BLEEDING THE COUNTRY.
Lame-duck Commissions Getting Too
Frequent.

Ten members of the national mon
etary commission now draw salaries
of $500 a year each. When the
commission was originally appointed,
the members were not paid salaries,
inasmuch as they were members of
the senate or the house and there
was a constitutional obstacle to the
drawing of two salaries by congress-
men. Inasmuch, however, as the
members of the commission in all
eases ceased to serve in congress with
the end of the last session, provision
vas made for the payment of sala-
1tes to them just before the adjorun-
nent. It is now a wellpaid "lame-
duck' commission, consisting of the
following men: Ex-Senators Nelson
w. Aldrich, julius Caesar Burrows,
Eugene Hale, fernando D. Money,
Frank P. Flint, Henry NJ. Teller and
lanes P. Taliaferro, and ex-Repre-
sentatives James, MacLachlan, Geo.
w. Prince and Robert W. Bonynge.
The names of Messrs. Prince and
MacLachlan were added only last
month in order to provide places for
them in the public service. Another
"1ame-duck" performance that de-
serves criticism was the placing OF
ex-senator Warner of Missouri upon
the board of ordinance and fortihca-
tions at a salary of $4,000 year.
All such Offices are practically sine
cures, and the effect is to pension IN
directly the occupants. The multi
nlication of commissionerships under

DANDY1sM IN 1772.
Extravagant Fashions of the Maca-
ronies in Georgian Days.

Dandyism developed new phase
of quite richness during early Geor-
gian times and the court requisites
were stately figures in finely laced
shirts, long-skirted coats and gold
clocked stockings. The hats worn by
the beaux were modified reproduce
tions of those in fashion at Versail-
les and the art of wearing them was
shown in the tilt; in fact, different
angles in the tilt identified the wear
er's status and locality.
In 1772 dandyism became again
paramount. A band of young bloods
returned from an extended tour
abroad, and while in Italy they had
contrived to get several new ideas
about dress into their somewhat
empty heads.
Fired with an ever growing sense
of their own Importance as arbiters
of fashion, they formed themselves
into a group known as the Macaroni
club, in contra-distinctio to the good
old-fashioned Beefsteak club of Lon
don.
The Macaronies dressed their hair
in enormous side curls, with a
hideous knocker-like twist at the
back. With this exaggerated coif-
fure a tiny hat was worn, which it
was correct for the wearer to raise
with his tasseled cane.
A soft white handkerchief was
tied in a huge bow under the Maca-
roni's chin; his coat was short and
his tight knee breeches were made
of striped or fowered silk. Thus
garbed with innumerable dangling
seals, two watches at least, silk
stockings and diamond buckled
shoes, the dandy walked abroad, en-
inently satisfied with himself and
quite convinced that his appearance
was greatly envied.-"Beau Brum-

NEGROES BURNED.
Two. Dead and Six Injured in Bag
gage Car at Hartsville.

Hartsville, April S.-One of the
most horrible accidents that have
ever occurred in Hartsville happened
this morning at o'clock in the bag
gage coach of the negro show, "Silas
Green" which was sidetracked in the
Atlantic Coast Line yards After
closing an engagement of two days
here, the troupe had packed and was
ready to leave when fire was discov
cred in the baggage car. In this car
were eight negro men, five Shetland
ponies, a horse, mule, trunks and
other paraphernalia. 1t appears that
the men having worked hard, had
fallen asleep. The doors of the car
were closed as heavy rain had
fallen during the night. AS the fire
burned on top and on the side, a nat
ural inference would be that the fire
was caused from ignited gas, but it is
denied that there was any gas in the
car.
Two Dead.
One man was taken from the car
dead, being horribly burned about the
face, hands and feet. One of the in
jured, Willie Dundee, Hartsville ne
gro, died later. The others, six in
number, were sent to the hospital at
Sumter. All are very seriously hurt.
Three are thought to be fatally in
jured. The physicians of the town
have done all in their powerto relieve
the suffering of the injured, the
wounds have been carefully dressed,
and it is hoped that three will re-
cover.
Pitiful Sight.
It is a pitiful sight. The faces of
some are burned almost beyond rec
ognition.
Three of the five Shetland ponies
are dead, and two are injured.
The show is entirely negro aggre-

night and Florence Monday and

about $1,000, and the death and Sc
rious injury of several of the en-
ployes will have on the show is not
known. Much sympathy is felt here
for the sufferers.

over the body of the negro who was
taken out dead.

DEATH POWERLESS.
Man Lives Despite Desperate Wounds
in His Head.

Camden, April 5.-Breaking all
known surgical records and showing
a vitality unprecedented, Adolph
Kelly is alive and conscious a month
after receiving two wounds, either Of
which would have proved fatal to
almost any one. He was chopped in
the head with a hatchet, his brain
protruding through the wound, and
then shot through the forehead the
ball lodging inside the skin at the
back of his head. Despite these des-
perate wounds Kelly has never lost
consciousness. His physicians, who
have marveled at his living this
long, express no hope of his ultimate
recovery, and state that he is grow
ing weaker and will probably die
before the end of the week.
Cut With Hatchet.
As result of family trouble and
too much whiskey, Kelly, who lives
about six miles from Blaney, on Feb
Fuary s, threatened to kill all the
persons in his house. Brooks Corn
well, 17-year-old-boy, who is close
kin to Kelly, attempted to stop him.
Kelly resented it, and drew a pistol
and tried to shoot. Cornwell grabbed
. hatchet and with a mighty blow
cut. his head open, exposing his
brain.
This blow did not stop Kelly, and
he still tried to shoot. Cornwell fore
ed the pistol against Kelly's head,
and in the struggle it went of, the
bail going through his forehead and
lodging in the back of his head.
Kelly still showed fight, and went
into his room and secured shotgun,
and went through the house hunting
young Cornwell.
Kelly's wife saw the condition that
he was in and begged him to lay
down, which he did.
Did Not Lose Consciousness.
Kelly did not lose consciousness,
and recognized all of his farmhands
that came to see him that night.
He was operated on the same night
and has been lingering since under
the care Of Drs. J. w. Team Of Ridge
vay Grisby of Blaney and Watson
Of Columbia.
DR.. Team stated over the phone
this afternoon that Kelly had been
losing ground for the past few days,
and that he did not think that he
could last much longer.
He said that a piece Of brain as
big as a hens egg was projecting out
of the hatchet wound and that it
was impossible to get it back, and
that his right side was completely
paralyzed.
The side of the body opposite a
brain wound of this kind is where
the paralysis sets in.
Somewhat Similar Case
The wounding of Mr.. Anderson, a
section master, which occurred here
last year, is somewhat similar to this.
Mr.. Anderson was struck by one Of
his negro laborers with an axe, ex-
posing the brain on one side of the
head. He hovered between life and
death for several months. He was
operated on at a hospital in Rock
Hill and is now able to walk around,
although he is partly paralyzed on
one side.
Cornwell, who is in Jail here, says
that Kelly has no hard feelings to-
ward him, and that if he lives there
will be no prosecution. He says that
Kelly was drunk and that he Corn

the house.
