DIR. MANLY RESIGNS
As President OF 'urmau Univcrsity-.Sur-
prise and Regret.
Special to The State. |

Grccuvillc, June 26. There is the
greatest regret in the city at the rcsig-
nation OF DR.. Charles Manly as prcsi-
dent Of Furman University. Tho rcsig
nation, which was sent in last week TO
tho board Of trustees, was withhold
from tho public until yesterday when
one of the trustees, in answer to di-
| rect question, admitted the report to
be true If the resignation is accepted
the connection of DR.. Manly with the
university will be severed on June 30th
Several years ago the board requested
DR.. Manly to resign the pastoratc Of
| the Baptist churches ut Seneca and
Bclt0n, and devote his whole time to
his duties as president But DR.. Manly
claimed that he could not afford to give
up these churches while the university
paid him Il salary Of only 81, 80 year
This matter has since been the cause of
! constant friction between DR.. Manly
| and the board, the latter, it is said, in
sisting that tho SALARY was large enough
for the services performed. But the
general opinion is that the amount is
worry mcagrc.
Sixteen years ago DR.. Manly succeed
ed the late DR.. J. G. t'urman as prcsi-
dent. Then there were only 81 students
attending the institution, but this year
tho enrolment ran up to 10. The fac
ulty has been increased and the stand.

The number of minors who be-
come depositors in the postal banks
of countries having the system in
Operation is very large. II is ps;n-
ipally for the purpose Of encour-
aging children to save that provi-
sion is made for stamp deposits.
In Great Britain, for instance,
the smallest deposit which will be
received and entered in pass book
is one shilling, or "a cents. How
ever smaller amounts may be- saved
by stamps. A child with a penny
may buy a stamp and affix it to
lard. When this card contains IL
stamps it can be deposited as
shilling, and the depositor is entitl-
ed to receive a pass book. This
arrangement makes the institution
very popular among the children,
and is so convenient as to stimulate
them to make use Of it's advantages.
In addition, the schools are fire.
|quently made use Of as agencies of
the postal bank for the collection of
savings. The teachers receive the
deposits CT the children and turn
them over to the postal bank au-
thorities. Belgium is one of the
countries in which the activities of
the savings bank are extended to
the school room. Out of 7 7,447 pri-
mary schools, inclusive Of infant
sch )ols and the schools OF primary
instruction attached to educational
institutions of other classes, there
were 4,79S which took part in the
savings bank business. The num-
of children in those schools possess.
ing deposit books was 154, 1872, Of
whom SO, ,309 were boys, and 67,.
S83 we're girls. Including the
schools above primary grade there
were. according to a recent report,
5,056 schools of all kinds in which
2OO,S47 pupils had saved 3,734, ,4O2
francs. Most Of the schools of Bel
gium, therefore, it may be said,
teach thrift and economy with their
instruction in the elements of ed
ucation.
The spectacle OF the post Offices
Of country being used as a means
for teaching the young the value Of
saving, and inculcating in them
habits that will be Of great use to
them in later life, should make
every thoughtful person an advocate
Of postal savings banks. Chicago

gold bug boilers in Indiana are
maintaining an organization distinct
from and hostile to the democratic

Though frosty dews their charms bedighA

THE vIOLIN'S vlOCE.
The Pathetic Story Of q Musician and I
Dying Child.

