Rescued, Out of Twenty-eight.
LONDON, Aug. News of a sad &C.
cident to a party of excursionists was
received this evening from Port talbot,
a town in Glamorganshire, Wales.
Twenty.eight pleasure seekers from
Ystrad took boat at Port Talbot and,
in spite OF repeated warnings of danger,
the boat being overloaded, put out into
Swansea bay.
The rowers being inexperienced the
boat became unmanageable and was
carried into the breakers. A heavy sea
finally struck the boat, causing tho
occupants to rush TO the side, when she
capslzed, and all were thrown into the
water.
Twenty-Five, including several women
and children, were drowned. Others
were picked up by pilot boat. The
man who had charge Of the boat and
two assistants swan ashore.
The accident was witnessed by hun.
dreds of persons on shore, who were
powerless to render any assistance.

PocoMoKE CITY, MD, Aug. 6.-The
Pocomoke City Gasolene Boat Com
pany's vessel, the William A. Winant,
has been completed, and made her trial
trip Saturday. She left this wharf ut 0
o'clock amidst the deafening salutes of
mill and factory whistles, and moved
toward Snow Hill. She remained there
until 8 o'clock in the afternoon, and
then started for Pocomoke City.
While at the wharf at Snow Hill she
was boarded by hundreds OF people who
were anxious to witness the movement
of her machinery. Captain H. A. De-
Kay, master of the boat, and under
whose supervision she was built, and
the directors also are well pleased with
the vessel, and are confident that she
will be equal to the task for which she
was constructed. The distance from
Snow Hill to Pocomoke City is IS miles
and the Winant made the run against a
strong head tide in two hours and 20
minutes.
The Wlnant is the only side. wheel
gaFolene boat in the United States, and
her construction has been watched with
great interest throughout the country,
This afternoon j. B. Hail, president OF
the company, received letter from a
firm In New York, asking for photo

The Minister TO Siam in Trouble Over
His Private Letters on tho siamese
Situation.
SpRINdTIELp, Mo-, Aug. s.-The re.
port comes from Washington that the
State Department is much dspleased
with the publication of a letter from
Colonel S. II. Boyd, minister to Siam,
to ex-Minister Holderman, in which he
freely expressed his ideas on the
Siamese situation and made uncom-
planetary remarks about Secretary
Gresham.
1t is learned here that Colonel Boyd
wrote the letter to Mr.. Holderman for
his personal consideration, and II was
not intended for publication. Colonel
Boyd wrote TO Mr.. Holderman and
asked why he had published it.
1t is said Mr.. Holderman replied that
theletter was SO much in sympathy with
his own views that he could not help
giving il out. 1t is said Colonel Boyd
has resigned.

again of public debt being public
blessing, and the bigger the debt the
more benetcent the blessing.
OF course the error Of this plea lies in
tine implied contention that this money
would not be disbursed at all If it were
not paid over to the pensioners. The
money thus disbursed is not created; it
is simply transferred from one mans
pocket to be expended by another. If
There were only half the present num-
Der Of Delaware pensioners--and we are
inclined to consider It pretty liberal
allowance that one.half Of that number
should be rightfully on the rolls, under
a just and honest administration of PEN
sion disbursements 20 years after the
war has ended-there would BIO Just
as much money in the community
and just as many people to spend it,
and the probability is that there would
be just as much money expended. The
difference would be that the taxpayers
at large would have $4,000 more per
month to spend, instead of having that
amount taken out of their pockets and
handed over to small fraction of their
number to disburse for them, and the
taxpayers in mass would DO better off
and under less pressure to economize
in many little things than they are now.
1t is good system that commits, as
far as practicable, the expenditure of
money to the man who earns it. This
pension argument is substantially the
same fallacy under which the working
men of the country were so long deluded
into the support of protection for the
sake of protection. 1t was represented
to them that they did not feel the in
direct taxation upon which the protec.
tive system rested, and that this taxa
ton enabled the beneficiaries thereof to
pay high wages, and, like the pension
disbursements, keep money in circula-
ton. But this money does not grow on
trees. 1t represents somebody's labor,
and, in the end, the great bulk of it
comes out of the workingman's pocket.
The proper thing to do is to leave as
much of it in his pocket, for him to
spend individually and not by proxy, as
is consistent with the necessities Of a
just system of government, honestly
and economically administered.
AS we stated on Saturday, Delaware
sent S,763 soldiers to the Revolutionary
war, and, in 1871, nine years after the
cessation of hostilities, had ouly 81
names on her pension roll. Now, Is
years after the close of our civil war
we have $500 or more, and the list has
been steadily growing. The late Gen.
eral Garfield pointed out 20 years ago
that the number of pensioners ought tc
diminish as the war grew more remote
and that the expenditures on this &C.
count should steadily decrease, unless
our legislation should be unwarrantably
extravagant;" and this is the teaching Of
common sense. If our pension legisla.
ton and pension administration haC
been taken out of politics and con
Quoted upon strictly honest and JUS
business basis, our pension rolls would
have been smaller now than in Gar
fields day, instead of being larger by
hundreds of thousands Of names.

