a New Comet.

Prof. Edgar Frisbie, of the Naval
Observatory, is engaged in computing
the orbit Of a new comet. Il was first
seen by Prof. w. r. Brooks, of Gene
va, N. Y, Thursday of last week.
Prof. Frisbie says that he has made
three observations, and the comet is
wonderfully bright and moving with
great velocity, proving, in his opinion,
that it is unusually near the earth. 1T
appears to be large, round body, :"
says Prof. Frisbie, ''and has moved
over nine degrees in four days, going
south and increasing its right ascention
continually. 1t was first seen about
ten degrees south of the principal star
of the constellation Draco, not far from
the second star Of the Great Diper. 1t
has moved steadily towards the contel-
lation of Hercules, and is now passing
through it. The comet is seen to the
best advantage just after sundown or
just before sunrise, as it is then closer
to the earth. 1t is fully three degrees
in diameter, and particularly interest
ing on account of its brightness and the
great rapidity with which it is moving
through the heavens From the pres
ent outlook of its course, it will proba-
bly, be visible to the naked eye in a
few days. The northern heavens will
then be brilliantly lighted and the visl-
Bile movement of the comet will present
a startling effect.

\ highway robbery was committed on
the road leading from Lockhart to Mt.
Tabor, in Union county, Wednesday
evening about dark. The victim was
MIR. John H. Inman, prominent farm
er Of the Mt. Tabor community. Mr..
Inman was returning; from Lockhart,

When within mile Of his father
home he was attacked by three men,
two Negroes and white man, who
knocked him senseless and distracted
from his pocket S2l9 in cash, the pro-
ceeds of his cotton. Mr.. lnman was
left lying in the road until about $50
o'clock, when he was found by two
Negroes who passed along that way.
These Negroes had a buggy brought up
and carried Mr.. Inman home. Search
was immediately instituted for the
guilty parties, aud Wednesday Wade
,Jeter, a notorious Negro, was arrested
and lodged in jail. The other two are
spotted and their capture is only a mat
ter Of time.

FORTUNE TELLER KILLED HER
Girl Frightened to Death by Pre-
diction From Tea Leaves.

In the sudden and still uncA ,lained
death of Letitia NJ. Hall at Wolcctt, y.
y, the Society for Psychical Research
has ample field for investigation. The
case is nine days wonder throughout
Eastern Wayne county, though all the
facts are still far from being generally
| known
Miss Hall was 10 years old and the
daughter of Hamilton Hall. a West
Butler farmer living about + miles
southwest of this village. She was the
youngest of several girls, petite, vlvaci-
Gus and pretty. Socially she was popu-
lar, being generally known among the
people by the quizzical nickname of
Miss Seyen-for-a-Cent," owing to her
diminutive stature, which was under D
feet. Throughout her childhood Miss
Hall was of marked nourotic tempera-
ment being subject to prolonged fits OF
the blues, with spasms. fainting
spells and other symptoms Of acute ner
vousness, but in recent years she had
been entirely free from such attacks.
Hel parents and friends had not the
slightest doubt that her health was
completely restored.
\ week ago she accompanied Seward
Thorn to this village and remained over
night as the guest of his sister, Josie,
and the following morning, as youth
full prank. the three decided to visit
Madame Herter, the Roose scores a
woman famous throughout Western
New York, and have their fortunes
told.
In the highest spirits they drove tc
Mrs. Herter's home and were speedily
closeted with her Her particular
method Of consulting the occult is by
inspecting the grounds left from cup
of tea, whirl Of the inverted cup SUI
icing for each Questioner. Miss
Thorn's fortune was commonplace and
increased the hilarity ofthe young peo-
pie, but when Miss Halls turn came
the old witch hesitated, consulted the
cup second time and then called the
girl aside to an adjacent room, her face
being .rlve, even awe-stricken, while
Miss Hall laughed lightly.
When they returned moment later.
however, the laugh had disappeared,
and the girl appeared frightened. She
begged her companions to leave the
house at once, and they, vainly trying
10 rally her spirits, complied.
Once upon the road, after much urg-
ing, Miss Hall told them that Mrs.
Herter, with due solemnity, even with
tears, had Informed her that she had
not three days more to live. So deep
an impression had this made upon the
girls mind that. she shuddeled, seem
ing convinced Of the absolute truth Of
the alleged prophecy.
The three attended church on Sun
day evening, and Immediately after the
service Miss Hail became i'll and
spasms followed. She soon died and
the doctors report that her death re-
suited from paralysis caused by fright.

