attack of the mumps in his family.
Yard engine No. 1O01, while max
ing her trip to Spartanburg,
Sunday night, got out of water
near Bonhams on account OF
a check valve in the pump getting

passing freight train.
Mr.. F. M. Cudd has the champion
Bantam hen Of the city. This little
hen laid three egSs in one day, says
Mr.. Cudd. He vouches for the truth
Of the statement. There is only one
bantam hen on his place. He says
the hen made her nest one morning,
and entered upon the first laying
contract in her experience. She
went off late in the afternoon aud
there were three bantam eggs in the
nest. This was pretty good for a
beginning.
The Bailey Furniture Co. had one
Of the prettiest displays of furniture,
rugs and china ware on exhibition
Friday and Saturday that we have
seen anywhere. His mammoth don,
blestore, connected by several hand
SOME arches in the partition walls, is
literally full Of furniture OF every
conceivable pattern and design, while
the great art squares hang from CELL
ing to floor on the side wall, showing
them off to the very best advantage,
and the prices tagged on them put
them in the reach of all. His china
closets, with the pieces tastefully ar
ranged, are very attractive.

Washington, May 24.-The Right Honorable Lord Pauncefote of Pres 1 ton, G. c. B., c. c. NJ. G., the first ambassador to the United States and the
 dean of the diplomatic corps in Wash l ington was born in Munich, Bavaria, 74 years ago and was the issue of one
 of the most ancient British families,
 whose history is founded in the Dooms-
 day book. Educated as a lawyer, his
 governmental service began in Hong
 Kong as attorney general in 1865, and
 after much valuable colonial eXperi-
 ence he came to Washington in 1885,
 first as minister and afterward as am- 1 bassador His service here has been
 one unbroken record of successful diplomacy.
 The Behring Sea negotiations were
 among his earliest works of importance
 and it was his familiarity with that
 difficult subject that led to his selec- tion by the foregn office for the most
 at Washington. The arbitration
 treaty negotiated by Secretary Olney
 as the forerulmer of the great work
 accomplished at the Hague, and it
 may be said that it embodied some of
 the most important principles of the | SI0dL 2SieIdl cOHA0uLlOu regulating
 arbitration afterwards framed by the
 Hague conference. Then came a num-
 Der of reciprocity treaties and arrange ments involving a vast amount of
 study and work. all of which were per | fected as far as the executive branch | of our government could cooperate with Lord Pauncefote. Soon after | Secretary Hay assumed office Lord
 Pauncefote began the task which he l himself regarded as the greatest ac- complishment of his busy life, namely l to forever set at rest the questions
 growing out of the old Clayton-Bul
 wer treaty and he entered with ener- l gy again upon negotiations, the result
 of which was the framing of the Hay I Pauncefote treaty recently ratified. | For these valuable services the British l government did Lord Pauncefote the
 honor to three times extend the term
 of his service at Washington, which
 would have otherwise have ceased when he attained the age of 70 years. London, May 24.-The first news of l the death of Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador at Washington, ] this morning was conveyed by a repre- sentative of the Associated press to
 the British foreign office and the
 United States embassy. The officials were greatly shocked and expressed
 the deepest sympathy for the widow
 and a realization of the loss which both countries have sustained. The foreign office representatives were
 deply affected as they apparently, had no idea that. the ambassadors condi- l ton had been critical. No action will. l be taken in all probability, except the sending of private messages of condol- ence before Monday next
