His Pills.

A Charleston man tells this story
about a negro divine of South Caro-
lima:
The preacher was wont to boast
that he could base his sermon on
any subject whatsoever and yet in
still religion into it. One Sunday
be said to his congregation:
"Now, let any of the brethren
name a thing to talk about. Any
thing"
'"Talk about pills." shouted an
elder who sat in the front row.
''Pills, Ell % the preacher respond.
ed. "A good subject. AS you
know, brethren, there is many sorts
Of pills. There is sugar coated pills,
which can cure most anything.
There is bromide pills, which makes
you sleep. There is quinine pills,
f.; chi!Is But the kind OF pills III

The Wager

The Cafe Jean was situated at
the corner of a quiet street in
! Paris - remarkably quiet at all
times, considering the near proxim-
ity of noisy and much frequented
boulevard, but particularly so after
II o'clock at night.
Late one evening most Of the ha-
bitues of this bright and comforta-
bic cafe had taken their departure,
raising their hats, as the manner is
in France, to Nine. Jean, the smart
ly dressed and dignifed proprietress,
who, sitting at her post behind the
marble compton, smiled and bowed
in return as they went out. The
blinds we're already down and the
doors closed in preparation for the
night.
Madame sat a little longer, lis
tening to the gossip of the neigh
oorhood gathered during the day
by the head waiter to retail for hee
specia! amusement when tie days
work was over and one could in
dulge in a little relaxation. Then.
looking round and seeing that near
ly all the well known customers
who every evening played doninoes
or cards and slipped coffee or drank
eau sucre or stronger mixtures un-
der her vigiIant but friendly eve
had left, she retired for the night,
leaving the remainder to the care
of her faithful AIphonse. There
were only about dozen people now
and everything was sleepiIy quiet
in the cafe, when suddenly the STILL
ness was rudely broken by loud
voice exclaiming angrily:
ct is a lie! l don't believe
word of it, and l defy you to prove
it,"
All looked up, startled, from
game or newspaper as these words
burst from one Of the occupants of
a small table at the farthest end of
the room. The speaker seemed very
much excited. His companion, or
the contrary, remained cool and
self possessed under the provoca-
ton, but his white face and pecuI
lar glittering eyes beIied that out
ward appearance and arrested at
tention when noticed.
The two had been engaged for
some time in close and earnest con-
versation. without raising their
voices, interrupted only now and |
then by subdued EXPLANATIONS and |

lncreduIous remarks from the eX-
cited man, which evidently did not
succeed in either shaking or NOV
ing the pale man, who continued
talking to him and answering his
objections quietly until his oppo-
nent, losing all self control, sprang
to his feet and violently disturbed
the inmates of the cafe by the angry
! words quoted above.
Seeing that he had attracted gen.
eral attention, he looked around
and said:
"GentIemen, I appeal to you all.
[ am sorry if | have disturbed you
with somewhat violent language,
but you shall judge whether I am
justified in refusing to believe the
story l have just heard. We hap
pened to sit at the same table and
naturally entered into conversation.
Our talk drifted from one subject
to another until | made some jok-
ing remark about the so called

ries of the spiritual world. | grant
it is fascinating subject even for

the spirits Of the departed can and
do revisit this earth when they
have promised to do so passes the
b: ,,nds of credulitv. Ny neighoor
It's this most extraordinary story:
Two years ago tonight he lost his
>i=a-est friend, a lifelong friend,
who on his deathbed. seeing his
despair, solemniy promised that he
would appear to him on the ami
versary Of his death. which took
place about midnight, if this friend
invoked his spirit. He atfirms that
he has already seen him once since
he died. Now, | ask YOU as men of
sense, living in the r%net zenith cen
fury, is it p1'E+Shld ~ Delleve such
statemer' ?"
The pale man had flushed angriIy !
during this speech, but it was only
a transient betrayal Of feeling, for
his face resumed its former rAlIor.
although his eyes retained their
strange light, and it was with |
marked expression more Of annoy
ance than anger that he replied |
calmly:
"lt is nothing to me whether Won

a fact. and it is the truth. You !

