SOME CURIOUS PRIVILEGES.
Prsrogativss That BE ,oug to Noted Fam

i'c> III the va world.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Among the most highly priced of the
inheritances of some of the old families
or Europe are certain prerogatives to
which their owners attach even higher
value than they do to their ancestral
estates. This is because these preroga-
tives are destined to commemorate
some act of loyalty to the sovereign or
estate service. Lord Kinsdale, the pre-
mier baron of Ireland, who has Just
died at an advanced age, was not rich,
but would have parted with his last
penny rather than give up his right to
stand before his sovereign with his hat
on. This appears trivial, but in me-
diaeval days, when etiquette was of
more consequence, this signified that
the sovereign considered the person so
privileged his brother and equal.
Another privilege enjoyed by a Brit
ish peer is that of Lord Inchiquin, the
only non-royal person in the united
Kingdom who can use the royal liver
les for his servants. This right was
granted to his ancestors by Henry VIII.

First Cotton In America.

The first planting of cottonseed in
the colonies was in the Carolinas in the
year 1921. when seeds were planted as
an experiment in a garden. Winthrop
says that in 1854 men fell TO the manu-
facture of cotton, whereof we have
great stores from Barbados" In 1886
IL was cultivated in the gardens along
chesapeake bay. especially in the vicin-
tty OF Baltimore. and at the opening OF
the revolution it was a garden plant in
New Jersey and New York. but its
real value seems to have been almost
unknown to the planters up TO about
10 years ago.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Robert Chambers wife was given
railroad tickets for herself and hus-
band to Roanoke, Va, by the depart
ment of charities. They came to Pitts
burg several years ago and in a short
while consumption disabled Chandler
His wife then took up the burden of
supporting him and herself. AS Chand-
Ter grew worse he wanted TO go back
TO his southern home to die. His wife
toiled every day, but her earnings were
hardly enough to keep herself and her
husband. She tried for two or three
years TO save enough money to take
him back. but the demands of different
periods Of misfortune took her little
savings more than once She was at
last discouraged. Each day she saw
her husband growing worse. They were
living on Harmar street, and the idea
OF going to Roanoke to die was on
Chambers mind continually. His wife
thought she could prolong his life by
taking him back there. She told her
story to Examiner George Booth and
he provided her with the railroad tick
cts. after he found her to be a worthy
woman.
A carriage was sent to take Chand-
Ter from his home to the Baltimore &,
Ohio depot. He was as happy as a
child when he was helped into IL. The
prospect of seeing his old home again
wrought such a change i'm him that
his wife and friends thought he would
gain I'm strength in the warmer climate
OF the South. He bade his friends
goodbye and told them that he felt as
II he was good for a couple of years
yet anyhow. When the carriage drove
away he leaned out of the window,
waved his neighbors a last adieu and
then settled back in the cushions.
At the depot the driver jumped down
from his seat. opened the carriage
door and said cheerfully: Here we
are, old man" Chandler made no re-
ply. He was sitting upright as IL
asleep. The driver spoke to him again,
but he did not stir. Then the driver
caught him by the shoulder and shook
him gently to arouse him. When he re-
leased his hold Chambers head and
body dropped forward. and n corpse fell
into the drivers arms. His happiness
at having the means to fulfill his last
wish was too much for his exhausted
vitality. Disease had nearly ended his

CURIOUS SPORT IN CUBA.

crueI Amusemcots With Ducks, Chickens
and Bulls as the Victims.
Cubans Of the lower and middle
classes indulge their sporting blood in
oastimes which would not be tolerated
in a country having a Society For the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
On fete days il the smaller towns and
villages which can't support a bull
Geht favorite sport is to hang a sleek
fat duck by the feet by wire or rope
stretched between two trees or posts on
the village plaza. The head of the duck
bangs just out Of reach Of a man on
horseback, and the sport consists in
riding under the poor duchat full speed,
grabbing it by the neck and pulling
its head off. A ducks neck will stretch
great deal, and it requires firm hold
and determined jerk to yank of the
prize.
The duck frequently resistS the efforts
Of half a dozen riders before parting
with its head. The horsemen sometimes
miss the duck entirely, lose their bal
ance and roll out of the saddle into the
dust. This furnishes fun for everybody
except the duck.
The game may also be played on the
water, in which case the line on which
the duck hangs is stretched between the
masts of two anchored boats, and row.
boats are substituted for horses.
In another country game chicken is
buried aliro ic the ground to the neck,
its head alone being visible. The men
who enter the game are blindfolded and
armed with nlachete, long knife
used in cntting cane. They are walked
around in confusing circles for few
minutes and then released for an attack
on the chickens head. The one who
cuts off the head clean in the fewest
number of strokes wins the prize.
In default Of bull fight the Cubans
indulge in bulfbaiting game on which
money is wagered. a bun IS released in
an inclosure which is too small to give
him much play and from which he can
not escape. Any one who wishes may
enter dog to fight the bull. The dog
which succeeds in securing a neck or
nose hold on the bull and brings him to
the ground wins the game. From half a
dozen to 10 dogs are often entered
against one bull and their owners bet
large sums on their candidates. AL
though all the dogs worry and fight the
bull, and consequently all are respon-
sible for his ultimate overthrow, yet
only the dog which actually brings him
to earth is the winner. Louis Post

Manning was visited by a storm
Yesterday which at times became
alarming and the Oldest inhabitant
says that he does not remember see
ing such a thing in this town before.
The wind started about half past
two O'Clock, and did not lull until
about four. Trees and fences were
thro- down and snapped off like
pipe-stems, and the tin roofing on
several houses was taken off and car
ried away from the buildings. The
streets of this town is fairly covered
with broken trees and limbs. and
wherever the eye is cast can be seen
the destruction of yesterdays storm.
The prize house of the Clarendon
Tobacco Warehouse & Supply Co.
was overturn cad crushed like an
egg suell. The oof of the post office
building was made naked by the loss
of it's tin. J. W. McLeod's store had
it's tin blown of the roof and several
large panes Of glass blown out of the
front. The dan age done TO Mr.. w
Scott Harvin was very heavy. He
had about 200, 1000 feet of lumber go
ing thror yh a drying process and
this became damaged by the rain.
The smoke stack to his engine and
several of his sheds were blown down.
Alfred Dyson met with some con-
siderable damage at his mill.
In the tobacco prize house there
was about 10000 pounds of tobacco
which will be damaged more or less.
It is said the entire loss to the Ware
house Company will reach about
500 and that Mr. Harvin's loss will
be in the neishborhood Of $1,000. Mr..
w. H. Bellinger, the general travel
ing salesman for F. W. Wagner 4 Co.,
Charleston, met with very narrow
escape from being killed or seriously
injured. He was riding along the
road in one of Legg & hutchinson S

Just then the tree fell and its limbs
