The museum of ancient instruments
at Berlin has just come into posses
sion of highly interesting old Rotte
or Rotta, discovered in the tomb of a
German warrior at Tuttlingen, on the
Danube, by the side of his sword and
spear The instrument is attributed
by a German savant to the fourth
century, although the date is very like
ly too early. The rotta, seven
stringed instrument plucked by the
fingers, or with a plectrum, was used
both as a church instrument and to
accompany the voice in the Middle
Ages. and there are pictures of it in
the ninth century. although no such old
instrument was believed to be still eN-
tant until the present musical warrior. S
tomb was found at Tuttlingen.
From Rome comes the report that
Verdi has given up all idea of writing
any more operas, but has been engaged
for some time on his memoirs, which
will soon be completed. He spoke about
his intention to write such book sew

impelled him to undertake this task
was less the desire to tell the story OF
his life than to explain to the world

Mansfield to his eminence as an actor

you see Mansfield disappear. When the
callboy has announced his cue you see
emerge a totally different person.
One reason that there are so few
good portraits of Mansfield in cnarac-
ters is that he refuses always to make
up in the daylight. He believes In ad-
herring to the light in which he moves
as a character If he made up in day
light he would mix the color and tone

effect would not be what he would wish
it.

in the room he is excused and the secret
work begins.
Many an actor would give much to
know some of MansfieldS methods in
his countenance. To as
sumo the hard and heavy eyebrows of
Shylock- is not much of a trick, but it
is noteworthy to observe that, with
nearly the entire natural surface of his
face in view, perhaps a slight mustache
used occasionally this artist transforms
his face into a whole gallery of por-
traits.

a Good Speech.

President Thomas E. Miller, of the
colored college at this place, delivered
at Spartanburg an Emancipation Day
speech in which he said many wise
things to his brethren. The burden OF
the speech was to the effect that not
withstanding the prattle to the contra
~, Negroes receive better treatment IN
the south than in any other portion OF
the world where white and blacks are
trying to live together. He advises
the Negroes that the white people are
going to rule, no matter what comes,
and that they are going 10 keep within
the constitution sufficiently to guard
against Federal interference. He tells
his brethren, also, that they will 90
we'll to submit quietly to the SUPERIOR
ty of the whites and devote their atten-
ton to education rather than govern
ment. II an convinced, he says,
:'that the south is the place for my pco-
pie. Here we will in the end become
strong people; yes, we will be a great
factor in the accomplishment and de-
velopment of this nation; but we must
not rely upon assistance from without.
We must depend upon the aid that IS
to be had at our door Each family,
every indiyidual, must depend on itself.
The greatness Of a race is the measure
of the greatness of each person. Of each
family. OF each community.

Tighter and Tighter.

While the trade journals are enthn-
siastic over the large amount OF busl-
ness done in 1898 by our different lines
of industry, there is a general COM
plant from the retailers that their
profits are very small. This is fully
explained bv the Augusta Chronicle
when it says that under the gold stan
dard, to make any profit at all, in most
lines Of business, vast amounts OF goods
must be sold at bargains, because the
masses, impoverished by falling values,
will not and cannot purchase in any
other way, when they purchase at all.
Even in the old-fasnioned city Of Bal
timore, where 10000 houses are esti-
mated to be vacant, there is hardly a
week passes now that some trust com.
pany is not formed, and the only two
rival street car companies are making q
fight to absorb one another. If this
thing should go on, and there is moth
ing yet to prevent it, and everything to
provoke and compel it, the middle class
will be afflicted and despoiled, just as
the cotton planters are today, and the
wheat farmers will be tomorrow. The
presidents plan, colonially, will only
intensity, aggravate and demoralize the
situation, so far as the masses are con-
cerned. So, we look for tremendous
following for Mr.. Bryan, in 1900, that
was opposed TO him in 1896. They are
having their eyes opened, as savings
banks presidents have been Illuminated,
with compulsory cutting of interest,
and they may prefer to take even free
coinage rather than trust to Mckinley S
threat of the wrath to come.

Vest Shows It Up.

