EUROPE WILL NOT INTERFERE.

WARD TURKEY.

None of the European Diplomats Has
Even Asked Any QuestiOns-Gov-
ernment Does Not Anticipate In
reference From Any Third Party.
Not Stated Yet What the Next Step
VIII Be--Turkish Minister Is stir
Playing the Game of Delay.
Washington, April 2S-The United States
government has not received the slightest
intimation from any European nation of
disposition on its part to interfere in any
manner in the present dispute between
the United States and Turkey over the
American indemnity claims.
1t may also be stated on the best au-
of the European Powers in Washington
has requested the state department to de-
liver itself of any explanation of Its In
tention affecting Turkey. nor does our
government anticipate any interference by
third parties in this matter, so long as
our claims are confined to their present
perfectly legitimate basis.
All that can be stated by authority re-
specting Mr. Griscoms course at Con-
stantinople is contained In the general
declaration that he is pursuing instruc-
tions to insist to the Turkish government
upon a redemption of its promise to pay
the American indemnity claims.
Naturally, the officials decline to inti-
mate what steps will be resorted to In case
Mr.. Grfscoms request is denied. They
prefer to believe that the demand will
meet with success. The phase to be fear
ed is procrastination on the part of the
Turkish government; something harder to
meet than an unqualified refusal to pay.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Griscom is shap-
ing his representations to the Porte with
special reference to the avoidance OF this
pitfall

Food and Character,

That certain kinds Of food affect q man
mentally, morally and physically is well
known. 1t is by no means impossible that
porridge has contributed largely to the
characteristics Of the Scotch, that 1t makes
their men brave, brawny and shrewd, and
their women blithsome and bonny, and
their whole nation pious. A professor of
physiology insists that the inferiority OF
the Celtsis due to their universal use Of
the potato as the chief staple Of diet He
says that no man can live on potatoes and
amount to anything. An exclusive diet Of
potatoes has no doubt contributed largely
to many Of the characteristics Of the Irish.
Beef and beer through many generations
have no doubt had their influence on the
Englishman. They have made him stub
born, opinionated, self assertive and q good
fighter. His intellect, like his beer, Is both
strong and heavy, and not intrequently
Hinged with bitterness. The French, with
their notable variegated diet, are equally
whimsical In their minds This Is also
the case with the Americans, who have
perhaps the most versatile minds as well as
the most abundant bill Of fare of any ma
tion. We will not 60 30 far as to define
which is the cause and which is the effect,
but we insist that the diet Of the average
Londoner Is far from being the best for his
physical and mental health.-London Ho-

CharlestOn's Vote.

z, Cbarleston's vote yesterday must be very
gratifying to the people OF the State. The
ratification comes not SO much from the fact
that the city voted for McSweeney, but a
greater and other reason is to be found IN the
fact that Charleston may be disposed to align
itself with the people Of the State, instead Of
tbeing-as it has seemed to us in the past-ln
q combination with Columbia to defeat the
people. It now seems that Spartanburg and
Greenville are more or less disappointed at
Charlestons independent course. II com
bination between these cities Is effected with
a view to overriding the will OF the people. 1,
would be source OF regret.
Charleston can easily enough have the
goodwill Of all the people if she 80 desires
and does not go out Of her way to show hel
antagonism to the people.
There Is no good reason why Charleston
should vote against Tillman SO soon aftel
his able efforts In behalf OF the oity. Neither
Is there good reason why Charleston shoulC
defy public opinion on the dispensary ques
tion.

Whence the Acorn?

The male flowers of the oak ara gathered
in distant clusters round a long, swaying
stalk. They approach much nearer to the
conventional idea Of flower individually.
Instead Of being a mere aggregation of
anthers, or pollen cells, on simple scales,
those Of the oak are possessed Of distinct
starlike, hairy calxces, each marked off
into six or seven lobeS and containing ten
slender stamens, with two celled anthers
Then the female flowers, which are usual
ly two or three, near each other, but not
connected, consist each Of an ovary, with
three short curved styles, and invested by
q calyx that adheres closely to it and be-
comes the husk, or shell, of the acorn. The
whole, except the styles, is held In cup
formed Of many small overlapping scales,
which afterward lose their individuality
and shrink into mere roughness on the out.

