A Smart Young Trader.

There was once worthy Presby-
terian minister, who, while sitting in
his study, was interrupted by small
boy who had by some way or other
gained admission, to sell the good
man some young pups.
Il don't want any dogs, my boy"
said the divine.
but they are Presbyterian pups"
persisted the youngster.
The old gentleman, however, would
not have them and the disappointed
boy withdrew.
Some days afterward while visit
ing a friend, who was a Uni7ersalist,
the minister was astonished to see
the same boy come in and offer to
sell his friend some pups.
GOOD Universalist pups" said the
chap.
This was too much for the Domi-
ME, who said to the-boy:
'Are you not the same boy that
tried to sell me these pups the other
day."
"Yes, sir"
"And did you not tell me then
that they were Presbyterian pups'"
s'Yes, sir"
"Then how can they be Universe
list pups, nows"
because they have had their eyes
opened since then," said the little
chap. It is needless to add that he
sold the pups.

The Authority On Fashion.

The May Number of The Delinea-
tor is called the Commencement
Number, and in addition to afording
clear prospect of the whole field Of
fashion, treats very fully with illus
tration and description Of appropriate
gowning for commencement and
graduation wear. The literary fea-
lures are thoroughly enjoyable, and
the household and social discussions
crisp and piquant. A strong, dra-
matte story of woman's self-sacri6ce
is Beaver Lights, by Mary Hartwell
Catherwood, q tale reminiscent of the
early days Of Mormonism. A lively
entertainment is outlined in A Slip
Hunt, by J. Gastine Randolph. The
Delineator is published by the But

OBITUARY.

It is with a sad heart that We
chronicle the death of Charles David,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Wade Weed,
which occurred at their home near
Irmo, S. G., March 20, ult. Charley
was 20 years of age. Being in the
prime of young manhood, he was a
source of great comfort to his pc
rents.
Just two months ago we laid 10
rest, Mamie, the only sister of tie
deceased.
He was i'll four weeks with typhoid
fever. In his last days he was a
sufferer, but be bore his sickness as
a true child of God. He knew
whom he had believed and was pur-
suaded that He was able to keep that
which he had committed to Him
against that day."
March the 21st we laid all that was
mortal of him to rest in the Union
cemetery to await the resurrection
morn.
His sun is set, his race though
short is ended, the warfare is fought,
the victory achieved, the conflict
gained and he has received crown
of righteousness that shall never fade
away.
May the God Of grace and com
fort sustain and bless the bereaved
ones, and may they so live as to meet
with him on the other shore, where
there will be no more separation.
Let us be patient! These severe affections,
Not from the ground arise,
But often times celestial b-nediction;
Assun e this dark disguise.
We see but dimly through the miss ;nA
vapors,
Amid these earthly damps:
What seem t. US but sad, funeral tapers,
May be heavens distant lamps.
There is no death. What seems so is
transition,
This lite Of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life Il sin:
whose portal We call death.

Music Kills a Filly.

Music caused the death of beau
tiful three-year-old flly at Florence,
Ala, the other day. A farmer drove
the valuable young mare into town,
and as he was driving up the princi-
pal street a brass band suddenly
struck up it's blatent music. The
mare had never heard any sound like
that before, and so startled was she
that she dropped dead in the shafts
of the trap. A veterinary surgeon
who examined the carcass declared
that the mare had died of heart fail
ure, due to excitement caused by the
sound of the unaccnstomed music of
a brass band.

Greater Brookland.
Our Ambitious Suburb to Extend
Its Limits.


Its Limits.
Columbia Daily Record.
The town of Brookland is growing
rapidly and is ambitious. 1t wants
to include within the corporate limits
the surrounding country which will
materially increase its population.
It is said to be about 1,1OO now, but
when the annexed district comes in
it will be about 1900.
A meeting was held Thursday
night for the purpose of taking the
necessary steps to extend the limits.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to prescribe the lines and
take the necessary legal steps to &C.
quire the new territory: W. H.
Witt, W. D: Dent, W. T. Floyd, j.
G. K,rby, Rev. E. L. Lybrand, E. f.
Haygood. Mr.. Brooks Lybrand and
". D. Dent will begin to take a
census of the town Friday. While
thus extending its limits the people
want better connections with Colum-
bia and they will see if the scheme
of extending the electric railway to
the town can soon be made fact
A company has had charter for the
purpose for several years, but moth
ing has come of it so far.

Strange Disappearance.

Nobody Knows What Became OF our
Missing Sailors-Whetber Sunk,
Captured or Rescued by the Span
iards.
Manila, April 19-Admiral Dewey
has been notified of the strange dis
appearance of Lieut.. j. G. Gilmore
and fourteen members Of the crew OF
the United States gunboat Yorktown.
On Saturday last the Yorktown an
chored off Baler, on the east coast OF
the island of Luzon, and about 200
miles from here, where there was q
Spanish garrison Of about so men
which had been defending itself
against several hundred Philippine
insurgents for months past. Lieut..
Gilmore's Ensign W. H. Handley and
the boats crew were sent up the
river from Baler to communicate
with the spaniards, the town OF
Baler being situated some distance
inland.
Ensign Handley, who landed at
the mouth of the river, reports that
be heard three volleye, bugal call
and cheers from up the river, but
that the automatic gun which was
part of the equipment OF the boat
was not heard firing. Handley later
padded to the Yorktown in cance.
Search was made for the York
towns boat and her crew but no
trace of them was found and the
Yorktown sailed for Iloilo from which
place her commander cabled to Ad-
miral Dewey. His theory is that the
Fllipinos had captured or sunk the
boat or that the Spaniards had res
cued the American party.

