water, the percentage of lithia shown
being claimed to be larger than that
of any other spring known in this
country.
The White stone Lithia.
Having experience in mineral
springs and having capital. Mr.. Har-
ris at once proceeded to acquire the
White Stone Lith.a and to erect there,
on magnificent hill facing the
spring, one of the handsomest hotels
of its kind in the South. The hotel
has over 200 bedrooms. The central
feature is the grand rotunda, run
ming up four stories, from which runs
off the splendid dining room on the
first floor and magnificent ball room
on the third floor, The whole build
ing is splendidly ventilated, windows
of every room opening outward, cleo
trically lighted and equipped with
water pipes and every other convent
ence to be found in first-class city
hotel. Architecturally and artistical-
ly, the hotel is a gem, and every new
visitor exclaims with surprise on be-
holding such a handsome structure
holding forth in solitary glory. The
hill upon which the hotel is located
is said to be the highest in Spartan
burg county.
Its First Season.
The hotel is handsomely furnished
and had quite a number of guests this
season, although it did not open until
August and much of the exterior work
was incomplete. White Stone is only
eight miles from Spartanburg and Mr..
Harris is already at work grading the
route for an electric line to that city.
This is expected to be completed this
fall and the hotel Will be announced as
open as a winter resort for tourist
guests. Mr.. Harris confidently pre-
diets that he win be even more sue
cessful with White Stone Lithia than
he was with the Harris Lithia and that
he will not have run the place two
seasons before Northern capitalists
will be down ON their knees to him
begging him to let them have the prop
erty at his own price.

ID. J. Mahaney, commissioner of the board of public works, who has been laid up for some time with rheu- matism, is able to be around again.
 Emil Leisring of Porter street, an employe of the rivet department of the Benedict & Burnham company, will sever his connection with thac concern this week and will leave on Monday for Detroit, Michigan, where he will accept a more lucrative, posi- tion with a manufacturing concern.
 -On Monday evening in the parlors of the Third Congregational church, the Daughters of the Covenant gave a reception in honor of Mrs Benjamin F. Root, wife of the new pastor of the church. It was mainly a social gathering and afforded the young la dies of the society an opportunity of meeting Mrs Root, who has been elect ed their president.
 The concert which was given lln- der the auspices of the Welsh Choral union at the Third Congregational church last evening, attracted an audi ence which completely filled tue church. The excellence of the con cert deserved such an audience and it was the unanimous opinion of all pres ent that 1t was one of the best con certs ever given in the Third church. 4. E. Walker was chairman of the evening. Awake, Aeolian Lyre,'' the opening number was rendered in pleasing manner by the Choral union, Perfect harmony and blending of tone reigned throughout. The work of the Choral union during the evening was great surprise to those present. Oth- CT selections rendered by the union during the evening were, Hail. Smil- ing Morn," "Primrose" and "A May Day Chorus.'' Too much praise can not be used in describing the work of the Ansonia male troupe, who sang "The Sailors Chorus and Comrades ln Arms" Every one of the troupe was a good singer. 1t was treat to near them sing. A solo. Home of the Angels" was sweetly sung by Thomas Morgan. Among the most pleasing numbers of the evening were the songs by the Swedish quartet Those present hope to hear them again in the near future. D. J. Edwards of Seymour showed that he is an elocu- tionist of marked ability. The open. ing number of part second was q Welsh solo by William Morgan and 1t was splendidly rendered. A piano solo by Miss Lu Della $. C. Clark was one of the gems of the evening and deserved the continued applause that it received. MT Thompson of Plants vile sang beautifully Gods Peace" A solo, (a) m Sing Thee Songs of Araby," (b) "Till Death'' CT Love Iou"), by ID. k. Walker met with great favor. A selection by string band was very pretty and the mem bers of this band showed that they are good musicians. "A May Day Chorus" by the Choral union brought to m end one of the most successful concerts of the season Previous to the concert supper was served to the out of town guests and after the con- cert light luncheon was served to all persons who assisted at the concert.

Fought a Duel With Air Guns, But
 Thought They Contained Bullets.
 Fenlon, Wis, March 21.-Because Della Shorest, the daughter of Phil adelphia landowner, was in love. with Jim Short, q handsome Indian guide, Evelyn Mahoney of Milwaukee start ed quarrel Miss Shorest then used a horsewhip, and this led to the chal- lenge and acceptance of a duel. Yes terday morning the girls met a few miles from Mellen, Wis, and supposed they were to use real Winchester rifles. Instead two air guns of the same pattern were substituted The Philadelphia girl fired when the Mill Waukee girl was about topress the trig- ger. Miss Mahoney felt the bullet on her chest and fell When she found the bullet had not touched her skin she was ready for reconciliation, and so was the customer, who thought she had committed murder.
 Miss Shorest is the daughter of a Philadelphia man who owns large tracts of pine land near Fenlon, and she was spending the winter here. Miss Mahoney was also spending the winter here. They both were learn ing to use snowshoes, skis, and other equipments of woodmen, and Short was their guile He is a handsome Indian, but did not know of the pro- posed duel.

WOMEN yICTIMIzED.
We'll Dressed Stranger Tells Tale of
 Touching Sorrow.

Ioucnlng sorrow. t@ The old game was cleverly worked on the east side yesterday, says the Bridgeport Telegram, and at least two women are mourning the loss of $15 between them, and no one at pres ent knows how many more have been victimized, but it is safe to predict that there are others.
 A tall and sleek looking individual, well dressed and wearing q light over- coat and black derby hat, dark com plexioned, with black moustache, en- tered the premises at 197 Church street and told pitiful story.
 He said his sister was dying in Chi cago and that he was in deep distress to get there. but found himself penni- less and in a strange city.
 The fellow sobbed as though hIs heart would break and great crocodile tears ran down his face in a stream. To Annie Wargo and Miss Ballich, the women who lived there, the fel- lows story seemed most pathetic. Their womanly hearts longed to aid him, but they knew not how.
 Suddenly the grief stricken man thought of a way. He had two gold
 
 them. To part with either would break his heart. There was also an elegant initial ring upog one of his fingers, the gift of that dear sister who even then lay so close to deaths door. The loss of that would be the last drop in his bitter cup of sorrow.
 To get to Chicago he would sacri- flee his all Would the ladies exam
  their eyes upon that glittering ring and tell him if, in the kindness of their womanly hearts, they would let him have few paltry dollars and take his prized jewelry in return? It would break his heart, but it must be done. The watches were easily worth $50 each, and the ring represented an out lay as great.
 Yes, but we cannot pay the man $50 for these things"
 ''The dear ladies need not do that;v he would accept ''the little sum of $5 for each article" That sum would help him on his way to Chicago.
 There was q searching of purses, and presently the money and the jew elry changed hands.
 How pretty those watches look What q bargain we have struck. Let us go to q jewellers and have them priced" No sooner said than done. The jeweler gave one glance at the watches and smiled. Then he screwed a magnifying glass into his eye and examined the watches again, and the smile broadened. The ring was put to the same test and the smile be- came d grin
 Where did you get them?,
 Bought them of a man who came around this afternoon and we thought we would bring them in to you to have them priced. Will you kindly tell us what they are wortnY'
 About fifty cents bushel," was the startling reply.
