WELL DONE.

EDITOR CITIZEN:-We desire to
express through your columns our
views as pretty we'll, illustrating the
feeling in upper Lancaster towards
the efficiency of our Representative
in the Legislature, Hon. John NJ.
Lyell.
1t has been some years since we
had one who so thoroughly repre-
sented the wishes and interests of
the representative people of our
county as at the present time, audit
is due Mr.. Lyell tpat some apprecia-
ton be expressed in public man
ner. While representing us ably in
every capacity he has conferred two
distinct boons upon the people of
the county-his passage of an eff
Gent local option law and his selec-
ton Of representative men for the
Electoral Board.
AS recently, expressed by some
writer In your paper, if he had done
nothing else save these two acts
Lancaster county could feel we'll re-
paid for the honor conferred upon
him. 1t will be interesting (if not
honest services will go with the poll
TEXANS When the people get hold
OF so good a man it is naturally
their desire to keep him in the posi-

case with the politicians, who unless

The House of Representatives
passed a bill for the election of
United States Senators by the
people, but when it came up before
the Senate the opportunity was
seized by Senator Depew to tack on
an amendment in the nature of a
Force Bill for the South. This was
done, of course, to defeat the propo-
sItlon for the popular election of
Senators, and succeeded admirably,
since Democratic Senators were
forced to vote against it or subject
the party in the South to the rigors |
OF Federal espionage at national
elections.

Some Richmond scribe who eyi
IDENTIFY got on the "bob-tail, end OF
the Virginia procession at Charles.
ton has unburdened his disgrun tied
soul and told the Virginia people
that Governor Montague and his
delegation did not receive the atten-
ton which they expected while
visiting the Exposition. Most likely
that reporter was without credentials
and failed to get free passes and such
other courtesies as were extended TO
the Virginia press. There may have
been some lew others in the same
box, but sentiments such as he ex-
pressed do not pervade a majority of
those attending the Charleston Ex-
position on Virginia Day. Such
. false reports do the South Carolina
people great injustice, and naturally
wound the pride of Yirginians.
Nowhere at such large undertaking
could more courtesy have been dis
played and such attention showered
upon delegations than was the for
tune of Virginians last week. The
show, while not up to Chicago or
Buffalo as standards, is still an ex.
ceedingly interesting one, and when
we consider the size of Charleston
with only twenty-five thousand
whites, and probably double that
number Of blacks-and that they
received no Federal assistance. as the |
others did, the South Caroliniaus
have done remarkably well. If there !
is anything lacking in the exhibit it
Is more than made up by the cour-
tesy. poIiteness and assiduous atten-
ton given visitors by the Charleston
people. Charleston is purely a
Southern city, without the Northern
dash to enliven its languor, and re,
tains to the fullest the atmosphere
OF Southern chiyalry and hospitality.

many ways from the few days spent

SINGULAR MAxlMS.
Old Thine Rules For the Table by this
German Poet Won Zirkler.

Old Thine Rules For the Table by this
Gcrman Poet Won Zirlller.
That our ancestors We're not so well
managed as we are is evident from the
following rules, which were laid down
by Tommasin Won Zirkler, a German
poet, in regard to the conduct of host
and his guest at a dinner party. These
singular maXims were recently I'M
earthed and have now been reprinted:
Every host should take care that
his guests have enough to eat and that
they are not served with dishes that
they do not want. In return the guests
should behave properly and should be
satisfied with whatever is placed be-
fore them.
"a guest should not eat all his bread
before the first dishes are served, nei.
Their should he eat with both hands nor
drink nor talk when his mouth is full.
1T is not polite to turn toward one'z
neighbor and to offer him a winecuI
from which one is still drinking.
Zone should not eat greedily and
hastily as though the dinner had been
paid for, neither should one take any
food from his neighbours plate. In a
word, each person should accept what
Is offered and ask for nothing else.
when there is some one on the right
hand, it is permissible to eat with the
left hand.
while one is drinking the eyes
should be steadily fixed on the wine
cup.
1T is improper to place ones hand in
q dish while another person il taking
some food from it.
zone should always have the hands
clean and the nails cut short, as other.
wise those persons who are eating from
the same dish are likely to become dis
gusted.
A guest should never put his ell
bows on the table. neither should he
chatter all the time nor clean his teeth
with a knife. - Chicago Herald.
