Dogs and Liquor.
Atlanta journal

AllanIa journal.
The Charleston News and Courier
bemOans the fact that Chicago col
lected more revenue from its dogs last
year than the State of South Carolina
from its liquor business. There is
nothing surprising in this result. The
average Chicago dog, mean as he is,
is far superior to the quality Of booze
dispensed to the citizens of South
Carolina by its State bar-roOms. If
any sensible man had his choice to
purchase for the same amount OF
money all the dogs in Chicago or all
the liquor in South Carolina be would
not hesitate for moment. There il
some chance to improve and possibly
reform the mesnest cur, but no power
on earth could effect an improvement
in the stuff that is vended through
the dispensRries of South Carolina.
In this issue our sympathies are ell
tirely with the Chicago dog. He is a
better article IN every way than the
South Carolina whiskey, and better
citizen than the man who habitually
patronizes the South Carolina dis
pensaries

salvationists Who Use n Graphophone in
Preaching.


The most up-to-date religious organl-
zation. the Salvation Army, which never
misses an opportunity of exciting the
curiosity and interest of the crowd, has
secured theseryices of the graPhophone,
saws the New York Press There are
many thousands of villages and small
towns all over the country where such
a machine has never been heard, and
where its introduction is calculated to
evoke establishment and delight
The gruphophone consists of large
horn and stand which will enable an au-
dience of from 400 to LOCO persons to
hear a song as distinctly as if sung by
the individual, and its accessories COM
prise 10 records, including an address
by the commander, and also one by the
consul, and Is army songs, band Sc
lections, etc. IS blanks by which hope
records can be made; a travelling ~ !
to carry 80 records, and, finally, three
hearing tubes. A fun meeting similar
to those held in New York and London,
with complete band accompaniment,
will be given by the aid of the machine.
When a detachment strikes village
that it has been decided to capture, the
soldiers will proclaim in every direc-
ton the marvels of the seance that is to
be held, and the curiosity of the inhahi-
tants having been aroused, they may
be counted upon to appear in full force
at the place and time appointed
The machine win do the rest, even
asking for the collection. Then the vii
layers will sit in amazement and listen
to the assistant commanders voice,
while she, perhaps, is thousands of
miles away.

Several beggars in Pera own large
amount of property. One well-known
man has houses worth 10000 liras, and
yet is to be seen begging in filthy rags.
A poor governess, who was very charit-
able, used to give him a piastre twice a
week. One day she missed a Ira
(pound), and thought she must have
given it to the beggar by mistake, He
had gone home for the day, so she fol-
lowed him to his house on the TaNime.
He received her graciousIy. looking like
a pasha at least in his magnificent
robes. Il never Like to lose good
client" he said, and sent for his bag of
takings; "if there's q Ira here we shall
find it," Sure enough, the Ira was
there. Take it." he continued, and the
poor girl full of thanks, was hurrying
away when he beggar stopped her.
"Wait moment; you haven't given me
the piastrc."

since he had to go away and he told me
if Prescott came to keep him off as long
as could"
At this point in the Grafton Judge
Webb intsrposed and told the prisoner
that what he did in regard to Deputy
Marshal Prescott had nothing to do with
the present case.
The large number of spectators who
were eager to hear Mr.. Nadeau's account
of his arrest looked disappointed. Ma
deau, however, had little more to say.
1t was: II know that I did wrong,
but | did not know the law. I have
realized it and ask forgiveness.
Then Mr.. Morrill, said few words in
behalf of the respondent. This, like
where the greatest hardship came on the
innocent. The prisoner had left his
crippled wifs and eight months old child
with little to eat in his house in Aroos-
took.
Judge Webb, in sentencing Nadeau said
that he must be guided by tine record,
and that he should not deviate from his
custom in this case. The prisoner should
have thought of his family before he Vi

SELINO In DANGER.
Insurgents. Making 1t Hot for the
Turks.

MoslerNs Apply to Powers for Help-War
eign Patrols Resented.
Canea, March 1-Reports have been re-
ceived of skirmishes IN many parts Of
the island. A number of houses have
been burned, In some cases by Chris
tiaps and in others by Moslems. The
various deys requested Tewfik Pasha,
the new military governor OF the island
to invoke the aid of the Sultan co save
the Mussulmans in different towns that
are besieged by the insurgents. He re-
piled tha5 the Sultan was powerIess to
act and any appeal in behalf Of their
endangered co-religionists must be
made to the powers A despatch from
Selino, which is in a state Of aeige. statee
that the insurgents have captured Fort
Stavares, which commands the village
of Kandamos or Cadano A garrison
numbering 700 men were made prisoners.
The Moslem officials have conferred with
the British consul, with view to secur-
ing their release.
News from Selimo is very grave. 1t
is evident that II help is not received
from the powers the place will soon have
to capitulate.
The insurgents have mounted four
guns on commanding positions and
since vest erday have been delivering a
hot fire on the town and fort.
A deputation of leading Moslems visit
ed the consuls here today and declared
that as the powers had practically
cleared the island of Turkish forces and
refused to permit the Sultan to s3nd re-
inforcements, it devolved upon the pow
ers to protect the besiegsd Mussulmans.
The British consul proceeded immedi-
ately after the conference to Sufda Bey
to consult with Rear Admiral Harris,
commanding the British feet. 1he
location of Selino is suoh that effective
assistance for a warship is impossible
Another cause of excitement was the
action of the italian patrol who stopped
party of Moslem women in the streets
suspecting they were men in disguise
The Moslem officials allege thnt the
women were roughly handled. The
Italians deny the charge. The presence of
the patrols from the foreign warships Is
much resented by the Mohammedan off,
oials. They have urgently requested that
they be Withdrawn.
