Again Captain Anderson had to put
the ships head westward and heave
to, and at o'clock in the evening. in
trying once more to get under Way. it
was discovered that the rudder and
rudder post had been swept away and
that they were absolutely helpIess.
This discovery was made in latitude

state Of affairs was SO bad that after
the hatch was broken the Captain de-
clared it was only bya miracle they
could be saved. Indeed the crew had
suffered great privations, and although
food was plenty the difficulty was to
cook it, and sleep was mex. to impos-

After the rescue of the crew the
passengers of the Germanic held a

assisted in the p%erilous undertaking.
A fund for the assistance of the desti-

TnE political outlook is not very
fattering for Democratic success in
Tennessee next year, unless the dis
ccrdant elements can be harmonized.
Like ancient Gaul, the Democracy
Of Tennessee is now divided in tres
partes-the l00-3or coupon party. the
Compromise State Credit party and
Low Tax party. The 100 B men con-
stitute a small minority. but are
backed by the railroads and the
money power, -confrssedly a pow
sriul auxiliary, which the expert
ence Of the last Democratic Conven.
ton proved to be too formidable for
the people. This element is impcri-
Gus, domineering and uncompromis-
iDg, and would sacrifice the party for
success, because "thers's millions in
it, They will not fraternizc with
the other two clements, and VIC need
not expect it. The only hope of the
Democracy Of Tennessee is in the
union of the other two elements in
a common var against the 1908, and
after that great fraud is wiped out
then these two may unite upon some
plan Of honorable negotiation for a
final settlement Of the public debt. If
the Supreme Court shall declare the
1908 settlement final and conclusive,
aud there be no other chance for the
relief Of the people, then measures may
be concerted for union and harmony
looking to the permsnent aseendency
of the Democracy in Tennessee, which,
with all its dissensions upon this local
question, is upon all Others Demo.
cratic to the core. We believe the
people of Tennessee will never
be recOnciled to the 1908,
and that the freemen of
the State who value their liberties,
and who appreciate the representative
system Of government, had rather pay
the creditors 1905 than submit to the
wrong the coupon infamy has done
them. We warn the true Democracy,
once for all, that no peace is to be ex-
pected between them and the Coupon
party, and if they go into a convention
with this Coupon and railroad party
they will be crushed between the up
per and TIE aether milestone. They
had as we'll understand this, and shape
their conduct accordingly. The most
likely solution of the dilemma is that
the real State Credit men and the
Low Tax men viii unite their forces,
and the coupon Democrats, though
few in number, will go over to the
Radicals, where they naturally belong
on this question.

The Vast Estate Of the Boston
Millionaire Who Died In
Philadelphia.
philadelphia ToIerraph.l

Philadelphia telegraph
The late William Il. Weld, formerly
of Boston, who died inthis city on the
7th inst, left an estate which is now
estimated at the enormous aggregate
Of s2l, 600, 900. By his will, which
has been admitted to probate in Bos-
ton, he left $1,000, 900 to each Of his
four grane shildren--William L. Weld
third, Chlrlss G. Weld, a nine-year-
old daughter Of Mrs. Langden Pratt,
and 4 daughter of Captain G. H. Per-
kins, United States Army. To bis
wife he leaves $4,000 q year income,
also the sum Of 100000. To his
neices and nephews, twelve in number,
he leaves 81, 900 each. For charitable
purposes he leaves $1,000, $1,000 of
which is to be devoted to the Womans'
Hospital, Of Boston. To his two sons,
George w. and William H. Weld, he
leaves 100000 each. And finally,
$4,000 600 is to be paid. according to
the will, to the resident legatees.
At the time Mr., Weld came from
Boston to this city, where he intended
to reside until after May /, 1882, he
brought with him all his personal
property, bonds, etc., which he depos-
tied in his safe here. As soon as his
agent in Boston heard of his death,
he came to this city to take possession
Of the valuable contents Of this safe,
According to the Boston Post of yes
terday, the agent was greatly surprised
TO ascertain, upon his arrival, that
the city Of Philadelphia had placed an
attachment upon the safe and contents
TO pay a succession tax of $S00,000."
Inquiries at the Offices Of the Register
Of Wills and the Collector of Interna.
Revenue resulted in the information
that, as far as the interests ofthe State
or Federal Government we're concern
ed, nothing had been done to enforce
the collection Of any tax.

Wrong Idea.

