ELEPHANT ARTILLERY
.,, Nr vorIv Droee

From the New York Press.
 In England's Indian army the heavy ar tillery means much more than siege guns or the permanent guns of Qualifications. It means the elephant artillery-a corps of heavy men, heavy elephants, heavy bull locks and heavy guns and ammunition. The guns, which have a long range, are just the kind that would have proved in- valuable in South Africa But the heavy brigade as yet never has had a chance of distinguishing itself.

RICH STUDENTS AT VALE

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 The rejection of a poor student by three fraternities at Yale college is taken as a notice that the clique of rich mems sons means to intimidate every Yale man with demonstration of their power to make or unmake students social career"
 The rejected student is described as a man of fine ability, leader in scholarship, a speaker of talent and an athlete He is the assistant manager of the football elev- en, fact which makes more glaring his rejection by the societies. No prospective manager of football team has ever be- fore been so treated.
 No college can afford to tolerate snob- bishness of this sort. Yale men say that the root of all evil in that university is the favoritism of a class which has got the upper hand. There is no surer way of destroying the usefulness of the institu- tion

Armstead of Mobile, at the Nor mandie last evening" "He and his friends have just made an investment in timber lands and prospective manufacturing plants which will amount to one or two million dollars before they are through with 1t. He has purchased the largest standing in the state. He not only intends to cut it, but to manufacture the timber in the cities of the state. We are very glad to receive such an enterprising citizen and naturally think the former secretary of war the proper sort of a citizen"

IS MONEY EVERYTHING?

Six verses from clever satire on modern society in The Smart Set for May, It is not worth that makes the man; It's wealth-deny 1t they who can! 'Tis love for its alchemtc ray That leads society astray It can't afford to snub such man Built on the millon-dollar planl
 It only waits until it learns What you have not before 1t spurns. No wretch, if he has wealth galore, Is kept long waiting al the door. It's wealth that gilds and furnishes; It's wealth that scandal furnishes; It's wealth that causes all our woes: It buys us friends and buys us foes. We pay a fee when we are born, And when from earthly life we're torn, When freed from wearing care and toll, We pay for just six feet of soil In which to lay in peace away The still, cold form of crumbling clay. Then yours, o Riches, be the field, For to you all the virtues yield. When men despair your smiles to win They call you, goddess, root of sin,'' Yet if you but glance bestow, How quickly all their maxims go! Twas envy of your power alone That seated virtue on throne, Where she is viciously abused. AnQ WneTG Ter SCGplTt llGS uHuSeu. Society's a funny thing;
 From ennui always suffering Its matrons take up every lad, And folly unto folly add. They initiate embrage joys; The clog dance, with it's dirt and noise; The skirt dance, with its pretty hints; The walk-done in gauge, not chintz, And what may be, not what it should Why, that's the very thing that's good. Truth hides her earnest radiant face From nearly all the present race, For she is naked, and she knows That people judge you by your clothes Though scanty raiment is the rage With women on the social stage; But Falsehood, always richly dressed. Is welcomed, courted and caressed, The very man who stands before The people, with the precious ore Farewell farewell, Society.
 You queen of notoriety.
 You jeweled impropriety,
 You mother of variety
 And breeder of satiety!
 Farewell oh, aristocracy
 You network of hypocrisy.
 Of vice the wealthy patentee! Farewell to thee. farewell to thee.

From the New York Press.
 Broken hearts are just much aids to the devil as they are to religion.
 If you give a man time enough he will get up an excuse that will go with wo- man for anything.
 In every mans marriage there is a some other woman who ought to have been there instead of the one that is.
 Every woman who has a parrot that swears and hired man that chews and drinks has just so much less use for a husband.
 After a man has got to a certain age without getting married, the women say of him that it is because he has a dead love in his heart. If it is another woman, they say it is because she never had a chance.

Wholesale SampIIng of Strong Drinks.

