1t IS very important that discrimina-
ton should be used in introducing people
to one another, for an undesired intro
duction compels the person to whom it
Is unwelcomed to treat the other with
the greatest GOODNESS. or to continue an
undesired acquaintance. As a general
rule, 1t Is better to introduce too little
than too much for ones friends can ask
one to Introduce them to one another,
so that one,s shortcomings In this re-
spect may always be made good. Should
the smallest doubt exist as to whether
a meditated Introduction will be agree
able, one should consult the wishes Of
both persons concerned before introduc-
ing them.
The unvarying rule In making an In
PRODUCTION is that the gentleman should
be presented to the fady. This is a PRIV

FOUR NEW CASES.

Victims of Smallpox Epidemic are In
creasinE in Number.
DR.. Monroe reported four new cases
of smallpox yesterday. Austin Flan-
nagan came from Anaconda on Sunday
and that night stopped at the Cash
lodging house, according to his own
story, and last evening he called at the
office of DR.. Monroe and asked to be
examined. The doctor saw at a glance
the man had smallpox and summoned
the pest house wagon and had him re-
moved to that place.
A. L. Kennedy, living in the rear of
Main street alley. was discovered to be
suffering from the disease and was also
sent to the pest house.
Mike Casey, n boarder at the Silver
Lake hotel, and a man named John
Kelly, who was found in a house in
South Butte, We're two more victims,
and both We're removed to the pest
house. Kelly is also a recent arrival
from Anaconda.
A man who gave his name as r.
Smith was found sick in room % of the
Bennett block. As his case was sus-
picious DR.. Monroe was called, and he
at once pronounced it case of small
poX. As the man had means and re-
quested not to be sent to the pest
house, he was removed to a cabin out
side the city and a nurse employed for

boarding house. From there he went
to Sheriff Regans house and at the
door met the sheriff and his wife, who
were just starting out to spend the
evening at friends house AS soon
as the sheriff was apprised of the facts
he started out to find the murderer,
and his wife went back into the house
few minutes late Gilman appear
ed at the sheriff's house and asked for
that officer. He told Mrs. Regain that
he had killed a man and desired to give
himself up to the sheriff. Mrs. Regain
volunteered to accompany the man TO
the county jail, and together they
went. At the Jail the lady turned her
charge over to Jailer Martin Pishkur
and returned to her home. There were
no deputies in the office and Mr. Pish-
kur held short conversation with the
murderer long enough however to
learn he had killed a man.
Say. partner, I want to give myself
up to the sheriff." said Gilman.
He is not in now" the jailer said
We'll, I guess I'll go out and find
him. was what the jailer got, and the
murderer walked out, saying as he
walked away that he wanted TO get a
drink.
Evidently the jailer got his second
wind then, for as soon as the man was
out of sight, Pishkur started out after
him. He met Captain Leyden and Ser
@eant Walsh at the corner oc Alaska
and Granite, and these officers asked
him if the murderer was safely behind
the bars of the jail, and the reply they
got knocked them off their feet. Pish-
kur FASTENED on up Main street and
went down to Deeney's saloon at the
foot of Hamilton and met Gilman COM
ing out of that saloon. He was in com
pany with Murphy. They had been in
for a drink and were returning to the
Jail BY the time they reached the Jail
the sheriff and a number Of police Off
GERS had arrived there too This time
Pishkur locked the man up without
saying anything. and the sheriff went
into the jailer's office to have a talk

"Squarely in the heart" was the re-

"Oh, no; I guess not said Gilman,

certainly have hit him there" Then
he smiled like demon and remarked
with as little concern as it is possible
for a man to affect: "Well, that's so:
the heart is on that side too, come to
think of it,
What did you shoot him for?" asked
the sheriff
We'll, OH / never mind; that will
be determined later" answered he.
The ball was of A caliber from a
Smith & Wesson revolver. There was
but one bullet out of the chamber. 1t
entered the breast just above the heart
and came out under the right shoulder

the room.

A cold blooded murder marred the re-
ligious solemnity of the festival of
Christmas. The day had nearly passed
into history and not a cloud fecked the
| serene horizon. It was not, however,
Ito be a day devoid of horror, for Ed
Gilman took the life of brother min
er, Dan d. Sullivan.
The murder occurred at the Duggan
boarding house in Dublin gulch As
evidence of the cold blooded premedi-
tation, after the fatal shot was fired,
the murderer coolly walked around to
another part of the house, told friend
that he had killed the ---, and then
walked down to Sheriff Regans house
to give himself UP. And as further
evidence of the mans cslloused heart
he informed the Sheriff at the jail, in
reply to a question as to why he COM
mitted the crime, that the reason for
1t will be determined later"
After supper in the boarding house
last evening Gilman and a man nam
ed Murphy went into a room adjoin-
ing the boarding house and engaged

ried A Smith & Wesson pistol in his

on table, while he wrestled with Muir
ply. After their exercise the two men
engaged in debate on the merits of
the several holds used in wrestling
matches. Then Murphy went out of
the room, which is used by the miners
as change or drying room, a place
where the miners clothes are chang
ed for the everyday street clothes.
Presently Sullivan went into the dry
room and then Gilman and he began
what proved to be their last quarrel.
1t was developed that the men had
more or less animosity toward each
other for Il year or more.
Its - strange that you fell

go around telling that they sell beer

spoke Dan Sullivan, and Gilman evil

nificancc to the assertion. Probably
there had been a report to that effect
and may be Gilman had been accused
of circulating the report, and it might
be that the words coming from Sulli-
van, directed toward Gilman, meant
more than the average man would
spoken than the leaden messenger of
death crashed through the heart of the
man who uttered them.

