Last December. Returns to His
Home.

Columbia. s c.. March 12-The mys-
terry of the disappearance of the Rev.
William Aiken Kelly from this State on
the Goth of last December has been
cleared up by the return of the missing
minister.
The Rev. Mr. Kelly is a prominent di-
vine. who is prominently known in the
South Carolina Methodist Conference.
Before his disappearance be had been
very much worried by a failure to Sc
cure relief from his financial troubles.
All efforts to find him were in vain.
and his family and friends despaired of
ever hearing from him again. believing
that he had committed suicide About ten
days ago the first intimation that he was
alive came from New Orleans asking for
money on which to return home. 1t
was sent him, and yesterday he arrived
in Sumter
The only statement he has made so
far is that he has no knowledge of leav-
ing Charleston or when or how he got
to New Orleans; that his mind was a
complete blank, and when he came to
himself he was in stSange city with
out money and without friends.
Mr.. Kelly's financial obligations in
this city are small. and would have been
adjusted by his family had he appealed
to them. No explanation for his conduct
is given except on the ground of tenn
porary alteration of the mind Since
his return he complains of weakness

THE PALMIST'S REVENGE.
How Laska Turned the Tables on
an Irascib1e Scoffer who An
nOyed Him.

The latest adept in palmistry to ex-
cite attention in New York is young
man named Laska, who is said to have
created Juror in certain cultured cir
Giles. Laska is an interesting character,
and by no means unknown in New Or
leans, says the Times-Democrat. He
stayed several weeks in this city few
years ago and gave numerous private
exhibitions of his skill, at one of which
a little incident occurred which is re-
called with much amusement by every
body who witnessed it. Among those
present on the occasion referred to was
"A gentleman who regarded palmistry
as an out-andout humbug and took no
pains to conceal his opinion. His COM
ments as the hand reading proceeded
were uncomfortably candid, and it was
easy to see that Laska was having diff
| Guilty in holding his temper in leash
His black eyes blazed, but he made no
retort, and finally toward the close of
the evening somebody proposed that he
try his powers on the skeptic
The gentleman was rather reluctant.
but he finally allowed himself to be per-
suaded and stepped forward with out
stretched hand Laska glanced at the
open palm, and an expression of
mingled horror and pity overspread his
mobile face. For the first time he
seemed to lose his self-control, and in
apparently deep agitation he SIAM
mered out: II would rather read this
hand in private"
The effect which the announcement
produced may be imagined, and the
party broke up amid much embarrass-
ment. The skeptical gentleman was
extremely indignant, but Laska de-
parted smiling quietly TO himself. He
had had his revenge.

in the near future; in fact, on
many of them, if not all, work is now
being pushed. The empire north OF
Peking will be gridironed with roads
as a result of Russian influence in that
portion, and who are seeking an out
let for their Siberian road nj harbors
which are open the year round. The
roads for which the Americans Mold
concessions will undoubtedly be fin.
ished as soon as possible. for that is the
American method, while it behooves
England to push the construction OF
roads in the territory dominated by
her for trade, rs we'll as for political
reasons. In fact, it would seem that
everything was working for the speedy
awakening of this Asiatic giant, which
nothing but war can retard.
Among the many concessions which
are held by nations and individuals that
do not give promise of so speedy a com
pletion, the most important is that held
by France for the construction of line
from Laokai, on the Red river, to the
capital of the province of lloonan. An
other is the long-talked-of Burma Chi
nese railway, for which many routes
have been suggested. Should the Eng
fish government become interested in
this great project il would no doubt be
realized, for it would bring China and
India into daily communication. and
would undoubtedly give England a
stronger hold than ever on southern
China. Both Italy and Germany also
hold concessions for railway projects
in China, but none of them have evil
denced any disposition to avail them
selves of the privileges which the con.
cessions grant.

CAKE WALKERS.
Place In Chicago Where Good Ones
Are Turned Out Every
Day.

1t may not be generally known that
Chicago has factory for the pro-
duction of cake walkers, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. No machinery is used,
the output being the resultorather of
circumstances In one of the State
street restaurants, which is nearly half
block deep and which boasts the
longest lunch counters in the city.
about so colored men are employed
as walters, and they all wear white uni
forms we'll stained by the drippings
from pies and the slop-over from
liquids. About $3.50 o'clock each after
noon the men take their lunch. They
all form in line in the rear of the res
saurant and march in single file down
to the front of the room around the
principal counter, countermarch down
the other side and sit at a counter pro
vided for them. The feature of the
march is rhe cake walk swing. which
| most of the men practice, and it is no
unusual thing for those whom they
pass to overhear such remarks as:
Get dat cake walk move right"
Say, man, you'd never win no cake
with that walk on YOU"
If was gal and you walked with
me like that | sure would pull a razor
on YOU" etc.
Some of the men are said TO be the
most expert cake walkers in the city.

affected by Chinese superstition OF this
kind.
Another concession is for road from
Tangku. at the mouth of the Pei-ho
river, to New Chang, at the head OF the
Gulf of Pechili. A portion OF this road
is also now in operation from 1angku
through Tien-Tsin to Shan-Hai-
and with another line running from
Tien-Tsin to Peking. The road to Shan
Hai-Kuan was first built by LII hung
Chang and operated by horses IN con-
nection with coal mines belonging to
him at that point, but the horses were
replaced by steam some ten years ago.
When this line is completed 1t is in

Arthur northward to connect with the
Siberian road, and thus a continuous
line of rails will connect st. Petersburg

years, caused blockade in Fourteenth
street that lasted the greater part of
the day. The thing would eat into the
snow up to the hubs and stop. Then
il would back, stand on its hind wheels
and whizz in the air 1t seemed TO have
life and the voluntary power of resist
ance. Long lines of vehicles reached
out on the east and west, and their
drivers "guyed' the poor motorman
nearly to death.
