Democracy of the West.

Prof. Richard T. Ely has an article
in Harper's on the cooperative towr
of Greeley, Col, in which he com
ments on the differing social condi
tions east and west. 1.-THE further
west one goes,' says the professor
"the more democratic becomes so
ciety. 1 must confess that I did moi
understand true Americanism, in one
of its phases at least, until 1 got fal
away from the Atlantic coast. Com
ing to Madison, Wis, from Baltimore
Md, the freedom of intercourse be
tween all economic classes and men
of the widest divergence of wealth
and intellect attracted my attention
but there are social differences even
in Madison which would be scorned
in place like Greeley. Anything like
aristocracy seems to be absolutely un-
known in Greeley, unless it is the
aristocracy of personal merit"

Young Man Refuses Fortune.

Ralph Sangere. for years a waiter
in the Christian Brothers college,
ST. Louis, refused to accept fortune
Of $250,00O under conditions which he
regarded as unjust. Until about six
years ago he was the favorite nephew
and presumably the heir of Sir Will
liam Sangere, Montreal capitalist.
The uncle died suddenly, leaving the
young man the amount named, but i'm
posed condition that the nephew
refused to consider. The trouble is
believed to have had to do with a
sweetheart whom Sir William disap-
proved. The young man went to st.
Louis, where he has since been earn

now about to return to Canada and
he may yet come into the money,
which is now under his aunt's con-
troll. SIZE is inclined to be lenient.

The Three-Hour Dinner.

The three-hour dinner, against
which certain prominent public men
in Washington are uniting in a cru
sade, is undeniably an affair that
needs to be pruned; but it is not SO
serious an evil as the ten-minute
breakfast or the -minuate lunch,
says the Providence Journal, and the
crusaders should be careful not to go
too far in their proposed reform. One

it is impossible to give the necessary
studious and finished attention to the

hour and a half; unless the most rigid
economy of time is absolutely re-

Document indicating Marshal.
Nine. Napoleon Ney, widow of the
late Napoleon Ney, who was one of
the committee of Frenchmen sent to
the United States to present the
statue of liberty to the sister republic,
has been offered a fabulous sum for
a unique Ney-Napoleonic relic.
1t is the official document issued by
the Second Republican facilitating the
memory of the great Marshal Ney.
He was the grandfather of Nine. Ney's
husband.
Marshal Ney was shot after the bat
tie of Waterloo, when the English and
Prussians held Paris and brought back
Louis XVIII.
He was shot because Louis sent him
out to capture Napoleon when return
ing from Elba, and instead of trying
to capture he embraced his old leader.
Nine. Ney refuses all offers for the
precious document, for it was the wish
of her husband thta it should be left
to the Museum of the Army after her
death.

expressed the opinion that one of the
Evans negroes had committed the
crime. The child, Ruby, who was
wounded, surprised the people who
quickly assembled at the house, by
her actions, and it was found after
some investigation that she was run
ming about the house trying to find
sn old pistol that she might kill, as
she said, her farther's slayer. Mrs.
Phillips was in such a condition of

Anderson, July l.-Reuben Ell
rod, a respected old negro who
lives near Piedmont, was shot and
killed in his own home about 10
o'clock last night, and three negro
women, who we're occupants Of the
same house, were given severe
whipping.
Details Of tho affair are meagre.
Magistrate Bowen hold al inquest
over tho body Of the dead negro to-
day. The verdict Of the jury was
that he came to his death at the
hands of parties unknown.
The women, who testified at the
inquest, said that about 10 o'clock
last night crowd Of about 50 white
men cnmo to the house and after
shooting and killing Elrod, gave
them Il severe beating and warned
them to leave tho country.
The women said they did not recog-
nize any Of their assailants, but that
they did not live IN that community.
This is all that is definitely known.
The general suppoaition is that the
women were objectionable to the
people of the community and that
posse Of citizens went to the hous7 =

and that Elrod resisted them aud
was killed.
The affair is strongly condemned
by the people in and around Pied

will likely be had.