EXCITING TIMES At ATLANTIC CITY.


Eight Persons in One Day Caught Ia q
Dangerous Gully in tho Beach, But All
Rescued.
ATLANTIC Cry, N. j., Aug. The
beach IN tho vicinity of Virginia and
Maryland avenues was the scene of
eight exciting rescues to-day, the cause
of all being the treacherous slue exist
ing in that locality. DIR. Wurts Of
Philadelphia was the first to be taken
in by the guards. He was in bathing
near the foot of Maryland avenue when
he dropped into the slue and called for
help. Life Guards Lyman and Davis
went promptly to tho rescue and sue
ceeded in getting him to the shore in an
exhausted condition. Directly after
wards two men and woman were
caught in the same spot, when the life
savers again went TO the rescue and got
them to the beach,
A short time after these four rescues
the lower end Of the sluo, at Virginia
avenue, claimed for victims. Mrs. Lille
Hagan and Mrs. Joseph Bradley of Pittsl
burg, Miss Elizabeth Robinson Of ALE.
gheny and Charles Wise Of Philadelphia
were bathing at the spot, when they
were caught in the treacherous gully,
Life Guards Repp and Mills heard their
cries for help and at once started out In
their boat. The four persons wero
brought safely to shore, though Mrs.
| Bradley was unconscious when landed
on the beach, and was only brought
back to life after the using Of all known
methods of resuscitation in such cases.
This gully has been u constant menace
! TO the lives of tho thousands Of bathers
in that vicinity, and it is probable that
some methods of safety on the spot will
| soon be adopted.

Saturday, shut of the supply heretofore

Arrangements are being made to use

the operation of the collieries will be

1t was thought that the Mahanoy City

The DELAWARE GAZETTE AND STATE
JOURNAL prints to-day complete
hist of the pensioners accredited to
this State, with the amount paid to each
man. This list has been transcribed
from the official records and may be re-
lied on.
We believe that this is the first news
paper publication Of such list and that
GAZETTE & JOURNAL Is the first paper in
the whole country to prepare and print q
list of pensioners of the war of the re-
bellion covering a whole State. To be
sure the State is small one, but the
compilation Of the list has involved a
great deal of labor Notwithstanding.
Time and again, within the past de-
cade, has the press called for the publ
cation Of such list covering the whole
country, SO that the names of those en-.
rolled thereon might be so subjected to
the scrutiny of the public. To-day we
meet this demand for publicity, so far a;

Since EVERY EVENINGS publication,
last Saturday, of Delaware's long list of
pensioners, we have heard one plea set
up in defence Of this exhibit which
strikes US as deserving of notice, This
is to the effect that these pension dis
bursements set great deal of money
atioat in the community. For example
assuming that there are $500 live pen
sions in that list, averaging monthly
payments of $40, the argument is that
this means $4,000 per month paid over
by the government to individuals in
this State, the greater part of which
finds its way into channels Of local
trade-in payments for rent, groceries,
clothing, boots and shoes, beer, and
various other necessaries of life.
This is like the old problem of lifting
ones self by pulling at ones bootstraps,
and at ople suggests the query-If it be
a good thing for community to put
$4,000 month ahoat in this way, why
should we not be twice as we'll off if we
had 100000 month to pay out in pen
sions? Obviously the logical conclu-
sion would be that the larger the pen
sion list, the more money it would set
ailoat in community, and the more
prosperous thatcommunity would neccs-
sarily De. Which is the old fallacy over

