TRAGIC DEATH.
Trainmaster Ackert, of South
ern Railway, Meets Sad and
Untimely Death.

Mr.. L. Fl. Ackert, trainmaster
of the Columbus division of the
Southern railway, met with an
accident at Greenwood about six
O'Clock last Monday afternoon
which resulted in his death early
on the following morning. Mr..
Ackert, who had been out
on the road for several days on
business connected with his Of
fetal position, received a mes
sage Monday afternoon inform
ing him of the illness of his wife
in this city, and was about to
board an eastbound train in order
that he might hasten to her bed
side when his foot slipped and
be fell, the wheels of the car
passing over his leg and lacerat-
ing it to such an extent that the
physicians decided that amputa-
ton would be necessary.
As soon as the news ef the ac-
cident was aeceived in this city
a special train was made up, and.
with DR.. j. E. Davis, Mr.. Ack-
ert's family physician, on board
hastened to Greenwood, but even
before the special arrived the
patient began to sink rapidly
and the local medical men enter
tanned but little hope of his re-
covery. About midnight there
came message saying that
there was no hope whatever and
that the end was only a matter
of a short time. Upon receipt of
this message Mrs. Ackert, al
though herself extremely Ill,
has ened to the depot with the
intention of taking the early
morning train for Greenwood, |
but before the train arrived re-
ceived message that her hus-
band had breathed his last. |
Overcome with grief, she re-
turned to her room, where she
remained throughout tn e day
surrounded by loving friends I
who did all in their power to I
comfort and console her.
The Southern railway never
had a more efficient or more pop
llar official in its employ than /
Mr.. Ackert. While possessed of |
fine business qualif-
cations and the capacity o r
managing men that the duties of
his position required, he was at I
the same time jovial and good I
natured, and always had a kind I
word and merry jest for every
one, no matter whether he might
be the highest official of the road I
Or the humblest member of
train crew. In his home life Mr.
Ackert was the ideal husband
and parent. He idolized both

THE BORE OF BOwING.

"I am tired of this fashion of bowling
to everyone that you have ever met"
said the girl who had just returned
from long walk. It's a nuisance and
farce. 1t means nothing and becomes
fearfully monotonous. Bowling to your
friends is all right, but constantly jerk
ing your head to the slightest acquaint-
ance is very firing. Take for instance
the acquaintance with whom you have
not exchanged a word since your pri-
mary school days. You know it would
be snobbish and hateful not to give
the nod of recognition when you meet
them; but as they have not the glim-
mer of an interest in you and you
haven't an atom of an interest in them.
it seems farcicaI to give the expected
nod.
Then there is the acquaintance
whom you have met once. and with
whom your conversation has been lin
tied to the conventional words at in
PRODUCTION, Glad to meet YOU You
must go on bobbing at him through a
lifetime if you live in the same town
with him. He wishes you would stop
bowling and you wish you could. You
dare not cease the performances for
fear he will think you a snob, and he.
of course, can do nothing but return
your salute.
ITO a certain type of woman, how
ever, I suppose there is a certain de-
light in bowling. 1t is like a game TO
her. She takes as much pleasure in il
as she does In an extensive wardrobe.
She has naughty bow for the fresh
man and the minute afterward she is
bending her neck graciously, all smiles
and cordiality, for one of the fine fell
lows When she meets a person who
has been employed by her some time
in some capacity. she bows very pat
ronizingly and says very distinctly and
benevolently, How do you do james,
or Good morning. Maria When il is
some woman friend with whom she is
very chummy, she gives a quick little
jerk of her head and laughs right out
in her greeting. II il is a man that
she knows only slightly, but hopes to
know much better, there is de-
mureness in her bow and a sidelong
glance to accompany it. If she meets
someone she considers above her in
the social scale, she bows slowly, look
ing directly into the persons eye. II il
is a woman she hates, she moves her
head ever so slightly, just the mere
shadow of a nod, which is infinitely
worse than no bow at all. When she
meets the man she likes best-Well, just
ask him how she bows then.
so maybe the fashion Of bowling is
worth while after all, for if il is a bore
to nod to bare acquaintance, it is a
joy 20 make an art of bowling. New

WE ARE NOT MUSIC LOVERS.

81 seriously doubt whether America
will ever become a great music loving
country" said a well known local mu-
stefan, for musical events here are not
well patronized, except those of which
some celebrated artist is the feature,
which leads me to doubt whether the
public goes to hear music so much as
to see and hear a great musician. Now,
this may come from an over refined
taste, which prevents enjoyment OF
anything but the very best, which is
noticeable in the fact that in social
life, while he or she who merely sings
or plays is tolerated and listened TO
patronizingly, there seems to be no
real enjoyment of the effort made. The
German is the genuine music lover
who enjoys music fairly rendered, and
though no one appreciates more great
" the great artist, he does not demand
greatness or nothing. But in his own
country, and measurably here in his
saengerbunds, he listens to his music
under conditions which permit him to
enjoy creature comforts at the same
time. He takes his frau and kinder
to the music hall or beer garden, where
seated around table, they sip their
beer, eat German lunches, and pater
familias puffs his pipe, drinking in the
strains of music at the same time, each
form of enjoyment the complement of
the others OF course, this is not posi-
BILE among what we customarily call
our better class. which is not in the
habit of eating and drinking in public.
An incident, bearing out partially my
theory that it is the great musician
and not the great music which is de-
manded, occurred when Kubelik was
here a year or two ago. On my way
to his concert I met a friend who az
fects musical tastes, but as business
man does not keep in touch with MI
steal events, he had overlooked the
rather modest announcement of Kube-
liks concert.
Come with me- said I; I'm going
to hear some good music
'Where?' he asked.
"'At the Columbia, I replied.
'Who?'
"'Oh. a young violinist.' said I, and
seeing that he was not aware Of ku-
belik's arrival. I concluded not to en-
tighten him, but to get his unbiased
judgment
"A little persuasion succeeded, and
we were soon seated and listening TO
