mantlC circumstances.
The marriage of Professor Jerome l..
Kenyon and Miss Joab Brooks, at the
residence of Mr.. John Joiner in Dawson
last Saturday afternoon, was the conclu :
sion of pretty little romance that ha d
its beginning in the schoolroom.
Professor Kenyon is principal of Berry
Academy, four miles east of Dawson, and
Miss Brooks was his assistant, the two
having taught at that place several
months.
Viii lie they were laboring to teach the
young pupil the principles Of multiplied
ton and to instill the rules of English
into the youthful mind, and while the
said pupil not over assidiously applied
himself and almost vainly endeavored to
grasp these obtuse subjects. Cupid en-
tered and the teachers the mselves be-
came pupils. They advanced in their
essons so rapidly that they deemed
| themselves tit to graduate in the school
of the SLY little god, and the last degree
was conferred upon them at the time
and place above mentioned.
The happy young couple resumed
their duties in the schoolroom Monday
morning. They both have scores of
| friends who extend to them hearty con-
| gratulations and best wishes.

TIE CUBAN CENSUS.
It Makes an Admirable Showing
for the Island.

Gen. Sanger Thursday made public
the compendious results Of the Cuban
census taken under his direction. The
total population Of Cuba is /, 572, 797,
including l5,205 males and 757, ,592
females. There are 447,3 ,372 white
males and 1852, 1926 white females Of
native birth. The foreign whites num-
Der 1l5, $50 males and 26, 45s females.
There are 1888 male Negroes and
l22,740 female Negroes. The mixed
races number 125, 500 males and l45,-
305 females.
| OF the fetal population Of the island
1,118. 709 persons are set down as single,
24S, ,35l as married; while 131, ,7s7 live
together by mutual consent. There
are IS, l12 widowed persons.
OF the total population according to
citizenship, 20, 478 are Spanish; l, 1885,
3s7 are Cuban; US, 81 are in suspense;
79, 52s are OF other citizenship, and SIG
are unknown. The Spanish by birth
number 129, ,24o. OF the children Of
| 10 years Of age and over, 49,414 have
attended school. OF the total popula-
ton 443, ,426 can read and write and
19, 158 have superior education.
The table on citizenship, literacy and
education is specially important as
| forming the basis Of suffrage about to
be conferred. Because 60 many citi-
zenships are still in suspense, and for
| other reasons, the returns are not quite
| complete, but the conclusion is drawn
| that there will be st least 114,000
qualified native Cuban voters under the
proposed basis Of suffrage, and against
this there. will be 5,767 Spaniards
whose citizenship was in suspense
when the census was taken, less the
number who have since declared to
preserve their Spanish citizenship, and
plus illiterate Spaniards, not declared
who are the owners Of property. It is
not believed that there will be any
great number Of the latter class, as the
total number of illiterate Spanish males
over 81 is only II, 426. The coupaa-
son shows much greater preponderance
Of Cuban voters than was expected.
There are 1877, 1926 white adult males
who were born in Cuba ss against 96,-
0e3 born in Spain; s, 794 born in othe.
countries and III, 300 colored.
Males are in excess in the total popu-
lation, except in Santiago, though the
female whites outnumber the male
whites, exceptin Pinardel Rio. Amozg
she Negroes and mixed races the females
are in excess; while among the foreign
whites the males are largely in excess.
The Negroes are in the minority In
Cuba, constituting only 80 per cent. OF
the population, being the most numer-
GUS in Santiago, where they constitute
43 per cent. The native whites con-
stitute more than ons-haH the popula-
tion, or SO per cent. The proportion !
Of children under 5 years is unusually |
small, but the proportion under 81 is
normal; about one-haH Of the popula-
tion. Only l5.7 per cent. Of adults
were married. Nearly nine-tenths Of
the inhabitants were born in Cuba.
Nine-teaths Of the children less than
ten years Of age do not attend school;
forty.tbras per cent above ten years
are iiterate.

