He Was Conscious to the Last As to Ills Successor Gov. Ellerbe Will Act at the Proper Time. i : A dispatch from Greenville, South Carolina, last Thursday heralded the sad news that Senator Joseph H. Earle had succumbed to Bright' s disease after weeks of suffering-, but was conscious to the last and bid farewell to a devoted family which had gathered around his" bedside. j When Senator Earle went to Wash ington in March he . was in his usual good health. About two months ago he made his first public utterance in the Senate, supporting a resolution which he offered, looking to the organ ization of the Senate committees. The strenghth of his position in that mat ter brought him at once into national prominence. But he was almost imme diately attacked by what proved to be his last illness, and, failing to rally, his physician advised his returning to Greenville. Below is a short sketch of his life: JOSEPH i H. EARLE ' was born at Greenville, S. C, April 30, 1847. He lost his parents early in life and went to reside with an uncle ; at Sumter, S. C. , where he attended the common schools until the breaking out of the war in 1861.1 He entered the Con federate army while a mere boy and stayed the whole j four years. At the close of it he was a member of Charles' Battery of Light ;Artillery, Johnson's army. Soon after the war he returned to Greenville and entered Furman Uni versity and completed his education. He then taught school in Greenville county foi three j-ears, reading law at the same time. About this time he was happily married to Miss Annie Earle, daughter of Mr. Bayhss Earle, of An derson, she being a distant relative of his. He next moved to Sumter and was admitted to the bar in 1870. Eight ? rears after he was) elected to the legis ature from Sumter county and in 1882 was elected State Senator from this county; he was a del egate to the national Democratic convention in 1880 and 1884; in 1886 he was elected attorney general of the State and re-elected to this office in 1888. In 1890 Senator Earle opposed B. R. Tillman for Governor at the time when TillmanisnA was at blood heat; he was defeated. Just four years liter he was elected circuit judge, which office he held at the time he was elected over J ohn Gary Evans ( to succeed J. L. M. Irby in the United States Senate in November, 1896. I He took his - seat January 27, 1897. He has held his posi tion as Senator about five months and stayed kt his post manfully tmtil the yery last. j - A PUBLIC CALAMITY. Governor Ellerbe, of South Carolina, was much shocked to hear of Senator Earle's death. As a matter of course ho is having nothing to say at this timo of the possibility of his "successor, al though he fully realizes that it is a mat ter of great moment to the Democratic party to fill the place thus made vacant by the hand of death at the very earliest possible moment. I The power of ap pointment is vested in him. and in him alone, and he will act when tho proper time has elapsed in accordance with the power invested in him and for the best interests of the State. ! CONGRESSIONAL- ACTION. At Washington on receipt of the news of the death of Senator Earle, Senator Tillman called on the Vice President in regard to the appointment of a committee to represent the Senate at the funeral. Mr. Hobart named the following as a committee: Messrs. Tillman, Clay of Georgia, Chandler of ew Hampshire, McEnery of Louisi ana, and Harris of Kansas. S eaker Heed appointed a committee to repre sent the House. I i KICK PliANTKHS KETURN. Have Hopes of a Tariff Duty Matter Rests With Finance Committee. The Charleston,1 S.

A SPANISH DUKLt. it Will Be Fought as Result of Discussion of the American Belljr. erency Resolution in the Spanish Senate. ! Madrid, May 21. (By Cable) The exciting incident in the Spanish Senate, which culminated in a free fight today waa provoked by the statement of the Duke of Tetuan that Senator SagaaU's speech the other day to the Liberals had contributed to bring about the rote in the American Senate. Gen. Lius Pando, said: "The thing now happening is due to the cowardice and feebleness of the government. " Senator Comas said: "You will dis cuss that tomorrow." i "We will discuaa it,", replied the Duke of Tetuan, "but I will accept dictation from ncbody." "Nor I, either," retorted Senor Co mas, at the top of his -voice. At this point the Duke of Tetuan, pale with excitement, boxed both ears sf Senor Comas and felled him to the floor. The son of Comas threw him self upon the Duke and struck him a blow with his fist. Several Senators intervened and a general scuffle ensued. The Senate adjourned in confusion.

Comptroller of the Currency James n. Eckels delivered an address before the Bankers Association, in session at Nashville, Tenn., and a large number of prominent citizens. He, said in his opinion the South should, be as rich and prosperous as any other section of the republic. The way to bring this about was to assure the capitalists! of the North thfift investments would ibe safe in the South and returns would be re ceived. Mr. Eckels dwelt especially upon the necessity of a sound svstem of banking, and insisted that banks should be encouraged in every com munity, as they gave efficiency to idle money.

Make It right to sell whisky, and nothing else can be wrong. Every man who thinks he can deceive God has already de ceived himself. The man who minds his own busi ness will always hare something to do. Step where God tells you to, and you will find your foot planted on the rock. The prayer that comes from a broken heart goes straight to the heart of God. The more grateful we are for our blessings, the smaller our trials will look. If God gives us much to do or endure It means that he will also give us much grace. If we do too much for our children they will neTer be able to do much for themselves.! ' It Is hard to convince some preach ers that they are not needed most where the pay Is the best. It would puzzle an angel to make out what some people mean when they say, "Thy kingdom come." Heaven's windows are still waiting to fly open for the man who will take the last tithe to the storehouse. There Is nothing In the Bible to en courage anybody In thinking that he can be saved by his own good works. The preacher whose only usefulness lies in his ability to cure insomnia In his hearers, has misunderstood his call. There is much praying done In pub lic and private that falls short of a genuine calling on the name of the Lord. Men have no patience with the man who falls at a vital point, but God bears with him, and gives him another chance. . One of the biggest fools In the world Is the man who thinks the devil won't get him because his wife belongs to church. Many a man who. begins what he considers a promising Journey In the Jericho road, meets the robbers at the first bend. There Is something wrong with tho man who goes home from church mad, whenever the preaching Is aimed squarely at lhe face of sin. Yaat Like Chicago.
