An Answering Silence.

Young ladies with fondness for
infantile admirers should be warned
by an episode at a seaside resort last
summer.
An engaging masculine of seven
years became on exceedingly good
terms with the belle of this particu-
lar hotel, girl about twenty years
his senior. One day the charmer
asked the swain to 90 bathing, and
after the bath, as they returned to
their bathhouses, the small man sug-
gested a race to see who could dress
first. They entered the lighthouses,
which adjoined, and in short time
youthful treble called, sMiss Ethel,
oh Miss Ethel, I've got my stockings
on"
A low contralto answered, eyes,
Robbie, so have l."
After short pause the irrepressi-
BILE again called, "Miss Ethel, I've
got my shoes on"
Again came the answer, eyes,
dear, 30 have l."
Again a pause-then triumphant
voice shrilly proclaimed, "Miss
Ethel, I've got my pants on"
The answering silence was oppres.

New Trial Ia Rochester ca...

In the opinion Of the Supreme Court,
handed down on last Saturday, Earle
Rochester, under sentence of death fol
the killing Of Walter Mills, was granted
new trial. The Supreme Court bases
the reversal Of the lower court on an
error of Special Judge Mccullough in
his charge to the Oconee jury In defining
the rights of q citizen on his own premi-
ses. Much interest has been manifested
in this case before and since the trial In
the Circuit Court, and much speculation
as to the action of the Supreme Court
has been INDUCED In. The next term of
court for Oconee e,will be held in October,
beginning on Monday, the 9th. The sec
ond trial of this case will elliott q great
deal of interest. The opinion was rem
dered oy Associate Justice Eugene b.

a Coed M..,Ias a. Seneca.

The meeting which closed here
last Tuesday night was great meet
ing in every way. The congrega-
tions were large and attentive, the
preaching was most excellent, and
the results as good as God could
make them under the circu instances.
DR.. w. J. Langston and v. I. Mas.
ters we're with us the first few days,
and did most acceptable preaching.
Brother M. E. Parish, of Shelby, N.
g., did the rest of the preaching.
His sermons were clear, concise,
logical, forceful, biblical and earnest.
AS result, the church is revived,
with the exception of very few
members, who appear to be entirely
indifferent. We are praying for
them, that the Lord may put his
Spirit upon them. AS another re.
suit, last night | baptized eight into
the fellowship of the church. The
meeting closed last Tuesday without
giving an opportunity for member
ship. The opportunity to make a
public profession was given during
the meeting and several utilized
those opportunities. The door of
the church was opened yesterday,
when eight joined and we're baptized.

Blasted with Forty.Five Tons Of Dynamite

An electric spark last Saturday, at
Portsmouth. New Hampshire, discharged
forty-five tons of dynamite, and three
acre ledge that had menaced navigation
in Piscataqua river point, was destroyed.
Setting off this enormous amount of ex-
plosive, which is said to have been the
largest ever handled at one time in this
country, if not in the world, was at
tended by little danger and by no acci-
dent. 1t was declared complete sue
cess, both by the contractors who car
ried out the undertaking and by the
United States government officials who
have supervised the work. The switch
by which the immense blast was dis
charged was operated by Miss Ethel
Foster, the young daughter of Superin-
tendent Foster, of the contracting firm,
at signal given by Rear Admiral w. w.
Mead, commandant of the Portsmouth
navy yard. Thirty thousand persons
witnessed this event. The contractors
were three years in making preparations
for the blast.

shot and killed last night by Sheriff
Denny, a young man 81 years of age.
The tragedy occurred at 7.3O O'Clock at

of Misunderstanding about note
which Denny had received abont his
mother.
Oliver, Denny and Wesly Pye met on
the railroad track last night and began
to discuss the matter. Denny, it is
alleged, invited Oliver to step aside a
few PAGES and settle the affair. When
they stepped aside Denny drew his re-
volver and shot Oliver twice through the
body, killing him instantly.
Denny was arrested last night and ia
in Jail at Leesburg, charged with murder.

PotteTs Saloon Caused Sorrow In Heaven.

