NERVE SAVED STEVE eRopih.
Charley Mitchell Thought Better Of
intended Chastisement.

The presence in New York of Mitch
ell, once boxing champion of England,
recalls an incident in the strenuous
career of the late Steve" Brodie.
who jumped from the Brooklyn bridge
nearly score of years ago to glory,
prosperity and histrionic fame. Brodie
visited London in the early nineties,
where Mitchell. playing the part Of
cicerone one night. introduced the
Bowery boy at the Spooferies club, a
resort for prize fighters, horse jockies,
and their kind, where the festivities
are seldom concluded before daylight
and the police have more than once
been called upon to restrain merri-
ment.
In the course of general converse
ton the English fighter happened to
make some adverse comment upon the
then mighty John l.. Sullivan, which
called forth sarcastic remark from
Brodie with reference to Mitchells
abilities as Splinter while in the ring
with the American champion.
With an oath the Englishman gave
the smaller man a push that sent him
reellng ten feet backward, and then
rushed upon him to administer correc-
ton for the others temerity. Brodie
was due for fearful bruising, but the
Bowery boy was equal to the occasion.
He was erect on his feet with pistol
In his hand when the prize fighter
reached him. Putting the weapon I'M
der the others nose, he remarked
calmly:
"You tink you're goin' to make
reputation Oh lickin' Steve Brodie.
don't yer? Well, you just hit me once
and there'll be lot in the papers
about 1t. but you won't read it."
Fully approaching the inutility of
post-mortem notoriety, Mitchell ex-
planned that he was only joking, and
the incident was closed.-New York
Times
"Yes," said the artist, this picture

Model Of Resolutions,

Il heard Of a great many excellent
resolutions that were made on Jan. L."
said District Attorney Jerome of New
York, "and the majority of them. am
afraid, have been broken but to my
way Of thinking there was none in the
whole lot so good as resolution
adopted by young German apothe-
cary Of the east side. When asked
what he had sworn off he said:
~ have resolved never to speak Of
a mans virtues to his face nor of his
faults behind his back
~ am told that once at dinner par
ty this same young fellow, who is very
difident, was twitted on not entering

answered.:

Moses Winstock.

Moses Winstock passed away on
Wednesday night. He had lived in
this city the larger part of his long
and honorable life, and during all the
years of his earthly pilgrimage he had
done justly. loved mercy and walked
humbly with mis- God. For twenty
one years he was one of the mast use
full and honored citizens of Abbeville
County. and there was never a stain
upon his reputation. Whether he
was engaged in the marts of trade or
in the quiet life of the country he was
the same kindly, broad-mlnded, hon.
orable gentleman, keeping the Com
mandments, and distributing of bis
good things to the poor, and living as
one who had an account to give of the
blessings which had been bestowed up
on him, and of the place which be
filled so long and worthily In the re-
spect and affection of his friends.
In Interpreting some of the hardest
chapters in the book of Providence,
the advancement of the wicked and
the hardships of the righteous, the roy
al Psalmmist sang: MARX the perfect
man and behold the upright: for the
end of that man is peace" 1t was so
with Mr.. Winstock, He gave offence
to no one. He was liberal to the full
extent of bis means in all bis charities.
He was orthodox in all the observ-
snces of his ancient faith. He lament
ed the departures which had been
made by his people in their religious
customs, and be stood fast by the
teachings of his fathers. We knew
him for many years, how many it is
not worth noting, and VIZ never knew
him to do ali unworthy act or give ut
terance to an unworthy thought.
