lots of experiences, both alone and In

was repeated. During each interval of

colder from uncertainty, and each time
the sound was repeated I was less able
to locate it than the time before. All
sorts of frightful stories heard now and
then flashed through my mind. I fely
as if l should go mad.

she is not in a bad way from the effects
Of the storm. She is not even crippled.

in every direction, the telegraph wires
are at work. stores are doing business at
the old stand commerce generally IS
moving in its customary channels In
short, Savannah is progressing in her
usual happy style
The storm and its consequences were
terrible, for the time being. The losses
Of life will make the story of the day a
sad chapter in local history. But from
hard-headed business standpoint, the
disturbance was merely an incident that
has already been filed away among the
memories of things that were. In certain
instances the property losses were heavy,
but the instances were not numerous
enough nor the losses heavy enough to
stay for even a little while the progress
Of so great a city as this. The spirit Of
the people was not in the least cast down,
and to-day is as buoyant as it was before
the winds turned loose their fury upon
the devoted city.
1t will require several years to replace
the beautiful trees that were destroyed by
the wind. But except for the SCARED
parks, few traces of the storm will re-
main a week hence.
We are pleased to note that our sister

will and in good spirits to repair the
damage inflicted by the storm, and will
soon be in shp-shape again. 1t takes

A New Jersey snake story.

The queer spectacle of men standing on
the top of a water cask, with an immense
black snake attempting to reach them.
was seen yesterday in Hawthorne avenue.
Bloomfield, N. j., says the New York Her
aid. And the scene was made more inter
esting when a third man, attracted by
their cries, appeared and was chased by
the snake.
Earnest H. Cadmus a carpenter, while
on the roof of a house he is building in
Hawthorne avenue, heard cries for help
in the yard and descended to find the
cause.
Richard Jacobus and a colored man
named John Shields had fed to the top
of water cask used by the masons to
get beyond the reach of a black snake
The snake, with uplifted head and forked
tongue angrily displayed was circling the
cask in vain effort to get at the men.
Cadmus spied hoe lying on the ground
and as he started to get it the snake spied
him and gave chase. Round they ran
until Cadmus was sufficiently in the lead
to stop and pick up the hoe Then began
a battle royal. For nearly ten minutes
the snake eluded the blows and made at
tempts to reach Cadmus, but at last a
lucky blow broke the snakes back, and
he was stretched out on the ground. He
measured over five feet in length.
How the snake got in the yard is a mys-
terry, the only plausible theory being that
it crawled into a load of sand loaded at a
sand pit which is infested with snakes.

Bryan ana George.
From the Richmond Dispatch Dem).

What would be more ridiculous than the
attempt to hold Mr.. Bryan responsible
for Henry Georges single tax doctrine?
Mr. Georges creed is so we'll known that
everybody i'm the land is familiar with II.
and the creed is so unpopular that his
followers are few indeed and far be-
tween. How heightened voters can ex-
pect TO influence other high-toned voters
to take up with such a creed we cannot
imagine. In fact. we are not inclined to
the belief that Mr.. George himself has
any hopes Of getting more votes than
that distinguished orator who recently
told his audience that he did not expect
to carry single state, nor a single city,
nor single county, nor single school
district.

Champ Clark tells an amusing story of
Bryans earlier political career. At the
time of which Clark speaks Bryan was
a fledgling in national politics. says the
Chicago Times-Herald. bryan had been
invited, with a dozen other men, to ad-
dress a political meeting at Omaha. The
chairman introduced a long line of more
or less distinguished statesmen, who were
called Judge, Colonel Major General, or
by some other title. When it drew near
Bryans turn to speak he began to think
that he had no title but he thought that
he might get some advertising out of the
address for his struggling business as a
lawyer at Lincoln. So he went to the
chairman and whispered to him that
when his time came to address the as
sembly he should like to be introduced
as Mr.. William j. Bryan, the rising
young attorney Of Lincoln" The chair
man grunted an assent, but when he in
troduced Bryan, he did it in these words:
Mr.. Bryan will now speak"
And so the chance TO gain an advertise
ment was lost.
