THE Washington correspondent OF
the Savannah News reports that Sir
Thomas J. Upton has determined to
invest $500, 900 in tea culture in South
Carolina. Sir Thomas is familiar with
the soil and climatic conditions of that
state, having been at one time labor
err on rice plantation jim Georgetown
county. He is now the largest land
owner in Ceylon, and is one of the
wealthiest tea merchants in the world.
Tea has been successfully cultivated
in South Carolina. but not on q scale
large enough to offer it In the markets
of the country. This is quite a new
in the diversifcation of
crops.

PENALTIES OF THE CHAMPION

The Gentleman Who Holds 1t Gets
Invitations To Zoo Many FunC-

| It is one of the penalties of fstic

| though he may have been battered
| we'll nigh out of human shape, must
consider the Invitations of other gen.
tlemep who wish to batter him some
more and would like to do it right

ing the heavyweight champion of the

Fitzsimmons, who has tried conclu-
sions with Mr.. Je fries much to his re-
greet, has discovered that he made q
few mistakes on that occasion which
he desires to correct. Mr.. Corbett has
led such q careful life for year or
two that be thinks he is better quail

STREET CAR PASSES.

Delegate Kriz introduced a resolution
at the Trades Assembly meeting Fri
day evening, which if followed up will
return good results in more ways than
one. He proposed that the Trades AS
sembly go on record favoring Sec
ton in the new charter which will
make it a misdemeanor for any city
official to accept or use free transpor-
tation from the street railway COM
pany. This is very proper step for
the assembly to take and should be
followed to the bitter end and made
an issue in the coming campaign.
Everybody remembers the ''over and
under" attitude of the members Of the
council during the street railway
strike last spring. and it was very
evident that some of them at least
cared much more for their transpor-
tation than they did to. see that JUS
tice was done to the striking employees.
Why should any alderman or city Of
ficial accept free transportation on
the street railway? What does he do
that the company should favor him
with tickets that represent money
while the private citizen puts 'nlcfel
in the slot every time he rides. 1t is
given as a bribe and the managers of
the street railway know that they get
big returns for their investment. IT
they did not there would be precious
few passes given. There is no one
place where a little good. wholesome
agitation promises better results than
right along these lines. Wisconsin has

and fear to remember clearly afterward
how she got into the dull, cheap street,
but once there she walked slowly,
dreading unspeakably to see no light
in his window. 1t was there, however,
and sheer thankfulness made her pause
and cling giddily to the ratings.
The ladlady opening the door eau
tiously-for it was getting late-re-
membered her. and allowed her to go
upstairs unannounced. The room door
was already trifle open, so Lucy had
only to push it nOislessly a few more
inches to see John Sinclair sitting alone
by the fire. For wonder he was doing
nothing, and looking quite unlike a
man who had been recently promoted
to great prosperity. The old patient
courage was still there, having deep
foundations, but the cheerfulness which
had lightened each days toll was gone.
He sat listlessly in WEAKNESS Of spirit,
and the prematurely gray head began
ITO droop a little-nearer the earth.
Upon the shabby mantlepiece-so care
fully dusted-stood Lucy's photograph,
and in front of it, as though a shrine,
was placed tiny glass of violets. They
were fresh and fragrant and it broke
her heart to see that, like Bottles, his
love outlived her own faithlessness.
She had made as she thought no
sound, yet he turned suddenly and saw
her, and the great joy transforming his
face shamed her, for she knew herself
not worthy of his love. 1t was whole
some humbling for the woman who had
grievously erred, but indescribably bit
ter. She tried to stammer something of
this before John took her to his heart
out he would not listen. It was enough
that she had returned to him of her
own free will-nothing mattering after
that, yet his very first question, as he
placed her tenderly in his own arm
who had always shared their joy. His
delight was the only thing lacking.
where is Bootles, my darling?"
And Lucy, remembering the thin lit
tie body so wasted with fretting, burst
into a passion of grief which startled
him.
"Bootles is dead! He died today!
neglected him shamefully-but he loved
me through it ALL"
And thus John Sipclair understood
everything: he knew why she had been
silent through. months, leaving him
comfortless, but he also knew why she
had come back-that love and repen
tance had drawn her to his side to
leave him no more. 1t was easy to for
give, seeing the pain of such a sharp
lesson on her suffering face-a terribly
sharp lesson, yet so sorely needed.
Don't grieve so, my dear one! In
life he loved us dearly, and his death
has, I think-brought-u
His own voice was not steady then,
and for a time neither spoke, yet
thanksgiving was in the air.
When he had quieted her into calm
ness he showed her the ferns Of which
she had spoken when they parted.
''See, Lucy, the delicate one is now
the strongest of them all!''
They are far from rich, and Lucy
has not one silk gown. but the grace of
God is In their house, and children's
feet move blithely about it.
The writer likes to think that the di-
vine justice and mercy which allows
nothing good to be wasted or lost per-
mits: faithful little shadow to steal
sometimes into the warmth of that
hearth, where he is remembered so low
ingly still, to rejoice as Of old in their

The trades assembly has taken action
in the matter of dues which is ex-

Of the unions have ceased to send dele
gates to the trades assembly simply be-
cause these unions have gotten behind
in the matter Of dues. Some Of them
owe $40 to $50 in this way and cannot
afford to pay. 1t was resolved at the
last meeting of the assembly that all
unions in arrears may be restored to
good standing on payment Of dues for
three months. 1t is claimed that un-
der the constitution this is all they can
