REFORM" COUNCIL SHOWS ITS coLORS.

The action of the Bis5ee city coun- ciI yesterday in throwing open again the low dive saloons Of the redNght district will prove a great shock to scores of good people. who were de oeived by loud promises of reform and protestations of virtue. into elect ing the present administration. It is the last and only proof needed of the truth asserted by the friends of Mayor Neale during tho city cam paisa. that the attacks upon him and his administration were born of the raakest hypocrisy ever seen in Ari- zona politics The plea made to the voters in behalf of the present ad- uinistration was almost pious in its tone. And TOW. almost the first ac- of the reform" administration is 10 pander to the lowest and vilest form of vice-in blunt language. to give prostitutes and their "pimps' more attitude in plying tbeir victims with liquor.
 The acton of the former admir- is.ration. under Mayor Neale, in talk ing away from depraved vice this dangerous weapon, was applauded alike in the home and the pulpit Every decent man and woman in Bisbee was glad to see this foul blot removed, and looked upon the reform as the forerunner of others like f. At least, it was never expected by the majority of citizens that the red light saloon would be given license again. The reform was a step in the right direction. It added to the self respect of the community. It gave a distinctly better civic tone. There was no argument against it, outside of the redlight district itself. and the handful of sympathizers with that form of vice. There have been no petitions presented to the council il behalf of the redlight saloon. No body of citizens who have any right to be heard have gone before the council to make a plea for the restoration of the vice. In short, there has been no pubic demand, no argument from any decent source, in behalf of the outlawed business. The council has not taken the public into it's confidence. There has been no discussion or call for an expression Of public sentiment. The whole thing comes as a surprise; it comes in a manner that proclaims the guilty con. science. It is an insult to Bisbee sI the more gratuitous because of fered in response to demands from those who are under police sur. vciilance every hour of the night and day
 Al the same session in which this action was taken. the council extend ed the tune of closing Bisbee saloons from midnight to o'clock. If o'clock why not clock? The logic is for a return to the wfde-oDen ss loon. running night and day. and 4 this is the next reform Mayor Ed mundson and his council have ia mind they need not delay. for thts rcdIight pandering has placed the peo pie in a position where they know what to expect.

The wedding of Miss Estelle c.

ceremony was then very impressively
performed by Rev. John R. Smith,

this couple was evidenced by the
many and useful presents received.
Rev. and Mrs. Bolen were carried by
Mr.. J. D. Whissenhunt, of Orange
burg, in his automobile to Bamberg,
from where they left for Charleston
and other points. Mrs. Bolen is one

Newspaper Plan Burned.

Macon, Ca, Nov. 3.-The Macon
Telegraph building was completely
gutted by fire tonight between $50
and 1880 o'clock. The loss is esti-
mated at 100000 covered by 80 pei
cent. insurance.
Raymond Clay, printer, was
burned to death. He had come to the
city from Knoxville, Tenn, looking
for work, and, worn out from loss OF
sleep, lay down to get some rest in
the rear of the composing room
The fire spread with such great
rapidity from the back to the front
of the building that Clay was for
gotten in the rush for safety by the
other employees.
Only about half of the files of the
paper, dating back for Is years,
were saved. c. R. Pendleton, editor
of the paper, also, it is feared, lost
a valuable collection of old works on
history and Georgia subjects.
The fire, as far as can be learned,
started from three boys smoking
cigarettes at the back of the build
ing, a butt" dropping into some
paper. The flames leaped up and
spread as though the building was
tinder. The efforts of the fremen
were chiefly confined to keeping the
flames from spreading to the ad-
joining buildings, one, of which is
occupied by the Macon Evening News
Half an hour after it was seen that
The Telegraph plant was a total loss
the working force was transferred to
The Evening News Office and the regu-

NO COMPROMISE PROPOSED.
Richland Distillery Case Unsettled.
Commissions Work About Over.

Columbia, Nov. "A denial that
any official offer of compromise has
been made in the Richland distillery
case was made here this afternoon.
1t is understood that the dispen-
sary winding-up commission has
about closed up it's work, and that it
will have an interesting report to
submit to the General Assembly. The
commission has made number OF
excellent settlements and, with the
payment of $4,000 by the Grabfelder
Company, the only large claim that
is outstanding is said to be that
against the Richland Distillery Com
pany. In the first announcements
that were made it was said that this
claim would run up to nearly three
quarters of a million dollars, but 1t
now appears that later figures have
reduced this claim to about $780,
900.
1t was also stated that the COM
mission had an offer of compromise
of something around 100000. An
announcement has just been made
that this is a mistake, and that no
official offer of compromise has been
made to the commission and that no
such settlement has been authorized.
1t is figured that the commission,
with the cooperation and hard work
of Attorney General Lyon, has col
lected fully half a million dollars in
the way of claims for overcharges.
The commission and it's attorneys are
now hard at work trying to push all
outstanding claims to settlement or
to the courts.

