Hard on Women.

The Southern Christian Advocate
makes this deliverance:
"The law against bucket shops and
cotton future exchanges went into effect
in this State July 1st. All forms of
gambling In this State are prohibited.
The persons who most violate the gam
bling laws of this State, and they do 1t
with impunity and without fear of mo-
lestation, are those ladies in high life,
who carry on gambling in their parlors." /"
TO some this may seem pretty severe
on the women, but it is just and true.
specially are the women to be con-
Lemned who are church members. and
who take part in gambling in the home.
We think that Satan is never better
pleased than when he looks over the
society columns of the newspapers and
reads the names of prominent women in
the churches who have held a card party
or chaperoned some innocent young peo-
pie at dance. And do you not know
that the pastors of both the women who
give the functions and of those who at
tend have their hearts ache as they read
their names in the papersP
And the world--the people who are
not Christians-how do they feelp Well,
they simply have no confidence in the
profession of those worldly minded
folks.-Greenwood Journal.

BALTIMORE MAN HANGS HIMSELF.
ENDS HIS LIFE WITH ROPE IN cHIccOs
L0DaiHG .d0UsE.

Charleston, July 15.--Fred Boulay, of
Baltimore, alias Fred MARITIME, who came
to Charleston abouttwo weeks ago with
q beautiful young womsn,, Eleanor ".
Prioe, OF Baltimore, and has been living
with her as his wife, committed suicide
this morning In Chiooo's lodging house,
on Market atreet, by hanging.
The girl this afternoon, said that she
did not spend the night with Bonlay last
night, but stayed with friend. when
she attempted Co get into their room this
morning at about 10 O'Clock. the door was
found to be locked on the inside. It was
forced open and the body Of Boulay wss
seen swinging from strap attached to a
hook in the ceiling above. He had used
an ordinary dress suit case strap and a
net hook to fashion the machine which
brought him death.
This morning letter oame for the girl
from her mother, Mrs. Patrick Harrigan,
OF Baltimore. 1t was written in response
to one sent from Charleston few days
ago, telling the mother the whereabouts
of her daughter and what she had done.
The mother said in her letter to-day that
she was going to put the case IL the
hands of the police and have her girl
brought back home.
This afternoon the young woman said
that Boulay had left wife in baltimore
on June 30, to travel with her. They had
been to Coney Island, to Savannah and
then came to Charleston. Boulay's money
gave out, he took to drinking heavily and
made three unsuccessful attempts before
to end his iifo By pistol, drowning and
poison.
1t Is the theory held here that reduced
TO absolute financial stcaits Boulay mnst
have been overcome with romorse this
morning and SO ended his life miserably.
He was man of about 80 years of age,
of handsome features and was both In
fatuated and terribly jealous ! of "his
little kid" as he called the girl. Several
times they had qusrreled bitterly recent
ly. Both have people: In Baltimore,
where the girl says she is going to return.

MINNEAPOLIS WAS BUILT ON THE ROOFS
OF WATER WORM CAVES.

The business part of Minneapolis IA
built on the roof Of caves. There wal
onoc atnetwork Of subterranean lakes.
AZ any time during years the roofo Of
these taverns might have caved.
For three years men have toiled undsf
ground like moles to,preyens this danger.
a. hundred feet below the straeta boats
have carried the material for .bis work.
Now the big work is completed and all ia
safe.
Only recently Andrew Rinker, city en-
gineer, released for publication the fact
that for three years Minneapolis had been
threatened with disastrous calamity.
Under oath of secrecy, members>pf the
oity council have yearly expended large
appropriations from the city's funds in
the immense undertaking for the preven-
tion of threatened disaster. AZ
A fortunate accidental discovers of the
danger, and the liberal use of concrete,
has eliminated the peril, and the threat.
ened part Of the city Is now as safe as II
it rested on the eternal rock. These
caves extend under the city from First
avenue north to Eighth aveu 10 south and
from Sixth to Fourth street. Some of
them are over 200 feet long and from 8 to
20 feet high, located from 80 to 119 feet
below the level of the streets.
+ They form chain of oavsrns. Their
vaulted roofs, on which rest big build
ings, are supported by immense concrete
pillars. Under the First National, the
Northwestern National, and the Farmers
and Mechanics banks there was vast
cavity.
All Of the caves have been made by
water flowing from the springs in the
Bassett Creek valley. Originally ths
caves were filed with water, forming a
chain of subterranean lakes, which grad.
ually emptied and wore larger by the
wash of running water when the big
sewer tunnel from First avenue north,
south to the river, was built in 1SS8-S7.

Chas. l.. Angel Loses by Fire.

Last Friday the saw mill plant
OF Chas L. Angel. about two miles
from Salem, this county, was de-
stroyed by fire. The origin is un-
known, but 1t Is thought to have
caught from the engine, as there as
a large quantity of very dry material
collected about the premises. The
loss was about $500, with no insur
ance. Mr.. Angel has many friends
in, the county, and especially in Wal
halla, his home, who regret deeply
his misfortune. The large engine
which operated the plant was fortu-
nately but little damaged.
