Immigrant Ship Headed for Charleston.

Columbia, Dec. 27.-Commissioner
of Immigration Watson has received
a oablegram from the North German
Lloyd Office in Bremen stating that
the Wittekind will sail on its second
trip to Charleston on the 10Th of
January. The date of the ships
sailing had been uncertain until the
decision of Secretary Straus that
Commissioner Watson had not vio-
lated the immigration laws in bring.
ing in the first ship load of immi-
grants through Charleston.
The decision will be widely pub
lished throughout Europe by Com
missioner Watson's agents there and
he expects excellent results. 1t is
probable that larger number of i'm
migrants will be brought over on the
second trip than on the first trip and
that the steamship line from between
Bremen and Charleston will be made
permanent.

NEW RAILWAY SIGNALS.
Safety Device to Insure Trains
Against Collision.


On the Great Western railway Of
England some interesting experiments
in railway signaling are making
The new safey device is intended to
notify the ear, instead of the eye,
of the condition Of the track ahead. 1t
Is held that semaphores, which are the
warnings depended upon wherever the
block system is used in this country,
are unsatisfactory, being often obscur-
ed by fog, and that the strain of watch
ing for these signals is greater than
should'be imposed on the engineer Of
a locomotive.
In the new device a mechanism is
fixed in the roadbed Mt the beginning Of
each "block" Of track that gives a
whistle In the cab Of the locomotive
If the track Is clear and rings a bell IL
the block or track Is occupied. These
signals are located near the ear OF the
engineer as he stands at tho throttle
and continue sounding until stopped by
him. 1t Is held that the system affords
distinct advantage in eliminating the
confusion of lights In station and
switch yards at night, which has been
responsible for many wrecks.
If such mechanism can Se developed
to certainty Of operation ~ would seem
to be distinct advance In securing the
safety OF trains from collision.

The odors of Diseases.

Our much neglected sense of smell
can be put to Important uses. When
well developed 1t may serve In medical
diagnosis. and some English physicians
have pointed out lately that diabetes,
enteric fever, acute rheumatism, plague,
abdominal fistula. undressed cancers,
erysipelas in some cases, gangrene of
the lung. pyaemia, septic mouth, bleed
ing hemorrhoids and undressed vari-
cose ulcers are among the disorders
that emit characteristic odors and that
can be recognized by smell alone. Care
Is necessary, however, as the physician
after Influenza or the taking of alcohol
himself, may fancy his own odor to be
that of his patient.

While imam cannot live by bread

Ing food, neither can he live without
food, but his development and health
depend not on the quantity he eats, but
on the portion of that quantity which
he digests. He must digest what will
build up the ussues Of the body. give
animal heat and also muscular power.
Those foods which will do the first Of
fee are called flesh formers. and those
which furnish heat and power are call
ed heat makers. All foods contain one
cr the three requisites, ami sometimes
all. In varying proportions. says Valan-
cey e. Fuller, lecturer on sanitary milk.
New York state farmers institute.
The only complete and perfect food
is milk. In 1t are flesh formers and
heat makers in the right proportions
properly balanced. The same can be
said Of no other food. Those who have
lived on farms know that pasture Is a
perfect food for cattle, and that IL any
other food Is given them in It's place it
must be balanced by other foods. Milk
Is like pasture. 1t is a perfectly bal-
anced ration In itself, and there is no
necessity Of partaking Of any other
food unless we desire 1t. This accounts
for the fact that we can live and do a
hard days work on milk alone. for
milk contains all Of the nutritive ingre-
dlents needed for food and is thorough
ly and easily digested. The longevity
of the Hungarian mountaineers. who
live on milk and whey, Is we'll known.
A quart of good milk contains as
much digestible nutrients as are con-
tanned in one pound Of beef chuck,
one pound of fowl, one pound of veal

one-half pound Of beef ribs, one-half

Bridegroom Is Killed ior Dessr.lon.

