ALL TIE WAY FROM CHICAGO.
a Little Girl Seven Years Of Aga Travels
Alone.

Alone.
The Columbia Registers says. to Mrs
Adams. of that city, bright little girl
vas brought Thuraday afternoon. She
is but seven years cd, but she has
made the long journey from Chicago
here unaccompanied by any one to
care for her. She came through with
out mishap through the kindness and
attention of the conductors and pas
sepgers. Though the little thing is so
happy, behind the reason OF her long
journey is sad story. Her name is
Alice Atkinson, and her parents live
in Chicago. They are poor, but re-
spectacle. Her father became desper
ately III and had to 60 to the hospital.
Upon his work the family depended
for support. The mother bravely
went to work, having secured some
kind OF position in a hotel. She
could not take proper care of her child
under the circumstances, so she deter.
mined 10 send her to her brother, Mr..
Charles Wise Of Bamberg. There was
10 other way to do it except to send
her alone and put her IN the care OF
the conductors. The mothers story
evidently touched the heart OF some
railroad official, for passes were pro-
vided for her through to her cestina
ton. With a little lunch and no
money, Alice started on her journey
Sne did not suffer for food or any COM
tort. Conductors are kind hearted
men, and they saw that she wanted
Tor nothing. Passengers learning her
story and being attracted by her VI.
vacity, gave her small sums Of money,
and when she got here she had left 81
cents Of which she was very proud,
and on the shortest acquaintance she
would SHOW her treasure. Ar the I'd
OF one lice the conductor would turn
her over 10 tee care Of an cticer Ct
the connecting line and thus it was
that she became tbs. charge Of Conduc
tor Brunson OF the Southern railroad
st AshevilIe. Before arriving in Co.
lunbia Conductor Brunson WAS some
what puzzled to know what to do with
;he little girl after ne got there. He
mentioned the fact to some ladies on
board, among them being Mrs. Fraus
L=idy, wife OF the foreman OF The
Register Office. She consented 10 take
charge OF her for the night and Coa-
ductor Brunson promised 10 call for
her Friday morning and send her on
to Augusts. From there she will be
taken to Bamberg and her long trip
will have endeG. She is too young to
realize the pitifuI cond!.ian Of her pa
rents and seems delighted ;"2t she is
going Ito o7 south where !, a!n't SO
cold" Sne Immediately became the
pet Of the whole household and all
will regret to lose her. For cpr Of
her age she is very precious. Sh:. is
not at sll bashful and makes frie. is
Immediately with everybody. Nc
wonder she got through safely, for no
one could be butinterested snd attract

a letter bearing on political cond
tions generally, from Senator Henry
N. Teller, of Colorado, has beea re.
ceived by VIM. Wilhelm, representa-
tive OF the Republican silver party IN
Pennsylvania Among other things
Senator Teller says: g
81 have never said thoug ut thgres.
1as little hope of bimetallism. That
is one of the many falsehoods or the
gold press. I have said there is e
nope for it under the Mckinley adj
ministration, and I am confident that
nothing will be done for the plain
people of the country during this ad-
ministratiou. I have no interest in
The fight between Tammany and the
Republicans. / do not hope isr
Georges election, although it would
please me greatly if he c2uld succeed.
The election OF the Tammany candi-
date will not indicate that the Demo.
cratic party of the country is going to
abandon silver. The Democratic pas
ty is committed to silver, and wiz
continue on that line, and the gold
Democrats will 90 to the Republican
party, and the influence of the gold
Democrats will have the effect OF SO .,
grading and debasing the party as 10
make the old liberty-loving Republi-
cans leave it. I expect to see the Re-
publican party in the hands of the
gold Republicans and the gold Demo
Gratis, and under the domination and
control of the worst element ever
known in American politics.
II do not care what your Pennsyl-
vania platform says about the per
capits circulation. Governor Hastings
and oil the Republican leaders OF your
state understand that that platform
was made to get into Office on, and T
expect to see the influence of your
state given and your senator's and
members of congress brought to ee4r
On congress to retire the greenbs ks
and treasury notes and let the t4nks
and bankers of the country issue
whatever paper money they think thes
country needs, and that issue will
then be determined by the interests of
the banks and bankers, and not in the
interest of commerce or the people.
The fight for silver is still on, and
will be until we get righteous mos
etary system, and we never will have
this until We get open minis for gold
and silver at a rate TO be established
by Law.

at Welhesbane, Pa, Thursday the

Sheriff Martin and his deputies for
the Latimer shooting. The true bills
included 19 for murder, one for each

considered collectively. Thirty.six
true bills we're found in the same way
for felonious Wounding against the
same defendants. The likelihood is
that Sheriff Martin, and his deputies

Neither Society Nor Oficia,dom Were
Represented.

Washington. ID. c., March 17.--SeV-
eral hundred wel-dressed people We're
present Out the President, Mrs. Nc
Iiinley, the cabinet and the congress
were notably absenN this afternoon at
the reception given from half-past two
until six o'clock by the eX-Queen of
Hawaii at the Cairo flats, where she is
living. While her callers represented
a well dressed. highly respectable ele-
ment of Washingtuns population. So
ciety was not there nor was the official
element.
Captain ]. A. Palmer, diminutive
fleet of foot, smiling of countenance
awaited the arrival of each detachment
of callers at the last arch of the cor
ridor from where, having baked the
| inclination of the visitors not to leave
visible evidence of their call in the
| shape of a card, he formally preceded
I them into the drawing room and went
/ through the ceremony of a preSenta-
/ tion. 1t was decidedly startling to the
average caller to have this small, suave
| man DreCede to the presence of roy
| atty, albeit a dethroned queen, and
! with a salaam worthy of an eastern
| pOtentate make the presentation in the
| following manner: May it please

hand to the man standing on the right
of the queen, Mr. Halleluis."
The queen to the great disappoint-
ment of the crowd, was not in her royal
robes. owing to the recent death of a
relative the queen and her companion

| handsome woman with Il perceptibly
| large admNture of white blOOd-Were
! clad i'm sombre black, unrelieVed by

! About the high neck bodice at the
| throat was a necklace of what appeared
| to be sCarabatS with pendant of the
! same curious crystal as that of the

| a genuine turkey-tail fan, with tor
| toise shell handle ON her wrists were
old fashioned gold bracelets with cen

Mr. Heagy, Of Dauphin, said the bill
would result in increasing the price of

There was also considerable discus