zion only, whereas actual expert
mental knowledge is rare and not
often communicated. | told you
! what my privileged experience had
been, and I can prove it, incredible
as it may appear to you"
While he was speaking a number
of new arrivals had invaded the
cafe, calling in on their way from a
neighboring thoater for a drink or
a cigar. Their curiosity being
aroused by the words they had par
TALLY heard, they drew near to lis
ten and, being informed of what
had happened, joined the others in
discussing the pros and cons Of this
debatable topic, some laughingly,
some seriously, according to the
view they took of the subject. No
one seemed to take it very seriousl ~,
however, except a few, who shook
their heads doubtfullv, while others
laughed at them and joked about
spirits. Above the Babel-Iike noise
EXPLANATIONS and snatchcs of con-
versation could be heard, such as:
''ImpossibIe!" "Who knows? Do
you:" 'What will you bet ?" II am
no fool!!'' 81 bet a hundred francs
he cant prove it," ''Strange things
happen!" etc.
The gambling element asserting
itself, bets ran high, and it was
finally agreed to deposit the stakes
in the hands of the increduIous
man, and then they called upon the
spiritualist with the weird look in
his eyes to make good his words.
He seemed strangely reluctant
and sighed and hesitated, but at
last he made up his mind and said:
'EIf comply with your request,
you must all submit to my condi-
lions. You must give me your
promise that no one will attempt to
intrude upon me or disturb me in |
any way and that l shall have one
witness with me-"
This was considered quite reason
thle, and all consented readily.
81 need not add that of course
you will hold yourselves bound in
honor to keep the conditions faith
fully. You, sir" he continued, fix
ing his basilisk eye on his oppo-
nent, who WINGED perceptibly, shall
be that witness, You must accom-
pany me into the next room. The
doors shall be left open, and you
will have to describe aloud what

turns out to be painful one, you
have only yourself to thank for it. %
With these words he rose and
walked toward the corridor leading
to the inner part Of the house and
beckoned to the other man, who, BY
this time considerably subdued. hes
itated for minute; but, putting on
the best face he could, he took up a
lighted lamp from a table and fol-
lowed him into the first room to
the right, leaving the doors wide
open.
AS they disappeared a strange
hush fell over the noisy and excited
company. Silence reigned for some
time, until tie twelve strokes of
midnight we're heard sounding dis
family from a church clock. Then
a voice arose in the next room, say
ing slowly and solemnly:
'Maurice Durand, thou who didst
promise that on the anniversary of
our cruel parting thou wouldst give
me the consolation of seeing thee
again if I called upon thee to ap-
pear, remember thy promise! Dear
friend, I entreat thee come! Maui
rice, appear"
Then came pause, amid breath
less silence, but soon the voice was
heard again, saying:
'Maurice, remember thy VOW! I
beseech thee, appear!"
Another silence. Then another
voice was heard, saying in tremu-
lous accents:
'There is faint light in the
darkest part of the room. It takes
shape! It approaches! 1t is-ah! l.
Away"
An unearthly shrek rent the air,
followed by a crash and a heavy
fall, and then all was silence once
more.
The startled listeners looked at
each other with dismay. Some had
turned pale, while others looked i'll
at ease, but all felt uncertain, irres-
olute what to do. Some time elaps-
ed before it was suggested that they
ought to disregard their promise
and go in and see what had hap
pened, so as to render assistance if
it were needed. A move was made
toward the room, but it was in total
darkness. A light was procured,
and this was what they found:
The room was empty. the lamp
was upset, the table overturned and
the window wide open - the two
men had gone and the stakes with
them.

TENANTS WERE GARNISHED.

Occupants of Johnston Property
Must Not Pay Their Rent to Owner.
The half dozen or more tenants of
the property at the northwest corner
of Bull and Broughton streets, which
has been attached by W. E. Wimpy
on a claim for $25, 900 damages he has
against the owner, Mrs. Lula H. john
ston of San Antonio, Tex, were yes
terday served with summons of gar
nishment for the amounts of their
rent.
Wr Wimpy has declined to discuss
the purpose for which he wished to
use the property. 1t was rumored
yesterday that one of the local banks
was behind the deal, but this was de-
MED. -
The price at which Mrs. Johnston is
said to have agreed to sell the prop
erty is 100000. This is in reality for
the land. as the buildings are all small
and old, and would probably be dis
mantled promptly upon the property
changing hands. There has been talk
of the improvement of the corner for
many years, but at the rents which it
was paying the owner did not care to
increase the value of the property.
None of the attorneys interested would
discuss the matter.

