Quito an interesting story has been dc
yclopod by tho return to tho penitcntiary
of John Stuckey, white convict, from
tho Scarborough farm, in Sumter county.
Stuckey was convicted in Spartanburg
about year ago Of killing j. G. SERVER,
who was a clerk in his store, and owing
to the prominence of the parties, th.!
case was in many respects a sensational
one. Stuckey was found guilty of man
slaughter and sentenced to twenty years
imprisonment. lie is said to DC quite

cording to tho story, rs related by the
penitentiary authorities, Mr. Scarb ?
ough is II man who contracts for con
victs as laborers on his farm. 1t ap-
pears that ho was also relative of
Stuckey, and when ho got his last batch
of cOnvicts he asked that Stuckcy be in
cludcd. Not knowing of any relation
ship existing between the two men, lie
was turned over to Mr.. Scarborough. 1t
was later reported to the authorities that
Stuckcy was not being used as Il convict,
but was really having Il pretty good
time. 1t is alleged that he was actually
boarding with Mr.. Scarborough and pay

tho superintendent of the board of di-

Our expenses on military account have

explains: Congress at it's recent ses-
sion appropriated Sll4 4,220,005 for tho
army, S7,57d, $50 for fortilicati ons, $685.
OSO,9lG for the navy, $li5 ,245, ,23O for

and 81, l,5l3,72l for additional deticien.

items in the account, run our military
bills for one year up to the enormous to-
tai Of $3l3,3l5,7l7. Neither Russia,
England, Germany nor France spends as
much money on military account this
year" And the next Congress will
have to meet another deficiency" on
account of the row in China. The big
ger the better. The best way to make
the people understand what the policy

New York, after spending week in

sailed for New York from Plymouth
yesterday on board the Hamburg Amcr-

interview previous to his departure Mr.
klopSch said the mortality during the
wet season in India was just commence
ing and must assume Stupcndous pro-
portions, outnumbcring the total Of the
deaths during the past six months from
all causes. Unless 20,OO0,000 blankets
are quickly provided the monsoon,
lndia's greatest blessing, will prove ap-
pallingly disastrous, and, Mr.. Klopsch
also said, the mortality will exceed two
milli onS. lie further asserted that 80
per cent of the cattle in the richest
farming districts have pcrishcd.
MIR. klopsch is thoroughly satisfied
with the methods adopted in the distri-

his last acts in India was to buy 100, 900
blankets for the sufferers.

To EXtcrminate + IS Scientifically.

of the Pasteur Institute, of Paris. This
scientist has found a microbc which will
produce deadly pestilcncc when intro
duced into population Of rats and
cause their annihilation, or, at least,
make them negligible quantity. The
bacillus in question was derived from
field mice suffering from Il spontaneous
epidemic disease, and by elaborate pro
cesscs of repeated cultures was trans.
mittcd through a series of mice and
rats. In this way its virulcnco was in
creased, and it was found surely patho.
genie for the rats when eaten. I'm addi-
ton to the experiments in the labora-
tory, trials were made in a large number
OF farms, warehouses and other places
infested by rats. 1t is reported that in
30 per cent of the experiments there
was complete Disappearance of the
rats, that in 30 per cent their number
greatly decreased, while in 20 per cent
the method failed.

JESUS FOE OF EMPIRES
so DECLARES MOSES e. CLAPP IN
LECTURE.

AT the Park Congregational church last
night, under the auspices of the Men, $
league of that cong es alton, Moses r.
Clapp delivered lecture upon the sub
ject, Christianity and Its Relation to
History" to a most appreciative audi
ence. At the conclusion of his remarks
Gen. Clapp was the recipient of earnest
congratulations from his hearers, and
Rev. Alexander McGregor, pastor OF the
church, declared from the pulpit that it
was the most unique lecture upon the
subject which he had ever heard.
Gen. Clapp first showed that those ma
tons, in the primitive ages, Which were
without Christianity contributed no part
in the great struggle for political liberty
and that man had to attain to politi-
cal liberty before ne gould develop ex-
tensiVe powers as an intel. ectual and sp r
1tual force in the nation of which he was
a part.
He then analysed the Prophecies and
showed their relation to subsequent his
tory of the world. The underlying bought
OF the prophecies, he declared, was that
Christ and the religion which He would
establish were to be the force which
would break the continuity of universal
empire and destroy the power of despot-
ism and the influence of a despotic ruler
IN this connection Gen. Clapp asserted
that from the birth of the Babe in the
manager at Bethlehem was witnessed in a,
sslow but sure process the gradual de-
Yelopment of that power which finally
sarose as the conquerer of universal do
mlnion. He said that after the over
throw of the Roman empire there had
been and there never would be estab-
hshed another universal empire
In the mind of the speaker. the church
mad stood for over 1000 years the sole
barrier to the ambitious designs of men
like Charlemagne, Charles and Louis, to
establish universal dominions He in
sisted that while the church was unal-
terably opposed to the attempt at this
universal dominion, it was, at the same
lIIne' edScating mankind to resist the ag-
erosion of monarchicaI power. This 600
years during which the church had been
SO active in its Stubborn resistance to
these influences he termed the seed time
ana said that people were now reaping
the harvest Of this grand political liberty
