SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1904.

The question of the extent of
newspaper influence will ever re-
main debatable, but it is significant
that while twelve of the fourteen
dailies published in Greater New
York supported Mckinley in both
his presidential campaigns, only
three-The Press, Mail and Tri.
bune-are now supporting Roose>
welt. 1t is pcrculiarly gratifying
that The Evening Post is an earn
est supporter of Pa, ker, for while
its counsel nay not be potential
with either Democrats or Repub-
licans it is the gospel to the indc-
pendents-the mugwumps, if you
please 1t is with this element
that the Democratic candidate
needs help, all Democrats being
for him anyhow and practically all
the Republicans against him. -

The News and Courier of We'd
nesduy we take the following par
ticular of his sad death:
Dr. I. B Mellow was found
DEAD in his bed at his residence,
No. 10l Rutledge avenue, yes
terday morning at $50 o'clock,
by his cousin, Mr.. J. G. Mellow,
who had been summoned to the
place by servant. DR.. Mellow
had not been seen since he went
to his room to retire on Saturday
night, and it is thought that he
must have died almost imme-
dlately after retiring. When
found he was lying on his back
on his bed, no part Of which was
in the slightest disarranged.
The clothes, which he had worn
during the day, we're lying
folded on a chair, and there was
beside the bed u pitcher of water
and glass half full of water.
No members OF his family were
in Charleston and it was FOR this
reason that the dead man was
was not sooner discovered.
| AS soon as it was ascertained
that DR.. Mellow was dead the
coroner was at once notified, aud
Deputy Coroner Connolly at
once went to the residence and
took charge. DR.. E. A. Baker
was called and came to examine
the body. After an Investigation
he decided that death had been
brought about by natural caus-
es, and that DR.. Mellow chad
died from heart disease. DR..
Baker said that, judging from
the condition of the corpse, that
death must have taken place
soon after DR.. Mellow retired on
Saturday night, July % The
body was very much swollen,
and when taken N charge by
McAlister's 8 undertaking estab-
ilshment to be prepared for bur.
ial it was hardly recognizable.
| The coroner issued a certificate
in accordance with the physi-
cian' report, and announced that
no inquest or postmortem would
be held.
Joseph Truep, who had been
in DR.. McDow's employ for sew
eral years, went to the Police
Station yesterday morning and
stated that he had not seen his
employer since the Saturday
night preceding and that he was
afraid that his master had come
to some harm. He stated that
he had rung the bell repeatedly
and that there had been no re.
sponse. Because of tt is silenc g

to go for Mr. j. G. Mellow, a

facts in the case. He did so and
this gentleman at once went to
the residence in Rutledge ave.
nue, and having forced an en-
trance into the building, upon
entering the bed room came up
on a horrible sight. He found
his kinsman lying dead upon
his bed-and there seemed 10 be
little doubt, from the appearance
OF the corpse and the odor that
was perceptible throughout the
house, that Dr.. Mellow had been
dead for some time.
There were no members of

Benny's Composition on the Hen.

The hen is the female sex of the
rooster. She is very useful when you
want eggs, which are sometimes forty
cents a dozen and are unwholesome
if eaten copiously when they are hard
boiled.
The hen frequents barns and 9th
er agricultural places, and is always
hungry except when she is setting, at
which time she becomes much irri-
tated and will infict severe injuries
upon you if you attempt to caress
her.
Once my Uncle Burtram had a
hen that set for five weeks On a wal
nut, two boot heels and a glass stop
per. She did not hatch anything.
From this we learn that we should
have some great object in life and
stick to~it.
Let us be punctual in our attend
ance at school and mind our teach
er. Some hens have feathers all the
way down their legs.
To tell when a hen is done, you
cook five or six hours and then stick
a fork into her chest, but I prefer q
nice piece of custard pie.

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
Little Brown Hands.

They drive home the COWS from the
pasture,
Up through the long, shady lane,
Where the quail whistles loud in the
w~heatfelds
That are yellow with ripening
grain.
They find in the thick waving
grasses,
Where the scarlet-lipped strawber-
ry grows;
They gather the earliest snowdrops
And the first crimson buds of the
rose.
They toss the new hay in the meadow,
They gather the elder bloom white:
They find where the dusky grapes
purple
In the soft-tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang
ripest
And are sweeter than Italy's wines:
They know where the fruit hangs
the thickest
On the long thorny blackberry
vines.
They gather the delicate seaweeds
And build tiny castles of sand;
They pick IN the beautiful sea-
shells
Fairy banks hat have drifted to
land.
They wave from the tall, rocking
tree-tops,
Where the orioles hammock nest
swings,
And at night time are folded in
slumber
By a song that a fond mother
sings.
Those who toll bravely are strong

The humble and poor become great,
And so from these brown-handed
children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state.

The noble and wise of the land,
The sword and the chisel and palette
Shall be held in the little brown
hand.

CHURCH MEMBERS WARNED,
RaV

The one question of transcendant
Importance to each of US is, Am l
right with God?' 1t cannot be an
swered by pleading membership in
church or large gifts to religious and
beneficent objects. No man with
wrong heart can be right with Gou.
Jesus was all the time driving down
through profession AMI pretension into
the depths of the soul and the purposes
that abide there. The weakness of
Christianity lies in the fact that so
many people assume that if they attend
to certain religious forms they are safe.
The man who robs his fellows with one
hand is not right with God, even
though he use the other to bcstow gifts
upon the poor. The man who is unfor-
giving or dishonest or ignores the vel
fare of his brother man is condemned
of God, no matter what his standing s.
the church or what his faithfulnes8 in
outward religious duties.
