Good Manners Jn Children.
It is no wonder that there are so
many ill bred men and women in the
world when one sees the lack of pains
taken by parents to instruct their lit
tle ones in forms of table and social
etiquette that are so easily taught to
the pliable infant mind, but which,
left unnoticed, are soon supplanted by
actions that become bad habits in a very
short time.
It is no unusual sight to behold a
child drinking from its saucer with no
word of admonition from the mother
or nurse who sits near by. A thirsty
little one will drink from a cup in
which there is a spoon, and later years
will see no harm in continuing the
practice. Many a child eats with his
knife, and yet how’ easily could the
fork or spoon be substituted in its
place if the parents gave but a tiny
bit of attention to this branch of thier
chidren’s education.
Selfishness is fostered so easily
through a lack of watchfulness. The
gentler courtesies that count for so
much are not instilled in childhood,
and in later years the man or woman
is regarded as a bore. Good clothes
are not everything. Even good health
is not the one point desirable in a
child’s makeup. Good manners should
be added to health and attire in order
to gain a perfect ensemble that counts
for so much in the world’s judgment.
No one can estimate how great a
factor in life is the possession of good
manners. They are the open sesame
to the best of society. They are the
hall mark of the gentleman or lady,
but they must be acquired in infancy.

A STORM’S FURY.
Fearfni Havoc Wrought Along the Sontli
Atlantic Coast

Havoc at Other Points.
Information About Lemons.
Lemons make very refreshing and
thirst-quenching drinks, and the citric
acid they contain cools the blood. Al
though we as a rule think there is only-
one variety of lemons, there are really
two—Citrus lumia, the sweet lemon,
and Citrus limonum, the true lemon.
Citrus lumia is deficient in citric acid,
therefore these are pleasanter to suck
or eat, like oranges, than Citrus limo-
num. Eor drinks they require the
addition of citric acid.
The lemons that are hard and have
a slightly greenish hue contain the
most citric acid. Lemons unless fresh
soon get moldy—that is in a week or
so. To prevent them from doing this
they should not be allowed to touch
each other. If each is wrapped up in a
sheet of tissue paper, this cannot oc
cur. Some people put them in a
large stone jar, cover them with water
nud renew the water every three days,
or oftener if it smells. But the best
way is to buy them fresh—Philadel
phia Times.
Last Word.
A young girl once heard a bit of
wisdom from the lips of a very aged
woman—a woman who had rounded
the term of ninety years, and with
eyes still bright and clear looked out
upon the inrolling waters of eternity.
The girl was impressed by the empha
sis with which the venerable dame
' said to her, “Bessie, never insist on
having the last word.” The determi
nation to have the last word leads to
more quarrels and more bitterness of
feeling at home than almost
anything else in domestic life. The
fact is, that one may so control her
tongue and her eyes that she may al
low her opponent the pleasure of this
coveted concluding thrust and yet
placidly retain her own opinion, and
in the homely, colloquial parlance of
the upcounty, where one finds strong-
willed people living together in great
pence with the most pronounced diver
sity- of characteristics, “do as she’s a
mind to.”
Great Fairs of the World.
There have been nine great fairs oi
the world. The first great internation
al exposition was held in London, in
1851. The second world’s fair was
held at Paris, in 1855. The third was
held in London, in 1862. The fourth
was held in Paris, in 1857. The fifth
was in Vienna, in 1873. The Phila
delphia exposition of 1876, was the
sixth great display-. The seventh in
ternational fair was in Paris, in 1878.
The eigth fair was at Paris, in 1889.
The ninth, as all the world knows, is
in progress in Chicago,
Dainty Splashers.
A Savannah special says: Almost on
the anniversary of 1881, Savannah was
swept Sunday night by one of the se
verest storms it has ever known. The
storm, which had been predicted by
the weather bureau for several days,
began early in the afternoon and in
creased from then on until it reached
the climax between 11 and 12 o’clock
gunday night, having blown for eight
hours in a terrific hurricane. It be
gan raining early in the morning, but
only in’gusts. After the first fall it
ceased entirely for several hours, and
did not begin again until afternoon.
Then the work of destruction began
and lasted until-the storm had spent
its force. At midnight all the wharves
along the river front and Ocean Steam
ship company and Savannah, Florida
and Western railway wharves were
under water and the tide was still ris
ing rapidly.
A view of the city at daylight Mon
day morning revealed a scene of wreck
and ruin that surpassed that after the
great hurricane of 1881. The streets
were impassable from the debris.
Fallen trees, twisted roofs, masses of
brick, fences and broken limbs and
branches of trees, were piled across
the sidewalks and in the squares, and
broken wires hung in every direction.
It is impossible at present to estimate
the damage, as the result of the storm,
but it was very general, and it is safe
to say that it will go up in the hun
dreds of thousands, and perhaps high
er. Nearly everyone, if not quite all
the property owners in the city, have
been damaged to some extent, and
some to the extent of thousands.
FIFTY MISSING.
The list of fatalities is gradually
growing, and it is impossible to tell to
what extent it will go. Several bod
ies of drowned persons were picked up
during the morning, and searches are
now being made for others who are
missing. Every hour seems to bring
some new story of a death as a result
of the storm.
Fourteen people are known to be
dead, and forty or fifty others are re
ported missing, and it is supposed, as
nothing has been heard from them,
that their bodies will be found later.
In a summer cottage quite the effec
tive feature of every bedroom was the
washstaud splasher. A wide piece of
cottage drapery, shirred on a slender
gilt rod and suspended by white rib
bon bands, formed the background of
the toilet stand, falling to the floor
and coming well out on both sides.
The protection of the delicate wall
paper was perfect, and the graceful
banners imparted an airy effect that
added much to the prettiness of the
rooms.—New York 1’imes.
Character In the Eyebrows.
Highly arched eyebrows are said to
denote vivacity and brilliancy, level
brows, strength of intellect; regularly
curved eyebrows express cheerfulness;
square ones, deep thought; irregular,
fickleness, versatility, excitability;
raised at the inner corner, melancho
ly ; joined over the nose, an unsettled
mind; thick and bushy eyebrows de
note physical strength.—Philadelphia

