ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 12.-Miss So
phis Ashton aad Miss Annie Thomp-
son, daughter of the we'll known Pnila-
delphia physician, went to bathe at the
point of the beach where the Great
Egg harbor inlet joins the ocean at
Longport, five miles from here. They
Wers carried out by the strong under
tow. Both girls are fairly good swim
mers, but it was all in vain that they
struggled to regain the shore. They
were rapidly becoming exhausted when
with all their remaining strength they
cried for help There was little hope
they would be heard, for Longport has
no life guards aud the lower portion of
tie beach is usually deserted. 1t so
happened that Artie and Percy Rem
ington, sons Of prominent Lorgport
cottager, we're isalng in the vicinity.
They ran to the rescue. Both are pow.
erful swimmers aud impedad as they
were with their clothes, they expert
enced little difficulty in reaching the
completely exhausted and drowning
girls though none too soon. The re-
turn journey taxed their powers to the
utmost. When the shore was finally
reached the rescuers as well as the res.
cued girls were 50 weak that they could
10. stand. Percy Remington staggered
into the little village and told the
story. A party OF friends hurried to
the scene and found the remaining trio
so weak that they could not move.
They were stretched motionless on the
sand. They were conveyed to their
homes WHARF Miss Ashton soon recoy-
cred. Miss Thompson and Artie Rem
ington were so exhausted that it took
some time to revive them.

ner's jury this afternoon returned a
verdict of suicide IN the case Of Miss

ther investigation by the grand jury.
It was decided to give the letter writ

mother to the public, and 5hus set at
rest the many sensational rumors that
have been ahoat concerning the case
today. This letter corToborateS the
accounts already sent out, showing that
the girl killed herself because she was
jealous Of her younger sister. 1t also
establishes the Identity of the man who
betrayed her and whose desertion Of
her for her sisters favor was the cause
OF her suicide. This man Is NJ. L.
Whitlock. After telling her mother
that her sister Eve was at the Gate City
Hotel with Whtlock, Miss Singleton
wrote: "He is married man wita one
child and has bsen married eighteen
years. You need NOT bury me. Times
are too hard. Eve and Whitloch have

Farm ers Starving.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 9.-As result
Of the many exaggerated reports in Cir
culation as to droush destltuHon in
Nebraska, the Bee has secured ald pub.
llshed an accurate statement IN eac! !!
county from The county commissioners.
These reports indicate that the sctusl
condition Of the people IN the drou:h.
stricken counties is not, and does not
promise to become as serious as here
totore predicted. Oaiy in thu western
portion Of the State are there likely 10
be urgent demands for aid.
In Lincoln county, the situation Is
worse than elsewhere. The report from
there says: "Ol every hand abandon.
ed homesteads and whitensd or with
cred fields Of corn tell the story OF dis
couragemeDt and despair. Along the
streams where irrigation has furnished
moisture, farmers have succeeded in
raising crops. Elsewhere everything
has burned. Many farmesrs are too
poor to move away. With chsttel
mortgages on all their possessions, they
must leave bare handed or stay and
sterVe unless outside help is furnished.
Every day ne1 applications for county
charity evidence the growing distress.
State aid is absolutely necessary"
To indicate tho urgent need Of assis-
tance, may be said that correspondece
locking to the calling of convention
to consider the best methods for secur-
iag and rendering aid has been carried
on recently between many county cul-
Gals in these Western counties.

Water Your Horses Often.

Feeding q horse principally on grain
and driving it five hours without water
is like giving a man salt mackerel for
dinner and not allowing him to drink
before supper. time-Very unsatisfac-
tory for the man. If you know any
thing about the care Of horses and
have any sympathy for them, water
them as often as they want to drink
once an hour if possible. B7 doing
this you will not only be merciful to
your animal, but you will be a benefac'
tor to yourself, as they will do more
work, look better, and live longer. If
YOU are skeptlc and know more about
horses than any one else, you are posi-
tive that the foregoing is wrong, be-
cause you have had horses die with
watering them too much, and boldly
say that the agitators Of frequent wa
teriog are fools in your estimati01,an
yoa would not do such q thing. Just
reason for a moment snd figure out
whether the animal would have over
drunk and overchilled his stomach if
it had not been allowed to become
overthirsty. a driver who sits in his
wagon and lashes mis- Wornout, half
curTied, half-fed and hall .watered team
deserves to be punished as a crlmiual.

The Money O1e3tion /,

With the tariff question disposed Of
for the present, at least, the money
question vii! continue to grow in i'm
portance until it Is settled in the inter-
est of equity and justice to all, rich
and poor. While Congress was discus
sing the former matter, the people have
been discussing the latter, and the re-
suit is that the money question IS the
paramount issue IN our politics at this
time. 1t is a question that will not be
settled either until silver is restored to
its place as money by the side Of gold.
The Atlanta Constitution says selfish
interests have tried in vain to ignore it,
and ignorance has done its bsst to mud.
die it, but all to no purpose. It over.
laps and overreaches p9iGy lines. The
Republicans are trC ing hard to put
themselves IN line with the people on
this great issue. The Popullsts have
adopted it. Aud even the prohibition.
lists, who have heretofore dealt only in
questions of morals, have taken it up
and in two States of the northwest
they have declared for the free coinage
of silver. In a great many States the
politicians have succeeded in smother
ing the 10 oney question with other is.
sues, and in momentarily diverting
attention from it, but it has grown aud
is still growing and by the time the
next congress meets it will have com.
plete possession of the country. All
other issues will he subordinate to it,
and for the best of reasons. The people
will discover as the days roll by that
no tariff measure, no matter bow radi-
eel, can afford any reliefso long as the
standard money of the country-Which
is gold-continues to increase in value
as compared with the products OF hu-
man LABOR. People will discover that
there can be 10 relief IN tariff N easures
50 long as falling prices compel tnose
who oHn money to keep it out Of bust
ness. Tne cheapening of products by
means Of tariff reduction Is a healthy
and wholesome process so far as the
people are concerned, but tie cheaper
iog Of products by means OF the con-
scantly increasing value Of standard
money is process that kills all enter
prise and depresses all business. There
has been little furry in the stock
market as the result of the passage OF
the tariff bill, but this is purely specu-
lative, being based wholly on The ex-
pectations of those who are waiting for
turn in the tide that the settlement
Of the tariff question will restore good
times. We do not believe that the tar
If bill will at this time tend to restore
prices and business to the old level Of
prosperity. That result can only be
brought about by the settlement of the
financial questlon-the restoration of
silver to its old place as part of the
standard money of the country. In
this direction only will producers find
good prices, laboring men good wages,
and merchants good business. The
single gold ataniard means European
wages, European prices, European con-
ditions, and the elslaVemen5 of the
people by the money kings.

of strangers by attempts to do than Vio-
