Run Down and Killed.

PHILADELPHIA, April 8.-A peculiar
ly horrible nccident occurred this
evening in Girard avenue near Fif-
teenth street. While Mrs. Edward f.
Morse, 80 years of age, wife of the
president of the Morse Elevator COM
pany, was riding a bicycle towards her
home at 1,6O1 Girard avenue she was
run down and killed bya runaway
animal approaching her, on account
wagon. Mrs. Morse did not see the
runaway animal approaching her on
account of street car which intercept
ed her view. She turned in towards
the curb, and as she did so the run
away horse was upon her. The shaft
of the wagon struck her squarely in
the breast and entered her body fully
six inches. Mrs. Morse was hurried
ly picked up and taken to the hospital,
but she died upon reaching there:
While the crowd was still collected
around the scene, Mr.. Morse, who was
on his way home to lunch, attracted
by the commotion inquired of a police
man the cause of the people gathering.
The policeman recognized Mr.. Morse
and gave an evasive answer to his
question. Something seemed to warn
Mr.. Morse of the trouble that came
upon him. When he was told that a
lady had been run down and hurt by a
horse, he asked to see the machine
that she was riding. When the bicy.
Gle was shown him Mr.. Morse recog-
nized it as that of his wife and in a
frenzy of anxiety he hurried to the
hospital only to find her dead body.

Blown to Atoms.

VANCOUVER, B. c., April 9.-The
steamer Express of Japan, which has
lust arrived from the Orient, brings
news of terrific explosion in which
a large number of Chinese soldiers
were killed at Kiaug Gin. Two regi-
ments revolted and at signal from
their leader, they seized the guns OF
the forts and poceeded to kill OFT all
officers and new regiment Of SOL
diers recently arrived. ln the midst
of the massacre magazine exploded,
and all hands were blown to pieces.
Two battalions must have been wiped
out of existence, as not soldier lived
to tell if the magazine went OF by &C.
cident or designedly. All within hum
dred yards of the magazine were
killed BY flying shells. The story of
the mutiny is told by those who
watched it from distance. Besides
an immense quantity of shells, Ii, 600
pounds of powder was stored IN the
powder room. One company fighting
near, in the building, literally disap-
peared from the face of the earth, not
a trace of any of them being found.
Captain Kao, who was sent IN com
mand of, the battalions, found them
shockingly demoralized and all sorts
of crimes were being practiced in the
garrison town. His attempt at honest
reform cost him his life. Several cele.
brated off ,ers of the late war were
killed.

CLEVELAND, O., April "a special
to the Leader from Akron, o., says:
1.-THE Tallmadge murderer has been

Vetoed by the Governor.

COLUMBIA, April 10.-The governor
has vetoed three acts passed by the
last legislature. The first, and one
which caused much talk before it got
through the house, is entitled: ITO
provide for the appointment of magis-
trates and to define their jurisdiction,
powers and duties" The governor
objected to this act for two special rea-
sons, the first being that it gave him
no power to remove a magistrate, no
matter of what act he was guilty.
Complaints were received very soon
after by him from people in regard to
magistrates and if this act was passed
he would have no way of getting an
incapable man out of the office. 1t
will be remembered that the house re-
iected this part of the law. but it was
afterwards put in by the conference
committee and so got through. The
second objection to the act was that
after the senate had rejected magls-
trate he could be reappointed.
The second act was: ITO declare
the duties of county treasurers as to
publishing their reports and to pro-
hibit payment therefor" The objec-
ton to this was that it was only by
publishing the county treasurer STA
ports that the people could learn of the
finances of their county and they
ought not to be kept in the dark.
The third is: ITO dispose Of certain
books in the State library" The books
in question are the first statutes at
large of South Carolina. The object
was to furnish copies of these books
free of charge to any member who
might want one, only reservlng 800
copies for the State library The
book was edited by Thomas Cooper
about the year 1892 and is one of his
torical value.-State.

