der the administration of Miss Bent, the
superintendent. every endeavor is made
to impress upon those who come under
her care that they are at a place where
the kindly influences of Christian wo-
manhood hold sway. Miss Bent makes
it a point to find out all about every
woman who comes TO her for assist
ance and to meet the requirements OF
her individual case.
At present there are over fifty wo-
men living at the Home. Six of them
are permanent members" and the rest
regular boarders. Upon this payment of
a fee of $3.50 a woman may become a
permanent or life member CT the Home.
She enters the Home and is given her
room and board for the remainder of
her life without having to pay any
monthly or annual fee. The entrance
fee covers all her living expenses and
care as Long as she lives. Provision is
made for the accommodation Of six life
members. and at the present time the
list is full.
Life Members and Boarders.
In addition to the life members there
are number OF regular boarders al
the Home. most of whom are working
girls with very small salaries. Some
work IN the large department stores
some in millinery shops, others in dress
making or sewing establishments. The
Home mas always on hand a number OF
women and girls who are looking foI
work or who are stranded in Washing

Not Very Attractive Quarters.
Truth to say. old Mr. winebergers
bachelor quarters are not very attrac-
tive. He has a little house in the west
end of the city. and is the owner of
the premises, as well as of ground in
other parts Of the Capital. He rents
the lower part of the house in which
he lives, and resides himself in the up
per chambers where he does most of his
own housework. and lives and moves
and has his existence almost constantly

Nome Sailings Will be Later
 This Year.

The first Nome sailingS from Seattle will be more than a month later this year than they were last. Last year the Jeannie and the Nome City got away from Seattle on April 2i and the Portland also sailed in April This year, the first sailings advertised are the Oregon and the Senator, both scheduled to get away June l.
 The cause for the delay in the Nail- ings this year is no doubt, the fact that the Portland and the Jeanie were caught in the ice last year and driited for several weeks in the Behring sea- before freeing themselves.

Skeletons ENhumed.

The Charleston Post says while en-
gagged in digging trenches for water
mains in Franklin and Magazine
streets Thursday, negro laborers un-
earthed number OF human skeletons
and rotting collins. The trench dig
gers dug through number OF graves
and grinning skulls were thrown up
from under ground one after another.
The digging up or the skeletons and
rOtting collins created sensation
among the negroes for a time, but
their nerves soon became steady and
the work was continued, the laborers
throwing the bones and skulls to one
side in the street. 1t is believed that
the skeletons are the remains Of Brit
iSh soldiers, who were killed in an ex-
plosiOn Of a powder magazine that
stood at the spot during revolutionary
days. 1t is on record that about $50,
while the city was in the hands Of the
British forces, there was an explosion
Of magazine in that section, in
which number of soldiers were killed
and their bodies were buried about
the site OF the building. The loca-
tion OF the magazine is shown on
some old maps OF the city and it was
from that building that the street ac-
quired its name.

that Kelly is one Of the commission
to adjust the debt between the coun-
ty OF Lee and the old counties from
which 1t was made, and is u member
of the Legislature. In this connection,
however, it shorld be stated that the
member Of the Legislature is b. f. Kel-
ly, while the dispatches declare that
Spain Kelly killed Creech.
The escape Of Mr.. Howard Single
ton is said to be remarkable, for he
received but one slight wound in the
hand. The horse which he was driv-
ing was struck by six buckshot and
the buggy was riddled. Mr.. w. ID.
Trantham, a leading lawyer of Cam
den, stated Friday night that he knew
Creech very we'll. The latter was
about 32 years Of age, splendid judge
of horses and man of pleasing per-
sonality. In Camden Creech was re-
garded as man OF blameless life.
Mr.. Trantham ut that time did not
know which Kelly had done the shoot
ing.

Mail Carrier Held Up.

4 dispatch from Gollatin Tenn,
says the carrier on rural route No.
was held up Thursday afternoon by
two masked men and threatened with
death if he did not resign. The car
rier is John Allgood, colored man,
and the feeling has been strong
against him ever since his appoint
ment. The matter is being inveSti-
gated by the postOtIice authorities
and another carrier was sent out over
Friday morning. There is no object
tion to the carrier personally, but the
patrons along the route are opposed
TO him on account Of his color. Post
master Genera Payne has suspended
service on the route pending investiga-
tion and IL the reports of the affair
are confirmed summary action will
follow. The incident may become a
second Indianola case.

PREACHER SLAIN BY MOB.
The Leader OF "Sanctified People,
Lynched in Missouri

ID. NJ. Halone, preacher for sect
known as "Sanctified People," and
Constable w. j. Mooneyhoon were
shot and killed by mob at Wardell,
Mo-, on Wednesday. Malone had been
prosperitying in this county for sever
al months and considerable feeling
had been aroused against him. A wo-
man named Mrs. Frill having left her
husband, caused much agitation re-
Gently by living with Malone, who left
his own wife. Mrs. Alice Malone,
the preachers wife, objected vigorous
ly, and Malone declared her insane
and caused her to be detained i'm Jail
pending an inquiry. This action
aroused the citizens to frenzy, and a
warrant was issued against Malone
and Mrs. Frill on the charge OF uu-
lawfully living together.
Constable Mooneyhoon Saturday
night arrested both because OF the
lateness Of the hour decided to take
them to his home for the night.
Shortly after midnight there was a
knock at the front door and Mooney
hOon opened the door. lie was shot
dead in the door. A mob rushed into
the house, and, Seizing Malone, drag
ging him into the darkness. Mrs
Frill frantically begged that no harm
be done TO him, but she was roughly
pushed into the house and theI ob de-
parted. Malone was taken to a wood
some distance away and shot 10 death.
The mob then dispersed. No harm
was offered to Mrs. Frill or to Mrs.
Mooneyhoon.
Intense excitement has resulted
from the tragedy. 1t IL not explained
why the constable was shot by the
mob but 1t is believed he was either
mistaken for Malone or the mob was
angered because the constable took
the couple TO his home after arresting
them

\ Murder Mystery.

William Patterson, Il member Of one
the prominent and wealthy families OF
Nunice, Ind, and a brother-in-law of
George +. McCullOch, president OF the
Union Traction company, was shot
and fatally wounded Wednesday
night. The tragedy is shrouded in
mysteryand the police are guardingthe
house. The day was well advanced
before news Of the shooting leaked
out. One story is that Patterson was
shot about o'clock in his own house
one bullet passed through the stomach
and the other through the groin.
Another report is that he was shot on
the street at an early hour The
most generally accepted report is that
the shots were fired while he was in
his own room, but by whom is not
known. The Patterson family is one
of the oldest in the city and William
Patterson was pominent both in social
and business affairs.
