Firemen Called Out by lightning.

An odd electric freak is reported from
Kingston -onThames, England. The
lightning was very vivid, and singular
effect of it was the ringing of the fire
bell at the fire station, which COM
municates with a fire alarm near the
free public library. The firemen were
hastily summoned and the horses for
the steamer arrived, but it was dis
covered in time that the alarm was
caused by the lightning. so that a
full turnout of the brigade was obvi-
ated

~HE season of the year has rolled
around again when it is neces-
sary to be on ones guard
against picnic ice cream. At a. lawn
party in Vincennes, Ind, the other
night the guests looked upon the ice
cream when it was a trifie off-colored,
and only the timely arrival of a physi-
clan saved their lives. The cans in
which the ice cream was made had
been used for the same purpose a few
days before. They had not been washed
perfectly clean and a poisonous acid
was formed, which came very near be-
ing responsible for a large number of
high-grade funerals. Ice cream makers
cannot take too great pains with their
product.

From the Buffalo Express.
Speaker Reed considers the French

ways probably would not be adapted to
the foreign assembly We are sometimes
disposed to lament the disorder in tie

on the European continent which aver

essary to withdraw the New York, an

to carry him fifteen miles for con-

This Is The Truth.

Running n newspaper, says an
exchange, is Just like running Il
hotel, only it is different. When
a man gets into hotel and finds
something on the table that he
doesn't like, he doesn't kick all
the fat into the fire and tell the
landlord to "stop his Old hotel. "
He just pushes that dish aside and
wadeS into some other brands of
eataDles. But it is different with
some newspaper readers. They
find an item they do not like and
without stopping to think that 1t
may please a whole lot Of other
people, make a grandstand play
and stop their paper. The paper
doesn't stop, but that particular
gentleman's copy fails to reach
him next week and he is sure to
sneak around and borrow his
neighbor's copy "just to see if
the paper is still published" you
know. The press still grinds on,
however, and new subscribers line
up in place of the dyspeptic, who
stopped his source of information
because a small part of it DOM
suit him.

CoRONER's JURY'S VERDICT.
Batesburg, June 21.-The cor
Oner' s inquest over the remains
of w II johnson, who was killed
here yesterday after noon, was
held here this morning. 1t seems
that some time ago johnson be
came involved In some difficulty
in Georgia and was sentenced to
the chaingang. While serving
out his sentence, he managed in
some way to escape and return to
his home at this place. Since
that time he has been working at
turpentine distillery at this
place. A warrant for his arrest
was placed in the hands of the
sheriff of Saluda county. Yester.
day afternoon the deputy sheriff
of Saluda, Clyde WhittIe, accom-
panied by the town marshal OF
Saluda, Will Berry, attempted tc
make the arrest.
The affair occurred mt the dis.
tillery on the outskirts of town,
and there was only one eyewitness
to it.
AT the inquest this morning all
the testimony went to prove that
johnson resisted arrest and was
shot by the above mentioned Of
ticers. The verdict of the Jury
was, "Chat w II johnson, while
resisting arrest, came to his death
at the hands of Clyde WhittIe
and Will Berry,"
The affair is very much regret
ted by the entire town. This is
the first time in the history of the
town that a white man has beer
killed in the incorporate limits.

TALMAGE SPEAKS
TO ERSKINE BOYS.
Great Crowd at the Due West
Commencement Exercises.
Advice Given the Graduates
Should Select With Greatest
Care the Life Work and
Life Partners.
Special to The State.

Due West, June 2O.-Thc
Mecca of the Seceders of SoutL
Carolina and the Drumtochtv of
America is crowded this week
with visitors to the commencement
exercises of Erskine college and
Due West Female college. There
is always a crowd at commence
ment here, for these Reformed
Presbyterians are Jealous in sun,
port of their institutions. But
this year the crowd is increased
by the wide reputation of the
commencement orator, Rev. +.
Dewitt Talmage. DR.. Talmage
arrived about noon and is enter
tanned at the home of President
Grior. He is accompanied BY his
wife. The crowd here is said to
be the largest ever seen in Due
West, even larger than that which
greeted Bryan last year.
The large and comfortable audi
torium was crowded to it's utmost
when the reverend gentleman be-
gan his address ut 8 o clock. DR..
Talmage announced that he had
no subject but would endeavor
simply to give the young men of
the college some advice and point
out to them some of the perils of
life. The speaker prefaced his
remarks by saying that he is an
optimist and that he believes this
is the best year of the best decade
of tie best century of the worlds
history. His first warning to the
graduates was to avoid multiplicity
of occupations. AS rule he says
a man can do only one thing well.
Difference in conditions in life
is due not SO much to difference
In truittulness of occupation as n
difference in the faculty of stick
to-lt- winners. He thought that a
Jack of all trades is master of
none. Every man gets n call from
God for some work.
| AS second advice DR.. TuImage
advised the cultivation of eQuipoisc
of temper. In this the best c0un
try on earth there is no Use for
getting out of temper. Good
cheer is good medicine. The
secret of happiness put into one
sentence is to make others happy.
His third point was, be sure
your amusoments are of the right
sort. We must have amuscments
but only amusements that do not
interfere with home duties are
harmless. The speaker told his
hearers to beware of unhappy
domestic relations. Happiness for
time and eternity depends on the
character of these relations. Esti-
mate mans character by his
estimate of womanly character.
Under the fifth head of spirit
of enthusiasm, the doctor waxed
quite enthusiastic himself. He
drew some pretty word pictures
of the age we live IN and the CONS
ing better century. He is a firm
believer in arbitration and disarm-
ment and believes that the young
men of this day will live to see
the accomplishment of these de-
sires. He thought that the young
man that cannot get up 81 me en-
thusiasm in such time will
be badly left in the race of
life. The doctor believes in the
early co ming of the millennium of
