Zone Brother Kills Another,

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 12.-Last
night at 10 o'clock about fourteen
miles from the city, on the Winnsboro
road, Jas Price was killed by his
brother, Cal Price, who emptied
double load of buckshot into his body.
Both men are white and are farmers.
They were in Columbia on Saturday
and Jim Price was drinking. Oc the
way home the brothers got into dis
pute and Jim fired every chamber Of
his pistol at Cal without hitting him.
The latter did not retaliate, but with
others present tried to quiet Jim.
The latter, however, began to load his
pistol again and then Cal fred at him,
with his pistol hitting him in the
shoulder. To avoid more trouble Gal
went into Capt. Sligh's s house, near by,
and Jim went on towards home, de-
claring that he would kill his brother
and all his family that night. Cal
Price went home after his brother had
left Capt. Sligh's, and while sitting
with his family in his house he heard
some one stealthily walking around the
house. Taking his gun he went to
the door and was confronted by his
brother, Jim, armed with shotgun
and pistol. Cal was too quick for the
would-be assassin, and fired both bar
rels loaded with buckshot at him,
killing him instantly. The coroner
and sheriff have gone to the scene.
Cal Price will give himself up, so he
wrote the sheriff this morning.-Ne'cs

The Richest School iu America.

The Post recently gave some very
magnificent figures respecting the en-
dowment funds of the Chicago univer-
sity. That youthful giant has about
s1l 100000 on hand and enough more
in sight to bring her aggregate up to
100000 not to mention various
bright hopes and cheering prospects.
She leads all the universities in the
eastern States in the matter Of avail
able resources. But there is one in
stitution of learning in an eastern
State whose wealth is far in excess OF
that of the Chicago college. Girard
College of Philadelphia, is by far the
richest school in the United States.
From an original investment OF s2,-
900, 900 bequeathed by Stephen Girard,
the residuary fund now aggregates in
invested capital $14, 921, ,928. But
this sum falls far short of a fair rep
resentation of the various holdings.
The Philadelphia Times states, as an
illustration, that the real estate in
Schuykill and Columbia counties,
covering in extent over 33, 600 acres OF
coal lands, of which eleven collerles
arc now in operation, employing up
ward of $4,000 men, is assessed at
only s1,718,9 1928, probably not one
tenth of it's value. The Times also
states that the real estate in Phila-
delphia on which rentals are paid from
695 buildings alone, is assessed at So
O89, 100 which is based upon three
fourths valuation. These statements

How q Tree Grows.

If you wish to become thoroughly
acquainted with the trees mode of
growth the first thing Of Importance is
to keep in view the function Of the
"cambian layer"-.the soft, spongy
substance lying between the wood
proper and the bark. The pulpy, po-
rous substance is really a tissue of
minute cells, visible only under the
microscope. and apparently all Of the
same size and shape in any given va
riety of tree. The cells lying nearest
the bark contribute permanent ac-
cretion to the trees covering, while
those which lie nearest the wood slow
ly change from "cambian layer to
real tree fiber. In this way the bark
becomes thicker each year, and at the
same time the tree itself is perma-
nently enlarged.
In the spring and early summer the
bark on all trees is, to certain extent,
loosened to permit of the cambian
layer exercising its functions, and
when this wholly ceases the result is
manifest in the "ring" of~new wood
and the thin layer Of newly formed
inner bark. The ends Of each limb
have also grown perceptibly-from
two inches to two feet, according to
the species-but knots, marks, forks,
etc., ION the tree trunks are no higher
from the ground than they were the
year before. If someone tells you
that limb which is now but three or
four feet from the ground will be
high enough to walk under when the
tree gets it's growth" put him or her
doMn~as person knowing but little
about the natural history Of trees.

derives its supports over $50, 100000.
It will be remembered that the
eccentric Franco-American who
founded this college left some peculiar
directions for it's management. The
benefciaries were to- be the poor white
orphan boys of Philadelphia; they
were to be instructed in matters that
would be of practical use in life, and
no clergyman of any denomination was
ever to be admitted to the grounds,
even as visitor. In less than half a
century, the Times says, the college
had matured body Of alumni of 3,765
young men, not one of whom has as
yet, passed the sixtieth year. And
the directions of Stephen Girard have
been obeyed. No ecclesiastic has
been admitted and no sermons" have
been preached. But "good men"
regularly "talk" to the students-and
it is said that their talks are just like
sermons Washington Post.

