Flying Squadron" is national anti

already been established in number

"Bin" Hall is the Rear Admiral, In
charge of the Chicago navy yard, and
is supposed to carry a pocketful OF
anchors to distribute among the sea
going boats when they get into West

All the officers and members Of the
crew Of the Flying Squadron" have
"cut out" the habit of paying for 9TH

reformation has not made the dry
docks altogether useless, for every
time one commodore buys drink
every other member present must also
buy himself one. This results in fire.

Bird. on the Black List.

Uncle Sam has a black list Of birds
and quadrupeds which 1t is absolute
ly prohibited to introduce into this
country. The mongoose, the flying
fox and the starting are on the list.
The mongoose is a species of ferret,
4 native of India, where it is domes-
sicated as a sort Of animal rat trap
and snake destroyer. 1t was intro
duced into Jamaica to get rid of the
sugar cane rats. These exterminated,
however, the mongoose went on to
diet on the misunderstanding birds,
with the result that the crops have
been devastated by insects in some
sections of the island. The animal Is
exceedingly crafty. nocturnal in its
habits and evades traps with ease.
The flying fox, known also as the fruit
bat, is a voracious harvester Of fruits
and vegetables The starting belongs

Familiar Story 10 Known All Over the
World.
The story of the man with seven
sons who gave to each of them in
turn a bunch of seven sticks with in
structions to break them, and each
son failing to break them as whole,
succeeded in breaking each stick in
dividually, is one of the Oldest stories
in the world, and its lesson, United
we are strong, divided we are weak, ="
is as old as the story. An illustration
of the general acceptance of the story
was given at the public evening school
in the Morgan street chapel few
evenings since.
Miss Clark, the teacher, told the
story in English to the class of some
fifty foreigners who are learning to
speak and to read the English Ian
guage, when several of the pupils said
they were familiar with 1t in their
own tongue and the lands from which
they came. Thereupon the story was
told by one pupil who had been in
this country from Palestine but few
weeks, in pure Hebrew another
young man told it in Yiddish, which
is the Hebrew language as it is spok
en- by most of the people of that race
from Eastern Europe. A young WON
an told it in Roumanian, another
young woman told it in Polish, and
young man told it in Russian. 1t was
only a day or two before Christmas.
and many of the members of the class
were working in the stores during the
shopping season, or it might have
been told in half a dozen more dia-
,ects, the evening schools having at
least twenty different nationalities
and languages represented in their
various classes.-Hartford Courant

In the majestic march of Laws.

piled up on top of the other two. When
the cars were lifted out no trace Of
the body was found, but by dragging
it was recovered some seventy-flve feet
below. Then it was seen that the left
hand was terribly mangled and the
side torn away, making 1t probable
that when he caught hold Of the side,
which was pivoted, the weight was
shifted and his hand caught and held,
dragging him to his death. Since the
commencement Of this work two years
ago there have been between thirty and
fifty deaths there from violent means,
either accidental or homicidal, but this
is q peculiarly sad one. Young Brown,
who was from Hillsboro, N. c., was
working to make his way through COL
lege and was a favorite with his asso-
ciates. The body was taken In charge
and prepared by Undertaken Frew for
shipment to Hillsboro. A brother or

so employed at the dam, and will ac-

The Man Who Leaps
Before He Looks

rs rarely ever satisfied, while the man
lwho looks before he leaps Is salts
fed nineteen times out Of twenty. I
am satisfied that there are no other
business contracts that men enter into
where less looking Is done than in the
matter of buying Life Insurance-pos-
sibly the most important transaction
Of their lives. All intelligent men know
that there are not less than: twenty
five good life insurance companies In
business in the United States, but un-
fortunately for said intelligent men
they have allowed themselves to be de-
luded into believing that "all are about
the same" whereas aside from paying
death claims there Is considerable diff
ference. If you desire to look before
you leap it Is your duty to thoroughly
Investigate the Mutual Benefit. You
will find that it offers EVERYTHING
that is Best in Life Insurance, and is,
therefore, the ideal policy holders
company 1t will afford me pleasure
to show you wherein it is better than
any other company, and 1 will do so to
YOUR satisfaction. Won't you give

wham, Slayer Of Ramass, surrsnders.

Greenville News Sunday: News was
received in Greenville yesterday that
J. G. Wham, who shot and killed La
fayette Ramage, prominent citizen
of Clinton, early Thursday morning,
had surrendered to Sheriff Duckett IN
Laurens. Immediately after the shoot
ing, Wham disappeared and a posse
was organized to 60 in pursuit. 1t was
supposed that he had skipped out OF
the county and the authorities here
were requested to arrest him II he came
this way. Public sentiment against
the accused, 1t Is said, is not so In
tense now as 1t was on Thursday. Both
Wham and Ramage were leading far
mers of Laurens county, and the shoot
ing created the greatest sensation
known there In years. There was wild
talk Of lynching, but this did not
amount to anything and Wham Is now
safe and secure behind prison bars.

Rock Hill special Of July 10 to the
News and Courier: Mr.. A. A. Brown,
a young man aged % years, Of Hills
boro. N. c., was killed at the works of
the Catawba Power company, near
here, this afternoon. He was engaged
in experimenting a squad Of hands
working on the side Of the tramway
which runs out on the Golfer dam and
carries stone from the quarry to the
dam. Three cars loaded with stone
broke loose from the engine and ran
slowly along the line toward the termi-
nus at the extremity of the Golfer dam.
The brakeman, failing to stop them,
jumped off and shouted to the men be-
low to throw a scotch under the wheels.
Brown ran to the track and, putting his
hand on the side Of the second car,
threw his weight against the car and
tried to stop it. The car rushed on
and it was seen that the young man
was following and disregarding the
shouts of those looking on to turn
loose the car" This was thought to be
due to his excitement. The first car
went over into the river; the second,

Thousands of people now mourn the
lost opportunity Of Bell Telephone In

does not know some one that was made
rich by a small investment in telephone
stock. Now a new opportunity Is Of
fered to those who are forehanded
enough to grasp it in the Marconi

Marconigrams fill the air, flying back
and forth over ocean, between CONT.
nents, and over mountain, river and

late, and another opportunity will have
passed. The financial representatives
Of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
company of America, Messrs. Munroe

New York city, state that the demand
for the IS certificates Of the companys
stock, which they are selling at 81, Is
so great that the limited amount at
their disposal will soon be exhausted.
When these are gone the price Will
necessarily be advanced, and those VINO
want to buy will be compelled to pay
a higher price for them. 1t

Columbia correspondence of the
News and Courier: Commissioner Of
Confederate Rolls M. P. Tribble Will
attend meeting Of the commissioners
of Confederate rolls in Atlanta on July
20. This meeting has been called by
Ex-Governor A. D. Gambler Of Georgia,
and a plan for collecting the lost rolls
will be discussed. The bill that was
passed by the late congress provides
for the publication Of original rolls
only. AS there are only a very small
per centage of the original army rolls
to be had now, this convention will me-
morialize congress to allow all authen-
tic company rolls to be printed. Com
missioner Tribble has received only a
few replies to his circular for these
rolls, but has received many encour-
aging letters from all over the state,
and expects in a few months to have q
complete roll Of all Of the Confeder-
ates from this state. He now has over
$4,000 Names but unfortunately many
Of them are duplicates, and it will re-
