COLLEGE
TO HAVE POSTOFFICE.
President Daniel Will Be Postmaster
Congressman Legare Leaves
Congress to Regain Strength.
Washington, March %.

A postoffice will be established at
Columbia college to be known as
"Columbia College," DR.. w. w.
Daniel, president of that institution,
will be postmaster, so Representative
Lever, who has been interested in
this for some time, was assured today
when he called at the department. He
was told that the notice would be sent
DR.. Daniel to this effect today and
that the postoffice would be opened az
soon as the postmaster appointed
should qualify by furnishing bond.
Representative George Legare left
this afternoon for his home in Char
lesion. The state of Mr.. Legare s
health is such that he has decided,
after continued urging on the part Of
his physician and his host Of friends
here, to give up his congressional du-
ties for the remainder Of the session
and to go to the mountains in pursuit
Of strength.
After a short stay in Charleston
making preparations he will take his
family into upper South Carolina,
probably somewhere in Pickens or
Oconee, at the foot Of the mountains
to remain all summer. Before leav-
ing he was urged by his friends to
take good care Of himself so as to be
ready for the craftsmanship Of an i'm.
portant committee in the next con-
gress, which he will undoubtedly re-
celve If the democrats control tho
house.

The Court House Question.

10 the Editor Of The Herald & News:
Replying to S. in your last edition,
it does seem worth while to consider
the "financial" aspect Of the court
house location, especially when the
sum appropriated for the building
and site has been fixed at only $780,
900. The plan proposed by S. in buy
ing the Mann, McClintock, and Jones
Squares would absorb approximately
one third Of the whole appropriation
for the site alone. :...
One Of the strong points made for
the new court house was that it was
noisy in its present location,yet your
correspondent thinks that it would
be wise to return to similar condi-
tions by surrounding the building by
four streets. 1t is not customary to
do so, and it, therefore, does not ap-
pear wise. would cite you to
Greenwood, Spartanburg, and Char
lotte with their new buildings in
silent dignity facing one street. In
the older county property at Sumter,
Charleston, Columbia, Chester, Cam-
den, Yorkville, Orangeburg, ETC., it is
the exception to ever find the court
house on the corner. -: #
Charlotte and Spartanburg have as
fine county buildings as exists in this
section; in these the absence Of noise
is secondary only to the location. :
If one Of the mentioned squares
should be decided upon and the
streets widened as outlined, would
this not make the lot too small7 The
walks and flowers and trees could
not be assembled about the court
house on the square if it is to be re-
duced by widening the streets as that
would make the lot about one huns
dred and eighty feet square.
4 Gould the: two streets be legally
and morally closed, or would there be.
objection7 W.T. >S..#s g.; j>S,S@ !
~ OF course we are Tall just human
and want the court house to come
our way. There will probably be t.
good many sites offered and I feel
that the. commission will reason to-
gether on the matter to the best in
tcrest of the county and agree unani-
mously on one place; that they will
consider the increase of valuation on
other property and that they will
place the building on unimproved
property, all other things being equal.
There may be other locations Of
fered where the surrounding build
ings are not just ideal, but it has been
evident that improving property, i'm
proves the class Of it's surroundings.
The distance from the square, jail,
drainage, etc. must all be considered
and the commission must decide the
matter anyhow, so lets keep together
and pull for the best location, with
finances considered; let there be no
split to delay the matter by confus-
ing the commission in shifting pub
lie opinion blown by the wind Of self
interest. .'..'....- :'~'e T..

