three sons of BelIeville,
Kan, are travelling to Kansas City on a
queerly constructed bicycle built for four.
They stopped in Topeka for time this
morning and drew a large throng of
sight-seers.
The machine more nearly resembles
the trucks of passenger coach than
ANYTHING else. The four wheels are the
size of a car wheel, built of wood, with
iron tire There are four seats, two in
front asd two in the rear, with pedals
and gearing like an ordinary bicycle.
The machine weighs about 200 pounds,
and is Mr.. Forbes own Invention. They
make from sixty to seventy miles per
day.

TO RECLAIM the Ard Lands.

Boston, March Chairman Will
liam Ed. snythe, of the national irri-

Hale presided over the meeting and

'The cause of the West is the cause of

that each of these states has passed leg

they be reclaimed and settled. He

ing to resign. one of his ministers, Pat
terson, minister of militia, having since
carried out his threat.
Clark Wallace, the controller of GUS
toms, who holds the position of SOW
ereign grandmaster of the Orange order,
still retains his position in the govern
ment, but it is said that he will have to
resign, as Orange lodges all over the
country are passing resolutions strongly
condemnatory of the governments
action.
There are other dissensions in the cab
met over the step taken towards restor-
ing Roman Catholic schools in Manitoba
and while it is hardly probable that
further designations will follow, the
matter has created some very bad blood
among Sir Mackenzie's ministry that
may show itself when least expected.
The liberal party is in no better posi-
tion than the government, for they will
have to commit themselves one way or
the other when the matter comes up be-
fore parliament next month. The
liberals have always cast their share of
the Roman Catholic vote, while nine
tenths of the Orangemen of the Domin-
ion support the conservative party.
This fact makes the complications that
yet may arise out of the Manitoba school
question even more apparent.

Every Other Political Issue
Lost Sight of.
TOPIC OF ABSORBING INTEREST
Both Great Political Parties WIN Be
Involved, and Possibly Split in
The Quarrel.

NEW YORK, March ga special dis
patch to the World from Ottawa, On
tario, says: Every other political issue
appears to have been lost sight of in the
action the Dominion government has
taken towards re-establishing separate
schools, which were taken away from
Roman Catholics in Manitoba by the
government of that province in 1890.
As to the effect of the step just taken by
the Dominion government upon the two
great political parties in Canada it is
impossible at this stage to give just
opinion. The Roman Catholics of Cam
ada number AZ per cent of the whole
population, and as the grievances of the
Roman Catholics of Manitoba are shared
by the whole Catholic population of the
Dominion, it may be readily seen that
the fight for redress will be bitter one,
with the full force and influence of the
Orange element arrayed against them.
The present premier, Sir Mackenzie
Bowel, is very prominent Orangeman,
but with Sir Charles Tupper as minister
of justice he took the ground that the
highest tribunal in the realm has de-
clared that the vested rights of the
Catholics of Manitoba had been inter-
fered with, and as it Became question
for him either to deny them that right or
to restore to them that which they had
been deprived of, he chose the latter
course, even in opposition to the strong
est Orange and Protestant influence
that could be brought to bear upon him
1t was daring step, step not taken
without several of his cabinet threaten