A state rum shop has unpleasant features, even if it be a fnanieal and moral inno- vation. For example, the board of state dispensaries in South Carolina have just published an advertisement in which they invite distillers and liquor dealers to sub- init bids for supplying an entire state with drinks during the quarter ending August 51. The combined drinks of a state are repre- scented in hundreds, yea, thousands, of bar rels. But quality rather than quantity seems to be the deslderatum. The state | dispensers say:
 As it is necessary to establish uniformity in value of grades denominated as Ks, the following scale must be observed by bid ders: The actual minimum intrinsic value x Rye must be not less than.. ..S1 45 Of xxx Rye, not less than... =. ... 156 And Of xxx Rye, not less than... 195 For X Corn we will pay not more than S1.41, and will accept bargains in good liquor at a less price, and XXX Corn, Peach and Apple Brandy must grade in value not less
 than S1.G5.
 X Gin must grade att. M 40 XX Gin must grade at... =. =. ... ... 156 And Rum Gin must grade at... =. =. 14o
 All this is, of course Greek to The Age Herald and it's readers; and pardonable curisoity leads us to inquire if the state dis pensers are expected to personally ''X' all samples submitted There has always been a keen demand for places on the state board, and as there is no mention of a sampler, it is reasonable to assume that the membership of the board are expected to throw themselves into the breach, as it were, by doing their own sampling. The board has a clerk who may perhaps be per mitted to sample the gin or beer samples, for beer is still drank in South Carolina, and is within the dispensary law. All sam pies are to be sent, charges prepaid, to the board who will after June sit in Columbia not stand-to sample all samples that the express companies may bring in. In the meanwhile they are probably training their palates up and their stomachs down to the task in sight The Age-Herald does not pretend to speak officially, or to have any inside information It judges the task by the usual and customary standards, and it stands appalled, by it's magnitude. The drinks of an entire state, when aggregated, are indeed enough to appall even in sam pies the stoutest stomach. In this state it is done in some cases by counties, and in other cases by the shop and the consumer.

JUSTICE COURT CASE
In Which Allegations Are Made That
Records Were Tempered With.

Judge Lindsay admitted about a dozen
aliens to full citizenship this afternoon
and then took up the hearing of the case
of the State ex rel. Kennedy Furniture
Company VS.. j. NJ. Lewis, justice or
the peace at Walkerville.
The action is one In which 1t is alleged
that the record of the justice was tam
pered with after judgment had been
rendered in the suit brought by Katie
Myers VS.. the Kennedy Furniture Com
pany. The sut of Myers VS.. the Kennedy
company was decided on July in favor
of the plaintiff, Mrs. Myers. The amount
involved was $70.05 and the justice rem
dered judgment for $45.05, but $70O5 ap>
peared in his docket. He states in an
affidavit that while the figures in his
docket showed the judgment had been
rendered for the full amount it was
clearly clercal error and should have
read S45.05.
When the attorneys for the Kennedy
company learned of the condition of the
docket they petitioned the district court
for a writ of review, basing it upon an
allegation OF irregularity on the part o;
the justice.
At O'Clock the hearing was still in
progress.

A MISUNDERSTANDING.
Two Theatrical Companies Claim Dates
for Tonight at the Grand.

Through some unfortunate mistake,
which nobody seems willing to explain,
two theatrical companies claim the same
date at the Grand opera house. and both
are booked for tonight with no prospect
Of settlement without an appeal to the
law.
Frank Tannehill's "A Young Wife,"
and the Brownies in Fairyland" are the
two companies which have become mys-
teriously mixed up. Mr.. Tannehill
claims to have a contract with Mr.. Sut-
ton for four nights, but Mr.. Sutton
claims that a mistake was made and
offered to transfer Mr.. TannehiH to the
Sutton theater, but the latter declined to
entertain the proposition.
The Brownies manager has been
in the city couple of days endeavoring
to make some kind of an agreement by
which his show could be given at the
opera house tonight. He seems to hold
the top hand, however, for he stated to-
day that he had the key to the opera
house in his pocket and would open up
for business tonight.

Candidates r. S. Hogan and c. F. Kelly,
aspirants respectively for the seats now
held by Governor Smith and Congress
man Campbell. They had the misfortune
Of running counter to "A Breezy Time,
at the opera house, a populist convention
at the court house, and general apathy in
the minds of the people but stlll the
meeting was well attended.
Mr., Hogan was the principal speaker
and threw some very thinly-veiled, odor-
Gus sharp thorned bouquets that proved
false the charges made that he had sold
his paper the Montana Sentinel at Hell
ena. The Livingston Post was the ac-
cuser, and the editor, who was in the au-
dience was publicly roasted. He called
up the shades of the past and the spirits
of the future to witness that he had new
er offered the paper for sale. Incidently
he destroyed imperialism, trusts, militar-
ism and a few other hydra headed mon
sters chief and foremost among them be-
ing the fusion democracy of the Helena
convention. He dug up the graves of the
fusion democracy's ancestors; he scat
tered the ashes to the four winds of the
earth, trampled them under foot and in
all this did them scant justice according
to the light shed on them by the glowing
lights of independent publicity.

enne pepper, salt, carbolic acid and few
