to eliminate the negro from the new or.
ganization and draw into 1t men from
the old. by distributing among them the
federal patronage placed at his disposal
The old line republicans. who were
utterly ignored, charge that the Nc
Laurin appointees were all personal
friends. and that the senator in select
ing them had an eye single to his own
reelection next year.
More familiar with the situation in
South Carolina than the powers at
Washington. the republican leaders at
Charleston have protested to the ma
tional republican committee against
placing the patronage exclusively, in
Senator McLaurin's hands. This protest
has had the desired effect, inasmuch as
it was necessary to insure republican
representation in the next presidential
year. The McLaurin process of filling
the federal Offices in South Carolina
would result in the dispersion Of = the
present republican party in that state.
1t is now decided to divide the patron
age. reserving to the old line republicans
several Of the best positions at Charles
ton. They are gratified at this settle
ment of the matter, brought about by
the national committee, but Senator Nc
Laurin's state of mind is not reported.
AS a statesman. animated by the patrl-
otto purpose of improving the economic
conditions of the south by urging upon
his countrymen a change of political
front, he should not sweat any i'll blood
over the loss of a few offices from his
gift box

MERE RUMOR.

Oh. the gold and purple sunrise Is lovely
thing to see,
When the radiant east with waking light
is glowing.
When the happy songsters carol IN each
dew bespangled tree,
And the rooster his shrill clarion is blow
ing.
There's a magic fascination in the fast
approaching sun.
And the rugged outlined mountain Peahs
that serene 1t.
There's a glory in a sunrise that Will charm
the dulleSt one
Into rapture-so I've heard-Tve never
seen 1t.
There's a solid satisfaction in life of
abstinence.
From all things that tempt the appetite
abstaining.
Terrapin. champagne and frog legs look
to you like cents,
When your life on wholewheat biscuit
you're sustaining,
Nothing in the earth or heavens can stack
up with such a fare,
Nectar and ambrosia are but nat oesloe

It is glorious-rve heard-Tve never

Virtue. toll. and seifdenial always BRING
their own reward.
Eighteen hours Is too short u day tol
labor,
Man is happiest when working at jot
SO good and hard
That it couldn't be accomplished b. his

Souls are frightened and cnnobled by
unfiagging industry
And a prize Is best enjoyed by those

eument that the mining interests should
be considered as equally important with
those of agriculture cannot be made to
justify the congressional legislation
which many enthusiasts regard as fair
and feasible. Mining receives at pres
ent from the geological bureau the same
scientific assistance in the exploration
agriculture does.
No doubt this work would be accelec-
ated and extended greatly under a min
ing bureau, but the separation Of the
meteorological from the geological re-
searches Of the government would be
difficult. Not all of the geological work
pertains to mining, yet it Is so init
mately related in many of it's phases as
to be almost inseparable.
Other complexities arise in the matter
performed by the treasury department.
and the administration Of titles vested
in the interior department. In the one
case the work of the director Of the
mint, and in the other, that of the COM
missioner of public lands, would be COM
plicated.
The veXing questions of mineral Local
ton require legislation rather than ad-
ministration, and the problem of uni
form taxation, on the basis of net out
put, as solved in Montana, is one that
concerns state and not national govern
ment.
Viewed from all sides, the idea of
creating a minister of mines is repellant.
Not so with the proposition Of a min
lister of commerce and industry, fox
whom many new and desirable functions
of administration could be prescribe l.
A bureau of mines and mining might
we'll be included in this department, as
mining is an industry of growing COM

For a number of years the f1remen have
had a grievance. They say that the city
of Bozeman. through it's representatives
have refused to grant their requests for
better apparatus with which to fight fire,

appreciated and that the time has come
when some action must be taken either
one way or another. and so at the last

Old Err Jokes, But Worth Smile.

At a small gathering the other night
somebody started the egg joke a-roll-
ing.
did you ever hear the story OF the
hard-boiled egg?" he solemniy IN
ouired of some one across the table.
"No," was the innocent answer.
"1t's hard to beat" said the joker
with much gravity.
You can't help smiling at these
things, and after the laugh died down
somebody sprung this:
Did anybody hear about the egg IN
the coffee?"
mo" said an obliging somebody.
THAT settles it," replied the fun
ny man blandly.
OF course there was another laugh
and then a brief silence. 1t looked as
il the egg jokes had been exhausted
But presently little woman at one
end Of the table inquired in high
soprano voice If anybody present hao
heard the story Of the three eggs.
The guests shook their heads, ant

