Ihe Eirst Act Of . Traaedx,

You are sitting alone. Suddenly
you instinctively feel a sensation Of
horror of some evil influence that is
present, but as vet unseen. You
lift your eyes. You behold, gliding
over the carpet toward you without
noise, apparently without the trou-
bic of walking, a mouse. It stops.
1t fascinates you. You feel your
blood freeze and your limbs slowly
paralyze. Your heart stops beating.
Your breath ceases. 4 cold chill
ereeOs over You.-Londen Woman.

PAINT STEAMERS EACH TRIP
Average Liner Receives New Ex-
terror About Dozen Times
a Year.

1.-The man who lives in his own castle
years thinks he has done all that is nee
essary in that particular for the upkeep
of appearance, said +. NJ. Passow the
popular commander of the American
liner St Paul in conversation with
New York Globe man. 1T is not so, he
continued, with an ocean liner like the
St. Paul, for instance. Each Atlantic
passenger steamer makes on an average
a dozen round trips year, and that
means that their eXteriors are entirely
reprinted an equal number of times.
The interior is painted only when the
vessel is given complete overhauling,
which is usually once every year. Now,
when you consider the size of the mod
ern liner, which from water line to rail.
and including the outwork of deck,
cabin and tunnels, represents an area
of about two and a half acres, you can
realize to some extent the amount OF
work entailed in painting. Thousands
of gallons of paint and some so or go
men are required for recoating the yes
sells exterior every week, and yet il is
only one of the minor expenses in the
upkeep of big steamship. OF course,
the painting is absolutely necessary to
prevent corrosion OF the iron work by
the salt water and also for appear
auccs sake Then, too, the soft coal
used in the furnaces eats very quickly
into the white paint used on the deck
work and destroys its whitcness. Few,
perhaps, are aware that most all the
painting of the large Atlantic vessels is
done on this side. The reason for tha'
is because there are a great many NOR
fair days in the United States than in
England or the continental ports.

Honor Of Lincoln.

New York, Feb. 13.-As the guest
of honor at the Lincoln dinner OF the
Republican Club, in the city tonight,
President Roosevelt made a speech
on the race problem. He appealed to
the North to make its friendship for
the South all the greater because ct
the embarrassment OF conditions for
which size is not alone responsible, )"
declared that the heartiest acknowl-
edoments are due to the ministers, law
officers, grand juries, public men and
"great daily newspapers IN the South
who have recently done such effective
work in leading the crusade against
lynching,'' and said that the problem
was to $50 adjust the relations be-
tween the two races of different ethnic
type, that the backward race be
trained so that it may enter into the
possession of true freedom, while TIE
forward race is enabled to preserve
unharmed the high civilization
wrought out by it's forefathers. -
Following the President, Senator
Dolliver, of Iowa, responded to the
toast, "Abraham Lincoln;;" George
A. knight, of California, spoke on
,"The Republican Party" and James

Additional Details of the Tragedy
Near Ridgeville-Mrs. Biyens Used

Snecial to The State.

Special to The State.
Ridgeville, Feb. 13.-Near Givhans
ferry, which is seven miles south OF
Ridgeville, about the 4th of February,
Mrs. John D. Bivens, wife Of State
Senator Bivens, had W. Greenhurg,
a Jew peddler, who stopped at Mrs.
Biyens' when in the neighborhood,
arrested charging him with having
threatened her life after having made
improper proposals to her. At the
time she was forced to leave her home
and seek protection at q neighbor' S
house. This charge was dropped up
on Greenburg promising to leave the
neiehborhood and not return. On the
evening of the 10th Of February
Grsenburg returned to Mrs. Bivens'.
About 3 O'Clock the following morn
ing, Mrs. Bivens sent for her neighbor
Mr.. Platt, to come to her home.
On his arrival she told him that
Greenburg had attempted to criminal
ly assault her. Mr. Piatt, leaving
Mrs. Bivens and Greenburg III the
house, went to Mr. R. NJ. Limehouse,
a neighbor who lives about two miles

through the back door. On entering
the house Mrs. Bivens told them that
Greenburg had run into the shed
room. They found the door locked.
Mrs Bivens brought a hatchet and
they forced the door open and found
Greenburg in the room sitting on
box with his HANDS in his pockets:
When asked why he mad returned
there he said Mrs. Bivens had sent
for him. At that moment Mrs.
Biyeus entered the room and fred up
on Greenburg with Mr. Platt's single
barrel breechloading gun, the shot
taking effect in the neck, Just below
the chin, causing instant death.
Mrs. Bivens then said, "God knows

10 GUST WILLIAMS as LEADER.
Minority in Congress Not Taking
Kindly to Mississippian's Rule.

John Sharp Williams's days as the
leader OF the Democrats In the house
of representatives are believed to be
numbered. He probably viii not serve
in that place beyond the life OF the
present congress. He is out OF touch
with MS party associates On the rail
way rate question, and today be had a
sharp passage of arms with Represent
atiFe Hay, Of Virginia, over the ghost
of Jefferson Davis, emerging from the
fray discounted aud sore at heart.
The decline of Williams as leader
began at the Democratic convention in
st. Louis last July. His keynote
spe ech as temporary chairman of the
convention, which was intended as a
reply to the address of Ellhu Root de-
liyered at Chicago the week previous,
was fat failure.
lNr. Williams announced some time
ago that President Roosevelt bad
stolen Democratic thunder in his in
ter-s state commerce propaganda, and
that be was ready to support the pres
iGspt's policy on the ground that it
YVES good Democratic policy. Now
he expresses opposition to the admins
tration rate measure reported by the
house committee on Interstate and
foreign commerce. But he is finding
little encouragement.
The Mississippi statesman's troubles
as leader began soon after the ap-
peararce in Washington last week OF
William Jennings Bryan. At that
time it was reported that Mr.. Bryan
was instructing g the Democrats on the
race question, and since then Mr.. Will
liams has found it impossible to dc
| anything with the. minority, of which
he is the nominal leader.
