An Enterprisins Trader.
Chester Reporter, yesterday: Mr.. A.
M. Hardee the liveryman, was the
victim of an audacious and nervy
trick last week. A certain party went
to Mr.. Hardee and hired a horse for
three hours, paying the necessary fee
in advance. When the three hours
rolled around the fellow did not show
up with the horse, and Mr. Hardee
became alarmed when longer period
had passed by and still there was
nothing Of the absentee. Sunday
evening, in response to an advertise
ment, Mr.. Hardee learned that the
party had driven the horse to York
Vile and traded with Yorkville man,
afterwards going to Spartanburg ana
selling the Yorkville horse to a dealer
in that city. Mr. Hardee went to
Yorkville this morning to get his
horse. It Is expected that there will
be some developments in the case in
a day or two.

Dearly Loves q Lord.

The Liberal party In England is likely
10 find out how popular it is with the
nation after the 2ith Of this month, for it
is on that date that Sir Henry Campbell
Bannermau will move the following reso-
luton in the House Of Commons;

people as expressed by their elected representatives
b. is necessary that the power o the other House 10
alter or reject bills should be SO restricted by law
as 20 secure that within the limits of a single Par
li5ment the final decision Of the House of Commons
shall prevail
This, of course, is a nasty blow at that
time-honored institution, the House OF
Lords. That such resolution has any
chance of passing no one really believes,
for with the constantly increasing
strength Of the Radical and Socialistic
vote In England the conservative classes,
still a big majority. feel more than ever
the need Of a conservative branch Of
Parliament 20 act as a check on the more
or less eXtrayagant legislation Of the
lower House
But above and beyond all that, the reso-
luton takes no account Of the fact that

beer. who lose fortunes gambling, who

Wherein We Reassure EDITOR lam.

Mr.. Sidney G. Tapp, known more or
less to fame as the editor of The AmeTi-

Commonwealth wherein Tapp resides and

A Sea Mystery.

their trade. Right in the pathway Of the
huge ocean-liners lie the little dories lost

are never heard from again; once more
the sea has taken toll.
There is peculiar pathos, however.
about the loss of the Minnesotas launch.
While ones sympathy goes out fully 10
the men of the crew. and 10 all their
friends who so cruelty have to mourn
the uncertainty Of their fate, there is
a peculiar call for sorrow for the young
midshipmen who went down. After years
Of preparation for their career, these
young men had just begun the actual
duties Of their service. one can imagine
the dreams they had Of the work they
were to do in their country's navy. Be
fore them lay the path to glory; and had
they died in battle. their faces TO the

But to die as they did was hard and
