The Cost Of q Boy.

1t would be a good thing for all
boys and girls, too, to get some idea-in
real fgures-of what their parents do
for them. P. B. Fisk gives a lecture
On the cost OF a boy. He computes
that at the age of fifteen good boy,
receiving the advantages of city life,
will cost, counting compound interest
on the sum invested, not less than FIVE
thousand dollars. At twenty-one he
will not cost more unless he goes to
college, when he will cost nearly
twice as much. A bad boy costs
about ten thousand dollars at twenty
one, if he does not 60 to college. If
he does 60, he costs as much more.
And when man has put ten or twenty
thousand dollars into boy, what has he
Alright to expect of him7 What is fair3
Is it fair for that boy to work himself
to death, to run, jump, play ball, or
do anything in such away as would
disable him or break him down? Is
it fair for him to despise his father
and neglect his mother2 Is is fair for
him to ruin himself with drink, defle
himself with tobacco, or stain him
self with sin? Some of us have put
about all our property into boys and
girls; and if we lose them, we shall be
poor indeed; while if they do we'll,
we shall be repaid a hundredfold.
Boys, what do you think about the
matter

Freaks of Lightning.

Daring a hard rain and thunder
storm at Evansville, Ind, lightning
struck the home of I. N. Sanders. Il
first hit on the roof and then bounded
to the ewes, went down the corner OF
the house and entered the parlor,
where the children were playing on
mandolins. A chair on which one OF
them sat had leg knocked off as also
did a table in the room. The chill
dren were stunned but not injured.
The lightning then escaped over q
metal clothline in the yard. A stable
at the other end of the line was badly
damaged"

Cyolone Caves.

As protection against the dreaded
cyclone, a movement has been in
augurated in many school districts in
Kansas to build cyclone caves, so that
upon the approach of tornado school
children may not be turned adrift
upon the prairies. The patrons of the
Altavism and other schools in Central
Kansas will meet on a given day and
build cyclone cave, and the teachers
are directed to house their pupils there
when storm approaches.

SPICY CORRESPONDENCE
Between Senator TiIlmsn and q Charles.
ton Firm Of Grocers.

Between Senator Tillmsn and Charles
ton Firm Of Grocers.
The following spicy correspondence
appeared in the Columbia Record one
dav last week. The first letter in the
correspondence was in the shape of
circular letter addressed to Senator
Tlllman, and reads as follows:
Charleston, S. c., April 20, 1897.
Dear Sir-We write to ask your careful
attention to the fish schedule in the tariff
bill now before the Senate. We believe the
unwarranted increase in the duty on mack
erel, herring and other fish would be against
our best interests; that it will create mo-
nopoly in the fish trade and the consumer o!
fish will suffer thereby.
The American cod and mackeral fishermen
are thing of the past, and large percent
age of the fish products distributed from the
seaboard cities are the product of other
countries.
In our opinion it is not wise to increase
the price of fish at the dictation Of q few ves-
sci owners of the cast, who would, under the
contemplated law, have q monopoly of the
fish trade at the expense of the people Of the
interior, who consume fish products.
We respectfully appeal to you to enter
vigorous protest against the proposed in
crease of duty, which is both inexpedient
and uncalled for, and ask that you aid us as
far as in your power in keeping the rates as
at present at least. Yours truly,
Bernard O'Neill s. Sons.
Senator Tillman replied as follows
Washington, D. c., April %, 1897.
Messrs. Bernard O 'Neill & Sons, Charleston,
sc.
Gentlcmen-Your letter of April 20 re.
ceived. You seemed surprised that the Ding
ley bill was not framed in the interest of the
people, whereas the purpose of the trainers
was to foster sectional interest and for the
benefit of corporations and classes. l am
disposed to load the bill down, rather than
tighten it, as the best means of bringing the
people to their senses. B. r. Tillman.
10 this letter O'Neill & Sons wrote
the following:
Hon, 3. R. Tillman, Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir-Your favor of the 23d received.
We regret that you are not disposed to light
en- the burden of the people; at the same
time we are free to confess that Us between
the class legislation of the Dingley bill and
the appalling disasters that would be the re-
suit of debased currency, we prefer the
former. Yours truly,
Bernard ONeill 6 Sons.
This pleasant little interchange of
ideas is wound up by Senator Tillman
in the following:
Washington, D. G., April 20, 1897.
Messrs Bernard O'Neill s. Sons, Charleston,
S..
Gentlemen-Your letter of April 26th re-
ceived. AS I said nothing about debased
currency or the gold standard being the
cause of our evils, [ do not sec why you
should lug it in your answer. I am glad;
however. that have uncovered one of Char
leston's "so-called Democrats" who voted
for Mckinley and bid you Joy in your new
alliance. Respectfully, B. R. Tillman.

undertaking It is needless to multi
ply words. Their works speak for
them.
'But I am sorry to see friction be-
tween President Miller and certain
members of the faculty, which must,
in a measure, result disastrously to
the college, and especially to those
engaged in it. As friend of the COL

zen of the State, seeking the best in
terest of I'll within its borders, l de.
plore the present condition of things

members OF the faculty to adjust their
differences without invoking a scand.
alous public trial before the board of

We do not want Chapman. We want
Havemeyer. We want the man who
bought your man, if they were bought.
That is..what we are here for; and now
let the Senator who has moved to re-
fer the matter, and who loves the dig
nifty of the Senate as much as any
other man, take the resolution tc his
committee and bring back a measure
here that will mean something. We
can now make those men who have
charged that Senators have speculated

or we can punish them for contempt.
We can call on Havemyer and the
sugar trust grandees and make them
answer or put them in jail for con-
tempt. Either investigate so as to
find the truth and punish the criminal
or hush."
As. Mr.. Tillman closed there was no
applause. For a moment there was a
stir in the galleries which promised
something of a demonstration. The
debate promptly proceeded, however,
again branching into legal channels,
Messrs. Hoar, Chandler and Allen
taking part.
Mr.. Gray, chairman of the sugar in

The audience looked at Chester
Doyle and Chester blushed, and want
ed to interview him, but Furuya held
him back. A Japanese in the rear of
Chester was on TO the direction which
finger of scorn pointed. He rose as
one man and told the speaker he was
Drevaricating. The hotel man said he
was another, and the fellow in the au-
dience reached for him in two jumps,
and then there was a clinch. ShlOZaWa
tried to separate them, but failed.
Then he adopted heroic measures by
taking him by the collar with one
hand and the waistband of his trous-
ers with the other and removed him
from the stage From there the hotel
man was lifted to the stairway.

While the administration has made
no explanation of the reason why the
resolution will not be transmitted
through the State Department, one of
the reasons at least is that it might
tend to involve the United States in
controversies appertaining entirely to
European continental questions, which
it has always been the policy of this
Government to avoid, and would give
serious offenSe to the Turkish Gov
ernment and probably to other Euro

The next gentleman to volunteer his
services was one whose business in
terests were evidently affected by the
difficulty. His patriotism did not seem
to have been touched in any way. He
was recognized directly he stepped
alongside the center table and received
generous applause from a number of
people in the audience. The man is a
hotel keeper and it was suggested by
Interpreter Doyle that the claquerS
were boarders in arrears. But this was
not confirmed Before the hotel man
opened his mouth TO speak, he gave
the impression, by his attitude. that
he was there to speak piece even If
it landed him in Jail. He spoke his
little piece and was then landed on the
stairs leading "a the street. He said, in
part before he was landed:
