Shameful to Whistle.

"Nowhere but in the United States and
England do men and boys whistle in pub
lie with shame" said a traveller the other
night, who is on his way around the world
for the third time "1n France l have
heard men hum on the streets, and in
Germany and Russia I have even heard
them sing, but not even when they are
intoxicated will these foreigners whistle
as We do 1t is odd that we should have
this habit. 1t is common to the wealthy
and high born among us as we'll rs to the
poor and lowly. Only the other afternoon
l saw young man, who aims at exclu-
siveness and has valet, whistling Dolly
Gray on Chestnut street as loud as he
could. Here and there some one smiled
slightly at him, but he attracted no undue
attention, whereas, had he been in Paris
or in St. Petersburg they would probably
have locked him up for a lunatic. The
japanese and Chinese never whistle. All
those whom | have met do not know how
and they can't learn. have been inform
ed, as matter of fact, that neither the
japanese nor the Chinese language has 4
word for whistling."- Philadelphia Re

True and Should Stand

One day recently President Elmer II.
Capen, of Tufts college, was addressing
the Massachusetts Dental Society and eX-
planned his lack of techinal dental nomcn-
clature, expressing the hope that if, on
this account, he made poor speech, it
would not be assumed that he always
made poor speeches. In making this
point he told nautical story.
"The mate of a certain schooner" he
said, twas in the habit of drinking more
than was good for him. On one occasion,
after he had recovered from an unusually
severe attack Of intoxication, he was look
ing over the log and found that the cap
tain had inscribed therein on certain
date;
"'Mate drunk
"The mate promptly went to the cap
tain and asked why such statement had
been written down.
"'It is true, isn't it?' asked the captain.
"Yes,' said the mate.
"'Then let it stand,' said the captain.
"a few da, later the captain in look
ing over the log found this inscription
Captain sober He summoned the mate
and asked him what he meant by taking
such liberty.
Its true, isn't it? asked the mate.
"'Yes,' said the captain, 'but--'
"'Then let it stand,' said the mate"

A Candidate for Lynching.

FLORENCE, August 19.-Liney Cook, a
young white man, assaulted and attempt
ed an outrage on Miss Bella Lynch, near
Effingham, in this county, last night, and
to-day Sheriff Burch is after him with 4
warrant Mr.. A. j. Lynch, father of the
young woman, came to the city to-day
and issued warrant for Cook, charging &
him as above.
The facts are last night Cook, who is 81
years old, called on Miss Lynch, who is
Just 16, to drive her to Bethany Baptist
Church, few miles distant. After service
the young couple were returning home,
when Cook made proposals, which the
young lady refused. Cook then began to
use force. Miss Lynch fought him and was
badly used up. In this condition she
Jumped from the buggy and ran into the
woods. The night being dark, and Cook
being unable to leave his horse, she soon
hid in the underbrush. Cook then drove
off hurriedly. Shortly afterwards she
heard other people coming from church,
and she rode home with them and in
formed her father of the trouble.
Search was instantly made by the father
and neighbors for Cook, but he had left
the neighborhood. Every effort will be
made by the sheriff and his deputies to
capture the assailant. Miss Lynch is Of
one of the best families of the county.
Cook is of good family, and his actions
last night are unaccounted for.

Drowned While Swimming.

ANDERSON, August 19.-Victor G. Wilson,
son, of the Rev. J. B. Wilson, presiding
elder of Greenville district, NJ. E. Church,
South, was drowned on Saturday after
noon in White Water River, in .Jocassee
Valley, in Oconee County, near the North
Carolina line. He was in swimming with
party and was evidently seized with
cramp and carried under by the swift
current. He made no outcry and his COM
panions did not know he was in any dan
ger until he disappeared under the water.
His body was not recovered until Sunday
afternoon and was brought here this af-
ternoon. The funeral was held in st.
Johns Methodist Church, services being
conducted by the Rev. j. B. Campbell, the
pastor, assisted by the Rev. G. p. Wilson
and the Rev Mr.. Stackhouse, after which
the body was laid to rest in Silver Brook
Cemetery. Mr. Wilson was 21 years of
age and had recently graduated from
Wofford College with high honors and
gave promise of a useful life. He had
been in Jocassee only a short while with
his mother and sisters spending few
weeks in recreation.

Latest Literary News.

The sale of thousands of copies of ten
cent magazine at one dollar piece was a
very curious happening at the time of the
Chicago Worlds Fair. The Cosmopoli-
tan prepared Worlds Fair number, con-
tributed to by many famous writers, and
so thoroughly illustrated that it surpassed
even the most expensive book which had
up to that time been issued. In those days
the magazines was printed from two sets
of plates only, and when these were worn
out it was impossible, without a great loss
of time, to put further editions on the
press. The newsdealers, taking advant-
age of this condition, raised the price of
the Cosmopolitan Worlds Fair number
to one dollar copy A few sales were
even made toward the close at the phe-
nomenal figure of five dollars. Undoubted-
ly this happening is unique in the history
of magazine literature. The Cosmopoli-
tan will endeavor to repeat its past sue
cess, with a Pan-American Exposition
Number, which will be even more attract
i've, if possible than it's Worlds Fair pre-
decessor.
The most famous writers of the country
have been invited to take part in the
preparation of this issue. After many
days careful study of all the wonderful
scenes of the Exposition, more than a
hundred photographs have been prepared,
which, taken as whole, give thorough
conception of the marvels of this Exposi-
ton.
1t is doubtful if any book, selling at
forty times the price of the magazine, will
give any description of the Fair which
will approach in interest and artistic
value the September Cosmopolitan.
Those who visit the Fair will preserve
this number as delightful reference-book
in the years to come, and those who are
unable to 60 there will secure such COM
prehensiYe view of its main attractions
as will be we'll worthy of preservation.
