DISABLED AT SEA.

The Dutch Steamer yeendam, with Over
Six Hundred Passengers on Board, Bound
for New York, Disabled at Sea.
New YORK, May "a The Dutch
steamer Veepdam, belonging to the
Netherlands line, is disabled at sea
with go passengers on board. A cable
gram from London states that the
steamship was passed, Sunday last, in
latitude A north, longitude 4S west.
Her engines were stopped and she was
proceeding under sail. A strange
steamer was alongside, presumably pre-
pairing to render assistance. The Veen-
dam is bound for this port from Rotter-
dam.
The Veendam left Rotterdam May .,
and under favorable conditions ought
to have been here on Sunday. Her
agents here say that she will try TO
make st. Johns, N. f., or Halifax.
when sighted she was off the coast of
Newfoundland. The agents are not a
bit apprehensive. as the Veendam is a
good, sound ship in any kind of weather,
and there is plenty of provisions on the
craft. Capt Roggeveen, her skipper, is
most careful navigator, and will
bring her into port in the best possible
shape.

Caprices of fashion sometimes carry

Caprices of fashion sometimes carry
good ideas or articles to tie topmost
wave of success, after years of persist
ent and unavailing effort to popularize
them. Common sense shoes became
fashionable, then everybody wore them.
The statuesque waist was called artistic
and became craze. Physical exercise
has been carried to excess; and dieting,
good Ia its way, has been the means of
undermining many constitution un-
able to bear the burden of life on a
strictly hygienic bill of fare. Some
persons require an abundance of nour
ishing food, others do veil on a re
stFicted Diet

TAH DAVIS MoNumsNk
Am Effort to BE Made to Raise the Money
to Build 1t.


At recent meeting of the Southern
Press Association at Memphis, COM
mittee of three was appointed to CO.
operate with Gen. John B. Gordon,
Comnander-in=Chief of the Confederate
FeteraFi Associations, in raising fund
for erecting monument to the memory
of jefferson Davis. This step was taken
IN fnrtherance of scheme set on foot
shsrtly after Mr.. Davis death and
zAich was intended to secure the CO.
operation of Southern newspapers for
this end. Some money has already
been raised, but the efforts in this di-
rection have heretofore been desultory
and lacking in system. The committee
have therefore thought it best that
some action should be taken to the end
that a general and simultaneous move
tnent may be inaugurated. They have,
therefore, prepared the following ad-
dress:
70 the People of the Soutni
1t has been the custom of all times
and of all peoples to honor the memory
of their illustrious dead by the building
of monuments, which shall be per-
petual reminder of their virtues and
achievements. Southern soil is rich
with the blood and ashes of Southern
heroes and patriots, whose memory will
be priceless heritage and inspiring ex-
ample forever. Among all the noble
dead, there Is none whose namo appeals
with greater power to the affectionate
remembrance of the Southern people
than that of jefferson Davis. His splen-
did valor upon the field of battle, his
brilliant abilities in the arena of states
manship, his heroic fortitude under per-
secution unparalleled in i is atrocity and
bitterness, his patient, proud endurance
of calumny and detraction make him a
figure which will stand for all time in
the group of the great men of our his
tory.
The cause for which he fought and
suffered has gone down and we have
buried il forever. But there is no senti-
ment of honor or of patriotism which
requires US to bury the memory of those
whose lives were entwined with and
whose blood was shed for it. The South
ern people will have become lost to
every sense of honorable manhood and
womanhood when they forget him who,
for their sake, wore the shackles upon
his wasted limbs. We owe it to our
selves and to our children to build a
monument to his memory. We, there
fore, appeal to the people of the South,
confident of the nature of their response.
We have appointed June 18, 1891, as a
day upon which the people of every
town and county in the Southern States
should meet and take the proper steps
to forward the enterprise of voluntary
contributions or other methods which
they may deem best. Let those who
feel patriotic interest in this move
ment everywhere begin at once to or
ganize movement in their respective
communities and secure large and
enthusiastic meeting on the day ap-
pointed and send the results of their
efforts to Capt. John L. Weber, Charles
ton, S. c., who will act as Treasurer
of the fund. =

A big MoonshIne Distillery.

NASHVILLE, May 1S.-Deputy Collec-
tor Spurrier and posse returned today
from Lincoln County, where they sue
ceeded in capturing one of the most
complete wildcat distilleries operated
IN tie State for many years. The dis
tillery was located eight miles south of
Kelso, near the Alabama line. The
officers destroyed 1900 gallons of beer.
No whisky was found on the premises
and no arrests were made, as the parties
operating the distillery made their es-
cape before the officers arrived. Collec-
tor Spurrier is determined TO rid that
section of the State adjoining Alabama
of these dens, which are responsible for
much of the lawlessness which exists in
the border counties.
