EcceNTRlclTIEs OF DICKENS.
His Dread Of Railway Traveling-strange
Mirror Antics.

AhblCbs
In some interesting "Recollections Of
Charles Dickens, in The Young Man,
his eldest daughter tells how, after the
railway accident which befell the novel
ist In 1866, he often suffered from a
feeling Of intense dread whenever he
found himself in any kind Of convey
ance: j
"One occasion, y she says, Especial
ly recall. While we were on our way
from London to our little country sta.
tion Higham, where the carriage was to
meet US, my father suddenly clutched
the arms of the railway carriage seat,
while his face grew ashy pale, and great
drops Of perspiration stood upon his FORE
head, and though he tried to master the
dread it was so strong that he had to
leave the train at the next station. The
accident had left It's impression upon the
memory, and it was destined never to be
effaced."
Miss Dickens, when an invalid, was
frequently carried into her fathers
study and lay quietly on the sofa watch
ing the novelist at work. On these 90
oasions she was sometimes witness of 9
curious proceeding in which the novel
ist indulged:
Suddenly my father would jumI
from his chair and rush to a mirrol
e which hung near, and in which coult
see the reflection Of some extraordinary
facial contortions which he was making
He returned rapidly to his desk, wrot'
furiously for few minutes, and thel
went again to the mirror. The facia
pantomime was resumed, and then, turn
ing toward but evidently not seeing me
! he began talking rapidly in low tone
Ceasing this soon, however, he returned
!, once more to his desk, where he remain
ed silently writing until luncheon
time"
1t was not till long afterward tina
Miss Dickens discovered that, with hi
natural intensity, hei father had throw
) himself into tho character that he wa
7 creating, land that for the time bein
he had not only lost sight Of his sur
! roundings, but had actually become Il
, , action, as in imagination, the personal
ity of his pen.

Yet 1t Was the Most Terrible Figure In
the Lexow Investigation. .,. =,
The scene in tho courtroom at the final
session of the Lexow committee after
adjournment had been announced is
thus described by the New York World:
Presently there was rush Of hand
shakers for the weary arm of Mr.. Goff.
Then ey;crybody moved for the door.
One hyrone gae actors made their exit.
TheT senators were among the first.
Among them it was: "Goodby, Jake"
$50 long, Saxton, old manP "I'll see
you directly, Clarencel" "Take care Of
yourself, Uncle Dan!" And soon all Of
the great figures were gone, except
Byrnes. He pulled his hat over his eyes
and stood about, made few steps, lin
gered, hesitated, glanced around and al
last slipped out among the last to leave
the room.
But there was one figure that remain.

left, after the lights were out. This fig.
ure was, in one sense, only proper
ty," but in another sense it was terri.
BILE personality, one upon which all
men who came into that room have cast
looks of awe and some men looks of ter.
ror. That figure was the witness chair,
with its inclosing arms and its high
back. 1t looked less harmless and was
far more terrible than those iron chairs
Of the medieval torture rooms.
Senator Bradley had made motion.
1t was to the effect that the committee
should ask the city Of New York for the
chair in which the Lexow witnesses sal
and should make present of it to DR..

MIR. Goff announced that he had al

he got it he was going to give it to DR..

TO CLEAN GLOVES AT HOME.

To clean gloves with gasoline first
stretch them either on frame or on
your own hand. Have abundance OF
clean flannel and cotton near by.
With little benzine on small piece
Of flannel go over the entire glove,
finger by finger AS soon as the fan
mel becomes soiled exchange it for
clean. Do not use enough benzine to
saturate the leather, but simply
enough to clesn off the soiled spots.
Rub the gloves from the finger tips,
generally downward and upward, and
not in circular way or across the
leather. After using the gasoline on
a soft spot rub it with clean flannel
until it seems perfectly dry.
Only the very highest quality OF
benzine. or, better still, gasoline can
be used. When the gloves are thor
oughly cleaned rub them with clean
flannel and abundance of talcum pow
der. This powder can be bought at
any first class drug store, and ten
cents worthis ordinarily enough for 9
years supply. Rub the leather thor
oughly in every part with this tslcum
powder. It makes the glove not only
pIiable and pleasant to wear, like a
new glove, but it puts soft bloom on
the leather. Milwaukee Journal.

A Floral Detective of Long Ago.

In early times the Dutch farmers Of
the up-river farms Of New York had
an ingenious way of recovering pock-
et-knives that might have been
dropped or mislaid while plowing OF
gardening was going ON. Cutlery
was not as cheap then and abundant
as in these days; so the farmers took
the thrifty precaution of keeping two
or three sunfower seeds in their
knife handles. Then if the knives fell
upon broken ground and could not be
readily found, the owners would wait
until the seeds sprouted, and an iso::
lated sunfower stalk or blossom in
field or patch would signalize the pos
sibility OF missing articie's being at
its root. True, the owner did not always
realize the result of the scheme, be-
cause e passing boy who understood
the token often ''got there" before the
planter. New York Tribune.

forty feet in circumference, which have
fallen from the cliff. These were hol-

square, and openings cut in the rock

CRYSTALLINE FRUITS.

