the Asheville passenger train,
leaving Columbia at 7:Io a. ID.
The question involved, if this
mail service is not put on
the mixed train in addition
to the present mail service, is
whether the convenience of the
passengers shall be made secondary
to the more prompt dispatch of the
mails westward from Charleston
and Columbia.
''Ihe figures obtained since the
new schedule went into effect in
dicate that the trains, as at present
arranged, are more satisfactory to
the travelling public than the old
night train arriving in Columbia
something after 1 o'clock in the
morning. We understand that the
Southern Railway management de-
sires to operate the schedule, which
best suits the people along the line,
and that 1t is willing to set back
the trains now leaving Greenwood
in the morning TO later hour to
give passengers an opportunity to
get breakfast before starting out,
and further, that if after fair trial
it shall appear to be the sense of
the people concerned between Co.
lumbia and Greenville that the
former schedule is more satisfactory
there will be no. objection to re-
storing that schedule. The cities
OF Columbia and Greenville would
seem to be most interested in main
tanning the present schedule, and
from present indications it is a
question as to whether their inter-
ests in the matter shall or shall rot
predominate, as compared with
towns in Anderson and Greenville
counties below Greenville, which
! are now complaining because of
late arrival of their mail from the
eastern parts of the State. We
understand the Southern will
change schedule on January IL,
and that this matter will be def
nite!y settled by that time"

SOUTHHRN'S NEW SCHEDULE.
Assistant General Passenger Agent In
veStigating Complaints What
Surt. WelleS Says.

general passenger agent, was in
Newberry on Saturday Investigate
ing the results of the new schedule
on his Columbia and Greenville
division. Since the new schedule
was put into effect there have been
a number of complaints in the pub
lie prints and elsewhere against the
service. Mr.. Tayloe took a trip
over the line, stopping at Green
wood and other places, to look in
to these complaints and to get an
expression of the sentiment of the
people along the line in regard to
the change.
Anderson and Greenwood have
been very severe in their condem-
nation of the ch,.nge. Mr.. Tayloe
interviewed numbers of persons in
these towns and found in each case
that majority preferred the new
schedule. AS is the case with
Newberry he found that in nearly
every instance the kicks were com,
ing from those who failed to get
important mail as early in the day
as when the old schedule was in
effect.
Mr.. .,Tayloe is very pleasant
gentleman and is one of the best
railroadsmen the service. He and
Superintendent Welles, of this di-
vision, were actuated in making
the change by sole desire for the
greaterSconvenience Of their pat
rons.
The change has brought about
that greater convenience so far as
the Newberry travelling public is
concerned. AS stated, the only
kicking here is rs to the mails, and
the commercial interests of the city
and the convenience of the travel
ing public should far outweigh a
few hours delay in getting the
Columbia and Charleston mails.
Every day since the new schedule
was put into effect there have been
people here from Chappels and
Saluda Old Town and Silver Street
and points above who have hereto
fore been going to Greenwood and
other points to do their trading.
This is Newberry county trade and
and ought to come to the county
seat. Then when a man wants to
go to Columbia he doesn't have to
wait until 1I:4o o'clock at night
in order not to lose half of two
days and whole night. The trip
to Columbia may now be made in
one day and with the greatest COM
fort and convenience.
Mr.. Tayloe went from Newberry
to Columbia, where as result
possibly of his visit to points along
the line, Superintendent We,les has
issued the following statement in
regard to the schedule and the
reasons why it was put into effect:
"The train schedule formerly in
effect on the Columbia and Green
vile Road put all the trains CARVING
passengers, three in number, out
OF Columbia in the morning and
into Greenville in the evening, and
in the opposite direction they all
arrived at Columbia in the after
noon or evening. This is little
like the road which ran all of it's
trains in one direction one day and
back the next. The night passen-
ger train was almost dead train
east of Greenwood, and was little
patroniZed.

ing, noon and evening, from Co.
lumbia and divides the service SO

THEIR WORK KILLS MUSIC.
Telegraph Operators Cannot Play Piano WelI-Strained Muscles of
 the Forearm the Cause.

Did you ever hear of a telegrapher who could play the piano. If so, how many? Not how many pianos, of course, but how many telegraphers. Tel egraph operators find that after they have worked at key for several years their forearms, and their fingers lost that fiexibility that is essential to mu- sicianally work on the piano As many of the men are fond of music, and have pianos of their own, they find it hard, says the New York Herald, to be cut off from the enjoyment of the music they could make for themselves if it were not for the strained conditions of their muscles.
 There are few other lines of work that incapacitate man for picking out the sharps and flats, but the telegraphers say that they know few men in their ranks who can use piano with any eff feet.
 When they sit down before one their first impulse is the old impulse that operating the key gives them. They want to use that finger that they use in sending messages, and they find it diffl- cult even after they struggle for a long time to make themselves players of more than ordinary attainments.

CAN'T GET INTO THE SCHOOLS
Few Jews Allowed Privileges of Higher Education-Limitat
 Serious Burden on Race.

A dispatch from Moscow points out that one of the regulations which is pressing heaviest on the better class of Jews in Russia, says the New York Sun, is that which limits the number of Jews who may be admitted to the rights of higher education. It is common to find Jews endeavoring to pass examina- tions for the universities and other schools which have rights equivalent to those of the universities merely in or der to secure the privilege of residing in any part of the empire, which is accorded to those who have passed
 The difficulty of getting into the high CT schools is enormous for anyone of Jewish birth. Only certain percentage is accepted into the secondary educa- tional establishments, from which alone entrance to the higher schools is gained Tn the latter the percentage again bars the way. Only three, and in some cases five, per cent. of the total number of students may be Jews.
 An example is given of one establish ment which at the beginning of the present academic year had 33o vacancies Seven hundred applications were made by young men who were qualified to en- ter. Of these 275 were Jews, but the maximum number of Jews 1t was possi- ble to admit was 15

ETHEL BARRYMORE.

