The sugar BOUNTY win he Paid.

In the Senate on Tuesday of last week
an amendment was added to the sundry
civil appropriation bill, providing for the
payment of the full amount of the sugar
bOunties earned up to the time the Cor
man tariff law went into effect last August:
also an amendment providing bounty of
eight-tenths Of one per cent on all cane

public school building which cost S15,-
600 was formally opened on Washington's 5
birthday in the town of Orangeburg, 5. c.
One of the ceremonies was ;he raising of
the stars and stripes on a staff on the roof
100 feet above the ground. The flag is to
be raised every morning and is to be kept
flying during school hours. This is the
first instance of the kind which has occur
red in South Carolina and perhaps in the
South since the war. What makes it the
more significant is that at the breaking out
of the war Orangeburg was, next to the
South Carolina capital, the most intensely
"secesh' and northern hating spot in all
the South.

An incident not on the bills occurred
in the Senate chamber Monday just be-
fore the hour of final adjournment. In
accordance with the usual formality Scna-
tors Voorhees, and Sherman had been ap-
pointed a committee to wait on the Presi-
dent and ask him if he had any further
communication to make. Just before l.
o'clock they entered the hall and Mr..
VOORHEES, reported that they had per-
formed their mission, and that the
President congratulated Congress at the
conclusion of its labors." Something in
the Senator's tone or manner suggested
that the words were said "sarkasticn and
the senators and the audience which pack
ed the galleries burst out into laughter and
applause.

One good deed for which the well
abused sd Congress must have the credit
is the passage of Senator Hoar's anti-lot-
terry bill, which is intended to shut ont the
entrance of lottery matter of all kinds into
this country 1t forbids bringing into the
United States any lottery advertisement,
circular, notice of lottery drawing, lottery
ticket, or anything of this kind. The law
is not only stringent, it is inclusive in its
terms, forbidding church fair lotteries, and
gift enterprises of any kind, as soon as ad-
vertisements of them or tickets or chances
in them are made objects of interstate COM
merce. The penalties for dsobedience are
heavy, including fine, or imprisonment, or
both. The law is especially aimed at the
Honduras lottery, which, since it was
driven out of Louisiana, has established a
sort of port of entry at Tampa, Fla, where
its matter is;received and thence distributed
through the express companies, but it will
apply equally to lotteries in Mexico or any
other foreign country.

For the last ten days London has been
IN the grasp of an epidemic of influenza,
"the worst ever known in the history of
the metropolis 1t is not so serious or
fatal in its results as some previous vista
tions, but it has nevertheless caused a
great rise in the death rate. Leading gov
ernment officials have been stricken, and
doctors and nurses seem to be peculiarly
susceptible TO its attacks, so that in some
quarters it has been almopt impossible to
get a physician. The usual duration Of
the attack is about four days. 1t begins
with extreme lassitude, accompanied by
fits of persistent yawning, and followed
by severe pains and high fever. 1t aP-

influenza to which the French gave, many
years ago, the name ''la grippe, neither
the disease nor its name being by any
means of recent origin, as many suppose.

LOCAL LIFE AND COLOR.
A Hornets Nest at Wilmington:
It Was stirred up by the Parson, who
Had the Town Clerk Prosecuted.


Had the Town Clerk Prosecuted.
Wilmington has been in ferment sew
eral days all because of the very peculiar
action of a minister of the gospel. G. II.
Parmelee is proprietor of the village drug
store. lie is the town clerk, treasurer and
collector, justice of the peace, member
of the Congregational church, clerk of the
society and superintendent of the Sunday
school There is no liquor agency in Will
mington, and it appears that Mr.. Parmelee
had furnished liquor in small quantities up
on physicians prescriptions. Rev. A. A.
Smith, pastor of the Baptist church, Sc
cured evidence of a sale by representation
of need. The parsons next move was to
make a demand upon States Attorney
Fits to prosecute Mr. Parmelee Mr..
Fits went 20 Wilmington. but refused to
prosecute until further evidence was pro-
duced. Thereupon the parson showed that
in one instance where liquor had been OBJ
tanned through a physicians order it had
been Improperly used. Mr. Parmelee was
then arraigned before Justice Titus and
fined 50 and costs The feeling in Will
mington Ove- the matter has been at fever
pitch, and some of the young hOt-heads
were in favor of adornng the parson with
coat of tar and feathers; but cooler and
wiser counsels prevailed.
If Mr.. Parmelee violates the spirit of
the law in his sales of liquor his high stand
ing in the community should not save him
from the penalty, but from this distance it
is difficult to see how the parson can JUS
tify himself for the attack upon him. Mr.
Parmeee is said to have always run his
store in manner above reproach, and SYM
pathy for him now is general.

