TO REDUCE THE KILLINGS.
SOUTH CAROLINA'S NEW CONCEAL
ED WEAPON LAW.

Has Just Gone Into ERect-Prohibits
Carrying of Any Firenrm Less
Than Twenty Inches in Length or
weighing Less Than Three
Pounds-Heavy Penalties Imposed
Upon Dealers and Big Rewards for
Informants.
Columbia S. c., July 4.-South Caro-
lima is trying another experiment to
prevent the carrying of concealed wea-
pons and so to reduce the number OF
killings. The difficulty heretofore has
not resulted from the lack of stringent
laws, but they have been disregarded.
With possibly 10000 negroes and whites
habitually carrying concealed deadly
weapons there are not fifty convictions
a year, and In most cases the fine inn
POSED is the minimum, and practically
nominal. INA man shoots at, wounds
or kills another he is tried for the
greater offense, and the use of a con-
cealed weapon is generally lost sight
of. Those who have the inclination to
go armed have done so, regardless of
the law, realizing that unless their
weapon was drawn and used the fact
of their having ii would not be known,
and then the offense would be over
Swallowed by the shooting.
The new law that went into effect
July / was passed eighteen months ago.
Time was given for the interested per-
sons and hardware dealers to conform
to it's requirements. 1t prohibits the
carrying of a firearm, whether openly
or concealed, that is less than twenty
inches in length or weighs less than
three pounds. Officers of the law en-
titled to be armed are excepted from
the provisions of the act. And the
sale, possession or keeping in stock by
the dealers of firearms of Illegal di
mansions will be punished by heavy
fine, the informant to get the greatest
portion. The fact that a man can make
one or two hundred dollars by report
ing a merchant for violating the law
will make dealers disposed to evade
the measure careful about whom they
make sales to.
Border towns In other states will
doubtless do a large firearm business,
but in the interior the supply will be
diminished If any earnest attempt is
made to enforce the law. Thousands
of pistols now in the hands of negroes
and young men, and which do deadly
work at close range, are Of the cheap
variety. They need constant repairs
which cannot now be done by reputa-
BILE shops, and when they become
worthless it may be that the oldtime
fist fights, now gone out of style, Will
come back into fashion and there viii
be fewer bloody graves. Within two
months five negroes have been
killed by other negroes while
gambling. and the average
value of the life set by the
slayer was 10 cents. In one instance
the dispute was about "nickle;" two
were shot for a dime apiece, while
the killing in which 30 cents was at
issue was the record.
There was some talk among dealers

FIFTEEN KILLED IN COLLISION.

Fearful Loss of Life in Northern
New York by Crash of Electric
Cars.
Utica, N. Y, July 5.-On an electric
railroad near Gloversville last night
there was a collision between two cars
crowded with passengers, by which fif-
teen persons were killed and twenty
nine injured
For a distance of four miles north
of Gloversville the Mountain Lake
Railway, an electric road, connects
Goyersville with a popular place of
resort or picnic ground. AS it was the
Fourth of July the place was crowded
with pleasure seekers.
Last night the cars were filled with
people coming nome from the grounds.
At 1890 p. M, at distance of about
two and a half miles north of GIoyers-
VILE, there was a collision between two
cars, one bound north and one bound
south. They came together head on
with terrific velocity. AS a result the
fifteen persons We're killed outright and
y injured, the latter more or less Sc
rously.
AS II was holiday there were many
business men among those on the cars.

virtues of tho Pineapple.
From the Lancet.

The partaking of slice of pineapple
after a meal Is quite in accordance with
physiological indications, since, though
it may not be generally known, fresh
pineapple juice contains remarkably
active digestive principle similar TO
pepsin This principle has been term
ed ''bromelin" and so powerful is it's
action upon proteids that IT will digest
as much as 1000 times its weight with
In a few hours. Its digestive activity
varies in accordance with the kind of
proteid to which it is subjected. Fibrin
disappears entirely after a time. With
the coagulated albumin of eggs the di-
gestive process is slow, while with the
albumin of meat its action seems first
to produce a pulpy gelatinous mass,
which, however, completely dissolyes
after short time When a slice of
fresh pineapple is placed upon a raw
beefsteak the surface of the steak be-
comes gradually gelatinous owing to
the digestive action of the engine OF
the juice.
OF course it is well known that di-
gestive agents exist also in other fruits
but when 1t is considered that an aver
age Sized pineapple will yield nearly
two pints of Juice, it will be seen that
the digestive action of the whole fruit
must be enormous. The activity of
this peculiar digestive agent is de-
stroyed in the cooked pineapple. but
unless the pineapple is preserved by
heat there is no reason why the timed
fruit should not retain the digestive
power. The active digestive principle
may be obtained from the juice by dis
solving a large quantity of common
salt in it when a precipitate is obtained
possessing the remarkable digestive
powers just described
Unlike pepsin, the digestive principle
of the pineapple will operate in an acid,
neutral, or even alkaline medium, ac-
cording to the kind of proteid to which
it is presented. 1t may therefore be
assumed that the pineapple anzyurne
would not only aid the work of diges-
ton In the stomach, but would continue
that action in the intestinal tract.
Pineapple, it may be added, contains
much indigestible matter of the ma
ture of woody fibre. but 1t is quite pos
sible that the decidedly digestive prop
critics of the juice compensate for this
fact

HOW MUCH TO EAT.
Decide Whether You Are AnnboIIc
or KatabOIic and Follow These
Rules.
From London Truth.

From London Truth.
A well-known medical man who con-
tributed some observations on Diet"
prefaces his observations with the re-
mark that the question how much food
1t is advisable for an individual to
consume is one of vast Importance to
the physician. AS 1t is to my mind a
question Of equal Importance to
the mere layman l ventured to read the
article in the hope of getting some
clear idea as to what constitutes a suf-
ficient dietary in order that thorough
ly healthy and active existence may be
maintained. Unfortunately, however,
the writer has not evolved any general
rule in the course of his observations.
II you want to know how much you
ought to eat per diem you must first
determine whether you are tempera-
mentally anabolic or katobolic--tcrms
which appear to be professional Gu
Then, taking into account your age,
sex, size. the amount of exercise you
indulge in and the temperature of the
atmosphere, you calculate the amount
of food necessary to just maintain the
normal weight of the body, this being
defined as the minimum weight con-
sistent with the best health Of which
the individual is capable"
Naturally the amount of food requir-
ed for this varies enormously. The
writer of the article gives as an ex-
ample of spare diet the menu of
plump and CHEEKY old woman of
eighty-four. For breakfast she has
two thin slices of brown bread and but
ter and a cup of tea: for dinner a thin
slice of bacon and three or four pota-
toes; tea consists of two slices Of bread
and butter and a cup of tea, and for
supper she has a slice of bread about
a third of an inch thick and piece of
cheese about the size of a penny" In
another instance the most remarkable
young old man" he has ever met con-
sumes every day about four ounces of
bread, three ounces of bacon, two
ounces of meat, two ounces of sugar.