Few confections are more delicious
than candied fruit, and, too, few
sweetmeats are more expensive, sixty
cents pound being the regulation
price, and a pound represents very
small amount. They can be prepared
at about half the cost, however, at
home, if care is taken.
Cherries, currants, pine-apples,
apricots, pears and peaches are best
experimental upon. The two former
can be used in bunches; the pine
apple is sliced across the fruit, each
piece being good quarter inch thick;
apricots are cut on one side and the
stone slipped out, while pears and
peaches are halved, and, of course,
peeled.
Make very thick syrup, pound for
pound, adding for each pound small
cup of water. Bell the sugar first,
then drop in the fruit, and when they
have boiled clear take out and drain
from the syrup. If the cherries are
stoned (the red oxhearts make the
finest, being not SO sweet as the white
and without the rank .artness OF the
sour red ones), it is nice to string
them on broom splint as they can be
more cleverly handled.
Sprinkle liberally With powdered
sugar, lay on sieve, and set the fruit
in a warm oven. I used wire dish,
such as our grandmothers kept fruit
in, set within another dish to catch
the syrup. In two hours turn the
fruit, sprinkle with sugar again;
Keep this up until the sugar has all
dripped out. On no account have the
oven hot, as it will dry the fruit and
leave it like so much leather. AMI,
of course, the fruit must be laid IN
single rows when drying.
When the Juice has evaporated and
the sugar has formed a glazed surface,
put away in boxes in a dry place.
Waxed paper should be laid between
each layer. A bureau drawer IS as
good a place as any to keep them

Instructive Meeting of Tobacco Grow

The regular monthly meeting of the
DARLINGTON, S. c., Tobacco Growers
Association was held in the court
house, Gen. w. E. James presiding.
The subjects for discussion were prlm-
ing, topping and curing. Able and
instructive addresses were delivered
bv B. F. Williamson, B. F. Smoot
and others, after which the president,
Fl. Z. Harmon, the wide awake editor
and proprietor of the Southern To-
bacco Journal, gave them talk. He
wss very uawell, but made o few re-
marks, which were exceedingly COM
plimentary and encouraging. He
spoke of the fine attendance, and mode
Of discussion. He also said it would
be a short time when this section would
grow in abundance the finest tobacco
in this country, snd that the yield per
acre was much larger than in Virginia
and North Carolins.
The committee appointed to look al
ter the interest of members IN themat'
ters of royalties claimed by certain pa
tentees of barns, sticks, ETC., made its
report behind closed doors. Resolu-
tions of thanks were then voted the
committee for it's good report, and also
to Mr.. Harmon FOR his words of good
cheer.
The president read a few statistics
which were very interesting. The
number Of acres planted last year were
ITO; barns constructed 130. This
wear there is on increase of 5000 acres,
and 24O new barns. These figures
show that tobacco culture has become
a serious business with these people.
A letter was read from Commissioner
E. L. Roach, in which he stated that
they would allow special space For
tobacco exhibits from that county in
Atlanta, and that all othe. exhibits
would be placedin the State collection
and would be plainly marked with the
exhibitors name and postof6ce address.
The subjects at the next meeting are
grading, packing and selling. These
subjects will also be discussed at the
meeting of the Agricultural and Me-
ohanical Association, which will be
held at the fair grounds the first week
in August.

A SECOND TRIAL.
Results In an Acquittal for J. Minis
Sullivan.

Sullivan.
At Anderson, S. c., the jury ID the
case of J. MimsSullivan, charged With
the murder of Herman G.. Gilreath IN
Greenville OF June "A, 1892, after be-
irg out from 2 p. m. Friday till 1910
p. IN. Saturday, returned verdict OF
mot guilty"
This case was first called for trial at
the July, 1892, term for Greenville and
continued on cffidavits of the absence
of material witnesses for the defense.
At the October term of the same year,
ihe defendant moved to quash the
panel of jurors oa the ground that the
Sheriff of the county wasa half brother
of the slain man. Judge James Aid
ricn granted the motion ard rs the
sheriff had just been reelected tor four
years, ordered change of venue to
Anderson. At :he Anderson spllng
term of 1898 the defendant demurred
10 the jurisdiction of the Anderson
court. The demurrer was oTerruled
and notice of appeal was given. Cir
cult Judge Izlar decided TO try the
case. but was enjoined from doing SO
by Justice Pope of the Supreme
Court
It was at this term that the stir
about alleged attempts to brlbe Jurors
occurred.
The Supreme Court sustained the
lower court and remanded the case for
trial. In October, 1893, the case was
tried before Judge Wallace and YER
dict Of guilty was rendered. The de-
fendant was sentenced to be hanged
December 22nd, 1898. Execution W.:
stayed pending an appeal to the ou-
preme Court for Dew trial.
In 1894 the defepdantmoved for and
secured suspension Of his appeal to al
low motion on circuit for new trial
o. the ground Of after discovered evl-
dence. Judge Ernest Gary head tine
motion and refused it.
The Supreme Court sustained the
appeal on the grounds. chiefly, that
tie jndge erred in excluding evidence
showing that the States witness, Fin
Law. had made statements regarding
the shooting different from thcae ne
made on the witness stand, and had
erred in his charge regarding The
taking of life; and ordered new trial
and the evidence was practically the
same as that given on at the former
trial when O verdict of guilty was rem
dered and death sentence passed.
