And while we are on this matter of
cleaning streets, here is an editorial
from the New York Evening Journal
which is OF interest. The vacuum pro-
cess described may be a little beyond
Columbia's grasp just now, but the
ideas expressed will serve to cmpha
size present conditions in Columbia
in comparison with the ideal here pic-
tured:
An intelligent citizen named NJ. +.
Bingham complains of street sweeping
without previous sprinkling. Nothing
could be more stupidity criminal than
the habit of sweeping dust and disease
germs into the air and into human
lungs. The city that allows dry street
sweeping to be carried on has an igno-
ramus government.
But sprnkling of the streets and
subsequent sweeping is not the real
solution OF the street-sweeping prob
lem.
Science has passed far beyond that
stage. Every city should be cleaned
by air pressure and air suction. Clean
ers that are Seen in big cities in hotels
and private houses should also be used
in our public streets.
The cost would be slight. the streets |
could be piped. the air exhausted at
certain points. and men quietly moving
up and down the streets could pick |
up with their air-exhausting machines |
every particle of dust, paper and dirt.
While waiting for the streets to be
provided with air suction pipes dis

for a guide an Anglo-Saxon who knew
the principal places of interest, and
possessed slight command of the
language. Neville, he learned, had
been in the country over three
months.
They were out early the next morn
ing and spent the entire day tramping
about the fascinating streets of the
Japanese city.
Did you bring your camera with
you?" Neville asked Hardy, as the
latter appeared on the veranda of the
hotel where he found his new-made
friend waiting. There's a deal to
photograph and these people are GER
tainly picturesque, even if they aren't
much else
will they allow one to take pho
tographs?" asked Hardy.
''Oh, certainly. There are no re-
strictions. whatever. Their civilization

after the English and American. They

walked up broad flight of stairs and
entered a room, in the center of which
middle-aged Japanese, in the uni
form of a general in the army, sat at
table writing. He was a corpulent
man, in whose shrewd eyes and stern
features European training contended
with Mongol cunning. He spoke for
a very few moments in a low tone
with subordinate, and, evidently as
a result of this conference, Neville
was led from the room. He returned
after about 20 minutes and Hardy
glanced at him curiously. If anything
unpleasant had been done to him, it
did not show in his face-a fact which
the American attributed to the 9th
er's British imperturbability.
Hardy himself was now led away.
He was taken into a room about ten
feet square, with bare floors and not
an article of furniture. He found him
self alone with two Japanese, one of
whom addressed him Immediately in
a language that he did not under
stand.

which it was necessary to get out and
walk; and of steep declivities where
the man-horse leaned back at an an
gle of As degrees and the muscles on
his legs stood out in knots.
Il say" cried Hardy to Neville, 'if
this thing ever gets away from him
III be in pretty pickle"
You'd travel to the bottom jolly
fast!" laughed Neville, who did not
seem to be the least bit nervous.
There were innumerable paper Ian
terms, of course, and one quarter of
the town was lighted as if for lawn
party.
They were sitting on the floor in
the back room of a tea-house, listen
ing to the music furnished by three
geishas, when they were arrested.
into this place, because his compan-
ion assured him that it was the real
thing, and not one Of those resorts
that are run for foreigners. This state
ment was borne out by the fact that
the dozen or more patrons whom they
found there were natives, with the ex-
ception of one, little foreigner who
spoke bad English, and who, as Hardy
remembered afterward, sat extensively
close to him. This man had a pro-
fuse, shapeless beard and bad teeth
and persisted in drawing Hardy and
Neville into conversation. The
American took dislike to him from
the first.
Don't resist, don't resist" whis-
pered Neville, as four policemen
stepped up to them. 1T won't do
you the least good in the world, don't
you know. They've made some bloom
ing mistake, and when they find out
what it is they'll do everything in
their power to make amends"
81 haven't the least idea in the
world of resisting" replied Hardy
good-naturedly; this is really inter-
esting. Whom do they take us for, l
wonder?"
They were escorted to a cab and
whirled off to a large modern-appear-
ing building of stone, whose front
was lighted by an electric globe. They

