Nine negroes were sentenced TO pay a
fine of $40 each or spend ten days on the
gang by Recorder Hartridge yesterday
for gambling in a house in Yamacraw.
Two of them paid up.
One of, if not the largest rattlesnake
ever seen in this county. was killed near
Sandhy station on Saturday by Mr.. W. f.
Chaplin, superintendent of the county
work. The snake had eighteen ratues on
it. 1t is on exhibition a Barbee & Ban

Assistant General Passenger Agent H.

ed a cluster of pineapples from Fort

curiosity or a monstrosity. The fruit has
grown out In all directions from one point
and the result is a circular pineapple of
about twelve inches diameter and about
six inches in thickness. A fringe of the
prickly leaves encircles the fruit
An even dozen of English and Irish
sailors faced the recorder yesterday
morning, and later contributed $5 each to
the city's exchequer, all because the lads
mistook the Sailor Home for an old time
sailor boarding house, and engaged in
a devil of a row. When Policeman Nc
Hugh appeared they paid no respect to
his blue uniform and brass buttons, but
turned their billingsgate upon him. Re
corder Hartridge at first assessed the
crowd $40 each. but later cut the fines
in half.
Considerable excitement was created
yesterday afternoon on West Broad street
by the arrest of a young white man, r.
G. Fordham, for striking a colored wo-
man, Rilla Resen. Both the man and the
woman were taken to the barracks and
charged with fighting on the street

Few matters are of more Importance
than the selection of a school you wish to
attend or send your children, as such Sc
that are lifelong. Such a step should not
be taken hastily. The best way is to see for
ones self or see some one who has seen.
To this end prospective students of Rich

vited to visit the institution and see what
it is and what it does.
Many pupils who have not succeeded well
in other schools have here achieved re-
markabie success, much TO their own graf
idcation and that of their parents.
1t is well-known that the college course
Of study furnishes practical education Of
great value 70 those who have either lack

who find their ignorance not only a con

From the Pail Mall Gazette,~
Notwithstanding the intense heat, which
in Rome this year has really assumed eX-
traordiuary proportions Leo XIII. main
tains his usual health, feeling, indeed,
rather better and stronger than in the
winter. His holiness passes che hot hours
of the day in the apartment especially
prepared for him In the tower Of Leo ".
in the vatican gardens, where, by reason
of the thickness of the walls, the temper
ature is always fresh. Prof. Lapponi, his
personal doctor has often remarked 10 me
that the summer seems to benefit hm,
and that the season to be feared is the
winter, when it is almost impossible to
keep an even temperature in the immense
apartments of the vatican, and TO prevent
draughls, the lightest of which is felt by
his holiness. Besides tbs. the pope leads
in the summer months, without doubt
much easier life than in the winter, be
cause of the comparatively small amount
of business to be transacted and the al
most entire suspension of The function
and receptions which are for him most
exhausting.
Now the pope rises rather early, and
Immediately receives resume OF news
coming from all parts OF the word, pre-
pared purposely for him in the most con-
densed form by a special office in The vat
ican. which works from midnight until his
hour for receiving it, summarizing il from
teiegrams, letters and newspapers. The
general outlook over the world is shortly
after completed by a visit from Cardinal
Rampola, with whom he discusses the
most important affairs. After frugal
breakfast, accompanied by his private al
tendant he descends to the garden and IS
driven to the tower Of Leo ", escorted
only by a member of the Noble Guard,
with whom he cOnVerSes amlably about
the doings and gossip of the town. lie
usually descends from the carriage to take
a walk in the lower garden, winch, though
not large, is bright with blossoms, and IN
which he is said to take a great interest.
He occupies himself also with the growth
of his grape vines, speaking personally on
the subject with his gardeners. Grapes
are among his favorte fruit, especially
the pizzutelo an obong white grape,
found almost exclusively near Rome. IN
the tower he attends only TO ecclesiastical
or literary work, especially Latin poetry,
in which he is such an adept, and little
before sunset returns as he came to the
vatican palace. If nothing of great i'm
portance has occurred he is not disturb
ed with politics until the next morning.
II is asserted that the pOpe's attention
at present is again directed toward the
subject of international arbitration, OF
which he is such staunch advocate, and
which he considers a principle peculiarly
appertaning to the domain of the papacy.
He says that the duty of the common
Father Of the Faithful and the head of
catholicism is to work for the establish
ment of permanent peace among nations.
He seems TO think that the concert of
powers which has SO long succeeded in
remaining unanimous, is a step toward the
realization of his cherished IDEAL