SAVED BY AN ELEPHANT.
Interesting Story Told by an Old Time
Man.

An old show man tells the follow
ing exciting story of his experience
when connected with well-known
menagerie during an engagement in
a town in Kentucky. after the ex-
hibition was over" he says, Il passed
into the menagerie to talk to the
watchman. For some cause be was
absent from his post, and I walked
across the amphitheatre toward my
old friend the elephant to give him an
apple, for We were the best of friends.
He was one of the largest elephants
I ever saw, and was as good-natured
as he was large.
"I was half way across the ring
when l heard a growl, and, looking
around, saw to my horror one of the
lions out of his cage and approaching
me in a crouching manner ready for
a spring.
Il thought thousand things in a
moment, and among them l must
have regretted perpetrating so many
old wornout jokes at the perform
ance that night. l had sufficient
presence of mind to realize my dan
gerous situation and to know that it
required the utmost caution to ex-
tricate myself from it.
Zone hasty motion on my part and
l would be in the jaws Of the mon
ster. 1 felt that my only hope was
the elephant, if 1 could reach him,
but he was chained by the foot and
could not reach me.
Nearer and nearer came the lion,
waving his tail in manner that
meant business. If turned my back
he would spring; if l took my eyes
from him was lost.
"It was terrible moment. I glid-
ed backward as swiftly as dared.
had another fear. I feared stumb-
ling backward, and knew if l did fall
would never rise, but that where
fell I would make meal for that
lion.
LAS 1 neared the elephant l saw
that the lion understood my move
ments, and, fearing he would be
baked of his prey, he prepared to
bring the matter to crisis. l then
saw that 1 had but one hope, and
that was to rush with all my speed
to the elephant.
''I think I must have jumped 20
feet when I turned, and I know the
lion jumped 80, but he just missed
me.
''How l completed the race do
not know. 1 only know that the ele-
plants trunk was around my waist
and he was lifting me up on his
head. I only knew that was saved. -

ONLY A DOOR KEY.
Found in the Pockets of an Unknown
Dead Man.

New York, Dec. 23.-The body of an
unidentified man who from marks on
his clothing is believed to have come
to this city from San Francisco was
found today in the hallway of a house
on West 49th street, just on the border
of the big hotel and amusement dis
trict. A hasty examination supplied
no evidence of how the man had died
and the police at once instituted an
investigation. Medical authorities
said the man had been dead about two
hours. The body was taken to the
morgue where an autopsy will be per-
formed.
The man wore clothing of excellent
material and his general personal APP
pearance was prepossessing. He was
about 35 years old, weighed in the
=neighborhood of 10 pounds and lack
ed only an inch of being six feet tall.
Nothing except door key was found
in his pockets. His derby hat bore
the name of McCreddy Brothers, 32

Democrats Are Planning New Legis-

Washington, Dec. 23.-The Demo-
Gratis who have been advocating pro-
oleomargarine legislation expect to Sc
cure passage of some general measure
along that line at the next congress-
when their party will be in control.
The various bills designed either to
minimize or repeal the tax on oleomar-
garine, which now is ten cents if col
ored and One-fourth of one cent if I'M
colored, were taken up by the house
committe con agriculture during the
last session of congress and a number
of hearings were held at which Repre-
sentative Burleson of Texas and others
who have introduced measures and
other interested voiced their views.
The committee, however, reached no
conclusion. There has been no DISPOSE
ton so far to take up the matter again
and several members favorable to such
legislatio have evinced their readiness
to waive any further proceedings until

According to Barton. the people of

have adopted reform and radical laws
only after these measures had been

Portuguese Republic Formulates {
Plan OF Government.

Lisbon, Dec. 23.-The plan of gov
ernmen+ for the new Portuguese re-

the parliamentary system of France
with certain notifications adopted
from the United States.
President of the republic will be
chosen by parliament for term of
five years, and he will be ineligible for
reelection until regular term has