their assembling, will 60 a far way TO-
ward preventing the recurrence of the
scenes that have disgraced certain por-
tions of the State and will prove a
wholesome lesson which will generally
be needed throughout the State.
The recognition of belligerent rights
to the Cubans, engaged in a war for
independence from Spain. would be
but tardy act of justice, founded up
on general humane principles, and in
keeping with the lessons taught by the
United States, the foremost OF Ameri-
can governments, especially since the
advent of the inhuman Weyler upon
the scene. We endorse the wise act of
Congress to take decisive action IN the
premises, an act which will thus force
peace by shortening the struggle and
minimizing the destruction OF life and
property.
We join the progressive spirit OF the
nation which prompted Congress to re-
move the disabilities of ex- Confederate
soldiers, thus fogetting the war ana
bringing in closer touch the whole OF
the American people to the end OF pro-
noting more general unsel6h and gen.
uine patriotism, North and South, East
and West, for our grand and glorious
country, proving the grand old party
a national and not sectional party,
that oven ex-Confederate soldiers csn
Join in defiance of the taunts and
sneers of those who have outlived their
usefulness, but not their prejudice.
Upon this platform we are willing to
be Judged, willing to stand or fall,
and we call upon all patriotic South
Carolinians, without regard to past al
filiations, to join us in our efforts to
promote these ends by the election OF
Republican Congressman and a Re-
publican President and Vice President
of the United States in November next
We assure all OF hearty welcome IN
our ranks and ample rewards for their
faithful services by sharing with them
The results of our achievements, and
proper recognition by elevation as their
worth and character may demand, 10
honor and place.

CANNOT SEE Your EYES MOVE.

CANNOT SEE Your EYES MovE.-A
very curious fact, say London Answer,
is the impossibility of moving your
eve while examining the reflection OF
that organ in the mirror. 1t is really
the most movable part of the face, yet
if YOU hold your head fixed and try to
move your eye while watching it, you
cannot do it-even the one-thousandth
part of an inch. Of course, if you
look at the reflection of the nose, or
any part of your face, your eye must
move to see it. But the strange thing
is that the moment you endeavor to
perceive the motion, the eye is fixed.
This is one of the reasons why a per-
sons expression, as seen by himself in
the glass, is quite different from what
it is when seen by others.

TOE THE MARK.
County DIspensarIes Amenable to the
State Board Only.

5tdto Iounro ohAys
COLUMBIA, April 9.-The circular
letter sent out by the State board of
control to the county dispensers will
prove interesting to those who keep
track of the whiskey business in this
State. 1t is as follows:
1.-The dispensary law under which
you have hitherto worked became q
nullity on the 31st of March, and you
are now operating under a new law
enacted by the recent legislature, and
under that act you are amenable sole
ly to the State board of control. The
board is composed of five members.
who are charged with q general man
agement of the dispensary business,
and from whom you will hereafter re-
ceive all orders and instructions. You
must send to the State board of con-
troll (and not to the commissioner or
State treasurer) the following: All
orders for liquors, beers and wines;
all invoices Of empty bottles shipped
by you, with bill of lading attached !;
all claims for shortage on invoices and
all invoices needing correction. Your
weekly statement of sales and cash
account and duplicate remittance to
State treasurer, your monthly reports
on forms ga" and "B" and your quar-
terly reports must also be sent to the
State board of control. You must re-
NIT on Monday of each week to the
State treasurer. To no one else must
you send any reports, savethe original
weekly remittance blank to the State
treasurer. When your orders for
shipments are received by the State
board of control, they will be turned
over to the commissioner, whose duty
it will be to ship them and send you
invoice for same. But if any correc-
tions are to be made or shortages on
any invoice claimed you must report
the same to the State board of control,
and not to the commissioner.
Ship no more empty cases and also
refrain from shipping empty bottles
until further orders from the board.
You must not speculate on your bottle
purchases, as the rule allowing you to
purchase is for the benefit of the par
ties selling, and not for your profit.
This rule will be strictly enforced.
'The State board of control are un.
alterable in their determination to rig
idly enforce the dispensary law, and
they expect you to live up to every
feature contemplated in the act. Their
administration of the law will be done
fearlessly and without favor, and, we
hope, always tempered with justice.
The trust reposed in you is q most i'm
portant one, and you are charged with
the sacred task of preserving the mo-
rality of that class of your community
that is addicted to an Incorporate use
of intoxicants by rigidly enforcing the
provisions of law which clearly con.
templates a betterment of the morals
of the people by minimizing the use OF
intoxicants by all, and absolutely plac'
ing them, so far as is in your power,
beyond the reach of inebriates and
minors.
"You must not allow any loafing or
drinking on your premises, and your
hearty cooperation in our efforts to
faithfully carry out the true spirit and
intention of the dispensary law will
receive our appreciation. State.

scream at spider, or tremble and grow pallid and hysterical at the ap- proach of thunderstorm, it is not on our nerves that the fault must be laid.
 Any woman who chooses to take the trouble can be serene and quiet nered, can bear suffering with forti- tude and meet disaster with heroism. The higher one goes in the social scale, the more one finds of calm and gentle bearing, whatever befalls the actor in lfes drama. Social training stands one in stead when 1t is an affair of setting the teeth and keeping still, or of filling the air with outcries and clamOr.
 One chronic COmplainer with nerves forever on edge can effectually destroy the tranquility of the domestic circle. Peace and comfort fly before the face of the woman who is always at the mercy of nerves" That face, too, early loses it's freshness and its bloom Wrinkles cover it with a network of crossing and interCrOssing lines; small puckers weave themselves about the mouth; crow's-feet multiply around the eyes. No greater doe menaces beauty than a belief that one must be the victim, not the commander of her nerves.