Almost REMARKABLE MEDIUM.
The Pers onaIity of Mrs. Piper, Whose

Revelations Have Astonished Science.
Mrs. Piper was slender, Ialr-halred
young woman of about twenty-five
years of age, refined in appearance ana
bearing; on the Goth Of June, 1884, she
was the mother Of a child six weeks
old, her husband being employed in
large store in Boston, says Mary Bios
som in Everybody's Magazine. There
had been no acquaintance with spirit
ualism ia her own family; but at this
date her husbands father and mother
persuaded her to visit healing
medium to ascertain the cause OF some
ailment, which proved to be tumor
afterwards removed. In the presence
Of this medium, on second visit, Mrs.
Piper became entranced and passed
under control"
This was naturally very startling to
Mrs. Piper's family, as on neither side
had anything Of the sort occurred be-
fore. She comes of healthy English
stock, her grandparents on Nth sides
having had twelve children ann died OF
old age: and though the younger gem
Grafton had been less robust, they had
shown no history Of insanity or nerv-
Gus disease.
Outside the trance state, Mrs. Piper
is known to be kindly young matron
of very simple tastes. She is concern
ed with few matters Of public inter
est; says that she should be glad II
her trance state should be explained.
She is considerably interested in mat
ters of dress, and an English acquain-
tance describes her thus: "In London
she expressed no interest in public
buildings or the park, but preferred
little shopping and the attractions OF
Bond street"
After DR.. Hodgson became interest
ed in her, the Society for Psychical
Research took complete charge OF Mrs.
Piper, caused herself and her family
to be carefully watched, and deter
mined that it was impossible that any
charge Of fraud could be maintained
against her. She has now been under
the most rigid surveillance and COM
plete investigation for a period OF over
fifteen years, and it has been proved
beyond a doubt that whatever eXplana-
tion shall be given Of her powers, that
of wilful deception Is not possible.

ed party. The combatants were placed
fifteen feet from each other. The Of
hcers silently formed in two lines, on
the right and left Of the duelists, and
the colonel gave the word.
Trouillefou was the first to fire. His
pistol carried no bullet. He staggered
as though already wounded. Fontalne
could now forgive. But his moral feel
ing had given way under the pres
sure Of bitter sarcasm. He calmly
leveled his weapon, fired, and Trout
lefou fell, with a shattered Skull.
There was a cry Of horror. The spec
tators rushed toward the dead duelist.
But before they reached him, Fontaine
was at his side. He dipped his hand
in the blood Of the dead officer, and
with that blood washed the cheek upon
which he had been struck, eXclaiming:
well, gentlemen, do you think the in
suit sufficiently washed away?" Then,
running like a lunatic, ne disappeared
in the forest, and was seen no more at
Nantes. Years afterward he was dis
covered in a monastery at Rome,
where, under the religious name OF
Fra Pancrazio, he was still praying
for the remission of his sins, and for
the eternal salvation of the man
whom he had killed.-San Francisco

A Remarkable Duel.
How a cod.fearing Soldier Wiped
Out an Insult.


The duel between Count Boni de
Csstellaae and Fernand de Rodays.
fought in the Pare des Princes in Paris.
IN which the famous editor Of Figaro
was wounded, recalls a tragic duel
which occurred at Nantes in 1853. and
Is graphically described by Maurice
Mauris.
Oliver Fontaine, lieutenant in a
light-infantry regiment stationed
there belonged to an old Toulouse
family. His mother, to whom he was
devoted, had educated him in the most
orthodox fashion. He fulfilled his re-
ligious duties in the regiment as reg
ularly as though he had been tied to
her apron string. The Bishop of
Nantes, who in his youth had been a
cavalry officer, used to say that Lieu
tenant Fontaine would have made
better bishop than himself. He was
good and amiable companion, as well
u q loyal, active, and dutiful soldier.
He was idolized by all his fellow-of-
Acers excepting one - Lieutenant
Trouillefou, who owed his commits
sion to the Revolution Of 1S48. Trouil-
lefou was a perfect type Of vulgarity
and ignorance, and a declared enemy
Of all that was noble. delicate, and re-
dned. He continually boasted OF Q
slight wound rAceived in hght at
the barbados. In his eyes there was
no glory beyond that gained in revo-
lutionary wars. Like most ignorant
men. Trouillefou wanted to pass rs
learned man. His historical blunders
we're without parallel. One day
while the glories Of the French army
before the Revolution of 1889 were be-
Ing discussed by a group Of officers
seated at table OF a cafe, the name
Of Marshal SAKE was mentioned.
What do you talk about?" inter.
rupted Trouillefou. Marshal SAKE
Vas not before the Revolution" The
officers looked at each other In aston.
ishment. Don't you know that he
vas killed at Marengo"
True" Fontainc replied; but a
I Marengo the name OF De Sake wa:
pronounced Desaix."
/ From that day Trouillefou's hatred
for Fontaine increased. He never
missed an occasion to insult the re
hgious feelings OF his comrade. III
called him canting priest, q nun. ant
similar names. Fontaine for TIM
bore good-naturedly these idiosyn
cfacies, but at last requested
Trouillefou to stop them. Trouillefo'
complied with the request, and Fon
