An illustration Of how new money
brought in circulates and helps build
up town is to be scene in Charleston.
The government bought a site for a
naval station there. The parties
from whom the land was acquired used
a part Of the money for buying, re-
building and retitting the old Mills
House. at the corner Of Meeting and
Queen streets, making Of it one Of the
most modern and desirable hotels in
the state. 1t was opened the other
day under the name OF the st. Johns
Hotel. Old CharleStonians and old
time visitors to that city will be rather
regretful that the name has been
changed.

Democracy's Gain.

The State says in one day the Demo
cratic contingent in the United States
senate gains two valuable members by
the election Of German in Maryland
and McCreary in Kentucky. Mr.. Cor
mans ability as a politician may at
times have been exaggerated, but
there can be no doubt that he is in
that respect the equal of any Demo
crat in the senate. and if he applies
himself to the formulation Of the par
ty'5 policy along lines with which the
rank and file are in sympathy his re-
turn to active participation in nation
al politics will be real gain to the
Democracy. The election OF "Jeems"
McC-eary completes the restoration OF
kentucky to her normal status as a
Democratic commonwealth represent
cd by Democratic officials. McCreary
has served as governor ofh State and
for several terms as congressman, he
possesses ability as well as experience
and has always been staunch party
man. With Blackburn and McCreary
as her senators, kentucky's represen-
tatiCn in the upper house compares
most favorably with that Of any other
State and surpasses the present aver
age Of southern States.

CLAIMS UNPAID SALARY.
rhe State Said to Owe the Late Seua.
tor Earle Balance.

The Columbia State says the claim
Of the estate OF the late Senator Earle
for balance due on his salary as circuit
Judge will no doubt occasion some sur
prise. The atiidaNitS accompanying
the claim which is in the hands of
Hon. Is. y. Morgan state that in his
last illness Senator Earle spoke OF the
fact that the State of South Carolina
owed him over d thousand dollars, but
did not state in what way and, on ac-
count OF his critical condition, he was
forbidden to speak Of business mat
ters again.
within the last twelve months
Mrs. Earle received some intimation
that such an amount was due herself
as the administrators of the estate.
She caused an investigation to be
made by Capt. J. a. Mooney and her
son. Maj. Jno. II. Earle. AS Capt.
Mooney himself died suddenly within
the past few months. Maj. Earle has
taken charge Of the matter. Capt.
Mooney had been Senator Earles part
ner in the practice OF law.
The athdavitS and other exhibits
show that Gen. Earle was commits
stoned judge on the 18th OF December,
1894, and served continuously in that
capacity until the 3lst of January.
1897. d little over two years. Al the
money that he received during that
time was $685..
The legislature had passed an act
on Dec. -. 1898, reducing the salary
of circuit judges to $1,000. but the
general appropriations act OF 1894 re-
stored the salary to $500. For this
reason there occurred the discrepancy
0; S1.066.G6 which is claimed to be
due the heirs Of Gen. Earle. $500 a
year for two years and &GG.66 for the
difference in time between the 18th OF
December. 1891. and the 31St OF Janu-
arr. 1897. at the rate Of S20S.25 per
month instead OF $3.50 the rate at
which he was actually paid"

A FUNNY CASE.
4 Thief Accuses the Man He Robs
OF Being Thief.

George l. Kline, Of St. Louis. and
Robert L. West. OF Cincinnati, were
arrested across the river from New Or
leans Wednesday morning. charged
with robbing the trunk of T. Z. Man
ners of Chicago, of about 50. $50 worth
of jewelry. They are alleged to have
represented themselves on last night
as Manners and another guest, at the
St. Charles, paid the bills and left
with the baggage. They crossed the
river in skifr and were caught before
the train came, on which they expect
ed to leave. through the watchfulnesS
Of a news boy. who had read the story
in the newspapers.
Later in the day Manners went
over to identify the property and
Kline accused him Of being a thief
under an alias. AS the whole affair
had a suspicious appearance. Manners
was also arrested. The police believe
he may be Kerns, the New York jew
elry thief. and Chief Of Detective
Titus. of New York. sent a telegram
here which strengthens the idea.
Manners claims that he is with his
father in the pawn brokerage
business at Chicago. and that the
jewelry taken was unredeemed pledges
he was trying TO dispose of. Fifty
diamond pins. a gold watch, dia
mond brooch and some pearls are in
the lot.
4 dispatch from New York says
Capt. Titus. Of the detective bureau,
of that city said that he had received
DISPATCHES from New Orleans. which
said that a man believed to be the
missing valet. kerns. who is accused
of having ROBBED Paul G. Thebaud of
$4,000 worth of jewelry here, was un-
der arrest there. He added that ahe
had received a detailed description Of
the man under arrest and that he be-
lievcd him to be kernS. He said the
description tailed very closely. even
to the gold tooth kerns had. Steps
are to be taken looking towards the
complete Identification Of the arrested
man. If this is established reQuisi-
tion papers will be applied for il he
ceSSary.

in Texas on the first instant. 1t re-
Quires trains to run in accordance with
their published schedules unless delay
cd by unavoidable accidents. If they
fail to run on time without such salts

The wisest person in America is the
New York man who has never trav-
eled hundred miles beyond the Dor
ders of his own city, To him travel is
unnecessary, for whittier would he
travel? His city is at once the Alpha
and Omega of human ken. The sun,
for him, rises each morning just be-
You'd the Brooklyn Bridge and sets
each evening in the North River. In
short, New York is America. To live
outside of It's domain is simply to
camp out. And the few-the seventy
and odd millions who do live "beyond
the pale" simply live to watch what
New Workers do, how New Workers
dress, what books New Workers read,

And the wind blows dust all over the
town,
Who should step in but b. w. Carlisle
Does he want the smallpox or an auto
mobile
To make the tour around the town,
And pick up rubbish that is strewn
around?
Now when the wind changes to the
east
Let US all jump ON any old beast;
Not RUN, RUN, but ride for dear life.
Perhaps this will end the poetical
strife;
Now if this won't do it, try any old
way
And believe me, yours truly, E. p. X,
Boston is enforcing the blue laws
and yesterday no newspapers were al.
lowed to be sold on the streets of that
city. Boston must be fine place tc
live in-especially if 9 man is blind

When fellow is in such terrible fix.

But the other two buffers had ought
to be shot
Or locked up like ] am, in one little

In jail would be the place for b. w. C.,