Furniture Trade Sale

An August Trade Sale Of
Furniture. Why not? Why
shouldn't the manufacturers
be glad to have no dull season
and no storage costs. Better
by far for them and the people
back of them to keep the
wheels going, even if they
made almost no profits. Bet
ter for Jow to get Furniture a
little out of season and get a
third or a quarter more for the
money.
We reasoned that way three
years ago-and each August
since-with mostgratifying re-
suits to the manufacturers, to
us, to yen.
Now we are reads for the
F0m'th annual
Furniture Trade SalS
under conditions which far sur
pass either of the preceding
ones in interest.
Only the leading makers
were consulted, and only the
choice Of their goods taken.
Parloy SustS,
Chamber Suits,
SiaedoayaS,
Dining Tables,
Ch16onleyS,
Book Gases,
China Closets,
and variety of other articles
of the very best material and
workmanship in their several
grades have been gathered at
prices heretofore unheard of.
The sale began on Tuesday,
August I.
Every piece of Furniture
we sell now means something
to a workingman, somewhere.
We will pack the goods and
have them ready to be sent
home September rst, Septem-
Der 18th, or even October 1st,
if it will accommodate YOU.
Three days work is better
than no work, but a full weeks
work would be the best of all.
Whatever we can sell for the
manufacturers means buster
carvers and cabinet-makers
and brighter faces for other
anxious mechanics.
Almost every part of the
store has put on new activity
under the influence Of the
TRADE SALE.
Manufacturers and import
ers with overloads or with sur
plusage of any sort, urge us
to pass their goods out to you
at little or no profit to them
often at less than cost. If the
qualities are right we are glad
to do it.
This is surely a harvest time
for wide-awake housekeepers.

Delaware sent 3,7e3 men to the Revo-
lutionary war; grand showing for our
little State in the struggle for liberty
and independence. Out of this num-
Der there were, in 1901, nine years
after the cessation of hostilities be-
tween the colonies and the mother
country, but "a pensioners on the
rollsl Their names and the amount
OF pension received by each man are
given in scharf's History of Delaware.
The aggregate pension roll of this small
band of Delaware's Revolutionary
heroes was $16S per month. That pen.

Several weeks ago the New York Sun
declared in an editorial leader that
"there are now paid more pensions, by
hundreds of thousands, on account of
services in the war, than there were
soldiers present for duty in all the
armies of the Union at any time be-
tween the first shot on Sumter and the
| surrender of General Lee to General
Grant Nothing illustrates better than
this striking fact the magnitude of abuse
that has grown up in the name of graft
tude to the nations defenders. The
| present army of pension drawers, right
full and fraudulent, exceeds by hundreds
of thousands the whole fighting strength
of the Union army actually engaged in
military operations at any given time
during the four years while the fighting
was on" And the Sun went on to prove
this declaration. 1t showed that at no
time, between Sumter and Appomattax,
did the aggregate strength of all the
Union armies present at the front for
service reach 100000 officers and men;
while the number of persons drawing
pensions on account of the civil war
had mounted to 846,S93 at the close of
the fiscal year 1892, and was estimated
at about GAG, 000'at the time the editorial
was written!
Tho aggregate of enlistments during
the war was 2,7S0,47s. But the record
Of enlistments and the number of indi-
viduals enlisted are two different things.
Some men enlisted for go days, re-
enlisted for three months, re.enlisted for
one year and re-enlisted for three years.
Every such soldier of course figures in
the record of enlistments as four men.
The most careful and generally accepted
estimate of the individual enlistments,
that given by Mr.. Blaine in an appendix
to his "Twenty Years of Congress" puts
the aggregate number of different indi-
viduals who served during the war al
2,063,391.
In table furnished to Congress by
the Secretary of War, ia compliance
with a resolution Of the House of Rep.
resentatives adopted in December, 1866
with respect to the number of volun.
eeers called for by the President at vari
GUS periods, it appears that the aggre
gate number of troops furnished BY
Delaware was 1851. The number re
duced to three years standard wa.
10,sO3.
The list of Delaware pensioners tina,
we print to-day numbers about 1900
Hence the Delaware pensioners number
about 25 per cent of the individuals fur
nished by this State to the Unior
armies. This is, we are glad to be abb,
to say, twice as good showing as th,
Sun made in its summing up for thu
nation at large. The Sun said in TIL
summary:
In other words, the number of pension
on account of the war, q years after tn
end OF the war, is about one-half of tn
total number of ndiyiduals-soldiers
malingerers, bounty jumpers, deserters
and all-whose names at any time durin,
the four years figured on paper as belong
ing TO the Union army.
