GOOD ADVICE.
A Prominent Negro Out In an Open Letter
: to His Race.

Special to The Statesman.
Houston, Tex, Sept. 10.-Andrew
X. Carothers, for years at the head of
the colored alliance in the South, is
out in an open letter to his people,
warning them against the Humphrey
scheme Of demanding eXhorbitant
prices for cotton picking. He de-
nounces the author of the scheme as
well as the plan itself and urges the
negro to live in harmony with the
white farmers, alleging the closely
interviewer interests Of the two
classes as a reason in business life
and the danger of stirring up strife as
a further incentive to peace and quiet
in all particulars. He says if cotton
was bringing 10 or II cents q better
price for picking could in justice be
but at the present price
no man can pay an advance. Caroth-
ers is a most influential man and his
warning will have great effect.

AN EARTHQUAKES WORK.
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF
PROPERTY AND MANY LIVES LOST.
The Scene One Of Terrible Grandeur-Walls
Cracking and Falling, the Earth Heav-
ing and Trembling and Men, Women
and Children Panic Stricken.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The Herald
has this cable dispatch today:
.sN "San Salvador. Sept. 9-Millions of
dollars worth of property and many
lives were destroyed in this republic
by an earthquake today. Whole
towns were wiped out, and so far as
the advices received here indicate
hardly city in the country except
those along the coast escaped the aw-
full effects of the convulsion. There
have been indications for several
days past that q disturbance
of more than usual power
might be expected. The volcanoes
of San Salvador, San Miguel and
Izales have been unusually active and
deep subterranean rumblings and
slight tremors have been felt. Such
things are not uncommon here, how
ever, and while there was a feeling of
uneasiness here last night, there was
no great alarm felt. At just five min
utes before o'clock this morning the
earth began to shake. The wave had
strong oscillatory and vertical move
ment. People rushed into the streets
ia their night clothes. While the
shock lasted only twenty seconds, be-
fore it had passed away there was
panic stricken mob making it's way to
the open country outside the city.
The scene was terribly sublime.
Men, women and children were
shrieking and praying in the streets,
walls of houses cracked. tOttered and
fell, there was deep, continuous
rumbling as of heavy thunder, the
sky was overcast and the air was
filled with fine penetrating dust.
While the shock lasted the earth rose
and fell in long waves and strong
men were unable to keep their feet.
The panic-stricken people flocked to
the open country outside of the city.
Temporary shelters were thrown up
werever possible, but nearly
all the men and great
many of the women and children
had only the sky for refuge. All
through the morning there were to
have been slight shocks, but none APP
preaching in intensity the one which
had been so destructive.
y
thing he can to stop the panic, and
care for the homeless people until it is
considered safe for them to go back to
their homes.
The towns throughout the country
have suffered more severely than the
capital. Even Comasaqua has been
completely destroyed. Coiutepeque,
Santa Techla, San Pedro and Mahuet
were so badly shaken that they were
practically ruined, while the shock
was plainly felt and damage was done
at Santa Ana, fully fifty miles from
,g'iere. 1t is impossible at this writing
N 10 form an idea as to the number OF
n lives which have been lost. Two
people were killed here, though there
were many almost miraculous escapes
from death. 1t is feared, however,
that there have been many people
killed in the smaller towns.

Miss Ava visited Il Catholic church

Of trustees is broadly catholic in its

A NEW HEALTH OFFICER.

A little breeze regarding the re-
moval of DR.. Townshen from this po-
sition, has at last blown over; the doc
tor would not resign, and the COM
missioners resigned him nolen volens.
There has been some awkwardness in
managing the affair, and a seeming
like of good faith as DR.. Robert Rey-
burn was invited by the commission
ers to accept the position, and after
gaining his consent he was quietly
dropped and DIR. Hammett given the
place. This gentleman comes strong
ly endorsed by the medical profession,
and citizens and it is thought the APP
pointment will prove highly accepta-

One cheering promise DR.. Hammett
makes, is, he will look into the gar
bage question and make ample ar
engagements for it's removal-a nui-
sance with which people have been
obliged to contend for long while,
until the question "what will we do
with it?' promises to be one
of vital importance. If the

PINS; GUESS HOW MANY


Mr.. Saks, the enterprising clothier,
has just closed another guessing con-
test, and fair young teacher of one
of the public schools is the fortunate
one in receiving the highest number
of votes. The pins were placed in q
glass jar, and every purchase made
in the store entitled you to a vote,
which was to be in favor of some pub
lie school teacher; the prize, a trip to
Europe or Californis or the money in
hand, as desired. Three reliable judges
were appointed to count the pins;
the jar was found to contain
$3.50, and the nearest guess was 024O.
1t is supposed that not less than 10000
votes were deposited, and if each vote
represents purchaser (however
small) made in the store, one can
easily see the benefit Of guessing
match to proprietor and prize winner
as well.
The spirit of benevolence is largely
on the increase, and humane purposes
are having practical application. In
former years, store clerks had no i'm
munities, their lives were daily
tread mill of tiresome duty, from
which there was no respite, unless at
the Christmas tide, when all the world
stayed at home to be happy.
