In person. He was passing one Of the
great department stores One window
was gay with valentines Of every size

Nelly might have liked one of these.
In his gloom even the thought Of her
brought lifting Of the clouds. He
would buy valentine and send 1t to

From Odessa comes tho story OF a

most important factor. Two young
people OF good position were at tho al
tar to be married. The ceremony had
hardly begun when woman's voice
came from the back Of the church, cry
Ing that the wedding must be stopped,
as the bride was blind The bride
tainted and was revived, and the cere-
mony proceeded. Hardly had tho priest
given his blessing when the bride fell
dead. II seems that the brides sister
was in love with the bridegroom. The
bride had glass eye which she In
some mysterious way had concealed
from her future husband. Therefore
the bad sister went 10 church 10 break
up the wedding and took the glass ego
as pretext for 10 doing. As a fitting
sequel the bad sister went mad.

Some Pointed Home Criticism of Sen-
 ator Tillman's Intemperancs.
 Charleston News and Courier.
 Senator Tillman engaged in a joint de- bate on the negro question with Senator Burton of Kansas, at Madison, Wis, on Monday night. We wish he would stay at home and keep his mouth shut. If any Northern Republican Senator should come to South Carolina to express his views on the negro question there would be no one in this State who would resent his coming more bitterly than Senator Tillman; probably he might go to the ex- tent of leading mob to lynch the speak CT so violent is he always in the discus- sion of this question. It is not good sense. good politics, or good manners for him to attempt the discussion of the ques- tion in any Northern community
 We have all protested for years against the efforts which have been made by our Northern fellow-citiZens to inject North ern ideas into our views of sectional and race questions, and we have never given quiet and self-contained audience to those who have sought to preach their gospel in these parts. We know what is best for us in our conditions, and that we do, but 1t is no part of the proper mission of any of our public men, or representative men, to offend outside public men, or representative men to of- fend outside public opinion by blather- skiting our views on questions in which they are not directly interested. We can not imagine any possible good that can come to any part of this country. and particularly to the South, by the intem- perate discussion of the negro question before any audience, and particularly be- fore any Northern or Western audience.
 It may be, as our special correspondent says, that at the close of the debate in Madison the impression seemed to pre- vail that Senator Tillman had the better of the argument" Probably so, and what was the argument except that for the commission of certain unspeakable crimes the mob would be justified in talk ing the place of the law, and because "the people of the North who affect mo- tives of charity, Christianity, and humani- tarianism were attempting to poke their great, long, Yankee noses into the busi- ness of the Southern States" Where was Senator Tillman's nose at the time when he was trying to instruct an audience of 5000 people in the State of Wisconsin upon the negro problem as 1t is pre- scented to the people of South Carolina and other Southern States? If we want the great, long. Yankee noses" kept out of the business of the Southern States, it would be just as well, probably, that We should keep our long noses and our intem- perate speech out of the business of Northern States.
