White Rock Dots.

Jno. NJ. Eleazer, one of Lexing-
ton county's most substantial citizen,
has crossed over the mystic river Of
death. The end came on the even
ing of September 2ud. He had
passed just little beyond the 62nd
mile stone. His, was a life Of useful
activity. He was at the head Of
many good and praiseworthy enter
prises. The little community Of
Spring Hill, in which his life was
spent, looked to him as a father. In
his death, the community has lost a
good and obliging citizen; the church,
faithful supporter and fervent
Christian; the family, a kind and
loving head. For many years, he
suffered from consumption: He had
lust returned from visit to his
sister in Tennessee, wither he had
gone with the hopes of improving
his condition. The end found him
ready, and his mortal remains now
lie in the graveyard of the church Of
which he was charter officer He
will be missed.
Mr.. J. J. Eargle is having a dwell
ing built at White Rock. Less than
one year ago, he opened a black.
smith shop at that place, and has
succeeded so we'll that he has decided
to locate there permanently.
Mrs. DR.. A. J. P. Julian is on a
visit to her sister, Mrs. S. G. Ballen-
tine, at White Rock. She will re-
turn in a few da;s to her home in
Lake City, Fla.

Another Ex-Confederate Gone.

One by one the men who made
the history of this State to shine
with unparalleled glory and un-
dimmed splendor by deeds Of un,
equaled bravery and dashing daring,
are crossing over the silent river and
pitching their tents IN the bivouac OF
the dead. Scarcely week passes
but what it is our sad and mournful
duty to chronicle the passing of some
gray haired Confederate Veteran to
that bourne from whence no traveller
returns.
1t is sorrowful duty at the best;
but when we are called upon to drop
a tribute of respect to the memory
of one who in life was friend and a
brother in arms, the duty becomes
doubly painful. J. NJ. Eleazer is no
more, having fought his last great
battle and fallen a victim to the last
enemy-Death-at his home on the
evening Of the 2ud Of September, in
the 63rd year of his age. We who
knew him in the prime of bis young
manhood can attest to his worth as a
man, Christian and a soldier, and
to how faithfully he discharged every
duty that crossed his pathway, en-
during with patience and fortitude
and with accomplishing resignation
the hardships and privations incident
to a Confederate soldiers life during
those days which tried mems souls.
At home he was kind hearted and
indu]gent. His hospitable doors
were ever open to his friends and
to those who claimed his hospitality.
AS neighbor be was thoughtful of the
comfort and pleasure of others. Be-
ing of a genial and warm hearted
temperament he used the gifts Of
this life for the enjoyment Of himself
and those with whom he came in
contact. As a Christian be was
devout and circumspect, counting all
things lost save Jesus CHRIST and
him cruci6ed. As citizen, he was
enterprising and progressive and
always took an active and leading
part in every movement whic h looked
to the upbuilding of the moral, social
and fnanci,l interests of his county.
But the seeds of that terrible dis
ease consumption, were sown in his
body and through all of his suffer
ings be was gentle and complained
not, patiently waiting upon the pleas
ure Of the Lord to call him up
higher. With bowed head we ex-
claim "lot my will, but thine be done

Executive Of the nation is 5o years OF

Telegrams of congratulation poured

CHARLES WALTER WILEY.
Wealthy Young San franciscan
Found Dead in Bed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29.-Charles
Walter Wiley, who recently was de-
clared by the Probate Court heir to his
fathers estate, valued at S125 600, was
found dead in bed this morning at I145
Mission street, death having been caused
by deadly Illuminating gas. Whether
Wiley committed suicide or death was
caused by accident may never be known,
but the Coroner is of the opinion that
Wiley met his death through accident.
He was the only son of the capitalist,
Amasa p. Wiley, and, though given the
benefit of a good education, he early de-
veloped a desire to lead a wild life. In
1897, when still minor, he promised 10
reform if his father would consent 20 his
marriage, and the young man led to the
altar Georgietta Stevens, a well known
society girl. The couple took up their
residence with Wiley, Sr., at 12O1 Fay
lor street, and for a short time young
Wiley was the pink of propriety.
Then his old habits once again con-
trolled him, and the wife of the young
man filed suit for divorce on the ground
of habitual intemperance. The marri-
age tie was severed in November, 1893,
and Mrs. Wiley awarded $50 per month
as alimony.
Willey's father died in February of the
same year, and disinherieted his only
child, the bulk of the estate being let in
trust to charitable institutions and dis
tant relatives.

FINISH OF BICYCLE RACE.
Elkes Leads Waller at ihe Close by
Two Yards.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 29.-The finish OF
the big seventy-two hour bicycle race
was exciting, and was desperate ef-
fort between the two leaders. Waller
and Elkes, to carry off the big end of
the purse. Elkes won by two yards,
having gone 1922 miles, six laps and
sixty yards.
Five minutes before the finish all of
the other riders left the track, giving
the two high men a clear way to fight
for the honor and money. Elkes was
in the lead, with Waller tapping his
wheel. A lively pace was set at once.
Many times Waller put on all of his
power to pass his young opponent, but
each time Elkes' reserve force proved
the better. and amid the widest kind
of enthusiasm he kept the lead to the
end.
The. final score wes: Elkes, 1.322 6.
60 yards; Waller, 1926. IS yards
Schinneer, 1.314.6; Hale, 1.311S; Wal
ters, 1.309.11 Dench, 1,129; Cannon,
/, 1852; Ruckell. lilo; Henshaw, S7S.
The race is said by experts TO have
been one of the best of its kind on rec
ord, and barring the rather small at
tendance during the week, was sue
cess in every way. The record made
by Waller last year, ,221 miles and 3
laps, was passed by five of the riders
at 6:1S p. m. The crowd in attendance
tonight completely filed the large hall.

Many Notable Persons Present
Among Whom Was the Presi-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The Grid

custom in the past, furnished one Of
the most unique entertainments of the
season. Distinguished guests We're
present from all parts of the world as
we'll as men prominent in public life
from all parts of the United States.
The large banquet hall of the Airing
ton was superbly decorated, and the
table was a bed of rich and fragrant
flowers. The scene was a marvel CT
brilliancy, for added to the electric
light effects amidst the ferns and ever
greens, the colors of the nations rep
resented at the dinner were interspers-
ed The menu was a souvenir gotten
up With special reference to the thir-
teenth annual dinner, and in which the

its supposed fatal effect.
Frank H. Hosford, President of the
Club. was exceedingly happy in his in.
Productions of the speakers, and kept
the entertaining features moving with
vim. The speeches We're short and
witty, in keeping with the OCCASION
The features were spectacular and
brilliant and of a kind peculiar to those
dinners.
A tribe of Indians in full war dress
swooped in and scalped George Dan
iels and George w. Bird, who have been
active in presenting the anti-scalping
bin before Congress. The civil service
question was settled in the spirited
contest, in which Senator Lodge and
Representative Grosvenor were per-
sonated by athletic young men, the re-
suit being that the reformer got the
