Charleston, situated on a low-lying
peninsular Of alIavial soil and being
over the athof the earth's tremor, with
no interposing barrier Of solid rock,
suffered all the horrors common to
cities similarly situated within the

fatal work where there is the least vol
umeof resistance to its forces. Thus
Characterization and other cities were
wrecked. Cities on the ribs Of noun

from earth tremors unless the rock Oh
which they stand has been hoaeycomb-

about on his hands and knees. Lost for

I happened to fall into conversation
with Tom Healey about this Evarts case.
He said the most wonderful example of
human endurance which he ever heard
of was that Of Bob Casey who some ten
years ago, got lost within a few miles OF
% Mile Springs, while carrying the Ben
ton mail on blackboard. Caught in a
blizzard the trail became less and less dis
tinct until Casey became bewildered and
gave up trying to find his way. He took
the bride of tue horse so that he could

back to life BY careful medical treatment
but suffered q loss of both feet. How he
escaped death is an unsolved mystery.

IN 4 NEWSBOYS THEATRE.

A night or two ago TRIBUNE reporter dropped into
what dstirctivey newsboys and bootbacks theatre
in the lower part OF the BOwery He had never been In
place OF that kind and wanted what 1t was
like. A couple OF hundred little rats sat about on
hard benches that looked II they had been con-
fscated from some downtown mission school
The boys all smoking cigarettes and
cigar stmps which OF comfort they did not aban
don during the performance. The air thick you
could almost have spread it johnnycake. The per-
Torrance certainly soustirring 1t was called
Bloody Buck, the Dark Demon Of the Danube AS
there nothing the play abont the Danube, 1t must
have been employed for purely alliterave purpose
Bowie knives gstene1, pistols flashed, gore flowed, red
lights burned sounded and dark deeds occurred
at intervals of about minute The audience cheered
each fell stroke with wild delight
Just in front Of the reporter sat two little boys, EVIL
IDENTIFY brothers. The younger, named Jimmy, was not
than years old. and this was his first show
The other whom he called Tommy acting as his Men
tor. and taking his little brother around to the
sights. Jimmy's enthusiasm was unbonnded His dirty
little face reflected every possible emotion OF hope fear
and admiration. Tommy by means so easily i'm
pressed He had the air OF Sir Charles COldstream He
had ALL and rather bored than otherwise The
contrast was highly diverting.
Between the acts girl dressed In tights came out 70

was OF course wrctched singing but It threw Jimmy into
ecstacies Tommy Tommy " he cried amt dat JUS

GEMS IN EVERY VARIETY AND AT ANY PRICE.
The popularity of any article of commerce may be
pretty correctly estimated by the number of its cheap

for precious stones, particularly diamonds, in this
country and in Europe, that cOunterfeits are now
made which closely resemble the original as to
puzzle not expert TO detect the difference.
This makes it all the necessary for the average

Joy the confidence of its customers, If one may judge
from the crowded counters where gems valued at
thousands of dollars change hands daily. This house
established in small way in 164O, and for the
last thirty five years has occupied the same well
known stand the business meanwhile steadily in
creasing until now the house stands among the first
