The situation at Sterling, OH the
Northern Pacific is unchanged and will
remain SO unless the railway company
builds n new track around this suddenly
formed lake. There were no passengers
transferred across the lake Sunday be-
cause of the danger attending the work.
Passengers report the lake thirty miles
long and about two miles wide with Il
depth of sixteen feet. When the wind
blows waves roll so high that no boat
at the command of the company can
safely cross. 1t is estimated that three

New YOrk's Most Famous Wedding.

Perhaps the most sensational ceremony
of marriage that has ever been performed
in New York was the one known every"
where in the United States as the "Dia~
mond Wedding" 1t was the union of i
daughter of Lieutenant Bartlett, of the
United States Navy, to a Cuban gentle
man of great wealth, Don Estaban Santa
Cruz de Oviedo. AS generous as he was
opulent, Oviedo lavished upon the bride
more than one hundred thousand dollars
worth Of pearls and diamonds. The nup.
ital rites were solemnized by Archbishop
Hughes; Stedman cOmmemorated the
event in a poem, and moralists pointed to
it as an extraordinary instance of the
evils of splendor and luxury that were
corrupting American society. SO great
was the curiosity to witness this wedding
that probably for the first time on such
an occasion cards of admission were is
sued to the church. A squad of police
men was required simply to protect the
bride and groom from strangers who
rushed after them. The magnificent nup
tials, it may be remarked, had a melan-
choly sequel: the bridegroom soon died !;
his widow, under the Spanish laws, was
entitled only to the right of dover, and
all the gifts which he had showered upon
her were taken away from her on the
ground that legally they were heirlooms.

The Branchyille Train Robbers.

1t has now been several weeks since the
Branchville train robbery took place and
as yet the authorities are apparently as far
as ever from solution of the mystery.
Rewards have been offered for the ap-
prehension of the bandits and the country
for miles around the scene of the holdup
has been secured in quest of the guilty
parties. But in spite of the skillful de-
tectiyes and officers of the law generally,
who have been at work on the case, the
robbers have not been captured. The
Young white man and middle-aged
negro, who were arrested and lodged in
the county Jail here few days after the
robbery occurred, on suspicion of know
ing something of the crime, have been
released from custody,th Federal officials
having satisfied themselves that the pris-
oners were not the parties wanted. 1t is
the general opinion that the robbery was
committed by men who live in the neigh
borhood of the scene In that section of
the state, however, there is one Of the
widest strips of country in the United
States. There are some dark and mystery
ious stories connected with the swamps in
upper Colleton and lower Barnwell coun-
ties. 1t is said that strangers entering
them were never seen alive again, and
it is probable that the bandits who held
up the Southern train will never be
brought to justice-News and Courier

Appealed for Protection.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 21.-Therc was
comedy and tragedy in the house of rep
rescntatiyes today. A. G. Lylcs, for ten
years member of the body, one of the
original Tillman supporters, appealed to
the house for protection His voice
trembled with emotion and his face was
pale.
81 ask the house, l beg you, gentlemen" ;"
he said, 'to give me protection from the
governors son, Miles B. McSweeney, Jr."
There was Immediately the keenest inter-
est, every member turned towards Mr..
Lyles and the galleries became hushed.
Representative Lyles drew toward him
boy of fourteen and continued: "This
is my boy and on the floor of this house
the governors son has spit in his face not
once only today, but repeatedly. This
thing must stop. beg protection from
the son of the governor of South Caro-
lima"
Young McSweeney is about sixteen and
of sportive disposition. 1t was report
ed that he ran away with a circus some
time ago, but was brought back in few
days. The house authorized the speaker
to issue cards to visitors and exclude the
governors son from the floor. Politicians
say the incident will cost the governor
many votes if he offers for roffice.-Sayan-

