Rock Hill tas had more than its share of entertainments this week. On Tuesday night was presented the “Pied Piper of Hemelin,” as dramatized by Mr. J. W. Tillinghast of Sumter. This was given un- der the auspices of the Catawba Rifles. The actors were all from Rock Hill, a fact which added mvch to the interest felt by the public. Unfortunately, or as one of the children remarked, as usual, the weath- er was very unfavorable, and the play was repeated on Wednesday night. Both per- fcrmances were much enjoyed. On the first night there was one scene that came near being entirely too real. The inhab- itants of Hamelin, incensed with their burgomaste: for the loss of their children, getermine to hang him. Mr. Samuel T. Frew was to act the part of “hanger.” As interded, there were two ropes; one, seen by the audience, appeared to be doing deadly work; the other, unseen, was to support the victim-and prevent damage, while keeping up ap) ces, Unfortunately the self-made sheriff fas- tened together the wrong ropes—the burg master swung in the air. A few minutes mcre would have ended his swinging for- ever. The arrangement was so effective that he could not even kick. When he was let down it appeared as if the Catawba Rifles would reed a new leutenant; the fire company a new engineer, and that ee undertaker would need his owrt professfon. al services. After some momemts. he was Festecttated. He declares that it. was pain- lets; in fact, that the sensai } jwere rather enjoyable, but so far as your cor- respondent -can learn no one‘else seéms eager to share his indulgence,:¢With: prac- tice, the execution on the second night re- sulted according to He Sharks Robbing Fishermen. | San Diego Dispatch to St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A commercial traveler of Engiand has unearthed a remintecence of Charles Dick- ens which is of interest. Speaking to some acquaintances he said: “I will tell you a little story which I have 1ever told to any one outside my own family. About forty-five years ago I was going my first round and at Gloucester station I had to wait two hours. I was traveling in jewelry and had with me a number of very valuable specimens. A lot of passengers were waiting and most of us went into the refreshment room, where @ very pretty young lady was serving out sandwiches and coffee. I was very young— uncer twenty—and in order to pass away the tire I chatted with the young lady as @ young man did in the old days, and z I suppose, any young man would do tod: and will for all time. Presently I opened my case and drew out a lady’s very hand- some watch, the back of which was stud- ded with diamonds. It was worth about $900. ‘How would you like me to make you a present of this?’ said I to the young lady. “Very much, indeed,’ said she, and took it and ran off with it, laughing. This drew general atténtion to me and my goods and I was soon surrounded. “It did not occur to me at the time how foolish I was to act like this in public, yet I was not sorry when the train came up and the expensive watch was handed back to me. I went out on the platform and a gentleman came up to me. ‘Are you going to Birmingham? said he. ‘Yes,’ I replied. ‘So am I,’ said he; ‘will you come into my carriage?’ Then it flashed upon me that the man had seen my goods and designed to rob me. ‘Certainly not,’ I replied, and jumped into a third-class carriage. But the stranger followed me. ‘You are smart enough in some ts,’ he remarked, ‘and you did quite right to refuse my in- vitation. But don’t be afraid. There at plenty of bad characters about, and it is best you should not trav lone tonight. And I want to tell you, as you are a young man and I am your elder, how very dan- serous your conduct has been.” Then the stranger talked so kindly and wisely that I could not possibly be offended. What he said has been a lesson to me all my life. At parting he held out his hand. ““I should like to know your name,’ said ‘for. you have acted as a true friend. ‘There is my card,” id he, and went. I never saw him again. The old gentleman opened his pocket book, and unwrapped a card with the utmost care from the paper in which it was preserved. “That was *he nsme of the stranger,” said he. The card simply ran—“Charles Dickens.” ——_—_—__-+e+ Fishing by Electricity. From the New York Press, At a point a short Gistance below Gray's Island, in the Susquehanna, two boatmen in the past week noticed a large black bass clinging to a wire on the bottom of the river. As they rowed the boat nearer it did not frighten the fish away, and one of the men reached down into the shallow water end pulled the bass into the boat, at the same time experiencing a slight elec- trical shock. Investigation showed that the wire was connected with a telephone, but had become crossed in such a manner as to become “live.” The fish had snapped a piece of cotton cord and become fasten- The men procured an electrical bat- tery, and, fastening several bright pieces of string to a wire, turned on the current. 8 a result a number of large fish were caught. ie ee Heavy Damages for Broken Troth. a Ill, Dispatch to the St. Louis Globe- Democrat.