Many persons having gotten the
wrong dea that hops are strengthen
ing, have taken to drinking beer and
ale very freely. The consequence is
they feel better for a short time, but
when the reaction comes they are
much weaker than before. Reader, if
you value your lite, lay aside all malt
and alcoholic beverages and put your
trust in that temperance preparation
of iron aud vegetable tonics called
Browns Iron Bitters. 1t gives real
health and strength to every part of
the body, retreshes the mind, and
restores the nervous system to its
proper standard. Over 1000 900 bot
ties have been sold this year.

Fashion 6prnrs.

A peacock with his tail spread
makes a beautiful panel for a fro
screen.
Patchwork muffs Of satin and velvet
are a novelty. The pieces arc small
and diamond shaped.
Small muffs are made from black
velvet, and from ostrich feathers
woven into a back of heavy linen.
High polish boots trimmed with fur
around the top are worn with the
plush costumes trimmed with fur.
Tiny breaches are used to fasten
skirt draperies, and also the plaits
with which elbow sleevesare trimmed.
The round Spanish hats, bound
plainly with velvet, with two feather
rosettes, are very popular and becom-
ing.
Slippers with a band across the in
step, which band is laced so as to fit
tho foot closely, are convenient and
pretty.
New lunch clothes are deep red,
with raised figures in designs OF ami
mails, and are used with white crochet
mats.
Colored silk stockings are no long
er worn with black dresses, a black
stocking being considered in better
taste.
Pale pink, blue and cream silk
surah, deliberately trimmed with Val
enciennes lace, is the latest feminine
fancy for elegant underclothing.
New rattan chairs are gilded and
have backs aud seats Of plush. The
plush is sometimes embroidered with
chenille and silk in design of autumn
leaves.
There are several new combinations
Of color olive is associated with plum
and old gold, myrtle with golden
brown, deep green with drab, and
garnet with pearl gray.
On nearly all mufs arc placed great
bows Of satin gathered into knots. On
this is fastened an ornamental bird,
fastened down with narrow loops of
satin ribbon.
The general effect of the new
pushes, brocaded satin, immense cords
and t~assals, crimson and black bro
caded velvets is to remind one of ele-
CANT upholstery.
Empress cards have taken the place
Of note paper. They fold once and
have the monogram or crest either on
the outside or inside, so that in fold.
ing it meets the eye in the first place.
Something very new in jewelry are
water pearls, mounted in their natural
shape, forming heads Of animals and
fishes. These r not very expensive,
yet it is impossible to duplicate them,
Quilted satin balmoral skirts
wadded with elder down, to make
them at once light and warm, are q
delight to those who can afford to pay
Sl5 or $40 for a p%etticoat. They come
in black satin, also in rich dark shades
Of red, blue and green.
An artistic tea gown of white satin
and trimmed with a combination Of
white and black figured silk net, and a
tunic and vest of black satin, lined and
turned back with white, is noticed
with admiration as one ofthe most
recent and happy carnations from the
great Worth.
Cloth suits for young and slender
girls are made with a cutaway coat,
showing a silk vest, while the coat
opens at the throat to show a scarf
necktie fastened with ajeweled pin.
The skirt is covered with a wide plat.
ing and crossed with a scarf draping
just below the waist.

The Smallest Woman in the
World.


San Francisco News Letter
Lucia Zarate, the smallest woman
in the world, was born in Mexico.
Her parents we're peons-that is to
say half breeds. When born she was
the size of a rat. 1t was supposed
that she was dead, and she was put in
a little box that happened to be in the
room. Soon, however, she began to
scream. She was then taken out Of
her box, and, except that she was
wondrously small, she soon played and
ran about like any other child. This
IS what the Weekly Arizona Miner
says, but we can lay over that. Bo.
logna Sausagini, the most smallest
woman in the world. was born in tbe
city Of London. Her parents were
both over eight feet high. When
born she was no bigger than a hum
ming birds egg, and weighed n
ounce. She was put in a dill box. but
soon squealed the lid of, and now she
IS fourteen years old, weighs 2lO
pounds, and can kick q cat of the door

rectsd letters which come to the st.
Louis postofice. During the month
Of October 1884 letters, 1855 circulars,
aud 5l8 postal cards mailed here in the
city and misdirected, have been re-
turned to their writer's at the cost Of a
great deal Of patience to the postal
department. During the same month
ll85 letters mailed elsewhere were
sent back to their writers as uncalled
for. Since January LIST, 1893 letters
misdirected to business firms in St.
Louis have been sent to their proper
destination in Chicago, 253 to New
Orleans, 45l to Cincinnati, 278 to
Louisville, $50 to st. Joseph, 81 to
Kansas City, and 3l9 to New York.
To do this has cost a great deal Of
work, as the addresses had to be
searched out from the directories Of
the different cities.
