From the Washington Star a re-
markable story is told about some
labOrerS finding a number of gold
bars while eXcayating for a building
some years ago in California. The
gold found by those men was worth
$250,000, and quite a pen picture has
been made by the writer over it's dis
pOsal While eXcavating, SO goes
Ethe story, an Italian found a gold par.
- wanting his companions to know
the find, he hid the same and con-
nued digging. Soon he ran on to
another bar, and continued to find So
many that he could not keep the Sc
cret, and so the wOrkmen agreed to
divide the gold equally among the
AfYe, which was done, and keep
mum. They were quite sue
cessful in getting the gold
away and concealing the same, and
after it had been sold and the money
divided among them they spent it
according to their own inclinations.
The old adage, however, that
stolen gold brings to its possessOr
bad luck" seems to have been the
!. ate Of those men. One Of the men
bought a $4,000 farm, and in less
than five years time lost the same
through speculation. The Italian fur
nished up a home in Oakland in the
most elaborate style and, strange to
say, in five years time he had lost
every cent and was again a pauper.
The third man squandered his entire
findings in gambling houses. The
fourth man was no more successful
than was the third, while the NTH
ten years thereafter died a pauper
and was buried in the potters' field.
According to a report of the Secre-
tary Of the Navy, the following bat
tleships will soon be ready for naval
services: The battleship Maine will
be completed in October, 1902; the
Missouri in March, 1903; the Ohio in
May, 1903; the Virginia, Nebraska,
Georgia, New Jersey and Rhode Isl
and i the summer of 1904. The
armed cruisers Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, Colorado, Maryland, CaIifor-
MIA and South Dakita in August, 1904.
When these battIeships and cruisers
shall have all been finished the Uni
ted States will rank among the lead
ing naval powers in the world, and
perhaps it can be truthfully said
that she will be the ranking naval
power.

REALM OF
RELIGION
Among the Worlds Christians
and Quasi Christians.

A general convention of the Uni
varsalist churches held in Buffalo in
October made two radical changes
in the makeup of their convention.
First, the body was made more
Democratic by increasing it's size and
adopting new principles; and sec
Ondly, by abrogating the law requir-
ing any creedaI affirmation as a con
ditiOn of fellowship.

The problem Of settling up the
Northwest territories is again agi-
tating the minds of the Canadians
While a few Americans are leaving
the United States and settling in
the British possessions, the number
is so small that it can hardly be
looked upon as a migratory move. and
there are a very few families, com
paratively speaking, who leave the old
country and settle in Canada; but, on
the other hand, hundreds and thou
sands are finding homes in the Uni
ted States from all of the European
countries The average Canadian, re-
aliZlng this, has grown restless over
the outlook, and is appealing to the
home government to send out Eng
lish, Irish and Scotch and any other
nationality it can, to begin to settle
up the farm lands in that country
During the present year, according
to Canadian statistics, but 49,162 set

THE Indifference Of so many citf-
2ens to their civic duties, resulting in
corrupt municipalities, venal Iegisla-

ment to selfish ends; the disregard Of
the Lords day; the inevitable CON
neCtiOn between the futile attempt
to destroy civil authority by foul
murder Of the individual magistrate
and the still more futile attempt to
dethrOne God by denying all religious
obligation; the reaction from Puri-

the theater to the indecent toIera-
ton Of disgusting spectacular sensa-
tionalism and to the Odious desecra-

Of Sabbatarianism by Decorating it

Recently Bishop Potter strongly adj
vised the clergy against interfering
in politics, as it was contrary to the
religious teachings of all Christian
churches. More recently however,
Bishop CrOsland Doane, Of Albany,

the things enumerated which the
clergy should preach about was poll

cisco, Cal, a letter was drafted and
sent out to all Of the Episcopal
churches, and the same was read in
most of the churches Of New York
on Sunday, November 10th. Abiding
to municipal politics, the letter has
this to say: The failure of a cfti-
zen OF republican government to do
his duty in the endeavOr to elect hon
est and true men as the officers Of
that government is the earliest pOliti-
cal manifestation of this perniciOus
life. The selfish Indifference which.
governed by disgust, is content that
the city or the state shall be given
up into the hands of the least reput-
able people in it, rather than do vail
ant and painful battle to preserve the
ballots purity and honesty of official
administration, this is the tiny germ
which grows into the vigOr which
threatens our very social life The
citizen who first selfshly refuses to
do his civic duty, and then, in natural
descent along the easy path becomes
the giYer of bride and the corruptOr
Of his fellows, is himself degraded
more and more in the process, and
the bottom is found when civic rights
and civic righteousness are alike
gotten, when duty to his neighbor no
longer demands performance, when
protection to weakness, the equality
of freemen, the conservation of hon
esty, are no longer the ends of gov
| eminent, but only the securing Of
peculiar privileges for a class, the
comfortable enjoyment OF a protected
license; when duty to man is forgot
ten because duty to God is denied"