KOester's Nomination.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Collector Geo.
r. Koester was here today and had a
brief interview with the president.
Koester's nomination is still held up in
the senate committee on finance, although
the sub committee to which it was refer
red reported it favorably to the whole
committee. The president has no inten-
ton of withdrawing Mr.. Koestcr's NOM
ination, and his friends in the senate are
confident of his ultimate confirmation.
1t is understood that some of the Re-
publican leaders in South Carolina, who
are fighting Koester's nomination, are
promising to give the South Carolina
delegation to the next republican nation
al convention to any man who will de-
feat Koester's confirmation. Senator Tel
ler, who now acts with the Republicans,
is one of the members of the finance COM
mittee who is opposing Koester's con-

A Treatise on Man.

Man is biped possessing number Of
idiosyncrasies. To fathom such, would be
a life long work. Combined with these
peculiarities are many admirable traits as
is shown by the number of "caps set" for
him. He, however, is greatly averse to
being caught and will race himself nearly
to death to escape feminine pursuer.
If he can pursue and the object of his af-
fections gives him lengthy chase, un-
conquerable determination urges him on
and he will climb any heighth, descend
any depth, span any breadth to reach his
prize.
He is cunning animal, he will stand
at the door on cold night and plead with
sullen persistency for "just one sweet
heart; and if she, in her desire to establish
her earnestness-poor thing!-submits, he
goes off wondering if she ever kissed any
other fellow.
In state of singleness he is very indie
pendent. He can make hasty and per-
feet toilet and be on the minute to fill an
engagement. Matrimony brings about
reform and in six months after he is a
chubby" he can neither adjust his shirt
buttons nor find a pair of cuffs The
temper of this biped is variable. Under
the influence of hunger he is ferocious
and unmanageable, but give him plenty
of apple dumpling and chicken pie, and
he lspses into harmony and will submit
lamb-like to search through his pockets
and dozen questions fired at him in rapid
succession He is naturally brave. He
can face cannons, endure pain-yea give
his life for just cause, but sickens at a
woman's travelling paraphernalia and
kicks at every box, bundle, basket, pot
plant, bird cage, parasol and lunch sack
she hands him. He loves taffy, it pattens
and strengthens him, but it is worth your
happiness to tell him so. Feed him slyly.
Measure well the dose, too much will be
rejected, too little be no good. A correct
amount daily has a happy effect upon
him.
Man balks furiously when driven with
reins of must" and must not. "Please
John" and will you dear?'' moves him on
in delightful, steady gait. He is a posi-
tive nature and wants only negative in his
companion, any masculine tendencies are
repulsive to him. He is the giant oak,
while she must be the clinging vine. If
dealt with weapons of love, patience and
an occasional curtain lecture, which by
the way, must be administered with great
tact, for this animal is immensely opposed
to a euarreling woman and will take to
his heels at even a high pitched tone of
voice.
Let him, as ! have stated, get all he
wants to eat, his slippers and smoking
cap on, seated in his easy chair with read
ing table at his side and then dainty
lecture may be begun, first soft as the fall
of dew, with plenty of 'you know my
DEAR intersperosed) and gradually raise
the voice and gently hint at the burden
of the heart! Observing these rules
rigidly man may be kept with impunity in
all climates and be found to thrive.

One WaV to Obtain RpIeasp.

Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, tells good
campaign story on himself He was max
ing speeches in his congressional district
when member of the house, and arrived
one afternoon at little town. When he
reached the hotel he discovered that the
proprietor, an old friend of his, had vol
unfairly gone to Jail rather than pay what
he believed to be an unjust and illegal tax
The hotel keeper soon learned that Mr.
Dolliver was in town and thereupon sent
this note to the sheriff:
Dear Mr.. Sheriff: Please let me out
of Jail for two hours to hear my friend
Dolliver make speech"
"The sheriff" says Mr.. Dolliver, twas
not only an obliging soul, but he was not
devoid of humor Hesent an order to the
hotel keeper releasing him from jail for
two hours to hear me speak, and then he
added: The remainder of your punish
ment is remitted.' '"--Washington Post.

