Gainesville's Appeal.

Gainesville asks for help. She hasn't a
great deal Of fever, but her situation, as
far as the wants of her people are con-
cerned, is almost as bad as if she had. Her
business is paralyzed, and many of her peo-
pie are not able to earn enough to get the
necessaries of life. OF course, all of her
people are not suffering, but those who de-
pend upon their daily earnings are.
A great deal of money has been collected
for fever sufferers which has not yet been
forwarded. Most of that which has been
collected has been sent to Jacksonville.
That city, however, has all she needs, for
the present at least. 1t would be well,
therefore, if some of the money that is now
in the hands of those who are authorized to
send it to the infected localities, were sent
to Gainesville The board OF health there
would hardly ask for assistance if it were
not greatly needed.

NEW USE FOR THE SHAWL.
Novel Idea that Surprised Loungers
at a Saratoga Hotel.
From The albany Argus

From the albany Argus.
While sitting upon the side piazza of the
United States hotel few days ago, watching
and admiring the many costly and beautiful
carriages that were rolling along Broadway, my
attention was called to little side performance
that was truly interesting. The gentleman of
color who stands at the entrance of the United
states hotel to attend to the carriage doors and
the wants of the old folks and young folks who
pass in and ont of them. had his accustomed
position close beside the curbstone. He was
dressed faultlessly for one Of his position, and
his hight standing white collar was a close fit
under the chin.
This important individual carried, beside a
bit of wicker work, which, when applied to a
carriage wheel acts as mud or dust protector,
and saves many dress from ruination, black
shawl This shawl was tossed oyer his left arm
and there it remained until an equipage, con-
tanning very charmingly attred young lady,
the daughter, no doubt, OF a man Of great
wealth, put in an appearance. She motioned
that she wanted the shawl brought into use
The coloTed man, quick a wink, sprang to the
front of the carriage, when, to my utter sur
prise and that of twenty or more bystanders
he held up the shawl shoulder high, until the
lady of fashion had alighted If she had a
pretty foot or delicate ankle, no one was the
wiser, because that black shawl served as good
purpose as a Japanese screen would have
done. The shawl act is new, but many of
the girls who visit Saratoga have tried it and
like IL
