Couldn't Get Away From It.

A CLINT Of sadness and resentment
was in the new reporters eye as he
came in and pumped himself wearily
into his chair. Presently ne coughed
apologetically and gave up few low
voice condolences to the man at the
adjoining desk.
"All my life," he said they have
been making me go to church. Even
at college it was compulsory attend
ance at chapel, and I came into this
business with something of a glow Of
hope that there would be let-up in
the restrictions and requirements Of
the stained glass kind that had hith-
erto hedged in my young life. Not
that I am irreligious or dislike church
going, but ] like to choose my own
time and place for those things. I had
an idea that the life Of a newspaper
man consisted Of merry whirl Of
fires, murders and social functions,
but I guess had the wrong idea.
Gosh! This first week has taken me
to two sermons, a missionary meeting
a Christian Endeavor social, one fun
eral and two houses Of mourning af-
ter obituaries Now I've just got back
from joyful jaunt Of some miles out
into the country where they were

1t was a festival Of prayer and song
in commemoration Of the first ami
versary Of the conversion Of Shang
Bailey believe that was the name.
Anyway, the occasion was worth
celebration, for he was the biggest
man ever saw in all my life, and I've
been as far West as Keckuk. And
among all the other things they pray
ed for the reporter, that he might do
a good job in writing up the account
Of the doings, and then they prayed
for the city editor, that he might write.
It's up to the boss now, for I'm going
to put a gilt edge on this story that
will prove that was listening to my
personal end Of that exhortation and
responded to the call Of duty. But
wish that some active duty Of a dif-
serent sort would come my way for a
change. I've had my work tinctured
with too much solemnity so far.

When Old Hornigold had looked up
he had seen speck in the vaulted
heaven. 1t was slowly soaring around
and around in vast circles and with
each circle coming nearer and nearer
to the ground. A pair Of keen and
powerful eyes were aloft there pierc-
ing the distance, looking, searching III
every direction until at last their
glance fell upon the figure upon the
rock. The circling stopped. There was
a swift rush through the air. A black
feathered body passed between the
buecaneer and the sun, and a mighty
vulture, hideous bird Of the tropics,
alighted on the sands near by him.
So this was the judgment Of God
upon this man! For a second his tor
tured heart stopped it's beating He
stared at the unclean thing, and then
he shrank back against the rock aid
screamed with frantic terror. The bird
moved heavily back little distance
and stopped, peering at him. He could
see it by turning his head. he could
drive It no farther. In another mo-
ment there was another rush through
the air, another, another! He scream
ed again Still they came until it seem
ed as If the earth and the heavens were
black with the horrible birds. High in
the air they had seen the first one
swooping to the earth and with unerr-
ing instinct, as was their habit, had
turned and made for the point from
which the first had dropped downward
to the shore.
They circled themselves about him.
They sat upon the rock above him.
They stared at him with their lustful,
carrion, jeweled eyes out Of their
loathsome, .featherless, naked heads,
drawing nearer, nearer, nearer. BE
could do no more. His voice was gone.
His strength was gone. He closed his
eyes, but the sight was still before
him. His bleeding, foamy lips mum
bled one unavailing word:
"Hornigold"'
From the copse there came no sound,
IL
chains, his head upon his breast, con-
vulsive shudders alone proclaiming
faltering life. He'll had no terror like
to this which he, living, suffered.
There was a weight upon his shoul-
der now. Fierce talons sank deep into
his quivering flesh. In front Of his
face, before a pair Of lidless eyes that
glowed like fire, hellish, cruel beak
struck at him. A faint, low, ghastly
cry trembled through the still air.
And the resistiess tide came in. a
man drove away the birds at last be-
fore they had quite taken all, for the
torn arms still hung in the iron fet-
ters-an old man, blind Of one eye, the
black patch torn of the hideous hole
that had replaced the socket. He

capered with the nimbleness Of youth
before the ghastly remains Of hu-
manity still fastened to that rock. He
shouted dnd screamed and laughed
and sang. The sight had been too
horrible even for him. He was mad,
crazy; his mind was gone. BE had his
revenge, and it had eaten him up.
The waters dashed about his feet
and seemed to awaken some new idea
in his disordered brain.
"What!v he cried "The tide Is up! Up

He waded out into the water, slowly
going deeper and deeper. A wave
swept him off his feet. A hideous
laugh came floating back over the sea,
and then he struck out and out and
out
And so the judgment Of God was
visited upon Sir Henry Morgan and his
men at last, and as it was writ Of old:
With what measure they had meted
out. it had been measured back to them

