UNABLE TO OBTAIN BREAD.
Stock Of Flour Said to Be Running
Low in Vienna.

Venice, March 1S.-Reports from
Vienna say that thousands in the
the Austrian capital were unable to
obtain bread Tuesday. Stocks of
flour are declared so meagre that in
many places bakers found it impos-
sible to make bread. even with the
lesser quantity prescribed by the de-
cree.
Bread everywhere speedily was
sold out, especially in the suburbs,
and late customers, unable to obtain
their portions, are said to have
stormed the baker shops. The au-
thorities are reported to have en-
deavored to calm the people by de-
claring that the bread shortage was
only temporary. Bread and flour
tickets will be issued in Vienna and
in all towns in Austria with popula-
ton of more than 5000 beginning
April 4.

Who the Uhlans Are.

The Uhlans, of whom we hear so
much just now, may be taken as a
title descriptive of German calvary
in general. The name has struck be-
cause of the fame which they attain
ed by their dash and bravery during
the Franco-German war. But the
Uhlans, or, as it is generally spelled
now, Ulans, are a distictive corps.
The name is by no means distinctive
ly German. A body of Uhlans was
formed for the French army by Mar
shall SAKE. They were introduced in
to the Prussian service in 174O, and
forty years later the Austrians also
had a corps of Uhlans-light caval-
ry armed with the lance. The
modern Uhlans may be classed with
the heavy cavalry, for they ride at
over twenty stone.

Woman.

Abbeville, March 17.-An aged
woman was struck on the head by a
negro named Logan as she lay in
her bed at her home near Lowndes-
Vile last night, and died from the ef-
fects of the blow about l o'clock to-
day. Logan has been arrested and
was hurried away to Columbia to

negro also to Columbia.

Richland Body Questioned Concern.
ing Nepotism.

Columbia, March 1S.-The Rich
land county dispensary board was
called before Governor Manning this
afternoon and questioned about COM
plants that there has been fragrant
nepotism practiced by them, in that
they have elected a number of en-
ployees of the dispensary who are
kin to the board. This they denied.
except in the case of Ben Harrison.
a dispenser on Assembly street,
whom they admitted was kin to Mr..
Duncan, member of the board.
They said if the governor dlsap-
proved of this choice they would Sc
lect another. The governor, it is
understood, emphatically disap-
proves of any forms of nepotism.
The governor told the board that
he would not commission Thompson
as dispenser. at Eastover and they
might as we'll end the matter. He
told the board that they are respon-
sible for all the employees and that,
no matter what recommendations
the employees had, it was up to the
board to investigate each and every
one of them and to make it certain
that the applicant was worthy and
efficient. The governor told the
board that they would he held re-
sponsible.
Messrs J. S. Werner and ]. w. H.
Duncan, two members of the board,
were present. S. T. Westbury, the
other member, was out of the city
and could not be present. The gov
ernor told the board that he would
call them to his Office for another
conference when Mr.. Westbury re-
turns.
There has been much dissatisfac-
tion expressed in Columbia by GER
tain citizens because of the election
of dispensers and other employees
of the dispensaries. on the alleged
ground that nepotism was shown and
it has been charged that five of the
dispensers were kin to the board.
