ARTIFICIAL LACE IN FRANCE
Mechanism and Chemistry Furnish
Product That Wears Better
Than Real Article.

Mechanism and chemistry combined
have furnished France with q new
produce-artificial lace. The general
public has heard little about It, but
the lace manufacturers Of Lyons, Ca
lais and Caudry have for some time
past been much p~erturbed over this
unexpected competition to which they
will have to submit.
Artificial lace is In effect q manu-

JOSEPH PULITZER DEAD.
Worlds Greatest Journalist
Passed Away at Charleston.

Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor Of the
irew York World and the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch, and one Of the most
commanding figures in modern jour
nalism, died at LAO o'clock Sunday
afternoon aboard his yacht, the
Liberty, in Charleston harbor. The
immediate cause of Mr. Pulitzer's
death was heart failure.
Mr. Pulitzer's body will be taken
North at 4::35 o'clock this afternoon
on a special Pullman car. Special
arrangements have been made for
transportation of the remains by
Travelling Passenger Agent T E
Myers. of the Atlantic Coast Line.
The coach will be draped with black.
The funeral will be held at Wood
lawn cemetery in New York. prob
ably towards the end Of this week.
Mr.. Pulitzer's son, Joseph, is now
on his way from St Louis with his
wife, and one of his daughters will
come from Colorado. Ralph Pulit-
zer, the eldest son, is on his way to
Charleston and will meet the train
en- route.
Up to an hour and a half before
his death Mr. Pulitzer's mind re-
mained perfectly clear. His Ger
man secretary had been reading to
him an account of the reign of Louis
X, of France, in whose career Mr.
Pulitzer had always taken the live
liest interest. As the secretary
neared the end of his chapter and
came to the death Of the French
King, Mr.. Pulitzer said to him in
German, "Leise, GAM leise.' (Soft-
ly, quite softly. These were the
last words which he spoke on earth.
Mr. Pulitzer was born in Buda-
Pesth, Hungary, April 10, 1847. He
received a classical education in his
native city, and in 1863 came to the
United States, where, until 1865, he
served as a private soldier in the
Federal army.

passing that church there was a
great crowd collected and we stopped
to listen to DR. Pearce explaining the
Story Of the Cross. The people,
most o. whom were Italians, listened
respectfully to him.
We had the pleasure of hearing a
Polish missionary preach to the
crowd in the Polish language, though
we did not understand one word he
said. He is employed by the Baptist
church l have just mentioned to 20
to Ellis Island every day to see after
the immigrants as they come in from
the Old Country. There are between
three and four hundred Italian chill
dren who go to that church to Sun
day-school. The teachers found it
hard at first to induce them to come.
for. as you may know. the most of
the Italians are Roman Catholics.
Moving pictures of scenes from the
Bible and other useful pictures, such
as Ten Nights in a Bar Room, etc.
are used. 1t was quite interesting to
hear these little foreign children, at
whose homes, as one OF the teachers
said, they hear nothing good, behave
and sing so we'll.
1t is quite refreshing, amid all the
hustle of the streets as you pass the
churches, to see on good many of
them on large sign boards the words:
Welcome, come in, rest and pray"
We attended Quaker. or Friends, =,
meeting on First day, as they call the
Sabbath. We sat in perfect silence
for at least half-hour, then one of
the members rose up and made a
sort of lecture; then silence, and af-
ter while the congregation left in
perfect silence their meeting house,
as they call their church.
We had the pleasure of hearing
William Jennings Bryan lecture one
Sunday night at a Madison Avenue
Methodist church. We were glad for
standing room, as the church was
filled to it's utmost capacity and a
great many were refused admit
tance.
One night we went to the Cooper
Union building to hear the Govern
ors of the five woman-suffrage States
speak. They were highly in favor of
women voting and among other
things one of them said that fifty
years from today the whole country
will look back with surprise that
there ever was a time that women
did not vote.
must not forget to mention the
Labor temple. 1t was once Presby-
terian church, but its members
moved up town, and it is now used
for free lectures, sermons and mov-
ing pictures for the improvement
and pleasure of the laboring people.
We went several nights and found it
quite interesting listening to the
talented young speaker and manager,
who, though he had had few advan-
tages and worked seven years in a coal
mine,is quite an orator, and the way
he answered some of the difficult
questions asked by those in the au-
dience was certainly fine.

Death OF Mr.. Pinkney Hodge
ENJOYABLE Social Function.


Greelyville, September 11:--The
cotton crop has been damaged very
much by the recent rainy weather,
which caused the open cotton to
sprout and rot in the pods, and the
grown pods on the ground have also
rotted. Blight or rust is also causing
a great loss. 1t seems that the farm
er's lot is hard indeed. Some of the
farmers estimate the loss at 25 per
cent.
