A Terrible Shock to Friends of

The entire community was
greatly shocked Yesterday after
noon when at O clock DR. S P II
Elwell, the widely known and
justly popular Methodist minister
and devoted Confederate veteran,
expired suddenly in this city ia
Nelson & Pugh's barber shop, on
Main street. DR. EIwel had but
short three. quarters of an hour
before, after dining, left the resi-
dence Of MIR James + Williams,
on Bull street. On his way down
street to the barber shop he met
many of his Columbia friends,
stopping and greeting each. He
was in apparently perfect health
and was unusually cheerful. He
entered the bar Der shop and in
pleasant way greeted Nelson, who
was his favorite barber when he
lived here. Then be took seat
to await his turn. In a few mo-
ments Nelson heard sound as if
some ono was 'hoking, and
glancing around he saw somettin
WAS wrong with DR. Elwell. He
sprang to his side and supported
him, Mr. A Nj Meetze doing Likes
wise on the opposite side. A boy
was sent across the street for DR.
Thomas, the dr. lggist, and some
hartshorn. Before he had half
crossed the street DR. Elwell was
dead. He did not utter word.
1t was manifestly a stroke of
apoplexy, and came with the sud.
denness Of an electric shock.
DIR Elwell had arrived in Col
umbia at noon from Charleston
over the Atlantic Coast Line. The
doctor bad come up to deliver an
anniversary sermon to the Knights
Of Pythias ut the Washington
Street Church tonight, and attend
the Pythian anniversary banquet
tomorrow night. OF course his
death annuls bot of these events.
DR. Elwell was about SO years
of age. He was born in thst por-
tion of Sumter county which was
taken away and now forns the
county of Clarendon. Or Elvell
was ut the time of his death the
beloved pastor ofthe Spring Street
Methodist church, in Charleston.
He was for four years the pastor
of the Marion Street church here,
but was transferred from Colum.
bia about six years ago. Hs
leaves a widow, a son, Mr. VIM
q EIwell, an unmarried daughter,
Miss Anna, in Charleston, and =
married daughter, the wife of the
Rev 5 + Stokes of Denmark.
The son is at Packsville. The
widow last night wired from Char
lesion asking that the remains be
sent to that city at 7:1O O'Clock
this morning. This will be done.
Mr. Stokes will be here at 5 q M.
Mr. ElwelI was devoted to the
CAUSE of the Confederacy. He
entered the army at the outbreak
of the war, and in May, 1868,
went to Mississippi with the
Twenty third South Carolina and
served under Joe johnson. In
the battle of Jackson he was bad-
ly wounded, losing his lett arm.
Then he was taken prisoner and =
long period of suffering in prison.
ers hospitals followed. Finally
he escaped and was long time in
southern hospitals before he re-
covered. Under the title of
"Recolections of War Times, in
1895 he wrote the story of the
battle of Jackson and his exper-
fences, and it is an inspiring little
volume.

Irascible Won DuIow.

During Hans Won Bulow's leader

tenor Of fame was engaged to play a
star role in Il hengrin," according to
Das Neue Blatt, and while the singer
was rehearsiug his part Bulow was
forced to go over the same bars a num-
Der of times without the new actor
beginning to sing. Tired of his wasted
efforts, the leader stopped the orchestra
and angrily turned to the singer
Il know that a tenor is proverbially
stupid" he said, "but you seem to
make an extensive use of this unwrit-
ten law"
AZ another time. while one of his
grand intermezzos was being played
with great feeling by his musicians, a
peculiar noise, hardly perceptible by
unframed ears, annoyed the leader for
some little time. At first be thought
it rrsrmhcd the fluttcr of wings. but
soon he discovered an elegant lady
fanning herself in one of the boxes
close 10y. Buow kept on with his ges-
lures, fixing his eyes on the offender
IN q manner which meant reproof. The
mdl. not needing this, was suddenly
surprised by the leader dropping his
stick and turning toward her,
"Nadamr' he cried. "if fan you must.

we made the trip in chairs slung on

That's how | met my tiger. With a

doubt fo carry me into the dense I'M

Fortunately for me | had big bot

Cycling In Normand y.

The roads in Normandy are splendid
for cycling, the only disadvantage be-
Ing that the straightness of many main
routes hides the beauty of the country.
i1r which reason it is often a good
plan. when time is not an object TO
N.auut the byways on the map. This

eject Of Fear on wounds.

THE fear of poison in lacerated
,.ound under certain circumstances is
IN itself quite sufficient to give a
wounded man tetanus, or lockjaw,
tran which no more horrible compiled
tiop exists. Thus for a long time it
,-as thought that the natives of the
S,Iomon and other neighboring is
lands lately added to the empire used
,,oisoppd arrows and many white men
sbot by them died in tetanic convul-
Sims including one very horrible case
II a commander in the navy who had
made a special study of tetanus.
A. length the French governor of
Npw caledonia, noticing that the symp-
INNS exhibited were not consistent
with the use Of any known poison, APP
poiutcd Il medical commission to in
auirc into the affair. when it was dis
covered that the arrows of the natives
were not poisoned at all, although CON
struefed in such way that small
piprc Of the bone point almost always
remained IN the wound. The irritation
produced BY this prevented the wound
from healing quickly, and the mental
disturbance produced by fear and per-
haps change Of climate did the rest.
II was discovered at the same time
that the natives of other islands who
firmly believed in the poison theory
seldom suffered much Inconvenience
from the arrow wounds, because they
believed that the spells given them by
their own sorcerers prevented the poi
son from taking effect.-Pall Mall Ga
