TIE COMING WOMAN.
WHAT She Does Now and VIII Con-
tinue to 90 for Ages to Come.

tlnue TO 10 Ior ages TO Come.
She rides bicycle, goes to cooking
school, wears boomers, attends political
meetings, organizes all kinds of REFORM
and to cap the climax she has been al
lowed to register and vote. Verify. in
these fn-de-siecle days her sphere of ac-
ton widens. for she is still the queen of
the home. She trains a coming genera
ton, keeps a sharp eye on the marketing
and selects meats and vegetables for the
days dinner
In the latter connection there is one
thing that will interest her, for she is an
intelligent reader of advertising. For good
and sufficient reasons some people in bust
ness deserve her considerati more than
others. Some have facilities for conduct
ing their business which cannot be at
tanned by others. You'd hardly expect
the less favored concern, buying from
hand to mouth" to cope with Logan,
the butcher, who, through untiring energy
and enterprise has become the leading
caterer Of this city. Neither is it reason
able to expect q s good service from those
whose experience is limited and who do
not have superior assistants to attend to
every detail Of their business. Logan
does not wish to convey the impression
that there are not good, reliable men in
the same business, for Savannah can
boast with pride of her frst-class butch
ers, but
DO they all do business right?
Do they cater to the public wants in the
proper manner?
Do they watch every opportunity to
secure the finest delicacies as soon as they
appear at the markets of the world?
Do they endeavor to get them to serve
to their customers, no matter what the
cost?
Do they have representatives in the
west to select their game poultry and beef
and ship it in carload lots, so that the
most fastidiuos customer cannot fail to
be satisfied?
Do they lead or do they follow Logan
in his modern idea Of catering to the pub
lie?
Ask the coming women" If you
don't happen to see her right soon, just
come around to Logan's; she's coming
there nearly every day, and win be COM
ing as long as Logan continues to make
his establishment becoming to the com
ing woman"-and he will for some time
to come. Come arOund-ad.

An Interesting Creature.

The slug and it's habits and peculiari-
ties are well worth a little attention
from those who are fond Of the unusual
and curious things Of earth. A family,
upon moving into house, remarked
that the cellar was lined all over with
thin, shining tracks where some Shiny
creature had crawled For long time
the makers Of the tracks could not be
found, but were at last discovered un-
derneath box in one corner where the
mice had carried some leaves and pieces
Of vegetables. They were put into q
glass fruit jar and fed with leaves and
scraps OF vegetables They seemed to eat
but little, but were continually crawl
ing about the jar. At the slightest
sound they contracted into q length Of
not more than az inches, remaining
perfectly quiet for few minutes, when
they cautiously put out their fee ers and
began to move The head seemed to 90
on, and the tail was still until the body
measured almost 6 inches. when grad
ually the entire length moved slowly
along. As it crawled up the side of the
jar the under side Of the body could be
clearly seen through the transparent
material Its propulsive power seemed
to be sort of endless chain arrange
ment that ran lengthwise from head to
tail This slug Is as thick a. one's little
finger. The longest specimen measured
tribe over 9 inOhes in length. New

A Queer African People.

Strange stories are told of the Dokos,
who live among the moist, warm bam-
boo woods to the south of Kaffa and
Susa in Africa Only feet high, Of a
dark olive color, savage and naked, they
have no fire. They live only on ants,
mice and serpents, diversified by few
roots and fruits. They let their nails
grow long, like talons, the better to dig
for ants and the more easily to tear in
pieces their favorite snakes. The Dokos
used to be invaluable as slaves, and they
were taken in large numbers. The slave
hunters used to hold up bright colored
clothes as they came to the bamboo
woods, where these human monkeys still
live, and the poor Dokos could not re-
sist the attractions offered by such su
perior people. They crowded round
them and were taken in thousands. In
slavery they were docile, attached,
obedient, with few wants and excellent
health. These queer people have one
fault-a love for ants, mice and SER
penis and speaking to Yer with their
heads on the ground and their heels in
the air. Yer is their idea Of a superior
power, to whom they talk in this COM
ical manner when they are dispirited or
angry or tired Of ants and snakes and
longing for unknown food.-Popular

FRISCO NOT BENEFITED.
The War in the East Has Not Done Tha
Port Much Good.

The War In the East Has n OF Done Ihat
Port Much Good.
SAN Francisco, October 13.-Beyond
the sale of few shipments of -four and
canned goods the merchants of San
Francisco have not derived much bene-
fit from the war in the Orient, says a
morning paper. Local wholesalers claim
that they cannot compete with the Ca
madam Pacific and the cheap transporta-
ton and manufacturing concerns of Eu-
rope. They say that the war cannot do
the port of San Francisco any good. Re-
ports from Japan and China, however,
tend to disprove the belief, and show
that it is want of energy and business
promptness on our own part that is
standing in our way. Late advices re-
ceived via Victoria from Japan say the
local steamer and cargo-ship service of
that country and China have been great
ly demoraliZed by the war. Shipping is
at standstill, and some ports are sadly
in need of certain lines of merchandise.
For the benefit of our Northern neigh
bors that have extensive coal mines the
following quotation is copied from let
ter received in this city few days ago ::
"Japan's coal stock has nearly all been
bought up at high premium, and the
price of coal has advanced nearly 100 per
cent. with ready sales. Australian coal
has not been shipped here in any guam
tity for long time, and most of the Eng
lish Goals are too high priced to handle. !"
Some of our Pacific Coast hulls might
find employment carrying coal to Asia.

