Entertained at Tea.

One of the prettiest affairs in point
of decoration given in Bainbridge in
some time was the Japanese Tea at
which Mrs. Chas. Parker and Mrs.
T. A. Ausley were the hostesses. The
honor guests of the occasion were
the members of Mrs. Fudge's house
party and Mrs. Atticus Parker.
The room in which the tea was
served was a perfect bower of trail
ing smilax and wisteria, lighted with
japanese lanterns. The charming
matrons who presided over this room
were attired in their Japanese cos
tunes. The dining room was beautl-
fully decorated in wild crab apple
blossoms and the parlors adjoining,
with dogwood. One almost felt, on
entering this home that she was
transplanted into the woods them
selves. so luxuriant we're the spring

Whaley and Hughes Run Again.

The next representative from the
First South Carolina congressional
district in succession to the late
George S. Legare will be man from
Charleston, either Richard S. Wha-
ley, ex-speaker of the house, or E.
w. Hughes, former member OF the
legislature. These two, with Char
leston's tremendous vote welding
the major influence on the primary,
we're the leaders in the first primary,
held yesterday, and they will make
the second race for the nomination.
The vote last night stood: Whaley
2,951, Hughes 2,7S7. The other can
didates were: J. G. Padgett, Wal
terboro, 1888; George F. von-Kol-
nitz, Charleston, 1874; John H. Peu-
rifoy, Walterboro, LILA.
The vote polled was as heavy as
could be expected, though of course
it fell far below that in the last prl-
mary.
The second primary will be held
April Is.
The most noticeable feature was
the preponderating vote of Charles
ton, by far the largest county in the
district. That county, with ten coun-
try boxes missing, was seen to have
cast 5,175 votes, distributed almost
entirely among the three city candi-
dates-Messrs. Hughes, Whaley and
yonKolnitz.
The total vote so far reported-94
out of 1875 boxes, the missing pre-
cincts being small-is 9,576.

THE FIRST PRINTING PRESS.
Its Most Notable Work Was John
ElliOtt'S Bible.

1t is not generally known that the
first printing press which was set up
in America north of Mexico was the
Harvard college press. The establish
ment of the Harvard University Press
brings that forgotten bit of history 70
mind. The donor was one Joseph Glo-
yer, as ell present students of print
ing may chalk down in their note
book. He was Dutchman, who died
on the passage across the ocean while
he was bringing the press to the new
world. This was in 1889.
All praise to Mrs. Glover, who,
nothing daunted by the death of her
husband, came to New Town, as Cam
bridge was then known, bought lit
tie piece of land and engaged Ste
phen Daye-another name for the
chroniclers to make memo of and
underscore-and began to take busi-
ness orders.
The energetic Mrs. Glover didn't re-
main a widow very long. President
Dunster became interested first in the
printing of university publications,
then in the fair publisher, and he
shortly married her. The press was
transferred to his house, and he su-
perintended the business. According
to Quincy. the first publication IN
British North America, done on the
Glover press, was "The Freeman's S
Oath" THE Bay Psalm Book a
catechism, THE Laws and Liberties
of the Colony" and an almanac were
some other publications that issued
from the Dunster house. In 1858,
after the press had been taken over
by the commissioners of the United
Colonies, it printed it's most notable
work, John Elliott's Indian Bible.

A Model Husband.

A certain young woman who does
much charitable work recently called
on a sick woman and incidentally in
quired, with a view to further relief.
as to her family.
"Is your husband kind to you?''
she wanted to know.
"Oh, yes indeed, miss" was the as
suring response; "he is kind-very
indeed; you might say that he is
more like a friend than a husband.

WAS A MODERN PIRATE.
Bully Hayes, Rover of the South Pa
cific. Had a Remarkable Career.