The dark angel of death was
standing outside the musicians door,
for little Annita, Maestro Narditti's
child, was fading away; no tears,
no prayers could avail, not even
Carissima's lovely voice.
Carissima's voice was hushed
now; the maestro had no heart to
take up his dearly loved violin and
play to soothe his sorrow, as he
had done many years ago, when his
wife died and left this little one be-
hind.
Heaven had given him the divine
gift of genins and had hidden him
call aloud to the world. So Caris-
sima and he had played together
through sickness and sorrow and
success, and through all the chang
ing scenes Of life they had been
faithful friends.
They had just come back from
the crowded hall; the people said
that never before had the maestro
played so beautifully and that new
er before had the vioIin's voice.
sounded SO mournful and pathetic.
Well, you see, they did not know
the reason; but we do, for both
were thinking of the little dying
girl, and how could their thoughts
be anything but sorrowful or the
outward expression Of thos Ell
thoughts be anything but mournful?
The father was weeping by his
child's beside. But she said: "DoI
not weep; sing to messing me to
sleep, for am so weary, dear faith
er, and the evening has been so long
without thee.''
Then he rose and played to her,
and she closed her eyes and lis
tened happily TO Carissima's voice.
1t sang a song without words-the
music alone told the tale-of a pure
young life, too pure for earth, and
therefore tobe taken away to that fair
land where only the good and pure
and true can dwell. Yet it was
hard to leave the dear ones behind
and to know that they would be
desolate, and here the violin's voice
sobbed and trembled as if from sor-
row, and the melody became sadder
and softer, as if describing the very
parting which was soon to take
place, then the lingering notes died
away and the maestro's hand was
still.
''Is that ALL" murmured the
child; "oh, play again."
Once more he raised his bow on
high, and resounded with a psalm
IF lriumph-the same melody, but
no longer soft or sad, for the gates
,f the fair land were opened wide,
and amid the jubilant strain the
;hild had passed away with the
angel Of eath.-Belgravia.

Some of the State officials, who
compared the Indiana tax figures
with those of Illinois, have discov-
cred that although the population
Of that State is nearly double that
of Indiana the amount Of taxable
property in this State exceeds the
amount in Illinois by $472,5l2 ,0e3.
The total assessment in Illinois in
1896 was $Sl5, $40, $50 while that Of
Indiana in 1S9, was 81 ,289, ,191 ,713.
The officers say that the excess in
Indiana is caused by the fact that
in Indiana little property escapes
taxation, the railroads being COM
pelled to pay their full share.

Failure Of the Wanderers.

The Associated Press, non
PARTISAN newsgathering agency
'ends out this significant paragraph
With reference to the failure ot the
)imetallic commission
"The commissioners believe theil
allure means that no further efforl
n behalf of bimetallism will bs
made for many years to come
They attribute their failure to the
opposition of the bankers and of the
London Times. Until these forces
we're aroused all signs pointed to
20 operation of the British govern
ment."
Tersely and clearly the whole
story of the failure of the bimetalic
commission and the reason for it is
told. Before the commission start
ed on their rainbow chasing expe-
lition the result was foreknown.
That distinguished officials in the
English and French governments
favored international bimettallism,
that the agrarian population of the
two countries believed in it and that
financial writers of prominence
we're championing the movement
deceived no one, or ought nct
to have deceived any one. All
these placed in the balance against
the bankers counted for nothing.
When the Rothschilds crack the
whip, governments spring in the
harness.
The republicans voted for McKin-
ley in the belief that bimettallism
could be secured through interna-
tional agreement. Now that the
has failed will they
show the mental honesty of Presi-
dent K. Benjamin Andrews Of Brown
university, and ad nit the only way
to secure bimettallism is through
this country taking the initiative?
What do the republicans think Of
the men that have defeated the ends
of their commission? Are they
ready to believe the London Times
and the London bankers
divinely annointe1 to govern Amer
lea with rod of gold? Surely the
of the bimetallic commits
sion will be a revelation to them.
Surely their preju lice must give
away before their patriotic indigna
lion. Evansville Courier.

That was a rather significant
statement of banker A. M. Fletcher
in regard to the financial lessons o.
the past few years: ''One thing
had been learned and that was that
in the future the banks of the West
would have to do business with the
banks of the West, and not trust SC
much to the banks of the East. y
The West has to learn the lesson Of
independence in many things.
Kansas and Nebraska took the lead
in asserting independence and, in
spite of direful results that were
prophesied concerning "driving out
foreign capital" they are now more
proserous than ever. Indiana has
learned something of the lesson IN
regard to insurance. 1t is a branch
of education that will grow.-Ind.
