Lloyd Garrison and wendell Phillip.

The difference between William Lloyd
Garrison and Wendell Phillips was this:
Garrison exclaimed, VIXEN the emancipa-
ticn of the slaves was realized, that his
life-work was accomplished; Phillips con-
tinued his career as an agitator.' re-
marked Hon. Harrison Hume, OF Boston,
Mass, ct the Riggs.
''As a young man I often heard Wen
dell Phillips speak and L verify believe
that God endowed him with the greatest
oratorical gifts ever bestowed on a hu-
man being. His face was as beautiful
as that Of an angel and yet he could ut
ter sentences surcharged with venom.
heard him dcnounce General Grant in an
address before the students of the Uni
versity Of Michigan, and remember with
what serene patience he withstood their
Kisses.
Phillips had q bitter enemy in the
person of Hon. E. lockwood Hoar, one of
the greatest and most conscientious men
that Massachusetts, ever produced. Hoar
had a wit that flashed and scintillated,
and he used 1t even on his deathbed. When
asked by a friend If he intended going to
see Phillips buried he answered, No; but

False Teeth borrowed Grub Stake


"a trio of Eastern sports who came our
way not long since met nothing but ad-
verse fortune for the first fortnight of
their stay" said Mr.. W. T. Delaney, of
New Orleans, ct the Raleigh. They
were at last reduced to such extremities,
by reason of backing the wrong horses,
that one night when they went 10 bed
there wasn't coin enough in the crowd to
buy breakfast.
This fact. however. didn't weigh so
heavily on the soul of the senior of the
three, veteran who had experienced all
him from slumbering till a fairly late
hour the next morning. When he finally
opened his eyes and rose to dress he
noted that his younger comrades were
ahead of him. They had gone out of the
common apartment so quietly as not to
have disturbed him.
THE veteran grew weary waiting for
their return, and when they at last
showed up, smilingIy, with some apology
for the delay. he observed they were
using toothpicks. You sports have been
feeding he said; where did you get the
stuff" Their evasiye replies ruffied his
temper, but when upon looking for his
false teeth he found them not, his anger
blazed out.
There was no way for those teeth to
have gotten out of the room. The gold
plate could be utilized for small loan
at any pawn shcp. a suspicion that soon
became a conviction grew upon him that
his associates had pawned the teeth and
breakfasted on the proceeds.
AT first they made feeble denials. but
finally were compelled to admit that they
had purloined his artificial grinders.
There came near being tragedy, but at
length a peace was patched up and soon
fortune turned in their favor. 1t was
about as novel a mode, however, of get
ting breakfast money as l ever heard of. !"

Mr.. Hedges is a well-known capitalist
Of the Mound City, having an extensive
fortune. He is retired from active bust

baseball, and under his guidance it is
expected that the club will be among
the leaders If the quality of strong back

the head.
The names of the other members of the
company have not been announced yet,
hut the club will be formed legally
Wednesday and at that time the other
st. Louis capitalists will be made known.
However, the American league leaders
have given ample assurance that all of
the men are among the best known in
the Missouri city and since they are in
tensely interested in the national sport
II is expected that the American league

BRANCHVILLE, S. C.,Jan. PA care
fully planned and audacious express rob-
berry took place about o clock this even
ing on the Southern railway when the
passenger train from Charleston reached
nearly the exact site of the successful
robbery of two years ago, five miles from
Branchville. Seven or eight men were
riding on the platform between the en-
CINE and baggage car, concealed by the
darkness None was masked. Two men
crawled over the tender and covered the
engineer, John Reynolds, with Winches-
ters They fired two shots, one ball pass
ing through Reynolds cap. Fireman
Cobb escaped by jumping off, Conductor
Black, who ran out, was covered and or
dered back
By order of the robbers a brakeman
uncoupled the express, mail and baggage
cars, which were taken to Fifty-eight sta
ton, leaving the rest OF the cars on the
main line. Here several shots were fired
into the express car and one man climbed
up, covered Express Messenger Hall with
Winchester, and compelled him to open
the door Three men entered the car and
stripped the local safe
s< After threatening Hall with instant
death if he did not open the through safe,
and finding he knew nothing of the COM
bInatien, the safe was rolled out on the
platform. Ther the engineer was ordered
to return with the three cars to the train
and he obeyed bringing the train without
further incident to Branchville Nothing

hounds will be on hand in the morning.

