TilIman Presents Flag to Clemson.
One of the most brilliant military
displays ever seen at Clemson Col
lege, the home of John C. Calhoun,
was witnessed there a few days ago,
when Senator Tillman presented, on
behalf of the board of trustees the
state flag of South Carolina to the
corps of Clemson cadets. The staff,
which was presented to the cadets
by Thomas G. White Of Beaufort,
through his grandson, William P.
White, who is senior at the col
lege, was sawed out of the heart Of
a palmetto tree, cut upon one Of the
sea islands adjacent to Beaufort, and
bears an appropriate inscription.

THE THUNDER6R'S ENGLISH.
Iron-clad Rules About style Laid DOWN.
by the London Times.

by the London Times.
The fol'o"ing are interesting e1-
| amples of the iron-clad rules laid down
by the London Times in it's handbook
setting forth its code Of customs gov
erning the grammar, spelling, punctu-
alton, capitalization anc phrasing to
be used by its writers.
The reporter for the Thunderer Is
never allowed to say under the cir
cumstances." According to the Times,
lin the circumstances" IS the phrase
to be used.
An ordinary sentence written by an
amateur newspaper man would prob
ably be ruthlessly blue-penciled by a
Times sub-editor. The reporter might,
perhaps, write something like this:
"Witness commenced by saying he
had met deceased previous to going to
Perkins,
This is not a good sentence, but 1t
would pass muster in most quarters.
A Times sub-editor, however, would
nearly faint at the sight Of it, for,
from his point Of view, it contains no
fewer than seven errors.
To begin with, the Times never re-
fers to Witness" but to "the witness" d"
Secondly, it never uses the word "com'
mence," but always "begin." by
saying he had" suggests an omission
the word that" Deceased" is on
the Times blacklist, and if reference
is made to a person who has died. he
is always mentioned as "the late Mr..
Blank" From the standpoint OF the
Times, "previous to" is wrong. On
the Times, it must either be "previous-
ly to" or simply before" Further.
more, "to going' is colloquial, and, as
such, will not do. The reporter must
say Ito his going" Finally, Perkins "
would not be printed, as in using the
possessive of word ending in "s'' the
Times always ACIDS another "s"-thus:
"Perkins's."
When the sentence under considera.
ton appeared in type it would read:
"The witness began by saying that
he had met the late Mr.. Blank pre-
viously to his going to Perkins's."
The word applause" as frequently
used in reports Of speeches at pub
lie meeting, is tabooed by the Times,
which always employs the word
'cheers." Another popularity Of the
Times parliamentary reports is in the
use of the first and third person. An
ordinary speech by private member
or a lesser minister will be reported
in the third person, thus: "Mr. Smith
said that he had listened to the honor
able member" etc. Had Mr.. Balfour,
Mr.. Chamberlain or Lord Lansdowne
been speaking, the report would be
given in the first person.
In writing Of a blue-book, most
British newspapers begin both words
with capital letter. The Times CAPT
talizes "Blue" alone. To illustrate its
peculiarities Of spelling, "parsimony"
is, according to the Times, "par.
cimony." The use Of the word I," ex.
cept as uttered by specified person, is
biack-listed, and a Times critic must
always write in an "impersonal" fash

Suicide Left Money Buried?

It is reported that James Sherbert,
who committed suicide at his home at
Arlington, near Spartanbu-g. had ST.
900 buried in the vicinity of his home,
but it is improbable that neither his
wife nor any of the other members
of the family know where the snug
sum is hidden away.
Mr.. Sherbert was a hard-working
and economical farmer, and it is be-
lieved he had at least the amount
named in cash, with which to pur-
chase additional land. One of his pc.
culiar aversions was the distrust OF
banks.

Wawoma. California. July g.
Five of the large Yosemite Stages
were held UP yesterday afternoon by
a lone highwayman, who obtained n
considerable amount of money and
jewellery from the passengers. The
conveyances were halted in rapid
succession at a curve in the road
near Advance. at the identical spot
where a lone bandit relieved several
tourists of their valuables.
The stages were travelling sutiic-
iently far apart to avoid each others
dust and when the first vehicle reach

pletely hidden by a duster thrown
over his head. stepped out, pointed
gun at the driver and commanded
him to halt
Some of the women passengers
screamed, but others began without
delay to secrete their valuables. The
highwayman directed all passengers
to throw up their hands and throw
out their money and jewelry. and
when the order met with compliance,
directed the driver to move on ahead.

minutes and the driver and passen-
gers suffered a similar experience.
The process was repeated until all of
the five had been halted and robbed,

TWO RuNAwAYs THIS MORNING.

Two runaways created more ex-
citement on Main street this morning
than any other happening. About
ten O'Clock a horse attached to n
buggy, with no driver, went up Main
street at swift rate and turned into
Second street. He was stopped after
running north several blocks. No
serious damage was done.
Just before noon well known
travelling man was coming up Main
street from the west when the hors-
es he was driving became frightened
at an engine and started to run. They
came on toward the business sec
tion of the city at a terrific rate and
tore down Main street creating a
great big lot of excitement. The
team turned into Fifth street and
reaching the barn of Barton & Platt
the horses came to a standstill. In
the wild flight the top of the buggy
was torn off and the seat demolished,
and the travelling man sustained a
few scratches in the face. There
was no further damage.
The team belonged to Barton and
Platt. Taking into consideration the
long run they made through the
business section 1t is n wonderful oc-
currence that collisions with other

by N. Il. Coles and Others
An Interesting
Struggle.

