WITHIN THE TOWN.

A number of people living along
the sewer lines who had expected to
connect from lower floors are disap-
pointed to find that they will be unable
to connect only from upper floors. In
many instances along Main street the
sewer is above the floors of the ad-
joining Easements, cellars, etc. Still
it is being talked that everybody is to
be forced to connect.
- There was a blaze at the transfor-
mer house Of the Neely Mill last Sun
day afternoon caused by lightning, 1t
is thought. When discovered, the
transformer house was in flames, and
because Of the tremendous current
from the power plant there was danger
in approaching the place. Mr.. Jonas,
the machinst, took the risk of shutting
off the current with long stick from
the outside, and the mill fire squad ex-
tinguished the flames before the arrival
Of the town department. The opera
tions of the town department were OBJ
structed because Of the torn up streets.
The loss was close to $3.50.

ner. The pastors of the Methodist and
Presbyterian churches recalled their

tions to the church and it is believed
that there will be many others. The

Mr.. John A. Shurley and Miss Leon
White, two popular young people of
Yorkville, had quite an unpleasant eX-
perience last Friday night as the re-
suit of a fall into a pit that had been
eXcavated for a manhole for the un-
finished sewer. They were driving to
a party at Mr.. John S. Sandifers. The
night was very dark and because there
was no lantern to be seen, it was pre-
sumed that the way was safe. The
horse suddenly went down, and the
buggy after it. The pit was divided
into two compartments by timbers put
down on one side and Mr.. Shurley
and Miss White in the other with the
buggy on top Of them. Help came
promptly and a rescue was quickly ef-
fected. Both Mr. Shurley and Miss
White were more or less painfully
bruised. The horse was also somewhat
bruised. There seems to be no ques
ton of the fact that the accident was
due to the absence Of the lanterns that
should have been there. The super
intendent of the construction work
says that the lantern had been prompt
ly placed, but that it was stolen. He
has been losing a number Of lanterns
the same way.

Hill was very natural. The people
there who know the facts as to the al
legged sacrifice, would feel entitled to
some further explanation. So much
for testimony and circumstances. Now
for a little logic. If there was any
other purpose in the New Zion anG
Ogden story than to prove present 10y
atty to Winthrop by citing the alleged
sacrifices of fifteen years ago, what
was it? If it were a fact that $4,000
home was sold for $4,000 we can ap-
preciate the idea of sacrifice. If the
statement had been nearly $4,000" we
could have seen in it a strong desire
sor reasonable accuracy, to say the
thing over $4,000" in describing an
amount that was so close to $4,000
does not impress us as suggesting ac-
curacy, and neither would we take it
as emphasizing the idea of sacrifice,
because it might so easily be stretched
to convey the idea that the amount
received was close to the $4,000 that
the property is alleged to be worth
now. But after all, we do not feel
called upon to vindicate the correct
ness of our report. We reported Mr..
Stewart as we heard him, and we be-
lieve we heard him correctly. This
we leave to Mr.. Stewart and the peo-
pie of New Zion and Ogden.

The SAME PAPER.

Have you been sending me the
same paper that you have been send
ing the other people?" asked a we'll
known Bethesda township farmer of
the editor of The Enquirer in Rock
Hill last Saturday.
The editor was not a little surprised
at the question, but after assuring the
gentleman that the same paper went
out to all subscribers, asked him the
reason Of his question.
We'll, l have been taking the paper
about fifteen or twenty years, during
which time 1 have read every issue,
and when 1 read not long ago that Mr..
Stewart had said that The Enquirer
had always been his political enemy,
and since hearing him on the same line
this morning, l have begun to wonder
whether l got the same paper as the
others got. l have seen in my paper
from time to time some pretty hard
things that Mr.. Stewart has had to
say about The Enquirer, but l have
never noticed that The Enquirer has
had anything to say that was especial
ly abusive of Mr.. Stewart"

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

Yesterdays developments in the
speculative cotton market were sum-
married. in a New York dispatch OF
last night as follows: After a very ir-
regular early and middle session to-
day the cotton market became very
firm on a renewal of strong Wall
Street bull support and covering, with
the close firm at net advance of to
IS points. Sales were estimated al
1850 bales.
The market opened firm, the fea-
ture on the call being the sensational
fluctuations i'm August, the first sale of
which was at 1925, the second at 1890
and the third at 10.48, or As points
net higher. The rest of the list open
ed to IS points higher in sympathy
with the August advance, better ca
bles than expected, and continued talk
of drought in parts of Texas. Only
400 bales of August were bought on
the advance, and right after the call
that position broke to 9.9S, on sales
of about 500 bales.
This affected the late months and
with local bears inclined to take the
aggressive as soon as the August bulge
was over, the market weakened sharp
" with October selling off from 9.32
to GA during the early afternoon, or
about 10 points net lower. At this
level there was a renewal of active
Wall street bull support and the mar
ket became very firm in the late
trading with October advancing to
9.42, a new high level for the day and
40 points above the low level of last
week. The close was within a point
or two of the best on active months,
with August closing at 1910 bid. Pri-
vate advices of dry weather and crop
as a rule are considered
very favorable. There is talk of cot
ton coming here from Galveston for
delivery on August contracts.