HAS BEEN misunderstood.
Col Gardiner Writes That He Has
Not Opposed Savannah.

Col. Asa Bird Gardiner. in letter
to Mr.. R. T. Waller. which was re-
ceived yesterday morning, wrote that
he has been misunderstood relative to
the re-interment of the remains of Gen.
Nathaniel Greene. Savannah, Col.
Gardiner. wrote, should be the place
where the relics of the hero of the
Revolution should rest, and such has
been his opinion from the first.
This information was received with
satisfaction, as it is certainly true that
Col. Gardiner has been misunderstood.
The newspaper accounts of his posi-
ton and his own letters have been
taken as indicative of a desire to have
the remains buried in Rhode Island.
This declaration was made as an en-
closure of another letter that Mr..
Waller received from Col. Gardiner,
who as is well known, is president of
the Society of the Cincinnati in Rhode
Island, and who prosecuted the search
that resulted in the discovery of the
remains of Gen. Greene at Savannah
A copy of this other letter was received
by Col George A. Mercer, Mr. A. d.
Harden, Mr.. Walter G. Charlton, Mr..
T. ID. Daffin and Mr.. William Harden.
The communication was not so person.
al as the Enclosure 70 Mr.. Waller.
Col. Gardiner wrote the several
gentlemen that the Rhode Island So
ciety of the Cincinnati had given it's
consent to the re-interment of the re-
mains at Savannah. This was after
having given the matter mature con-
sideration, the wishes of the descend
ants having been ascertained to be that
this course be followed. Next fall the
remains will be placed, with those of
Gen. Greene's son, beneath the Greene
monument in Johnson square.
Each of the gentlemen who received
the letter were on the committee
named by Col. Gardiner to aid in the
search for the remains. They are in
vited to remain on a committee for the
re-interment of the remains and to in
vite the aid of the Governor and the
Legislature of Georgia, the Society of
the Cincinnati of South Carolina, the
municipal authorities of Savannah and
all the Savannah patriotic societies.
Col. Mercer is asked to act as vice
chairman, in the absence of Col. Gardi-
ner, and IL is suggested that he invite
all the descendants of Gen. Greene to
attend the ceremonies.
This would seem to indicate a. con-
fict, as the descendants of Gen. Greene
have already requested the Daughters
OF the American Revolution to take
charge of the arrangements for the in
interment of the remains, and a gem
eral committee, with that purpose in
view, has been organized.

ARRESTED AN OFFICER.
south Carolina Deputy and His Pris-
Oner Were in Custody.

Oner Were in Custody.
A colored officer from Beaufort and
a negro in his custody were arrested
yesterday by Patrolman Nose Davis
but were later released, and the
charges against them taken off the
blotter at police headquarters.
The officer is H. d. Bythewood and
the prisoner M. Jenkins. Bythewood
was charged with being a suspicious
character and Jenkins with having
been drunk and disorderly. Bythewood
had his man on River street when
officer Davis placed both under arrest
Bythewood told who he was, but
couldn't satisfy the patrolman. jenkins
claimed that the colored officer had
touched him for 81 and his story was
swallowed
At the station house Bythewood had
no trouble in Identifying himself and
was released from custody, and the
charge against his prisoner was dis
missed. Patrolman Davis was some
what chagrined at the turn the case
took. A telegram from Sheriff Jenkins
of Beaufort county to Bythewood had
been received during the morning by
Supt. Reilly and was held by the desk
sergeant for the South Carolina Off
Ger. but he failed to show up until
sent in as a. prisoner. The telegram
was an order for Bythewood to arrest
the negro Jenkins, who is known as
Scipio. Patrolman Davis claimed that
Jenkins and Scipio are different indi-
viduals, but the Beaufort officer is sure
of his man. The arrest of Bythewood
and jenkins caused considerable talk
in DOlice circles,