Their Parade Last Night the Occasion
of Much Rioting.
New YORK, October 13.-The assem-
blage of cloakmakers in Rutgers square
tonight, preparatory to their parade
and mass meeting, was marked by in
discriminate clubbing by the police OF
the Madison-street station under COM
mand of Captain Grant. Revolvers were
drawn and shots were fired in the air.
Three times the gathering was dispersed.
The square was the scene of riot until
Superintendent Byrnes' permit to pa
rade arrived. Even then the smuggling
and jostling continued. Women and
children were treated alike. The parade
was divided into two sections. The first
went off without interruption, but the
second headed by Joseph Barondess was
stopped by the police of the Elizabeth
street station. Barondess was arrested
and detained until the Sergeant in charge
had communicated with police head
quarters and ascertained that the parade
was authorized by the Superintendent.
Eight thousand persons, of whom one
tenth were women, assembled in Union
square.

NEW FREIGHT RATES.
Most of the Dealers Are Indifferent to
the Advance.

Most of the Dealers Are Indifferent to
the Advance.
PORTLAND, October Is. - Wholesale
merchants appear to be Indifferent to the
raise in west bound freight rates an
nounced recently. So far as can be
learned, there is no complaint at the ad-
vance. The average dealer is more in
terested in the stability of rates than in
the raise. If he is certain that he is
granted the same rate as his competitor,
he is satisfied. As for the amount of the
advance, that is added to the amount of
his sales, and the dealer therefore oc-
cupies about the same position no matter
what freight charges are. These higher
rates, it is claimed, will be of some slight
benefit to the wholesaler in preventing
the retailer from ordering direct from
the manufacturer, as has been done to a
considerable extent since rates were
placed at the low figure. If there were
many manufactures here, this advance
or greater one would be blessing to
them. 1t was thought that an increase
in west bound freight charges would be
of assistance to water lines doing
freighting business around the Horn,
but the present advance is not enough
to make any material difference, at least
at the present time. Merchants here
are ordering sparingly from the East,
only enough for present needs, and are
not inclined to speculate, and are back
ward about bringing their goods via the
lengthy Cape Horn route. But for the
prevailing depression in business
change, even such as becomes effective
the Goth of the month, would greatly
stimulate the clipper trade.

THESTORM IN FLORIDA
Woeful Tales of Destruction
by Wind and Water.
THE HAVOC AND DESTRUCTION

Damage Done to Towns in the Path OF
the Storm is Reported to be Almost
abIe-AppalachicoIa and Ce-
dar Keys the Principal Sufferers.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, October 14.-Com-
munication has been established with
all points on the west coast visited by
the recent storm, and dispatches tell
woeful tales of the destruction caused by
the wind and water. Appalachicola and
Cedar Keys were directly in the storms
path, and the damage at those places is
almost incalculable. The storm first
struck Cedar Keys, and the following
dispatch describing it has been received:
Cedar Keys has just experienced the
most disastrous storm Tor twenty-five
wears. Main street is piled with debris,
consisting of wreckage from boats,
wharves, fshhouses and logs of every
description. The damage is great. The
Florida Central is heavy sufferer. Al
most the entire track to the mainland,
a distance of three and one-half miles,
is destroyed. From the mainland to
Sumner, four and one-half miles, there
are nearly 100 washouts. The Town Inn
provement Company is heavy loser, as
a number of business and dwelling
houses were swept away. The total loss
here amounts to several thousand dol
lars. The city hall, a two-story build
ing, had the roof blown off and one side
knocked out. The city Jail cannot be
found. The five bridges to the shell road
are washed away. Many small boats
we're wrecked. One sloop came in Tues
dav with five men, who had chung to a
palmetto tree since Monday night. 1t
is reported that five sponge vessels went
ashore during the storm and were driven
seven miles into the woods"
From Cedar Keys the cyclone travelled
up the west coast to Appalachicola. At
that point it was even more severe than
at Cedar Keys. The following dispatch
from Appalachicola says:
"Never before in the history of this
town was such havoc and destruction
played by storm and tide. Water, Com
merce and Market streets were mass OF
logs, boats, lumber and dead fish. Two
lives are reported lost. Two residences
were carried a mile away and placed in
the marsh near cypress MIL, unlhJureu:
The docks were totally destroyed, and
the houses were unroofed. The families
sought safety on the hills, only to be
routed by the terrible gale. The water
is six feet deep on Water street, and
some of the best dry-goods stores were
battered into pieces by the floating tim
Der and shattered to destruction. Five
barges were blown from East Pass and
lodged two miles north of here. Kim
ball & Co., lumber dealers, are heavy
losers. 1t is impossible to obtain an es-
innate of the losses on goods and build
ings. People are dismayed, and appeals
for aid will be sent out"
From many other points in West Flor
ida come reports of the storms destruct-
i've work, but Cedar Keys and Appalach-
icola seem to have been the principal
sufferers.
