SPARROWS IN GREAT LUCK

Favored by a Happy Combination of
Circumstances in Union Square.
From the New York Sun: People
stopped the other day to look at the
sparrows bathing in the fountain in
Union square. The spraying jets rise
from pipes that come through a round
ed polished stone that stands In the
center Of the basin. The sparrows
would fly across the intervening water
and stand on the wet, dripping stone
and let the spray from the fountain
jets fall upon them. One sparrow
darted headlong through the jets, but
pretty we'll up, where they began to
spread out pretty we'll into spray. In
the basin there were three or four
scattered patches of the leaves of some
water plant, the leaves Of each bunch
lying close together, but each leaf ly-
ing fiat upon the water. The spar
rows would stand upon these leaves
and dip their beaks down into the wa
ter between them to drink. Some of
the sparrows were at first inclined to
doubt whether the leaves would hold
them up. They swept out from the
stone rim of the fountain, close to the
surface of the water, intending to
alight on a leaf in one of the leaf
islands, but, instead, they swept right
on over it and around to the stone rim
again. But they saw other birds stand
ing on the leaves and presently they
tried 1t themselves, and it may have
been a shock to their vanity, but the
leaves held them up easily. The flow
ering plants that a little while ago
were blooming in the circular garden
strip between the inner and outer rim
Of the fountain had all been taken up
and the lawn dug over and smoothed,
and in it's powdery, dusty surface the
sparrows would settle down and weave
about and ruffle their wings with de-
light. Then they would stand on the
inner edge OF the inner stone rim Of
the fountain and bend over and take
drink out Of the basin, or fly TO a leaf
or to the stone at the center, under the
spray. And it was ali the tallest kind
OF fun for the sparrows.

slant-eyed Chinese armed with wash

general entered the suite which had
been provided at the Palace hotel he
found that important business awaited
attention. He desired to discuss affairs

not particularly need washing, but the
yellow fellow was there under orders,
and he proposed to finish the job. The
general asked him to take his suds and
go. "Me no sabee," replied the saffron
son of toll, splashing more water on.
The general argued, but 1t was useless.
He scolded and harangued, but to no
effect. Affairs of state might wait, but
the Chinese was bent on cleaning the
windows He looked mildly at the
general and dipped anew into the suds.
''Me no sabee," was all he said. The

The Triumph of Truck Loads, and the
Most Curious Load of AL

Most Curious Load of AL
From the New York Sun: THE
handsomest commercial package that
goes through the streets according to
my notion" said Mr.. Biff1eby, is the
bale Of hops. A truck load Of hop bales
is a load that is gratifying to the eye.
The queerest load carried through the
streets is one that has appeared only
within very few years, and that Is the
load seen in the peculiar deep cart of
the street cleaning department that is
used for the carrying Of waste paper and
other household refuse. There may be
seen in these curious carts paper, loose
and IN rolls, old baskets and barrels,
and other truck, and, it may be, a
lounge sticking up at the back of the
cart, or the load may be topped of, per-
haps, with the headboard and footboard
of bed. 1t is something as different as
possible from the trim load of hop
Bales, and it is interesting also as IL
Illustrative Of modern ways OF doing
things"

flict with Spain, chief interest centers
Just now in the streng tn of the militia
force of the United States, which
would be liable to be called upon in
case of necessity. The aggregate
strength of the force in each state is
yearly reported 10 the adiutant gen.
erai of the army, who in turn trans.
mits it to congress for the information
of that body. An annual appropria-
ton is made by congress for the sup
port and maintenance Of the militia
and allotted among the states accord
ing to the numerical strength of the
militia.
The latest report on the militia
strength was made to congress by
Acting Secretary of War Meikeljohn,
and was based on returns received at
the adjutant generals office for 1897.
This statement shows that the total
organized strength of the militia of the
United States is 1882 men, while
the number of men available for mill
tary duty (unorganized) of which a
report was made at the time that the
statement of the militia was sent in,
is 1O,3O1, ,339.

REV. l.. A. JOHNSON.

The Spartanburg Spartan prefaces the
sketch of Rev. l.. A. Johnson, recently
published in THE ENQUIRER, with the
following:
It gives us pleasure to give the follow
ing sketch of common, hard-worklng
preacher, who improved bis time, talents
and opportunity as few other members OF
the South Carolina conference have done.
Many preachers, in all churches, have set
out from college or seminary fully equip
ped for ministerial work so far as book
learning is concerned; but they soon
drop out of sight, or become preachers
not desired by any congregation.
There was little business transaction
that took place between Mr.. johnson and
a blacksmith at Limestone Springs when
he came to that circuit. His horse needed
shoeing. He went to blacksmith shop
and told the proprietor what he wanted.
Having very little money and the circuit
not being a Klondike, he asked what the
cost would be, for poor as he was be did
not want to go in debt. The blacksmith,
knowing him to be the new preacher,
said: "Well, I will do you like do
Brother Bonner. Will not charge you
but take it out in preaching" MIR. John
son replied at once:
"Thats not my way of doing business.
I pay for what I get, and it is your duty
to pay your preacher, whoever he may
be, for his services" That little incident
showed the character of the man. The
ghosts of unpaid bills never followed him
when he left a circuit. Unsettled ac-
counts will not rise up in Judgment to
condemn him.

AS TO WAR SERVICE.

The fact that Il great many people are
now volunteering for service in the eN-
pcctcd war with Spain, most OF them, by
the way, looking for soft snaps, suggests
the fact that there are no doubt others
who have no desire to go, and, further,
that the general public, especially the
younger portion of it, has hut little int"r-
nation about such matters.
Upon II call for volunteers to clean up
the Mexicans back in lS47, people fell
over each other to get to the front before
the war was over. The number of rolun-
teers was several times in excess Of what
was desired, and it was fixed that prefer
cncc should be given to those companies
which reported first with the most COM
plcte organizations. Thousands who were
anxious to get at the MeXicans, were dis
appointed in securing an opportunity.
When the first call was made for volun-
teers, at the beginning of the late war, the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-03-19
SPAIN WON'T PAY.
Will Claim That the Maine Was Blown Up
by Accident.

Will Claim That the Maine Was Blown Up
by Accident.
The following scmi.otficial note was
issued in Madrid on Thursday:
The report of the Spain commission
on the Maine is not yet known; but
the statement of several technical OF.
ficers, who have made a close exami,
nation of the scene of the disaster,
show it was indisputahly due to an in,
ternal accident.
American assertions to the contrary
are deplored in official quarters as
tending to mislead public opinion and
render the situation still more difficult
from the standpoint of maintaining
friendly relations between the two
countries.
1t may be regarded as certain that
should the American technical com
mission present report declaring the
disaster to be due to an external eX'
plosion, the public here will refuse to
accept such fiuding and any demand
for an indemnity based thereon will
be indignantly repelled by Spain.

ACTS LIKE A BULLET.

Although most people are familiar with
the deadly properties of strychnine, but
few have seen this peculiarly fatal poison
at work.
A case came under the observation OF
the reporter last Wednesday morning.
Night Watchman Alexander was walk
ing down street followed by his dog,
which was apparently in the best OF
health and spirits.
Unnoticed, the dog went off across the
street into backyard, and after a few
minutes came back and fell at the feet OF
its master as if it had been shot. There
were some struggles, followed by slight
twitching, until the legs began to stretch
themselves out and become rigidly fixed
like those of saw horse.
Within less than 10 minutes the dog was
dead and ready to drag off. Several OF
those who witnessed the incident said
"strychnine."