cific, Had Remarkable Career.
Bully Hayes, the South Pacific pi-
rate, as he was called, was frequent.
er of San Francisco Harbor, and be-
came the most notorious character in
the whole Pacific. Over feet
inches in height, he was possessed
of immense physical strength, and of
this he was extremely proud. He
was also a handsome man, with
bright blue eyes, strong nose, we'll
cut mouth, large mustache and long
clustering hair. The most marked
feature in his character was his tenn
per, which, when once reused, passed
entirely out of his control In these
moments of ungovernable rage he
became little short of madman.
His smiling face would assume the
look of a demon, his eyes became al
most black, and his face flushed to a
deep purple. At such times he would
do deeds of the greatest cruelty, not
scrupling to take the life of those
who offe.d .ded him. Possessed of con-
siderable culture, speaking German,
French and Spanish fluently, his
scandalous performances had made
him an outlaw in almost every. civil
lized port.
Sharp lookout was kept for him at
Melbourne, in consequence of an un-
scrupulouseraud he played there on
the occasion of a previous visit. He1
had shipped 800 Chinese at Hong
kong for Melbourne. At that time
port tax of $40 each was paid by
every Chinese landing at that port.
Before going on board the Chinese
had each paid Hayes their $40, as
we'll as the charges for the voyage;
but the knavish Captain had no
thought or intention of paying over
tc the Australian Government the
large amount he had received as poll
tax, amounting in all to something
like 5000 pounds.
When the port was within sight he
contrived with the assistance of his
carpenter, almost to scuttle the YES
sci by making large hole in the side.
In an apparently water-logged and
sinking condition the vessel slowly
entered the harbor. Hayes then had
a flag of distress hoisted, Immediate
ly the pilot and number of tugboats
put out to their assistance. When
they came alongside the Captain
shouted, telling them of his sinking
and hopeless condition. For mercy's
sake" said he, don't stop to tow us
to the shore, but save these hundreds
of poor distracted creatures by get
ting them on shore at once in your
boat. I care nothing about my own
life, if you will only save these poor
fellows. Then, when they are on
shore, come Immediately for us, IN
the meantime we will work away at
the pumps and try to keep the ship
afloat.'
Accordingly, the 800 Chinese were
transhipped into the tugboats and
conveyed to the nearest landing place
which was several miles away. While
this way being done the hole in the
side of the ship was closed, and all
hands were put to work at the pumps.
Then when the last lot of Chinese
had been taken off the bow of the YES
sci was turned seaward and away
went the ship with Captain Hayes
and his crew. He had managed to
land 800 Chinese and yet keep the
5000 pounds poll tax for himself. 1t
was a cruel business for the pilot
company, who had to pay the poll
tax themselves, and were nearly ruin
ed thereby.

safe for tonight. Let us make a last
effort"
We struggled for quarter of an
hour perhaps, then my strength fall

I stumbled and was unable to rise. |
heard howl quite near my face, saw
the glowing eyes and glistening teeth
of the beast, then my companion
fired his last shot, the wolf fell and
was Immediately torn to pieces by its
ferocious fellows.
My companion took hold of my arm,
dragged me inside the chapel and
slammed the heavy door behind us.
We were safe, but it was dreadful
night that followed.
Though we were dead tired we had
to walk up and down the cold chapel
to escape freezing to death and all
night the storm roared and the
wolves howled and clawed at the
door.
We did not exchange many words,
neither of us felt like talking and
when dawn came we both prayed fer
vently, thanking God for our escape
from a terrible death.
1 suggested that we walk to the
village to get the food and sleep we
both needed so much.
NO" my companion said, Il must
go back"
"But not now, surely, exhausted
and starving as you are
YES he replied and bit his lips,
Il have no friends in the village.
"But there is an inn there, which
is open to any traveller who has mon
ey to pay for food and lodging, and
if you have none, I have enough for
both of us. Come along.'
my FRIEND" he said laying his
hands upon my shoulder and looking
into my eyes with strange smile, Il
will tell you secret, if you give me
your word of honor not to betray it to
anybody"
Upon my word of honor, com
rade,' I replied.
Then do not tell anyone that you
have spent the whole night long as
Giacomo Danieri's only companion.
"Giacomo Danieri! Are you really
the famous chief of bandits" I cried
increduously.
Il am but 1 have your word OF
honor that you will not betray me.
Now listen-you think this snow
storm was a calamity to you. You
have suffered much, have lost your
horse and have been very much de-
layed, but as matter of fact, the
blizzard saved your life. I knew who
YOU were and where you were going
and I joined you with the intention
of killing you, stealing your uniform
and papers and passing as courier
in your place. Then the blizzard
came and upset all my plans. Why
should I kill you when needed your
assistance to save my own life? |
would never have escaped the wolves
alone, you became my comrade, and |
was soon as anxious to save your life
as l had been determined to kill you.
l shall never forget you. Here is a
plain silver ripgA keep it and if you
are evey attackedby any of my gang.
the ring will give you free passage.
And now goodbye, for we must part.
Your ways are not mine"
He shook my hand cordially and
walked away calm and proudly erect
I never met my strange companion
again.