A DOZEN VESSELS WRECKED.
Twelve barks and barken tines which
were anchored at quarantine station
were blown high and dry upon the
marsh, and some of them were carried
by the storm across the marshes on to
an island two miles distant from the
station. One of the vessels at Tybee
was completely capsized and three of
the clubhouses on the island were
blown entirely down. Others were
flooded and the people sought shelter
wherever they could. The wires are
all down and Savannah is almost shut
off from telegraphic communication
QUARANTINE DEMOLISHED.
The ruin at quarantine is immeas
urable. Nothing is standing where
one of the finest stations on the south
Atlantic was located except the doc
tors’ house, and how this weathered
the fearful gale is miraculous; the
wharves are gone, the new fumi
gating plant which has cost the city
so much money is in the bottom of
the sea, and nine vessels which were
waiting there for release to come to
the city are high and dry
the marsh, and no doubt will be total
wrecks. The Cosnine was the only
vessel which managed to keep afloat.
FOURTEEN DROWNED.
The tug Panlsen arrived in the city
at 5 o’clock Monday afternoon. She
brought up about sixty passengers
from Tybee. Mr. -Severs, one of them,
stated that four negroes engaged in
clearing the railroad tracks were
drowned. It is reported that eight of
the crew of a terrapin sloop which
went ashore on the south end were
drowned.
IIAVOO ON TYBEE.
The Hotel Tybee was considerably
damaged. Her verandas are gone and
so are the bathhouses. The Knights
of Pythias clubhouse was washed
away. Two of the cottages of the
Cottage Club are gone. The Butler
house is gone. Mr. Starr’s house
was washed into the woods. The
Ranche and Rambler clubhouses were
wrecked. The railroad track is clean
ed out. Henry Green’s house was
burned. George Bossell’s cottage was
swept out to sea. The north end was
practically cleaned out. The water
swept with tremendous force over this
part of the island, railroad tracks be
ing carried from 200 to 500 feet.
ILL FATED CHARLESTON.
A Charleston special says: While
the record of terror and ruin wrought
by the great disaster of 1885 remains
unbroken, Charleston has again stood
in the track of a cyclone which has
shaken the old city to her foundation
stones. The damage to property can
not be told and the loss of life is un
known.
The citizens awoke Monday morn
ing and gazed upon innumerable evi
dences of the hurricane which swept
over the city Sunday afternoon and
night. Uprooted trees, fallen roofs,
broken fences and in the less substan
tial parts of the town, wrecked sheds
and shanties were found everywhere.
A veritable cyclone with all the ter
rors which the word has for the people
of that section, swept up the coast and
across Charleston. Early Saturday
morning the dreaded signal was run
up, and the city held its breath hoping
that the storm might pass her by.
But the weather looked exceedingly
threatening Sunday morning, and
within a short time it became no long
er a doubt that the dreaded cyclone
was to decend upon the city in all its
fury. The craft lying at anchor in
the bay were first to take alarm, and
from all quarters of the harbor they
hurried to safety. The largest vessels,
no lest than the smallest craft, sought
protection from the angry tempest.
By 1 o’clock the storm burst- in
all its fury. Several casualties
to persons and much serious
damage is reported, but a complete
inventory can only be made after a
careful inspection of the territory ex
tending from the Ten Mile house to
the Battery. Every wire in the city
was prostrated; thousands of trees
were denuded of '-their foliage and
limbs blown entirely down. A hun
dred houses were unroofed and a num
ber of frame buildings wrecked. The
Charleston lead wori"> were seriously
damaged, and the property in the
neighborhood of Charleston neck was
injured to the extent of $1,000,000. Es
timates in the city are impossible.
Half of the streets are impassable on
account of fallen trees, telegraph poles
and timbers. Serious fears are enter
tained for the inhabitants of Sullivan’s
island and the coast. Tha former
place was last heard from at 3 p.
Sunday. Communication is now sus
pended.
THE BLOW AT AUGUSTA.
An Angnsta, Ga., special says
Sunday night’s storm was the worst
thaFever visited Angnsta within the
recollection of the oldest citizens. It
was a violent wind storm, accompanied
by over three inches of rain which
fell down with great force. Men and
women were badly frightened and
filled with dread and fear of the re
sults. The roaring, blustering wind
traveled at a high velocity and swept
everything before it. It was a fright
ful night and made strong men timid.
People were not surprised upon look
ing out Monday morning to see trees
uprooted. Sidewalks were torn np by
the falling trees. Electrio light, fire
alarm and telephone wires were broken
down, and hanging signs were blown
away. All telegraphic communication
was shut off except to Atlanta. Crops
were badly damaged in the surround
ing country. Corn was blown down
and cotton whipped out. There was
no loss of life.
AT BRUNSWICK.
Following in the wake of the fever
and the famine, the elements heaped
destruction on the ill-fated oity of
Brunswick. Streets were flooded and