allow perfect freedom in such mat
ters, simply because the Anglo-SaXons
do. They are a nation of monkeys"
Hardy went back after his kodak.
The two men, as they walked away
from the front steps of the Grand ho-
tel, presented, in their physical ap-
pearance, as great a contrast as pos
sible: Neville, tall, 1arge-boned, fiorid,
blue.eyed, thick-lipped; Hardy of me-
dium size, dark, slender, well-knit, and
so erect that he seemed to be slightly
taller than he really was. His suit of
dark gray fitted him with that unob-
trusive elegance that proclaims the
most expensive American tailors,
while his gold-rimmed pince-nez add
ed intellectual distinction to a high
bred somewhat ascetic countenance.
In The afternoon they walked down
toward the sea-shore, the Englishman
still acting as guide.
THAT would make a fine view" sug-
gested Neville, those houses along
the beach, that bit of sea, and the
hills yonder."
THAT is So" assented Hardy. 81 be-
lieve III take it. If I'm not careful,
| shall get all my films covered with
babies" He opened his camera and
rolled out the bellows. Then he
strolled back and forth for several mo-
ments, gazing into the finder, as he
tried to decide on the composition of
the view that he would take. He
pressed the bulb and was closing the
instrument when a Japanese in Euro
pean dress stepped up to him and
laid a OBTAINING hand upon his arm.

sir" said the Japanese quietly, in per-
feet English. Hardy looked about in
amazement Naturally his first
thought was that he was being
robbed
Don't try anything of that kind
here, my man." he replied, cor I'll
give you into the hands of the police"
The threat was suggested by the
presence of two police officers who
were standing near, evidently watch
ing the scene. The Japanese now
called to them in his own tongue and
they approached.

! said. "and you will be taken into Gus

tell from the distance maintained, the
paper seemed to be covered with
drawings and plans of some kind.
81 never saw that before!" he ex
claimed much wondering. They went
out together and left him in the mid
die of the room. Having nothing bet
ter to do, he lighted a cigarette and
attempted to study it all out, standing
there with his hands in his pockets.
Il only hope they don't keep this
farce up till l miss my train" he
unused; 81 have bought my ticket"
He was not kept waiting long. The
general himself came in to see him.
"Of what am l accused?" asked Har-
dy, "and why am l subjected to these
indignities?"
The general also spoke English He
had shrewd, fearless, penetrating
eyes, and an absolutely dispassionate,
businesslike air.

allowed himself to exhibit excitement

Neville. "He is evidently laboring un-
der some mistake, which the authori-
ties will be jolly well anxious to rec

Hardy handed over his camera.

CHAPTER II.
Searched by the Police.

THE Anglo -Saxons are the only peo-
pie who have any idea of personal lib
erty," remarked Hardy, as the two
men stood on the steps of the hotel,
waiting for their jinrikisha to arrive
Fancy the authorities In New York
or London taking away your camera
and developing the films, just to see
what pictures you have taken! Well,
| got my camera back all right, and
I'm going to consider myself in luck
because l get my films developed free
of charge. | wonder If there's any
thing else this obliging people would
like to do for me before | go away?"
At this moment the jinrikisha came
up and the newly-made friends start
ed out for their night expedition about
the streets of Yokohama-such an ex-
cursion as only Pierre Lott or Lafca-
dio Hearn could describe adequately.
An Americans chief sensation on first
getting into a jinrikisha is loss of
dignity. There you sit, perched in a
narrow trim baby carriage, driving a
bare-legged little man with an invert-
ed fish-basket on his head.
They trotted from place to place till
midnight or after, Hardy enjoying
himself hugely He took away with
him a confused memory of dark, mar
row streets swarming with Japanese,
mostly babies; of occasional low build
ings where something seemed to be
going on inside; of steep activities at

Piled; III you wish to talk with me,
you will have to find some one who
can speak English"
Il was not talking Japanese to you,
as / think you know" replied his in
quisitor, in absolutely perfect English.
You are too modest as to your really
remarkable linguistic requirements.
But if it suits you to speak English at
the present moment shall be most
happy to oblige you. l am sorry to
inform you that you must submit to
being searched"
Now, really, wouldn't that be car
rying matters too far?" asked Hardy.
Il had iHtended to take this thing
good naturedly, as it interests me:
but searching mel really think l
shall enter a protest against that. l
am an American citizen, you know,
and if any indignities are offered me,
l shall not fail to demand redress"
Unfortunately, we have nothing to
do with that feature of the case re-
piled the Japanese. I'VE are under
orders. and we trust you will not put
us to the disagreeable necessity of
using force"
We'll, go ahead" said Hardy cheer
lily, land if you find anything out of
the ordinary, I'll eat it."
They stepped briskly up to him and
began to run their hands rapidly and
deftly over his clothing and through
his pockets AS they worked, he
talked
"If this had happened in Russia,
now, where every man is suspected
OF being an anarchist or spy,
shouldn't have wondered at it. But
we Americans have begun to look on
you Japanese as civilized people. We
call you the Yank,-hello, what's
tnat?"
They had taken from his overcoat
pocket bundle of papers, which they
opened under the electric bulb hang
ing from a wire in the middle of the
room and began to examine. Hardy
stepped forward briskly, out of curl
osity, but one of them threw out an
arm as rigid as a bar of steel and
pushed him back as easily as If he

do you think?"
II haven't the least idea," replied
Neville. Probably they have heard
that some other country prohibits ia
king photographs. AS told you, they

Mr.. Hardy found his camera on his
return to the hotel, with a note stating
that the films would be returned to
him in the morning. developed. The
incident, which had been conducted in
masterful manner, threw a new
light on Japan. 1t led him to believe
that this was something more than a
comicopera country, and that the in
habitants were not all babies.