W. D. nowens Writes About the Sum,
(From Harper's Weokly.,

(FrOm Harper'S WecSly,)
 On her old ground the summer girl no longer exists to the old effect, She may stu have a good time, but I do not see how if having a good time comes from 0 triumphant association with the summer-man, It seems to me that her relations with him are such as might well mortify not only her vanity, but her just pride, I am sorry to say that if he is still pursuing her, the race has gone on so long in a circle that she has the effect of pursuing him. Her loneliness, in the hotels where she aboundS, her forlOmness, is in the last degree dlsphiting to the feeling wit ness, and l do not think that it Is cheering to see her grateful joy at some little attention from @ pert boy, or some airy dotard. I am afraid that the summer-girl as she appears in the summer numbers of the humorous pa pers is not joke in the way she is meant. If she was not always a myth she is in a fair way to become so. Per haps that is all she is fit for, and the more mythical she becomes the better, Perhaps there had better not be any butterflies; but all the same 8 butter fly in the process of extinction is pa thetic, though you do not respect it or approve of it.
 l suppose it was never a question of respecting or approving of the sum- mer- girl. The artists, who have main ly created her. have sometimes made her very chic, very pretty, very fetch ing; but there has always been taint of vulgarity in her charm, and the peO- pie who have joked the artists designs that is, invented some bit of dialogue to go with them-have instinctively felt this. As soon as they open the poor things lips for her. you hear how shallow and false and common she is. She has only wit enough to make some cruel speech, only sensibility enough to feel some disappointment that affects herself.
 The conception of the summer-girl is essentially a cheap one. and so far as it has eventuated in fact, it has been cheap. Undoubtedly the talk about her has tended to create type, and the type is not one that we need care to have perpetuated. Her excess has been an abuse of the freedom which American girlhood has not often abused, but which such as the sum mer- girl has helped to doom. She is going; it is pity that good and beautiful thing seems to be going with her
 She was purely American, to be sure, but I am not patriot enough to regret herevanescence on that account. There are a number of American traits that we could spare from American civilza- tion, and be the more civilized without them. Was the summer-girl, after all, anything but the frontier come east ward, anything at the best but pret- | ty barbarian?

Summer Costumes.
,From Harper's BazarJ


 Every week brings some change in style, some new models for skirts or waists, or some dainty trimming that has not as yet been seen, until it seems impossible to believe that Dame Fash ion can evolve any more ideas. The newer gowns show a decided modified month, and there is a. tendency to- wards light and airy effects, with most delicate shades of coloring, while skirts and waists have quite distinct points of difference. It is difficult to say just what the outcome of all these changes is to be- There is no question but sleeves are smaller and skirts narrower in the very newest costumes, but in thin materials particularly there seems no limit to the width of skirts and no perceptible shrinkage in the size of sleeves, that it, about the shoulder or the upper arm. From just above the elbow to the wrist they fit snugly, and there is a wrinkled shirred look much like that given by the long evening gloves. The puff effect on the upper arm serves to give the desired breadth across the shoulders, which accentu- ates a small waist and makes large one have some slight curve, Evening waists have most absurd little frills for sleeves. made of double bOXpleats of tulle or thin silk.
 Skirts are almost inVarlably trimmed. Sometimes the gOres are de- fined by insertions of lace. straps of | braid. or cut-wOrk embroidery, or the 1 front breadth is embroidered so that it looks like.a panel; but at the bottom Of l skirts is where new fashions are par I ticularly noticeable; small overlapping ruff1es are headed with a ruche, or bias ruffie is put on in festoOns, or per haps with a band of ribbon. At all events. there is something to break the 1 straight line down from the waist. 1 The festoOned fOunces have knots or ribbon with wee little buckles put on at regular intervals, or, as in the case of i q gown just finished, with the feStOOn annarently ending ill the middle of the | front breadth and fastened With a large rosette and rhinestone buckle. Wash dresses almost invariably have bit of ribbon trimming just above the 1 +iny rufle. A dark blue India silk that
 is f1owered all over with green and mink has around the bottom of the | al,irt three bands, the lowest of dark l blue velVeteen and the upper two or green and pink; just the narrow edge | of these ribbons shows, and makes an l extremely pretty finish.
