WAIF CHAPERONS.
Personally Conducted Parties for the
Poor Little Ones In the Streets
Of New York.

1t is one of the traits of New
York that young girls, especially in
the crowded tenement districts, as
sumo motherly oversight and care
of still younger children. To see
small girl eight or nine years old car
rying heavy baby is common sight.
The father is away working; the moth
er is at home working; and the care
of the children devolves naturally on
the oldest girl in the family, who her.
self may be only ten or IL years old,
says the New York Times.
Sometimes one of these little girls
will chaperon party of eight or nine
young ones in an excursion to one Of
the city parks. 1t is not always the
nearest one; for Madison square is
prettier, and there is a fountain there.
A bright little blonde girl, without
hat, led small outfit like this in Madi-
son square last week. The children
munched apples or read out of a school
reader or danced around the fountain.
But the little miss in charge, though
considerate and indulgent, was COM
mander. When she said go, they went;
when she said "Yes" or No." there
was no complaint.
Another crowd of six, seven and
eight-year-old girls, with small boy
of four years, were under the tutelage
of more playful chaperon of ten. She
had ranged them in the hemicycle
which forms part of Farragut's statue.
They had decked the top of this curved
stone with their hats, and an odd con-
trast the bright trimmed things made
with the rich olive green of the man
ument. She controlled them perfect
ly, and when it was time to go, made
them put their hats on and line up for
"home." 1t is position which CIR
cumstances thrust on these small chap
erons, sbut they fill it nobly and with
much natural prudence.

At the present day. on the best au-

A Terrible DcatR.

At Dressan, Germany, Mrs. Fiss.
cher, lion tanner, was torn to pieces
and partly eaten alive by four pet
lions. Her children saw her multila-

crowd OF spectators sat frozen with
horror at the tragic spectacle. The
woman was in an animal cage trying
to make a lion spring through hoop.

whip. Infuriated he leaped upon
her and disemboweled her at one
stroke. The woman cried out but
once before the three other lions join-
ed In the attack and fought for frag-

among the spectators, and many per.
sons were injured Assistants with iron
rods and hooks dragged the animals
from the maugled body, &5

JUDGE ROBINSON REFUSED.
The Charlotte Observer says Ex-
Judge w. S.. OBJ. Robinson OF North
Carolina refused to sit down at ban
quet given by Senator Hanna to the
members Of the Republican national
committee In Washingt ton Saturday
night, for the reason that one OF The
guests was Judson Lyons, colored,
register Of the treasury and commit
teeman from Georgia. He Is q citizen
OF a State where white and black peo-
pie do not sit at the same board. at
the same time, and it was quite like
him, open, out-spoken Irisllman that
he Is, to assert his gentility along
with his Republicanism and absent
himself from the banquet ball. Other
southern committeeman might swal-
low their choler along with their Cake.

courage to DO what they wanted to;
he had it. Toadies and bootllcks,
feeling on this occasion as so many
southern Republicans do in national
assemblages Of their party, like poor
boys at frolic, they accepted their
associate along with the victuals.
Not SO Judge Robinson. It would be
an affront to him to congratulate or
compliment him upon his.course OF
conduct. None other was to have
been expected Of hint Senator
Hanna's usual tact and good sense
failed him on this occasion. AS for
Lyons, IL he had any delicacy he
would have saved the host Of the
evening the embarrassment which his
presence caused, for he Witnessed at a
White House reception atew months
ago the avoidance Of himself by south
ern white men present.

Prof. L. 0. Howard, chief enttnno.

These expedients, he says, consist of

Ing and thorough cultivation of the
crop, enabled the department. at CAL
vert, Texas, without any appreclable
extra expense, a crop Of one bale to
one and half acres. The average
production in the United States is
one bale to 2. 8 acres. Prof. Howard
adds: The work against the Mexi-
can cotton boil weevil in Texas will
be carried on during the whole of the
fiscal year. An additional field assis-
tant has been appointed and $40, 900
will be expended In this work on cot

county and State may as we'll recog-
nize the situation and prepare to meet
1t. Sooner or later the bGll weevil
Will invade South Carolina, and it
would be the part OF wisdom on the
part OF our farmers to prepare to give
some attention to the methods used
by the government to minimize as far
as possible the ravages Of this most
formidable enemy of the cotton pro-
ducing States.

A QUESTION OF yERAc1rY.

a dispatch from Washington to The
State says regarding the dispatches
from South Carolina quoting Capt. J.
G. Capers as Indignantly denying that
he ate with Indson Lyons, a negro.
last Saturday night at the banquet Of
Senator Hanna to the Republican
national committee, the general opin-
ion here is that this denial makes the
question of Mr.. Capers' presence at
the banquet merely one uf veracity be-
tween that gentleman and the mem
bcrs Of the committee who say they
saw him there. These members are
men OF high stanuing.
Judson w. Lyons, the negro com.
mitteeman from Georgia who attend
ed the banquet, continues to refrain
from discussion Of the matter on the
ground that it is purely a social
Lyons expressed the opinion
that II Mr.. Capors desired the impress
sion to prevail In South Carolina that
he was not at the banquet members
Of the committee should keep quiet on
the subject.
