Spartanburg, Jan. 80. The
body Of an unknown white man
was found in a box car in the
Southern yards yesterday morn
ing. Mr.. E. B. Atkinson, an
employe at the Southern freight
depot, was engaged in checking
up the bales of cotton left IN the
box cars of second section Of
freight No. "a, which was discov.
cred on fire in the Southern yards,
few nights ago, and SO bales
OF which were damaged. The re-
msining AZ bales were being taken
from tho smoked and scorched car
and were being placed into anoth-
er car, when Mr. Atkinson and
his cOlored assistant were startled

clue as ~ The icntity of the de-
ceased. The general rresump
ton ~ that he was Syrian or
Italian of the laboring classes,
and that he crept into the box car
at Meridian, Miss, where the
cotton was loaded and shipped fo.
Gastonia, N. &. In his pocket
was found 26 cents, in the very
smallest denominations of cur
rency. No letters or papers were
found on his person, save re-
ceipt from local express office in
New York city, and on this paper
was the address "AustelI, Ga"
What purported to be the name
of tho psrson to whom the receipt
was issued was unintelIigible to
all the spectators and to the coro>
ner. Had tho characters been
Chinese or Sanskrit it would have
been as easy to decipher. The
man appeared to bs about 35
years of age, he was comfortably
dressed, but not neatly; iand was
powerfully built; his muscular
development was superb, and he
had evidently been used to hard
manual work or training. His
complexion was somewhat olive
or dark, as is the case with Sy-
rians. His hair was black and
curly, his lips large and his feata
ures irregular. His death was
evidently due to strangulation.
When the cotton began burning
the close, compact quarters were
soon filled with smoke, and it was
doubtless in futile, frantic ef-
foit to escape from his fate that
caused him to become wedgsd be-
tween two bales of cotton and suf-
focated and burned.
The verdict of the coroner's 8
jury was that deceased, an un-
known man, came to his death
from suffocation and burns. His
body will be buried by the South,
srn Railway Company.

FRIDAYS PROCEEDINGS

Colum bis, Jan 29-The House
today, by = vote of SO to As, kills
ed the committee bill providing
for ton circuit courts.
BY vote of 6s to SO the De-

killed.
The last stand was made on the
Magill bill which also provided
for ten circuits. This was killed
by vote of SO to 4S.
Nearly the entire day was spent

plan.

the sacred scapular.
Suppose that some one who signal
ICES himself in the defense of his coun-
try is honored by that country with
some badge of distinction, will such a
person cast aside his honors CONTEMPT
uously? Should not the piece of
brown cloth made in the form of q
scapular and emitting us to special
blessing be worn with respect? writes
Rev. Father Walshe.
1t may be held that wearing the
scapular is simply a bit of supersti-
ton. Granted, if we attribute any
power to the material object, the bit
of cloth. But we do justly attribute
great power to the Mother of God, in
whose honor scapulars are worn.
Mary herself, when in 1857 she ap-
peared to st. Simon Stock of England,
assured him that those wearing scapu-
lars with honor and devotion would
never be punished with eternal tor
ment. Surely the mother Of the Savior
has the Power of putting her promise
in execution. The wearer, however,
must hold the badge with generation
and endeavor to lead a life of recti-
tude. 1t will not do to expect protec-
ton through the scapular unless there
is a corresponding stamp of her ap-
prevail.
Since the advantages are great and
the requirements few, the badge of the
Blessed Virgin should be worn with
respect as garment of protection,
just as one wears the insignia of office
Of privilege, placing trust in the pro-
tective power of the Mother of God.
All Catholics should be careful not to
neglect to avail themselves of the
simple means of grace by enrolment
among those who desire the aid of
Mary against the temptations of life
and in the struggles of the hour of
death.

that deserves the kind consideration of
all who are inclined to aid suffering
humanity and who may be able to
render assistance. The Irish Standard

bert, Sask., N. w. T., Canada.
Jan. 25, 1904.
Dear Mr.. Editor: 1 beg to appeal to
the kind hearts of your readers on
behalf of over fifty poor little children,
who are suffering extremely from the
severe cold of our Northern climate,
especially at night for want of suf-
ficient bedding. In the day time they
are busily occupied, and hence do not
feel such great need of the abundance
of warm clothing, which they should
have in order to be we'll clad. But at
night, when after the long hours Of
work and play they are put into their
poorly-covered beds, it is impossible
for even these tired children to sleep
soundly, as they are rarely, if ever,
warm enough, even after we have
given them part of the covers of our
own beds.
oil
lines to help us speedily to relieve the
bitter sufferings of our poor little boys
and girls. If with the aid of your
friends you can possibly send bale
of old quilts and blankets, we shall be
more grateful than words can ex-
press. Some merchants with whom
you deal may be induced to give some
thing towards this great charity. 1t
will not cost more to send one hundred
pounds by freight than it would be
to send twenty-five pounds, and on
these charitable donations we have no
duty to pay. If you are not in posi-
ton to give bedding, little help to-
wards buying some will be gratefully
received. Five dollars will enable us
to purchase the extra blankets re-
quired for each bed; but even a small
Ter contribution than that will be
thankfully received. I beg Of you for
the love Of the Divine Child, Jesus, to
do for His little ones here a charity
that He has promised to reward as if
done to Himself. These poor chill
dren's prayers daily ascend to Heaven
for all those who help them, and our
good bishop has many holy masses
celebrated each year for our bene-
factors, who also participate in all
the prayers and good works of the
sisters and oblates in charge of the
work.
Please address all letters and dona.
