Closing Exercises of the Columbia School List of Prize Winners-Burglars
 Abroad-Personal Notes.

Columbia, Ala. June 5.-(Special Core spondence.)-Last night witnessed the closing exercises of the Columbia school and that of Miss Hurndon's music class. The children acquitted themselves to the admiration of all present, and special praise is due Miss Hurndon for the suc- cess of the entertainment.
 Prizes were given by Miss Hamer, of the public school to Walter Brown, for. excellence in scholarship; to Jamie Camp bell, in orthography, and by Miss Hurn- don to Ina McGriff for being first in. the music class.
 Our people were astonished yesterday morning by the announcement that the homes of pr. w. c. Cleveland and Mrs. Anna McGriff had been burglarized, the formsriof a suit of clothes and the latter of H&oi guns. There is no clue to the pefAetrator though 1t was evidently the worksef one familiar withathe. surround irgs of each place. f9s 1g

A Religious Sect In West Wheeling
 Which Is Influencing Politics. 5f.7

A fIe1lRlOuS fCett LII " Cot fsHCSaAiAS
 Whbch Is Influencing Politics. 5l1
 IA novel religious organization has been organized by William and John Heller, at West Wheeling, Va, says 'the Philadef- phia Inquirer. The HelleEzs- were never connected with any church, but were de- vout believers in the Deity and in the strictest moral code that could be devised. They and their families were the, best of people, and were very wealthy. The brothers have a large influence among the men who are employed in their works and the townspeople in general. for all the poor have feI. the comfort of their charity many times. Accordingly when the tMeSsrs. Heller decided, 70 start a new church, and built a perfectly plain. unornamented and unf9afrrt ed barnrHke structure, they soon had many followers, and the members of the new creed as well as others dubbed the new congregae kfon The Hellerites." though the HeFlers themselves call 1t the .True Church of Jesus Christi"
 There are several queer things in con- nection with the creed, including num- ber of forms which. will be of no small benefit in a hygfendo and sanitary way They do not believe In fine use of af1es ball lot, holding that God Is Directing. every thing, and that to vote aud thus attempt to change the order of things would be

BRYAN AND THE cUcKoos.

The Washington Post, independent in politics, but one of the ablest edited pa pers of the nation, and published at the national capital, being always in posi- tion to get an accurate trend of public sentiment, has the following splendid ed- itorial on the effort of the mugwump D ess to proclaim the "passrg of Bryan"
 We note in a few southern cuckoo newspapers certain outbursts of fabby jubilation over what the editors are pleased to call "the passing of Bryan" Some of these editors stiD retain the fed eral offices to which MT. Cleveland ap- pointed them four years ago. Others are patiently waiting for the Cleveland millennium four years hence. Bryan is their bugaboo and his passing" is the vision which irritates the fatuous sleep.
 Has there been passing of Bryan?' Does MT. Bryan stand lower today in the esteem, the confidence, the affection of the democna tic masses than he did on the day before the election last Novem- Der? Defeated candidate though he be. has he lost the smallest fraction of his influence sover those who followed him through the brilliant ard dramatic cam paign of 1896? We look in vain for anN evidence fo such effect. Nowhere in the slightest s1ndica ton that his star has waned. We see MT. Cleveland retired to private life after twelve years as leader. eight of which he spent as president of the United States and, save the little band of fsathered ones who roosts and twitter ih the reform club of New York we detest no symptoms of sorrow or re- gret in the ranks of the democracy. But Bryan. the standard bearer of a few months, the defeated chieftain with no record of domination to commend him, with no background of successful leader

 But It Was Asked So Frequently That It isyiiift Drove a. Man Insane
 Y A man to whom was given the name of George Brown was committed to the h. safe Asylum by Judge Northup, of Port land, recently, says the Portland Ore genlan." The case was one of the most peculiar that has come under the atte h. tfQn of the authorities for q long time. Jailer Resing found the man sitting on the curb at Third and Stark streets, and upon addressing him with a query as to his name and business, received in reply a torrent of abuse and profanity. Pre- suming the man was under the influence of liquor the officer placed him under arr rest on charge of drunkenness. When taken to the station the captain, as is usual, asked the prisoner his name. The question again loosened the foodgates Of a marvellous stream of profanity, which could only be suppressed by placing the prisoner in dark cell. When he had bes come quiet he was transferred to big cell with the other prisoners, and one of the latter asked him his name. The calm scountenance immediately changed again, and the usual bitter imprecations of the man were repeated. Each effort of the officers always resulted in the same out burst.
 ., He finally consented to talk and told the officers a peculiar story. He said he was tormented by people asking him his name. Tn Brooklyn, where he formerly resided, he would occasionally come 'ins contact with man who would ask him his name, and to avoid them he went West The first man on the car to speak to him was the conductor, who asked him his name When at a hotel they would always ask him his name. On the road it was the same, no matter where he fled. and, to crown his torment with the greatest wrong, he was confined in jail to hear the question repeated. s

 Nothing in the career of this extraor- dinary young man is as astonishing as the present relation to and influence over the partE Eorganizationof which last July he was made the candidate and represen- tative. ssWhen at the Chicago conven- tien he first sprang into prominence; whsn elevated in an instant to dazzling aJtitudes4and evironed with the inexpli- cable magic of popular enthusiasm, he seemed alnnost demigod; even then he was a less wonderful product of polit- ieabevclution than he is today. The sud- den ifervorof a party gathering, the mys- terfoiis fhdgnetism that transforms men into dexotees are not uncommon things in our experience.
