Columbia, Jan. % In the House
today considerable work was done in
disposing of a great mass of legisla-
tion that principally affects the var
ious counties and local communities.
There is always gaeat deal Of such
legislation necessary to authorize the
issuance Of bonds, to provide for the
reissuance of bonds, to authorize the
borrowing of money. etc.
upon only uncontested matters, and
under this provision quite number
of local matters were disposed Of, one
of the most important being a bill
which authorizes the City Council Of
Charleston to imposes if deemed ad-
visable, license fees of as much as
$50, 900.
Mr.. Rainsford succeeded in having
the House pass resolution looking to
an inquiry by the Penltentiary auth orr
ties into the advisability Of the State
going into the fertilizer business.
Clemson College, from the drift of
the talk of the members, has rather
heavy bank account, and, as one mem
Der expressed it today. the purpose is
to take away some of it's surplus rather
than have it get "incurable gout.''
Mr.. D. O. Herbert of Orangeburg,
made proposition by which 124 bene
fciary scholarships are TO be created
for Clemson College, with an award
of 500 to each Of the scholarships,
this money to be paid out of the re-
sources of Clemson College. The idea
seemed to take very well, as it will
cost the State nothing, and will SIM
ply tax the present resources of Glenn
son College to the amount of So, 400,
which is regarded as a bagatelle to
that institution, and the great diff
Guilty now, judging from the develop
ment of the discussion. is as to how
these scholarships are TO be regulated,
and whether they can be used towards
the development of the agricultural
feature of the College, ard whether it
is possible to make the College more
of a farmers college than otherwise.
Nothing was done upon the measure
today, and it promises to be a field
for considerable agitation, and the
only point now is whether the bill
will be loaded down with amendments
in the House or not.
There was considerable time lost
during the day on motions to adjourn
and fixing the time for meeting on
Monday. After the usual wasting of
time and the foolish calling of a yea
and nay vote on motion to adjourn
the House decided to meet onMonday
at noon.
Among the bills reported from tie
various committees there was favor-
able report on Mr.. Whaley's bill rela-
tive to maximum railroad rates as
fixed by failroads, and Messrs. Maui
din, Williams and Coggeshall were ap-
pointed to act as committee of con-
ference on the Lanham baggage bill,
on which there is now disagreement
between the two houses.
A petition was received from the
Catawba Indians of Y,rk asking for
an increase of appropriation from the
State.

use of the blank space that is found

the bald head is being made use of
in Paris for advertising purposes, and
the owners of such space are receiv-
ing about four times the wages paid
to sandwich men" such as are seen
on the streets of New York and other
large cities.
Heretofore the polished poll has been
regarded merely as a mark OF dis
tinction, without unitarian purposes.
1t has been as a beacon light shining
good will and hospitality to all man
kind, and lure Of buzzing things to
their death. 1t has been a sign board
OF joviality; a hallmark of the good
fellow. But as far as is known, Paris
is the first city to make the bald head
a billboard. In the French capital,
it is said. it is becoming a common
sight to see bald heads emblazoned
in red, blue and yellow with adver-
tisements telling of the virtues of
Bleachem's Pills, Queers Soap, Pea
nuts Perfumes, Crapaud's Tailoring
and the like. At the theater pates

The Columbus (Ga) Enquirer Sun

made that Judge Parker select Mr.

The Norfolk Va.) Landmark (Dem.)
says: Another Republican newspaper
which is in a rage with the Democrats
because they persist in calling atten-
ton to the bad treasury showing is the
New York Tribune, which is working
overtime to counterfeit the effect of

geous and commendable. When Demo-
cratic journals referred to the June
slump, the Tribune INDUCED in the

This story is told Of one Haverstick,
a clairvoyant and great linguist, says
the Argonaut. One day, on a train in
Russia, he offered to read the thoughts
of any passenger. A lean man with
covetous eyes took him up.
Il will give you so roubles," this man
said, IF you will read my thoughts"
The train was bound for Mini
Novgorod, and Haverstick said:
You, sir, are a merchant. You are
thinking that at the fair at Mini you
will buy goods to the value of $4,000
roubles, and afterward you will fail.

basis of per cent
The covetous mans eyes lit up, and
he handed Haverstick the so roubles
without a word.
"Aha!" said the cfairvoyant, II read
your thoughts correctly, eh?'
NO" said the other, you were
wrong; but you gave me an idea that
was well worth the money"

day he walked into a leading st. Louis
hotel, and squaring himself before the

read the name with quick glance and
said:

No was the answer.