They Couldn't Understand 1t.

Maj. Pollock, who was superinten-
dent Ut free delivery in the postofice
department under the last administra-
tion, was for some time stationed on
the frontier as an Idian agent, and was
we'll and favorably known to many Of
the principal chiefs among the red
men. Whenever they sent delegates
to Washington to have a pow-wow
with the Great Father, the major
Office was sure to be visited by them,
and they came sometimes in crowds.
On one occasion, while the Indians
were making call on the major, he
went to the telephone, in another
room, and called up the Indian Office.
When his call was answered he said !:
Tell Frank to come to the phone. !"
Frank was half f-bred employed in the
Indian Office.
"Hello Frank p said the major.
"Hold the phone a minute. Your
uncle is here and wants to talk to you. ="
Then he went into his Office and led
one of the chiefs to the telephone.
"Want to talk to Frank p said the
major, placing the transmitter in the
chief hand.
After many grunts and suspicious
glances at the mysterious contrivance,
the little ear trumpet was finally held
to the chiefs ear, and the major said :
"Now go ahead, Frank"
A grin spread over the Indian
face, and he dropped the transmitter:
After trying in vain to look behind
1.-THE instrument, he stuck his head out
of the window and looked around.
Then with bewildered look he ran to
the door and looked up and down the
corridor.
The major explained to him that
Frank was uptown in another build
ing, but the chief wasn't convinced,
and called another Indian. While
the second was listening the first chief
watched the majors lips closely, evi.
dently suspecting some trick Of ven
triloquism
"Ugh " Egrunted the second chief,
as he dropped the transmitter and
looked under a desk and out Of win
dow.
The major couldn't satisfactorily
explain the matter to the chiefs, and
finally was forcs to put on his hat
and take them over to the Indian
office, where theygound Frank at the
phone, waiting for more "talk."

Why they DG't Go.

And the less we pay, the better music

"'And the pews are not comfort

is day Of rest, and We go to church
for repose. The less we do through
the week the more rest we clamor for
on the Sabbath.
"'The church is so far away it is
too far to walk, and I detest riding in
a street car, and they re always crowd
ed on the Sabbath. That is, indeed,
distressing. Sometimes when / think
how much farther away heaven is than
the church, and that there are no con-
veyances on the road Of any description,
I wonder how some Of us are going to
get there"

ways. All these things are, indeed
to be regretted. I would regret them
more sincerely, my boy, did I not know
that you will often squeeze into a
stuffed street car, with hundred other
men, breathing an incense of whiskey,
beer and tobacco, hang on strap by
your eyelids for two miles, and then
pay fifty cents for the privilege Of sit
ting on rough plank in the broiling
sun for two hours longer, while in the
intervals Of the game scratch band
will blow discordant thunder out of a
dozen misft horns right into your ears,
and come home to talk the rest Of the
family into state Of aural paralysis
about the 'dandiest game you ever saw
played on that ground. F."

one man in hundred who could 60

branches Of the party go their ways that
the New York crowd propose to step TO

These are the hopes and plans of the

Scornfully Indifferent is the position of
the free silver men toward the Whitney
wing. They deny In toto the assumptions
of the eastern men, and Iepudiate their
claims of being the only true democracy.
They are confident that their own or

Slowly Taking Their Seats.
The delegates took their seats in the hall
slowly. There were late sessions in every
delegation last night, and many Of them
were continued this morning.
The delegates wear an air of seriousness
as they come in. Everybody seems to un-
derstand that there are weighty matters
afoot, and are preparing themselves for the
struggle.
The first shout of the morning goes up
when the Iowa delegation enters, headed
by a big banner of their candidate Horace
Boies. 1t is but feeble shout however.
1t is confined to the CALLER les. and does not
find response amcng the rank and file
of the delegates. 1t is generally conceded
that the Iowa delegation gave their can
didates prospects a heavy blow yesterday
when they divided on the question of the
temporary Craftsmanship. A portion of that
delegation voted against Senator Daniel
| the silver candidate, for the place.

New York delegation is in conference that
