For there is nothing left. Had For aker wrested Mark Hanna's machine away from him there would have been plenty left in life for Hanna, and he would still have been a Senator in the sull sense of the word. But Platt had nothing else; that gone. all is gone.
 This lends new pathos to a scene that has been enacting itself in Washington for two years-Piatt's tragic struggle to keep the people here from seeing his coming fall. He knew. Of course, that it was coming, long ago. odell's in- roads grew more and more patent and as each new citadel was wrested from him the declining boss made an effort so eager that it was almost frantic to keep the significance of it all away from the people here. who looked up to him as New York,s chief. It seemed pthetic then; it is additionally pathe- tic now, when the issue of Odell's re- morseless march is plain to all.
 He chung desperately to the last shred of his only title to Washington's admiration. Once, for example. Odell announced that bill would be dra- gooned through the Legislature. It was a bill which Platt had always op- posed, and at Albany Odelrs announce ment was accepted as the beginning of the end. A newspaper man went to Platt's lonely committee room and asked him about it. It was fairly pitt full to. see the frenzy with which the old man insisted that he had himself urged Odell to put the bill through.
 But said the reporter, John Raines. your lieutenant, says you knew nothing about it, and that it is in op- position to your wishes"
 The old boss became frantic, "John Raines doesn't know anything about it; he doesn't know anything about it!" he cried
 So it went until the night at the White House. when in President .Roosevelt's presence the strong new boss struck his predecessor down and announced that there should be no more Dretense. The demeanor of the two men as they left the White House after that four-hour talk was worthy the brush of a historical painter. Platt bowed, broken, utterly crushed, tot tered to his carriage, refusing to say word except to refer all questioners

There is said to be complaint in Washington of the harshness of the Shperannuation bill reported the other jday by the House Committee on Re form in the Civil Service. This meas ure fixes seventy years as the age limit at which employees on the classified list are to be dropped from the government service. It gives three years of grace, however, to employees affected. or soon to be affected, by this notice of com not to become effective until June 30, 1907. But after that date the attain ment of seventy years is to act as a bar to further employment. It is urged that the discharge of superannuated clerks contemplated by the bill, while un- doubtedly increasing the efficiency of the classified service, would work hard ship and suffering in many individual cases. So fong as no age limit was set,
 
 kindhearted heads of departments and bureau chiefs have hesitated to dis charge employees who had plainly out lived their usefulness. Hundreds of such employees have been kept on the rolls as practical pensioners. To apply an age test will necessarily set these feeble and incapacitated clerks adrift and sentiment in Washington is stirred at what it thinks is an ungenerous ex- hibition of congressional cheeseparing and hard -heartedness.
 Of course this would be rough on some people, but those who are getting four dollars or so week in hard and uncertain work would not think it much of hardship to be sure of good place and good pay until they were seventy.

The year 1903 was the great year in the anthracite coal trade, according to report of the geological survey. The tonnage of that year exceeded by more than 6,000,000 tons that of any previous year and the demand for coal brought 8 fair return to all concerned in the industry. The consumption of smaller sizes of coal increased 2,46S, ,695 tons over 1901, despite the opinion expressed at the close of the anthracite coal strike that bituminous coal had largely sup planted anthracite for steam purposes. The year showed an increase of 15 cents in the average value per ton at the mines The total production was 66,S51,- 71S tons, valued at $152, ,036, ,448. The av- craze price per ton was $250; number of men employed 15O,4S3, and average number of days each man worked 2O6.

The right market for the milk skinned for the purpose of but ter making is really the vital question of the milk industry.

Mrs. Mary Caroline Gilland.

Our town was saddened last
Tuesday by the death of Mrs
Mary Caroline Gilland, who
passed away about 10 o'clock in
the morning at the home of her
son, Hon Thomas NJ Gilland.
Mrs Gilland was eighty years
old and for several years had
been in feeble health. Last
week, as she was getting ready
to visit her sister in Camden,
she slipped and fell to the floor,
sustaining internal injuries,
which, we understand, we're the
immediate cause of her death.
Mrs Gilland, nee Gibbes, was
born and reared in Colleton dis.
trict. In 1874, she was married
to Rev ] R Gilland and for a
time they lived in Chester. In
1853, Rev Mr. Gilland was called
to the pastorate of lndiantown
church, where he remained un-
til his death in 1878. Since that
time Mrs Gilland has lived for
the most part in Kingstree at
the home of her son. Her i'm
mediate family consist of a Sis
ter, Miss Sue Gibbes, of Cam
den, s. c., and T M Gilland,
Esq.
The funeral services were
held at Indiantown church at
1890 O'Clock a. M, yesterday
Wednesday,, being conducted
! by Rev Mr. Darnell, the pastor,
and she was laid to rest in the
churchyard by the side of her
husband.
Mrs Gilland was a typical
South Carolina gentle-woman.
Pleasant-spoken, refined and
courteous, she had a kindly
word for every one, and her
daily walks of life we're adorned
by the feminine graces that
were hers by nature and dispo-
,sition. She is sincerely mourned
/ by a large circle of friends, who
mingle their tears with those OF
the bereaved family in common
grief for the loss of loved one.

Letter to J. NJ. Nexsen.

Dear Sir: The cheap paint to
buy is the one that covers more
than you think; the cheap one to
wear is the one that is young
when old.
Mrs Moore of Kelsey, N. Y,
bought 16 gallons Deve to paint
her house two coats, her painters
said it would take that, Had E
gallons left.
Mr. James Ackley's house, in
Cairo (Catskill Mountains), N.
Y, was painted with Deve; it
wore IA years; and the paint was
in good condition then. He was
going to paint, the last we knew,
though. That's the way to pre-
serve a house; repaint when
there's no occasion.
Yours truly,
