The Blind Man and coiors

I asked the blind man who for many
years has sold pencils at the foot of

mentioned?" "a person blind from
birth as I have been can have no
proper conception of color" was the
reply. ITO me color is sound or rather
music. When I hear the word red, for
example, / instantly think of a high,
piercing note of music; blue to me is a
delicately sounded note, fairly high and
pleasing in tone green is a soft tone
and rather low, quiet and restful while
yellow is lively, quick little notes rap
idly sounding and causing pleasure, al
most to laughter. Black, alas! is the
only color we can realize, for we are
told that is the absence of light, and

Street Car Ventilation

New York is probably the only city in
the east that has successfully solved the
problem of street car ventilation, and,
as might have been anticipated, it is by
the simplest method imaginable. It's
detail of life so small, perhaps, that
New Yorkers themselves seldom notice
it and would be surprised that it is
worth while commenting upon. To the
man who has been accustomed to riding
on the street cars of Chicago or ST.
Louis, however, it is one of the most
agreeable surprises of the metropolis
and naturally fills him with some
amazement that it is not adopted by
the roads operating in those towns. In
the western towns some of the street
cars are simply denominations, particu-
larly during rush hours, because of the
lack of fresh air, which is generally
supplied by the ingress or egress of
passengers through the doors. The
trouble in the western towns is that

Entered Woman's Bed Room.

Kingstree, June 2s.-Monday
morning about 4 O'Clock a negro
man entered the bed room of Mrs.
w. f. Kennedy and her two daugh-
ters and took hold of the foot of one
of the young ladies, who made an
outory, causing the negro to fly. He
was not recognized and there was no
clue to the miscreant, but suspicion
was directed to the trestle gang at
work upon Black River Bridge, and
when the valise of Antrum Cannon
was searched, tie bearing the name
of James Vause, who was sleeping
in the Kennedy house, and a hand
kerchief marked with the name of
one of the daughters, were found.
When two or three men approached
Cannon for the purpose of arresting
him he preoipitately fled into Black
river swamp, where he is still sup
posed to be hiding. A searching
party of some fifty men failed to find
any trace of him.
The negro is tall black man and
his home is in Charleston. The
ladies are highly respected, and the
event has caused good deal of ex-
element, and if the fellow is caught
it may 60 hard with him unless he is
very quickly gotten behind the bars.
The search is still being kept up, and
the man will probably be caught in
the next "a hours.
Every train was searched last
night, and when the $50 train came
in a tramp negro, riding on the COW
catcher, jumped off as the train came
to stop. He was at once seen by
the watchers, who mistook him for
the man they we're hunting, and
called on him to surrender. The
negro ran and some three or four
shots were fired at him, one taking
effect in the fleshy part of one leg,
bringing him down. 1t was soon
found that the negro was the wrong
party and he was released to-day.
His wound is trifling one.

South Carolina First at James!own Show.

Norfolk, Va, June 27.-Plucky
South Carolina, with her magnificent
exhibit of varied products of field
and factory, easily carried off the
first honors in the celebration of
State exhibits at the jamestown ex-

the South Carolina exhibit and booth
was surrounded by mass of hu-
'manity, drawn there not only by the
beautiful picture of what South
Carolina grows and makes, but by
the tea party served by Superinten-
dent Paul Moore, assisted by Miss
Amelia Pride Beckham, of Rock

Columbia. Miss Maree and Miss
Beckham poured the tea, made from
the leaf grown in the Palmetto

and Miss Lula Martin, of Norfolk,
dressed as Japanese tea girls, served
it. Over 1,500 cups of tea were
served to the crowd.

WILLIAMS HELD WITHOUT BAIL
EXTREME PENALTY FoH CRIME CHARGED
AGAINST HlM IS DEATH.

San Antonio, Tex, June 26.--Ru-
fus f. Williams, of Columbia, s. c.,
is still in Jail here and is held with
out bail. The charge formerly made
against him is one of the most serious
under the Texas Statutes, that of
"highway robbery with firearms"
the extreme penalty for which is
death. as
Williams made complete confes.
sion of the robbery of Mrs. Gibson,
on the day of his arrest and told of
how he assaulted her with stick
and tried to drown her. He re-
peated this story to the officials and
newspaper men and others and did
not appear to realize the enormity of
the crime and that in Texas is a
hanging offense.
Williams has employed counsel
here and now seems to think that the
thing for him to do is to fight the
case.
Mrs. Sallie Gibson, the woman
whom Williams assaulted and robbed,
was placed in the hospital here and
and has been under the constant care
of competent physicians. She is not
now considered in any danger as a
result of Williams attack and will
probably be discharged from the care
of the physicians.
Mrs. Gibson is about SO years of
age. She and Williams reached San
Antonio together, on the same train.
She had with her in a small grip
$4,000 in cash, $11, 700 of it in gold
and SO $1,000 bills. According to
Mrs. Gibson she sold all of her prop
erty in and near Columbia, S. G.
Before leaving that city Mrs. Gibson
got New York exchange for SCI, 900.
She and Williams left Columbia to-
gether. She says that Williams per-
suaded her to convert the exchange
into cash and it was paid to her as
stated above, in gold and large bills.
With this fortune in ready cash
they came to Texas for the purpose
of investing in southwest Texas
lands. On arrival at San Antonio
Williams persuaded her to take a
drive in a buggy in order to look s..
the land around San Antonio. After
getting out ten miles they got out of
the buggy and sat down on the side
of stream.
While Mrs. Gibson's back was
turned Williams struck her over the
head with a heavy stick or pistol
and then threw her unconscious body
into the river. He then got in the
buggy and drove to the city.
Fortunately the water revived her
and she was able to crawl to the bank.
After gaining strength she walked to
Mexican cottage and was brought
to the city. She told her story to
the officers and gave description of
Williams.
Williams was arrested on a South
ern Pacific sleeping Gar. He had
purchased ticket to New Orleans
and all of the money was found in
his possession. He did not deny
committing the robbery. His state
ment of the affair differs slightly
from that made by Mrs. Gibson.
