Money on Cotton

The Spartanburg Journal says "itis
an i'll wind that blows nobody good"
While many of the cotton mills of the
South are in pinch over the matter
Of securing cotton and Of making a
profit on their goods at the present
high price of the raw material, the
Clifton Manufacturing Company has
gone ahead and disposed of 5000 bales
Of cotton or which it is said that the
net profit was Sl50,G00. The comp
any had on hand nine thousand bales
of cotton when the flood struck their
warehouses. Six thousand bales were
saved. while most of the remainder is
scattered Gown Pacolet river TO: miles
below the mills. This success in sell
ing cotton at high profit is especially
fortunate for the mills at this time
in view Of their recent heavy
losses caused by the flood disaster.

Many NidshipInen.

A dispatch from Annapolis, Md,
says nearly 100 candidates for admis-
sion to the naval academy are here to
take the examinations. About 200 Of
the youths have been here for some
time preparing at the preparatory
schools Of Werntz and Wilmer. The
incoming trains Of the past several
days have brought dozens more.
Nearly every State in the Union is
represented. The candidates have
considerable trouble in engaging
quarters, as the hotels and boarding
houses had but few spare rooms, and
a number Of them have been taken in
by private families. The new fourth
class, which the successful ones will
enter, will number upward OF 300
members, and will be the largest class
ever at the institution.

We Are Not Carpers.

a negro lynching in the city of In
dianapolis has quickly followed the
affair at Belleville, III. Just what
degree Of guilt attaches to a negro's
act in apparently forcing his remarks
upon white girl in the street is not
easy to decide perhaps. At any rate,
reasonable people would say that the
girls testimony as to the character OF
the offense should first be taken be-
fore resorting to summary measures
against the negro. The Indianapolis
mob, however, on the mere fact that
the negro was seen to address the girl
in public somewhat persistently, al
though he soon passed on, pursued
him at once to his death. One fel-
low in the mob carried pistol and be
completed the job. No arrests, ac-
cording to the reports. The middle
West is now fair mark for Southern
criticism.-Springheld Republican.

LEOPARD SEIZED HER,
Nine. Pauline attacked by Wild
Beast in Cage.

A di,pacth from Baltimore Wednes
day says: Nine. Pauline, the famou:
trainer Of wild animals, was attacked
Tuesday by an infuriated leopard. Il
blood poison sets in she may die. Th,
! leopard is one,of the East Indian ami
mails recently brought to this country
The two, one a male, and the other q
female, reached the exposition ground!
Saturday evening and we're placed il
a cage specially prepared for them.
Although the leopards are about foul
years old they have never been trained
and are as savage as they ever were II
the jungle.
Nine. Pauline who has gained a
reputation as a trainer Of lions
panthers and leopards, entered
their cage Sunday for the first time.
She had made preliminary inspec,
tion from the outside, and decided
that as the female. the smaller of the
two, be seemed to quiet and meek, she
would not have Der tied down as is the
custom when a trainer enters a cage
of wild animals for the first time. The
male was tied, and when Nine. Pau
line entered he showed a savage spirit,
trying to free himself and to bound
upon her. The female lay quiet in a
corner of the cage.
Nine. Pauline again entered the
cage Monday and received a slight
claw wound on her hand. But still
the female remained quiet and gave
no evidence OF being displeased by the
visit. When Nine. Pauline entered
cage Tuesday, one Of the guards had
thrown a rope around the neck Of the
larger leopard and held it, but the
smaller one was not bound. The train
er gave more attention to the larger
leopard, whose eyes glared like balls
Of lire and whose restlessnesS at her
presence was plainly apparent.
The door Of the cage had scarcely
been closed when the smaller leopard,
crouched in an opposite end Of the
cage, sprang upon the trainer. Her
hind feet struck Nine. Pauline near
her waist. while the fore claws sank
into her neck, and she seized the Wo
man by the throat with her teeth.
Blood gushed from all the wounds and
it seemed as though the woman would
be killed.
Nine. Pauline lost neither her cour-
age nor her self-possession, but at once
began struggling with the animal,
whose furry seemed to increase with
the smell and taste of human blood.
Pushing the muzzle Of her revolver to
the eyes Of the leopard, Nine. Pauline
discharged blank cartridges in quick
succession, which caused the animal
to release her hold. Several attend
ants seized iron bars and beat the anil
NAL to the floor Of the cage, while
Nine. Pauline, with blood flowing
from II wounds, retreated from the
cage.
Either the teeth or claws Of the
animal pierced her lower lip, and be-
sides she was bitten and clawed in the
neck, shoulders and back. Half faint
ing, she was placed in her bed in a
tent in the rear Of the animal show
and the surgeon Of the exposition
dressed the wounds, inserting nearly
thirty. stitches in all.

QUELLED THE MUTINY.
Interesting Incident in the History
of the Gallant Old Warship
Hartford.

At the breaking out of the civil
war the steamship Hartford, now
lying at the navy yard, was in China.
Rear Admiral Frederick Engle was
sent to relieve Commodore stribling,
then in command. Admiral Engle
had distinguished himself in the Mex
ican war, relates the Washington
Star. In the attack on Vera Cruz a
shot from his vessel the Princeton,
made the first break in it's walls.
Soon after he took command of the
Hartford those of the officers who
were southern men attempted to
seize the ship and turn it over to the
confederacy. Admiral (then Commo-
dore) Engle, with the assistance of
the few loyal officers and his men,
quelled the mutiny and brought the
ship, with the rebellious officers as
prisoners, safely to the shores of
America. where the vessel, afterward
became Admiral Farragut's flagship.
The late Capt J: Edgar Engle, who
resided in this city, was a nephew of
the admiral's. He enlisted in company
I, Ninety-seventh Pennsylvania volun-
teers, and served until the summer
of 1866. For distinguished bravery at
the, battle of Bermuda Hundred, May
2, 1864, he was awarded the congress
sional medal of honor; and his gal
liant and meritorious conduct at tho
battle of Green Plains, Va, May 20,
1864, was recognized by the governor
of his native state. He was des-
perately wounded while personally
supporting the regimental colors, re-
ceiving seven wounds, losing an arm
and being shot through the throat.