The why's. and wherefores of the town
meeting surprises continue to be discussed.
With all honor to Dr. Webster, and with
confident expectation of good and efficient
service from him as one of the town faith
ers, there are many who think it a mistake
to have turned down Mr.. Boyden after the
business-like administration which he gave
the town last year. The apparent cause
of the opposition to him was his attitude
toward the street railroad, but one who
claims to give an inside view says the fact
that he was opposed to enlarging the town
house on the lines favored by the majority
was what really defeated him. This au-
thority says that $50 to 200 votes went
against Mr.. Boyden on this issue.

The pscatorians will amble into our
neighboring states in less than month in
search of trout and in eight weeks the an
nual onslaught on Vermont brooks will
take place. Not few followers of Isaac
Walton, however, are of the opinion that
trout fishing will be the poorest ever known
in this region. The drouth last summer
dried up completely many trout streams
and in others hundreds of trout died in
stagnant pools, or were caught out with
pals by pot hunters. In one stream was
large pool in which 200 trout collected.
They disappeared within a short time, and
the appearances of the banks indicated
that raccoons had caught and devoured the
whole number.

Will Import Wheat

Hutchinson Kan, July 23.-The
Kansas State Millers' association held
its annual convention here today, and
compiled the Kansas Milless' estimate
OF the wheat harvest. Reports are
not all in from all counties but suffi.
clent returns have been made to indi.
cate for 1895 yield of from six to ten
million bushels Of wheat in the state,
and about 40 per cent of which will
be good to mill. A committee was
appointed with authority to negotiate
with the railways for an emergency
rate on wheat from Minnesota, the
Dakotas, Oregon, Washington and
Utah, sufficient to meet the demands
Of the Kansas mills. 1t is estimated
that to keep the leading merchant
mills of the state going from 100000
bushels upward must be imported, as
it was apparent that seed wheat must
be imported to supply the needs Of
Kansas farmers in certain sections.
A committee was authorized to pro.
ceed at once to arrange for the impor.
tatiOn of Russian hard winter from
the Crimea. All the millerS express
determination to hold their -four
trade if they have to import wheat
throughout the year. They likewise,
to man, declared that the present
state Of affairs was never approached,
much less parallelled in Kansas.

The Declamat0ry Contest.

y ~OhhNoNs
The audience which attended the
declamatory contest of Miss Eva
BurkhOlder's elocution class Tuesday
evening at the auditorium was not so
large as was merited No one who
did attend was in the least disap-
pointed in the excellence of the enter
tainment. 1t was the voice of the
audience that it was the best OF its
kind ever given in this city. Every
number on the program was rendered
almost without the slightest error.
The program opened with a piano
solo by Miss Flora Fultz, which was
most skillfully executed and received
a rOusing recognition from the audi
ence. The first contestant was Miss
Anna Wood in her selection, "The
Gypsy Flower Girl" She showed a
marked degree of culture in elOcution
and commendable naturalness in ex-
preston.
Miss Mary Slade, the second con-
testant spoke that pathetic selection
entitled, "a Drunkar's Wife," in a
manner which brought out allthe feel
ing that the author meant to express
and impressed it upon her hearers.
The beautiful violin solo by Edward
Jones, which came next upon the
program, met with such a storm of
applause that nothing but an encore
would suffice for quiet. Leah, The
FOrSaken Jewess," was the title of
the selection so beautifully and skill
fully rendered by Miss Florence Will
son. Her usual ability. already
known to Wellington people, was
even eXcelled in her recitation last
evening. Miss Blanche Fuss in her
rendition Of the selection, Naughty
Zell," captivated her audience with
her ability and cunning. Miss Lillian
WOrden, who formerly delighted
Wellington audiences with her voice,
sang again last night and received
the same rousing encore which always
greets her singing. Miss Daisy Mac
beth, as a contestant, rendered the
humorous piece entitled, "Daisy's
Faith" Her execution of it was fne
and greatly pleased her hearers. The
male quartette covered themselves
with glory in their rendition of Last
Night" and were enthusiastically en-
cored. "Claudius and Cynthia" that
thrilling story of love almost thwart-
ed by ancient barbarity, was admir-
ably rendered by Miss Marie Yarnall.
Miss Mayme Huffman being unable to
appear in a violin solo, the male
quartette sang "The Sailors Chorus"
and as an encore, "Annie Laurie"
The judges were then summoned to
make their decision.
The judges were Miss Maude Price,
and Messrs. c. c. Curtis and Charles
j. Humphrey. While they were max
ing their decision, Edmond Tinkham
delighted his audience with the
humorous rendition of "How Ruby
Played?" Miss Eva Burkholder also
rendered a short but well executed
and amusing selection. The Judges
announced as the gold medal winner,
Miss Florence Wilson. For second
prize beautiful dress pattern given
by Jacob Engle, the winner was
Miss Blanche Fuss, and the third
prize, "Will Cartoons Ballads" given
by Miss Lizzie Campbell and a fine
silk handkerchief given by the Globe
Clothing House was awarded to Miss
Daisy Macbeth.