Kick Them Both Ont.

The disgraceful scenes enacted in the
senate yesterday were enough to bring a
blush of shame to the cheek of every
American, not to say every southern man
and Democrat.
Tillman and McLaurin ought to be ex-
PEELED from that body.
But it is just to say that Tillman was
the aggressor. He first made charge,
without any provocation, against his col
league involving moral turpitude, Nc
Laurin having previously denied the
charge which Tillman reiterated, address
sing another.
The senior senator from South Carolina
is rapidly approaching the rabid, mad-dog
state. Only the day before he referred to
the American soldiers in the Philippines
(among whom are many brave and noble
sons of the south) as "vermin." 1t is time
he was called down-at least repudiated
by the best elements in the southern De-
mocracy.
We have no apologies to offer for any
mistakes that McLaurin may have made,
whatever the motives that may be behind
them, but whatever those mistakes,
Tillman's repeated bullying; his coarse,
conceited jibes and jeers sink himself
only to very low level. Such man
should have no place among the
leaders of southern thought and Democ-
ratio politics. He has at last reached the
plane upon which no self-respecting
southern man should regard and respect
him above the position he has chosen for
himself. His constantly recurring g TRADES
in the senate excite disgust.
When senators cannot deport them
selves as gentlemen, and discuss public
questions without invoking the vocabul-
ary of the gutter, and the methods of the
bully, it is time to retire them at the first
opportunity, and let them seek their equals
elsewhere.
As a representative, in part, of southern
sentiment, and the southern Democracy,
we repudiate this rowdyism.-Macon
Telegraph.

A Mt. Airy woman, who is the proud
mother of six children, makes it a point
to inculcate in them the spirit of modesty.
In following out this idea she is very care
full to keep the sleeping and dressing
apartments of the little boys and the little
girls entirely separate, and there must be
no trespassing. The other day Maurice,
aged Z, strayed into the room where Dor
othy, aged 4, was being dressed by her
nurse. Miss Dorothy was tremendously
shocked. Maurice, go out! she exclaim-
ed. "Go out at once" Maurice grinned
and showed a disposition to take his time
"Maurice! screamed the little maiden.
"Go out at once. Mother will be terribly
angry" AS the little boy turned to go
she continued: "And Maurice, if you are
a gentleman, you will forget what you
have seen !'-Philadelphi Record.

and while the appropriation passed the
house, it was defeated in the Senate,

deciding vote, it being tie. At first he
voted for it, and little later changed his
vote This body needs such an official, as
their duties are constantly increasing and
the necessity for more clerical help is ap-

not passing the appropriation. Other
State officials have stenographers whom
We warrant have less correspondence
than the railroad commission.

The fsticuff between Tillman and Nc
Laurin in the Senate chamber of the
United States last Saturday should bring
a blush of shame to the cheek of every
South Carolinian. We blame no man for
resenting an insult, but the Senate hall
should not be turned into a prize ring.
However, we regret that the Senators
separated the two belligerents. They
should have stood aside and let it be a
fight to the finish. While the RESPONSE
bility for precipitating the row rests upon
Senator Tillman, still we cannot hold
Senator McLaurin entirely blameless in
the matter. 1t is true he had been goad-
ed beyond endurance by the insulting in
situations of Tillman, but we should have
liked his conduct better had he denounced
Tillman as liar elsewhere than on the
floor of the Senate. However, there is
one consolation over the affair, which is
that Tillman has at last fought for being
denounced as liar He has had this epi-
thet applied to him heretofore on several
occasions in this State, and he never at
tempted to resent it. The worst feature
of it is that we candidly believe such con-
duct truly represents South Carolina, for
if Tillman should be expelled for his out
rageous conduct, we have no doubt but
that he would be Immediately reelected,
which to US would mean an endorsement
of his disgraceful action by the people of
the State
