Rough Weather off Charleston~Five
Fishermen Drowned---A Tug Ashore.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. II Two
boats of the fishing feet were capsized
by the heavy seas eff the bar yester-
day and five of the crew drowned, all
negroes. The weather is very rough
outside and the tug B. T. Morse, of
Bath, NJ, which went ashore on the
Jetties yesterday trying to get into the
harbor without a pilot, will probably
go to pieces. Her house has already
been washed away. The tug Right
Arm from New York, is here trying to
get her off, but the effort is doubtful
in view of the heavy seas.
The schooner Thackaray, which was
being towed in by the Morse, is safely
anchored at quarantine.

A GREAT city

The startling statement II made by
Secretary Charles -. Kellogg. OF the
Charity Organization Society, that the
amount of ten million dollar IL given
away in private charity In ordinary
years In New York, and the inevitable
conclusion drawn from 1t IL that in "A
year OF such general distress as the
present double that sum will scarcely
be sufficient TO provide relief for the
DOR of the city.
Twenty million dollars given out of
the pockets of individuals voluntarily to

benevolence. Even for no wealthy Il

THE ELECTION FRAUDS.

Fifty-siX persons were arrested In this

Some people argue that the face should
never be washed with soap. but surely
a surface so exposed to all the small

BLUE LAWS REVIVED.

The courts are constantly m%onkeying
with the Sunday laws and rendering de-
cisions first one way and then another,
until n person may well be puzzled to tell
whether they live in the present century
or a hundred years ago. In some places
people are being prosecuted for selling
Sunday newspapers. and now the Court
OF Appeals decides that II Is a penal
offense to 20 out fishing o Sunday. Yet
the newspaper keeps people out of mis-

less behind the age han the fagot. the

decent person. especially In this country
would be willing to see Sunday desecrated
or the good order and dccency OF the

No doubt the Court OF Appeals is cor

Keep Your Hat On, but Smile.

To the Editor:
When Harry Sampson wishes to do away with
the practice Of raising the hat to ladies' In Winter
he inaugurates a reform which has much to rec
ommend It. I am a very sensitive young lady.
and, like the rest OF young ladies. love to be given
a pleasant greeting by my gentlemen friends. II
Mr.. Sampson was to meet or accost me would
cheerfully relieve him Of the work and danger
incident to the removal OF his hat, provided he
favored me with a sweet and pleasant smile. To
me a dear smile signifies more both Of respect
and affection than any movement Of the hat. No
young man could offend my sense OF etiquette
by falling to remove his hat II | only had the
pleasure Of b~eholding his face wreathed in smiles.
I could look on such a young man forever without
firing, and with such a deep sense Of admiration
as to make his departure a source Of %unfeigned
regret. Very areCtionately. MAGGIE FLYNN.
