AN AGE OF RESERVATIONS.

1t Causes the Tall Man to Sigh, But the
Short Man Coughed.
This" said the tall man, contem-
platively. appears to be, at least SO
far as New York City is concerned. an
age of authorizations Everything is
abbreviated. even time, and may say
that is the case especially in the pay
ment of notes.-the time is always toe
short"
MAY | ask" said the short man.
what has suggested to you this kind
of th.ught?'
That" said the tall man, and he
pointed to the advertisement of a thea.
ter on which, after the names of the
play and the star, was this mysterious
announcement:
"Ev'gS Mats. Wed. Sat"
There" went on the tall man, ''is a
sample of one style of authorizations.
| cannot but think that that advertise
ment must be a source of WEAKNESS to
the foreigner who is studying our lam
guage, and who attempts, as all OF
them do, to read the signs as he walks
along the street. How in the world is
he to knew that it means that perform
ances are given in the evening and at
Wednesday and Saturday matinees? 1t
certainly does not say So"
That's So" said the short man. "At
the opera one night, l remember, a
countryman and his wife sat behind
me. The names of the ballet dancers
were printed on the bill as Mile So
and-so and Mile So-and-so. The
countryman, after reading the bill,
says to his wife:
"This is funny, Mary; the front
names of all these gals is Milly.'"
YES" said the tall man, '.it's very
misleading. But it's not only words
that are abbreviated. Nearly every
thing is abbreviated Take for in
stance; that is abbreviated And l was
panied to notice this morning that the
trousers of my youngest son are abbre-
Waited. Everything, in fact seems to
be abbreviated, except my appetite. !"
He sighed.
'Cheer up" said the short man. ''I'll

They rose from their seats in the
lobby of the hotel, and walked toward
the doors, on one of which was the
word pull and on the other the word

on the pull-door and then pulled on the
push-door. Both angrily tried it again,
succeeded, and disappeared.-N. Y.

TIE ,cro,ag scdy,
with Catarrh, is to stop it without
curing it. The poisonous, irrita-
ting snuffs, strong caustic solutions,
creams" balms and the like may,
perhaps, palliate for a time. But
they may drive the disease to the
lungs. The wrong way is full of
danger.
The right way is proved one.
It's with DIR. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy. 1t cures, perfectly and per-
manently, by its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties,
the worst cases of Chronic Catarrh.
1t has proved itself right, thou
sands of times, when everything
else has failed.
And this makes its proprietors
wiling to prove that it's the right
thing for you, no matter how bad
your case or of how long standing.
If they can't cure your Catarrh,
they'll pay you $500 in cash
They mean it.
They're certain of their medi-
cine.

NAPOLEON NEVER SMOKED.
The Great aIan of Destiny ABhOrred
Tobacco.

Tobacco.
Napoleon Bonaparte could never smoke,
although when in Egypt he attempted
several times to do so in order to please
the people. On one occasion, when the
Persian ambassador presented to him, on
behalf of the Shah, very valuable and
gorgeous pipe. call diamonds and rare jew
els" NapOleOn's attendant filled the pipe
and light was applied, but in the way the
emperor went to work no smoke would
have appeared until doOmsday.
He merely opened and shut his lips in
the energetic manner of a mechanical fig
ure. The attendant Ventured to observe
that his majesty was not proceeding in the
usual manner, and showed him the correct
way in which to manage his pipe of peace.
But the inapt pupil persistently returned
to his bad imitation of yawning, until
tired and vexed with repeated failures, he
at last desisted, saying: Constant, do
you light the pipe; cannot"
So said, so done. And we are informed
that the pipe was returned to him with the
tobacco burning at a furious rate and tre-
mendOus amount of smoke. Soon yelled
in vapOr, the unfortunate Napoleon was
again in difficulty; the smoke, which he
did not know how to get rid of, went down
his throat and up and out through his eyes
and nose. AS soon as he regained breath
he gasped the words: "Take it away
What an inaictiOn! What pigs they must
be who smoke! 1 am so ill" And ill, we
are told, he was for some time afterward,

a First-cIass EstabIishment.

