South CarOIina's Shame,

Cnder the above head the New
York Herald and several other pa
peras of not only the North but the
South have run editorials comments
ing upon the lynching OF the negro
at Honea Path. Whether it was
right or wrong to lynch the negro is
not the only thing to be considered.
South Carolina Is getting some very
undesirable advertising and the fol-
lowing from the New York Herald
In regard to the story of the lynch
ing, as told Of in the Anderson In I
telligencer, is enough to bring the
blush of shame to every true South
Carolinian:
After helping to kill the negro
Colonel Cheshire got out an extra
edition of his paper describing the
scene. Speaking Of this journalistic
feat. the editor says:
"The lynching took place at mid
night and two hours later the big
press was grinding out papers tell
ing Of the happy event
"He adds that he made news and
Intelligencer says:
THE Intelligercer not only goes
on recoruvas f,voring lynch law in
cases of attack upon women, hut
will take hand. as it did. in putting
quick end to such beasts.
Joshua w. Ashley, member of the
Legislature, admittedly took part in
the lynching. The coroner's jury
found that Jackson came to his
death at the hands of unknown per-
sons
Sometimes extreme moralists en-
tertain maudlin sympathics and run
into fears and frenzies on account
Of these outreges. basing their con-
clusions largely upon the probability
that innocent men have been made to
pay the penalty of the guilty on ac-
count Of the fury Of mob that has
lost its mental BALANCE and thirsts
for the blood Of man. In this in
stance. there is no such parallel. 1t
is granted that the right man was
caught and that the guilty was put
to death. The striking point in this
particular tragedy Is that the mob
was not constituted by an ordinary
crowd of ruffins and irresponsible
persons who are unconcerned at all
times over the enforcement Of the
law. Here Is an instance of the edi-
tor a paper lending his influence
and that Of his institution to an ac-
knowledged piece OF lawlessness.
Added IL this Is the alleged active
participate Of a member of the
State legislature in the pursuit Of
the criminal and more distressing
still is the statement which appeared
In some South Carolina papers after
the lynching that Governor Blease
had appeared In Honea Path some
months ago and virtually acknowl-
edged sympathy with lynch law.
Here lies the extreme seriousness Of
this immediate specimen Of crime.

not be right for a girl to be married
while she had an elder sister who re-

are thus naturally anxious TO see their

dispensable its provision is often a
matter Of serious anxiety and the fruit
Of great self denial on the part Of the

There are cases In which brothers

Origin Of the Coat Of Arms Of tho Earl
of Leinster.

Most of the wild animals have a
place in heraldry, aud many strange
and impossible creatures, such as grit
fms, dragons and uniforms, have been
invented US emblems of daring and
valor. But the donkey and the mon
key have not been 50 used. except In
one instance. where the monkey has
been admitted to the ranks Of titled
nobility. The story of this adoption
is told by Mr.. Curtis in his book.
Zone Irish Summer"
On the Leinstcr coat of arms are
three monkeys standing with plain
collar and chained; motto, "Crom-a-
boo," ITO Victory" This is the only
coat Of arms, am told, that has ever
borne a monkey in the design. 1t was
adopted by John Fitzthomas Fitzger-

A Sight That Checked Her Royal Ex.
travagance For Awhile.
We are accustomed to think that the
day is long past when sovereign
could Cypress and offend whole king
dom by personal extravaganza. But
the late Isabella of Spain belonged In
spirit to the sixteenth century. An in.
cident Of her reckless career-which
ended in the loss Of the throne-is not
cd in Munsey's Magazine.
She spent money. pouring it out like
water, at time when the treasury
was nearly bankrupt and when the
proverb Poor as a Spaniard" was
far too true. All her best advisers
urged her to practice economy. Very
few Of them succeeded. and these only
for short time.
A certain chamberlain of hers once
hit upon plan to make her realize
how enormous were the sums that she
was spending. Passing through the
hall Of the palace, she was surprised
to see a vast heap Of silver pieces, re-
sembling the contents Of a great bin
Of wheat, but piled up in the middle
of the floor. The queen summoned her
chamberlain.
"What is the meaning of all this
money!" she demanded of him.
"Oh," he replied, with low bow,
this IS merely the amount which l
have brought out to pay the bill Of
your majesty's glovemaker.'
The queen colored and then laughed.

extravagant In her expenditures for

Queer Methods Of q Queer Society In

OF all the queer clubs that exist In

Queerest in Lancashire, England. One
of these is called the Henpecked club.
As the title indicates, its members are
all males, and you can come across q
club in almost every Lancashire town
Of any size.
The meetings are held, as rule, In
some bar parlor, and the discussions
are about members and often non
members who have the reputation Of
being henpecked. When evidence has
been brought to show that particular
man has allowed himself to come TN.
der his wife's thumb they tax him with

Of a husband permitting his wife to

addressed is warned that If he con-
tiuues to stand the henpecking he will
be made the subject Of demonstra.

The announcement that "henpeck-
ed" club demonstration is to take place
is received in the district with mixed
feelings. The men applaud ii, and the
local police, recalling similar displays
that led to trouble, become little
anxious. On the evening appointed
the members Of the club meet at

EDWIN A. ABBEY'S BRILLIANT
CAREER ENDED.

The death of Edwin A. Abbey, which
has just occurred in London, calls to
mind to the older generation of Ameri-
cans the name of the man who stood in
the forefront of magazine illustrators
twenty years ago, and who were doing
so much to make periodical publications
the repository of the best art. There
was a charm and finish about his work
which has rarely been surpassed.
Since he joined the expatriates abroad
he had won an enduring name for him
self. His illustrations~o the HOLY
Grail in the Boston Public Library
could have no higher praise than that
they are worthy of their setting. The
climax of worldly honors came to him
when he was chosen to paint the coro-
nation ceremonies of King Edward VII.
The pageantry of the later coronation
has scarcely passed away when the
great artist himself enters into rest.
His life and work reflect the highest
credit upon his native country, where
his death is sincerely mourned. -
