THE SAVANNAH INSURED.
No news having been received from the
Inflated steamer yesterday, it is impossi-
bic to tell whether any part Of the wreck
or any of the cargo can be saved.
When the City of Savannah was first
built in 1877 she cost, as is shown by the
last report of Receiver Conner of the Cen
trail railroad, S251, 500. IS, and she was in
sured at the time of her loss for $3.50, 900.
Mr.. Conner said yesterday that he
hardly thought that the company will
build a new ship Just at the present time,
as the business hardly warranted it dur
ing the greater part Of the year The
usual investigation in the case of such
wreck will have to be held, and a report
will go to the government as well as to
the COMPANY.

LITTLE DAMAGE AT WARSAW.
The Island Escaped the Storms
Wrath.

Wrath.
DR.. A. Oemler, who spent Sunday
night on Warsaw with his family during
the storm, reports that the damage there
was very slight.
The only damage to the pavilion was the
undermining of the pillars of the piazza
on the side next to the ocean, causing the
piazza to sag down. No glass even in the
pavilion were blown out, which appears
wonderful, considering the number that
were broken by the wind in the city.
Expecting that the glass would be
blown out of the windows of the pavilion,
DR.. Oemler and his family took refuge in
small house near by. Some
limbs of trees were blown
down on the roof
The wharf at Warsaw was not carried
away, only a few of the plank being
lOosened.
DR.. Oemler reports that the cross ties
from the Tybee railroad are lying all over
his field on Wilmington Island, a distance
of about three miles from the railroad
The damage on Wilmington Island was
also slight

Storm INSURANCE.

Sundays experience demonstrates
that storm insurance in this vicinity is
just as necessary as fire insurance.
Messrs, M. Ferst's Sons & Co. are
rewarded for their prudent foresight in
carrying storm policies on their valuable
stock, while many owners of dwellings
and other property are cOngratulating
themselves upon the exercise of like sa-
gacity. For ten years past insurance
against damage by storms has been an
important feature in the business of Mr.
Charles f. Prendergast, whose advertise
ment appears elsewhere in this issue.-ad

PICKED UP DELIRIoUs.
William Hazard Taken Aboard by the
Captain of the Bellevue

Captain OF the Bellevue
William Hazard, who used to keep a
ship chambers shop down on Dog Ham
mock, near Sapelo, was picked up near
Darien, said Capt Garnett of the steamer
Bellevue yesterday, in a small sloop-
rugged boat. Capt. Garnett returned yes
terday from Darien
Hazard had been out sixteen hours
without food or water, and he was
suffering terribly from the pangs
of thirst and hunger. He
had stood it until he became delirious.
Hazards store and stock were entirely
swept away by the water, and when he
saw that it was going, he made for a
small sloop yacht which he owned and
determined to risk his chances in her.
From that time he was out sixteen hours,
until he became delirious, when he was
picked up and taken care of.

THE SOUTH BOUND ALL RIGHT.
All the Damage Along the Line Fully
Renairad Yesterday.


The damage to the track of the South
Bound railroad as a result of the storm
was fully repaired yesterday and all
trains will be running on schedule time
to-day.
There were numerous washouts all
along the line, especially beyond Dem
mark and going towards Columbia. 1t was
reported on the streets that there was a
big washout on the road between Fairfax
and Denmark night before last which
had resulted in a damage to the track
that would cost several thousand dollars
TO repair. This, however, was a mistake
There was a washout of about forty feet
between the two points mentioned, but it
was repaired after a few hours work, and
trains were soon running all the way
through from Columbia.
This finished up the work of repairing
all the bad washouts on the line and
trains can now run through without any
difficulty. The train from Columbia due
at 8 o'clock last night, arrived at 10
o'clock, two hours late.

Etiquette for a Guest.

Punctuality ut meals, proposal to
withdraw to ones room under the pre-
text of letter writing if it be suspected
that the hostess has something to occu-
ply her particularly or even to relieve
her of our continuous society, a readi-
ness to be easily amused or interested,
all contribute toward makinga welcome
guest. An unselfish spirit is always the
best guide. The room allotted to visit
ors is generally dainty one and often
contains choice articles which require
careful use. Often cherished belong

Medicine as Il profession for women
Is less than fifty years old. DR.. Mary
Iakrzewska, of Boston, has recently
published All interesting account of the
early struggles Of the pioneers in this

Elizabeth Blackwell were stirred by the
idea that an important work might be
done by Well-instructed medical women.
The naturalization of this view result

sible to be endured by any but the
strongest and most courageous women

Some Names.

