THE AMERICAN POOR.
| Respect should BE shown the Pride of Our
Unemployed.

They are the most perplC%ing of
creatures To do anything for. They
are apt to resent any and every at
tempt to help them, even in The most
guarded way. as IL it were an insult.
The consciousness that they are cx-
trcmcly poor. that their income is com
plctcly cut off impels them to act ms
they would not If they were in possess
sion of IL handsome independence.
Their pride being sensitive to morbid
ness during their pcnury, all sorts of
shifts are required not to wound it.
Repeated endcayorS to alleviate their
indigenCe have miscarried, even when
made with great tact, discernmcnt,
and dclicacy.
There is no such general devotion to
| charity, it is superiiuouS to say. as
will induce the adoption of various eX-
pedicnts that needy though stubborn
people may be prevailed on to take 1t.
Hence the difficulty of helping Ameri-
cans. Many generous persons who
try to assist them meet with
such rcbuff>, or with SO emphatic II de-
nal of their needs, that they release
their intentions Others get angry,
and frankly assert that persons who
decline aid freely rendered forfeit all
right to it. Doubtless the unemployed
Americans here are hard TO manage,
and frequently very provoking But
he who understands their cruel circum-
stances, and sympathizcs with Scnsi-
bility, will respect and honor them for
the inconsistent behavior. Coutuma-
cious pride may often he high virtue.
1t is very hard to tell how these
American men can be approached; how
their secret can he wrung from them;
how they can he brought to admit their
distress. But their kind, their ac-
uuaintanccs. their friends, should
charge themselves with this duty.
Where these know that they have lost
situations, been divcstcd of income or
earnings by the great commercial up
hcaval, they win have their cue to act,
and sympathy will direct them.

young married couple, with two small

fered them money. They said they
did not want it. lie insisted and qucs-
toned until the poor boolikeeper was
so wrought upon that he broke down
completely, bursting into flood of
tears. When an American man wecrs,
it is of deep significance.
The sequel proved that he had sought
for another situation daily to no pur-
pose, that he had parted in silence with
nearly everything pawnable, and been
driven to bay. lie had been sought out
and relieved ON the eve of madness OF
suicide.
This instance must be one Of many.

A Curious Recognition.

Among the curiosities in the museum

gorgeously embroidered in the Stars
and Stripes, and the other Haunting

golden chain. 1t had drifted thither,
and had been for several years en-.
sconced in its glass case, when postal
exhibit was begged from the depart
mcnt for a church fair. and for the
first time Jumbo went out for an air.
ing. 1t so happened that lady from
New Hampshire was visiting Washing
ton at the time and went to the fair.
To the surprise of her friends, she
greeted Jumbo rs long-lost
friend. Ten years before she had
made him and sent him to her
daughter in England, WHO had
married man named Link-hence the
design of the two flags linked together.
But she did not claim her possession.

AFFAIRS AT TYsEE.
The Town Election to Take Place Next
Monday at the Island.

AS the Tybee railroad moves on nearer
the island, and as contemporaries the
general interest in matters relating to
that resort revives. There will be an
election for town officials at the
town hall on the island next Monday.
Those of the citizens of Tybee Island
who are in the city next Friday night
will hold meeting, probably al the Cath
Ole Library Hall, to arrange for an agree
able ticket for mayor and aldermen. Mr..
John @. Butler, who is at present acting
mayor, will of course, lead the new
ticket. There will be six new aldermen
chosen to Eli out the ticket, and it is the
general opinion that there will be no OPP
position to the ticket thus chosen. There
are about 100 voters on the island, proba-
bly, few more, but they are generally
agreed on political matters when the
island is concerned. MIR Frank Storer,
it is understood, will be clerk of council.
Everything that was damaged by the
storm on the island has been repaired
with the exception of the railroad, and a
visitor to Tybee this summer will be I'M
able to tell that it was ever struck by a
cyclone. The hotel has its old time look
and will be ready to be opened
May /. Mayor Butler is having the
island cleaned up and by the time the
season opens the resort will
be in shipshape for the pleasure seekers.
He is going to have all the old rubbish
burned up, and all the plank walks on
the island repaired and rebuilt. Mr.
Butler is also building a number of sum
mer cottages on the island, which will
make pleasant summer homes during the
season. He has about completed three of
them, and will have four of them by
May 1.
The railroad is moving rapidly towards
the island. The construction trains will
probably be able to cross st. Augustine
bridge to-day, and about 200 hands will
be put to work on Mcqueen s Island and
about l00on Tybee. Mayor McDonough
is determined to see the road completed
by May l, and all the efforts of those con
cerned in the work are being exerted to
thai end