A Terrible Record.

A special from Gloucester, Mass,
says: The past season has been very
severe on the fishing feet. The reck.
oning for the year is IA vessels total
loss, 81 men drowned in the pursuit OF
the fisheries, % wives widowed and 80
children made orphans. The loss will
approximate 100000. The terrible
gales which ragged on the banks during
October, 1897, are undoubtedly respon.
sible for the loss Of three vessels and
their entire crew, while the series OF
gales which prevailed during the win
ter also brought the fate Of many a
Gloucester fisherman.

IT WILL NOT WORK.
What Some Of them Think of the
Philippine.

The Spartanburg Herald says it looks
now as if the Presidents plan Of buy
ing the Philippine will strike rock in
the United States Senate. Its by no
means certain that a treaty which in
wolves the assumption Of Spanish debts
or the payment Of indemnity to Spain
will pass the Senate, as it must to be
operative. Quite number of Senators
have already spoken. The plan is op-
posed by Democrats and Republicans
alike. Senator Tillman is quoted as
follows:
TRENTON, S. c., Oct. 81.
am opposed to paying any sum OF
money to Spain for the Philippines and
equally opposed to holding them as
conquered territory. But it we demand
their cession We should not assume any
debts on that account, aad we could
then sell them to help pay the expenses
OF the war. 3. R. Tillman.
This is the true Democratic position,
true Americanism. The idea of buying
1SlduOS LII IuS ldl SdoG ID dull-AeC pOUiL-
can and foreign to the established policy
Of the government. Senator Hale, Re-
publican Senator from Maine, is even
more emphatic against the Presidents
scheme than the South Carolinian. He
says:
II would not take the Philippines if
Spain would give US $4,000, 700 with
them. The sooner we drop them the
better. Eugene Hale.
When the true inwardness OF the
transaction is known, when it becomes
clear that large quantities of bogus
bonds alleged to have been issued for
'betterments' and included in the
Presidents offer, have been bought by
an American syndicate in close touch
with the President, it will be found
that this Philippine deal is hot potato
to be speedily dropped.
Public opinion should stand firm
Lobbyists will be found hanging around
the capitol buying-here and there a
Senator, but let us hope that the major
ity are still unpurchasable.

a TRAVELLING POsTOFFICE.
Mail Wagon to Collect and Deliver
Letters on Thirty Mile Route.

The postofice department decided
Wednesday to make new experiment
in the rural free delivery system,
which is, in effect, the establishment of
travelling postofhce Some time ago
resident Of Westminster, Md. wrote
to the department offering to build such
postofice, to be drawn by two horses,
and to establish a system between
Westminster and the surrounding
villages, covering distance Of thirty
miles, for 81 ,375 a year. The plan was
accepted Wednesday.
The wagon will be similar to the
postofice wagons in use in the cities
The postman will start from Westmin-
lister in the morniEg and visit number
Of small towns in the vicinity collec-
ting and delivering mail en- route. Any
farmer living within two miles Of the
road along which the wagon passes will
be allowed to place letter box at the
roadside, in which his mail can be de-
posted by the carrier, and from which
the carrier VIII take the out going
mail.
At several small places where there
is no postofice number of boxes will
be put up, which will practically form
an automatic postofice. The inventor
of the scheme Will act as postmaster,
and will sell stamps, money orders, etc,
stamp letters and assert them for the
IL
ing he will assert the mail for delivery
and, when returning he will prepare it
to be placed on the train. He expects
to barely make expenses. but the gov
ernment will pay him royalty on all
similar wagons should the scheme be
put in general operation. 1t is believ-
I ed that by this mothod much more
work can be done than by single car
rier.