make some purchases today, but the
situation is somewhat changed by de-

corporations doing business with the
dispensary, which you suspect Of ir-
regular or improper dealings with the
dispensary, and which have not been
reported to the chairman of your COM
mittee, I am very respectfully,
M. H. Mobley, Clerk.
The Preamble and Resolution.
In view Of the fact that since the
board addressed a letter to Senator
Hay asking him to give the names Of
any liquor house or other concerns
who were under the suspicion of the
dispensary investigating committee
and having received his reply in the
negative, and it having happened that
Senator Christensen and Representa-
tive Lyon have just returned from
the North after examining certain
creditors Of the dispensary, and being
informed that Senator Christensen and
Representative Lyon have not had
time to consult with Chairman Hay
since their return.
Be it resolved, therefore, That the
clerk address a. letter to Senator Chris
tensen and Representative Lyon ask
ing them to give the names Of any
concerns, persons or corporations do.
ing business with the dispensary,
which they suspect Of irregular OR i'm
proper dealing with the dispensary,
and which have not been reported to
the chairman.
Columbia, S. c., March /, 1906.
Messrs. Rawlinson, Wiley and Black,
Board Of Directors S. c., Dispensary,
Columbia, S. G.
Gentlemen: Responding to your
letter Of even date viii say that while
we have not evidence in the case OF
each Of the concerns mentioned below
that would establish the fact that they
have been dealing improperly or in an
irregular manner with the dispensary,
still we will say that we suspect that
the firms hereinafter mentioned may
at some future hearing be shown to
have been guilty of some irregular
dealings herewith.
We think that the evidence brought
out at a recent public session of our
committee shows conclusively that the
Carolina Glass Company and the c.
L. Flacus Glass Company have been
guilty of grave irregularities in their
transactions with the dispensary.
In addition to the glass companies
above mentioned and the Nivison-
Weiskepf Company, the irregularities
of which were called to your attention
in Chairman Hays communication,
we think you would under the terms
of your resolutions be justified in dis
continuing business for the present
with the following houses or firms:

Philadelphia; Jack Cranston Compa-
ny, Augusta; Fleischman & Co., Gin

THREE MEN KILLED
SEVERAL OTHER PERSONS Are
WOUNDED DURING A RIOT
AT WINDBER, PA.

Johnstown, Pa, April 17.-After
weeks Of anxiety the situation brought
about by the controversy of the coal
miners with the operators eliminated
during the night in a riot at Windber,
near this city, which finally ended in
bloodshed Three are dead and mum.
Der are injured and throughout the
night the town was patrolled by armed
guards. The shooting was brought on
by an assault upon the Jail made by
striking miners, who attempted to res
cue comrades who had been placed
under arrest. The riot occurred in the
early hours Of the night and continued
for several hours, working the resi-
dents to such a pitch that the night
was one of terror.
The dead are principally foreigners
and were miners who were out on
strike. They are Pietro Martini, An
tonic Mazuca and Paul Ellis, who was
the leader OF the mob. Curtis Kester,
ten years old, bystander, was shot
through the bowels. His condition is
serious and he will probably die. When
the deputies fired on the mob they
fed, leaving three OF their number on
the ground dead, and, the strikers re-
fusing to permit the undertakers TO
remove the bodies, the latter remained
where they fell until morning.

SAYS an English correspondent: al
though Denmark is particularly rich in
the number Of her royal palaces. her
parliament has just passed bin vot-
ing fhe necessary funds for herebuild-
ing of Christianborg, the largest of
them all, which was destroyed the last
time by fire in 1884. On several oc-
cassions steps have been taken since
that time by the government TO recon-
struct the palace. But, owing to the
constitutional conflict which reigned
I'm Denmark throughout the greater
part Of the reign of King Christian,
arising from his refusal to select his
ministerial advisers from the political
party that had majority in parlia-
ment, it was found impossible TO Sc
cure the necessary funds for the pur-

the largest and most magnificent build.

from the year 116S, and although it
has been on several occasions partial

of the eighteenth century in 1874 and
again in 1SS4-yet parts of the former
buildings still exist. The days of the
greatest glory of the Christianborg
palace were undoubtedly in the

colossal bronze statues by Thorwald

resenting "Alexander's entry into
Babylon" adorned the great banqueting

sition that the $21 100000 estate be

Der by Voliva and the ninth by these
eight. 1t was stipulated that both
Dowie and Voliva should be active

BOTH VESSELS GO DOWN.
Steamers Saxona and Eugene thinner
man in Collision in 500 Passage.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, April H.
The most disastrous marine collision
in many years in the 500 passage oc-
Cured during the day when the steel
steamers Saxona and Eugene thinner
man came together at the foot OF the
dyke. The Saxona was just making
the turn at that point when she col.
lided with the Zimmerman, striking
the latter twenty feet back of the bow
on the port side, crushing through the
steel sides as far as the pilothousa
and twisting the stem badly.
The Zimmerman sank at once in
twenty feet of water on the Canadian
side of the river. The crew are safe.
The Saxona continued on down the
river as far as Little Mud lake, where
she filed and sank on the west side
Of the river. Before going TO the bot
tom the Saxona swung around and
now lies with her bow pointing up
stream. The channel is not blocked
by the accident. The Saxona was
bound down from Duluth with valu-
able cargo Of faXseed. The thinner
man was taking a load of coal to Lake
Superior.
Both steamers are among the high

More Than a Hundred Dead as Result
OF Formosa Disaster.
Toxic, April 1G.--One hundred and
nine persons are said to have been
killed and nineteen injured in the
earthquake in the southern part of the
island Of Formosa. Further details,
1t is expected, viii swell the death roll
as the shock was more severe than
that of March II.
Later reports received from For
mosa confirm the earlier rumors of the
complete destruction of Kagi, where
seven persons were killed and thirty
five injured.
At Dalgo 400 buildings were de-
stroyed and at Ajensui 1.191 buildings
collapsed and 749 were damaged.
Three persons we're killed and fifteen
injured there.
These later adyices say that this
shock was more powerful than that Of
March II, but as the people had been
warned they were able to escape.