LONDON, May 2G.-The telephone,
now installed in so many private
houses, is likely to be turned into a
troublesome adjunct of life if the new
method Of employing it for advertise
ment and canvassing purposes be pur-
sued. The following is an illustration:
''Ring-a-ting went the bell of the
telephone in my private house at tea
time
"Ringer-Are you OOOO Kensington?
''Receiver-Yes.
"Ringer-Is Mrs. s. at home?
''Receiver-She is. Who shall 1 say
wants her?
"Ringer-I am so-and-so. dealer

''Receiver-A what?
''Ringer-A dealer in -. Kindly
tell Mrs. s. that 1 am taking this
means Of canvassing for customers.
My address is address given), and ]
am in position to offer her advan-
tageous terms.
THE servant duly reported the con-
yersation to the mistress of the house
She feels that a new terror will be
added to the telephone If this kind of
canvassing becomes popular.
THE fact that the social hour of {
O'Clock, at which hour Mrs. s. was
entertaining callers, was selected by
the dealer for her venture did not indi-
cate that she possessed finesse."

has been in Colorado looking for a site
near Denver on which to build one of
his stations.
The proposed new station will cost
about $4,000 complete. 1t will be To-
Gated, if the site chosen by Mr.. Zintheo
is approved, about twelve miles east
of Denver. The object of such a plant
is to test and experiment with as we'll
as improve on farm implements Of all
kinds.
The experiments also include impleZ
ments propelled by motive power-gas-
oline alcohol and the like. In fact, the
department has started out on an In
vestigation to manufacture a liquid
from potatoes and grain which will be
substitute for gasoline. Experiments
so far made, according to Mr.. Zintheo,
show that this new liquid has the same
qualities of combustion as gasoline and
can be produced in immense quantities
for IL 1-2 cents a gallon, whereas the
gasoline costs 25 cents gallon, being
product controlled by the Standard Oil.

CAT RAISES SIX CHICKS

Motherless Kitten Returns
Favor
Special to The Herald.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 26.-The Alton
cat which has adopted six little mother
less chickens has created such wide
spread curiosity that menagerie man.
ayers are offering liberal prices for the
privilege of exhibiting the queer little
family. The owner, Mrs. Mary Osborn
of 81 Missouri avenue, Alton, refuses
even to consider the most tempting
price.
According to the story of Mrs. Os-
born the cat is 8 years old, and when
it was a little kitten, its mother hav-
ing died, the scrawny little orphan was
adopted by good-natured old hen,
who permitted the motherless little kit
ten to cuddle close to her with the
little chicks.
Since that time" says Mrs. Osborn,
"the cat has always lived with the
chickens and a week ago. when she
caught an old hen away from her nest,
where all the eggs had not been
Matched, she Immediately adopted the
five little chickens already hatched, and
kept the nest warm herself two days
until one more of the eggs hatched
"Then with her little family of six,
she left the chicken yard and led her
brood to the house, where she would
permit no one to touch them. If the
cornmeal which I feed them becomes
hardened the cat breaks it with her
claws into little pieces so they can
eat it.
cat night have a basket behind the
stove, in which she curls up, and the
chicks cuddle up close around and un-
der her. She is very devoted and affec-
tionate toward them, and cares for
the chickens as if they were her own
kittens"

Special to The Herald.

Speclal TO The Herald.
OMAHA, Neb., May 26-As disci-
pie of Pat Grove, Ida Terrell, not
acknowledgements young woman,
has proved herself eminently success
full in her first experiences. She Is now
behind the bars at the city jail, charged
with robbery. Her boldest and most
profitable exploit was pulled off last
night.
John H. Routson, an insurance COL
lector for one of the big industrial in
surance companies, was passing down
the street on which Miss Terrell lives,
when she intimated to him that she
would like to have him write her ap-
plication for a policy. Routson entered
the house to talk the matter over, and
ask the necessary questions, and when
he had become well warmed up to his
subject the woman pulled a revolver,
thrust it in his face and demanded that
he turn over to her his leather wallet,
containing the money he had collected
during the day on his rounds. The
purse contained 1888, but Routson
handed it over and left the house to
report the matter to the police.
When the detectives reached the
house to make the arrest they found
the young woman in the act of playing
the same game on another collector, a
man named Watson. She has been
placed under heavy bonds for trial in
few days.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, May 26.-King Edward has
become so heavy that DIR. Treves was
much put about as to what to do in
order to keep his flesh down, and so
ordered the king to take riding exercise,
weather permitting.
Most every morning the monarch tel
ephones over to Marlborough house,
and he and the prince of Wales go for
an early ride joining what is known
familiarly as the oliver brigade"-in
other words, a considerable number of
aged and dried-up looking beings
whose livers have become deranged in
India or elsewhere and who take a ride
before breakfast, thus shaking them
selves up. Among such crowd of
drawn, yellow-skinned health seekers
the king looks the picture of health.
Indeed today his only serious trouble
is a superabundance of health, which
leads rapidly to flesh forming.
Edward laughs and grows fat.
Wherever he goes, to a race meeting
or public gathering of any kind, you
are sure to hear constantly and almost
continuously that particular laugh of
his which comes out of the left side of
his mouth and sounds like a prolonged
chuckle-or chortle, to use Lancashire
expression.

