Death in Denmark.

DENMARK, July 16.-Rev. Paul F.
Kistler, a pioneer of Methodism, died at
his home near this town, Saturday after
noon, $50 o'clock. Around his bed were
his entire family and quite a number of
friends. For ten days previous to the end,
Mr.. kistler was on rapid decline:
physical vitality seemed to have run its
last lineage of life support. The messenger
of death has called Soldier of the Cross,
whose name will ever be to those who
survive him, an exponent of typical
character, of devout Christian.
Fifty years 4 preacher of the Gospel
bears evidence of the life of service the
deceased has left behind him. Every nook
and corner of Sonth Carolina has in time
past heard this gifted preacher.
He was ;lman of wonderful energy.
No task, once undertaken by him, was ev-
er riven up, until it was complete sue
cess. The abundance of energy displayed
i'm his life was spent wholly for his Mas
ter, vet through economy and sacrifice he
has left for his family L nice little home.
His life is a model to us for its fine type
of citizenship, and model to his Con-
ference for the extraordinary accomplish
ments of life Of service.
Mr.. kiStler was a fine conversationallSt
and possessing the power of narration as
he did, it was Il treat to sit down and
talk with him. He had in store Il rich
supply of humor, pathos and tragedy,
which clustered around his recorded in
cidentS of personal experience.
His recollection of early MethodiSn
was in itself charm to the lover OF
church history. The unrccorded scenes
of the Civil War held Spell-hound the in
ouiring student. Probably no one will
ever surpaSS Mr.. kiStler in the rare gift
of entertaining children.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. H. B. Browne. The pall-bearerS
were: Reverends Stokes. Wright, Hook,
Beckwith, McFarlane and Mr.. Dibble.
On account of very heavy rain, the
funeral procession did not reach the
church until about seven O'Clock Sunday
evening. 1t is to be regretted that the
services were SO hastily concluded rs the
occasion promised to be very impressive
The life of the deceased was worthy OF
all the eulogy his associates could bcstow
\ large congregation was present. A few
moments at the church and the body was
taken to the cemetery. Just as the lonG
procession reached this silent city of the
dead, the sun shot forth its last ray, anu
soon all was darkness. The latcneSs OF
the hour made the last moments most
solemn.
A great man has passed away and ;
rrcat soul has aSccndcd to its Lord.

Aduantage of the Start.

William NJ Cvarts seldom met his match. but Harpers tells how he once found 1t in Senator David Davls MT. Evarts wa sd mere skeleton of a man, while Mir Davis, who weighed upward ot 300 pounds, was blessed with circum- ference quite as great as his length.
 The two Senators were perpetuallN twittlng each other in fun, and one night at dinner Mir, Davis said: >.-
 If you will let me choose the course l will guarantee that with three yards start l can beat you in race of 100 feet"
 Every one at the table laughed and said Take him up. MT Evarts.
 The challenge was accepted, and MT Davis was asked when he would race, to which he replied that he was ready at once. The whole party then adjourned to the course chosen by Senator Davis.
 This proved to be an alley between two houses just three feet in width and one hundred feet deep. He stepped into the mouth three yards. said Co., and walked through quite leisurely
 Mir Evarts could get neither past him TOT under him. and he called MT. Davis back to the street and acknowledged that the joke was on him.

Letters to The Editor.

Editor The Advertiser.
 Not only myself but all the friends Of MT. Edward M. Cornell, who was recently shot by negro at Wares ferry, are not satisfied with the impressions that the publications in The Advertiser have ere ated' on those who do not know all the facts, I will give brief and true state ment of the affair asi related to me Dy MT. Cornell himself, who is one of the best men and as good citizen as this or any other community possesses. No man who knows MT. Cornell will for one mo- ment doubt any statement he makes.
 MT Cornell's statement to me Is as fol- lows: Upon arriving at the ferry with the funeral procession no one was present to put the party across Repeated calls brought no one. Then MT. Cornell got in a row boat and went across the river and to the house of the ferryman and re- peatedly called loudly f'pz' him. Receiving no response he repaired to house near by and asked a negro woman where the ferryman was. Her reply was that the regular ferryman was not at home, put the man who always attended to the fer ry in his absence was in the house MT. c. said he was not as he had called him loudly and frequently.
 She then said she knew he was In the house and to go and call again, which he did. Then the negro sul4Sily answered
 Mr., Cornell being fretted at the delay of the funeral party caused by the negro 5 action, exclaimed why in the hell don't you come and put the party over?' The negro then said: Don't you curse me or I will kill you" At that moment for the first time MT. C. saw the negro, or rather saw his head just above the window sill and his hand with a pistol in 1t through the partially open window. and before MT. Cornell could think he felt sting and heard a report and the negro dropped back below the window and disappeared in the house from his view.
 He then called the woman beforemen- tioned and told her to go over to MT. Dave Johnson's for his ferryman to put the party crossed Mr. Cornell, though desperately and painfully wounded stood guard over the house till MT. Johnson and MT. George Welch and Wm. Harwell came up. MT. Johnson asked MT. Cornell who shot him and he replied that negro in the house.
 MT. J. insisted that MT. Cornell should at once go to the city for treatment. MT. Cornell declined to do so till the funeral marty was put over. Johnson assured him he would see to that and that he and his party would arrest the negro. MT. Cornell and the ferryman then went to the r1ver' Soon after leaving the house MT.