he said, in discussion Of the law Of
nations by his attorney general, Ma
bani's mastery appeal, are the pro-
ducts Of the Asiatic mind. The sena-
tor fully justified the Filipinos' action
in resisting the American force.
AS to what he would do with the
Philippines, Mr. Hoar said:
"Declare now that We will not take
the islands to govern them against their
will"
"Reject a cession Of sovereignty
which implies that sovereignty may be
bought and sold and delivered without
the consent Of the people.
Require all foreign government to
keep out Of these islands.
"OSer the Filipinos or help in main
tanning order until they have reason
able opportunity to establish govern
ment Of their own.
'Aid them by advice, if they desire
it, to set up free and inependent gov
eminent.
Invite all the great powers of Eu-
rope to unite in an agreement that that
independence shall not be interfered
with.
Declare that the United States will
enforce the same doctrine as applicable
to the Philippines that We declared as
to Mexico and Haiti and the South
American republics.
'Then. in not distant future, leave
them to work out their own salvation,
as every nation on earth, from the be-
ginning Of time, has wrought out its
own salvation"

ToLBERT IS BoUECsD
Was Charged With Storing Liquor in
the Custem Eouss.

Presidents Mckinley removed John
3. Tolbert as Collector Of the port Of
Charleston and appointed Robert NJ.
Wallace, Of Sumter, as his successor.
Tolbert was removed on the reeonmen-
dation Of Secretary OF the Treasury
Gage to the President.
This action is taken upon the recent
report Of government agents in which
it was shown to the satisfaction Of the
secretary that Tolbert and other Off
cials and employees Of the Charleston
custom house secreted liquor in the
building for illegal purposes. Wallace,
it is said, will dismiss the deputy col
lector and at least one janitor and pos.
sibly2otherf, who are alleged to have
had q hand in the storing Of she liquor.
The clerks who are presumably inno-
cent Of wrong doing will not be dis
turbed.
A dispatch from Charleston ssys the
removal Of Tolbers caused little sur
prise there. April lsta special agent
Of the treasury department, acoonpan-
led by several dispenssry oonstables
searched the Charleston custom house
for contraband liquor. Twenty-nine
10-galon casks were found aad evidences
showed they had been dumped into the
drain. The case against the collector
was strong and upon the report Of the
special agent Tolbert was removed and
Wallace nominated to the position.
Tolbert twas never recognized IN
Charleston except officially by tbs peo-
pie there being sesszdea-sss unfit in
every vsy for any position Of impor-
tance or dignity. his removal will be
distinct relief to Charleston. Wal

PECULIAR CASE.
a Negro Boy Found In the Sick Cham
bsr of g Lady.


A case Of somewhat sensational favor
was heard before Magistrate Smith ii
Columbia On Wednesday. As re.
ported in the Evening Record, the
facts are are as follows: Richard Nesl,
alias Robert Jackson, colored, who
claims Charleston as his home, was
charged with burglary and attempt to
rape. The warrant was sworn out by
j. F. Sanders, white, who lives nesl
the Southside Baptist church, in the
mill district.
Mr.. Sanders said that at 8 o'clock
Wednesday morning he found the Ne
gro, who is not much more than boy,
in his wife's bedroom. She has been
quite sick for the past week or two and
is very feeble. Mr.. Sanders was sleep
ing in the same room and had frequent
ly to get up to administer to his wife
medicine. he kept a lamp brightly
burning in the room. Shortly after 2
o'clock be gave his wife medicine and
fell over in his bed and nuss have
slept more soundly than he expected
to do. His wife aroused him and told
him that some one was IN the room
BE arose and, finding the light cut,
was much alarmed.
BE grabbed for the match box, but
didn't End it in its place. In the
meantime in the dark he caught the
Negro by the arm, standing near his
wife's bed. Finally, striking match,
he held the Negro, Who did not in the
meantime Of any resistance. Mr. San
ders said he heard some people jump
Of the piazza and that his 6rst inten-
ton was to kill the boy; but, remem-
bering his wife's feeble condition, he
refrained from doing 60. BE called in
several neighbors and took the boy to
Jail.
The boy did not deny being in the
house, but said that he had been made
drunk by TWO white tramps whose
names he did not know. He attempted
to describe them to Judge Smith, but
his description was not perfectly clear.
Sanders and his friends said that they
would look out for such men as de-
scribed and if they were found they
would be brought before the magistrate.
The boy is only about IA or 10 years
old, but, according, to Mr.. Sanders,
there can be no doubt as to his inten-
tions from the circumstances. he was
sent to isil to swat trial.
