Warned Of His Child's Death.

PARKERsBURa, W. Va, March ~.
The following is from the last issue
Of the Monroe Watchman, published
at Union, W. Va:
"The death Of little Omie, the
three-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Marion C. Ballard, occurred at
their home, near Lindside, this county,
a few days. ago, after an illness Of
several weeks. Mr.. Ballard declares
that he was warned Of the death Of
his little daughter in very peculiar
manner. At. late hour on the night
before she died he was sitting, he
says, in the room where she lay. His
wife and the rest of the household
were asleep, and he alone was awake.
Suddenly the door opened and two
great white hands appeared and beck
oned his little daughter, who was
lying on the bed. He got up and
closed the door. Presently it opened
again and a second time the reckoning
hands appeared. He then opened the
door and went out into the hall and
from thence out Of doors, but could
see or hear nothing more.
"When his wife awoke he told her
that it was useless to hope for their
little girls recovery, as he he had
been warned that she must die. At
exactly the same hour the next night
the little ones death occurred. Mr.,
Ballard is not of the nervous or SUI
perstitious sort, and is evidently con-
vinced that this vision actually ap-
peared to him.

NEwBERRY, S. G., Oct. /, 1896.
Mr.. M. M Madison, Mgr. Mutual Ben
eft Life Insurance Co., Anderson, S. c.
Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of re.
cent date, asking my estimate of the value
of q policy contract in the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Co., of Newark, n. j., I
would say that my attention was called to
the advantages of owning q policy In this
Company about seven years ago by q
friend of mine who was receiving % per
cent dividend annually on q new policy,
when I was only getting about 10 per cent
on my policy Of $4,000 in the Equitable
Life and about II per cent on my $4,000
policy in the New Yo-t Life. His con.
tract and mine in these Companies being
about the same age. l gave up these poll.
cies in the Equitable and New York Life
and took out two policies of $1,000 each in
the Mutual Benefit Life and the smallest
dividend they have paid me was 20 per
cent. I carry $4,000 besides this in other
Companies, but I regard the advantages
offered by the Mutual Benefit superior to
any contract J. have ever examined, espe
cially the guaranteed face value, the 80
per cent loan plan, the reputation for
economical management, the liberal e1
tension features and the large dividends
they have credited me with for the past
six years. I would not hesitate to recon-
mend 1t to any one desiring reliable life
insurance for The smallest cash outlay.
Sincerely yours,

Necessitated Economy

The Board of Visitors Of the South
Carolina Military Academy met yester-
day in the Hotel Jerome. Every mem
Der except one was present. The appro-
priation for the Academy this year Ia
smaller than it has been for years past,
and the object of yesterdays meeting was
to devise means of running the Academy
on the reduced appropriation made by
the General Assembly for the education
and maintenance of the si1ty-eight bene-
fciaries of that institution. In the last
annual report of the Board of Visitors to
the General Assembly, by an itemized
statement of expenses, 1t was shown that
the cost of educationg and maintaining
the beneficiary cadets required an annual
appropriation of 5000 or about S295 TO
to the cadet. The appropriation for the
current term is $4,000. or about 1886 to
the cadet. The difference in the appro-
priation for the beneficiary cadets is about
$50 to the cadet. Now, the pay cadets pay
$500 per annum for their education at the
Academy, and it has been the boast OF
the friends of the institution that the poor
bows Sent there as benefciaries by the
State received just exactly as good fare
and education in every particular as the
paw cadets. The action ofthe Legislature
in reducing the appropriation for the
beneficiary cadets has made 1t necessary
for the Board either to make a difference
between the treatment Of them and the
pay cadets, or else require them to sup
plament the appropriation made for them
by the State with q contribution from
their private funds. After 8 full discus
sion of the situation, and in view OF the
fact that every economy has been prac-
ticed short of impairing the efficiency Of
tb. ccbool oDd 6ofno iniustica To the nav
cadets, who pay for all they get and
whose parents demand the high grade
of education and maintenance for which
they pay, the Board felt forced to adopt
the expedient of requiring the beneficiary
cadets to contribute $50 of the amount
heretofore allowed on his personal &C.
count. In other words, the education
and maintenance will be of exactly the
same quality as it is now at q cost of 1906
per man, and as the appropriation for the
beneficiary cadet Is only 1855 per man,
they will have to get $50 from their rela-
tives or friends, either in cash to buy
clothes from the quartermaster's stores,
or else in clothes sent from home. The
institution has hitherto furnished every
thing required by beneficiary cadets
while in the institutious and must curtail
the supply of underwear, linen, uniforms,
etc., by $50 worth, which these cadets
must furnish for themselves. The Board
of Visitors greatly regret the necessity
for this step, but could find no way to
avoid it. They hope that next year the
Legislature will restore the appropriation
to the old figures, 30 that they can again
give the beneficiary cadets just exactly
what the pay cadets obtain and without
any cost to them.-Colum6ia Register.

