miles over the frozen roads to the little
school house in the valley.
When he walked into the building the
young confederateS were chafing under
the restraints that were keeping them
from the front. They were talking
wildly over the latest fragments of
news from the battlefield. which was
put together piece by piece.
Loud and deep were the curses they
were sending TO high heaven against
the north and Lincoln. Van Wyck list
ened. but he had nothing to say. With
his ears tingling from the cold. he
jumped on the highest desk in the room
and waved his hand above his head.
The boys watched him. Before they
had time to ask his meaning, he opened
wide his throat and sent up yells for
President Lincoln.
Not . soul moved. The five dozen
soldiers Were struck to the floor. The
declaration for Lincoln was too bold
and daring, Again the boy cried, Three
cheers for Lincolnl" From all sides of
the room the boys in a concerted move
ment dashed forward and pulled Van
Wyck down from his perch.
Down with the trajtori" they cried.
Van Wyck expected the storm that
followed his speech. AS he hit the
floor he swung his right arm and saw a
stream of blood flow from boys nose.
With q Shrek of rage the chap fell
back. Another took his place. Another
swing left another broken nose. Then
the crowd surged and fought the child
from all sides.
Finally they were pulled off. and Van
Wyck was led away, limp and sore. An
investigation was had, and the matter
was brought to the attention of the
school board, but nothing came of it,.
An apology was afterward sent to Van
Wyck by his enemies, who had to admit
his fight was the Quickest in the his
tory of the village.
A month or two later Robert Van
Wyck went to New York and has never
since returned to South Carolina. Many
of his kin reside here. and within the
borders of the state no name is more
honored than that of Van Wyck.

in that war. He was twice promoted
for bravery, and at one time saved the
life of Schuyler Hamilton. Soon after
the war ended he went to Europe and
subsequently took part in the Crimean
war as an officer of a cavalry company
organized for the sultan. Later he was
decorated by the sultan and received
medals from the English, French and
Turkish military societies. At the out
break of the civil war he returned TO
this country, and under the name of
Spangenberg fought in the northern
army with Sheridan. Then the colonel

Paris to ask if the discriminating docu-
ments had been procured on German
territory. NJ. Cassimir- Perier made a
guarded reply, but, in view of the fact
that he had been kept in ignorance by
the cabinet Of what was going on, and
had to sanction the sentence upon
Dreyfus, despite the kaiser's word of
honor, he decided to resign the presi-
dencv and seized the first occasion,
which occurred, namely the overthrow
OF the DupuY cabinet.
The Gaulois. says it was in order to
avert grave consequences arising from
Emperor William having given his
word of honor that the courtmartial
was held with closed doors and certain
documents, in accordance with the re-
quest of the emperor, were not pro-
duced at the trial.

WOMEN VOTED IN 1907.
Some of Them Cast Seven or Eight
Ballots Apiece.

New York Journal: Newark. N. J.,
appears to have the honor of being
the first city in the United States to
extend the right of suffrage to the fair
sex. Very few of the advocates of
Women's right to vote are aware of
this interesting fact. The experiment
took place as far back as 1907, when
the present gray-haired leaders of the
rights of women were yet unborn.
There had not yet arisen a Susan B.
Anthony to champion the cause of her
sex, but nevertheless women were then
allowed a privilege which even at the
last New Jersey election a large ma
jority of the heartleSs male voters re-
fused them.
In sallantry as well as fair play to
womankind. therefore, the Jerseymen
who lived in the early part of the 18th
century eXcelled those who are living
in the last few years of it.
A record of this event is to be found
in Thomas T. GordOns History and
Gazetteer of New Jersey, published at
Trenton by Daniel Fenton in 1884. The
narrative is not as full as such an in
tere5ting occurrence warranted. His
torian Gordon did not realize what a
struggle women, ere the close of the
Gentry, would make for what they
claim to be their rights, or doubtless
he would have given a more elaborate
account. Here is what he says:
can election in 1907 for determining
the location of the court house. is still
remembered by the inhabitants as the
most exciting recorded in their annals.
! The contest was between Newark and
Days Hill. BY a construction given to
the state constitution, the women were
then suffered to vote, and they seem to
have been so delighted with this priv
ilege of exercising their wills, that
they were unwilling to circumscribe it
within the legal limit, many ladies yot-
ing, we a-e told. seven or eight times
under various DISCUSSES.
And that's all the provoking Gordon
has to say about it. Days Hill, New
ark's court house rival-wonder what
has become of it? Even as early as
| 1884, when the record of this contest
was made public, Days Hill no longer
had place in the Gazetteer. nor on
the accompanying map, and yet in 1897
| it must have been of some Importance
/ or it would not have put up such a
| fight with Newark to get the court
| house.
! The wholesale repeating by so many
those who had construed the state con-
stitutiOn in their favor that no similar
J construction was afterward made of
| it If the ladies had been content with
voting once onIy in that court house
matter, who can say whether the right
of suffrage, at least so far as Newark
is concerned. would not have continued
ever since to be exercised by them?