one is Thanksgiving Day and two Sat

There are, however, two more import
ant measures to be introduced; the
CONSTITUTIONAL amendment bill, (which
comes up in the Senate today, and the
congressional redlstricting bill, which
will probably be introduced today or
Wednesday. The Soldiers Home bill
and the Atlanta depot bill are near the
foot of the calender, and to that ex-
tent are in danger. The question of
using the public property fund to pay
interest on the bonded debt will prob
ably come up this week, as the Bla-

ted a determination to fight this as
well as the depot measure, land some
interesting sessions are yet in pros

ADDRESSES AN AUDIENCE HERE.
Mr.. Dupont Query Made Speech at
City Hall.

The address of Mr.. Dupont Query,
one of the several aspirants for the gu
bernatorial nomination, at the city
hall at noon yesterday was listened to
with much interest by number of his
friends and supporters in Sumter.
Mr.. Query was introduced by Mr..
r. L. Maynard and for and hour dwelt
upon the issues preclpitated into the
campaign. His speech was very large
ly the same as delivered at other
places and dealt moress particularly
with prohibition and the railroads,
though other questions at issue were
touched upon as well. Mr.. Query
thought the time had come for the
state to get rid of the saloon, and urg-
ed the prohibitionists to remain true
to their principles. He paid particu-
lar attention to the railroads and
showed, from his standpoint, how they
failed to shoulder their proportionate
part of the tax burden. His speech
throughout commanded close atten-
ton and made favorable impression
upon his hearers.

attendance upon court was not large,
though the courtroom was comfortably
filed when the grand jury filed in,
after having organized and elected Mr..

charge of the court. This, as usual
was strong and explicit, Judge Little
john charging fully upon the duties
devolving upon that honorable body
and laying special stress upon viola.
tions of the local option laws. Such
violations were explained at length and
the jury fully advised thereupon. The
charge was, as usual, very fair and
able one and created most favorable
impression. During the remainder Of
the day the court was engaged in max.
ing up the docket for this week and
dlsposing of such cases as were an.
nounced ready for trial The grand
jury was likewise busily engaged until
p, M, in the consideration of a big
batch of bills drawn up and sent to
that body. The grand jury is made ur
of Sumter's most excellent citizens and
some good work can be counted upon
at their hands. Judge Littlejohn will
devote all of this week to the consider.

Through Trains Will Go On Sunday
Night Next,

For quite time the Seaboard Rail-
way authorities have had in oontem-
plation the addition of through night
trains on this division, between Savan-
nah and Montgomery. A well anthem
ticated rumor was current yesterday
to the effect that this service would
certainly go on next Sunday night.
Through passenger trains, carrying
Pollman sleepers, will be operated on
this division if the service goes on as
now contemplated. The train for Ea-
vannah will pass Americus at midnight,
while the flyer for Montgomery will
pass about a. m. In the event this
service is established it is probable
that the "shoofy" train east, out of
Americas, will be taken off, which
would be greatly to our detriment.

CHASED A FOX TWENTY MILES.
Pack of Hounds Unaided Caught a
Big Red.

Among Capt. M. B. Councils valued
possessions is a pack of nine fox
hounds whose musical voices have
been heard in dozen counties round
about as they made the welkin ring
while upon the trail of reynard. Tlr-
ing of inaction, and longing to join in
the exhiliarating sport, the dogs ran
away from Mr.. Councils plantation a
day or two ago upon little private
fox hunt of their own. Unaccompan-
led by hunter, the dogs swan Flint
river and inthe swamps of Dooly county
jumped a big bred fox. The animal,
chased by the dogs, swan the river to
the Sumter side and back again, the
dogs in full cry on his trail. After
thus swimming the river three times
the dogs finally caught and killed the
fox, unaided.
