HONEY HAD VANISHED.
Rude Shock for Young Man on His
 Wedding Trip.

Philadelphia Ledger.
 A young Philadelphian whom we may call Johnson, because that Is not his name, was married several days ago, and 1t occurred to him that he would take his bride into an upstate town on their honeymoon.
 He was particularly desirous of visit ing this town, as he told his bride, be- cause at the hotel where he intended staying they served such delicious honey at every meal"
 That will be delightful" said Mrs. Johnson.
 The couple arrived at the hotel in due course. and they were just in time for tea. Johnson escorted his bride proudly to table in the dining room and then after an admiring glance at her looked quizzically round the board.
 There was no honey on the table ard none in the room. Johnson was surnrIseG and called a waiter.

His Last Hope Realized. !.

From The Sentinel, Geho, Mont.l
 Tn the first opening of Oklahoma to set tiers in 1889. the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after fortune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water. which. together with the severe heat, gave him very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check. and along in June the case became so bad he ex- pected to die. One day one of his neigh bors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlsin's Collie, Cholera and Dlar- rhoea Remedy as last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the dose was repeated The good effect of the medicine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for a fortnight. That one little bottle worked complete cure. and he cannot help but feel grateful The season for bowel dis orders being at hand suggests this item

The snake had clasped the young lady closely about the knee. Her fingers came in con- tact with the siimy back of the reptile as she sought the cause of her discomfit- ure. The snake must have presented pretty much the appearance of one of those toy reptiles that girls have a fad for wearing about their waists. The screams of the young lady brought hur- ried assistance. A farm hand caught the snake by the neck and -arefully un- wound it from his peculiar resting place
 The young lady fainted immediately after the snake had been killed.

On Chrrge of Peonags.

Spartanburg. Special.-In the court
OF United States Commissioner Will
liam MCGOWAN. an interesting matter
came up for consideration. 1t was the
preliminary hearing of E. C. Daniels,
a well-to-do farmer Of the county,
charged with being guilty Of peonage.
or holding a person in unlawful servi-
tude. Mr.. R. X. Carson represented
the defendant and Mr.. C. P. Sims the

alleged the act or peonage was I'M
posed by Daniels. was kept by Daniels
for a period Of five yers. During this
time the negro ran away several times,
and when caught, severe punishment
was inflicted on his body. On August
l the negro engaged to work for Mr..
C. B. Kirby, resident Of the same
neighborhood with M. Daniels. Mr..
Kirby, by the way, Is the person who
swore out the marrant against Dan
iels While the negro boy was driving

him on the roadside. and with plow
line irfiicting a severe flogging. Attor-
ney Carson, for the defense, introduced

pervisor Howell and DR.. S. S. Daniels,
brother of E. c. Taniels. whereby the
negro was bonded, or bound out, for
a stated term. and his attorney took
the position that the contract could be

Disuuieting Rumors.

Sofia. By Cable.-With the rumors
OF massacres and the murder OF prls-
oners in Monastir now authenticated,
the general situation is considered
here as fast becoming intolerable. ofli-
cial and diplomatic circles alike are
concerned, having every reason to .ear
that only a part OF the horrors en-
acted in the interior Of Macedonia
have come to light as yet. The revolu-
tionary committees are doing their Ut
most to force the hands Of the Bull
garian government and the immediate
outlook is exceedingly serious.
It appears that the Turks have OBJ
tanned the upper hand in the villayet OF
Monastir and the insurgents are plan
ming to move the centre Of their ac-
tivity close to the Bulgarian frontier.
Dispatches arriving today from the
disturbed area are exceedingly gloomy.
From Andrianople comes the news OF a
Turkish defeat and the extension OF
the revolutionary outbreak from Mon
astir, the news OF Turkish victories Is
accompanied by barbsrious excesses.
While many Of the reports remain
without confirmation, sufficient au-
thentic details are forthcoming to
cause the. authorities the greatest an1-
iety. According to the Sofia D'Nevrick
the Turks committed unspeakable
atrocities at Krushevo. The mutilated
corpses Of 80 women and children were
.ound in one building; pieces Of the
bodies had been thrown into the street.
Fifteen of the principal merchants OF
the town were killed and their heads
exhibited on poles.
At Monastir the churches were de-
molished, the houses sacked and the
town Is now in q heap Of ashes. The
populace fed to the hills. where they
are in a starving condition. The
D'Nevrick also asserts that a general
massacre has taken place in the whole
villayet of Monastir. Nearly all OF
the villages have been destroyed. The
treacherous murder of so insurgent
prisoners by their guards near Mon
astir has made an especially bad i'm
preston here.
Many rumors are current Of massa
cres in the city Of Andrianople. but
confirmation is lacking. The situation
there. however. undoubtedly is seri-
Gus. The population is afraid to leave
the houses. The prisons are full.
When the Russian consul protested at
the situation. the Vail is reported to
have answered that he was powerless
against the fanatical population.

visions. and just as soon as the banana
plantations have been restored, the
line will be resumed. The Boston, ia
maica and Philadelphia and Jamaica
lines are obliged to be operated, be-
causo OF the mail contract, and there is
sufficient fruit in Jamaica to make
the continuance Of steamers between
these ports profitable.