made impassable to pedestrians. The
storm did not stop until daybreak
Monday morning. Thousands of dol
lars damage was done along the coast.
The damage to the buildings in the
city is heavy.
FEARFUL IN FLORIDA.
Jacksonville, Fla., was struck by
the cyclone about daybreak Sunday
morning, which rapidly increased in
force and fury up to 4 o’clock p. m.
It traveled in a northwesterly direc
tion from the "West Indies.
It first struck the Florida coast at a
point south of Jupiter inlet. Its
course was still northwesterly, and it
traversed the whole eastern portion of
the peninsula, damaging property
more or less in a path forty to fifty
miles wide from the coast line west
ward.
In Jacksonville hundreds of trees
were blown down and scores of dwell
ings and public buildings were either
unroofed entirely or had the tin blown
from them. The most serious damage
was to the Park opera house and the
Ocean Street Presbyterian church.
At Mayport (mouth of St. John’s
river) all the buildings suffered more
or less, and the old Atlantic house was
demolished completely. At Pablo
beach the sea encroached upon the
railroad tracks and tli6 premesis of the
cottagers and the wind played Bad
havoc among them. All the telegraph
and telephone wires were blown down.
St. Augustine reports the water
coming in over the sea wall and dama
ging residences and business blocks.
About thirty or forty yachts and small
crafts were badly damaged, or com
pletely destroyed. The fate of other
localities in Florida as well as of the
outside territory invaded by the storm,
is still a sealed book. The wires are
down in every direction from Jack
sonville and communication with the
outside world was ausolutely cut off.
A Columbia special says: All South
Carolina was in the very teeth of the
storm. The state weather observer
6ays that nearly the entire early rice
crop has been destroyed and that cot
ton has been injured from 25 to 30 per
cent. The crops in this section are in
a distressing condition. Corn and
peas are ruined. Pasture fences have
been blown away and the cattle are
scattered everywhere. Barns and
cribs have been blown down, leaving
the forage exposed.
LATER PARTICULARS.
Specials of Tuesday from Savannah
state that the list of fatalities as the
result of Sunday’s storm is rapidly in
creasing. The City of Savannah,
which sailed from Boston Thursday,
is fifty hours overdue and no tidings
from her, whatever, have been receiv
ed. The Savannah is one of the old
est boats on the line. The William
Crane steamer from Baltimore reach
ed the city Thursday, but in a rather
bad condition. Her captain re
ports wreckage all along the coast
near Charleston. There were
cabin doors, spars, mats and parts of
vessels of all kinds. Whether any of
them were the remains of the City of
Savannah is not known, but the sup
position is that such was the case. The
passenger list has not yet arrived from
Boston and it is not known who were
on hoard.
Hutchinson’s island presents a scene
of devastation. The entire island is still
covered with water and several houses,
which were on the little farms across
the river, have disappeared from view.
The bank opposite the city is strewn
with the wrecks of dwelling, sheds and
old boats.
At the lumber wharves near Vale
Boyal considerable lumber was floated
off, but most of this can be recovered.
Had Tybee island been washed away
the demolition and destruction could
not have been much worse than it is.
Houses were blown down, burned,
washed away and otherwise demolish
ed. Six lives were lost on the island.
Numbers of colored people on
Hutchinson’s island are missing, and
it is believed that many more perished.
A party, consisting of C. A. Gradot,
George Schwarz, Harry Fender, "Wal
ter Robider and two others left Savan
nah Sunday morning on a “maroon”
and have not been heard from since.
The steamer Boellevue, sighted an
abandoned boat, bottom up,
which the friends of those in the ma
rooning party fear was their boat.
River men and others say that the full
list of those who were lost in the
storm will never be known except by
the missing of those who fail to' re
turn.
FIFTEEN WRECKS.
Fifteen vessels on the harbor and off
Tybee were wrecked or badly dam
aged. More than that number of
smaller crafts are missing and are be
lieved to have been lost.
The loss of life at Charleston has
been remarkably slight, considering
the fearful ravage which was done to
property in every quarter of the city.
The total death roll numbers six per
sons, three of whom met death in the
city and three on Sullivan’s island.
THE DAMAGE DONE.
It is difficult to give an estimate of
the damage done by the storm. The
following is a rough estimate: To
buildings, $100,000; vessels wrecked,
$150,000; damage to the railroads
leading out of the city, $100,000; dam
age to the rice crop, $200,000. The
interior tributary to Savannah is dam
aged probably to the ameuntof $1,000,-
000 or more, as the cotton crop over a
wide territory has suffered severely
and in many turpentine districts at
least one-fourth of the trees are des
troyed.
xne naai wave strucK l'ort noval an a
the damage to property is nothing in
comparison to the loss of life. Over
one hundred are known to have been
drowned and killed in Port Royal,
Beaufort, Seabrook and on Helena is
land.