Seats will go on sale Monday morn ing for Ethel Barrymore's engage ment in" Cousin Kate" Tuesday even ing at Polls. This will probably be one of the most notable theatrical of ferings of the present winter, being considered so good by Charles Froh- man that he has selected it to open the new Hudson theater in New York next Monday week. Miss Barrymore has specially effective company this season. Her leading man is Bruce Nc Req, an English actor, whose sue cess in this country has been most pro- nounced. Grant Stewart, an actor of much versatility, who alternately acts and writes librettos, doing both with considerable cleverness. is another member of the cast, and so is Mrs Thomas Whiffen, who needs no intro- duction to the present mass of theater goers. Others in the company are Harold Grau, Miss Clarice Agnew and Miss Anita Roth. The comedy is in four acts and it is to have a typical Frohman, productions. Prices for the engagement are fixed at %, 90, D cents, $1 and $1.5o, and the free list will be suspended.

OIL FROM ANGLEWoRMs.
Said to Re Sovereign Remedy for Strains and spraIns-HOw
 It IS Obtained.

A correspondent recently inquired as Do where she could get sangleworm pil'' and the editor of this department had to pass on the inquiry as conun- drum that he could not solve, says the Los Angeles Times. However, there are very few questions that some of the numerous readers of this department cannot answer. It is, therefore, not Surprising to find that no less than seven answers have already been re- ceived to this correspondents question. F. S. sends the following from Santa Monica:
 'I noticed in the Care of the Body department to-day that some one from Santa Monica asks about ang1eworm oil, and that you say that you do not know what it is. I will offer short story of an incident which happened in my boyhood days in Ohio My folks owned valuable horse, which slipped Dn the ice and strained the tendons of one of it's hind legs so that it could not put the heel on the ground and had to walk on it's toe for several months, when an old farmer told us to rub it with angleworTns, putting them in bottles and hanging in the sun until all the oil was tried out of them. Then strain it and use as a liniment We did this and it effected the desired re- suits, and I will say that after that we never were without this oil, as it is good for so many strains and sprains, and 1t no doubt will help the inquirer from Santa Monica.'

OLE OLEsON.

This sterling Swedish comedy is de lighting a good sized audience at Polls this afternoon, an another chance to enjoy it will be offered this evening. "Ole Oleson" is one of the few stage characters that have abided the ever changing theatrical tastes. Like Rip Van Wrinkle, Uncle Josh Whitcomb and Nathaniel Berry in
 'Shore Acres" Ole pursues the even tenor of his way of honese, homely and wholesome naturalness, worth infinitely more than all the sham bra vado of romantic heroes and the draw ing room characters in problem plays. This explains why Ole lives and lasts and is also a tribute to the good sense and wholesome instincts of the great mass of theafer goers. As a play, -ssOle Oleson" lays no claim to being a

 A popular actor is getting some ad- vertising from story that is going the rounds" Perhaps, like many of the same sort, it may not be strictly true, though it possesses an element of it. 1t is told of that we'll known post prandial speaker, Chauncey De- pew, whose prominent connections with railroads entities him to passes not only on those roads but also on the street cars. Not long ago he boarded one of these, and was soon deep in his newspaper, when the conductor asked for his fare. That's all right" replied the railroad magnate. I've pass and then resumed his reading of the stocks column. A few minutes later the Hibernian conductor repeated his request. to which the senator replied: i've pass in my pocket, l told you Pm Chauncey Depew-" "Even if you wuz Chauncey Olcott himself" said the conductor firmly, and with a fine flavor of brogue.

MT Boyer soon came in and took his seat beside MT Sully and gave his order for big dinner. While he was doing this MT Sully kept motion ing to the waiter, and giving him the wink to follow out the instructions al ready received from him. When the meatless meal came in, MT Boyer pro- tested, mildly at first, but finding no attention paid to this, finally howled at the waiter to bring him some meat

 VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 An excellent show it is that has it's closing performance at the, Jacques this evening, but ie is like a candle to an electric light when compared to the one that Manager Poli has to offer Monday and all next week Indeed, he presents this as far and away the biggest and bestsf1e has ever put on the Waterbury stage. How he has been able to do this is explained thusIy: Tn his Hartford theater next week he is playing the Imro-Fox vaudeville com bination, and so he finds some extra star acts on his hands. Unable to cancel them, he decided to put the whole bunch into Waterbury and take his chances of coming out even. He asks vaudeville patrons to turn out strong on Monday. judge the show for themselves, and if they don't find his statement correct he will not urge them to come afterward. See the four headliners: Hal Davis and Inez Me cusker in "The Unexpected" Albini, the king of cards; Monroe, Mack and Lawrence in "Pickings from Puck" and Ward and Curran in "The Terri ole Judge" There's quartette of neadliners that for expense and effect iveness Manager Poli has never before grouped on one bill. And backing them will be such star entertainers as the Brown Brothers and Lillian Wright, Nellie Florede. and Al Ander- son and Billy Briggs. There will be no change of prices, however, because of this extra array of talent, these remaining at 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.
