In an interview with VIM. j. Smith,
who was the holder of one-twentieth
of ticket No. $3.50, which drew the
capital prize OF 100000 at the draw
ing of the Louisiana State Lottery of
the 18th inst, he stated that when on
the 10th he found himself to be the
winner of $4,000 he Immediately
placed his ticket in the Second Ma
tional bank for collection. In eight
days the money was subject to his
order at the same bank, the remit
lance having been made by New York
drafts, a portion of the amount he
drew and placed on deposit in differ
emit banks.
MI. Smith came to Bay City some
eight years ago, during which time he
has been engaged in different branches
of business. At the present time he
is j%anitor of the Phoenix block, the
largest and handsomest building in the
city. Mr.. Smith is "a years of age,
married and the father of two bright
boys. A year ago last April he COM

Things Worth Remembering.

To those who are called upon to
nurse the sick through a long and
severe illness, it is of the utmost i'm
portance, not only to themselves,
but also to their patients, that their
own health should be preserved and
their own strength maintained.
And this not only through the
critical stage, but also during the
period of convalescence.
The following simple precautions
will aid in preserving health and
strength while nursing the sick: If
the disease of the patient be such as
to cause any marked odor of the
breath, or exhalations from the
skin, take care always to sit on that
side ofthe bed or sick person which is
opposite to or away from the direc-
tion which the efluvia will take to-
ward the window or whatever other
drafts the room may afford. Sit so
their breath is carried away from
you. Do not sit too close to them
nor take their breath ifyou can avoid
it. To keep ones strength in a case
of prolonged care and anxiety, and
particularly so if obliged to sit up
nights, great benefit will be derived
from taking a warm bath early in
the morning and putting on fresh un-
dergarments every other evening; or
if the malady be very infections inits
nature, it is best to change the cloth
ingevery morning. 1t will be found
that the warm bath. followed by a
brisk rubbing of the whole body
with a very coarse towel OF flesh
brush, will refresh the tired person
almost as much as sleep.
1t is well to keep up the appetite
with small doses of quinine-two to
five grains-twice a day, and eat
nourishing food, with a little wine oc-
casionally. This is a way in which a
lady who makes nursing her business,
keeps herself well and strong. Igive
the directions as she gave them to
me, hoping they may possibly bene-
fit some one, as may also the follow
ing incident, which was related to
me by our family physician. Being
called upon to visit "a sick child, he
found the babe in apparently good
health, but crying and struggling
continually as though suffering ex-
IRENE pain and anguish. The moth
er stated that the child was DESTROYS
of nursing continually, and in order
to quiet it, she had been obliged to
let it nurse as often as the crying
paroxysms came on. When that
failed to quiet it, paregoric or sooth-
ing syrup had been administered.
when did you give the babe a
drink of water last?" Inquired the
physician.
81 don't remember" replied the
mother, II seldom let him drink any
water. Does he need it?'
"Need it?" exclaimed the doctor.
"Why should he not need it as much
as you? The child is suffering from
thirst, nothing more"
He accordingly called for cold wa
ter, gave the infant a few tablespoon-
fuls, and it Immediately ceased cry
ing and fretting andsoon wentpeace-
fully to sleep, enjoying a long, e
freshing slumber, the first for many
hours. Mothers and nurses should
remember this. Infants who nurse
may often suffer tormentfor the lack
of a drink of water. Often a child
cries from nothing but thirst; there
fore use common sense.a and instead of
dosing it with poisonous compounds
give the little sufferer all the water
he wants.-Portland Transcript.

Col Wintersmith Tells a Snake Story.

Col. Dick W"intersmith listened with
apparent good-natured disgust to
some of the snake stories which the
youngsters were trying to crowd
down his throat the other eveningat
Chamberlain's, says the Dallas News.
AS yarn after yarn was unwound by
the enterprising %narrators the colon
ell seemed to get restless, until finally
he broke out with:
"That's all right, boys, but the
trouble with your snake stories is
that they are not"
"Well, suppose you tell us one that
is absolutely true" suggested one OF
the company.
81 WILL" said the colonel prompt
ly.
And then "Dick" told how he had
found himself travelling one hot aft
ernoon along acartroad cut through
what seemed miles of chaparra1,
somewhere in Texas, 1 believe. Sud
denly his pony stopped, and he was
nearly thrown over the animals head.
II got off," Col. Wintersmith went
on to say, land looked about to
see what the trouble was, and soon
found, about a rod ahead, a huge
r%attle-snake asleep across the road

side and his tail in the gutter On the
other. l tried to make the poney

l couldn't GO back, and didn't like

SO as to get a good start, took a
running jump, leaped over the snake,
ran to the sappling grabbed it with
both hands, ran, swinging it over
my head, back to his slumbering
snake-ship and whacked him right
across the head, breaking it at once
Here the colonel took a long
breath and something else besides.
The company looked disap-
pointed.
SIS that all?" some one asked.
The colonel cast a look OF wither-
ing contempt upon the youth adj
justed his gold trimmed spectacles,
and then continued:

hang me, gentlemen-you may be-
lieve me or Motif | didn't discover
that my sapling was the snakes
mate, and"
"Oh. colonel! Come, now, that's a
little too" came in chorus.
And that" went on the colonel,
not in the least disturbed, "and the
same blow had killed it also.
After that nothing remained for the
company to do except to break up.