The Atlanta Journal says the impe-
aialists may complain that Senator
Vest is bitter IN the article which he
contributes to the current number OF
the North American Review, but they
will find it easier to whine than to an
swer the solid arguments or to offer sub
stantial reasons against the apprehen-
sions which he declares. Senator Vest
holds that the program of the admins
tration for the forcible assertion of the
authority of our government over the
the Filipinos is utterly inconsistent
both with the theory and the traditions
Of our government He appeals to our
own history in way that must affect
all except those blind and blatant ex-
pansionists whose only argument is
that no good citizen Will advocate a
withdrawal of our power where it has
once been asserted Senator Vest
shows conclusively that from the de-
cisions of the supreme court and from
the speeches and writings Of the great
men who founded and fostered the re-
public that such thing as the exten-
sion of our government over people who
did not ask or desire it, was not only
never contemplated, but was repugnant
to the principles of the fathers. He
exhibits also in series Of decisions OF
the supreme court very importantiact
which the imperialists seem to ignore
entirely-namely, the fact that We have
in our system Of government neither a
scheme for colonial system or the
right to make one. Senator Vest speaks
boldly, but it is time for plain talk.
He says: A great crisis is upon US.
and our free Institutions must be main
tained by the intelligence and virtue OF
the people, or cease to exist. We can
not escape the peril by stopping our
ears, as did Ulysses those Of his sailors,
when allured to ruin by the sirens
songs. Let US keep them wide open,
that they may hear the truth. Let us
listen to that lofty resolution Of con-
gress declaring the war with Spain to
be waged not for conquest, but for hu-
manity and the liberation Of Cuba from
Spanish despotism; and then let US
hear with impatient disgust those who
are shouting against hauling down the
fac y which thev would dishonor and
degrade by violating this solemn pledge.
Let the flag Of our republic not be
hauled down." but brought back to
congenial soil, where it will wave over
freemen, instead Of floating above con-
quered islands in another hemisphere
and ten millions half barbarians bought
for 50 each" AS the Journal says,
Dewey's victory was glorious, but it
did not subvert the constitution. Lit
changed our notions of government
then it was worse than defeat.

His Reason.

Some of the best Of Dean Pigon's sso-
ries come from Halifax (nos SheGeld).
One Of these concerns his verger, one
Sagar. Imagine him, venerable figure
with gray hair, skullcap, gown and
verger's staff. In ignorance they had
married a man to his deceased wife'r
sister.
Sagar, whose business it was to set
tie the matter about the banns, was at
once cross examined. "Oh, yes, vicar,
said he, "Iknowed right well! know
ed parties. "But why did You not
tell me?" l should have forbidden
them" "Well, vicar, it was just this

Significant Object Lesson.

The city of Chicago has recently had
a very significant object lesson in the
Capitalization Of great wealth in all
sorts Of trusts and monopolies for the
oppression Of the people. This is only
one Of the many evils made possible by
the gold standard. The straw that
broke the camers back was the effort OF
certain capitalist to procure perma-
nent control Of the city franchise Of the
street railway transportibn. The great
Chicago papers, all of which opposed
Bryan in 1896, jumped on the scheme
and denouncs d it. To show how these
papers viewed the matter We will quote
from one Of them. The Times Herald
said:
'.The anarchists Of today are the men
who corrupt legislatures and purchase
aldermen. Their attack upon our bus
mess, political-and social life is Infinite
ly more to bedreaded than the mouth
ings of Spies, Parsons and Lingg. 1t
is an insidious serpent that wraps its
coils about the cupidity Of men and
deadens their consciences to the prick
ings Of honor and honesty. 1t be-
smears all public spirit with the slime
Of selfshness and personal aggrandlze-
ment. The anarchy of corruption goes
armed with Doodle where the poor fools
Of 1886 threw bombs. 1t uses secret
gold for arguments instead Of open
threats. It masquerades in the garb OF
capital, and pleads necessity for cor
ruption while it prostitutes legislatures
and city councils to steal the peoples
birthright. Against this anarchy Of
corruption is arrayed every honest, un-
purchasable element in Chicago.
This is very strong language as well
as very humiliating confession on the
part of strong Republican paper that
did all it could in 1896 to put Mark
Hanna and the very anarchists 1t now
denounces in charge of the government
by the election of Mckinley to the
Presidency. The old adage that chick
ems will come home to roost is true, and
We are glad that some Of the Chicago
chickens are going home toroostso soon.
When Bryan charged the same crimes
against the monopolists in 1896 that
these papers now charge against them
they called him calamity howler,"
and said he was an ''alarmist, !" but two
short years have caused them to change
their ideas little, and now they agree
with Bryan that the real anarchists OF
today are the Mark Hannas and other
"eorruptors Of legislators and the pur-
ohasers Of aldermen.

STUCK IN THE SNOW.
Dangers of Travelling by Sledge =
Siberia In Winter.

