GIRL STUDENTS

Hoeu Cuo Russian Moidens
Settled q Dispute With
Fissols.

Recent cable dispatches brought an
account Of q tragic affair that occurred
recently in the students quarters Of
st. Petersburg, the principals being
two girl students. The story is most
dramatic. One Of the girls made the
acquaintance Of a young man Of good
family and became secretly engaged to
him. Shortly afterward she introduced
to her fance another young girl, an In
innate friend Of her own. At this
point the tragedy began, for the fckle
lover Immediately fell deeply In love
with his aancee's friend, and. what
was SIN woase, the attachment was
mutual
The girls, however. true to their
friendship, had no secrets from one an
other. and the newcomer confded to
the betothed girl the fact that she and
the young man were In love. The two
girls were IN despair and at length de-
termined that the death Of one Of them
offered the only solution Of the difficult
g. They accordingly resolved upon
fighting what the Russians call an
American duel"
Locking themselves In room with q
revolver. they drew lots, and it fell out

Card from Supervisor Bruce.

EDITOR TIE BAMBERG HERALD:-In
regard to the card of Treasurer Folk in
your last weeks paper, in which he gives
the financial condition of the county, l
fail to understand how the statement of
county expenses published by you re-
Gently could have created wrong i'm
preston. This statement of each years
expenses has always been madeup By the
clerk of our board every January in order
that our representatives could see what
each department of the county cost AMI
know how to make appropriations for the
coming year. This statement has been
published every year, so, why could it
create wrong impression as stated by
Mr.. Folk, I cannot see.
The expenses are correct, for in it are
included the unpaid salaries and all
claims against the county Therefore,
after paying the county expenses for 1908
we should have about $4,000 to apply to
back Indebtedness. In other words, the
county will be that much nearer out of
debt than it was one year ago.
The S2,O73.35 paid out of county funds
last year to replace that amount Of school
funds used by the county was not men
toned in the statement of expenses, and
had no right to be there. That was no
part of county expenses, but was school
money used several years ago for county
purposes by my predecessor in Office, and
in order for it to be paid back to the
schools, special act had to be passed BY
the legislature. This was done last Janu-
ary, and consequently the money could
not be returned until last year.

County Supervisor.
Bamberg, S. c., February 8, 1904.

The Ithaca Concert Co.

The entertainment presented by one OF
the concert companies of the Ithaca Con.
servatory of Music, at the Carlisle Fitting
School Chapel, in this city, last Thurs.
day evening, was q distinct disappoint'
,ment to many of the very large audience,
True, the soprano was sick, and unable
to render any of her single numbers, it
being stated that she had got out of bed
to come to the hall but the listless dis
piriting manner of the other members OF
the company, threw damper upon the
whole program.
This attraction had been widely adver-
tised as something unusually good, and it
is exceeding unfortunate in the face of
this, that so many of those present should
criticise the entertainment.

aserie tent their impressions Of the
thrilling spectacle would have under.
gone a quick and startling change.
Half q dozen showmen were busy
cutting the stauous folds Of the python
from the poor little body Of the gypsy
Rirl, who was twisted and bruised.
."See how sweetly she smiles" whis-
pered one Of the showmen.
The next day the newspapers were
told how La Pantella was squeezed to
death by a python In sight Of thou
sand persons so stupid that they cried
"Bravov' as the reptile closed about his
victim.
Stupid? Perhaps not. Every one is
not expected to know what It means to
be crushed in the coils Of a python.
Had the woman rolled her eyes In pain
or terror or had she screamed or even
raised a hand In call for help those
who watched her open mouthed and
alert would have known.
But the python Is a stealthy execu-
toner. Possessed Of no tongue Of ven
ON, he must depend upon his great
muscles to slowly overcome his prey.
Mile. Anita Fougere, who Is admitted
by the members Of her particular ayo-
cation to be one Of the most notable CT
its exponelts, has been giving exhibi-
lions in this country. She has been
squeezed by python and thus de-
scribes the sensations:
my preference always ran toward
the larger snakes. loved the big boas,
the cobras and the pythons. Let the
men fool with silly little eopperheals
and rattlefsl
"But to sst down to the story Of how
I was squeezed to death
I'VE were In Canada, and It was win
ter. The weather was 80 cold that my
snakes were almost good for nothing.
The cobras were just 80 many logs the
moment took them out Of their warm

"The performance was In the even

tired The days work had been trying.
There was Just one more act, the exhi-
bttton Of Monarch, my big python.

several days. was not quite sure OF
him. The night before as he had
wound himself about my body I no

frightened just little.

sive, but sometimes we just can't help
It. was so the moment I reached
into the box and drew out the cold
head Of Monarch that evening.
II reasoned, however, that the wealth
er would soon take out Of him any
wickedness he might have, so pro-
ceeded with the final act.
Monarch had been trained to creep
out Of his box. would take out enough
Of his body to wind once around my
waist, and then I would stand still
while he dragged along the rest Of his
eleven fees and encircled me.
'This he would do most gently.