Another case in which the owners
of a building desire to eject their
present tenants came to light today
when it was learned that Attorney n.
f. Coles, part owner in the brick
block on the corner of Fourth street
and Colorado avenue known as the
"Steel Block" had served two notices
on Mr.. A. o. Arnold, proprietor of
the Senate Restaurant and rooming
house. commanding him to va
cate the building.
However, Mr. Arnold does not see
the matter in the same light as does
Mr.. Coles and he refuses to move, He
has engaged the services of attor-
ney Fry and the matter will probab-
ly be fought out in court.
There are some interesting feat
ures in this contest that will prob
ably be brought out in court.
Mr. Arnold states that Mr.. Steel
erected the block with the under
standing that Mr.. Arnold was to oc-
cupy the larger part of It with his
restaurant and rooming house. Mr..
Arnold has given out the statment
that Mr.. Steel agreea to lease him
the building for period of five years.
Mr. Steel drew up the lease and left
1t for Mr.. Arnold to look over before
signing up and then went to Pueblo
expecting to return in few days
but he never returned alive, dying
while in Pueblo. Consequently the
lease was never signed. However as
the lease was drawn up by Mr.. Steele
himself and 1t being generally known
that he expected to rent the proper
ty to Mr.. Arnold his heirs followed
out the provisions of the lease and
Mr.. Arnold had undisputed posses

iates have some other tenant in view
and now want Mr.. Arnold to vacate.

that Mr.. Arnold is only renting from |
month to month and must give pos

Mr. Arnold has paid no attention
ot the notices as far as complying /
with their demands and believes that
the possession of the building is his
as long as he pays the rent and until
the five year lease expires. Mr.. Ar
mold conducts one of the most pros

TO HAVE FINE CHURCH.
Large Sum Raised at Palisade Yestcr'
day Toward $4,000 Methodist
Church.

Palisades is to have one of the fin
est Methodist churches in this section
of the state, and the frst step toward
raising the required building fund
was taken at Palisade yesterday with
Chancellor Henry NJ. Buchtel of the
Denver University in charge.
Some time ago The Sentinel an
nounced that it was the intention of
the Methodist congregation in the
little city up the valley to erect a
handsome new edifice in the near fp-
ture. The plans have fully matured
and building operations will start
soon.
Yesterday morning one of the larg-
est and most important services held
at Palisade in a long time was con-
Quoted by Chancellor Buchtel and an
nouncements as to the building of a
new church were made. Subbscrip-
tions were then asked for and within
a remarkably short time about $4.-
600 had been subscribed.
Several of the subscriptions were
for $500 each, made by prominent
fruit men of that section.
1t is planned to erect a church to
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
and It is not believed that much
trouble will be encountered in secur-
ing subscriptions for this amount.
A beautiful church, modern in all
its appointments, and of large seat
ing capacity will be erected. Con
tracts will probably be let in a short
time.
Chancellor Buchtel delivered a lee
ture at Palisade Saturday night and
preached two powerful sermons there
yesterday morning and evening.
The Palisade Methodist church has
a strong and rapidly growing men,
bership, and needs a larger and bet
ter edifice.

BODY Is FOUND.
Remains of Indian Boy Discovered
by Fishermen on Barge Below
the City.-Drowned Four
Weeks Ago.

Yesterday afternoon ]. A. Winnie
and another man were fishing in the
Grand river when Mr.. Winnie's at
tention was attracted by peculiar
odor. The two men thought they
would make Investigations and ran
their boat along the banks for
short distance and then rowed over
to sand bar in the middle of the
river, near the old ice house, about
a mile below town. There they found
a human body, partially buried by the
sand and in badly decomposed con-
dition.
Mr.. Winnie at once had the coro-
ner notified and on his arrival took
him over to the bar. The coroner
was accompanied by the brother of
theIndian boy who lost his life while
swimming in the Grand river near
the Indian school on June 18th. The
head was completely buried in the
sand and much sand had to be re-
moved before the features could be
viewed. The young Indian after look
ing at the teeth and viewing the fea-
lures identified the remains as those
of his brother, Frank Ennis.
The Indian school was notified and
the body was on yesterday afternoon
removed to the Indian school and in
tered in the cemetery at the school.
1t will be remembered that search
ing parties worked diligently for
several days following the drowning
of the boy in an effort to find the
body but without avail. The body
had been carried down the river
about four miles and evidently was
washed on the bar along with a lot
of driftwood. Mr.. Winnie stated that
the body had evidently been on the
g. rff,fr To ha 10 at
that it was nearly buried in the
sand, one arm and one side of the
body was all that was visible when
Winnie and his companion approach
ed in the boat.
Frank EMS was about sixteen years
of age and a pupil of the Indian
school.
