South Carolina Legislature, has intro
duced bill to make it crime to

obstacls in the way of the bill in
spite of the fact that it is we'll meant.

The suez Canal and the Pc ssimist.

1t was shown that from an engineering
point of view the Suez Canal was impos-
sible, while from a commercial point of
view it was proved, up to the hilt, that
even if the canal could be made, it would,
SO far as traffic vent. be a failure as mel
a%nchonly to the philanthropist as it would
be disastrous to the investor.
The great authorities who spoke with so
much assurance are all dead, and it is
well for their comfort that they are.
In 1869 traffic between the west and the
east via the Cape of Good Hope was about
$500 600 tons. In 1897 the traffic through
the Suez Canal was 1898, 9S1 tons, while
that round the Cape of Good Hope was at
least $3.50, 600 tons.
In other words, one direct result of the
construction of the Suez Canal has been
that in twenty-eight years the
of the world has been increased 5000, 600
tons annually.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
return to the investor who risked his
money in what seemed to so many to be
a hare-brained project has been. to say
the least of it, of a fairly satisfactory

Horrible. Accident at

CAMP WETHERILL, GREENvILLF,
S. c., Jan. 26, 1S99.-One of the members
of the Fourth New Jersey had probably
as near an escape from a most horrible
death as could be. On Monday a merry
go-round of the familiar type was placed
on an open field on Main street. Private
Antonio Capelli of Company M, found
that the proprietor was an old acquaint-
ance, ana spent the early part of the
evening helping him in his work. The
machine had been in operation for some
time when young Capelli attempted to
alight while it was in motion. He stepped
on a loose board and was thrown down
on the track on which the wheels re-
yolve. He was dragged a distance of full
ly twenty feet before steam was shut off
and the brakes applied. When he was
taken out it was found that both legs
were horribly mangled and his collar bone
broken. His head was in bad shape, the
flesh being torn, and it was bleeding pro-
fusely. 1t was thought that the skull
was fractured, but it was afterwards, up
on examination, found that this was not
so. He was attended by the assistant
surgeon of the battalion of the Second
West Virginia, which is on provost duty,
and then removed to the Second Division
hospital. He will recover. The

The Hearty and Heroic in Letters.

There is nothing in life OF character
more winsome than commences welded
to great excellence; the ordinary crowned
with the extraordinary, as in Lincoln the
man, Socrates the philosopher, Burns or
Wordsworth the poet. Distinction wins
admiration, commences wins love. The
note of equality, the democratic not, is
much more pronounced in Browning than
than in Tennyson. in Shelly than in ARM
old. in Wordsworth thar in Milton, and
it is more pronounced in American poets
than in English. In times and for a peo-
pie i k ours, the suggestion of something
hearty and heroic in letters, is more need
ed than the suggestion of something fine
exquisite. Distinction is not to be
c~onfounded with dignity or elevation,
which fourfshes more or less in all great
peoples. A common laboring man may
show great dignity, but never distinction.
Dignity often shone in the speeches of the
old Indian chiefs. 4but not distinction

The Castle Point Cyclers won a series of
two games from the Hamilton Wheeimen
last night in the Associated Cycling Clubs
of New Jersey League at Groth's alleys.
There were no exceptional scores.
The first game looked like the Hamil-
tons up to the seventh Frame. They had
been leading and in the fourth had a
margin of SO pins. When the seventh was
totaled the Castle Points were one pin
ahead and after hat they set a pace that
was too warm for the Union Hill con-
tingent. The Castle Points won out by
46 pins. Clark had high score, ITS. Fuessel
was high for the Castle Points with 1866.
The second game saw the Hamiltons in
the lead until the fourth frame, when
they were 10 pins behind. After that it
was a question of how many, and this was
settled when the totals showed a differ
ence of Al pins in favor of the Hoboken
five. Klahre was high with liza. Keller
got ITO. The scores follow

ship-General Notes.

The Jersey City Clubs Athletic League
team bowled against the North End team
last night in a series of three games in
the Athletic League. The games were
rolled on the North Ends alleys. The
Jersey City quintette made a strong bid
for the entire series and got two of the
three. This gives them a firmer hold on
second position and they are now ex-
pected to finish in that place. There was
a large crowd on hand to witness the
contests, and the roofing was no small
feature of the meeting.
The first game showed the North Ends
at their best, and they passed the 900
mark, which gave them the game easily.
The visitors put up a good game for
unknown alleys, but lost by SO pins.
Meyer was in good form. He got 1874 and
was high for the visitors. Cadiz and
Ruse tied him for the honors of the
game.
The second game saw a big improve
ment in the Jersey City Club team. They
struck their gait and it was a fast one.
The home team meantime was suffering
a bad falling off in their work. The
visitors got 905 and won by 70 pins. Brown
was the star performer this time. He
got 1876. HUFFMAN was high for the North
Ends, with 1870.
The last game was the same as the
first, as far as the Jersey City team
was concerned. They fell but two pins
below their previous score, while the
home team failed to reach 800. The Jer-
sey City Club majority was 1872 pins.
Meyer had a cinch on top figures and
added to his average. His score in this
game was 222. Newkirk got 191. Th
North Ends were in great trouble. Their
highest score was 165, made by Cadiz.

FREMONT CLUBS DINNER

The date of the dinner which the FREE

ing Republicans at the Berkeley clubhouse.
Ravine and Webster avenues, has been
changed from February 2 to February 8.
The reason for the change was that the
Bar Association dinner takes place on
the second and many prominent invited
guests would be unable to attend if it
was held on that night.