Speaking of names, there are some
very interesting facts related in the
annals of the early history of Provi-
dence, II. |. 1t seems strange that
they refer to those not very far remote
from us as time goes. In the latest
volume it is noticeable that large tami
lies of children were the rule, and that
the names bestowed upon them were
often curious selections. Bethia, Abb
gail, FreeloVe, Kezia and Jemima were
some Of the names imposed on the little
girl babies, and Uriah, Iuriel, Media
bah and jeremiah are samples of the
names given to the boys. The promises
made in records of apprenticeship are
curious and characteristic. John Tailor,
of Newport, in l706 bound out his son to
Iacharyah Mathewson and wife of
Providence, to be their servant until he
was u years of age, with the proviso:
"Taverns or ale houses he shall not
frequent but on his masters business;
neither shall he use any unlawful games;
he shall not absent himself from his
masters service nor house by night nor
by day without his masters knowledge
and allowance; but shall at all times be
careful, diligent and trusty about said
inasterand dame in their business" On
the other hand, Mr.. Mathewson prom
ised to provide the boy with sufficient
meat, drink and apparel, to learn him
to read and to write and to tan leath-
er and to make shoes, and at the age
OF II to set him free and to furnish
him with two suits of clothes.

Books on Cheap Paper.

VI. Delisle, the principal librarian at
the Biblotheque Rationale in Paris,
warns us that our modern literature is
destined to perish. OF the 1000 and
odd volumes published annually in
France, not one, he thinks, will remain
after a certain time. Cheap paper is a
splendid thing in its way, but this is the
price we must pay for it. Old fashioned
paper made from rags has stood the
test of hundreds of years, as the many
fine specimens of titteenth-centurv
printing show, TO say nothing of still
earlier books in manuscript Nova
days, however, paper is made of all
sorts of material of more or less
perishable character. In particular, as
NJ. Delisle points out, books printed on
paper made from wood pulp soon be-
gin to rot away. At first the pages are
covered by yellow spots, and these are
replaced in course of time by holes.
Even so-called hand made papers are
often no more durable, being treated
with chemicals that slowly destroy them

In the latter part Of July and during
August the Mexican, or Californian, "
as he is locally styled, has his greatest
field sport-hunting the elk. At this
season elk are the latest They come
down from the mountains, foothills and
crags attracted by the luXIriant pastur-
age of the valley lands coursed by
streams or fronting upon the sea. In
these favored localities the heavy dews

elk cannot run 50 fast, Ordinarily they
give the fiectest horse a close race.
The Mexican elk hunter is armed"
only with Il lariat and Il luna, a crescent
shaped knife which is tied to the end OF
q slender pole about ten feet In length,
The luna somewhat resembles the moon,
hence its name. The luna IL used to
hamstring the elk after the lariat has
been thrown over his hottis.
A party of ten ur fifteen Mexicans
thus equipped and mounted on the
tleetest horses will charge band of 100
or more, each man selecting his victim.
On being assoed the elk will
plunge violently, almost pulling the
horse forward, for the RATA is fastened
to the p,lmmel of the saddle. But the
trained horse throws his weight back

strained to hold the powerful elk in
check The Mexican sits calmly on the
horse, talking sarcastically to the strug-

the animal eXhntlsts himself the Mexi-

take the trouble to dismount.
Immediately he is off after another,
for the stampeded band will soon
escape 10 the foothills unless they have
been run intosa glen or on an isthmus,
when the slaughter is terrible and

FOUR MONTHS IN A CALM.
Under the Tropical sun Without
Hreath of Wind Stirring.

I
Breath of Wind Stirring.
Held for nearly four months in an
equatorial doldrum or dead sea calm
until her provisions were exhausted and
her crew on the verge of starvation was
the terrible experience OF the American
ship Edward O'Brien, which had long
been given up for lost.
The ship left Victoria, h. c. early in
December last for London with q large
cargo Of wheat, and nothing was heard
of her until June 22d, when she was
sighted by the steamer Calico lying
signals telling that she was short of
food.
IT was learned that the ship had made
a fine run down the Pacific Coast and
around the Horn, but when near the
equator she had been caught in one Of
the dreaded Gains that prevail in that
latitude. For three months she re-
manned within q distance OF half mile
from where she struck the calm, and
during that time there was not enough
wind to fill even the iightest of her
sails. Finally Il small current, probably
made by the storm many miles away,
appeared and served to send her slowly
out Of the locality which threatened at
one time to become n place of death for
all on board. On this current the ship
drllted for almost another month.
Then a welcome wind carried her back
into the paths Of navigation.
When the Calico was encountered
the water supply of the Edward o. Brien
was exhausted, food was almost down to
the last ration and in few more hours
the men on board would have been
beyond help. After being supplied
with food and water the ship proceeded
on her way to London auckland