After a Seven Days’ Battle With An.
gry Waves.
Dispatches of Wednesday night
state that the passengers and crew of
the City of Savannah have been res
cued and are safe, though the gallant
steamship is a total wreck.
After a seven days’ encounter with
the ocean at its angriest, and after
shipwreck on a storm-beaten coast the
passengers of the ill-fated ship were
rescued by the gallant steamer City of
Birmingham off Huntiug Island, on
the South Carolina coast.
Heartily and sincerely did Savan
nah rejoice when the news reached
the city, whose name the fated steam
ship bore, and a nation rejoiced with
her. A day of doubt and anxiety and
sorrow had the happiest possible
ending. As the gallant City of Bir
mingham steamed up to her dock,
bearing aloft the pennant of her
stricken sister and below that most
precious burden, her human freight,
cheer after cheer rang out from the
assembled throng to give her noble
welcome.
The rescue of the Savannah was the
feature of the day’s news from the
storm-swept coast region. In Savan
nah, in Atlanta, throughout the entire
country, the deepest interest was felt
all day in the fate of the long-past
due steamships. They had been given
up for lost; and just when everybody
began to give np in despair, the Bir
mingham, with the Savannah’s people
on board, reached her home.
The City of Savannah was the oldest
ship of the Ocean steamship fleet.
She was built in Chester, Pa., in 1877,
by John Rorch & Son. She was of
2,029 gross tons and 1,358 net. Her
engines were compound and were built
in 1877. She carried forty-six officers
and men. The steamer is a total loss.
No information yet about the cargo.