Negro Insulted Kershaw Lady.

Lancaster, Oct 9.-Sherif Hunter
made hurried trip to Heath Springs
to-day in response to telegram ad-
yising him to "Come at once. Have
trouble. A negro has insulted lady.
On his arrival the sheriff found that
the negro in question had been TAX
en- to Kershaw county and severely
whipped and then ordered to leave
the State.
1t is said that the negro, whose
name is Rich Thompson, about 70
years old, went to the home of wild
ow in the Heath Springs section last
night and knocked at the door. The
summons was answered by her child,
who went back and reported to Its
mother that man wanted to see her.
On the lady's going to the door her

proper proposal to her, whereupon

shut the door, the negro disappear

The lady lost no time in notifying
her people of what had happened.
They captured the negro and finally
disposed of him as stated, doing so
under the impression that, having
made no assault, he could not be pun
ished under the law.

The Question of Whiskey.

Washington, Oct. 5.-In what
quantity and how frequently may a
man indulge in whiskey in South
Carolina before he may be said to
"use" it to excess, is one of the ques-
tions which the Supreme Court Of the
United States may feel itself called
upon to consider in a short time.
Application has been made to the
court to review the judgment of the
Federal courts of South Carolina, re-
fusing to allow the estate Of DR.. Jo-
seph P. Johnson, deceased, of Dor
chester county, S. c., to recover S1O,-
900 on an insurance policy issued by
the State Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany, a Georgia corporation.
The court directed verdict in
favor of the company on the ground
that DR.. Johnson in making applica-
ton for a policy made fraudulent
representations as to his sanity.
Attorneys for the estate claimed
that DR.. Johnson had not been in
sane, but admitted that he was once
at an insane asylum for eighteen days
as a result of delirium tremens pro-
duced by a sudden over indulgence
of whiskey and not an excessive use
of the liquor.

TWO MORE ARRESTS.
Negroes Arrested in Georgia to be
Brought Back.

Lexington, Oct. 1.-THE only new
developments to-day in the Williams
murder case is the announcement
from Auguta that Chief Elliott has
two negroes at Appling, Ca, under
arrest, it being believed that one Of
them at least is implicated in the
murder and robbery which occurred
on the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus
train last Saturday night.
Three Others.
FELTON, Gilbert, the negro who al
leges that he was thrown from the
train about six miles this side Of
Columbia, after he had been beaten
up and robbed of 80 cents, said that
there were three other negroes in ad-
dition to the three he has recognized
in the Jail here who helped to assault
him. He was given a full description
of them to the officers and the en-
tire country is being secured in an
effort to find the men. 1t is supposed
that Chief Elliott has one of these
men under arrest at Appling, Ga, and
it is likely that the suspects will be
brought to Lexington at once.
Gilbert is still here. He is rapidly
recovering from his injuries.
Awful Experience.
w. NJ. Harris, young white man,
who joined the circus four weeks ago
at Nashville, Tenn, and who is per
haps one of the most valuable wit
nesses for the prosecution, is still
here and will remain until after the
trial of the men now in Jail.
Mr.. Harris also had terrible ex-
perience on the same train upon
which young Paul Williams was so
brutally slain. When the train was
about five miles this side of Colum-
bia, according to the statement OF
Harris, about IL men attacked him,
four of whom threw him down, beat
him over the head and after robbing
him of all the money he had-$12.5O
two pocket knives and time-book,
knocked him off the train. Harris
went back to Cayce and boarded the
train for Augusta next morning,
where he reported the assault and
robbery to Chas. Hagenbeck, man
ager of the circus. He has. recog-
nized two of the negroes in the jail
as being his assailants, the others, he
thinks, have not been arrested.
vii Ask Special Term.
The special officers Of the South
ern railway, who were dispatched to
work on the case, are still busy, it is
said, and Chief Elliott, of Augusta, is
still on the job.
Sheriff Corley said to-day that he
would ask Solicitor Zimmerman to
have a special term Of court held to
try the men.
