STORIES OF TIE DAY.
The Kindliness Of John Gary Evans, Gov
ernor of South Carolina

ernor Of South Carolina
Festoons of electric light shone down
upon the senators in their chamber, and
the business Of grinding out laws for a
state was slowly proceeding surrounded
by all the circumstances OF luxury. out
side it was one of those nights in which
the witches "chase auld Tam, "wet and
cold and windy, but the South Carolina
senators worked lazily on, and as an &C.
casional one walked across the floor no
sound came from the brussels carpet 1t
was a picture of satisfaction, and the
very faces Of the august great hanging
upon the walls seemed to show pleasure
in it.
One of those human beings who have
the entree to all classes Of society, tel
egraph boy, entered and sank into a
great armchair by the reporters table

The lad, a bent, tired looking little
fellow with scarce an ounce OF blood,
was thoroughly drenched, but in an in
slant nevertheless he was sound asleep.
The reporters scratched On while anon
a languorous Mr.. President" broke the
silence as some solon added a finishing
touch to his own little bill The session
was about over. Tomorrow, home and
the holidays.
A slender young fellow about 20 years
old, his trim figure set off by dark
blue frock coat, Of pale face, with thin
features, passed by the desk where the
reporters mechanically scratched and
scrawled, and his sparkling eyes fell
upon the boy sleeping until the reporter
would pinch him into life again. The
young man stopped for only an instant.
That's for Christmas, - he said, slip
ping a goldpiece into the hand of the
sleeper, and went on his way. The hand
closed, but the eyes did not open until
the reporter called, and then they open
ed wide indeed.

The Human Puzzle.

The human puzzle struck Washington
the other day. His name is Nixbeno, or
Harry Beno, of Port Of Spain, Trinidad,
and he is Ell route to New York, where,
he declares, he has been offered $25, 600
and ticket back to Cuba for letting the
doctors amputate his left arm in the in
terest of science. The human puzzle is
short, stocky looking knight of the road,
and his great specially is self torture
and mutilation. He sticks pins and
needles into any part of him he can
reach, and he is decorated all over with
scars inflicted by obliging individuals
who at his request have experimental
On him.
The puzzle says he has no physical
sensibilities and no blood in his body.
This last is very thoroughly disproved
by a strong, healthy pulse at the wrist,
but the former one might believe from
the fact that he sticks darning needles
through his tongue and hatpins through
both sides Of his jaws, while he invites
any one who is interested and skeptical
to run long bonnet pin through his
biceps or his leg Or any other part OF his
body they choose.
He has hypodermic syringe needle
that he has fixed up for cigarette hold
er, and this he thrusts through his
windpipe and smokes a cigarette with
his mouth shut. He declares that he
does not mind being burned and shows
number Of scars which he says are
from recent electrical experiments.
The puzzle is shy a third finger on his
left hand This, he says, was amputated
in New Orleans just to show that he
would rot bleed, and the proposed am
putation which he says is to take place
at Bellevue hospital in New York will
be the contamination Of a long and in
teresting public career After that the
puzzle says he will walk back to New
Orleans on stills for wager and sail
for Cuba to enjoy in an affueut old age
the fruits Of his youthful travel and
adventure.

Bowery Americanism and bears on his

A STORY EXPLODED.

The story which has been so industrl'
oo>.y circulated by the newspapers that
worship st the golden shrine, to the enect
that the county school commissioners OF
the state had refused to accept silver
with which to pay teachers, has been
exploded.
1.-THE state school commissioner is quot
ed as saying that he proposed to ship to
the counties, by express, sums ranging
from 81 900 to $4,000 IN silver according,
of course, to the credit due them, ana
that the county commissioners had posi-
lively refused the white metal.
Mr.. J. H. Whitchard, the school COM
missioner of Terrell county, when asked
by THE News if he had refused to accept
silver. stated that he had had no COM
mnnication from Mr. Glenn on the suo-
iec+. that he had never refused silver,
and that he and The teachers OF Terrell
county were ready to accept all the sll
yer, or any other kind of money, they
could get. Mr. Whitchard said further
more that the amount due the teachers
is always sent in the shape of warrant
on the state treasury and they are
paid in checks, which are cashed by
local bank.
Those newspapers that are so anxious
to discredit silver as money must come
again. Their last effort was too weak.
JULIUS BROWN, who lost bis position
as attorney for the W. 81 A. lessees about
the time he lost his father, will find some
consolation in knowing that tie people
of Tennessee regard Major Stalhman,
who roasted about the capitol during the
session of the Georgia Legislature, as lot :
byist, just as he does; and Major Stalh-
man is consoled by the fact that he is
making money by lobbying and Julius
isn't.
