Beauty of Carriage.

A woman may have face as perfect
in it's classic outlines as that of a
Greek goddess, her figure may be
we'll proportioned, and yet she may
appear unattractive because she does
not carry herself we'll. Beauty of fea-
ture and form weighed in the balance
against grace and carriage is always
found wanting. My lady's gowns
may be modelled after the most ele-
CANT Worth creations; her chapaus
may come from the shop of Partisan
mililner, and yet it may be source
of ANNOYANCE to her that she does
not make as. smart an appearance as
the governess of her cnhildren. Why?
Simply because she does not stand
properly. The minute she stands lightly
poised on her feet, with knees straight,
chest we'll out, stomach fiat, should
ers back, and the body from the waist
fitting ever so lightly forward, she
has acquired a certain smartness of
effect that no amount of beauty nor
fine clothes could give. \ woman
can not stand correctly and look
slovenly. And yet how few wo men
do stand properly! An awkward pos
ture is the chief fault III the beauty
of American women who have passed
thirty. One must note with regret
settled figures and protuding abdo
mems, for it is the tendency of the
body to fall back heavily to the heels
unless there is some exercise to offset
the action. The springy step soon
becomes a thing of the past, and walk
ing instead of being a rhythmic fall
ing forward, becomes jerky up-and-
down movement. The abdomen from
that time begins to protrude unpleas-
antly and grace is lost.

The Champion Horse Liar.

Frank Ingram, negro, was tried
in the criminal court at Opelika, Ala,
for horse stealing, says the Anniston
Hot Blast. When placed on the stand
he told the following story, in an in
teresting MINER:
He said he was passing the stable
where the horse in question was, and
seeing the open gate he thought he
would shut it. He decided there was
no use to close the gate if there was
no stock inside, so he looked to see.
Seeing the horse there, he went to
fasten the gate and stumbled against
bride lying on the ground. He
picked it up and discovered that the
horse was following him, and the bri-
die caught on the horses head and
being one that closed with snap, it
fastened.
Realizing that no one would believe
that the bride would fasten itself, he
decided he would fasten the gate,
climb the fence and fee, this he did.
and the horse jumped the eight foot
fence and pursued him. He fed in
terror, and the horse ran him nearly a
quarter of a mile. Seeing. that the
horse was gaining on him, he got to
one side of the road and squatted
partly down to let the horse pass
without seeing him. The horse ran
between his legs and caught him on,
despite his efforts to get off.
When seven or eight miles from the
stable, ne says, the horse became con-
jured, and told him that he was going
to throw him off, which was done.
That was the last he saw Of the
horse.
He told the story in dead earnest
ness, while the court officers stood
with bated breath and gaping mouths
and listened with awe at the weird
story. The jury, having no case
against the horse for kidnapping the
negro, promptly convicted the negro
for thestrange ride.

THE CHINA INDEMNITY.

Washington, May 23.-Mr. Rockhill
has confirmed the news from Pekin tc
the effect that the foreign ministers
have declined to accede to the sugges-
ton of the United States that the to-
tai of the indemnity to be collected
from China shall be limited to $500,
900, 600. 1t is expected that the spe-
cial commissioner will continue his
efforts in the direction Of keeping
down the maximum of the claims even
while abandoning for the sake of har-
mony, the figure named and it is be-
leived the outcome will be compro-
mise upon figure between $500, 600,
600 and the maximum of 1887, 900, ,00C
claimed by the powers.
Until this question of the grand to-
tai is settled, the other questions as
to the rate of interest to be establish
ed upon the loan and that relative tc
the method of guarantee, are expected
to remain open.

THE MEDICAL COLLEGE BILL
Resolution Adopted by State
Board of Examiners.

Columbia, May 24,-State Board of
Medical Examiners adopted the fol-
lowing resolution in reference to the
refusal of graduates of the Charleston
Medical College to stand the examina-
ton:
AS the law relating to the practice
of medicine in South Carolina is be-
ing frequently ignored and violated,
therefore be it
Resolved, That we appeal to the le-
gally qualified physicians of the State
and to it's intelligent citizens to re-
port all such violations to the board.
The governor has assured the board
that if any case is brought to the at
tention of a magistrate and that
magistrate fails to make thorough
investigation of the case he will have
such magistrate removed. Therefore
we will esteem it a favor to have any
such violations reported to the board,
OF members thereof and the names OF
any person furnishing such informa-
ton will not be known to any one but
the member Of the board to whom the
report is made.
The following gentlemen passed a
satisfactory examination before the
board and were given their licenses:

a unanimous vote resolution embcdy-
ing the following points:
Council agrees to close Graham
Street between Harvin Street and the
Coast Line tracks and allow the R. Z.
Go. to make use of the strip of land,
and in lieu thereof the R. R. Co. IS
to open a street between the telephone
factory and the Brand residence.
2. The City Council will close up
Main Street from Dingle Street to the
Southern boundary of the land owned
by the Coast Line, and the Coast Line
will put in more tracks and will take
out the Shore warehouse and remove
the present passenger depot.
8. The City Council decided to take
Is feet from the Southern boundary
of the R. R. property between Main
Street and Manning Ave. for con-
Meeting street between these two
points.
If it can obtain continuation of
Divine Street on reasonable terms, it
will do so and restore the land taken
from the R. R. property. Otherwise
it will remain as street.

The Good Roads Problem.

A Kansas paper in discussing the
agitation of the "good roads prob
lem' in that state makes the point on
the general public concerned in the
subject that there is no such problem.
1t is only plain. matter of money,
the same paper explains. The trouble
is that the people-some of them-who
want and badly need good roads
ssdon't want to spend money to get
them, and hence all this talk comes to
nothing The only problem" is how
to get the money-not how to build
the roads-and in it is to be found
an illustration of the fact that the
practical cause of administrative func-
tions is to pay for the essentials rath-
er than avoid what is erroneonsly
called the burdens Of taxation. , y
Reducing taxes to the smallest posi-
bic, rate ''involves necessarily pairing
down the results of taxation. It's
like man saving money by living
misery. He loses more by the denials
than he gains by the cash he accumu-
lates.'
It is a good illustration. What
does a community save by maintain
ing bad roads that cost it more in q
year, in dollars and cents to say moth
ing of other forms of value, than q
good road would cost. It does not save
| "taxes'' certainly. A bad road levies
and collects tax on every man who
uses it-whether in lost time, broken
| wheels, ratified vehicles, damaged horse
flesh, higher prices for goods bought
and smaller profits on products sold,
or in all these ways together; to say
nothing of the indirect and incidental,
but certain and heavy, taxation
which he shares with the community
to which he belongs. represented
by its losses resulting from restricted
pTOUUCGlOu, pOS1uOoS, PAOPoAo-
and general development, " all due te
impeded communication with outside
markets and the outside world.
No community that has provided
itself with good roads, so far, has
found reason to regret the change, o.
the cost of it, when the cost was rea
sonable one. Many communities have
abundant reason to regret the want O.
such change, and find little cause to-
satisfaction in the saving" theJ
have effected. They have saved some
money by living meanly," and have
lost more. It is not a, profitable pol
icy, in the end. There is only one
way of escape from it, however. Coco
roads like other blessings, do not coma
for nothing. They cost some none!
and some intelligent and systematic
work. The only problem involved
in getting, them, is in getting th'
money necessary to build them.

Maehinist's Strike Working Smoothly

Washington, May 23.-President
O'Connell of the Machinists' associa
ton in summarizing the situation to-
night said:
''The situation now shows shat we
are largely the gamer in the number
of settlements made. The adjustments
reported during today show a gain in
New England of 1,500 in the number
of men returned to work with the de-
mands granted; of 500 or 900 in Ohio,
and probably LOCO in Pennsylvania.
About 1000 men struck today. There
are some additions in Philadelphia
and some in the Seaboard Air Line
shops at Americas, Ga. Our policy is
to discourage bringing out any more
men than absolutely necessary to effect
the success of the movement :.
Mr. O'Connell said strike of the
machinists on the Seaboard Air Line
would occur tomorrow morning. He
said the strikers would number be
tween 500 or 800. Advices to head
quarters here indicate that at San
Francisco many of the smaller con-
Germs are ready to grant the demands
but are not ready to sign the agree
ment. At Indianapolis the American
Bicycle company is reported IS agree
ing to the demands but refusing to
sign the agreement. The same con-
dition exists atseveral other points and
the matter is being left to the local
organizers to settle. Mr.. O'Connell
said tonight that he could not under
stand such policy on the part of the
employees but was not disposed to hag-
gle over a minor issue and if necessary
he would not insist on the men stay
ing out on account of that technicali-
ty. He said the organization of the
men is sufficient to enforce their de-
mands and that the question of sigma
ture was comparatively trihing.