Olympia can boast of as good a plumb
ing establishment as any town on the
Sound. The well-known firm of Martin &
McCarty, 215 Fourth street, are rapidly
gaining a wide reputation throughout the
city for their superior quality of workman
ship. They keepau the modern appliances
for doing frst-class plumbing, and, being
practical men, any work entrusted in
their hands is sure of being done in
the best possible manner. In their shop
can be found a varied assortment of fit
tings of all kinds for bath tubs, closets, gas
fixtures; also, fine porcelain and copper
bath tubs and decorated wash basins. This
firm are the agents for the celebrated N.
Clark Co. sewer pipe, the best made upon
the coast. There is no need of anybody in
Olympia going away from home to get
plumbing work when we have such an eff
ficient and enterprising firm as Martin &
McCarty, 215 Fourth street.

Killed at his. Post.

J. L. Worthy, the faithful old watch
Limo road, was instantly killed between
and o'clock yesterday morning by a
passing freight engine.
Mr.. Worthy had been the watchman at
tho trestle for four or five years. At
night he carried lantern and as each
train came along he got on the side of
the track nearest to the engineer,
waved his lantern as signal that he was
on duty and then crossed tho trestle to
see that no fire had been dropped.
Yesterday morning he was seated on the
West side Of the track waiting for South
bound freight train. He was probably
tho engine. The engine was coming from
the South and the watchman's duty was
to be on the East side Of the track.
The engine was almost upon him when
he seized his lantern and tried to get
across the track. The engine was too
close on him and struck him. The en-
gineer, T. d. Haynes, and colored fire.
man saw the lantern fly into the air and
fall to the ground. They knew they had
struck the watchman, and stopped the
engine. They went back and found the
lifeless body of Mr.. Worthy beside the
track. The body was not mangled, but
blood flowed from bruises In the head
and in the breast. The body was carried
into the watchmans house, right on the
side of the track, put down in the pres
ence of the Mortified wife and small son
without any words of consolation or ex-
PLANTATION, and then che engine crew
mounted the engine and left. Mrs. Wor-
thy knew nothing of her husband s death
until the mon walked into the house with
his body.
The killing was reported at the Air
Line depot and the engineer went on to
Spartanburg, his destination, with the
engine, leaving colored trainman to tes-
tify before the coroner. Coroner New
man was notified.
Mr.. Worthy came to this place from
Thomson, Ga, and. his remains will be
taken there for interment. Hewas about
60 years old and wife and one son lived
with him. He had been an efficient man.
Whether blame can be attached to the
railroad men is not known. The negro
trainman is the only witness and his
statement would exonerate the engineer.
Mr.. Worthy had not been expecting the
engine and died trying to do his duty

EDITORS IHTELL1GENCER: L notice In
the Peoples Adroratc piece from Rarkor's 8
Creek where some one has tried to insult
or traduce Mr. Hiott. 1t seems they have
gotten behind the Church to do this low
trick, and tried to make it appear that his
sentiments wero voiced by that Church
and community, which is utterly false"
There is no one that can bring aught
against Mr.. Hlott since lie has been pastor
Of that Church, or criticise any OF his
work He has proved blessing to that
Church and surrounding country. 1t has
been more prosperous since his connection
with it than ever before. lie has been
faithfully preaching tc this people seven
years, and to think this impertinent
slauderer would sneak in behind the
Church and try to scorn one who is far bis
superior, and, lower still, in trying to
make the impression that it was the
Church sentiments as well, which he
knows to be prodiguous "falsehood.
Now if this esteemed writer of the Ad.
rocatc, and certainly l mean no discour-
tesy, was as woll known elsewhere as be is
at home it would be quito different but
believe his rep" is confined to few

see it aud believe it was tho opinion of
the neighborhood, but not so We are glad
