Attended 5000 Funerals.

READING, June 10.-Sophia Christian,
known as Funeral Sophia was taken
to the aims house to-day by Chief Of
Police Miller. Sophia has a record that
is probably nnequalled. By actual
record she has attended over C,O0O
funerals, and for years past she has
made an effort to miss as few as pos
sible. She was a close reader Of the
death columns of the local papers and
was kept busy when half a dozen in
terments took place here in Il single
day.
When denied admission to IL house
where there was q funeral she fire.
quently scaled a back fence in order to
be present. On many occasions she
walked as much as eight or ten miles
for the purpose of being present at a
funeral. Sophia is GO years of age

Women are rapidly invading the do
main Of men in college work IN Amer
ica. The large number of women stu
dents enrolled in the graduate dc. art
ment of Yale at the session just closed
calls attention to feature OF academic
life which is assuming large proper
tions every year. 1t was in 1852 that
the educational world was somewhat
startled by the information that the
corporation Of Yale had decided to
open it's graduate department. OF bach
e1ors of art without distinction OF sex,
and there we're many forcwarnlngs
concerning the failure of such an ICON
oclastic departure. During the seven
wears that the experiment has been
uuder way the women students nave
had to struggle against innumcrable
difficulties, but it is believed that at
least they have established their posi-
tion upon "a permanent footing. t IS
stated shat there is hardly any member
of thu faculty who does not have {,

A Tribute.

Death entering the happy home of
Mr.. and Mrs. I. w. Banister and bear
ing away in it's cruel embrace the
spirit Of little Wilton, aged three
years. caused a deep gloom of sorrow
to settle down around that home, and
although it looked so dark to the be-
reaved ones they could see here and
there bright rays of comfort beamlng
through the misunderstanding
from Him who is ever able and willing
to comfort us in our sorrows. They
knew that the little sufferer was at
rest, freed from all the pain and SORROW
of this world. We know that it was
hard for them to part with him, for
having been delicate from infancy, the
ties Of love and affection were drawn
closely around him, and now their sad
hearts will ache when they think that
they will no more hear the sweet child
ish prattle and the patter OF those little
feet. They will sadly miss the many
little witty sayings, for truly he was
very bright. But the mothers sorrow
Wilt be greater, and she will long to
once more clasp the little form to her
loving heart and imprint kisses Of love
and affection upon the little face which
the ICY hand OF death has forever hid
den from her sight. IT'S precious
bud which the Father placed here on
earth for only short while and now
has transplanted it to bloom in Heaven
beside the crystal river. 1t is such a
sweet and comforting thought to think
of him now being one more little angel
in the circle round the throne of God
singing praises to His holy name. And
now we hope that the bereaved ones
may live such lives here on earth as to
be gathered together round the throne
an unbroken family. PEARL.

Gen. Wheeler 10 Philippines.

CHICAGO, June 2l.-A special to the
Times-Herald from Pctoskcy. Mich.
says Secretary of War Algcr gave indi-
rect confirmation to-day to the report
that Gen. Joseph Wheeler is to be as
signed to duty in the Philippines.
When questioned about it as he and
Gen. Wheeler we're about to leave for
the Grand Army camp he promptly re-
piled: "There is nothing to say, at
least not until | issue the order"
81 ana still in the service" said Cen
Wheeler when questioned, "and am
subject to orders. am not now under
orders. How soon | will be is for Sec
retary Alger to decide"
He talked and looked, though, like a
man who is not only ready. but even
expecting an important assignment.

Will Be Bryan Again.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 21.-A
distinguished Southern gold democrat
Who recently, for the first time, met
William J. Bryan, says he is man OF
attractive personality. and, although
misguided, of evident sincerity. He
says Mr.. Bryan will unquestionably be
renominated in 1900, and on the same
platform as in 1896, although there
will most probably be additions to meet
the later issues.
The talk of Mr.. German or OF any one
else than Mr.. Bryan, this gentleman
says, is simply childish. Even if, as
alleged, and of this there is much
doubt, Tammany has any serious pur-
poses regarding Mr.. German, It will
not be in any position to put them into
execution. The Bryan delegates will
overwhelmingly dominate the national
convention and will carry him through
with an irresistible rush.
In any event, says this gold demo
crat from the South, Mr. German, with
his record, would be the weakest man
to put up and would be beaten worse
than Greeley in 1879. In his opinion
the gold democrats will make no nom
ination in 1900. This will make lta
square fight between Mckinley and
Bryan. because, OF course, the other
third tickets of the usual character arc
altogether insignificant and inconse-
ouential side shows.

The Man Who Drinks.

