ened numbers of desperate sinners that for
the time at least they became the veriest
saints. One of these was an old tough in
Cherokee county, Ga. In Cherokee county
is a famous ground where the Indians
IN their day used to play ball The old
tough in question habitually amused himself
by beating his wife. He lived upon the an
cient Indian ball ground. On the evening of
the earthquake he administered to his be-
loved companion the customary drubbing
and stalked out doors to cool Off. The earth
began to tremble and heave, sullen roar
smote the ear. Suddenly the tough fancied
he saw, floating in the air all about him,
weird specters, ghosts of the Cherokee In
dians who used to gather there. In no other
way could he account for the shaking earth.
He fell upon his knees then and there and
implored the spooks with all his soul to spare
his life and he would never whip Peggy Ann
again.

The Democratic Nominee for Governor
of Texas,

Mr.. Ross who was recently nominated
unanimously by the Texas Democratic state
convention for the office Of governor, was
born IN BentonSport, Ind, Sept. 2s, 1888, but
spent his hoyhood and early manhood in
Texas At the age of 10 he entered the Flor
ence Wesleyan college, in north Alabama.
where lie graduated with hOnors in the class
nf lsls During his vacation he conceived
the idea Of going to the frontier on an ex-
pedition against the Comanches, who were
committing numerous atrocities on the
settlers. After reaching the scene of their
operations, his regiment had a bloody en-
gagement with the Indians, which resulted in
their defeat An incident of this expedition
was the rescue Of little white girl who had
been for some time held in captivity by the
Indians Her parents being unknown, Mr.
foss charged himself with rearing and edu-
eating the orphan, sending her to a female
seminary, where she proved herself in every
way worthy of the care bestowed upon her.
She Is now the wife of wealthy merchant
ot Los Angeles, Cal While Mr. Ross was
VICTORIOUS IN the engagement with the
ihllallS lie did not come out unscathed, being
badly wounded in the arm by rife ball
and also in the side In 1859 he was placed
IN command of the frontier by Governor sam
Houston, with sixty men under his charge
Having established his post, he proceeded on
another expedition against the Comanches,
and scored a complete victory. At the
breaking out of the late civil war Gen. Ross
resigned his commission and entered the com
pany OF Capt Peter F. Ross as private

NEWS AND COURIER oFFrcE.

Looking at the remains of The Charleston
News and Courier office, one is not surprised
that the printers on the top floor declined to
continue setting type up there. Every soul
left the building the night of the first great
shock, except the proprietor, Capt. Dawson.
The earthquake left the edifice in such for
lorn condition that it will undoubtedly be
pronounced unsafe by the government en-
gineers and have to be pulled down. The
paper has been uncommonly prosperous of
recent years, and the proprietors had recently
put in fine new printing press.
AT Columbia, $. c., an old man had been
helpless rheumatic for years. He could
scarcely walk, even with crutches. At the
earthquake alarm he sprang from his couch
like deer and skipped into the street at
three bounds. He has not used his crutches
since. The earthquake was as effective as the
mind cure

Both in Atlanta and in Charleston wildly
thrilling scenes were witnessed at the re-
hgious revivals which Immediately broke
loose among the colored population They
believed beyond doubting that the day of
Judgment had come, and they begged for
mercy in a frenzy of fear. A weird spectacle
it was to pass through their camps and hear
the strange, more than half barbaric chants
and the wild prayers that rose from the
throngs in the open squares and streets They
sang hymns like this.
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down;
No man like Jesus
Sometimes I'm almost on de groun',
No man like Jesus.
Their prayers were wild and appealing be-
yond descriptions:
"Oh, my handsome God, dear sir, look down
on us. We know what the little finger of the
Lord can do. Sometimes the world can kick
up in thunder, but do take care of our
brothers Amt the black lamb and the white
lion done lie down together in peace9 Move
along my brothers, move along God gimme
grace to move along, amt dun promise to
be baptize?"
The excited throng took up the words:
"Promise to be baptized" J" and made song of
it, chanting the refrain with roar like a
singing earthquake itself They stopped to
take breath, and the leader fell into another
frenzieo prayer.
"The last chance is come to save old Charles

are here tonight for mercy. Oh, Lord, have

he was elected president of the Ohio Miners
association, the strongest labor union in the
state. He was reelected by unanimous vote

defeated for representative in 1881 by only
sixty-thrce votes He was renominated and

full to the interests of his brethren, he at once

and was prostrated during the winter near

of the Knights of Labor, and has held many

The steeple of st. Michael's church is
eighteen inches out of plumb, and unless the
best engineering talent of the country can
warp it back to its old position it must be
torn down. The massive portico of the
church covering, its entrance on Meeting
street is wrenched and torn and toppling.
As sad as anything in this sad story is the
natural encouragement of the people of
Charleston. Heavy rains finished what the
earthquake had left. Soaked to the skin,
wandering in the streets, without food, over
them the agonizing terror of earthquake
shocks almost every day for weeks, their
plight was sorrowful enough. Added to this
disease broke out among them The accumu-
lated garbage of all that time was left unre-
moved upon the streets.
But beautiful, hapless Charleston must take
heart again. As with Chicago after the fire,
money will pour into her from her generous
sister cities all over the Union, and Charleston
will be rebuilt, greater, more prosperous and
more beautiful than ever.