THE GOVERNOR’S PROCLAMATION.
Governor Tillman issned the fol
lowing proclamation at 11 o’clock
Thursday night: “Having received
the following telegram from J. H.
Averill, receiver of the Port Boyal
and Angnsta Railroad company con
veying the startling intelligence of an
appalling loss of life and a terrible
state of destitution upon the islands
upon the coast of this state resulting
from the terrible hurricane which the
Almighty in His judgment has visited

states, causing universal suffering:
“ •YtMASSEZ.N. C ,Angnst31.—To Hon. B. R.

Dun & Co.’s Report of Trade for the
Past Week.
R. G. Dun & Co. ’b weekly review of
trade says: The improvement ob
served last week has become much
more distinct and general. While ac
tual transactions have increased but
little, the change of public feeling is
noteworthy. There are fewer failures
either of bankers or of important com
mercial or manufacturing concerns,
than for some weeks past. Many dis
asters have been avoided by a more
general pooling of resources and a
greater spirit of mutual helpfulness
and forbearance than were some weeks
ago. One large stock failure for sev
eral million dollars was thus prevent
ed in Wall street on Thursday, and
the market for securities, though at
times depressed, by the closing of
heavy loans, has been extremely dull
without material decline.
Money on call is more abundant
and lower, as many interior loans
have been paid since the banks ceased
to send currency away, and advanced
the rates for renewing or extendin
such loans,but there is little relief as
respects mercantile accommodations,
as the use of the cheek in the place of
currency increases, and the secretary
of the treasury in answer to an inquiry,
has stated that no legal objection
exists to the use of sight drafts on
New York for small sums.
The difficulty of collections and the
interruption of exchanges are nearly as
serious as ever. The number of in
dustrial establishments resuming busi
ness begins to compare fairly with the
number stopping work. A little bet
ter demand appears for some products,
such as wire nails and barbed wire, of
which important producers have been
idle for nearly two months. But in
general the consumption has so far de
creased that the southern furnaces are
offering pig iron at very low figures
here, and standard makers in Penn
sylvania are contemplating a re
duction in prices. Though currency
is at a premium of 1 to 2 per cent,
the demand is less than a week
ago. Receipts of gold from Europe
during the past week have been
$6,700,000, but the Bank of England
has raised its rate to 5 per cent.,
which is expected to stop further
shipments of gold to this country and
the Bank of France has lost during the
past week about $1,600,000. The ab
sorption of money has not yet ceased,
and credit substitutes are in use as yet
poorly supply its place.
The failures for the past week num
ber 410 in the United States and
twenty in Canada. Of the commer
cial failures in the United States 149
were in eastern states, sixty-five in
southern and 180 in western.

The Industrial Situation for the Past
Week.
The review of the industrial sitnation in the
South for the past week shows that there is no
material change in industrial and financial con
ditions. The failnres reported for the week are
less in nnmber and importance than for the
Week preceding;.several of the batiks which had
suspended business have resumed pavments,
and others pive notice of an early intention so
to do, and in merchantilo business a slight im
provement is noled, especially in the hardware
trade.
Crop rejtorts, from all parts of tlr- South,
are generally favorable. Cotton is coming in
to market, bat not to a large (Xtcnt. The
price is too low to tempt farrm rs who are not
obliged to sell, an l Ibis ciasF is 1 rger at pres
ent than in any former season.
There are no reports of the establishment of
new industries of special importance. Twenty-
three new industries were established or incor
porated during the week, together with four
enlargements of manufactories, and nine im-
portantnew buildings.
Business generally throughout the South is
being conducted on a eons rvative basis, and is
considerably restrict! d. Credits are carefully
scrutinized, and while the volume of business
is small there is a prevai ing belief that the
worst is over, and tlfat improvement may be
expected henceforward. -1 radesman (Chatta-^

