AN OVERRATED BEAST.
A Sudan Correspondent INDUCES In lie
Elections on the Camel.


Elections on the Camel.
The London News correspondent with
the Sudan expedition sent the following
reflections on the camel:
The camel, be it at once said, is an
oYerrated beast. There is great deal of
him, hut be is not for his size nearly so
strong as the useful, unpretentious dom
key. Then, too, his anatomy is so
strangely conceived His legs are at
tached to his great. unwieldy carcass
with seemingly so little consideration
for the uses to which (merely viewed as
legs) he might BIZ expected to put them,
and his neck and tail are so obviously
disproportionate to the rest of him, and
both so useless, that the camel is some
how incomplete, or, owing TO some mis-
take, was never finished off ut all
Even the qualities he possesses tend
to strengthen one in this bewildering
suspicion. For instance, he can kick
himself violently in the-let us say the
front Of the back-with his fore leg. He
does ii constantly. Time and again have
devoted long hours (fruitlcssly, / must
admit 10 al attempt To win the conf
dcnce of my favoritc camcl--my favorite
because he is less cruel to me than the
others, ! have wnoed him with the sof.
notes Of my kourbash, have tempted
him with the thorniest of mimosa
branches. | have putfed tobacco smoke
into bis supercilious nostrils.
And then, just as | have fanced |
saw the light of sympathy dawning in
his long dashed eye. he has risen all of
ne movement to his feet, grinncd at
me in friphtful manner, disclosing
forest Of green and broken teeth, and
gazing at me full, with moro vindictive
contempt than ] have ever marked i'll
any human eye, has kicked himself VIC
lently in tho stomach and lay down
again, as who should say, "Now. go
away and don't bother, like good
hoy.
Then he can gnaw hi own tail-his
absurd, useless little rig of tail that
isn't even worth biting. But is that an
object worth living for? Or, again, he
has, to be sure, seven stomachs, Of
which, vain beast, he is so Unfortunately
proud Gas though he had anything to do
with it) that he is constantly fetching |
up one of them to show you and blows |
it ont from his great, ugly throat in |
horrid, glittering, transparent bulb for
you to admire.

Reflections of q Bachelor.

The average man would rather have
wife whom his friends admire than
one he admires himself.
A woman may take care of her face
10 the last. but she takes care of her
hands and feet only till she gets mar

DISPENSARY IN CHARLESTON
The Chief OF Police in Defence of
His Administration,

Capt. j. Elmore Martin, of Charles
ton, in charge of the metropolitan
police OF that city, makes the following
statement as to the enforcement of tho
dispensary law, in letter to the News
and Courier:
AS so much has been said and written
about the enforcement of the dispen-
sary law here IL would be proper. at
this Juncture. to touch also upon this
subject. Whilc many of our citizens
and some of the ministers that signed
the petition to the Governor are op-
posed to the present system all good
citizens encourage obedience to all laws.
In the report forwarded to the Gov
ernor. embracing period of ten
months, as the department is now
constituted, the decrease of drunken
ness has been reduced to wonderful
extent. The sum total for drunken
ness and drunk and disorderly cases
| only rea;hcs 277 arrests; whereas,
prior to the dispensary law, 800 arrests
for the same offences were the usual
average for the year.
Under the municipal management as
the executive offer of this department
L endeavored with equally as much
| earnestness and effort to enforce the
| dispensary law as at present, but it
was impossible to accomplish the same
results. 10 enforce any law that Is 80
unpopular in a community as the dis
pensary law is here, the creatures in
vested with its enforcement must be
removed from influences that are an
tagonistic to its provisions No man
living can do it with d police force
operating under such auspices, a
expect to accomplish SUCH
beyond the bounds o.
tiles.

THE TREATY RATIFIED.
Lorin L. Thurston Sure the Hawaiian Leg
islature Has Done It's Part

islature Has Done Its Part
New York, September ia spe-
cial to the Herald from Washington
says: ''The Senate of the National
Legislature of the Republic of Hawaii
has by this time ratified the treaty
annexing the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States"
This assertion was made to your
correspondent by Mr. Lorin T. Thurs
ton, Charge d'Affaires of the United
States: Mr.. Thurston said that the
Senate of the Hawaiian legislature
had been called to assemble on Septem-
Der 8th, and as that body is unani-
nous for annexation he has no doubt
that it has ratified the convention
without dissenting voice Both the
Senate and House of Representatives
OF the Hawaiian Legislature are pledg-
ed for annexation, according to Mr..
Thurston. Just before the adjourn
ment Of the two houses last year a
joint resolution was adopted declaring
1t to be the sense Of the Legislature
that the interests of Hawaii demanded
her annexation to the United States.
This was adopted unanimously. AS the
complexion of the Senate and House
has not changed since the adoption of
the resolution Mr.. Thurston has no
doubt that so far as Hawaii is con-
cerned, all the steps possible has BIT
taken to complete annexation. l. is
believed in administration circles
that the effect of the ratification of
the treaty by the Hawaiian Senate
will be to influence some of the mem
bers of the United States Senate now
in the doubtful column to vote for tile
convention next session. All that Is
now necessary is the approval of that
body, and it is not believed that many
members will be willing to shoulder
e,,o responsibility of defeating annexa-
ton and thus throw Hawaii into the
hands Of Japan.

AN INSURGENT VICTORY
A Garrison of 200 Men Slain a. Consola-
ciOn Del Sur

A Garrison of 900 Men Slain at Consola-
cion Del Sur
New York, eptember 13.-The Sun
prints the following special cable from
its Havana correspondent:
The sensation caused by the news
OF the capture of Victoria de las Tunas
by Gen. Garcia was not over yet in Ha-
vana when another report came which
made the loyalist Spaniards in the cap
ital shiver. The important town of
Consolation del Sur, in Pinar del Rio
province, was attacked three days ago
by the insurgents and the whole of the
garrison, composed of 200 volunteers
from Havana, slain by the revolution
lists. AS soon as the terrible work
was done the insurgents left the town.
A strong Spanish column which arriv-
ed some hours afterward buried the
bodies of the volunteers.
"The garrison of Consolation del Sur
had been marked for death by the in
surgents for long time. They were
considered deserters from the Cuban
army, most of them being native Gu
bans, who got good pay from General
Weyler and were especially employed
because of their knowledge of the coun-
try as scouts for the Spanish guerilas
in raiding the Cuban hospitals all
around that neighborhood"