TELEPHONE FRANCHISE.

Editor of The Yorkville Enquirer.
During several days past, represen-
tatives of the Piedmont or Bell Tele-
phone company have been having
private conferences with the town
council with reference to securing a
twenty-five year franchise for that
company in Yorkville.
l am reliably informed that a ma
jority of the council has practically
agreed to give to this corporation this
valuable franchise for the sum Of one
dollar, and submit to the cutting off
Of a part of the present connections,
Under the proposition, the telephone
company is to be allowed to increase
it's rental charges.
There was q tie vote on one scale or
advanced rates, and the mayor decided
the tie against the town in favor Of
the rich corporation.
About three years back this company
tried to work the same game, but was
baff1ed by the citizens in a public
meeting, and several members Of this
council have been requested to call a
public meeting Of the citizens before
disposing of this valuable franchise.
Is this council true to the interest
Of the town or Is it trying to subserve
the interest Of this rich corporation?
AS a citizen, a tax payer; and business
man, protest against the giving away
Of this valuable franchise.

STUDYING THE MONKEY MIND
Harvard's Candidate for Doctors Degree Locates
in the Bronx Zoo

In my work at Harvard, found out
a little Of tho monkeys general ways
Of doing things. AS a result I de-
vised problems to set before the vari-
Gus animals. According to the way
they went at these problems or solved
them, I decided might be able to tell
whether monkeys are primarily imi
tators or try out things for themselves.
I haven't got along far enough yet, of
course, to form any opinion on the
matter" -..-... ...
Perhaps the simplest of Mr.. Hag-
gerty's hatful Of monkey tricks is one
which requires the monkey to push
aside a small wooden door in order to
get sunaower seeds or bit of banana
placed just outside a hole concealed
by the door A second trick, slightly
more puzzling to the simian gray mat
ter, requires the monkey to break
thin sheet of paper before he can
reach the coveted fruit.
Problems still more puzzling to the
monkey intellect are those which
make it necessary for the simian un-
der observation to shove up small
door by pushing against it's fiat side;
to pull wooden plug on one side of
the cage in order to open a door on
the opposite side and to pull the right
one of dozen or so strings, all hang
ing from the top of the trick box.
my general PLAZA in trying out the
monkeys with each Of the different
problems" explained Mr. Haggerty,
'is to put each one in the box alone
for fifteen minutes every day for five
successive days. At the end Of that

plenipotentiary' of the Samoan king
dom at Washington, while Carter was
negotiating for the cession to the
United States of Pearl harbor -.
On Jan. %, 1887, news of the Ha-
waiian expedition, magrified out of all
proportion, having reached the Brit
ish government, warning note was
sent out from the foreign Office, it be-
ing suggested at the time that this
was another instance where Downing
street received it's inspiration from the
Wilhelmstrasse. At that time the
British commissioner at Honolulu re-
quested the Hawaiian government not
to interfere in the offairs of Samoa.
But the loading of gin on the Kaimiloa
went merrily on despite the growlings
of the British lion, the notice attract
ed from abroad pleasing the Hawaiian
king.
Premier Gibson went ahead, the
merry monarch Kalakaua played
poker with his lord high commissioner
and. his admiral, and the hula dancers
packed their wardrobes for the junket,
while on the other side OF the world
Bismarck discussed with his col
leagues the Importance of the Ha-
waiians, Lord Salisbury worried lest
the Kaimiloa mission should bring
about the German annexation of Sa-
moa, and Ambassador Bayard had to
smile and accept the German assur-
ance that they had no intention of COB
bling Samoa or Of suspecting America
of any such motive.
The affair almost developed in in
ternational politics into war between
Germany and little Hawaii, thus prod
ding into the sore spot of the body
polite of the powers and acting the
part of a mosquito in line to be
slapped and crushed. In instructions
to the German ambassador at Wash
ington for transmission to the Ameri-
can government Bismarck wrote:
ssIn case Hawaii, whose king acts
according to financial principles which
it is not desirable to extend to Samoa,
should try to interfere in favor OF Ma
lietoa, the king Of the Sandwich ISL

ment, and to his fertile scheming was
the Samoan venture due. Prior to
this time, 1883, he had sent Capt
ATrippe and F. l.. Clarke as royal COM
missioners to the Gilbert islands and
New Hebrides, and a parody on the
Monroe doctrine had been put forth in
granailoquent protest, addressed to all
the great powers, warning them
against and further annexation in the
Pacific ocean and warning them that
Hawaii claimed the exclusive right
ito assist them in improving their po-
litical and social conditions" - .
At the time Of the attempted ex-
tension Of this burlesque doctrine to
the Samoan group three great powers
were interested there, and a confer
ence was about to open at Washington
between Great Britain, Germany and
the United States to determine the
status of the islands, in view of
to King Malietoa was seized upon by
the Germans as something backed by
the American government in an ag-
grandizement policy to include the an
nexation Of Hawaii and of Samoa.
Added to the embarrassment in which
this placed Washington was the fact
that the Hawaiian commissioner re-
turned with a commission for Mr..
Carter, the Hawaiian minister at
Washington, creating him as we'll the
envoy extraordinary and minister