He married niece Of Gen. and Senator

In answer to request from Secretary En-

of it:

NLet Her Roll. GALLAGHER. ',

The favorite slang expression on the Chi
cago board of trade now is, LET her roll,
Gallagher" This comes from New Orleans.
When Blakely Hall went down there few
years ago to write up the exposition, which
didn't expose, he found that the generic name
of the bobtail car driver of the Crescent CITY
was Gallagher He observed that when the
driver Of these ramshackles stopped in the
street for lady passenger the gentlemen in
the car would usually rise, take off thei,, hats
and see the newcomer seated with something
like clivalrc grace. Then one or more would
sing out, Let her roll, Gallagher" The rusty
brake would twirl, the jaded mule would
propel and the creaking car would roll on
through dust to destiny.-New York World.

INTERNATIONAL YACHTING.
The Steps by Which the Modern Yacht
Has Deyeloped.

ihe steps by Which the Modern Yacht
Has Developed.
Now that the American type of yacht has
proved again the fleetest ahoat it is interest
ing to note the stages by which this degree of
perfection has been reached. When racing
vessels were first built is unknown. But that
such were in use by the northern nations of
Europe is well attested The sturdy old Morse
chleftains were so proud of their boats that
they insisted on being buried in them. Many
OF their graves have been unearthed with the
bulls of their vessels in sufficient preservation
to show that in shape they were as beautiful
and perfect as ANYTHING we produce to-day
for propelling with oars. When the Phoeni-
clans and Arabans were contending for the
India trade model of sailing ship was devel
oped which was strikingly similar to the old
time clipper ships, which came after. The fleet
ness of these latter sailers, was sacrificed to
the requirements of commerce.
The first yacht club on record was the
Royal Cork Yacht club organized in 1920
1t demonstrated the necessity for speed of
sharp bows and hollow garboards, instead of
the bulging hulls that were common up to
that time. Their yachts were richly carved
and gilded. The next lesson the British ad-
miralty learned in the art of building feet
vessels was from the French smugglers,
whose vessels could outsail the government
vessels every time,
The first international yacht race of which
we have any record was sailed at Bermuda
in ls49, between the English cutter Pearl and
the American yacht Brenda The Brenda
was victorious. 1t was the performance of
the yacht America i'll the race around the Isle
of Wight, in 1851, in which she distanced the
sixteen competing yachts, that awakened
seamen to the possible Improvement in yacht
modelling, and brought about revolution in
yacht building.

Then Geronimo has been skipping across the
Mexican border in such way as to harrass
the troops. The Mexicans will not allow the
United States to establish permanent camp
on their side of the line, and as the Mexicans
exerted themselves but little toward his cap
ture he fell back on Mexico as place of
refuge. Geronimo has never considered the
Mexican soldier worth bothering about any
way, and boasts that he never wasted any
ammunition on Mexicans-he killed them
with rocks.
On the l1th Of last January, it will be re-
membercd that Capt Emmett Crawford,
while pursuing Geronimo, was shot down by
party of Mexican soldiers, who had mis-
taken his command for a body Of hostile In
dians, at least so it was said at the time.
Since then reports and denials of Geroni-
mos capture have followed one another thick
and fast, until he became like the Irishman's
flea. This time it is hoped he is captured "for
keeps, and to Gen. Miles is the honor due.

successful Indian fighter. He it was who cap

THE NEW STEAMSHIP sUsquEHANNA.

There was recently launched at Buffalo a
vessel modelled after an ocean steamer that
may be termed the first steamship on the
lakes, There are other steamers that are
commonly classed as steamships, but which
are technically steam barges or freight pro
pellers. Her chief claim to distinction from
other fine vessels is that she will he the
largest, both in point of tonnage and freight
carrying capacity, of any of the lake fleet
This steamship, the Susquehanna, is s22 feet
long by4O feet beam, with depth of about 81
feet. She is built of iron and steel through.
out and will be used as freight boat be-
tween Buffalo and Chicago, her carrying
capacity being 2,S00 tons Fitted out with
every appliance that experience can suggest,
her success may be followed by feet Of
similar craft.

in the mountains He escaped with them.
He was afterward captured in New Mexico
and brought to the San Carlos reservation
with the rest of his tribe. Soon after this he
escaped again and was out until 1878 In
1881 he made his third escape, and eluded the
soldiers until 1884, when Gen. Crook brought
him into camp
On May Z, 1885, Geronimo led in the out
break which has given Mexico and the
United States no end of hardships since The
chief difficulty in capturing him came from
the rough nature of the country, where the
Apaches were perfectly at home In fact, it
is likely they would prefer a life of lawless-
ness, with the privilege of roaming free over
these mountains, to life of luxury in cap
tivity. ."

The above sketch of the Galatea and May
flower as they appeared in running before the
wind in one of the recent races gives an ex-
cellant idea of the number of sails that are
crowded on to modern yacht, and also the
beautiful curves the outlines of these sails as
sumo when filled by the wind. 1t is In the
shape, size and management of sails that the
greatest improvements have been made of
late years. In this both countries have made
equal strides. But it is to the use of the
Yankee centerboard that American yachts
owe most of their superiority, and it is only
by adopting it that crafts of other countries
may successfully compete for the interna-

The recent exhibition was probably the
most important horse fair ever held in Amer
ica. Canada and the United States were
allke nobly represented. The jury of awards
was appointed by the ministers of agriculture
OF France, Canada, and the United States.
About $1,000 in money was given as prizes,
and many gold, silver and bronze medals
were distributed. The fact was plainly
brought to light that Canada possesses some
OF the finest horses in the world.
The Percheron craze is as pronounced else
where as in America. The animals are bought
lp SO fast by European nations, by Egypt,
south America, and even Japan that it is i'm
possible to supply the full demand for them

ccheron breeders in Canada and the Upited