but in neither iMthe towns were many
lives lost. At Bleaufort only three
coffins were biHiglit to supply the
local demand, -*5ile Port Royal got
off ever light™ Around the two
towns there is fflihain of islands, and
it was upon th«- that the black angel
of death hoveJBl for hours Sunday
night, leavingB his path sorrow anil
desolation greMer than has ever visi
ted the state At ore, even in the bloody
days of reeomBaction.
The storm 7 Bs one of the most se
vere the peopBof the coast have ever
known. ThiBection of the Atlantic
coast has beeHirclific in storms that
scattered deMh and destruction of
property in tmhe wake, but the weath
er wise man, ■ tb oldest inhabitant, or
the coast pilci'f tannot recall anything
approaching j' it. It was a storm of
wind, rain a/nd hail, and the elements
seemed comlbined in their greatest fury.
The seas rjan high, and salt-water
waves were /driven by the heavy winds
as much a»s twenty miles inland.
House wereibl'wn away; trees were
torn from tliie tarth, leaving holes big
enough to hfiicba freight train, vessels
were dashecM a^inst the breakers and
thrown tipo^Lfe earth as much as five
miles from mf water edge.
The storin'' egan, really, Sunday
morning. »Th day came on with
heavy black! clads hanging over the
ports. An Migl’ wind started up about
10 o’clock fSmday morning, blowing
from the nfortieast. It increased as
the day grjbw on, and about noon a
cold, chilh# ran started. Long before
dark the pi-ope living along the coast
knew that la storm was inevitable but
none drealnet of the great extent it
assumed. I Lite in the evening the
wind took! or a great velocity, and as
the night ladtanced the great velocity
of the wiifid increased until it attained
a speed of 110 miles an hour at 3
o’clock, f And this is about the time
the City/ of Savannah went ashore.
But it was not until the next morning
that the /pecyple knew of the great and
terrible danger through which they
had passed. /
A glance/at the map will show that
around thei place of greatest disaster
there is a group of some twenty
islands^ Some of these are very small,
with only one or two families living
thereon, while others are larger and
accom/nod.ate as many inhabitants as
4,500./ St: Helena has a population of
4,500 1 Lady’s island, 1,500; Dawtha’s
islandi, 75 ; Coosaw island, 600 ; Beau
fort, iown, has a population of 3,600.
Port j Boyal island, embracing the
townji ot Beaufort and Boyal, has a
population of about 8,000.
! FOUR HUNDRED ARE DEAD.
As; far as reliable information which
has Reached the officers goes, the dead
will.number 400, and they are located
as follows: At the Pacific works sev-
eriH'-niqc bodies have been found and
Du Zed. On Lady’s island twenty-four
b(i-jies were buried on Tuesday and
otL'ers bay ■ been found since. On Paris
isltjlnd nineteen bodies had been recov
ered and buried ut> to Tnesdav noon.
t
On Beanfort island twelve bodies
halve been buried. At the Coosaw
in tines five bodies have been buried.
Alt Cain’s Neck twenty-two bodies have
bien recovered and buried, and re
ports are that seventy-nine lives were
hist there. On the Eustis place, one
tlf the richest plantations of Lady’s
island, forty-seven new made graves
ere tilled Wednesday morning. At
he other end of Lady’s island seven
thei dead bodies have been found. At
Daw ha’s island, a place of about
1,200 acres, eightv lives are reported
ost end nearly half that many bodies
have been recovered. In addition to
the list of those given elsewhere from
St. Eelena it is estimated that 150 lives
have been lost. On Warsaw island
reliable information has placed forty-
five in the grave. On hunting island,
the island off which the steamship
Citt of Savannah was wrecked, forty-
six are dead.
LOSS TO SHIPPING.
The loss to shipping around the im-
po riant islands is fearful. There are
eight dredges which were employed in
getting out phosphate rock by the
several companies engaged in this in
dustry. The largest one, the Kennedy,
cost $350,000. The others were not
so valuable, bnt all are beached high
and dry, or are bottom up and hope
less wrecks. Connected with these
dredges were woshboats and lighters.
There were something like three hun
dred of these, the average value being
about $2,000, and which are scattered
all over the marshes. Many of these
pan be recovered, but there are at least
fifty that are total wrecks.
I The damage to the phosphate indus
try, to shipping, warehouses, com-
tmerce, merchandise, dwellings and
(crops aronnd Beaufost and Port Royal
will go to $2,000,000. Add $1,000,000

Tampa, Fla., Wednesday. The quar
antine has been raised, but is now on
again.
A Knoxville dispatch says: News
comes from Sevier county of a terrific
freshet Monday. Pigeon river rose
fifteen feet in two hours, and water
flowed two feet deep in the streets of
Sevierville. Growing corn along the
river has been greatly damaged.
Major Campbell Brown, probably
the wealthiest live stock breeder in
Tennessee, committed suicide at Grand
Rapids, Mich., Wednesday, by shoot
ing himself through the head with a
32-ealiber revolver. Major Brown has
suffered from mental trouble for five
years and treatment has been without
permanent benefit.
Colonel Louis J. Dupree, one of the
best known newspaper men in the