How the Referendum Works.

A Chicago man who visited Switzer-
land during the past summer asked ex-
President Freye how the Referendum is
working in the mountain republic. He
replied that when a great question is
brought forward the people feel a deep
interest in it, go to the polls and vote,
and they always vote right. but that.
when the matter is of comparatively
little consequence they do not wake
up ard go to the polls. He told me
of one farmer named Bauer who had
eccentric ideas of the franchise. Bauer
said he was accustomed for a Ions
time always to vote no, but recently
he had invariably voted yes, and since
then he had had much better luck with
his cattle"

garian delegations, when making an
appeal to all Europe to take advantage
OF the present era. of peace and to join
closely for the vigorous defense of con-
dltions common to European countries
as against THE crushing competition of
transatlantic nations" SAID:
: turning point has been reached in
European development which calls for
the unremitting attention of govern
ments. The great problems of mate
rial damage which become more press
ing every year are no longer matters
for the future but require to be taken
IN hand instantly. The destructive
competition which transatlantic coun-
tries are carrying on in part at present
and which IS in part to be expected
in the immediate future, requires
prompt and thorough counteracting
measures if the vital interests of the
peoples of Europe are not to be grave
" compromised.
eve must fight shoulder to shoulder
against a common danger and arm
ourselves for the struggle with all the
means 81 our disposal.
Just as the 10Th and 18th centuries
were absorbed by religious wars; just
as the 18th century was marked by the
triumph of liberal ideas, and just as
the 18th century has been notable for
the appearance of great questions of
nationality, so will the goth century be
for Europe a period marked by a strug-
gle for existence in the politic-com-
mercial sphere. European nations
must close ranks in order to success
fully defend their existence.
May this be realized everywhere,
and may tine epoch of peaceful develop
ment we now confidently anticipate be

devoting our services chiefly to this
end

has excited the most widespread inter-
est here. It is believed that before he
made public so remarkable an enuncia-
ton OF policy, he had the consent Of the
other powers. with the exception of
England, and spoke as the mouthpiece
of those governments.
The Vienna correspondent of the Dali
ly Chronicle says:
Count Goluchowski's appeal to Eu-

tonic desire than as a. concrete pro-

Sans Guards.
Last evening about $50 Madame
Hermann was returning from JuareZ
and when she reached this end of the
bridge, the inspector, VIM. Caples, &C.
costed her to find out if she had any
dutiable goods. Failing to answer
satisfactorily the Inspector be-
came suspicious and found she had
forty yards of fine silk in bundle.
The inspector Immediately contiscated
the silk aud carried it to the custom
house. The silk proved to be three
pieces of very fine silk goods that
Madame Hermann uses in her fire
dane es on the stage. Their colors
were lavender, pink and orange.
Madame Hermann was not arrested
as she ella med to have only paid 50 for
the goods in Juarez She offered to
pay the duties after the silk had b; en-
seized, but this the customs officers
could not permit SO the three pieces of
silk will lie in the custom house until
an order Of sale is made.
Madam Hermann and Leon Hermann
called at the custom house this morn
ing to square themselves Tits they
did to the satisfaction of the cole ct0r,
out their silk rema ms there still.
A good deal of comment has been
made on the streets today over the
seizure and all kinds of reports were
circulated.
