culture, which is requisite to good
citizenship. Respectfully,

Splendid Affair.

Washington day was beautifully
observed at our new and magn1t-
cent college, February 81.
The four large and finely finished
halls were decorated with flags,
and bunting streamers Hoated gay
ly from the wide portals as we
passed through and up the winding
stairs. where the odor of flowers
greeted US carnations, violets with
pretty maiden-hair fern artistically
interlaced one with the other.
The teachers and superintendent
were smiling and gracious to all that
came. The pupils acquitted them
selves in a manner that reflected
much credit to their instructors.
The recitations were splendid IN
deed and we'll delivered The songs
were suited to the occasion, and as
the music rose in accord with the
500 happy voices ! glanced out
side upon the scene below, and the
ice-bound trees and snow brought
wildly to us the hero of Valley
Forge. Wondered if the grandest
man that ever lived in one respect
was not near in spirit form to catch
the sound of these happy cheerful
voices singing in his honor.
Three small children impressed
us very much. Katy Belle Darrah's
song was lovely indeed, With prop
er training in voice the charming
tot certainly has future. Ruth
little girl of only eight
years, recited splendidly, SO clear
and distinct. Lady Mary Kinnard
sang her song in touching and
beautiful way. Each one did ex-

ity in each grade. Only four days
we're allowed for practice this apart
from lesson hours. 1t seemed i'm
possible, yet it was achieved and
the crown of success should satisfy
the most severe critic.
Mr.. Darrah, the princely superin-
tendent, and his twelve proficient
teachers deserve much honest praise
for their labors towards the uplift-
ing and cultivation of children that
will one day be men and women of
our city, useful and learned if they
follow the examples set forth by the
force now IN command.

TILLMAN-McLAURIN FIGHT.
Personal Encounter in the Senate on
Washington s Birthday

The two senators from South
Carolina were the active partici-
pants in the affray. Mr. Tillman
i'll the course OF a speech upon the
Philippine tariff bill made serious
reflection upon the honor Of his
colleague, Mr.. McLaurin. In brief,
he charged that his vote in support
of the ratification of the treaty OF
Paris had been cast through the
exercise of improper influences.
His statement was developed III a
colloquy between him and Mr..
Spooner, OF Wisconsin. Mr. Till
man first declined to mention
names, but when the Wisconsin
Senator reminded him that he owed
it to himself, to the Senate and to
the country to name the man, Mr..
Tillman indicated that he referred
to his colleague from South Carroll
ma. Little imagining that his words
we're likely to be prophetic. Mr..
Spooner remarked sententiously:
II will leave the Senator to fight
that out with. his colleague
Mr.. McLaurin was not in the
chamber at the time, being engag-
ed in committee work, but he was
sent for and appeared just as MT.
Tillman concluded his speech.
Pale as ashes, Mr., McLaurln
arose to address the Senate, speak
ing to a question of person privi-
lege. He reviewed Mr.. Tillman's
charges briefly, and then denounc-
ed the statement made by his col
league as a wilful, malicious and
deliberate lie.
Scarcely had the portentious
words fallen from his lips when Mr..
Tillman, sitting few seats from
him, with Mr. Teller, of Colorado,
between them, sprang at him. Mr..
McLaurin, who had half turned to-
ward Mr.. Tiilman, met him half
way, and in an instant the two SEN
ators, having swept Mr.. Teller
aside, were engaged in a rough and
tumble fight. Mr.. McLaurin re-
ceived a heavy blow on the fore
head, while Mr.. T>illman got a bad
punch on the nose, which brought
blood.
Assistant Sergeanr-at-Arms Lay
ton sprang over desks to reach and
the combatants, and him
self received several blows. He got
between them finally, and by main
strength wrenched them apart.
Senators Warren, of Wyoming, and
Scott, of West Virginia, two of the
most powerful men in the Senate,
leaped to his assistance, and, pin
iouing the arms of the belligerent
forced them into their
seats.
Intense excitement prevailed IN
the Senate and galleries, which
we're thronged with people.
Everybody was on his feet. Not
A word was spoken.
Senator'S stood about the cham
Der for the moment quite helpless
and pale to the lips. Finally, order
was restored partially and in the
midst of intense excitement the
Senate went into executive session.

THE majority in the Senate has
distinguished itself upon the lines
already mapped out by the present
Administration in refusing Till
man and McLaurin a vote in the
Senate. That party rejects the
rights of the people and their rep
resentatives upon occasions to
suit their convenience. 1t has no
regard for the traditions and Gus
toms of this Government. This
may not be imperialism, but most
any man of ordinary sense can tell