JUDGE PARKER's RESIGNATION.

The entire absence of spectacular
| scenes of any sort in connection with
| Judge Parker's resignation of the office
of Chief Judge OF the Court of Appeals
was in keeping with the character OF
a man. The circumstances surround
ing the resignation were In marked
contrast with about, everything of a
public character done by the President.
When the latter leaves or returns TO
the White House he likes to be accom-
panied by a troop Of cavalry. When,
for instance. Mr.. Root resigned the
Office Of Secretary of War the Presi-
dent sent a company of cavalry with
him TO the depot.
There was considerable speculation
as to whether Judge Parker would re-
sign before or after Aug. s, but the
speculation was by his political enc
mics. They said he would resign after
that date, so there could be no cleo
ton to I'LL the vacancy this year. and
he would have a chance to be reelected
10 the office next year, in the event of
his failure TO be elected President.
Judge Parker took nobody into his
confidence, but no doubt he made up
his mind TO resign as soon as he was
nominated for President. Even those
who said he would leave the way open
to get back to the office of Chief Judge,
must have felt. when they made the
statement. that they were doing him
an injustice.
The people are becoming better ac-
quainted with Judge Parker every day,
and the more they hear about him the
better they like him. His modesty and
frankness please them, and his prompt
ness to act in emergencies. as was
shown in the case of his famous gold
standard telegram, strengthens their
confidence in him. There's no doubt
that his popularity is steadily increas-
ing.
Now that he is private citizen again
he will give his whole time to the cam
paign. 1t will not be long before he
will have the differences between the
Democratic factions in New York adj
justed and the leaders working harmo-
niously for the success of the ticket.

and Davis. According to the stars,
he says, Judge Parker is destined to
be triumphantly elected, and Mr.. Davis
will live for eleven years yet. Roose-

got mixed up in the unfortunate con-
functions with evil planets, which
makes it impossible for him to he sue
oessful at the polls. All of which is
very interesting, but it will not cause

woman, had lost SO. A tweIve-year-

1t and have got it right here in my

with his hand into his trouser pocket
and then blank astonishment filed his
eyes. The bill was not there, but
there was a big hole in the bottom of
the pocket through which 1t had evil

MOUNTAIN AS a GIFT.

Vermont millionaire VIII Convert
Lofty Peak Into PahIfc Park.
That at least one peak in the males
tic old Green mountain range will be
preserved III its natural grandeur, IN
harmed except by the hand Of time, Is
due to the generosity Of Joseph Battell
OF Middlebury. Vt, says the Boston
Globe. For many years Mr. BatteIl has
interested himself in the preservation
Of the forests Of his state, especially
those upon the slopes. and that the
people may enjoy the charms which
nature provides So lavlshly he has pur-
chased q peak, which he proposes to
convert into a park for the benefit Of
the citizens Of Vermont
Towering high above the majority 81
It's companions. Ellen mountain, as 1t
has been ehrlstened by the owner,
stands silent sentinel 1000 feet above
the beautiful valley below, in which
uestles the town Of Warren. The top
which comprises some 1000 acres,
gives one a panoramic view that can.
not be eclipsed la New England. The
mountain is still very largely covered
with forests and the upper portion Of
it with the original spruce.
Mr.. BatteIl intends to construct a
massive steel tower and otherwise add
to the comfort and convenience Of the
tourist by the building Of suitable bril-
die paths
Mr.. Battel devotes considerable en-
ergy 70 the study Of the sciences. His
wealth has been acquired largely by
inheritance, but his fortune Pas been
increased By his large purchases Of
timber lands In Vermont, his holdings
approximating 10000 acres.
