TWO MARSHALS
Wl Enforced i,w and Order and

From Outing.
Smith had gone his fearless ve.ay
among bad men of every description
and had first made himself and then
the law respected. But as soon as it
svaa noised along the oattle trail that
Cm Ith had been made marshal of Abi
lene there was, figuratively speaking, a
Singing of fringed gauntlets into the
arena. Placards calling on all visitors
to Abilene to give up their guns when
In the town limits were contemptu
ously shot to pieces, and finally con
clusions with the new marshal himself
were forced. A bunch of cowboys,
beaded by a huge bully whose boot
tops bore the lone star of Texas, con
gregated defiantly In front of a saloon.
With revolvers aggressively displayed.
“You’ll have to give up your guns,
boys," said the new marshal, advancing
toward the leader, as he spoke.
The bully, wiaxlng profanely abusive,
made that back-reaching movement
which Is known In the West as a “gun
play,” but he had allowed Smith to
oome too near. Smith's big fist shot
forward, catching the cowboy full In
the Jaw, end sending him down like a
well-roped steer. The science of the
prise ring Is something practically un
known to the average cowboy. Conse
quently, Tom Smith, who wus an ex
pert boxer, had wisely chosen a method
of attack which would prove a sur
prise. Had he reached for hts gun
rlisn the bully made his ’’plsy” there Is
ho doubt that Smith's maraheishlp
Would have ended then and there and

were so amazed at the quickness with
which the blow had been struck and
the corresponding suddenness with
whloh their champion had sunk sense
less to the dust, that they could only
stand In open-mouthed amazement
when Smith completed his work by
standing over the prostrate Texan and
relieving him of his weapons. Nor was
there any sign of protest when the new
marshal quietly Informed the "boys”
that they would have to deposit their
weapons at a certain place and at once.
The weapons were quietly surrendered,
to be called for when the cowboys de
parted, and that day and night, for
the first time in Its wild career, the
oow-town of Abilene was filled with
men who were weaponless. The law
had spoken through brave Tom Smith,
and the reign of the “bad man” In the
West was no longer undisputed.
Tom Smith’s successor as marshal of
Abilene wus hie very antithesis—Wild
Hill Hlckock. A plnk-and-whlte giant,
with long, shining curls hanging to hla
shoulders, the very appearance of this
hawk-faced artist in gun-play argued
of the foot-lights. No man has ever
been his equal In handling firearms,
but, once the Information was spread
abroad that Abilene had a marshal
who was a revolver expert, there was
no lack of Doubting Thomases eager
to put Wild BUI to the test. Conse
quently, Hlekock’s guns seldom saw a
week of sflencc. Quarrels were picked
with him, with the Intention of en
eneompasslng his death, but he drop
ped his man so Invariably that finally
none but methods of assassination
were employed.
Late in 1171, when several Texane
were preparing to return to their state
after having sold their trail herd at
Abilene, an effort was made to put the
picturesque marshal out of the way. A
gambler and bully named Phil Cola,

Foye & Eckstein.
Texas as a man-killer, and who lftd
been drinking heavily in the hope of
raising his courage to the point where
he could make good his frequent
threats against Wild Bill, took a shot
at Hlckock as the marshal was leaning
against a table In a saloon. Wild Bill
offered a fair mark, but such was
Cole’s trepidation that his shot went
wide. Instantly one of Hickock’s
guns spoke, and Cole dropped to the
sidewalk with a bullet In his abdomen.
Rushing into the street. Wild BUI
stood over the prostrate body of his
foe. Footsteps were heard and the
marshal saw the glint of a gun In
some one’s hand. Knowing that Cole's
supporters had sworn to kill him at
the first opportunity, and thinking that
the approaching individual was one of
the Texans. Wild BUI fired both revol
vers. It was a famous trick of his,
this shooting right and left from the
waist-Une. and never did this mar
velous marksman miss his aim with
either hand. This time he dropped his
man with two bullet wounds in the
breast so close together that they could
be covered with the palm of a man’s
hand. The man who was shot proved
to be Mike McWilliams, a deputy msr
shul of Abilene and one of Wild Bill’s
best friends. Wild Bill never got over
hts remorse at killing McWilliams, and
he showed his grief so plainly that the
people let him continue as marshal,
though there was some murmuring
against a man who made such fatul
mistakes,

THE ISLAND OF ST. VINCENT.
How Nature la Reasserting Itself Af
ter Volennlc Dtstnrtinnces.
From the London Times.
As I have Just returned from a fort
night’s tour in St. Vincent, during
which I had opportunities of seeing the
greater part of the island, it may be
interesting to the readers of the Times
to know how far the ordinary pro
cesses of nature have begun to reas
sert themselves since the cessation of
the volcanic disturbances. The first
thing that one notices is the remarka
ble luxuriance of the green growth of
vegetation of nil kinds. It is true that
a vast quantity of unassimilated
glassy ash Is visible everywhere, pain
ful to the eye and burning to the feet
—very different from the cool, restful,
dull blackness of the soil that I re
member two or three years ago. But
wherever the ash has mixed well in
the soil It seems to have had some fer
tilizing effect, notwlthstanlng the as
sertions of the analysts.
But the havoc which has been
wrought among the smaller life of In
sect and bird Is deplorable. I saw no
lizards In the grasses, only the scant- !
lest show of fireflies at dusk, far fewer I
butterflies and far fewer humming
birds. All the high ridges of the moun
tains are denuded of the tail forest |
trees and palms which used to clothe !
their summits. This Is, of course, due I
to the hurricane of 189*. previously one
rarely saw the bare outline of an es- '
carpment silhouetted against the brll- I
I lari t sky; wrinkled waves of foliage
alone marked the configuration; but
now the pretence of a large tree Is the '
exception, and even then It ehowt

