A NOVEMBER STUDY.
IL was cold.

Ii was cold.
The snow had turned to rain above and
TO slush on the ground below.
The wind was still northeast and its
piercing blasts made the cold colder and
wet wetter.
In the dirty street the sheriff had put
the miserable belongings Of q miserable
old woman W no had not paid her land
lords claim for rent.
In all the wretched pile of wretched
things there was nothing half so wretched
as the pitiful old thing no in her misery
was trying to collect her scattered things
into a safer place.
Out of the sodden mass of ru bbish that
had once made her home comfortable
she had picked few old plates
and things and crossed the street
with halting steps. Half way across
she slipped, and from her load bottle
fell and stained the street with washday
blueing, and before she could regain her
hold, cup with her last remaining food
fell too, and broke amid the mud and
slush.
1t was the last straw. She shrunk away,
little caring whittier, and those who saw
it marveled that such things could be in
this day and generation, and in this fair
city OF Providence, even in the dirty slums
of Constitution Hill.

the local freight No. III, west bound,
which resulted in tho total destruction of
two cars, barring the trucks. The local
freight, No. 127, was in charge of veteran

catitn sent out circulars to the various
county school commissioners, asking
them to investigate and report to him,
all cases of the sale Of listed school
books by book dealers, above the prices
agreed upon in the publishers contract.
The reports are now coming IN. In
Charleston, Richland and Georgetown,
the official contract prices are being
strictly adhered to. This cannot be
said OF all the counties, however. S6V.
eral others have been heard from. The
status in Fairfield has been already
mentioned. School Commissioned Neil
Macauiey of Oconee county writes that
he knows personally Of 100 or more
cases of the violotion Of the contract n
the counties of Oconee and Spartan
burg, and asks in what shape he must
present the cases. He says he is able
to give the date Of each VieiatioD, the
name of the bookdealer, and the name
of the purchaser. BIacksburg also re-
ports violations of the contract. Let
ters are coming IN from tie various

silver the Supreme Issue.

Columbus, o., Oct. 3.-There was is.
sued from the Democratic State execu-
tive headquarters to-day and address to
the voters of OHIO, in which 1t Is de-
clared that the restoration OF silver to
free coinage Is the supreme issue be-
fore the people. In the national contest
TWO years ago, the address states, the
fight W2s made by the Democracy for
tariff reform and silver restoration.
The former was the overshado owing
issue theD, but the Mckinly tariff law
being now repealed, the silver coin
age quest1on has become paramount.
Tne address IS voluminous and in
tWenty-one divisions, and argues In
favor of the abandonment Of the
single gold standard and the return to
free coinage of silver. 10 the closing
paragraphs the address declares
that If the present monetary CONDITIONS
continue there Will be little relief to
the country from it's present industrial
aud commercial depression, Wheth er
we have hign tariffs or low tariffs. 1t
appeals to all voters to unite IN casting
their ballots 80 that no matter which
party secures the ascendancy In the
next Congress will be compelled to ab-
andon the currency contracting policy
of the last twenty years and given the
county free silver, Tne address Is sign
ed by Allen W. Thurman and William
A. TAYLOR, chairman and secretary, re-
spectiyely, of the committee.

tain Herbert of the schooner yacht Puri.
tan, arrived here today from Pepper
Grove Bay. He says: "a waterspout
which formed yesterday in Bolivar Chan.
mel, passed over the bay about II
O'Clock. I was coming down the bay
With a moderate breeze, when suddenly
I saws huge cloud which appeared to
extended from the surface of the water,
high up into the heavens. 1t was about
three hundred feet in diameter. Instant.
lY, I realized the danger and changed
the Puritau's course 80 as to get out oi
the way of the funnel-shaped terror. On
came the waterspout, Kissing and roar
Ing and scattering the spray in every
direction. Captain Jcughan Of the sloop
Kate was in skift fishing for oysters
when the waterspout came tearing up
the bay. He was directlYi in its path. He
was lifted out of the sk!ff and carried up
by the spout. This was the last seen OF
him, and the suppositlon is that he was
drowned. Several boats were capszed." /"
