Refused Bribe Of 100000.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-James Altman,
who once refused bribe of 100000 to
put poison in cream, which he served to
Abraham Lincoln, is dead in this city.
He was a well-known and respected
citizen. For many years he guarded care
fully the fact that he was in any way mix
ed up with any plot or attempt on the life
of President Lincoln, and only few
friends knew of the affair. Some months,
ago however, he made the following state
ment:
"I knew and loved Mr. Lincoln, and
thought at first that the offer of 100000
to poison him was joke. At that time
was running dairy where the bureau of
engraving and printing now is, and my
family occupied house which was torn
down when the property was bought for
it's present purposes. Amongmy regular
customers were President Lincoln, Secre-
tary Stanton and many other gentleman in
official life. 1t was his habit in the early
spring to walk over in the morning to
Secretary Stanton's and take cup Of
coffee with him, while they discussed
public matters. He generally went to the
Secretary's about 5 or 6 O'Clock, and some
times earlier than that l had received
instructions from the Secretary's family
to be sure to get around early in the
morning and leave cream for the Presl-
dents coffee.
Zone morning in the early part of April
not two weeks before the President was
assassinated-I was driving along in my
wagon, when two men stopped me, and
one of them asked if didn't want to make
100000 easy and quick. Iscarcely knew
what to say, but I told them that guess
ed that I did, if it could be done on the
level. Well, he then asked me if could
keep a secret, and told him that l
thought that l could. Then he got right
close up to me, leaning over the side OF
the wagon, and said:
"Well, my man, here's 100000 in good
money. Every cent of it is yours If you
will take this little box of powder and put
it in the cream you serve to President
Lincoln this morning. Pour out the
cream in the measure and put this pow
der in it. Nobody will ever suspect any
thing and the money is yours" -,
He showed me tremendous big roll
of money, and it looked mighty nice, but
l didn't want any of that kind. If it had
been as large as the treasury building it
would not have tempted me."-Philadel-
phia Ledger

4 Result of MIXED" Schools.

SPRINGFIELD, ONO, Feb. 10.-A negro
boy forcibly hugging and kissing white
girl was the sight witnessed at the Pleas
ant street school q few days ago The
boy was not satisfied with the above, but
he kept calling her his sweetheart.
Fortunately the girl had presence
enough Of mind to free herself from his
grasp and returning to her room told her
teacher, who in return reported the case
to Principal Ogan and the lad was severe
ly dealt with for his conduct
Although every effort has been made to
keep the matter quiet, it is learned that
both of the pupils, although in different
rooms. were kept in by their teachers
They were dismissed at The same time
and as the girl left the cloak room the
boy rushed across the hall and just as she
reached the door he grabbed her around
the waist and commenced kissing her.
She fought him off the best she could and
while she was endeavoring to free her
self from his grasp the young rascal kept
calling her his sweetheart.
Her screams finally frightened him and
he ran rapidly down the steps. She re-
turned to her teacher, Miss Mamie Can
field, and reported the case to her. She
told Principal Ogan and the next day the
lad was taken in charge.

RurpIary in Lees

We are informed that on Saturday
night, about p m, the store Of R. B. Gil
liam, general merchant, at Lees, 5. o.,
was burglarized and the safe blown open.
Just before the burglar finished his work,
however, late home-comer discovered
that something was amiss in the Gillian
store. He ran over to the residence OF
Mr.. Gillian, which was nearby, awaken
ed him, and one or two other neighbors,
and returned to the store.
When the store was surrounded the
burglar was called upon to surrender
He answered this demand with volley
of shots. None of them took effect,
though some of the besieging party had
narrow escapes.
After several exchanges of shots the
burglar made dash to the rear door of
the store, where Mr. Gillian was station
ed. As soon as he put his head out for a
survey of the field, Mr.. Gillian fired.
The agonizing cry that followed the
shot showed it had taken effect. The
burglar yelled that lie was dying and was
willing to surrender.
Not knowing how many intruders were
in the store or if the burglars cry of pain
was real, Mr.. Gillian shouted to him to
throw his weapons outside the door and
come out. This the burglar quickly did.
He was soon taken in custody, when it
was found that his left eye was shot out
and the left side Of his face was terribly
lacerated.
4 physician was summoned and the
mans wounds dressed. Later he was sent
to Bambcrg, S. c., and confined in the jail
at that place.
r The burglar proved to be a young man
of good appearance, being we'll dressed
and possessing an air of refinement.
Upon being questioned he stated that his
name was Wilson and that he was from
Knoxville, Tenn.
While his wounds are severe and pain
full, there is no probability of the young
man dying.-Augusta Chronicle.

Senator McLaurin writes that he will
do all that he can for our public building
This is good news. We believe that he
can do much and we had expected him to
do. what he could, but are nevertheless
most highly gratifed to know that he will
not disappoint US. This public building
was really his conception. His pride in
his own work will prompt him to make
an effort to see it crowned with success.
Senator McLaurin is valuable friend at
court. He will find that his efforts in
Fiorence's behalf will be appreciated here
and throughout this section of the state.

The Florence Times has in the past

Mr.. Martin was talking at the dinner
table, in his usual clever manner, about
the inconsistency of women.
"These young ladies who protest that
they are never going to marry" he
broke out. Everybody knows they will
belle their own words at the very first
opportunity"
He paused, and evidently hoped that
Mrs. Martin would come to the rescue of
her sex; but that discreet woman held
her tongue.
"Why, Mary" he continued, "you re-
member how it was with yourself. Ihave
heard you say more than once that you
wouldn't marry the best man alive"
"Well, didn't" said Mrs. Martini

OLD FAMILIES OF VENICE.
Their Fortunes Are Dissipated and
Their Palaces Sold.

