How the Players Escaped.

Judge Wings decision will not handi-
cap us in the least. He only passed On
the question of Jurisdiction and left the
status of the cases unaltered He ruled
in favor Of Bernhard because that play
er declared himself a citizen OF New
York.
Flick and Lajoie could not escape on
the same plea Tor both are avowed resi-
dents OF Cleveland. so in their interest
counsel raised the novel point that they
were not amenable to the decision of the
court. for the reason that the amount
OF damages did not reach the $1,000 pre-
scrbed before 4 case can be tried in
a United States circuit court.
This was. OF course. the meTcst quib
bic. Ten times 80, zoo would not cover
what the absence of Lajoie has cost rs.
sun we could not prove this loss.
The Judge peremptorily refused 10 ac-
Cept the opinions OF our witnesses. La
joie's counsel said that as the season
was half over the loss was only half OF
the salary we agreed to pay him, mat
tCr OF some 81, 100.
Il rut Shetislinc on the stand to tell
Of offers that had been made for Lajoie's
release. but the judge was obdurate ana
refused to listen. Such a quibblC could
mover have been raised and maintained
In an Eastern. court. The fixing OF
definite amount OF damages has never
been insisted On. Il is enough to al
lege that the amount exceeds S2,CO0. We
followed the regular custom ana were
unexpectedly confronted with a palpable
technicality.

very strong. It seems probable that
the United Confederate Veterans

this subject, and that the day there
agreed upon will be accepted and OBJ
served throughout the South and
wherevever else the graves of Confed-

Some of the extreme partisan Re
publicans are disappointed over the
attitude of their more sensible brcth-
rem toward the Crumpackcr resolution.
Senator Depew' speech in the Senate
may be taken as an instance Of the
partisanship which is unwilling to
read Alright the expressions of the
people against the resolution. His
insistence on arousing sectionalism is
encouragement to the friendiler feel
ing engendered by such events as
President McKinley's tour IF the
South and the more recent visit Of
President Roosevelt to Charleston.
Nothing but sectionalism can support
the Crumpacker resolution. The
entire aim of the measure is to prepare
the way for another force bill which
shall take the control Of general cleo
tions away from the States. Senator
Depew's partisanship gained the mas
terry over his caution when he practi.

NOTHING BURGLAR PRooF.-There is
no such thing as burglar proof vault
or safe, according to report that was
submitted today by treasury experts
to Assistant Secretary Taylor.
The best tempered steel Of usual
thickness Is not proof against new
chemical compound which up-to-date
professional cracksmen have learned to
use. This compound, called thermite,
when mixed with magnesium powder,
will destroy the hardness in the metal,
enabling a cracksman with ordinary
tools to cut into it as though 1t were
lead. For this reason, Mr.. Taylor be-
lieves the treasury ought not to con-
tinue to expend large sums of money In
the construction Of so called burglar
proof vaults and strong boxes.
The investigation was made by ]. E.
Powell, chief mechanical and electrical
engineer of the treasury, and John P.
Bergin, vault, safe and lock expert,
They went to Chicago and other cities
and experimental with thermite and
also electricity. An application OF
thermite and magnesium made to a
steel plate of the highest temper, and
five-eighths of an inch in thickness re-
duced the metal to condition making
is possible to cut hole through 1t with
an ordinary chisel.
The experts say that the best means
of security against professional cracks
men Is to be found in an electical sig
nal system, which, when disarranged
by burglars, would sound an ALARM

THE JENKINS SWORD FUND.
SuggestiOns For the Consideration
of subscriptions.

