KILLING OVER THE BoER WAR.
Too Much whisky Seems to Have
Been at the Bottom of 1t,

Charleston, S. c., Dec. 23.-A homicide
was committed in this city tonight as the
result of an argument over the Transvaal
war, between an Irishman and an English
man.
Ma thew ca ason, Irish, and Alec Logan,
English, engaged in the controversy
which grew warm. Logan went home, got
shotgun and returned to the scene oil
the dispute. Gleason having left he shot
and killed another young man Of Irish
descent, Mike Hogan, who had been in
no way connected with the dispute.
Too much John Bar'eycorn rather than
admiration for either John Bull or Paul
Kruger was at the bottom of the affair.

all unless the State Convention selects him
as one Of the four delegates at large. Now

famous by playing travelling lnborer

are members of his class. They wanted

The students were Charles A. Foster

AUTOMOBILE PATROL WAGON.
Gerry Society of New York City to
Have n TEOTEclcSs Vehicle TO
Carry Children.

The Gerry society of New York city
has closed contract with Richard
Croker's autotruck company for one
automobile patrol wagon for carrying
children from the society's rooms in
East Twenty-third street 10 the various
courts. This is said to be the first or
der for an automobile patrol wagon
that has been given TO the new com
pany. The price Of the wagon was not
disclosed. The cost of the patrol wagon
for horses is $500 and the expenses of n
driver and care of the horse has been
$l25 a month. 1t was reported that au-
tomobles would in the near future re-
place the horse patrol wagons in the po-
lice department.

= FOND OF MUSIC.
President 'MclSInIey Enjoys the Sing
Ing of His Niece, Miss Mabel
Mckinley.

Miss Mabel Mckinley sang at the
Metropolitan church, Washington, the
other morning. The president is es-
pecially fond of the music of her voice,
and requested she would sing for DR..
Bristol's congregation as She sang at
St. Paul's Methodist church on n pre-
vious Sunday. Since Miss Mckinley
has been visiting at the white house
both the president and Mrs. Mckinley
have had feast of he songs they most
enjoy. The president does not pretend
to appreciate the semiclassical style of
composition of the present day, where
the accompaniment is Il study to which
the song is supplementary. A simple
ballad like "Louisiana Lou" or Daddy"
is more to his taste. In the afternoon
when the most pressing duties of the
day are over Miss Mckinley and Miss
Shields sing in the upstairs library,
while the door is left open to the room
where the president transacts execu-
tive business.

The building of q cup-defender is

made to provide her with costly fit
tings and the material Is not very ex-
pensive. But the huge size of her can

There must be 80 of the finest sailors

No cup-defender was ever taken upon
q long cruise without first being con-
verted into a schooner, which enables
her to dispense with half her crew, al
though her speed is thereby reduced.
Even Banker j. Pierpont Morgan, the
purchaser of the Mayflower, had her
turned into a two-sticker before using
her for travelling.
Counting cost and maintenance, it
takes about $3.50, 900 to keep the Amer
ica's cup at home, and the craft that
does it will be worth little after the
race until rebuilt. The men who bear
this expense have to be very public
spirited. They get little advertising or
appreciation out of it.

The Bowery, which is noted for ex-
quisite behavior when It feels that way,

any rowdyism. There is more think

And there is good deal of simple, kind

For three quarters of an hour that
particular wire was busy. The article
was read slowly, the author pausing
at frequent intervals to consider the
turn of phrase-still at two dollars
per minute. He changed some of the
sentences, comparing the finished
speech with the Nough draft left in New
York, until he was satisfied that the
latter was fair report of what he was
going to say. Then he "rung off" and
paid bill of about 800 10 the telephone
people.
The man who did this in his desire
for accuracy was. when he first came to
the United States, q porter in a whole
sale dry goods store. And he was n
good porter, his vast strength and
faithfulness to business making him in
valuable.
Such man was bound TO get on. He
went into politics, was admitted to
the bar and became the greatest orator
in TammaDy. He possessed the gift Of
talking. When he spoke the blood was
pumped from his big, strong heart TO
his full face, until his features, rather
impassive in repose, became eloquent
with expression.
He was too strong a man TO stay in
Tammany without quarreling, For
years he has been on bad terms with
Croker; and. former workingman as
he is, he has had the entree, when he
chose TO use it. to the best So

and Whitneys. He is made man, and
