THE RICE YIELD GOOD.
Planters Now Busy in Harvesting
Their Crops.

Planters Now Busy in Harvesting
Their Crops.
The rice harvest is now well under way
and with a sufficient season of fair wealth
er the planters will soon have their rice in
shock. Many planters began cutting last
week and nearly all the others win begin
cutting tomorrow il the weather be favor
able The crop is about a week to ten
days late and the occasional rains are in
terfering with the work of harvesting. 1t
is feared that the rains will become more
frequent and that loss Will result through
delays caused from this source.
With very few exceptions the planters all
report that they have made good crops
this year The exact yield cannot be told
until a portion of the crop has been
threshed, but all the indications are that
the yield is large and the quality is good.
With no damage from storm or freshet it
is expected that the local receipts will be
about 275,0O0 TO 100000 bushels. This is the
storm season of the year and the planters
are i'm some anxiety 10 get in their crops
before the blow comes The late season
and the probability OF rains are against
them, but It may also prove to be an off
year for storms.
Reports received from the upland rice
crop are to the effect that 1t is almost a
total loss due 20 the effects of the drought
The upland rice is planted in small guam
titles in the interior but the aggregate
production is considerable, amounting US
ually to about one-sXth OF Savannah's re-
Ceipts, as high as 60,000 bushels having
been received from this source.
Reports from New Orleans are to the eG-
feet that the crop has been considerably
damaged by rain the result being slight
Improvement in prices.

A PAPER CANNON BALL.
Mrs. ROwIinslSi's Unique Gift to
Postmaster Doyle.

Postmaster Joseph f. Doyle was the re-
cipient yesterday OF a handsome and
unique present in the shape OF an immense
cannon ball, the gift of Mrs r. A Row
llnski. The cannon ban is Of the harmless
variety, being intended for ornament ard
not for destructive purposes. The bail is
very large, being constructed of red, white
and blue paper, ana is quite an artistic
piece of work.
In returning his thanks to Mrs. Row
linsk for the gift, Mr.. Doyle remarked
that if all cannon balls We're pretty and
harmless as this one war would be robbed
of much OF its horrors. The ornament has
been given a prominent position in the
postmasters Office.

Sealing Wax Language.

Postage stamps have long had a
language, and now comes some one
who claims to translate the subtle
meanings of sealing wax. Business
letters should be sealed with red,
friendly letters with gray. To your
lover you devote blue, in token Of
constancy, unless you wish to hint
that you have, or think you have,
cause for jealousy, when you will use
yellow. A reply to wedding invl-
tation should be sealed with white,
and letter of coincidence for death
call with black or violet. A dinner
invitation may be sealed with coffee
colored wax, and when man gets a
letter sealed with green, from the
girl he admires, he may feel that she
shyly bids him hope.

WIFE AND H0MG ARE GONE.
Unique Sale Which Occurred at Mount Car.
mel a Few Days AGO

Mt. Carmel has the unique djstinc.
ton OF being classed auioog those
towns where the buying and selling of
human beings is still in vogue. The
town is not, as a whole, proud of the
distinction, and does not encourage
it, yet the fact remains, according to
the following story furnished from a
reliable source:
A few days ago man disposed OF
his spouse to his brother and the two
aie now living together on East ave.
nue., that place, and appear to be per-
fectly contented with the change.
The husband is boarding on Railroad
street, same place, and says he will
never again visit his former home, as
that was also part of the deal.
About eleven years ago John He
bata was killed in the mines. His
wife remained single for one year,
when she met John Bliha, and the
two decided that it would be impossi-
nle for them to live apart. Accord
ingly wedding ceremony was per-
formed and they lived happily for
some time. A couple of years ago
the wife decided to visit Europe and
John produced the wherewithal for
the trip. She remained in that far off
country for several months and then
returned to her husband. He is an
industrious chap and managed to save
considerable money, with which he
purchased a home on East Mt. Car
mel avenue. About the time she re-
turned from her trip abroad a brother
of John came to board with them.
His name was George, and he was
rather all attractive young man.
This was where Johns troubles
began. The wife fell in love with
George and treated John cool. She
would scarcely speak to him. A
month ago George said he was going
to get married. Then Johns wife
said she would leave her husband if
George left the house. John had
lived anything but happy life and
seized the chance to relieve himself Of
the burden
Then an agreement was entered
into whereby George was to secure
the wife, the property, two pigs and a
COW, for stipulated amount, said 70
be $500. 1t was satisfactory to all
concerned and John packed his
clothes and went. He now boards
on railroad street and is having a
peaceful life. George has taken
charge of affairs at the old home, and
his adopted wife is his obedient ser-
want.

Religious Freedom.
The Term Does Not Include the Right to
Make Night Hideous.

A decision just rendered by the
Pennsylvania Superior Court treats
the question of what is and what is
not religious freedom" with a cour-
age and clearness of understanding
that might we'll be initiated by every
Judge and juror before whom are
brought cases in which ignorant fanat-
icism or unscupu,ous greed demands
toleration on the ground that the right
of worship without interference is in
volved. Too often the mere raising of
this claim and the utterance of few
pious phrases are enough to win en-
tirely undeserved leniency, and the
result is the continued practice ofrites
which, at best, are method of exploit
ing the credulous, and at worst, con-
stitute grave danger to public health
and morals. The case decided IN
Pennsylvania was of no great conse-
quence in itself, being merely that of
Salvation Army officer in Wilkes
Barre who had persisted in beating a
drum in the streets, though the mayor
of the city had explicitly refused to
give him permit. Judge Orlady, by
whom the decision was rendered, took
OCCASION, however, to discuss the sub
ject of religious liberty at considerable
length, and every word he said is as
sound sense as it is sound law. He
asserted the entire groundlessness Of
the impression that "religious liberty
includes the right which persons see
fit to make part of their religious
system" Nobody can doubt that
such an impression exists, though no.
body dreams of being consistent
enough to carry 1t to its logical con-
clusion and permit human sacrifice,
or even polygamy,however sincere may
be the conviction that they are mat
tiers of Divine sanction or command.
1t is only when some charlatan or ia
natic breaches against the observance
of sanitary precautions or the employ
ment of doctors and surgeons that the
unintelligent draw back in alarm from
the suggestion of legal interference.
The Wilkes Barre drummer, a COM
paritvely harmless nuisance, posed rs
a martyr, but Judge Orlady coldly
pointed out that he was only wilful
breaker of the law, and the law, and
that his punishment raised not relig-
ious question at all, but the much SIM
pier one, whether the local ordinances
forbade the use of the streets for pur-
poses that interfered with the free pas
sage through them of the ordinary
traffic tor which they are designed.
To that there could be but one
answer-an affirmation OF the mans
conviction of a misdemeanor.-New

1t is said to be very impolite when
about to propose to question the sub
ject of your love if she is already
engaged. You should ask her to
marry you, then if she is already
bound she will tell you so and have
one more scalp to boast of. Other
wise, some cruel man would swell,
of course, if you are already engaged
l won't ask you." And the dear girl
