Matter OF Courtesy.

A good story, which has the merit OF
being true, is told Of the late Lady
Howard de Walden. On one occasion
she had little wager with her neigh
Dor, Lady Emily Foley, based on her
firm belief that the rustics of Worces-
tershire were more polished In their
manners than those Of Herefordshlre
A fitting opportunity to solve the ques-
ton soon occurred. The two ladieo
went for an afternoon drive in pony
cart. Presently they reached a closed
gate, which was civilly opened FOR
them by a laboring lad. II am sure"
said Lady Howard de Walden, as she
gave the boy sixpence, you are a
Herefordshire boy" Thou beest a
loiar," replied the boy, "OTm q
Worcestershire lad" That settled

Psychologist, in journeying across
Austria on his way to the Oriental

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says an

his chosen profession, that of lawyer,
asserting that on but one occasion had

Experience in his native state, Virginia.
rhis happened in backwoods hamlet,
where the general ignorance of the in
habitants was some excuse for their
boorishness. In the course of his re-
marks he perpetrated an unconscious
bit of humor that brought smile to
the students faces and drew a laugh
from the speaker himself as soon as he
realized the suggestion in his state
ment. II started out in my profess
sion with somewhat gloomy anticipa-
tions," he said. when l reached
Alexandria, where there were 1000 COL
ored people, everything looked dark"
1t was at this point that the smile ran

Absent-Minded.

It was an electric car, and a man
was sitting between two women. The
man left the car, and as he passed
out an umbrella slid from the seat
toward the floor and woman NO. /.
She caught it. rushed to the door, had
the car stopped and told the conductor
to call the man back. The man, how
ever declined to take what was not his,
and so the good Samaritan, leaving the
watershed" in the conductors hands,
regained her seat. Meantime woman
No. 2, who had seen and heard the
whole performance, suddenly came out

Verdict Set Aside.

Anderson, Speclal.-The court
of common pleas which recently
adjourned tried several cases of
interest. The case Of Harris
against the Anderson county was
an action for $4,000 damages pro-
vided for by recent legislation
in cases of ]ynching. 1t seems
that Elbert Harris, a negro, was
arrested on the charge of arson
some time last year and was taken
from he officers anJl pererelJ
beaten. dying from the effect OF
the beating. AS in the Organge-
hurg case, the jury found for the
county, and his honor Judge Al
drich set aside the verdict and
granted o new trial. In justice
to the jury, however, it
must be said in some points the
case of the plaintiff was not made
very strong in the evidence.

Dynamite in Laurens.

Laurene, 8. c., Nov. 3.-At
about II o'clock last night a
tremendous explosion was heard
al over the city, giving a part of
it a thorough shaking up. A
cottage occupied by Mary Bridges,
colored, on the premises of DR..
James McCarley, was blown up by
dynamite, the object being to kill
the woman herself. She, however
smelt the fuse and escaped before
the explosion, but the house and
furniture. were very thoroughly
demolished. Only about month
ago an attempt of the same charac-
ter was made upon the life of this
woman, 80 she was alive to the
situation in time last night. In
the former instance, as in this,
she was out, the house alone being
damaged. Since the first attempt
she has moved into another part
of the town. The fuse usel last
nights said to have been three
feet in length. The police are at
work on the case and the guilty
party will find it difficult to escape
detection, as he did a month ago.
Public sentiment is very much in.
ceneed at the repetition of an
attempt at so outrageous a crime.