|
| of Subscriptions.
By correspondence with the gentle
men In charge Of the several subscrip-
tions to provide a sword Of honor for
Maj. Micah J. Jenkins we have secur-
ed the consolidation Of these local SUBJ
scriptions into a general sword fund.
Thus the product Of the agitation will
be the presentation to Major Jenkins
by the hand Of his former comrade,
Theodore Roosevelt, Of sword which
will be worthily handsome and the gift
of all the people Of South Carolina who
have contributed with the common OBJ
ject of honoring the gallant Rough
Rider.
Mr.. Thomas R. Waring, editor Of the
Charleston Evening Post, will act as
chairman Of a committee representing
the several funds consolidated and will
have immediate charge of the arrange
ments in Columbia. The exposition
managers have agreed to make the pre-
sentation Of this sword special fea-
ture of the programme arranged for the
visit of President Roosevelt to Char
lesion, and the ceremony will probably
take place April 9. Elk. Cox. Hugh s..
Thompson of this state, now resident
Of New York, VINO was associated with
Theodore Roosevelt on the Civil SER
vice commission and who has been thus
far the largest contributor to the Jen-
kins sword fund, has consented to Sc
lect the sword, have 1t appropriately
inscribed, and journeying to Charles
ton on the occasion Of the presidents
visit, act for the subscribers in form
ally requesting him to present the tes-
timonial to Maj. Jenkins. He writes
us: 1.-The father Of Maj. Jenkins was
one Of my warmest friends and that
fact, together with my personal rela-
tions with the president, make me es-
TEEN it a privilege to do what you
ask"
We are requested to say that all
money contributed in the towns or
South Carolina for the Jenkins sword
Ue lOl "dioCu ~ SfS SNSN
ness office Of The State not later than
the 9th instant, next Thursday. Its
receipt will be duly acknowledged and
the total will be forwarded to Chair
man Waring at Charleston. Until the
sum Of the subscriptions is known the
sword, Of course, cannot be selected;
and as the time is short 1t Is necessa-
ry to know by the 9th the amount
available.
The testimonial will be handsome
one and worthy Of the state as we'll as
Of the gallant son Of a soldier who died
for South Carolina. Every town and
hamlet can take pride in participating
ffffn the testimonial. We are sure that
without solicitation the contributions
will be adequate to an occasion so dis
guished.-Columbia State.

A PATHETIC LETTER.
Written by a White Convict to His
Dying Mother.

Charlie Jaggers, a young white man,
a prisoner in the state penitentiary
from Chester, recently wrote the fol-
lowing pathetic letter to his mother,
who was dying and unconscious when
she received it. 1t is printed in the
Chester Lantern Of last week:
COLUMBIA, 8. c., March 8, 1902.
My Dear Mother: I seat myself to
answer the letter that I received from
Willie, which has almost broke my
heart to hear that news, but mama,
when you receive this letter, do hope
it will make you feel better, and do
hope and pray that the good Lord will
spare me and you to meet once more on
this earth-once more mama, I know
II I had listened to you, I never would
have been here I think Of the way
have disobeyed you and I am sorry,
but truly hope God will forgive me for
1t. OF course, mama, I cannot be
there to speak this to your face, but
you can depend on 1t, II never see you
again on this earth, will meet you in
Glory where there Is no sickness or
sorrow Mama make you this pledge,
If never see your face again on this
earth, I will never take another drink
Of any kind Of whisky as long as p!
live, or play any game Of gambling, Of
any kind, and I will follow in your foot
steps so can meet you in Glory where
we will have no more troubles Of any
kind. Mama I have broke your poor
heart; but God will forgive me for 1t.
He said, "Whosoever believed on Him
would not perish but have everlasting
life," and that Is what I expect to do.
do hope this will bring comfort to
your poor broken heart as know you
have a lot Of trouble, but Gods grace
is sufficient for all.
Mama you must not worry yourself
so much about me. I am getting along
very well. OF course, I would give
anything on earth to see your face
once more, for when you are gone will
have no friend to speak word for
me, for you are my only friend, and
when I lose you all is gone. No mama
don't worry. You make yourself sat-
isf1ed If don't meet you here no more
I will in Heaven. I mean what say
If you leave me I want to be right be-
hind you. OF course, God knows best,
he does everything for the best. I am
most crazy. want my sister to write
every week and let me know how you
are, so I won't morry so much.
Give my love to all, and Granny, so
good by. From your loving son,
CHARLIE M. JAaGERs.
