Kidnapping In Atlanta.

The Atlanta News last Thursday
afternoon published letter from
Prof. Thompson, of the Technologi-
cal school, of that city, in which he
states that Bass Frazer, who was re-
ported "kidnapped," was detected
cheating in class and confessed.
This apparently is the solution of
the kidnapping mystery. Prof.
Thompson says Frazer confessed
that he cheated because he wanted
TO be expelled from school.

SThe Executive Committee is

ance of the great transcontinental
tour in the interest of the Sabbath

their work.
"1t will be readily observed, there
fore, that this convention should be
no ordinary occasion, but on the con.
trary one that should enlist the
hearty cooperation of every active
well-wisher of the greatest of all
causes, that of the Sabbath school.
With such specialists as those named
tho work of the convention must
necessarily be both instructive and
interesting. We feel free to say
that the Sabbath schools have never
before had such opportunity for en-
largement and Improvement as will
then be offered, and it is to be hoped
that the consecrated men and wo-
men in all parts of South Carolina,
now engaged in this most useful arm
of church work, will seize the occas-
ion in order that great and perma-
nent benefit may derived there
from, in renewed ;, and greater
efficiency to the individual school.
The programme, which will be pub
lished later, will cover every phase
of Sunday school work the ad-
dresses will be helpful and all parts
of the services will be spiritual and
devotional.
"The Sunday school workers of
South Carolina owe it to those who
will be our distinguished guests, as
we'll as to themselves, and to the
youth of our beloved Commonwealth,
to make this the most successful con-
vention year in the history of the
organization. The good people of

tality, will welcome to their happy
homes all those who shall come.
We invite every Sunday school in

once, to the end that proper repre-.
sentation may be d."-Newberry

Money In the World.

The Director OF the United States
mint, Mr.. Roberts, publishes an in
teresting estimate of the amount of
money in the world. His figures are
based upon official information
gathered from every available source.
He states the worlds stock of
money at $l1,619,1OO,OOO, of which
s4,S41, 100000 is gold, s3,S18, 100000
silver, and s2,96o,10o,Ooo paper un-
protected by gold or silver.
1t is astonishing how enormously
the worlds stock of money has in
creased since 1878, the year when
silver was demonetized in this coun-
try.
The total amount of money in the
world at that time was Sd, 500, 900, 1000,
divided as follows: Gold, $1,2O9,-
100000 /; silver, $1,O57, 7,685,O0O un-
covered paper, $2,322,545,0O0.
Since 1878 there has been an in
crease Of $3,631, 100000 in gold
money $2,760,315,OOO silver, and
s637,555,00o paper a total increase
of $7,029,070,O00. The stock of
money has increased much faster
than population and the worlds per
capita money circulation is greater
now than ever before.-Atlantn

A sheep killing dog up in Maine
has eaten up his masters farm and
died. The dog killed a neighbor's
sheep and the neighbor proposed to
settle the matter if the dog was
killed. The owner of the dog would
not have his dog killed and lawsuit
followed. The owner of the dog had
to mortgage his farm to pay cost and
damages, and the next thing was the
surrender of the farm to pay the
mortgage. The dogs master is
homeless and his dog is dead.

1t looks as if smallpox was becom-

more or less in three fourths of the

enough of it to bring about mill

with it. Out West it has spread
rapidly and seems more fatal than in

Admirals Benham and Ramsay. Admi-

signs the report, but he takes excep-
tions to many material features, and
these are contained in personal mi

follows:
Commodore Schley, in command of
the flying squadron, should have pro-
ceeded with utmost dispatch off Glen
fuegos, and should have maintained
close blockade of that port.
He should have endeavored, on
May %, at Cienfuegos, to obtain in
formation regarding the Spanish
squadron by communicating with the
insurgents at the place designated in
the memorandum delivered to him at
8:16 a. m. of that date.
He should have proceeded from
Cienfuegos to Santiago de Cuba with
all dispatch, and should have disposed
his vessels with a view of intercepting
the enemy in any attempt to pass the
flying squadron.
he should not have delayed the
squadron for the Eagle.
He should not have made the retro

Files Minority Report Favoring
the Rear Admiral.
REFUSE TO MAKE ANY STATEMENT
The Commander Of the Flying Squad
ron Was Not Coward, Says the
Court = Congress to Investigate
Next-ResuIt Complete Surprise.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 14.-Rear
Admiral Schley comes out of the court
of inquiry affair convicted on almost
every count of the precept by major
ity of the court, but coupled with the
sweeping condemnation is remark
able eulogy by Admiral George Dewey,
in which the hero of Manila declares
that Schley was in sole command at
Santiago and that he is entitled to the
glory of the splendid victory.
Admiral Dewey, however, comedies
with the court in the belief that in
many things before the battle Schley
was blamable, but he differs with the
court on number of points.
Technically speaking, Schley is Off
cially condemned by court of his
brother officers, but they themselves
recommend that owing to the time
which has elapsed there should be no
further proceedings in the matter.
There is no appeal from the finding of
the court, and Rear ADMIRAL Schley
must be content to let it stand as it is
so far as the navy department is con
cerned,
Investigation by Congress Next.
The fact that Admiral Dewey went
out of his way to sign an individual re-
port differing with the court on impor-
portant points and giving to Schley the
entire credit of the battle at Santiago
will, it is believed, strike the popular
fancy, and the people in the navy de-
partment are exceedingly bitter at this
.,tf ,f A II
suit will almost certainly be an inves-
tigation by congress.
Admiral Schley refuses to discuss
the finding. His friends are much up
set over the result. but are comforted
at the splendid tribute paid SchIey by
Admiral Dewey, the only member of
the court now in active service, and
one of the three admirals whose opin-
ion the country most probably will re-
spect.
Attorney General Raynor of Mary,
land, chief counsel for Schley, said that
he should advise his client to test the
judgment by an appeal to congress or
by such other methods as are open in
case like this.
Result Complete Surprise.
The result was a complete surprise,
and no prophesy had approached the
truth.
Blockade Alone Is Upheld.
In its finding the court acquits
Schley of the charge originally
brought against him by Rear Admiral
Sampson, that the night blockade at
Santiago vas maintained at a distance
! of twenty-five miles from shore. This
lis practically the only charge which
was not sustained in the view of ma
jority of the court