Their Fortunes Are Dissipated and
Their Palaces Sold.
Very few Of the fine old palaces Of
Venice belong to the descendants Of the
families who built and originally occu-
pied them. Very little Of the enormous
wealth for which Venice was celebrat-
ed In the fifteenth century remains.
The most Of it has been dissipated by
the descendants Of the men who made
It. the same as in England, France ana
other countries. The rich men Of Ven
ice today are an entirely new class OF
people, whose names do not appear in
the Golden Book, which contained
list Of the patrician families in Venice
who were invited to festivities at the
palace. This book was instituted in
1916 and thenceforth until the Aus
rian occupation was the index and
standard Of nobility by which all claims
to precedence were decided.
Occasionally the grand council, by
vote, rewarded the gallantry or public
services Of some citizen of humble
birth by directing that his name be In
scribed upon it's pages. None but those
whose names were in the Golden BOOK
could use the golden stairs when they
entered a doge's palace, and when this
right was conferred it was equivalent
to an order of nobility In another coun-
try. There Is one notable exception to
the decay of the ancient families, and
he is Count Grimani, who traces his
lineage back to one Of the most fa-
nous Of the doges, whose portrait,
painted by Titan, hangs In the council
chamber of the doge's palace. The
Grimani palace Is on the Grand canal,
near the Rialto bridge, and Is cele-
brated for it's finely sculptured capt.
tails.
Many Of the rich men In Venice to-
day are Jews. They practically control
the banking business and manufacture
ing. They own the fine houses of his
torical interest and the best paying es-
tates on the mainland In the neigh
borhood. The present wealth Of Venice
is invested not so much in real estate
as in banking, manufacturing, -four
mills, elevators, gas companies, cotton
mills, the manufacture Of glass and In
steamships upon the Adriatic.-Chicago

The Love Story Of George Eliot.

The world has always judged pretty
harshly the union of George Eliot and
George Henry Lewes; not for itself, but
for its influence upon others. The early
life of George Eliot and the nature of her
intimacy with Mr. Lcwes and the strong
personality of each are feelingly discussed
in the March Delineator by Clara E.
Laughlin in her series on Authors Loves.
Certainly George Eliot's four and twenty
years of life with Lewes were idyllic, full
of earnest purpose and unremitting labor
and crowned with a perfection of mutual
understanding and helpfulness. MIR.
Lewes first encouraged her to write fiction
and her success proved his wisdom; her
novels bear ample testimony to this. The
article is accompanied by some rare illus
tratiOnS.

MARRIAGE IN ARABIA.
The Wedding Procession an E1abo
rate and Noisy Affair.

The Wedding Procession an Elabo-
rate and Noisy Affair.
A marriage procession among the
Arabs Is a very elaborate affair. The
camel which bears the bride Is deco
rated with bright henna dye on his
neck and shoulders, while there are
verses from the Koran inscribed on the
hangings. His uncouth legs are often
swathed with bright cloths, his head
bedecked with plumes and small mir
rors, while his back is resplendent
with bright colored bits Of tinsel,
which glisten against patchwork of
many hued cloths. A hood or cage
conceals the bride, and no doubt adds
to the discomfort Of the cramped ride
on the beast. There are attendants,
and last Of all the musicians, chiefly
drummers, who attract the crowds by
their incessant pounding on small but
high keyed instruments.
If the Journey to the groom's home
Is a short one, it is heightened by stops
at frequent intervals, and all the while
the lover must not show any eagerness
to welcome her, no matter what his
feelings may be. The Arab may be af-
fectionate, but he cannot with dignity
betray emotion. Among the lower
classes bufoons accompany the pro-
cession with performing bears or other
wild animals, and when the bride Is
wealthy largess is distributed along
the route in the form Of clothes or coin.
When the groom's tent or fixed home
has been reached, the bride Is expected
to show great reluctance about enter
ing it, and in some cases she has to be
lifted by the husband over the blood
of sheep he has just slain.-Woman's
Home Companion.

Sensational Story About Warren.

Barlow Warren, a fugitive from justice
on two charges of train robbery and one
) of murder, and for whom there is a re-
ward of $1,000 offered by the State of
South Carolina, if he is taken alive, has
been found.
Since the express robbery near Branch
vile some time ago, people have been on
the lookout for Warren, but no definite
trace could be gotten of him.
A railroad conductor coming into
Augusta this afternoon stated to Herald
reporter that the people of Yemassee are
considerably excited and all the talk Of
the little settlement is of a visit the out
law paid that place this morning.
Early this morning, shortly after the
two or three stores of the place had been
opened the people collected around them
noticed man coming up the railroad
track rather shabbily dressed and with a
brace of pistols buckled on the outside of
his coat.
When the man got near enough to be
recognized and his back was seen it was
noticed that he had a piece of paper
pinned on his back on which was written:
81 am Barlow Warren. If you want me
take me-"
Warren is we'll known to many people
around Yemassee, and it is said that he
knows the woods and swamps in that
part of the country as well as he does the
home in which he was raised.
Very unconcernedly he walked directly
to the sore of Mr.. Pinkney, on the right
side of the railroad going down, went in
and stood against the counter for short
time with hand on each of the pistols
while standing in the store, talked with
the proprietor for few minutes and then
went away.
The reward offered for the criminal
states that he must be taken and turned
over to the state alive and knowing the
desperate character of the man no one
seemed to care to run the risk of being
killed for the sake of the reward, and it is
further known that Warren will never be
taken alive unless taken while asleep.
The people of Yemassee believe that
Warren has some friend in that section
who knows his hiding place and has been
supplying him with food.-Augusta

would die, but few doses of One Minute

LONGEVITY.