POWER OF ORATORY.
Good Voice and q Fine Presence Count
For Much.

Good Voice and q Fine Presence Count
For Much.
1t is q fine thing that words have power
to burn and that in the flame Of eloquence
a deal of trumpery and stuffy notions are
readily consumed. 1t has been said that
genuine oratory is gone, but now and then
the spirit of the mightiest power that
moves masses Of men shows its everlasting
vitality in q notable way. With sincere
personal conviction to support him man
with good voice and that gift Of adding
phrase unto phrase which is indefinable
may enchain great convention, hold thou
sands of men plant to his thought and
feelings, or he may charm and cheer his
hundreds in banqueting hall.
The secret Of genuine oratory, of the sort
that moves and stirs all hearers to respon-
sive emotion, Is always to be found at the
center Of q storm of honest feeling on the
part Of the orator. 1t Is concealed In the
hidden places Of the interior life and Is the
more effective when its restraint Is shown
even in the whirl of impassioned words OF
noble marshaling Of phrase after phrase.
Private views and narrow contentious, per-
sonal wishes, never have a chance for ex'
position in oratory that moves men and
women. 1t must express large principles
largely, or its influence never remains, nol
has the fame Of any orator endured except
of those who spoke for the largest convio-
ton and desire of the mind Of man. -

Oddly shaped Spiders.

| The most peculiar spiders In the world,
as well as the largest ones, inhabit the is,
land of Sumatra. They are of all conceiv-
able forms and colors, and some of them
spin threads almost as large and strong as
the grocer's twine. Some queerly shaped
spiders have square bodies poised on long
red legs, and others have crooked green
and yellow legs which support heart shaped
bodies. One Of the very oldest Of the lot
has a body that looks like that of young
turtle, the "shell" having round knobs
and pear shaped projections all over it,

Suggestion to the Governor.

AS the Governor has not been able to
enforce the dispensary in Charleston TO the
satisfaction Of his enemies we would suggest
that he call on some of the Smart Alecks
who have been writing for the news.

would make one of them Chief Liquor Con-
stable and appoint for him a sufficient corps
from the other writer's In the newspapers they
might enforce the law to their own satisfac-
ton, and to the relief Of the Governor. Let
him examine the papers and select some OF
his critics TO aid him in the enforcement of
the law.

Governor McSweeneys record as the chic
executive Of the State has not been assailed
except as to the enforcement Of the dispense
ry law In city where grand Jurles refused tc
indict those charged with violations. In the
campaign he has been fair and square with
every opponent. he has sought to iDJure
nobodys good name. He has by assertion
or insinuation, assailed any body s good name
And he comes ont of the campaign with nc
smell Of fire on his his garments.
Having been so thoroughly endorsed by the
good people OF this State, he may be in the
field two years hence for other honors.

openinr OF the school.

- j sN-.k.t
The Abbeville High school win be- opened
next Monday. Scholars will be examined
this week. 80 - g..
Parents should see that their children get
an even start with all other children. TO lose
a week at the beginning, is to embarrass
scholar for the remainder Of the term, and
sometimes the disadvantage Is very great.
We have a good school, and we should MAKE
the most Of It. A good school is about the
most important institution that we have
and our people should sustain the teachers IN
their efferts to educate Our children.
ANY town that has as good q school as we
have is fortunate, and we are only surprised
that more people do not come to town from
remote sections, with view to educating
their children.
Each year the usefulness OF the school Is
extending, and the popularity Of the Super
,ntendent and his assistant teachers Is the
hast evidence of their good work In the most
important OF all lines OF endeavor.
