The Deweys Mobbed.
Finally the Admiral asked Mr..
BOldt. the proprietor Of the Waldorf.
Astoria, to say to the reporters who
invested the hotel that he and Mrs.
Dewey appreciated the tenderness of
the people Of New York but he wished
they would pretend not to recognize
him when they saw him doing a little
shopping or taking walk or enjoying
q show. ''LOOk Dewey" a gamin
shouted the first morning that they
dared leave the hotel, then the great
American rushed upon them to shake
hands with them. Then the Deweys
and the crowd worked their way tn
Tiffany's where the proprietor double
barred the door and the crowd dassent
break 1t down though strongly urged
thereto by what it felt was patriotism.
The folks outside could see the Adj
miral and his wife moving toward the
back Of the store and they made
rush down Fifteenth street, evident
ly suspecting that the pair would come
out that way. A crowd stretching
clear across the street, was waiting
when the Admiral and Mrs Dewey re-
appeared. Seeing solid front Of peO
pie between him and his cab, the Ad.
miral stepped in front OF his wife,
raised his hand with deprecating
gesture and said:
''Please, my friends, please let US
get to our carriage"
Somebody remarked that It was
wonder man couldn't enjoy his honey
moon In peace, and at that the crowd
separated sufficiently to allow Admira!
and Mrs. Dewey to reach their cab,
which drove away to the hotel amid
much cheering. The Admiral and his
wife remained indoors all the after
noon. fearing to venture out again at.
ter their morning experiences
"It's wonder" as the man said.
that we, even the unassOrted collec.
tiOn in the streets, cannot allow a
man to take morning walk with his
wife or do the magnanimOus honey
moon shopping act without Fostering
him with our horny, ungroomed hands
which the fastidiOus Dewey is too DO.
lite not to shake. There are only a
very few men who really enjoy the

crowd and these men are so STEPPED In
vanity that they would Father sit on
the reeking dais of q side show en-
closure and be stared at by twenty five
cent admissions than be forgotten and
clean and quiet. The Admiral and,
fortunately, Mrs. Dewey are not of
this sort. They are both modest, pri.
vate citizens and they will accept i'm.

The Auditorium.
With the erection of the seven
arches the auditorium is completed
all but the finishing. The plan is
and strength itself: seven
arches supported On piers and con-
nected by roof with openings for
doors and windows, with a brick
foundation at one end to support the
stage and with gallery depending
entirely from the arches on two sides
and the end gallery supported by pill
lars; the whole surrounded by thin
brick wall of no more than two
courses Of brick in thickness because
1t supports only itself. The straight
lines Of the gallery and floor meeting
the cOncavity Of the arches shows the
lines OF construction, and those lines
have the same element Of beauty
mountain has, strength and repose.
No matter how crowded with people
the auditorium may be the timidest
will be treasured by a glance at the
arches and the plan Of construction
which the architect has very wisely
and after the invariablc habit Of all
architects Of large buildings, left ex
posed. The cathedrals owe their
quietude, their power, their security,
their influence not only to their fine
proportions but to the perfectly INTEL.
igible construction which in no no.
table cathedral Is concealed.
Contributors to the auditorium fund
express satisfaction with the building
as the construction proceeds. Itscon.
venicnce and its utility in housing
conventions will be Of advantage to
Lincoln in many ways.
1t appears to be doubtful IL the
heating apparatus will be ready for
the butter.makers' convention. The
members OF this association are used to
cold storage and may not object to
the fresh. cold, germ proof atm osphere
In which their delib eratiOns may have
to be conducted.

Senator and Mrs. Hayward have the
sympathy OF the state. The Senator's
illness interrupts his cherished plans
for the near future. His physicians
discouraging bulletins are depressing.
Besides the loss Of such a man to his
FAMILY and friends which his illness
threatens, his loss to the republican
party Is OF great significance Just
now. However, with the apparent
convalescence Of Vice President Ho.
bart whose death was also predicted
by his physicians there is hope for

WILL. CELEBRATE THE FOURTH,

Last year on July 4th this town
was almost depopulatcd By the factory
people and others who could leave
their business, going to adjoining
towns and factories TO enjoy the ath-
lctic games. We hear that at Pied.
mont and Pe|zer the crowds began
to pour into these towns by day light
the same as on circus days, and for
the balance of that day everybody
was in gala attire and everybody en-
joycd themselves.
The Mechanics of Columbia will
play in Union on July 18th against the
best teams that can be picked from
the regular players and the factory
team: in other words, the champions
arc going to be beaten, perhaps at
both morning and evening games.
The merchants will close their
stores at Il o'clock noon and as
many as possible will allow the clerks
to attend the morning games.
The athletic association has made
a Engagements to rave all tie promi
nent athletic games, such as foot, bag
AID potato races, catching srelscd
pig and climbing greased pole, jump
ing, etc on that day free to everybody.
a full cornet hanI will be on hand
t. enliven the occasion, besides the
usual lemonade auG ho.kee 20 kce ice
cream man.
The arrangement with programme
and list of prizes will be published
next week, as this feature Of the day
was only decided on last nj ight and the
management has not had the time to
formulate details, but suffice it to say
the association has ample funds to
carry through any programme they
may decide on and every body who
lives in town need not leave to enjoy
| themselves and those who are away
should make their arrangements tc
associatl0n guarantees the liYcliest
time in Union since the Red Skirts
had charge Of the town.