pleasanter to rid* through the new set- I

SILKS, DRESS GOODS, ETC
Incomparable Offerings.
We firmly believe that Silks and Dress Goods are the
test gauge of the character of every business in which dry
goods are dealt in, for this reason, we have never ceased
striving to place these departments in the very first rank.,
We feel that we have accomplished our object. The prop
er selection of both lines calls for better judgment; great
er discrimination and accuracy of knowledge of qualities
and colorings than any other branch of the business, there
fore by these stocks we ask you to judge us with critical
judgment. There can be no better stocks anywhere than
we are showing. Surely nothing in Savannah approaches
them, we keep in constant touch with the latest fashions.

hurricane and from the volcanic erup
tions. The wisdom of the Executive In
removing the dwellers In the extreme
north of the Island and finding them
homes outside what was then a danger
ous locality was fully Justified by after
events, although a considerable amount
of sore feeling and dissatisfaction was
created at the time. But, like many
of the sufferers from the storm In Bar
bados, the deported families are now
better housed than ever before in their
I lives. The new villages, with their
| neat cabins and plots of larid, decorate
1 the fertile slopes and add undoubted
picturesqueness to the leeward side of
the Island.
But what of La Souffrlere herself?
Her last utterance was in March, 1903,
and there is every sign that she is
composing herself for another long
slumber—how long or how short no
man can say. Still, the lake In the
bosom of the crater is once again fill
ing, and this Is considered to be a
token and promise of good behavior.
The ascent of La Souffrlere can no
longer be made by the old route from
Chateau Belalr; one Is obliged to go
further north to Walllbou, and thence
begin the long climb of nearly 4,000
feet. The scene from the summit re
minds one, in Its gloom and desola
tion, of the neighborhood of the Cities
of the Plain. Not a bird, not an Insect,
not a tree—saved a few charred
stumps—can be seen. A black wall of
pttchllke looking cliffs confronts one
where all used to be verdure and thick
scrub, and through the broken rocks
a glimpse of the smaller and unused
crater now appears, the old knife
edged partition which formerly divid
ed the two oraters having been par
tially destroyed In the violent par
oxysm of ths last sruptlons. On ths
slopes lower down chimneys, oattle
pans, boiling housss and nsgro cabins
oan be discerned sticking on odd stone

mud, where It has been scoured away
by the torrential rains.
And yet amid all this destruction and
desolation there are the beginnings of
a fresh era to be welcomed. Already
on the lowest sands there Is a profu
sion of silver ferns, no gold ones, as
I had hoped (and not unreasonably
expected), and guinea grass, sweet po
tatoes and cassava are springing, self
sown, on the ridges up to 1,000 feet.
Given five years of undisturbed natural
processes, I see no reason why the
north of the island should not once
again be as cultivable, fertile and hab-
Hable as It was In the half cen
tury preceding the eruptions of 1902-’O3.
THE MARINER AND THE SEA.
0
On the Trained Skill et the Senman
Depends the Victory.
From R. F. Zogbaum’s “Our Modern
Blue-Jacket” In the Century.
While It is true that the mariner Is
no longer dependent upon his skill and
ability to handle and move his ship
by means of a force of nature he can
not control, and though human Ingen
uity has given him a machine combin
ing In Its mechanism the forces of the
air, the fire and the lightning, enabling
It to come and go by day or night
wherever there Is water enough under
the keel to float It, the sea ever remains
the same, and the domination over Its
mighty power will always be the prob
lem of him who goes down to It. The
some stoutness of heart, the name
quickness of brain, the same skill In
reading current end tide, the same re
sourceful readiness under all condi
tions to wind and wave, fog, storm,
or battle, that have so conspicuously
marked the achievements of the Ameri
DOMESTICS.

can naval seaman of the past must
to-day meet tests of seamanship as
rigid in their requirements as ever be
fore.
All of the ship’s company—machin
ist, fireman or coal-passer down where
the engines t'hrob and thrust; yeoman,
steward and messman In the narrow
ammunition passages below; marine In
military top and battery; every soul on
board, each In his way—form the units
of the fighting whole; all must face
alike with equal courage and devo
tion the danger and terror of battle.
But it Is on the trained skill of the
seaman—he who mans the ship's weap
ons on gun deck. In turret and torpedo
room; who manages and navigates, di
rects and controls every movement of
his craft, battleship or cruiser, tor
pedo boat or submarine—that mainly
depend the triumph of victory, the safe
ty and security of vessel and crew.
Quick, ready and resourceful as was
the nimble topman and the tarry-hand
ed, curve-fingered hauler of sheet and
bowline, another “handy man,” equal
ly adroit, expert and efficient, but with
complicated duties requiring education
and training such as his forebears
never dreamed of, succeeds them In
the person of the blue-jacket—seaman
and artificer—of the times In which we
live. While on almost any of the big
ships may still be found some sturdy
survivors of the old navy—some level
headed, oaken-hearted master at arms,
some hard-fisted, sea-worn chief quar
termaster; some canny, handy gunner's
or carpenter’s mate, for, anomalous as
It may seem, the carpenter and his
mates still have their hands full of
work even on the newest of steel ships
—the youth of the great moss of the
crew's Is apparent even to the casual
visitor; and while some of the dlsad
ventages of youth may be evident In
our young man-of-war's-man, take him
by and targe, he Is an excellent pro
duot of the oondltlons of naval llfa of
ths present dag.