"There was rejoicing in hell and sorrow
in Heaven when Bishop Potter opened a
subway saloon in New York." said Bishop
Luther B. Wilson, d. b., of Chattanooga,
Tenn, recently, in addressing thousand
people at meeting of the International
Epworth League convention. The utter
ances created great sensation for their
very boldness. Following his remarks
the congregation broke into the widest
applause. The Bishop was speaking ON
1.-THE Legalized Saloon" and said:
"a legalized saloon is shame to civil
government and an insult to God. A sa-
loon is the same whether it be situated
In the darkness of an alleyway, where
murderers and thieves may seok the COM
panionship to be found there, or upon
the open street in sight of the multitudes
that go by"
The bishop paused for an instant. his
chest heaved, and then, with a sweeping
gesture, he fairly shouted:
"You can't consecrate damnation, you
can't change hell. If there was ever q
time when all hell broke out in laughter,
it was when this saloon was opened with
prayer and Christian songs. If there
was ever time when all the angels in
heaven wept 1t was when this damnable
and gigantic sacrilege was consum-
mated" d."-Philadelphia Ledger.

Swan Niagara Rapids.

Carlisle d. Graham, of Niagara
Falls, and William j. Glover, Jr., of
Baltimore, successfully swan the
lower rapids of the Niagara river
from the American side of the whirl-
pool to Lewiston on July 17th. The
distance of four miles was covered in
twenty-six minutes by Glover.
The start was made at 400 p. m.
from Flatrock, which is on the
American side. The swimmers did
not venture in the upper rapids,
where Capt. Webb lost his life.
Both men wore life belts and in.
fated rubber rings around their
necks. From the start Glover took
the lead. He entered the rapids
about a minute ahead of Graham
Until the Devils Hole was reached
the swift current and roaring rapids
had the swimmers in their grasp
AT that point a swirling eddy caught
Glover and he was down nearly two
minutes. His life belts saved him
Graham by this time had gained on
Glover, and when the two men
reached the end of the rapids jus,
above the suspension bridge al
Lewiston there was but little dis
tapce between them. Swimming in
the swift, smooth current was hard
for Graham, but evidently easy for
Glover. At 4.28 O'Clock Glover was
pulled up on the dock at Lewiston.
He was dressed and about fifteen
minutes later telling his story.
Graham was taken to hotel in a
wagon and did not leave his bed
until late in the afternoon. Neither
of the men was injured.

Peace Conference Is Soon to Begin.

Washington, July 24.--The expectation
hero is that the Russian-Japapese peace
conference will begin In about ten days
from this date. Baron Komurs, the prin-
Opal Japanese plenipotentiary, will be
East in a few days, having arrived at
Seattle with his party. Kogoro Takahira,
the other plenipoten tiary of Japan, is
the Japanese minister here, and is already
on the ground.
Baron Rosen, the second of the Russian
plenipotentiaries, is now in this country
at Manchester-by-t Sea, ready to take
up the work at any time, while NJ. Witte,
the leading plenipotentiary, is now fixing
to leave Russia for the United States.
He is expected to land in New York
about the last of this month. About
tho I'd or Sd of August the full Russian
and Japanese delegations, consisting of
various attaches, are to call on President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay and then sail at
once for Portsmouth to begin their du-
ties.
The conference will open by Japan
sbuffiing the cards and dealing. Russia
will look at the cards and determine
whether she can afford to 60 on with the
game. That is, In figurative sense, pre-.
cisely what will happen, and good
poker player will take special interest in
the discards, draws, antes, etc. Accord.
ing to the rules of the game Japan will
propose the basic terms upon which she
will make peace. The Russian plenipo-
tentiaries know how far they are justi-
fed, under their instructions, in going,
and 1t will be up to them to say whether
they can afford to continue the negotia.
tions. If they do continue it will be a
foxy game from then on.
The Japanese do not believe the Rus
slams are sincere, but the selection of
both Rosen and Witte, men liked by the
Japanese, is considered an indication of
the good intentions of Russia. The
Japanese look upon the whole thing as a
play for time aud believe the Russians
will prolong the conference in the hope
that the Russian army will gain great
victory over the Japanese.