UNION, S. c., JUNE Ii, 1890.
Another Railroad Coming.

1t sometimes takes regular knock
down argument to convince some
people that YOU arc right. We have
repeatedly urged the leading business
men OF our town to take steps to Sc
cure another railroad to Union. but
ND TO this time there has been no de
cided move in this direction. The
argument we are now reluctantly
forced to use is the removal Of citizens
from our town and county to Spartan
burg and other places that have bet
ter railroad facilities. and are, there
fore, better places for business. This
is being seen and appreciated by wide
awake, progressive business men who
always seek locations Of this kind.
Although Union has made great
strides forward in the last few years,
vet the volume Of business is nothing
to compare with what could and
would have been had there been
another railroad running here. with
the large increase in population and
business enterprises that Union now
has, it, is almost impossible for
one railroad to handle the traffic; in
fact we may say it is impossible to do
obvious, therefore, that another rail
road here is an imperative necessity
and is bound comc-and the sooner
the better. 1t will not belong before
the new spinning mill now being
erected at the Knitting Mill will he
completed. This will add largely to
the bulk Of freight which must be
handled here, and unless we have
adequate railroad facilities the out
look for new enterprises and an in
crease in population is not cncourag-
ing; in fact the tide will turn the other
way, those among us will become dis
couraged and Union will plod along
in the same old rut as best she can
under the circumstances. This should
not be so and prompt measures should
be taken to avert it.

GOOD BRIDGES.

The Supervisors Of Lourens and
Union counties met at Jones Ford
Monday to let the contract for build
ing bridge at tha. place, and we are
proud to say that our energetic and
careful Supervisor prevailed on the
one from Laurcns to adopt steel
structure with good rock piers in
stead of the old style wooden bridge
to rot down in few years.
The contract was awarded to Mess.
Uasie 4 Young, of Nashville. Tenn,
representing the Grafton Bridge Co.,
of New York, for Sl,325.OQ. The
contract calls for steel truss bridge
with Il clear span 12O feet and Il
roadway 10 feet wide made Of hear,
lumber ,! inches thick-warranted
to sustain a rolling load Of 10000
pounds. We have seen the plan:
and feel satisfied the county vii
have 4 first class bridge, and is il
safe hands when she sent Tom Bctcn
baugh to make contracts.

WIDEN THE STREET.

The question of widening Main
street from Virgin to Bachelor
street has been talked about for
years, and if it is to be done at all it
should be done now, for the improve
ments in the hotel call for an open
veranda on second floor, to extend
across the side walk to the curb and
if this veranda is built it will be diff
cult to have it torn down in future to
make the side walk narrower.
1t has been suggested that Main
Street be made forty feet wide by
making side walk on either side -.
feet; cutting back the South side of
street about five feet and north side
three feet.
This would be a great Improvement
in the appearance Of the street and
undoubtedly a great convenience, for
AT present, with street only thirty |
two feet wide, there is often block
ade of wagons and buggies. While
the council are discussing this qucS-
ton, why not get figures and ascertain
the practicability of erecting bridge
across the railroad track at Main street.
which is blockadcd nearly all the
time by trains, and also have a re
port of that committee appointed to
to fix up tank for sprinklIng the
streets. The streets are again be.
coming little dusty and water
sprinkled from even the old fire tank
would be appreciated by the mer-
chants.

CHA NGI; IN MikI:-TP.

Our readers will find slight
change this week from las. in the
makeup of the paper.
We found that the tclcgraphic
news could not be put on first page
because that news, being the last to
reach the office, had to 90 to press
last and in folding the papers fresh
from the press the ink, not having
time to dry, would smear and blur
the reading; consequently we had to
put the telegraphic news on second
page and the latest locals or its com
panlon page, the seventh.
Lessons for next Sundays En-
worth League, Christian Endcavor
and international Sunday School will
be found on third page, while the in
teres'lns story Of Mary Hamilton 5
love affairs is developing on page six.
The location ofothcr news is about
as last week and the whole paper will
be found full Of good reading matter
and all the county news.