The effect of the hydraulic motor,
which is now being used for the purpose
of removing masses of earth, weli-nigh
passes belief. A stream of water issuing
from a pipe six inches in diameter, with
a fall behind it of 375 feet, will carry away
a solid rock weighing a ton or more to q
distance of so or 100 feet. The velocity of
the stream Is terrific and the column of
water projected is 30 solid that If a
crowbar or other heavy object be thrust
against it the impinging object will be
hurled q considerable distance. By this
stream of water a man would be instantly
killed if he came in contact with 1t, oven
at 8 distance of 30 feet. At 200 feet from
the nozzle q six-inch stream, 375 feet fall,
projected momentarily against the trunk
of a tree, will in a second denude it OF
the hes West bark az clearly as if 1t bad
been cut with an axe. Whenever such q
stream is turned against u bank it cuts
and burrows in every direction, hollow.

Getting Even.

CINCINNATI, April Several prom
inent women of this city have decided
upon a plan Of 'sgetting even" for the
passing of the Fosdick anti-high hat
bill. One of them said ave will
avenge ourselves by introducing q bill
in the Ohio Legislature by which the
men will be subjected to as big a snub
as the women were. The bill will be
drawn in a few days with the same
provisions and fines to be inflicted
upon theatre.goers and managers as
provided for in the Fosdick bill for
each person found leaving his seat
during an intermission at the theatre
or found splitting tobacco juice on the
floor. I don't know that it will pass,
but, nevertheless, it will be introduced"

GREAT nnIrA1N AND HAWAII.


Lying in the direct line OF steamship
route between British Columbia and the
ports OF japan and China. and also be-
tween the latter and the Pacific coast
pVrts Of the United States, the Sandwich
Islands would be a luscious plum for John
Bull, a most desirable addition To the
chain OF naval stations and colonies with
which that far-seeing gentleman has en-
circled the globe. Great Britain has at
tempted at different times to secure
fcothole there, both for strategic and COM
mercial reasons, and during the reign of
the late queen succeeded moderately well,
her chief counseiors and intimate friends
being British subjects. Since the es-
tablishment of the republic that influence
TO re-establish it.
An opportunity to assert it's power ap-
pears to the British government to have
presented itself. yolney Ashford, a Brit
isli subject exiled FROM Hawaii for par
ticipation in a conspiracy to overthrow
the present government, but now 4 resi-
dent of San Francisco, wants to return
there. Application being made on his be-
half by Great Britain, permission was re-
fused by the Hawaiian authorities, and
now the threat is made that Ashford shall
land even il it is necessary To send him
to Honolulu on board a British war YES
sci and enforce his landing under the
shadow of British guns. 1t is easy to see
how complications might arise from the
resentment of the Hawaiian government.
aud the insstence of Great Britain, by
means of which an opportunity could be
afforded the latter TIA gain footing which
she would not be slow to rellnquish.
1t is reported that in the event Great
Britain attempts SO high-honded piece
of business as is reported to be her in
tention Hawaii will implorc the assist
ance OF the United States against the vio-
lation other auth ority and dignity. Should
it come TO this pass this government can
hardly refuse to Interfere, for, although
the present administration, especially the
boss OF it, feels very sore over its failure
TO reinstate Queen Lii and accomplish the
overthrow of the young republic, it would
not dare to stand idly by and see Great
Britain grasp another feeble country by
the throat and throttle it as preimi-
nary 10 rob it of its possessions. Were
the President TO refuse to take action 1t
would only add another weight to the
load of obloquy which. on account OF his
course toward Hawaii, is now resting
upon him. II matters little whether Ash
ford goes to or is kept away from Hawaii,
but it matters much that Great Britain
shall not be permitted to gain still firmer
fotting in the Western Hemisphere.