PROSPECTS ARE GLOOMY
stage CANNOT SEE A WINNING
TEAM FOR CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-Baseball prospects
at the University of Chicago are eXcep-
uonally gloomy. Chicago has invariably
been short on material for a first-class
team. in comparison with the other
Western universities, but this year there
are fewer ball players in the university
than for almost any season since the
time that Stage was pitcher, catcaer
and shortstop too, as the L. of c. song
goes.
There are only sixteen candidates in the
winter baseball squad. Last year there
were thirty. At Michigan and Illinois
there are from fifty to sixty men who
are candidates for the ball teams.
Capt. Harper. of the Chicago team, said
yesterday: ION Friday only seven men
were out for practice. We haven't many
candidates. and even at that some Of
them don't come out regularly
1t has been discovered that there is a
ballplayer in the Rush sophomore class
at the university this year and friends OF
the team asked him to join the squad.
He is Fraunfeller, a graduate of Harvard
university, who played on the Harv 11d
second nine year before last. He has
had some pitching experience Fraunfel-
Ter has signified his willingness to try
for the Cn.cago team, and is expected
out soon.

MAKES STRONG CLAIM
BOSTON DOCTOR SAYS HE CAN PRO-
LONG LIFE.

BOSTON, Jan. 27.-Dr. Augustin
Thompson of this city claims that
eleven years ago he discovered Prof.
Jacques Loeb's theory as to the source
of life energy, and that human life may
be prolonged to the age of $50 years or
more by transmitting into the body
force which, like food, is sustaining. Dr.
Thompson claims that he has gone far
Their than Prof Loeb, in that for several
months he has actually practiced upon
that theory with success. In an interview
the doctor said.
Prof Archer, New York's famous
chemist, declares it the most wonder
full thing in the world. AS for myself L
say positively 1 can take a man whose
nerve center is weakened and restore
him to health. 1 have done it for hun
dreds. 1 did it for myself Now Prof.
Loeb claims that electricity is life as
sert that it is not Electricity is only the
physical force of the universe. Let one
stop eating food and all the electricity
existing will not prolong his life.
DR.. Thompson declares that with the
aid of an imperceptfble current of cleo
tricity he transmits to the human body
the exact results of pure food upon a
perfect digestion, which he claims are
a sure cure for all ills of mankind.

BOBBY CARRUTHERS TO UMPIRE IN
THE AMERICAN LEAGUE.

CHICAGO, Jan. N.-The American
league staff of umpires received another
addition yesterday when President John
son closed terms with Bobby Carruth-
ers, the famous star of the old St. Louis
Browns. Carruthers served as umpire
last season in the Western league, where
he made a distinct hit with the fans,
ard Johnson is confident that he will
be popular in the American league.
silk OLoughlin and Carruthers are
the only officials with whom the Ameri-
can league has as yet actually closed
terms, but Johnson admitted yesterday
that Sheridan was a fixture and that he
would also undoubtedly retain Connolly.
Joe" Cantillon, who was one of the
most satisfactory officials last season,
has not yet come to terms. but he, too,
is likely to be retained With these five
men working the leagues officials this
year promise to be much more satisfac-
tory than last season.
President Johnson announced posi-
lively that Hank O'Day would not be on
the American league staff next year, de-
spite reports to the contrary.

ton of output by trades unionistS is APP

some employers had spent 10000 during
the past year in improving their plants,
and it only remained to secure the loyal
cooperation of the men.
Mr.. Cox, responding for the men, said
he could promise that there would be
no restriction Of output. The men would
welcome any Improvement aiding them in
the coming contest for the worlds SUI