Salvador under Cleveland’s first ad
ministration, died at Memphis, Tenn.,
Monday night. He was sixty-eight
years old and until his late sickness
has been editor of The Memphis

lars. His Danbury interests are ex
tensive. Hull is sick and may not live.
The Southern Passenger Associa-
tien at a meeting at Knoxville, Tenn.,
Wednesday declared the penal law in
effect regarding world’s fair rates to
Chicago. The trouble is between the
Memphis, Cumberland Gap and Louis
ville and East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroads. Both roads, it
seems, did some cutting and an iron
clad contract made Saturday last was
broken by both roads Monday.
The City of Savannah, of the
ton line, is ashore on jumtfSg island,
thirty miles off Beaufort, S. C. She
is a total wreck and is rapidly going to
pieces. Her passengers were received
by the City of Birmingham, of the
New York line, and carried to Savan
nah Wednesday night. The wrecked
passengers lost everything, some being
even without hats and coats. They
were provided for by the Ocean Steam
ship Company.
A Columbia, S. C., special of Wed
nesday says: The great storm has
passed and crone hut its effects will be
felt in the Palmetto State for the re-
remainder of this year, if not longer.
Wreck and ruin have followed in its
path everywhere. Dire disaster dawn3

ruin that has been wrought by the
raging winds and surging waters.

two weeks ago, resumed business
Monday morning, and from the hour
of opening until closing a heavy busi
ness was done, the old customers of
the bank coming forward to make de
posits and open their accounts with
the firm. This incident in the bank
ing history of the country is almost
without a parrallel. The entire com
munity rejoices over the resumption.
A Jacksonville special of Tuesday
says: The damage done by Sunday’s
cyclone was general throughout the
city and on the east coast of Florida,
bnt there was no serious loss at any
one point. The unroofing of the
Presbyterian church and the opera
house in Jacksonville and of Lynn’s
hotel, at St. Augustine, were the most
serious results of the storm. The loss
in Jacksonville will not exceed $25,-
000, and this is distributed probably
among 500 people, in various amounts.
Several thousand people wearing
Keeley badges, assembled in the spa

new organization takes in members
from Texas, Mississsppi, Arkansas,
Missouri and a few other states.

The Rich Arab’s Dress.
The rich man among the Arabs
dresses richly. His shirt is of fine
linen. His inside vest is buttoned,
the outside one worn loose. A long
paletot often takes the place of the
latter. It is cut part way down from
the neck, and the loose armholes allow
the arms to be held in or outside.
The wide trousers are bound about the
waist by a rich scarf. Over all is fre
quently worn the long loose tunic, cut
Y shape at the neck, and with short
sleeves low down. The hands are fre
quently kept inside—in winter for
warmth—and an Arab reaches out from
the Y at the neck for anything he
wants handed him with a peculiarly
limited motion which at first you fail
to comprehend. The burnoose is an
out-of-doors garment, and the fez may
or may not have the turban cloth.
The swell wears European socks,
and his slippers, usually trodden down
at the heel by the common or careless,
are handsomely embroidered or of fine
morocco, red or yellow. The calf is
naked. Parts of this dress are drop

How to Clean the Face.
Theatrical people know that oil
cleans the skin better than water.
Generally other people do not. If ac
tresses undertook to get their makeup
off with water, they would need soft
soap and a scrub brush to do it, and
the skin would inevitably come off
with it. They used once cocoa butter.
Now they use cocoa oil, which is a
better preparation of the same thing.
Drug stores keep it. Some keep, it
fresh, and some keep it rancid. Take
care not to patronize the second class,
and in cocoa oil you will have the most
delightful of all emollient for the oil
hath.
If you want to see how effective it
is, come in from a railway journey on
a hot day, when the windows have been
up and yon have had as much benefit
of the smoke and soot as the fireman.
Take the most vigorous hath you can
devise or endure, then spread some
cocoa oil on the face and rub it off.
The blackened towel will tell the tale
of failure for the bath and triumph for
the oil.—Poston Gazette.
