WAS she a KINGS DAUGHTER
Legendary spanish Girl Who Lived
in a Mexican Convent.

In Mexican Convent.
The story of this young Spanish girl
in Mexico, who lived mysterious life
in convent, may be truly called
legendary history. Micaela de los
Angeles was believed to be daughter
Of Philip II. of Spain, who was
brought to Mexico and immured in the
royal convent of Jesus Maria for rea-
sons best known to the royal father.
This convent was founded in 1878 by
two Spaniards, Pedro 7. Denia and
Gregoria de Pesquera, purposely for
the descendants Of the conquerors, ac-
cording to Modern Mexico.
Just when the nino Micaela entered
the convent no one seemed to remem-
her, her presence ut first being scarce-
ly noticed by any but the mother
superior. She was plainly dressed and
kept in great seclusIon for time, but
by and by 1t was observed that she was
gradually being surrounded with royal
luxnries. The fact naturally melted
inquiry and with curiosity on one hand
md knowledge even in the minds of
a few on the ol1ss 4 Was SOL SSs s!G !!
THAT Micaeln was direct descendant
of the king and that her brother. the
Archbishop Pedro de Contreras. hal
special care over her. For long time
1t was thought that Micaela had been
brought to the convent while . eiy
small-ahiLl. but her inerc..si:ig unliap-
piness and longing for scenes of which
the nuns knew nothing, convinced
them that she had been rudely torn
away from all that her affections held
dear, or that she had been falsely lured
to her imprisonment in a convent In q,
foreign land. The walls OF the old con.
vents of Mexico were very high and
thick and a nun once behind them and
protected also by the solemn oaths that
she and all about her must take, was
a nun for life yet even those
walls had ears and there were eyes
that saw and tongues that told tales. 1t
was always so. Even Abelard and
Heloiseheard from each other at times.
Whether Micaela's lover was a priest
or not neither records nor traditions
tell, only that she had one. Perhaps
he followed her over seas. Perhaps 1t
was to part her from him that she was
sent to Mexico to the royal convent.
Perhaps the parting had the usual re-
suit, of Strengthening the ties of love
and making the lover more determined.
Who knowsf Alas. no one in Mexico.
But that does not matter. Micaela
was unhappy and she had lover who
would have taken her from the convent
II lie could. That is enough to stir the
heart.
One night the convent was attacked,
whether by Indians or robbers or
heretics 1t could not be discovered In
the darkness, for Mexico had no street
lights in those carly days. But the at.
tack was repulsed. the doors doubly
barred and guarded and on one enter
ed and none escaped.
After that those who passed by the
royal convent frequently heard sad
meanings and Economical laughter and
loud calls, repeated and repeated until
the voice seemed to die away in the
distance or to be shut OF by many
walls and closing DOORS at times even
by the sudden placing Of strong

water.Heatinx Device.


The subjoined diagram. taken from
Orange Judd Farmer, illustrated how
easily water can be warmed in small
way where both house and barn are
furnished with running water and
moderate plumbing arrangements. The
pipe marked E F, running through the
house cellar, furnishes water to the
house and barn. BY means of two
short pipes, G d, the pipe from the hot
water boiler in the house is connected
with the pipe u F. which, as before
stated, supplies the barn with cold
water.
Then all that is necessary to fill the
barn tub with warm water is to open
the valve B and shut valve A, thus let
ting the warm water from the house
boiler into the pipe which goes to the
barn and shutting off the flow of cold.

He Has Been Released

FOSTERS DEATH.
The Tragedy Very Greatly

FOSTERS DEATH.
Fosters Ante. Mortem Statement Some
Particulars Of the Enman Affair,
An Inquest Held.

Young Reuben Pitts was yesterday
morning granted bail by Judge AL
lrich, in Spartanburg, in the sum of
$4,000, which he promptly gave and
was released.
Ned Foster, the Inman school pupil
who was shot by Pitts, fingered until
Friday aud died.
An inquest was held and it appeared
that Pitts told four boys, among them
Foster, to "stay in." Foster had been
told to stay in the day before and had
disobeyed.
Pitts asked Foster to come into q
private room and told the other three
to go into an adjoining room. These
other three were peeping through the
| door into the room where Pitts and
Foster we're. Pitts got switches and
| told Foster that he must whip him.
Foster said that he was unwilling to be
whipped. Pitts struck Foster with the
switch and a scuffle ensued.
Here the evidence grows conflicting.
Pitts drew pistol. Foster, in ar ante
mortem statement, says that he struck
the pistol and it was discharged. He
did not claim In this statement that
Pitts fired 1t. He says that at about
the same moment the other three boys
rushed in. These three say they came
in after the pistol shot, but all unite in
saying that it was about the same time
as the shot. Pitts showed great sorrow
the moment he found the boy was shot.
and went up town and surrendered to
the marshal.
The belief here is that Pitts had no
dream of shooting, that he thought the
four boys would attack him and drew
the pistol, as he says, to overawe them.
The people here who know young
Pitts believe that he tells the whole
truth, no matter what is at stake, and
that the pistol was discharged in the
scuflle accidentally.

In BOARDS HANDS,

1t was not knowl generally until
yesterday that the local dispensary was
closed Monday.
1t Is said that Dispenser A. II. Sulli,
van has resigned and that the county
board of control has charge. Stock Is
being taken and it is said that new
dispenser will be elected. Inspector
Mccarthy was here until yesterday
noon looking iuto matters but returned
to Columbia. Dispenser Sullivan has
also gone to Columbia.
What the trouble Is nobody exactly
knows. For some time, there has been
a misunderstanding about the accounts
and once before the dispensary was
closed for day or two. 1t seems that
for some time the books have not been
balanced and there have been several
investigations.
1t is claimed that there is about
81, 800. in question. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Sullivan has claimed to
have made au over-payment Of S7O0. 1t
may be developed that there has been
simply a mistake In ook-keeping aud
that vouchers will be found that will
balance the books.
The dispenser is bonded in q surety
company and there will probably be
no loss to the state, county or town.
