The Legislature.

The most important measure to 60
through the Senate was Senator Fairs
bill establishing an industrial and re-
form school for girls. 1t passed the
Senate with only one vote against it,
and will have no difficulty in getting
through the House and securing Gov
ernor McCorkle's signature. The bill
provides for an appropriation of
S25,O 900, of which $4,000 this year
and $4,000 next year. 1t also pro-
vides for board of six directors, three
men and three women. Girls between
the ages of eleven and eighteen are
eligible to admission upon recommen-
dation of Justice of the peace or at
the option Of Judge Of the circuit
court upon a conviction.
The bill to give Morgan county
delegate in the Legislature came up
in the house on Monday, and party
fight was made of it. At present the
delegate district is composed of Jeffer-
son, Berkeley and Morgan counties;
Jefferson and Berkeley each elect
delegate and two delegates-at-large
are chosen from the district. The bill
before the Legislature proposes to give
each county a delegate with one del
egate-at-large. The bill was passed
by the House and will surely pass the
Senate. Delegates Henshaw and Hun
ter voted with the Republicans. The
Democrats opposed the bill on the
ground that the Legislature had no
authority to change disappointment.
A bill to repeal the law requiring
the publication of delinquent tax lists
is before the Legislature and will
probably pass.
Mr.. Payne presented the petition
of John Lewis and 2l0 others Of JEFF
ferson and Berkeley counties, asking
for an appropriation for Storer Col
lege.
A bill has passed the house com
polling fire insurance companies to
pay the full amount of policies on
property totally destroyed by fire
The bill will likely pass the Senate also.
The Whitaker theater hat bill
passed the Senate. 1t strikes directly
at the persons wearing high hats by
making the ofense a penal one if
they refuse to remove their hats upon
request during performance.
Liquor men gained a victory in the
passage of a bill permitting applicants
for license at summer resorts to take
out license for fractions Of year, in
stead of the whole year, as now.

BEFORE Congress spends any more
money on big battle-ships it ought to
provide capable men to command
them. 1t seems that almost every
time one of them is moved it is run
aground by some blunder. Last week
one of our finest ships had It's plates
seriously damaged by being run upon
a rock in New York harbor. Last
Sunday the Brooklyn ran afoul of a
ledge of rocks in the Delaware river
and was so badly injured that it will
have to be locked and repaired at
great expense. 1t has been but a few
weeks since the Texas actually sunk
while tied up at wharf at the Brook
Ign navy yard. Our war-ships could
be as well managed, many persons
think, by the commander Of Glouces-
ter Goldfish schooner as by some OF
our gold-bedeoked naval officers. In
this same connection, it is said that
nearly every vessel in the United
States navy, from the ponderous bat
tleships to the little torpedo boats,
has been found to be not only in
weakened but dangerous condition.
This is because of faulty construction,
the full knowledge of which has just
been brought before the Navy Depart
ment. As a consequence the MAORI
ty of the vessels of the service now
in commission, as well as many of
those under construction, will be al
tered at a cost that will reach into
the hundreds Of thousands.

THE President-elect last week Of
fered to Judge Nathan Golf, of this
State, place in his cabinet as Attor-
ney-General of the United States At
ter fully considering the matter, Judge
Golf finally decided to decline the Of
fer, and he so notified Mr.. Mckinley.
1t is no secret that Judge Golf, who
was shelved on the United States Cir
cult Court bench two years ago when
Mr.. Elkins was elected Senator, de-
sires to succeed Senator Faulkner in
1895. 1t is the ambition Of his life to
sit in the United States Senate, and
his friends openly say that he has de-
clined cabinet place in order that he
may further his senatorial aspirations.
If the next Legislature should be Re-
publican Judge Golf will probably win
the prize. In straight fight he can
defeat any other man in the State, not
even excepting Senator Elkins.

nounccd one of the most peculiar sem
fences upon Thomas Jackson, colored,
that has been heard in the criminal
court for several years. He sentenced
the man on five different charges, di-
recting that as soon as Jackson has
reached the limit Oh one he shall begin
the service of another. The charges
against the man were burglary, and
the limit of punishment in each case
is 20 years. Judge Ewing said that
jackson deserved the full limit in each
case, and that he would so recommend
to the prison authorities.

The BradIey-Martin Ball.

The much-talked-of Bradley-Martin
masked ball to come off in New York
on the 10th Of February it is said will
cost $3OO,0O0 It is a sinful extrava-
gance to crafty the ambition of Mrs.
Bradley-Martin, who desires to eclipse
Mrs. Vanderbilt's dance given some
years ago and which cost quarter of
a million dollars. No private house
being equal to the occasion, nearly the
whole Of the first floor of the Waldorf
Hotel has been engaged. Some Of the
expenses will be as follows; For rent
ofrooms, So, $50 for suppers, SIS, 900;
for so servants costumes, including
trumpeters, $1,000, total of $22,-
$50. Three orchestras will cost 81 900.
The floral decorations, which will be
more magnificent than any ever seen
before in New York, will cost $l5, 900.
The cotillion favors will also make a
record for themselves. They will cost
$4,000 At this figure an average Of
$50 worth of presents will be given to
each guest. 1t is estimated that in
vited guests will expend 100000 on
costumes. The invitations read that
the costumes must be historical and of
the sixteenth, seventeenth and eight
zenith centuries. It's understood that
no foreign historical character Of
lower degree than a prince of the
blood will be persona grata to Mrs.
Bradley-Martin Colonial American
costumes will lie permitted. Every
thing must be brand new and made
especially for the occasion.

If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source. it would lead back to our kitch-
ems. In fact, the secret of good health is
good cooking. If well cooked, foods are
partially digested if poorly cooked, they
are less digestibe than in their raw state.
If you are victim of faulty cooking:
that is, if you suffer from Dyspepsia, the
rational cure must be looked for in an
artificially digested food, and food
which will at the same time aid the di-
eestion of other foods. Such prepare
ton virtually rests the tired digestive
organs, thereby restoring them to their
natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared by
the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is just
such a preparation, and single 10 cent
bottle will convince you of its value. If
your druggist doesn't keep it, he will be
glad to get it through his wholesale
house.
