His Vas No joke.

Ignatius Duffy and Robert Dixon two
wei known Young men OF Charleston,
went out last evening 10 play practlcal
joke on some friends uptown. They had
their minds set upon an innocsnt prank

serious matter before II was over ana
young Robert may lose his life IN conse-

The boys. at about 10 o'clock at night.
went up 10 the residence Of Mr.. Joseph
Aphonse, on Ashley avenue, near Bee
street. and waited FOR the return OF the
young ladies OF the house. Ihey knew
that these young ladies' were out, and eN-
pected 10 see them return with two mutu-
al friends. But when the ladies' returned,
the jokers saw that they were with gentle
men unknown TO them. ms was NOT
what they figured upon and they at once
decided TO give up their notion OF joking
and leave They had gone into the front
yard when first arriving, and as the party
came up to the gate Duffy and Dixon ran
TO the fence and leaned over It. Almost
Immediately one OF the young men who
was with the girls drew a pistol and fired
twice. Both boys ran some distance be-

BRYAN AND THE FARMERS.

In his speech at Lexington, KY, Hon.
William j. Bryan said:
If were to talk TO you from now until

cession before you. / noticed one motto
which though written in letters not al

YOU to find in any Of the speeches that
will be made this year by the opponents
OF free silver single sentence which
contains as much political economy ANA
common sense as is contained in that
phrase. High Money-Low Times
saw another motto. "0ur barns are full.
but our pockets are empty. In that
sentence is epitomized twenty years OF
farming history in the United States.
Nature smiles upon your husbandry; your
soil gives forth in rich abundance. but
according TO the experience OF the farm
or. with all his industry. economy and
patient toll, he finds that the lot OF the
American farmer grows harder every
year.
But now that the Kentucky farmers
are getting a dollar a bushel for their
wheat and now that Kentucky tobacco

think Of Mr.. Bryans calamity cry?

Saws the Petersburg Index-Appeal:
A church steeple In Richmond was
struck by lightning the other day. and
the building itself narrowly escaped de-
structlon. II Is surprisingly strange that
civilized and Christian people will cling

gerous relic Of what might have been a
very necessary feature Of church archi-
lecture In an earlier and less enlightened
age. hut which IS now quite superfiuous
as well as dangerous and expensive. The
money expended on steeples. TO the peril
OF life and property. would much better
be used In clothing the naked and feed
ing the hungry. The same thing applies
10 that other source Of torture and relic
OF barbarism-the church bell The mis-
sion Of the reformer will never be ended
until both OF them have gone.
The spires Of a city are undoubtedly
ornamental. and a favorite speech Of the
late DR.. John i. Edwards was TO char
acterize them as 1.-THE fingers OF mans
devotion pointing Heavenward." But
that they are dangerous. in more ways
than one. IS indisputable. and when the
steeple Of the Second Baptist church in
this city was recently blown down in
a wlnd-storm. the congregation sensibly
decided not 10 replace It.