frequently pronounced incurabe. It is NOT.
1t may be stopped-warded off-at almost
any stage. But if the sufferer neglects to
take the proper remedy in the proper way,
de2th is swift and certain.
Consumption like almost all manner Of
disease has its inception in a trio of all
embracing disorders. They are "imper-
feet digestion, " irregular bowels" and
" impure blood. " They are triplets. One
is dependent for existence upon the other.
Cure one, cure all. Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the best of all known
remedies for this disorder It corrects dis
ordered digestion, invigorates the liver,
regulates the bowels, makes the blood pure,
and the nerves strong. 1t is the great blood
maker and flesh builder 1t makes the
muscles firm and springv. 1t soothes and
lnvlgorates the nerves. 1t tones up body
and brain. 1t cures ninety-eight per cent.
of ali cases of consumption.

Co, Va, writes: " When was married weigh
ed one hundred and twenty-five pounds I was
taken sick and reduced in health and broke out
with disease which my doctor said was eczema.
He treated M disease but failed to do me any
good, and fell away to 90 pounds. I began us

younger than did the first time he ever saw me

,-o,tv Wife of W. J. POythross
ar.,ks Down in Narrating Her
Wany wrongs.
There has rarely been a case in the SUI
,.-ar court which aroused so much in
,.-set and pity as that of Mrs. Annie
7--,rress against her husband,
J. Poythress, which came
Yesterday for hearing
LING a suit for total divorce. The
..suv little woman was put to trying
.,r,ination on the witness stand in re-
,,ntas the wrongs which had been done
and the strange part of the case was
10, raa husband was not there TO hear
answer the narration of his wife's
.y,rces. His attorney pursued the de-
.rse i'm his absence.
l,rs Povthress is a prepossessing and
,'-.e+ber winsome little woman, and her
'erirent modesty and fervor made her a
rv attractive and extremely earnest
IsinHr she told of the cruel treatment
bi.b she had suffered at the hands of
sr husband How he has continuously
,ar-ad at her with little picayunish de-
nsn1s: how he has quarreled and sworn
,+ her. and refused to allow her to eat
fs hest things she would put on the ta-
D. and cursed dL IeI Nlltn Slle udtl on
.ra occasion taken the only egg in the
oise and cooked it for her child to eat,
inl now by countless other eXactions he
aunoved her; how he has failed to sup
9ort her and clothe her properly; how she
9o5 to take some of her wedding dresses
q make clothing for her child, and thus
ieny herself.
.Heaven knows l have done all l could
, hear it." she finally said in telling her
9GfuI story, her cheeks reddening with
he tinge of pride and anguish. Heaven
,nowa | tried every way l knew how to
avoid getting a divorce, for 1 knew the
humiliation it would bring me to-and
even If l don't get my divorce I shall tell
nothing but the truth, and then the half
will not be told"
Here the pretty plaintiff broke down and
cried like a. child. Her sincerity was be-
vond question. Her case was easily her
triumph The jury was not out five min
utes in bringing in the verdict in her be-
half granting total divorce, this being the
first verdict in the case.
". J. Poythress is the man who was re-
Gently brought before a court of justice on
most heinOus charge, but was acquitted
He was accused of having criminally as
saulted very young white girl. His at
torney raised the point in his defense yes
terday that after a lengthy spell of sick
ness he has not been in his right mind
and is threatened with lunacy.

The Dawson people may get the readjusu-
