covered an honest man. This follower
OF the boy with the Ratchet came into
the wholesale store and bought some
goods to be resold at one of the outly-

out. Several days afterward he was
in this city and went in To see the
V holesale merchant. asking if he had
found 20-cent piece among his money
the day the goods were purchased. II
such was the case, he said. he had mis-

THE PEOPLES CHURCH.
Rev. 3. S. Crosby, Former Pastor,
Spoke Twice Yesterday.
In the Evening He Leetured on 1.-THE
Coming Woman"

| At the Peoples church, yesterday,
| Rev. y. S. Crosby, a former pastor,
spoke at the morning and the evening
services. There was good attendance
at both. In the evening he delivered an
interesting lecture on "The Coming
| Woman" in the course Of which he
said:
| Almost all the great inventions. dis
jcorerieS and improvements have been
made within the last 100 years. The
sickle and the cradle have given place
to the binders: the stage coach and sail
boats. to the palace sleepers and ocean
steamers: the horse cars to the cleo
tric; the post chaise to the telegraph
anc telephone, and the tallow candle
to the incandescent burner. But In no
other field or sphere has there been 50
much change as in the relations of wo-
men to men and the world in general
Years ago the pulpits declared that
the teaching of women must be done
exclusively in the home their praying
III secret and their singing in silence
Now, in almost all churches, and cS-
pecially in the Young Peoples Socie-
ties. there IS neither male nor female,
but all are one in Christ. Once, woman
could travel the world over and knock
at every college door for entrance and
be refused to all of them. Today, there
arc but few colleges where they have
not entered. The spinning wheel and
weaving loom have ceased to be their
only means of livelihood and now they
have entered 222 of the 265 professions
opened to them. and have ceased to sit,
and sing. and smile. and pine. and wait
for the wedding day. and pray % Lord,
just send anybody
Ladies, lift up your eyes and behold
the fields are already white to the har-
vest. Use all your womans arts and
arguments to gain possession of one.
SO that at that great day you may
come rejoicing and bringing your
sheaves with you.
DO your utmost to make this world
cleaner, safer place for your children
to live in, and never doubt that yo,lr
own womans heart knows what is wo-
manly work better than any man or
any friend alive can tell"
After the lecture Mr.. Crosby departed
on the Pullman for his home i'm Schultz
vile. y. Y, carrying with him the kind
wishes OF many friends i'm this city.
The mission board OF the Christian
denomination is considering the plan OF
establishing pastor over the Peoples
church very soon. The people desire
Mr. Crosby to return here. and il may
be he VIII be allowed TO do so.

BADLY BURNED.
Child's Clothing Caught While Play.
ina With Fire.

The three -year-old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry II. Thorndike was badly
burned. yesterday. The child was play
ing with a piece of paper around the
stove and set it on fire. From this the
flames spread TO its clothing. Before
they could be extinguished the child
was burned about the breast and arms.
The injuries are not considered of q
serious nature in themselves as they
are not deep. The shock, however. is
feared more, but everything was fav-
orable, last evening, and ultimate re-
covery is looked for. DR.. G.. f. Wash
burn was called in as soon as the acct
dent occurred and looked after the in
juries. Later the child was taken tc
the City hospital TO be cared for.

COAST LINE AND SOUTHERN.
Said to BE Uniting To Buy the Plant
System.

The Florence Times is authority
for the statement that veteran rail
road man who is in a position to get
the inside" Of good many goings on
in railroad circles says that the report
that the Pennsylvania was about to
buy up the Coast Line was not true.
He gives it as coming from re-
liable source that the true explanation
of the rise in the Coast Line stock is
due to the fact that the Coast Line
and the Southern are to join together
and buy up the Plant system. The
road is the Florida and West Indian
connection of the two lines and the
Scaboard The opposition line al,
ready has entrance into the promised
land Of the South through the T.. G. 4
II.
The Plant system is the old road
and ramitics through the state anC
has extensive Georgia connections
and into Alabama, very rich terri
tory, and the road is regarded as {
fine piece Of property. Since Mr.
Plants death it does not seem to have
had the successful management that
it had before, and the two great SyS
tens which are dependent on it FOL
southern connections have joined
together in securing 1t between them
which will prevent any war or rates o.
business between the Coast Line anC
| the Southern. The Coast Line con
meets with the Plant at CarleSton anC
the Southern connects near Savan
nah.
There are prominent men in al
of those roads who own stock and larg
blocks OF it in the other lines, ant
there is no lack OF harmony amons
/ them. This is believed to be tn
most plausible explanation OF the re
! cent sensation in railroad circles.

A SENSATIONAL CHARGE.
Agent or Denmark Says He Bribcd
Members OF Congress.

n genuine sensation was caused in
the house Thursday by the presenta-
! tion by Mr.. Richardson OF Tennessee.
| the Democratic leader, of charges al
leging the corrupt use OF fund OF
$500, 600 in connection with the sale
of the Danish West Indies. The
charges were contained in an alleged
secret report OF Capt. Walter Christ
mas to the Danish government which
declared that he had employed corrupt
! means to bring about the negotiations
for the sale of the islands to a con-
summation.
The report. extracts from which
Mr.. Richardson read, mentioned the
names OF Abner Mckinley and his
partner, Col. Brown, G. w. Knox, who
was described rs ''an intimate friend
of Senator Hanna" Richard F. Evans
who was said TO represent MI. Card
ner and his friends in the house." and
two press associations, the names of
which were not given, rs having been
interested In the matter. The
charges against members OF con-
gresS were not specified. Upon
the basis of this report, MIR. Richard

Ing committee OF seven. The speaker
ruled that the matter was priviledged

Great excitement attended the whole
proceeding. Mr.. Cannon of Illinois
insisted that Mr.. Richardson's pre-
sentation was fragmentary and that
the whole matter should go over until
Friday in order that members might
read the documents presented, which
included newspaper extracts, afiidavitS
