A Novelty for Gentlemen.

Some men are as particular about
their clothing as the fussiest Of women.
They object to anything being folded
or pressed down by the weight Of ether
clothing. They do not Like to have all
Of their clothing hung in the closet by
wire hangers. Such a man recently
had a clothes case made to order. his
tailor furnished the proper measure
ments Of all his clothing to the cabinet
maker who constructed it
This case had to be long enough to
contain his winter coat If he should
take a notion to keep it In sliding
section, and other compartments were
no deep drawer-eyerything was a slid
ing shelf, with just enough room FOE
one article and paritioned of to 1T
The shirt slide bad three partitions, 80
that they could not help lying in order.
This allowed Of the shirts being drawn
out one at time. The slides were all
shallow, about three inches deep.
There were special places for each
article Of underwear, cuffs, collars,
neckties and hose and Jewel boxes and
toilet articles compartments. There
was q big front board, which opened
down like the lid Of a desk and formed
e shelf, on which things could be laio
and sorted out preparatory to being
placed in their proper receptacle.

passed that Of Colorado. Terre Bsute

a mob took from its jail prisoner who
had killed white man, dragged hin
through the streets, beat him to deatt

and children jostled the man to get {

A BAGGAGE CAB BURNED The
baggage car to Southern Railway No.
6, from Columbia to Charleston, was
discovered on FIRE Wednesday morning
just after the train had passed Riley's.
The fact that the train was in motion
gave the fire Admirable opportunity to
gain headway, and by the time the
wheels had stopped almost the entire
roof to the combined car was mass Of
flames. All Of the baggage was thrown
to the ground and tie entire crew and
passengers called into service. Water
finally was cotton from the engine and
: portion Of the csr saved. After a
delay Of about forty-6ve minutss the
train went on to Charleston. The roof
to the car was badly damaged. It is
supposed that q spark from q stove
within the car was the cause Of the
blaze.

Paid The Penalty.

A crowd Of nearly ten thousand peo-
pie saw the execution of Chi Sin aud
Hsu Cheng Yu, who where beheaded
at Pekin Wednesday in accordance with
the demands OF the powers. The mem.
bers of the various delegations were
conspicuously absent, feeling that If
they we're present they might seem to
be gloating over their fallen adversaries.
Every power, however, was legally re-
presented by military officers and sol
diers and also a staff officer from each
foreign power. The condemned men
met death stoically. In each case one
blow severed the head from the body.

country needs most today is q
soul stirring, genuine revival OF
true and undefled religion. 1t
is needed from Maine to Texas

also believe that such a revival
is coming in the next few years
at most. God speed it.