SANTA ANA, May 26.--Acting on
orders delivered by the state or city
authorities, committee last night set
fire TO the Chinese settlement occupy
ing a half block here
The houses were mere shacks and the
financial loss is insignificant, while the
cleaning process does much to allay
public feeling since the discovery of a
leprous Chinese.
While eight men set fire to the shacks
citizens formed Gordon to see that
not an article which might carry con-
tagion was removed from the shacks.
The four houses and sheds and the
vegetable garden where the leper
worked were demolished, burned and
uprooted, reddening the sky and
bringing ranchers in from the outskirts
attracted by the glare.
Dogs, cats, rats and chickens were
quickly dispatched with clubs and
thrown back into the flames
Meanwhile the half dozen Chinese
were given new clothes and quarters
I'm tents, pitched in City Hall square,
where they can be watched IL white
patches should appear on their skin.
The leper came from Tustin, near
by city, about six weeks ago.
So quickly have the authorities acted
that all fears have been calmed, though
special vigilance will be exercised over
all Chinese or those who may have
been exposed to contagion.

PLUNGER WINS AFTER JOKE
Bogus Note Exchanged at Monte Carlo
Proves Lucky, Victim Is Paci-
fled and All Ends Well
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, May 2e.-Having lost every
cent of his ready money at the gaming
tables, an English visitor at Monte
Carlo wired pathetic appeal for help
to a friend in England. Two days
later he received a letter, addressed
in the friends handwriting, which on
being opened revealed a five pound
note.
Without pausing to read the letter,
the plunger hastened to Ciros, the
famous restaurant in the Galerie
Charles III, and changed his FLYER"
into French money. From Ciro's he
went straight into the Casino, where,
experiencing an extraordinary run of
luck, he not merely retrieved all his
previous losses but gained a substan-
tial increase in the bargain.
Weary of play he retired with a few
cronies to Ciro's again to celebrate the
occasion. The usually genial M. Giro
met him at the door of his establish
ment with a flood of reproaches and
upbraidings The five pound note was
bad! He waved it angrily in the
plunger's face-mais oui, it was false,
this five pound note!
The plunger took the guilty FLYER
and scrutinized 1t carefully. 1t was
one of the sham bank notes issued by
the late Sir Augustus Harris, and bear
ing on their face an advertisement of
the Drury Lane pantomime The Eng
lish friend, himself as broke" as the
plunger, had posted him the fagrantly
worthless note as a joke-a joke which,
had the plunger taken the trouble to
examine the "fiver'' or read it's cover
ing letter, he would have seen only too
clearly himself. 1t was fortunate that
he did not do so. He merely paid Giro
his five pounds, and, inviting the paci-
fed restaurateur to share in the cham
pagne pretended that the whole affair
was an Intentional witticism.

PIERRE, S. D., May 26.-The action
of the Missouri River Stock Growers
association at it's annual meeting this
year marks the end of the roundup
and the range. The business of this
for the roundup, the fixing of the
boundaries of the territory to be
worked by each outfit and the selection
of the foremen to take charge. But
this year about the only business trans
acted was to decide to hold no round
up.
New settlers have closely occupied
the territory which would have to be
worked and have dotted 1t over with
gardens and small patches of grain,
making it impossible to handle large
punches Of cattle without damage. So
the roundup is to be no more.
The Butte county country will be
worked for few years yet, but not
long. The picturesque feature of west
