a Dcama of Heart Interest.

In why Women Sin," the author,
win G. Murphey, succeeded in writ
ing play full of heart interest, thrill
ling Incidents, sensational climaxes
and good comedy, without losing a
thread of the intricate plot and novel
story. All Of the scenes are laid in
New York City, and the audience is
given an opportunity to witness some
of the greatest dramatic situations
ever attempted on the stage. Upon
its recent production in the metrop-
oils, the press and public were un-
animous in pronouncing this q truly
wonderful play, inasmuch that while
it is sensational to the extreme there
is nothing suggestive or immoral in
the entire production. The attention
0t the audience is held throughout
the entire performance, and aside
from the serious interest Of the play,
sufficient comedy situations are
thrown in to keep the audience well
balanced betwean laughter and tears.
Lovers Of sensational drama should
not fail to see this magnificent pro-
duction at Academy Of Music on
Thursday. \ pril !.

eve, 1902, has been granteLi hail in
the sum Of s., 900 by Judge Ernest
Gary. The case was beard Monday
in the court house in this city. Tie
argument in favor Of bail was inAJ
the Jury had indeed found Mcdaniel
guilty uf murder but had rrCurumeud-
ed the convicted man to the mercy o.
the court and thus had put Itself on
record as believing the crime not to
he deserving OF capital punishment.
The case has attracted attention be-
cause the defendant is of gnod family
and connected with some Of the best
families in the State. He had gone
TO the penitcntiary to serve his term
when mainly through the efforts Of
Mr.. Leroy T. YoumanS he secured a
stay Of sentence pending an appeal to
the supreme court. His case in the

and the petition for a new trial was
ganted. Mcdaniel will have no

Death Of Mr.. A. G. Bruce.

The young may die, the old must
die, and the wiSest Of Us know not
how soon. Nearing the meridian of
life, with the promise of long and
useful career before him, and enjoy
ing the confidence and respect Of loyal
friends, and coniling family, A.
Clinton Bruce, was called hence to a
higher and nobler sphere. The uni
versatility Of death does not lessen its
terrors. The living know that they
shall die, is the voice OF revelation
which sings In m )urnful cadence in
every eAr. Into every grave we gaze
with new aStonishment, and over the
lifeleSS form Of every friend we stand
in silence nd amazement. AS the
years pass like Summer Clouds, one
after another Of those whom we have
known and esteemed, enter the dark
valley Of the shadow Of death and de-
part to that undiscovered Country
from whose bourne no traveller returns.
the subject Of this notice was about
thirty-four years of age, and ConSis.
tent member Of the Methodist church,
and he died as he had lived--a good
man, and his greatest monument
will be the heritage he has left his
family in the example of a faithful
Christian life. Our esteemed friend
was a stundent in the College Of Pnar-
macy in Charleston, 1901 and 1902. and
would have graduated in March 1903,
but while attending College, he con,
tracted the fatal malady, consump-
tion, and was compelled TO return to
his home in Branchville, where he
died on last Wednesday. With a
calmness that is born of Christian for
ttude he faced the ordeal Of his dis
solution, aud his spirit laid off its
mortal coil and passed over the
river, giving US the assurance that
the bright star Of earthly existence
had only sunk into the more brilliant
dawn Of a new and better life.

A Panic Party.

At St. Matthews on last Tuesday

a few young people with very enjoy
able panic party. She was assisted
in receiving and Entertaining her
guests by Mrs. w. Welch. The recep-

bright and beautiful by bamboo vines
and spiral Wreaths. The quiet beauty
Of the rooms was in marked contrast
to the confusion Of voices calling cor
ners on different stocks. Finally when
excitement had reached it's height
members Of the exchange were sud
denly reminded Of the fact that there
are better things in life than the mere
acquisition of wealth-for then it was
that a tempting fruit course was SER
we'd. After music and chatter good
byes were said and the gay party hied
home with pleasant memories to keep
them company. Those present were:

Able, Lucia Bee Able, and Murray;
