Consultations at Headquarters.
At headquarters there is daily con
sultation of the Republican Executive
Committee. All matters of policy are
then discussed in detail. and deci-
sion is reached as to the modus OPP
erandi in every case. Each member
of the executive committee has his
special branch in the political field
to cover and for this he is held re-
sponsible. II he needs advice he goes
10 the Chairman. If he needs as
sistance to carry out his work he
calls upon the Secretary. There is
perfect harmony of action at head
quarters. There must be. There
may be diversity of opinion in dis
cussion. naturally so. but decision
once arrived at as to the line of
policy TO be pursued there follows
nothing but the joint harmonious
work necessary to secure tina de-
sired result.
An enormous amount of correspon-
dence is received every dav at head
quarters. This is sorted out so that
it is on the desks of the heads OF the
departments as soon as they arrive
in their Offices Then begins the
work OF disposing of it. which, more
often than not. lasts. well into the
night Most of this CORES pondenee

but there are occasions when il is
necessary to consult With others and

Two important Bureaus.
Possibly two of the most impor-
tant bureaus at Republican headquar-
tiers are the Speakers bureau and
the Literary bureau. The head of the
Speakers bureau is advised by the
different state chairmen as to the
points that should be covered by ora
tors in his particular state. Arrange
ment has to be made for good speak
ers to be provided at each place up
on appointed dates. Their move
ments have to be arranged with the
precision of clock-work. so that there
will be no overlapping and no gaps
left. The country is covered with
such men where they are most need
ed and where it is felt they will do
the most good. The right talker
must be chosen for the right place.
A thorough knowledge is necessary.

Death OF Mr.. Thomas J. DalrympIe.

Townville, April l0.--Mr. Thomas j.
Dalrymplc died suddenly at his home
near here at sunset yesterday. He was
about 90 years of age and had been il,
poor health for many years, but it is
probable that his sudden death was due
to terrible wound received in the war
for Southern independence. He was a
native of Laurcns county, but had resided
here since about the year 1872. He was
good man and citizen, and an inilucn.
tial member of the Methodist church. lie
was one of the principal promoters of the
church to be erected here in memory of
the late j. Walter Dickson, and his death
will be felt in that enterprise. Mr.. Dal-
rymplc volunteered at the beginning of
tho war and became Il member of the :,d
South Carolina Regiment. lie was badly
wounded at Fredericksburg, December
i3, 1862, near the Mayrc mansion, to and
behind which he dragged himself and lay
tlll the surgeons came. He went back to
his command when his wOnnd, which
was to trouble him to the end of his days,
was but partially healed, and fought with
mis- comrades to the end. d.--Correspcnd.

A Murderous Pittsburg Gang.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 12.-Thorc has
scarcely been more eventful day in the
annals of the Pittsburg police than to-
day. Thomas ID. kahnc, n Mount Wash
ington grocer, was shot and killed in his
home 10y three burglars while defending
iila wife, who was being chloroformcd
few hours later the rendezvous of tho
alleged felons was discovered at 30 Ful-
ton street and force of detectives put

fight which followed, City Detective
Patrick f.. Fitzgerald was instantly

his name as Edward Wright, who fired
the shots that killed Fitzgerald, was
badly wounded Two male aud two
female members Of the alleged robber
gang were arrested, and diamonds and
other booty worth from $1,000 to 1900
recovered. Tho whole of tho gang is
believed to be in custody and the
detectives have evidence that tho men
are responsible for the numerous bur
glarics of the past month or two in and
around this city. The wounded prisoner
was removed to Mercy Hospital, where
IT is said he may recover, although he
was shot three times. The others ar
rested gave their names as Robert Will

a brother of the alleged murderer, and a
woman said to bc his wife. They were

BARNARD B. EVANS BEHIND THE BARS

The dispatches sent out from Colum.
bia late Saturday afternoon announcing
the killing of Capt. j. J. Griffin in the
room of Major B. B. Evans gavo sur.
prise and shock to all. 1t was moro sur
prise at the occurrence of an event that
might DO expected at any timo than at
its possibility. Those who have known
Mr. Evans personally, or have watched
oven casually his career for tho past fow
years, will have no reason for surprise
beyond that commonly experienced
when tho expected happens. There
were no eye-witncsses to this lamontablc
tragedy, and whether Evans fired the
fatal shot, or, as he claims, Griffin put
an end to his own life, may never be
known. Tho testimony brought out q,
the coronor's inquest looks decidedly in
favor of the theory that Griffin met death
at tho hands of Evans. Had Evans bec,
himself-in other words, had he been
sober-we do not believe the tragedy
would havo taken place. His creates,
weakness is his fondncss for whiskcy
and whom under it's influence he is no,
himself Evans sober is a gentleman
Evans drunk is-anything else. What
ho was before he entered politics we dc
not profess to know. For several years
ho has dabblcd freely in politics and
moro freely in whiskcy. Naturally tai
onted, he has thrown away many oppor
tunitics that another would have cagerl,
grasped. His family connection and in.
flucnce are such that, had he seen fit t.
make proper uso Of them, his future
would have been bright. IIo has bcol
constantly dropping the substance and
grasping at shadows" The uso and
abuse of whiskey has put him behind
the bars. Ho has placed himself i'll the
position of a "horriblc example" for the
young men of tho State. Let MS hope
that many who arc travelling the sam,
road Evans has travelled will draw IL les.

the design, which is considered most
artistic one. In line with the determine
ton of the Treasury Department to give

tho buffalo is tho emblem of the new

buffalo arc portraits of Lewis and Clark,
the explorers. The denomination of the

the letter X crossing the letters. These
are tho distinguishing marks of the new
bill, which will probably attract much