Siberin In Winter.
Travelling by sledge in Siberia In
winter has its perils, as the experience
of Mr.. Robert L. Jefferson and his
friends goes to illustrate. The incident
is told in "Roughing 1t In Siberia"
We had chartered six sorry looking
horses to drag us on to the next stage.
1t was night when we started. The dri7-
er, maudlin drunk, had to be helped
to his seat, and we set of along the
narrow roadway at the usual gallop,
which, however, soon dwindled into a
mere shuttle through the snow. We had
gone to sleep, and some hours after our
departure Gaskell woke me and said ne
thought something was wrong.
The sledge was at standstill, and
our shouts to the yemshik brought no
response. Black darkness prevailed. I
bundled out of the sledge, SO benumbed
that could scarcely move. I felt along
the sledge, sinking to my knees in the
snow.
The drivers perch was empty, and
just then I stumbled over one Of the
horses, which was lying buried up to
its neck. It was clear that the driver
had fallen from his seat, and that the
horses had wandered from the track.
The poor beasts were stuck fast, and
closer inspection showed one Of them
to be dead, literally frozen to death. II
we would save ourselves from the same
fate, prompt action was necessary.
The other horses were nearly sue
cum bing. They lay fat on their stom.
achs and nibbled at the snow. We cut
the dead animal adrift, and, using the
spare rope as whips, we stood on either
side Of the living and lashed them till
our arms ached. At length they moved,
and by pushing and pulling we got the
sledge turned. Then, step by step, with
much foundering and many falls, we
began to retrace our way.
All this in pitch darkness in raw.
cold wind and in momentary expecta-
ton of one or all of the horses dropping
dead.
It was terrible experience, but we.
regained the road and finally reached
the village.

a Plain Statement.

The South Carolina Spartan says the
Spartanburg ". C. 7. q has changed
its name to the Christian Temperance
Workers. 1t has the same old officers:
Mrs. @. D. Whitman, president; Miss
Julia Y. Smith, corresponding secreta-
~; Mrs. A. P, Mulligan, recording sec
retary; Mrs. j. B. Wertz. treasurer.
The same place Of meeting, and the
same plans Of work will be observed.
It still conducts the Band Of Hope.
The society of Christian Temperance
Workers is entirely unconnected with
the ". G. T. u, local, State or nation
al. It is State organization for the
promotion Of temperance, non-polltlcal
and undenominational. Its president
is Nrs. E. s. Herbert, Of Orangeburg,
S. c. This organization, though new,
has met with great encouragement from
the prominent prohibitionists Of the
State.
A few Of the members who did not
approve Of the change met at Mrs. 3.
Woford's residence, and elected d her
president Of ". C. T. u, which isan
auxiliary of the State ". c. 7. e., Of
which Mrs Roach is president, Miss \.
Farow is secretary. The State ". c.
T. q. is, of course an auxiliary to the
National ". c. T. T., Of which Mrs.
Stevens is president aud Miss Gordon
is vice president. In commenting on
the above the Southern Christian Ad-
vecate says. 'Christian Temperance
Workers is the name of the split-of in
Spartanburg, in this State, Of the lady
Temperance Workers there from the
National ". C. T. U. The new order
proposes to give itself exclusively to
work Of Temperance Reform and to
have nothing whatever to do with Wo.
mans Suffrage or any other kind OF
politics. This latest secession we hail
with undisguised and enthusiastic de-
light.

Murders Last Year.

The total number Of muders commit
ted throughout the United States dur
ing 1898 shows decrease-being 7,S4O,
as compared with $3.50 in 1897; 1852
in 1896; 10, 800 in 1895. The causes
of these murders may be roughly classi-
fed as follows: Quarrels, 1857; un-
known, 2,679; jealousy, 2O5; liquor 2O1;
BY highwaymen, 222; infanticide, 24S;
resisting arrest, 147; highwaymen killed,
81; insanity, SO; self-defence, 81;
strikes, %; outrages, 5; riots, 23. The
criminal work Of mob murderers through
out the country has decreased, as com
pared with 1897, being smaller than in
any year since 1885, except 1890, when
the number was the same. Judge
Lynch has executed l27 persons-122
males and 5 females. The lynchings
in the various states and territories
were as follows: Arkansas, II; South

The Issues Of 1900.

In his latest delirerance on the sub
ject of expansion Mr.. Bryan says: 1T
is useless to ask what effect this new
issue will have upon other issues. Is
sues must be met as they arise; they
cannot be moved about at will like
paTns oc chess board" " That's true.
A great many people seem alarmed at
the hold Mr.. Bryan still has on the
country. They have prophesied the
death of silver and the demise OF Bry-
an so often that they had come to the
conclusion that it was true. But they
will fnd differently when the issues OF
1900 are presented.--Spartanburg