- An incident of the celebration oil

appearance on the blackboards of all
the schools of the late B. H. Hills
famous eulogy of the great Confed-

the eulogy on the blackboards was
that the children might memorize it.
It is as follows: "He has a foe with
out hate, friend without treachery
a soldier without cruelty, a victor
without oppression, and victim with
out murmuring. He has a public
officer without vices a private citizen
without wrong; neighbor without

Money Question.

The house coinage, weights and

other purposes.
The bill provides in substance that

cans, and marched his men on the en-
campment of the Montana regiment.
The American sentries, in obedience
to orders, gave back to avoid trouble.
The Filipino lieutenant refused to
halt. Lieutenant Jansen, in COM
mand of the American guard, demand
ed conference with the leader of
the Filipinos. 1t was necessary to
send for General Otis before an under
standing could be arrived at. The
Filipino lieutenant sent for his captain,
and the captain assured General Otis
that the movement was made without
authority. Finally, the Filipinos were
induced to retire; but the incident
developed to the Filipinos that the
Americans, for some reason, are not
disposed to fight. The Filipinos have
issued several proclamations calling
upon the Americans not to fire upon
them if ordered to do so; but to fire
over their heads. The masses of the
natives are being instructed that the
Americans will soon abandon the
country.

THE SCHEDULE.

"Is there nothing that can be done
to induce the Carolina and North
Western railroad authorities to give
US schedule that will insure con-
nection with the northbound Southern
at Chester ?" asked much concerned
citizen of the reporter on Monday.
II can think of nothing" the re-
porter answered.
"Well, would it not do some good If
The ENQUIRER would raise kick
about the matter?
"Not bit of good, sir. Although
the grievance of the people of York.
Vile and other York county towns
along the road is just one, all pro-
test seems to be without avail. As
stated last week, the excuse of the
railroad people used to be that they
could not control the situation between
Hickory and Newton; but now this
trouble no longer obtains, and what
the excuse these days is has not devel-
oped. We don't get any connection ;
I know that"
swell, didn't York county give this
road more than 100000 to build it9'
ayes; but that has been gobbled
and the management has forgotten all
about it. That is not ours now."
"But don't the merchants of York
Vile give the road considerable freight
patronage?"
81 understand that the Carolina and
North Western now gets over half Of
the patronage at this place. For a
long time, when this road was so per-
sistently unaccommodating, most of
the business was diverted to the other
road but during the time that the
Carolina and North Western has been
fairly accommodating, patronage has
gradually drifted back to it."
"And what are we to do" conclud-
ed the gentleman, in genuine dis
tress. "This early morning mail is Of
more Importance to us in a business way
than the freight and passenger traffic
of either one of the roads, and because
of connection broken at Chester by
only few minutes, we are forced to
suffer all this inconvenience. 1t does
look as if there should be some help
somewhere"
Really, there ought to be some help.

DENIES THE CHARGE.

There has been a story in circula-
ton in this section for several weeks
to the effect that Lizzie Gore, who
was sent to the penitentiary for life
for completely in the murder of old
Ben Gore, died sometime ago. But
it seems that the story is untrue. Liz
zie herself denies it.
While in Yorkville last Saturday,
Senator Love referred to the rumor and
explained that he had ascertained the
facts. The senator is a member of the
penitentiary committee. He said:
"I called the attention of DR.. Pope
to the story and he promised to make
inquiry for me. After investigation
he reported that Lizzie Gore was alive
and we'll. She desired DR.. Pope to
extend her kindest regards to her
York friends, and to say that her name
is not 'Ibby' Gore; but Miss Lizzie
Gore"

THE IRISH POTATO.

In the north and west, the Irish po.
tato is as standard an article of food as
is hominy in South Carolina.
Everywhere throughout the north
and west farmers seek to raise Irish
potatoes, even if they raise nothing
else.
There are hundreds of people in
South Carolina and York county who
are fond of Irish potatoes, and the
taste for them is not difficult to culti-
vate.
Our own people prize potatoes high
ly enough to be willing to buy them at
the rate of $l.25 a bushel. They can
be raised in York county and saved
through the winter at cost not ex-
ceeding so cents a bushel. Then why
is it our farmers continue to allow the
importation of potatoes from the north
and northwest?

not thought that her condition was
at all critical. Upon the death OF
Mr.. Barron she was overcome with
dependency, and as . the funeral
cortege left the house on last Sum
day, she was seized with con-
gestive chill from which she never
rallied. Mrs. Barron was native
of Alabama. Her maiden name
was Miss Mary Lapsley, and she
was married to Mr. Barron 25 years
ago. She was a most estimable lady
who gave all her time and thoughts
principally to her family and her
church, which was the same as that of
her husband. At the time it was nec-
essary for THE ENQUIRER to 60 to
press, the hour for the funeral had not
been fixed; but it will probably take
place this, Wednesday, afternoon.