Shafer some distance out in the coun-
try, and not knowing where TO find
them, he engaged a little boy to ac-
company him to the place. On the
way out the minister was very in
quisitive, but the boy seemed to be
of the same turn of mind, and was
anxious to know what the minister's
calling was. "To show people the
road to heaven" was the minister's
reply. "What," says the boy in sur
prise, "show people the road to
heaven, and yet you do not know
the road to Shafer's?"

Col. Deveeux Getting His Bond Ready
to Send Oh to Washington.
Despite the opposition of some of the Bruins
wick republicans to the confirmation of Col.
John H. Deveaux, recently appointed to the
Brunswick customs collectorship, Col. De-
veaux is quietly perfecting his bond, and he
expects to have it ready in a few days for
transmission to Washington for approval
Col. Deveaux says that he does not an
ticipate defeat in his confirmation. He says
that nine-tenths of the active republicans
are his supporters, and he added: LAS far
as practicable, l shall select my clerical
force from the republicans of that section. {"
He received the necessary blanks day be-
fore yesterday. Yesterday being holiday
he was unable to do much toward getting
up his bond.
Col. Deveaux says that he had field of
six other candidates to contest for the
nomination, one of whom he could not re-
call. The others were H. T. Dunn, formerly
deputy collector of Brunswick; Mr.. Gun
ningham, Jesse Wimberly of Waynesboro,
G. Fl. Hopkins of Darien, Fl. r. f. Duck of
North Georgia, and W. A. Pledger of
Athens, who withdrew He feels confident
that his confirmation will follow, as a mat
ter Of course, as the opposition is no stronger
now than 1t was before his appointment,
which, he says, comes directly from Presi-
dent Harrison.
Col. Deveaux evidently feels that his ap-
pointment was largely due to his long con-
nection with customs affairs. He was sixteen
years in the custom office Of Savannah, first
as general clerk, next as assistant marine
clerk, next as correspondence clerk, and
last as auditing clerk, which position he
held for eight years, the last four months
of which service was under the present col
lector. He resigned in January, 1887, aud
the letter Of Capt. Wheaton in accepting
the resignation, being most complimentary
in its character, was used by Col. Deveaux
at Washington.

Savannah.

The British Steamer Holyrood One of
the Finest Vessels That Ever Visited
Savannah.
The British steamship Holyrood, which
arrived here Tuesday from Swansea, is a
bran new vessel, this being her first voy-
age since she was built. She is steel. in
four water-tight compartments, and is on
the three-deck system. She has a cellular
bottom and is ballasted by 500 tons of water
ballast. She is 800 feet long, 40 feet
breadth of beam, with III tons net, and
has accommodations for several pas
sengers. Her cabins are beautifully fur
nished and fitted with patent ventilators,
all of the rooms of the cabin being large
and roomy.
The vessel is fitted with McGinnis' patent
steam steering gear, which is of shafting,
and very different from the old style of
chains, and saving the jerky movement by
means of hydraulic pressure. She steers
easily and true. Her engines are quadruple
expansion of $50 pounds pressure, and she is
capable of speed of nine and a half knots
when deeply loaded. Her steering apparatus
and cabin ventilators are novelties, and the
latest inventions in the way of steamship
fittings. Her cabins are just under the
bridge. which is supported by iron knees

trade, running between Buenos Ayres and

RUN OVER BY A STREET OAR.
How the Antics Of Monkey Caused
q Serious Accident.

Freddie Ruwe, the S-year-o old son of J. H.
Ruwe, the baker, was run over by Whita-
ker street Car at Liberty and Whitaker
streets yesterday, ard had his right arm
broken above the elbow, and received a
painful cash over the eye.
A strolling organ grinder had a monkey
at the drug store on the corner, and large
crowd of boys were gathered about
watching the antics OF the ami
NAL As the monkey started toward
the crowd of boys they surged out into the
street. and the lad Freddie was struck by
one of the mules drawing the street car
going north on Whitaker street. The brakes
were on, and the driver and conductor had
given cautionary histles
MIR. Goodwin, the conductor, carried the
injured boy into Vests grocery, and he
was sent to the home of his parents. So

and the little fellow was resting easy last
night. Supt Johnson also rendered the
medical services Of DIR. Elliott, surgeon of
the street car company.
Conductor Goodwin gives the following
version of the accident: "When 1 was at
harris street, going north, l saw a crowd
In whitaker street, near A. NJ. & G. w.
w est's store. | went forward to the driver
on the front platform and ordered him to
drive slowly on approaching the crowd,
and we attracted its attention by whistles,
and they cleared the track, and went back
to my position on the rear platform. 1
leaned over, standing on the step, to see if
the track kept clear. Just as the mules got
opposite the crowd something sprang for
ward. | take it that it must have been the
monkey, and the crowd jumped back. In
moment l saw something under the mules
feet and the mules plunged. The driver
had his brakes on, and assisted him from
my end of the car. The car passed over
the boy and he igot up and l went to him
and asked if he was hurt. He was holding
one hand with the other. took the lad into
Messrs. Vests store and Mr.. A. NJ. West
said he would take charge Of him and send
him home. l did't know the extent of his
injuries"
1t appears almost impossible that the boy
should have escaped with his life, as the
car ran over him, but fortunately none of
the wheels struck him, and it is supposed
that some part of the machinery of the
brakes struck the arm which was broken,
