A Lover Suicides.

The Augusta Chronicle says crazed
by grief the result Of a quarrel with
his best girl, a West End young man
went to his home Thursday night and
Friday morning committed suicide.
The young man made choice Of the
laudanum route to get away from his
troubles. His effort was successful,
as he died despite the prompt medical
treatment Of several physicians. The
young mans name was ". H. Mat
thewS, the son Of Mr.. ". A. Mat
thews. lie resided with his father at
sos Moore avenue Augusta. Friday
morning, near noon he was found III
in his room. DR.. Story and Turner
were called to the young mans bedside,
and at once recognized that they had
case Of poisoning from an overdose
Of some narcotic. When aroused the
young man admitted that be had
taken an ounce vial Of laudanum. The
physicians worked faithfully to over
come the effects of the drug, but were
not successful, the young man dying
at $3.50 Friday afternoon. 1t seems
that the young man was despondent
early in the morning and going to the
Stothart pharmacy on Walton Way,
purchased a vial Of laudanum. He
reached home with it and at once re-
tired to his room, where it is suppos-
ed he drank it. He was found an hour
or more later In the day. On Thurs
day night the young man escorted a
young lady to the Platz, to an en-
tertainment. She was escorted home
by another young man. 1t is believed
that the two quarrelled. Young Mat
thews is said to have been desperately
In love with the young lady, and 1t is
thought and belived he killed himself
because Of grief over the misunder-
standing.

Mr.. Woods Declines.

Hon. C. A. Woods, of Marion, has
declined to accept the presidency OF
the South Carolina College recently
rendered him in so flattering man.
ner This announcement will be re-
ceired with regret by friends OF the
institution throughout South Carroll

takes for declining the offer shows
that the State Is a loser In falling to
secure such man as the head Of one

THE CITY OF THE FUTURE.
Forecast Of a Leading German Arehl.
tect,

DIR. Stubben, the famous German
architect, has recently published his
views regarding the city of the future
and what it will be like.
His notion is that II will take the
form of a central block of municipal
buildings, from which all the princi-
pal streets and thoroughfares viii ra-
dlate. Around the center will be drawn
concentric circles of other streets
crossing the main arteries. There will
be secondary streets. Certain thor
Oughfares will be devoted to dwelling
houses, others TO factories and shops
and so forth.
Traffic will be carried on in the
streets In stories, the principal avenues
having three stories. All heavy rail
way traffic and street cars will be un-
derground. The present streets will be
devoted to vehicular traffic. Foot pas
sengers will monopolize the upper sto-
ry. where all the principal shops will
be situated. The footpaths will be
spared from the sun in the summer
and from the rain and snow in the
winter.

most admired by Englishmen. On the
other hand, some doctors deplOre hard
riding by children and insist that 1t Is
injurious to the growing school gir's'
hralth.
1t is in connection with these youth
ful riders that the arguments for and
against the cross saddle are raging.
The older English wOmeD do not take
to the cross saddle. as have done so
many American women. Occasionally
with the Devon and Somerset stag
hounds several women may be seen
riding astride, but that is almost the
only instance OF the custom in all Eng
land.
The opposition comes, not feom any
conventional prejudice or fes. of of
Tending proprieties. but from preva-
lent conviction that cross saddle will
be drawback rather than aid to wo-
mans success In the hunting field.
Experts point out the fact that the
percentage OF women thrown Is far less
than that Of men-that stumble on
landing which would throw nine out
of ten men from the saddle will sell
dom upset woman; that even when n
horse falls, unless he rolls over. wo-
man who Is cool and does not lose her
nerve can often keep her seat, while
the horse scrambles to his feet
All these things are accounted for by
the splendid grip upon the saddle given
woman by her side pommel. 1t is ad-
mitted that in case of really bad fall
woman stands less chance than n
man, because she is hampered by skirts
and the pommel, but such accidents
are. fortunately, rare.
In the case of the young and grow
ing girl matters are rather different.
Many doctors contend that much rid
ing on the side saddle induces ten
dency to spine curvature and hinders
symmetrical development Of the body.

A Nasty Practice.

A nasty practice is what the Chicago
Inter Ocean calls the FASTING of re-
peated layers Of wall paper, one upon
another, thus covering up the filth and
germs of disease that may be propa-
gated In the very absorbent and de-
caying mass OF flour paste, paper,
animal glue, colors, etc.
They give opinions of eminent
health officers and sanltarlans, urging
that such practice should be stopped
by legal enactment. and also take oc-
casion to say that these sanitarians
recommend Alabastine as a durable,
pure and sanitary coating for walls.
The Inter Ocean says: "This is n
very important question. and, as II
costs nothing 10 avoid this danger
why take any chancesT
How much Of the alarming spread
OF smallpox and other diseases may be
due to unsanitary wall coverings?

Lost His
.RheNmatisn
BY the use of q bottle Of
St. Jacobs Oil.

SERGEANT JEREMIAH MAHER, @. Ard.
cath, Royal Irish Constabulary, says; any
friend, Mr.. Thomas Hand, has been . grcvt
sufferer from rheumatism in the back and
joints for the last four years. during which
time he has employed many different
methods of treatment but obtained no relief
whatever, and for the last two years has
been unable to walk without stick, and
sometimes two sticks, and was in great pain
constantly. ! induced him to procure a
bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, which he applied
with the most astonishing and marvellous
effects. Before he had finished using the
contents of the first bottle he could walk
readily without the aid of stick, and after
a few applications from the second bottle he
was free from pain, and has been ever since /;
and although fifty years of age and farmer,
he can walk and work without experiencing
any pain or difficulty whatever"

Half a century ago few English wo-

to hounds as that she should dance.
More and more, too, English girls
are being trained to cross-country rid