The business world recognizes that
no man who drinks is as good as he
would be if he never drank. Time was
when in certain lines Of business it was
considered necessary to drink. Quite
the contrary is the case now. Even
saloon men prefer barkeepers who do
not drink the liquids they sell. All the
fairy tales about the great things peo-
die do when under the influence of
liquor have been exploded. The orator
who must be intoxicated in order to
make speech is no longer here and he
has never been here. The lawyer who
cannot plead a case or cite an authority
without spending the night before in q
bar room has gone to visit the pale
glimpses Of the moon and he has always
been gone. The writer WhO produces
great poem or great essay while
maudlin removed from this planet be-
fore the command "Let there be light
was given. The bookkeeper, clerk,
mechanic, salesman, artisan, young Oh
old, is not at his best while he is under
the influence of liquor and he is not as
valuable to himself, his employer or
society. In the race of life the tempe
rate man has the best of it; the drink
ing man is handicapped. Great things
have been done while the brain was
excited by stimulants, but greater
things would have been done had there
been no artificial stimulation. The
sober man is always an improvement
on the drunken man.-lfcmphis COM

There is law on the statute books
of South Carolina which is very much
a dead letter. This law was approved
by the Governor on the Sd day of March
1899. It is entitled: "An Act to Pre-
vent Drunkenness and Shooting Upon
the Highway The provisions OF the
law are very plain, simple and easily
understood: "That any person who
shall indulge in boisterous conduct
while under the influence of intoxlca-
ting liquors or feigning to be under the
influence of such liquors, or without
lust cause or excuse shall discharge
any firearms while upon or within fifty
yards of any public road, except upon
his own premises, shall be guilty Of t;1 a
thereof shall pay fine of not more
than ore hundred dollars, or be i'm
prisoned for not more than thirty days.

The Columbia Record truly remarks:
.If Governor afcSweeney and Secretary
Of STATE Cooper secure completion Of
the State House, they will do South
Carolina q real service and deserve the
special thanks Of Columbiai,s. Inc
present unsightly condition OF that
building is a bad advertisement Tor the
State and q handicap to Columbia. 1t
gives visitors an unfavorable impress
sion Of our resources and discredits our

A Macadam Road at Clemson.

CLEMSON. June 20.-Sincc the Col
lege closed last Wednesday and nearly
all the cadets have left the campus
presents a dull appearance, but tins
does not indicate that everything Ill
the way Of work has stopped. AS q
matter of fact the faculty will have a
hard summers work ahead and will not
get as much rest and vacation as de-
served. Prof. Brodie is already en-
gagged with Office work preparatory TO
starting the macadam road that IS to
be built under his direction as engineer
and which is intended to be one OF the
best that can be made. 1t will be about
one mile long, and will be an object
lesson when completed in the science
of road making
When Secretary James Wilson was
here several weeks ago he was shown
the route of this road; he at once be-
came interested in the project, and
after returning to Washington sent a
Government expert, Mr.. Eld1idge, here
to look into the matter. MI. Eldridge
manifested much interest, considering
this fine opportunity of experiment.
ing in a section Of tine South where
macadam roads are almost unknown,
and the result of it all is that the Gov
ernment is going to send all the road
making machinery needed, free OF cost,
to do the work.
Work will be pushed during summer.
Chemist F. S. Shiver will soon have
ready q bulletin on the chemical study
of sea island cotton. Those wishing q
copy will be furnished on application.
President Hartzog and Prof. Connor
will attend the Association Of Ameri-
can Colleges and Experiment Stations, :"
that convenes at San Francisco July 4.
Charleston people should bestir them
selves to have the next meeting go to
Charleston.
Arrangements will be completed by
next opening of College for the intro
duction of nature study in all the sub
fresh man classes. This will be new
method of teaching elementary sciences
by studying nature from objects rather
than from books only.
Applications for next year are al
ready coming in and the prospect for a
large attendance is good. 1t is note
worthy fact, and one particularly
pleasing to President Hartzog, that out
of some 200 boys, comprising thejunior,
sophomore and freshman classes, only
four will not return.
The examinations recently concluded
were very satisfactory on the whole,
and a. matter of credit to the student
body and Of qualification to the faculty.
Prof. Clinkscales' withdrawal from
Clemson to accept the chair Of mathe-
matics at Wofford causes much regret
here, where he has many friends.
Not only is he liked in the class room,
but he has always taken part in what
ever tended to promote the moral ad-
yancement of the boys, and Ills grace
full and affable manners to all attracted
them to him. He is an alumnus OF
Wofford and takes conmendable pride
and pleasure in being called there,
without solicitation, and will doubtless
serve that College as faithfully as he
has ClemsOn.-Ners and Courier.