KAssoN TREATIES.
afraid That Tariff Agitation Will Disturb Existing Conditions.

Washington Special to New York Even-
 ing Post.
 What almost amounts to an official ad- mission that the reciprocity treaties are dead and that there will be no tariff re- vision. comes from Senator Cullom at the very opening of Congress.
 Tt begins to look now as if the treaties would not be ratifled,' said he today.
 As chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Cullom would have charge of the fight for the Kasson treaties, and, by all precedents he should be the most optimistic man in Congress. It behooves a general to take hopeful view of a battle, but MT. Cullom's read mess to Tie down" before the battle has begun shows that the kasson treaties are many times dead.
 "I am in favor of tariff revision" the Senator continued. "I think certain alterations might be made in our sched- ules which would help our increasing markets abroad l believe this revision should be made carefully, and by Repub- licans. but I do not think the Republi- cans in Congress will see 1t in this light Many persons will fear that if the tariff question is once opened 1t will lead to wholesale readjustment and such thing would tend to unsettle business. Manu- lecturers and shippers become uncertain as to what is to happen to the goods in which they are interested, and they curtail their orders and cease to make large contracts pending the action oi Congress This fact leads many mem. bers to conclude that it will be best te let the whole matter alone. The Demo crats are opposed to any moderate change. so. with the Republicans divided there is not likely to be any action!
 50 much for general tariff revision Now. as to the reciprocity treaties:
 The California Senators tell me they are afraid of the Jamaica treaty; they think it would get in some fruits in com. petition with theirs. The Connesticut Senators tell me they are afraid some industry there is going to be hurt if tho French treaty is ratified The Maine Senators have local interests which must be protected from competitors, and so 1t goes In half the States of the Union there arc interests which think they are going to be hurt if the treaties are rati- fled. The consequence is there are enough Senators to make a combination and defeat all the treaties Perhaps 1t is early to say just what will be done; but it looks now as if the treaties had very little chance" F.

PHILIPPINES AS COLONIES.

Oemocrats Tn congress Outline
 Policy of Opposition.
 Washington Special to Baltimore Sun.
 A number of Democratic members of the House. together with Senator J. K Jones. Chairman of tho Democratic Ma tional Committee, and several Demo- cratic Senators, were entertained at din ner last night by Representative Francis G. Newlands of Nevada.
 Questions of party policy were dis cussed. and, as a matter of greatest im- portance, the course to be pursued with reference to proposed Philippine legis- lation was considered in detail. The policy is expected to be that of opposi- ton to all legislation looking to the gov ernment of the Philippine Islands as CO., as well as disapproval of any recogni- tion of them as an integral part of the nation. It will be held by the minority that the Philippines cannot properly be considered as colonial possessions subject to laws different from those of the rest of the country and to discriminating tar in duties; that, as a matter of policy, it is not wise that they should be incorpor- ated into the national system. and that therefore they should be given independ- ent self-government It will be held that the. insular people are not Americans and are not of that class calculated tc | make good Americans. It will be con tended that the peoples of the variou. islands are not and never have been ir sympathy with the form of government now operated by the United States and that 1t will be impossible to effect any. thing like genuine concurrence in the views of government held by our owr people.

that the negro had escaped. MT. Cornell after seeing the funeral party put across proceeded to Montgomery.
 Mir. Cornell was not indifferent to the arrest of the negro, but left word with his friends to spare no pains to that end. Every effort was made but so far nothing has been heard from him. It seems that an impression was made on some from the reported interview that MT Cornell knew what had become of the negro with the intimation that his friends had Host" him and that Mir Cornell was satisfied. Nothing was further from the fact MT. Cornell had no knowledge or desire that the negro should be lost" but was anx- ious that he should be arrested and brought to trial for his dastardly and uncalled for act. Please publish this in justice to MT. Cornell
