FEARFUL EXPERIENCES OF THE RELIEF COM

NEW ORLEANS, October 16th-A N-Cap-

singular experiences as members of the
Relief Committee on their way to the Pass.
The train stopped ON the dump" five
miles from town. The water all around
this neck of land, on which was placed the
track, was fully eight feet deep. The hands
of Hyatt and Guy are blistered from fight
ing snakes, which literally covered the
dump for distance of five miles There
were thousands of er-moccasins from
the overtiowed district taking refuge on the
narrow stretch of land, and every step
across it had to be fought through twisting
serpents, many of them the

Larger than mans arm. Wildcats, also,
ieHAieu at tne wafer Jury, rushed pell-

every variety of animals sprang at the
passers-by with hydrophobia rage. Many
times the pedestrians left the dump and
swan around the animals, rather than try
to pass among them. Captain Hyatt alone
killed $50 snakes during his walk of ten
miles. Guy says that no money could
tempt him to make the trip over again. In
stepping about in the darkness he was
tripped up and thrown by snakes two
inches in diameter and fully five feet long.

A Philadelphia Opinion of San Fran
cisco,s School Policy

PHILADELPHIA, October 15th.-The Press,
in an editorial contrasting the school
teachers salaries in San Francisco and
Philadelphia, says that San Francisco is
justly proud of its public school system.
That city pays its teachers living salaries,
being more liberal in that regard than even
Boston, which follows not far behind. On
this account San Francisco attracts to itself
the best teaching talent from all over the
country. Conscious of the superiority of
its school system, the city takes pride in
maintaining it at high standard There
are not wanting politicians in San Fran
cisco who would like to have some of the
money expended on public schools diverted
into other channels. These are forever
citing the salaries paid by Philadelphia to
its school teachers to support their demand
that the teachers salaries in San Francisco
should be reduced. 1t is to the infinite
credit of that hberal-spirited city that any
proposal for a reduction of teachers sal
aries is defeated as often as brought for
ward. This same city has just done an act
of justice in eliminating the question of
sex in the apportionment of salaries which
other cities would do well to copy at once.

DOES Nor HIT GOVERNOR SwIFT.-The
San Francisco papers are making the cam
paign red hot over the exposure of Mr..
Bartletts recent Chinese laundry tenancy,
and giving a profusion of cuts and carica-
lures upon the subject. The Examiner seeks
to retrieve the situation by asserting that
Mr.. Swift has q Chinese house servant.
This, however, seems to aptly come under
a former statesman's popular expression
1t died a bornin." The San Francisco
Post says " The Examiner has charged that
John f, Swift, Republican candidate for
Governor, employed Chinaman at his
residence. This was made to palliate the
act of Mayor Bartlett, in having rented his
property to Chinese for the last fifteen
years. 1t would be fair retaliation if
true, but it is one of the regular campaign
brand-without the foundation of truth
A Post reporter visited the residence of
John f. Swift to-day, and found the alleged
Chinaman to be q typical japanese,
having very much the appearance of a
Mexican. He stated that he had been in
the employ of Mr.. Swift for two years, dur
ing which time there had never been a
Chinese servant in the house. Mr. Swift
also employs white servant girl, who has
worked in the family several years. She
declared that to her knowledge there had
never been Chinese employe about the
place, and the assertion was corrohorated
by Mr.. Swift's neighbers, who have lived
beside him for many years.