Chicago, pac. 27.-A recent dis
patch to The Tribune from Calpep-
per, Va, says:
A few minutes after he had been
forced to marry her, while she lay in
bed weak from an operation, her
husband, Will Bywaters, was killed
by two of ber brothers. Bywaters
was shot eleven times as he tried to
escape from the girls room, in which
the marriage was performed Satur-
day night. The girl is expected to
die from the shock.
The story leading up to the trag-
edy was told by French Strothers,
third brother of the girl.

said, "because) we had reason to be-
lieve something had happened to my
sister and the name of the family.
told my sister what we suspected
and told her if it was true we would
kill the man on sight.
saturday Bywaters came out to
the house and l told him what l sus-
peoted, and that l had about proved
my suspicious correct. He protested
innocence, and l told him that / did
not believe him and that would kill
him. He then asked to be permitted
to see my sister, who was in bed suf-
fering from the results of an opera
tion that had been performed in
Washington.
81 finally let him go to her room
and they both confessed. Then he
asked to be permitted to marry her.
l told him l did not want him to
marry her. But he pleaded, prom
ising to marry her and take good
care of her.
81 finally consented to the mar
riage and told him that if he ever
deserted her or mistreated her |
would kill him. My sister also
pleaded that she be permitted to
marry him. l knew that with my
sister in the condition she was, if
killed him then and there ! might as
we'll kill her, 80 left the place."
After French Strothers left home.
Bywaters and James and Philip
Strothers, two other brothers of the
girl, came to Culpepper and got
marriage license. The Rev. j. w.
Ware, of the Episcopal church, per-
formed the ceremony.
After the marriage Bywaters said
that, having married the girl, he
thought he had done his duty, and
then announced his intention to
leave her.
Relatives of the girl demonstrated
with him and he rushed to window
leading from the room to the roof of
the porch. At this instant both
brothers of the girl drew revolvers
and fred repeatedly. The man fell
back dead, his body falling near the
girls bed.

Then she took those out, laid them

as heard it from one who was at
the funeral. And the man who told
it died twenty years ago.
"The soldier had enlisted in Geor-
gia from his home, where his father
remained undisturbed during the
struggle. The young man had
fought through the war without
scratch, save slight wound which
had left him slightly deaf. This
afiliction he had never referred.to in
any of his letters.

when he would arrive.
ellis father prepared to receive
him. Believing that his son would
come as promised, he arranged a
spread such as the conditions of his
surroundings at that time would per.
nit. - He had brought out his best
plate that had been exhumed; he
bought such delicacies and substan-
tials as the Southern market at that
time afforded.
Gas many of the old time neigh
bors as we're living in the vicinity
were invited to the home coming of
the returning soldier. The ex-Con-
federate arrived on the old planta-
tion the night before the earliest
date he had mentioned in his last
letter. 1t was late and his father
and the family had retired.
"The only creature on the old
place that seemed to be awake was
a dog. AS the soldier entered the
gate of the grounds the dog began
barking.
"The sound aroused the owner of
the manor. The country was over
run at the time with stragglers, some
of whom had not hesitated to COM
NIT burglary.
"The father of the returning boy
arose. He stood in his doorway with
his shotgun and challenged the APP
preaching stranger, as he supposed.
"The young man being deaf made
no reply, but continued. on .lhis way.
The man in the doorway raised his
gun and fired. The stranger fell
dead.
"The father summoned his family
and the few remaining servants of
the plantation. An.investigation was
held and the tragic truth was re-
vealed.
"The father, of course, was incon-
solable. He returned to his house
while the servants carried the lifeless
form of his boy to the home that had
been awaiting his coming.
"The next day the invited guests
began to arrive. The father had
given orders that the tragedy should
not be mentioned until he himself
told it.
81 do not recall what explanation
was made to the guests as to the alb
sence of him whom they were to
honor. But after the repast they
were told and they fled past the
dead.
"The body was wrapped in the
flag for which the brave young man
had fought. The community was
used to funerals. Every private
burial ground had grave made by
the unhappy war. But no funera
like this had ever taken place in the
