The faction fights among the New York
democracy are attracting the attention of
the whole country. And the most inter
esting feature of them is Senator Hill in
his great role of peace maker. There isn't
much prospect of getting the factions to-
gether by the time the election occurs
in bringing about harmony before the
delegates to the next national democratic
convention are chosen. Hill would like to
be the choice of the New York delegation
for the nomination for President, and he
may be- 1t would not be at all strange
if his fellow citizens should pay him that
compliment. Nobody seems to think he
has any chance for the nomination.

The failure of Amelie Riyes' genuine
love match" with Mr. Chandler is foil
owed by the report of another similar
failure, the parties being Mr.. and Mrs.
Truxton Beale. Mrs. Beale was Miss
Harriet Blaine, daughter of the late Sec
rotary Blaine. Mr.. Beale was minister
TO Persia under the Harrison admins
tration. The young people met in Wash
ington, and a genuine love match" was
the result. They were married in May,
1894. Mr.. Beale is now abroad and his
wife is in Maine with her mother The
report is that they have separated per-
manently. Incompaubility of temper is
the reason assigned. 1t is a good thing
for all of these loving young couples in
high life that they are not citizens Of
South Carolina.

The question of the establishing of a
creamery is being agitated at Thomas
vile. Why is not the same question agitat-
ed all over South Georgia? The wire grass
region contains as fine pasturage as could
be desired for dairy farms and there is
always a market for good butter and
cheese. And, further, why should it be
necessary for dealers in Georgia cities to
send to Tennessee for live or dressed
poultry? There is money to be made in
the poultry business. When Georgia pro-
duces all of the butter cheese, eggs and
poultry that she uses, she will keep
at home enormous sums of money that
are now sent away merely because she
has grown accustomed to purchasing
those commodities from her neighbors.

QUAKER CITY DUNGEONS.

Cells Which Are Believed To be More than
j il > 500 Years Odd -
An old English dungeon was brought to
hight yesterday by the tearing down OF a
building in the rear of a pickle factory On
Spruce street. below Second.
The building is thought to have been
more than 500 years old. Every brick in
building was once the pride of the little
colony that lived here 1t was originally,

those dungeons, or cells, in which prisoners

ment and not for prisoners serving long
terms. much the same as the ''lockups"
or station houses Of today -
The workmen who are tearing down the
building say that it is the toughest job
they ever undertook. The bricks stick to-
gether as though solid stone, and it is
only after long prying with a bar that
they are separated. The bricks them
selves are as solid as in the days of old,
and will be used again in another building.
The old prison or courthouse was IN the
neighhorhood well-known to be the oldest
in the city. Other big buildings hemmed it
around until it was hidden entirely from
sight from the street. 1t was a three
story structure, about 90 feet by so feet

Aprons for Fancy Work.

Every girl who does much fancy work
should have aprons, not so much to pro-
tect her dress, as to keep the work from
being soied. These aprons. should be
small and have two pockets, one at either
side,. or one long pocket made by turning
up the bottom of the apron and stitching
it. The latter style is most convenient
for catching spools of thread and silk,
which are always rolling off ones lap.
but washab BILE materials are better, for
then you cain be sure that they are free
from dust which might injure delicate en-
briodery. Beware Of trimmings which
might catch a thread either in your work
or in your needle. When you have fin
ished sewing, fold your apron carefully,
wrong side out, and put it in box or
drawer with your work. Much of the
beauty of fancy work consists in it's dain-
tiness, and to insure this the greatest care
is required from first to last.-Brooklyn

So long, says this gentle philosopher, as

sons, and treat oneself to the corrective
influence; and there you have the true
elixir of life. $"
& OF course. this new teacher has found
the hidden antidotes; and in course of
little drawing room lectures she explained
what they were and how to receive them.
Surprising your keenest distress is caused
by bitter jealousy; the study and cultiya-

the face of the coal-where each person
hewed piece as a memento of the visit,
and then returned to the ballroom. Dance

afternoon. No distinction was made,
and ladies joined in the general dance
