The South Carolinians are on the tenter
hooks with regard to the primary election
for United States senator, to be held to-
morrow. The reform" faction has split
on the candidacy of Evans, and there is
a very good prospect for the election Of
Earle. 1t has been developed that the
names Of several leader Of the reform"
party were signed to the appeal to Till
man without their knowledge or consent,
and they are disposed to resent the free
dom taken with their names and influence
by voting and working against Evans, the
rings candidate. According to Senator

According to the Hong Kong CORE
spondence of the Pail Mall Gazette, DR..
Gersin of the Pasteur Institute at Paris
has discovered a serum cure for the bu-
benic or black plague, which prevailed
with such terrible effects in China not
long ago. DR.. Gersin was specially deput-
ed by the institute in 1894 to watch the
progress Of the plague. He went to
Annoy China, and made his first expert
ments that very year. His reported claim
is that if the serum is administered to a
patient as soon as the symptoms are OBJ
served, the serum will cure in about
twelve hours. This bubonic plague is
one of the most terrible of all of the terri
BILE plaques of the east, and if the reports
of DR.. Gersin's discovery are correct,
science has achieved one of it's most i'm
portant trlumphs since the days of Lister

1t Was RubberIy's way.

Rubberly thought that he was having
one of the most trying days in his expe-
rience, and the rest of the family knew
that they were, says the Detroit Free
Press. 1t was Sunday, and so hot that the
leaves curled, the asphalt blistered and
the shingles warped.
The first thing Rubberly did after rising
was to make a plunge into the bath tub,
but he was out again as though he had
set down on a red hot stove, and madden
than a wet hen.
who in thunder set this trap for me?'
he yelled through the slightly opened door,
though there was no difficulty in hearing
him all over the end of town. who filled
this tub with ice water? The shock S
bound to give me pneumonia or quick con-
sumption, but it's little that any one about
this establishment cares. Send up the
brandy, some red pepper and a blanket. If
/ didn't know enough to produce a reac-
ton there's not a doctor in the city could
get there in time to do any good"
After shouting around for his under
clothes, wanting to know where they had
hidden his shirt this time, vowing that
his best suit had disappeared and an
nouncing sarcastically that of course no
one had touched his slippers, but that they
had just walked away from force of habit,
he came down stairs looking as though
AAt'N- pNAANNA
breakfast serving notice that he was go
ing to have system in that family or break
up housekeeping.
Where's that paper?" he roared as he
went through all the rooms as though
looking for fire. He Gained down for a
few minutes when the paper was handed
to him from under his nose but broke forth
afresh after he had thrown himself on
the lounge. "Oh, of course. The very
pages I wanted are gone. You women read
the fashion, take in the society gossip and
don't care a continental what becomes OF
the rest of the paper
Here are the sporting pages" said his
wife sweetly, and then Rubberly fumed
because she'd given the thing away to the
whole family. An hour later, when a
friend called in a buggy to take Rubberly
riding it took the wife, five children and
all the hired help to find his hat and
gloves. When he came back it was to
raise a storm because they had let him go
away without a handkerchief, and when
Mrs. Rubberly pulled one out of his coat
pocket he accused her of f1im-hamming
him. Now he has big placards in all parts
of the house: "A place for everything
and everything in it's place" But he has
the same difficulty in finding his things
that he always had, and always will have.

The Michigan Masonic Mutual Life As
ISOLATION has applied to the courts for a
receiver. As its name implies, It is ben
ert association" having its membership
among the Masons 1t took the concern
Just about the length of time that it takes
most others OF it's class to get into trouble
twenty years-though many do not sur
vive that long. If there are people who
might be expected to keep a benefit
association upon its feet, they are the
Masons who obhgate themselves to care
for the widows and orphans Of members
OF the fraternity. Georgia had Masonic
benefit association some years ago. But
1t went to pieces. The surviving members
after while became tired Of paying as
sessments. If old people did not die, or
lived on like old Methuseleh for more than
nine hundred years, there would be a rea-
sonable hope for the continuance of as
sessment life insurance companies; provi-
ded the officers did not get away with the
surplus in the payment of salaries, or
otherwise. The only sure way to win ones
share of the benefits of an assessment in
surance company is to join il in the spring
time OF it's youth. and then leave this
world without unnecessary delay.
John Carney, known to the world as the
Aston tramp, is once more only a disrepu-
table hobo. John has run the gamut of
greatness, from the tramp point of view,
and has dropped back to his natural level.
He was, to begin with, an unkempt pan
handler who carried an empty tomato
can, and begged handouts at the back
door On one lucky night he wandered
into the Aston mansion and fell asleep on
the plutocrat's bed; and woke up to find
himself famous. From that time he was
the recipient of pie where he had got a
crust before, and Of the shoes that kicked
him where he had formerly received a
kick. He lived on the fat of the land,
wore swell secondhand toys and patent
leather shoes every day. He was the en-
We'd of all tramps and he could not walk
so far in season but what he found that
his fame had preceded him. In mo-
ment of abstraction, however, John hired
himself out to a stevedore, and actually
worked two days. That ruined his for
tunes. The pies and the patent feathers
quit coming his way, and he was soon
once again only plain. undistinguished
tramp, carrying can and begging hand
outs at the back doors.

Victims Of the Moscow Disaster Are
Buried In Trenches.
Monday was day Of funerals In Mos
COW, 1.277 victims Of the disaster on
Hodynsky Plain being buried. The bodies
Of those who were identified were In.
TERED In private graves, but at the ex-
pcnse Of the municipality. The great
number of the unidentified dead were
buried In eleven great trenches, each fifty
yards long. The trenches were deep, and
the mutllatcd bodies were placed close to-
gether to find room for all. The surviv.
Ing friends and relatives are for the most
part Of the ignorant and simple minded
peasant class, and their grief and terror
at the sudden calamity are expressed In
demonstrative fashion. Only about half
the bodies recovered have been identified,
and the majority Of these are men, though
there are many children and several old
people, some 80 years old. Most Of the
private graves Of the victims have been
marked with wooden crosses. The clothes
Of the victims were heaped In huge pile
In one corner Of the cemetery, and In this
the people rummaged all day long seeking
the slightest trace that would afford q
clcw to the fate Of those missing. It Is
estimated now that a total Of 5000 per.
sons were killed and 1900 persons In.
jured, the majority Of them fatally, by the
disastrous crush. In the afternoon the

pital, where they spoke to and consoled

Imposed on the Government, together
with the appropriations made for imme.
diate expenditure on account Of rivers

100000. Nor 10 this all. The bill directs
numerous surveys and examinations,

which contemplate new work and further
Increased expenditures and obligations.
There is no ground to hope that, In the
face Of persistent and growing demands.
the aggregate Of appropriations for the
smaller schemes, not covered By con.
tracts, will be reduced, or even remain
stationary. For the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1903, such appropriations, to.
sether with the installments on contracts
which will fall duo In that year, can
hardly be less than &3O, 900, 1000, and II
may reasonably be apprehended that the
prevalent tendency toward increased ex.

ment which postponed payments afford
