The Netrs and Courier. In announcing
the result Of the recent pilot boat race,
says. considerable interest has been
manifested in Charleston. and especially
in boating circles, in the ocean race be-
tween the Frances Elizabeth and the
s-Neca." The recent victory Of the former
vessel over all the Savannah pilot boats
rendered her owners and their friends
sanguine Of success in the second contest,
and il is generally understood that they
put up all the money they could get. look
ing on winning as "A matter Of course. The
news first announced that the Mecca had
passed Rattiesnake Shoals ahead, threw a
damper on the spirits Of the Charleston
betters. y later dispatch announced the
defeat Of the Elizabeth" received at an
early hour Tuesday evening, completely
blasted their hopes.
OF course there viii be great rejoicing in
Savannah over the success Of the '-Neca."

Death ola Former Savannah Priest in
Egypt

The cable dispatch in the MORNING
NEWS Of yesterday announcing the death
from cholera at Cairo, Egypt. Of Father
Patrick. acting Roman Catholic Chaplain
to the British forces stationed there. it
is probable, referred to Father Patrick
Neresboro, formerly Vicar General to
Bishop PersicO, in this city.
Father Patrick was one of three priests,
including Fathers Louis and DOminick,
Of the Sulpician Order. who came to Sa-
vannah about 1870 with Bishop PersicO
from the East Indies, where they were
identified with a church mission.
They were connected with the Cattle
dral parish, and left Savannah prior to
the appointment Of Bishop Gross in 1878.
Father DOminick went to LONDON. Eng
land. where he is still stationed. and
Father Louis was sent to a mission in
India. Father Patrick went to Calcutta.
4 short time afterward be became Presi-
dent Of st. Georges College, al SOrth
Missouri. a military station on the Hima-
lava Mountains, in the Northwest Prov
inces Of India. He was also Chaplain TO
the troops stationed there. His friends in
Savannah with whom he was in CORE
spOndence are unaware Of hls removal
from India. but being a Chaplain to
the army. and under orders, it is more
than probable that during the Egyptian
troubles he was transferred to Cairo,
where his death is announced to have
taken place. Father Patrick with his
brother priests were well-knOwn in SaYan.

earnest advocates Of their religion.

Medical Profession.


Medical Profession.
HGlps Journal Of Health, referring to
Consumption, makes the following import
ant statement:
Consumption usually begins with a
slight, dry cough in the morning, then ON
going to bed, getting more and more FREE
quent, with more and more phlegm, in
creasipg debility, thinness of flesh, short
ness of breath, and quickness of pulse. In
fatal cases it's average course is about two
years; hence the Importance of arresting
the disease at as early stage as possible,
and the sooner rational means are employed
for this purpose the greater tbs chance OF
success. The disease is owing to an irrita-
tion commencing in the throat and extend
ing to the lungs, so that their action is in
terferred with, and the blood does not re-
| ceive sufficient oxygen to purify it. The
most marked sign of lung disease is emacia-
tion; and the most positive indication of
| returning health is increase in weight"
So speaks Halls journal of Health, and
! we may add that in desperate cases, and,
| In fact, in all cases of Consumption, or
| troubles of the throat and lungs, immediate
| relief may be obtained and permanent
cure effected by the uss Of DR.. VIM. HalPs
Balsam for the Lungs, medicine known
for more than thirty-tve years as an unfali-
ingremedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis and
all pulmonary and pectoral diseases. That
the worst cases of Consumption have been
cured by the use of Halls Balsam has been
attested to by the thousands who have used
it, or have been cogntzant of its wonderful
remedial efficacy.

They Must Steal.

There are in st. Louis dozens of
ladies, the wives or daughters of
wealthy citizens, who are addicted to
kleptemania. Every prominent dry
goods store has several such customers,
and whan known they are followed from
the time they enter the store until they
loave ana by careful watching every
little article they abstract is noted down
and included in their bills, which are
always paid without denfur.
One young lady kleptomaniac mani
tests her disordered mind in stealing
buttons; everything else is sacred, but
she invariably edges up to the button
counter and slyly slips card with a
dozen or so of buttons into her reticule.
The boys at the counter all know her
and place the commonest buttons within
her reach. ANY kind satisfies her; still
her bill for buttons during year is
something that would surprise you. As
her family are good customers we offer
ed to take back the buttons. But no,

Of young lady, the announcement of
whose prospective marriage to one of
our society beaux appeared in the paper
the other day. The old lady is wealthy
and not addicted to extravaganza in
anything. She will steal regardless of

else is handy will fill her pocket with
