A Step Taken IN the Right DIrec-
tion-SpeciaI Notice.

The Louise King Association for the Pre-
ventiOn OF Cruelty to Animals, whose good
work has met the approval of not only this
community but the State, has given another
evidence of its enterprise by having con-
nection made with the General Telephone
Exchange and the office of the Secretary,
Mr.. Nathan K. Platshek, yesterday. The
increasing demand for the assistance of this
association in various sections of this State
has somewhat curtailed its usefulness in
this city for the past three months, but with
this extra facility of telephone connection,
whereby easy communication can be had
with every member Of its Executive Com
mittee, its Attorney and Special Agent, the
great benefit to be derived by this commun-
ity will be readily appreciated.
since the organization of this association,
the great improvement in the appearance
and care OF the dumb brute has been already
seen, and 1t is now the purpose of the asso-
citation to give attention to every case COM
ing to their notice or reported to them. One
noticeable feature about the course they have
pursued, is its efforts to suppress
cruelty to animals by kindly advice and
timely warning to all, instead of prompt
legal prosecutions, as carried out by a great
many similar societies. This alone should
merit for 1t the great assistance 1t deserves.
Certainly, like all things, 1t has it's friends
and enemies, but its enemies can In no way
affect its workings, therefore the association
continues to prosper. We highly commend
the course this association has Just taken.
and bespeak for it the hearty and continued
support of the better class of our citizens.
In our special notice column appears a no.
tice from the Secretary.

Some anxiety is felt in regard to several
of the coastwise steamers which are over
due, though 1t is not likely anything serious
has befallen them. The City of Augusta,
from New York, was due last Tues
day, the Appold, from Baltimore,
was due the same, day and the
Seminole, from B1ston, and c. w. Lord,
from Philadelphia, were both due yesterday
As a dense fog prevailed at Tybee through
out Yesterday, it may be that all four the
steamships are now lying at anchor
on theE outward roads waiting for
clear weather, in order to come
up to their respective docks. The operator
at Tybee reports that he is unable to dis
cover anything off, owing to the heavy fog.

The FInny Tribe and the Late Cold
SuaD.

A remarkable Circumstance in con.
Eeetion with the recent cold snap
was the effect on the fish along
the coast, large schools being driven in
shore and in shallow water. Strange as it
may seem, It is asserted that the fish, par
ticularly bass and trout, were observed to
throw themselves bodily out of the water
on land. An old negro man caught thirty
one very fine large bass in this way at
Raccoon Key, near Warsaw. On st.
GATHERINGS a net thrown in the water was
almost instantly filed by fine large fish, and
fishermen found some difficulty in hauling
the nets In. Others were observed to xiii
them in the water with cars. This novel
occurrence was witnessed generally all
along the islands to the southwark, and in
the rivers near the coast

Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock,
Moses Wright, colored individual, who
proved by his conduct that he was decidedly
wrong By nature, was arrested by Police
mau Jones on the charge of drunkenness
and being disorderly on the street. He was
rather hilarious, and being armed with
pistol, produced his weapon and
wanted to furnish the Coroner
with business by perfolating several par
ties. He will have to answer this morning,
in addition to the charge of drunkenness
and disorderly conduct, for the offeuses of
drawing a pistol and threatening to shoot
people and for carrying concealed weapons.
Evidently, Moses has some troubleus times

go into every part of the world where there

and best remedy ever devised for rheuma-
tism, stubborn coughs, spinal and kidney
complaints, sciatlca and lumhago, pleurlsy,

No More Hard Times.

II you will stop spending SO much on fine
clothes. rich food and style, buy good,
healthy food, cheaper and better clothing;
get more real and substantial things of life
every way, and especially stop the foolish
habit of employing expensive, quack doc
tors or using so much of the vile humbug
medicine that does you only harm, but put
your trust in that simple, pure remedy, Hop
Bitters, that cures always at a trifiing cost,
and you win see good times and have good
health. See another column.

That Awful Child.

E. R. E. Miles Jewellers appeared before
rather a small house at the Theatre last
evening, in the musical comedy, "An Awful
Child" There is really nothing in the plot
Of the play, the entire attraction consisting
Of musical selections from the most popular
operas and airs Of the day. These were very
well given, and the company probably
made all out of the play that could be
made. Mr.. Allison, as Clarissa, that
"AwfUl Child" was very funny. Misses
Jennie Tanner and Louise Manfred as IAN
ME Burlington" and Sarah" were very
pleasing In personal appearance, and sang
creditably, while all the other members of
the troupe are possessed OF very fair voices.
In short, the entertainment is one at which
an idle hour or two can be whiled away
pleasantly enough.
The lawful Child'' will be repeated to-
night for the last time, and we hope the
company will be encouraged by better
house.

OEOeEs
The exhibition of the two-headed girl at
Mozart Hall continues to draw crowded
audiences afternoon and night. She is GER
tainly most extraordinary natural phe-
nomena. Anatomical examination has
proved that she has two hearts, two
sets of lungs and two digestions. 1t is
certain there are mentally two perfect in
diVidualities, for conversations may be car
ried on with each OF the two persons so mys-
teriously blended In one; and, each having
very prettygift of singing, they perform duets
in parts. Mile Christine also dances very
gracefully, and appears to have no difficulty
in moving about, and in no way differs In
appearance from two animated aud engag.
ing young negresses who, for sport, have
agreed to pass an hour tied together nearly
back to back.
At her exhibition combination of novel
ties is also presented. The exhibition will
remain here but few days longer.
