Our Dead in Chicago.

Mr.. James Conner, of Charleston,
President Of the South Carolina Di-
vision of the Daughters of the Con
federacy, has received request for
fifty laurel and palmetto wreaths with
which to decorate the graves of the
Confederate dead in Oakwood Gene
terry, Chicago, OH May 80 The re.
quest has been made by b. Frank Jen-
kins, Commander of Camp s, U. @. v,
Chicago, and Mrs. Conner has inYited
the co operation of the members OF
the Charleston Chapter who are will
ing TO contribute one or two wreatfs,
and of any patriotic women who
have not yet enrolled their names
with the Charleston Chapter, but are
willing to make contribution of these
wreaths." There will doubtless be a
very prompt response to this call oj

The News and Courier says there
is a special obligation upon the wo
men of this State to honor =, head

age Of which we have any record, and
it ought never to be forgotten while
we deserve to be remembered.
When the time for the dedication
OF the Confederate monument in Oak
wood Cemetery was approaching there
was great deal of talk among the ir-
reconcilableS as to whether or not it
should be permitted, and some Of the
more gallant OF the soulters and camp
followers went so far as to say that
the Shaft should not he erected on
the sacred soil of Illinois. Then it
was talked about that Colonel Turn
er's Regiment, the lst Illinois Infant
~, with headquarters in Chicago,
would be invited to fire a salute in
honor OF the dead whose memory was
in this way to be preserved, and then
the Indignation reached white heat
All sorts of incendiary utterances' es-
capped from certain Grand Army
Posts, and the orators filled the air
with their elOquence. Colonel Turn
er, himself veteran of the Army Of
the Potomac and a member OF the
Grand Army, one night down at the
armOry OF bis regiment made a brief
statement. Of the matter to his soldiers
and called for volunteers to fire sa-
lutte over the graves Of the Confeder-
ate dead in Oakwood Cemetery and
asked such volunteers to step three
PAGES to the front. 1t was the
proudest moment of my life, )" said he,
when every man in my command
stepped to the front" And the
salute was fired! 1t was a big thing
for Colonel Turnerner to do, and it is
Il thing that we should never forget.

Pennies Wcrc Too H,lAy

Entcrprising burglars who looted a
peny slot machine concert hall in
Broldway New York, have failed to
escape with their plunder, because one
Of their number broke down under the
burden Of 1900 penn es. The party,
consisting OF three or four men, went
through the machines in full view OF
the street, but were supposed to be
employees. After placing the coins in a
bag, they made Off, but policeman
gave chase. The bag carried broke
down after short run through a
cross street, and dropped the money,
which was recovered intact. None Of
the men were captured.

Negro legally Disrrnnohiscd.

The general subject of Jurisprudence
was discussed at the convention Of the
American Social Science Association
at Baltimore Thursday. The pro.
gram inclnded an address on Dis
franchisement of the Negro from the
Lawyers Standpoint" by r. B. Mbf-
tatt,of New York. Another was by Ell
ward Atkinson, WHO considered the
tendencies in manufacturing toward
indlridualiSm. Mofatt's address con-
tanned many references. to tie CON
yention minutes, State const tuition
and court decisions. His conclusions
were That under the existing court de-
cisionS and the present legal Practice
the Southern States have law a1lly ac-
complished the disfranchscment of
the negro and that the onl Gstep the
Federal government can taae is to re-
duce the South's proportionate repre-
sentation in Congress and ththelecto-
raj college and that judicial aflief is to
be had only by unlikely eli1nsion of
the jurisdiction of the Unp.SH States

Kerosene ronCIeanine.


The cleaning properties of kerosene
are not generally Fecognized.
Nothing makes a kitchen cupboard
more attractive than cleaning tin
ware.
For removing stains and spots from
lavatory basini and bathtub kerosene
cannot be equaled.
Table oilcloths or the linoleum on
the kitchen floor can be kept fresher
and cleaner with oil than with SOAP
and water.
a few drops Of kerosene will accom-
plish this. Soap and water will re-
move the oil, and the odor will soon
disappear. There is nothing like
Kerosene to make the wash basin
shine.
Its effective as furniture polish.
Mahogany can be freed from that blue,
smoky film by the use of few drops
of oil mixed with a little water. Cary

a few drops OF oil will do much to-
ward startling particles of dust from

ing in the lo%er part cloth saturated

SENATOR TELLER SAYS The

TO LIE DOWN
(By Publishers Press.)I


DENVER, Col, Nov 21.sunday
was not a day of rest for the warning
Republicans and Democrats Den,
| yer. Committees%o of both parties
We're busi1y engaged preparing evi-
dence on the alleged election frauds
in this city and outside counties.
Realizing that they are engaged in
a fight to maintain their victory as in
dicated by the unoff1 cia1 returns, the
Democrats actively prepared to as
sumo the offensive. Last week they
we're on the defensive, but beginning
to-day they are working to establish
the fact that there was justas much
fraud among the Republicans at the
polls as there was among the Dem
ocrats.
Milton Smith, chairman of the State
Democratic Committee, Senator Hen
~ NJ. Teller and Samuel Henneberd,
leading attornies engaged with Wm.
H. sDavoren, Denver County Demo.
cratic State Committeeman, were in
conference planning campaign to-
day.
THE Democrats are not going to
lie down. asserted Senator Teller.
This is. not going to be a one.sided
affair, with arrests and prosecutions
all blythe Republicans. Just what ju-
risdiction the Federal court will have
is a question to be decided:
The Democrats are not giving
away their plan OF mpaigns but this
is what it's likely to be: PIP plication
at Washington for a complete review
of the case on writ of error sued
for in the case OF the three Democratic
election Off Gals who Were sent to Jail
for contempt of court; or else applIca-
tions 10 the United States Circuit
.CourtGof Appeals at ST. Louis, for
the release Of the prisoners on a writ
of habeas corpus
The second procedure recommends
itself more favoraby to- the Demo
Gratis than the first. Last year, when
several miners were in custody Of the
State on a charge Of desecrating the
flag and other crimes, the President
and Secretary of the Western Fed
Grafton appealed to the ST. Louis
Court. Governor Peabody, instead
Of fighting the case, released the pris-
oners. s8