Call for More Troops.
NO.. ~

Fourteen Thousand Regulars for
Manila, to Relieve the Volunteer
Troops, Will be Hurried There as
Fast as Possible.
Washington, April 20-Gen. Otis
call for more troops will be promptly
answered. As soon as marine trans
portation can be secured fourteen
thousand regulars will be hurried to
Manila.
This means virtual cleaning out
of garrisons of batteries along the
Atlantic seaboard, now in the hands
of the Seventh Artillery. The coast
will be left in the hands of detach-
ments, but new recruits will be mus
tered in and instructed to go to the
seaboard, not now imperilled, so th;
it will not be altogether unprotected.
Secretary Alger received a reply
from Otis to his inquiry yesterday
whether reinforcements of fourteen
thousand regulars which it is pro
posed to send to relieve the volun
teers will be sufficient for the purpose
of the campaign. Otis replies in the
in the affirmative. He estimates that
thirty thousand should constitute the
army. The programme for the
movement of troops will be carried
out, therefore, according to Otis
statement. Otis adds the remark
that he expects very soon to be able
to report decided improvement in
the Philippines.

Not An Easy Job.
Conquest of the Philippines Will
Require Big Army.

Conquest of the Philippines Will
Require Big Army.
New York, April 20.-Mr. T. W.
McFarlane, a member of the famous
Astor Battery, of New York city,
which recently performed such val
lent military service in the Philip
pines, relates some interesting iDfor-
nation regarding the situation in
those islands.
ssThe American forces in the Phil
ippines now number about $4,000"
said MIR. McFarlane; 'out, in my
opinion, it will take at least 100000
or more to subdue the Flipinos and
hold the islands until final peace is
brought about and business is re-
stored to It's normal condition.
with the present American force
there it will be an impossibility to
defeat the Flipinos. The reason OF
tisis that the insurgents have en-
t;rely too much territory in their
rear to fall back upon when pursued
by the Americans. the latter not hav-
ing q sufficient force to leave behind to
garrison the ground gained. There
are at least 100000 native fighting
men on the island of Luzon. With
this force it can easily be seen that
while the Fllipinos are being pur-
sued they can dispatch a large por
ton of tteir troops to the rear OF the
Americans to attack the small forces
of our men left to guard the captured
territory. The Americans must in.
crease their forces. Unless they do
SO they cannot advance much further,
and the result will be that the war
will soon be temporarily suspended.
'After the Fllipinos have been
subdued there will be great oppor-
tunisy for the investment of Ameri-
can capital in the islands. Money
can be ventured in all the various
business occupations in the island
with what, I believe, will be great
profit. There will be absolutely no
chance for the American laborer
there, however, for the reason that
Filipino workingmen can be hired
for 10 and IL cents day"

First Prayer in Congress.

In Thatcher's Military Journal, un-
der date of December 1777, is found
a note containing the identical ''6rst
PRAYER in Congress made by the
Rev. Jacob Dutche, a gentleman OF
great eloquence. Here it is, a hister
ical curiosity:
"OLord, our Heavenly Father, high
and mighty, King of Kings, and Lord
of Lords, who dost from Thy throne
behold all the dwellers On the earth,
and reignest with power supreme and
uncontrolled over all kingdoms, en-

mercy, we beseech Thee, on these
American States, who have fed to
Thee from the rod Of the oppressor,
and thrown themselves on Thy gra-
cious protection, desiring to be hence
forth dependent only on Thee; to
Thee they have appealed for the
Righteousness of their cause; to Thee
do they now look up for that counte-
nance and suppor which Thou alone
canst give; take them, therefore,
Heavenly Father, under thy nurtu-
ing care; give them wisdom IN coun'
sci and valor in field; defeat the mali
c:ols designs of our cruel adversaries
convince them Of the unrigh eousness
of their cause: and If they still persist
in their sanguinary purposes O' the
voice of Thy unerriDg justice, sound

A Brides Confusion.

In New York recently, something
unexpected happened in East
Twenty-eigth street, around the
corner from Madison avenue. There
was a quiet parlor wedding at the
house of physician-a we'll known
doctor, and about 20 friends we're
present to witness the ceremony.
The bride was the physicians 49,
year-old daughter, and the groom
was the son of a Brooklyn brewer.
There was to be honeymoon trip
after the marriage, and the mother
of the bride, with true maternal
foresight, had put French travel
ing clock in her daughters pocket.
It was little bit of a clock. Some,
how it got wound up wrong. As the
couple stood up with the minister
under the floral bell a.hush fell on
the small assemblage, and the hush
deepened as they knelt on velvet
cushion while the preacher prayed.

preacher opened one eye inquiringly,
but quickly closed it again as he saw

him over his spectacles from the
corner of the room. "Ob, Lord"
