A NIGHT CT TERROR.
Terrible Experience Of a Wrecked
Grew Off Atlantic City.
CLUNG TO A CAPsIzED VESSEL.

Heroic But Futile Efforts Of Life
savers to Reach the Imperilled Men
During the Storm-Hescued After
the Storm Abated.
Atlantic City. Oct. 4-The crew of the
schooner wrecked off Longport Satur-
day night were rescued yesterday and
landed on the beach at Ocean City.
The luckiess craft was the Henry May,
Captain w. o. Perry, from Portland,
Me-, with cargo Of railroad ties.
For nearly "a hours the captain and
his five men faced death. That they
did not meet 1t Is little less than a
miracle. The story Of their dread ex-
per.ence was told by Captain Perry
after food and warmth had restored
him. The vessel ran into the violent
northeast gale which ragged along the
coast Friday night when off Barnegat
She was headed for Delaware break
water, but the storm grew in fury and
she sprung a leak. All hands were
called to the pumps, but they were
feeble against the roaring waters,
Head on the weakening vessel drove
orally before the storm, when crash
sounded above the screaming Of wave
and wind, and the painting mariners
knew that the sails had gone. A mo-
ment later tbs ship sWrled in a tre-
mendous see and capsized. This was
off Lonsport.

So. Itr .Iull..-. was GEAR mat no

than few minutes. The Ocean City
life crew determined to try, and Peck's
Beach crew turned In to help. The
llfebnat was launched and almost i'm
mediately huge wave broke over her
and flung her angriiy back upon the
sands. Again and again was the at
tempt made, only to meet with the
same rebuff.
Eventually the futility of the work
was recognized, and the would-be res
cuers were despairingly compelled to
Az .ndCn it. The neHs of the wreck
had spread and the beach was thronged
with persons, helpessly gazing at the
tossing huh. She drif-ed slowly down
the coast, her anchor chains dragging
and wave after wave breaking over
her. When she capsized thrill of
horror went over the onlookers, but
moment later the forms of the sailors
were seen clinging to the plunging
hull.
Captain Perry tried to give some no.
ton Of what they felt as they watched
the falling attempts at rescue. Death
doomed before them, but they prayed
that it might be baked. NightAfell

DRINKING CONTAMINATED WATER.
Water that is left standing in the
kitchen or bedroom, and, above all, in
the sickroom, over night is liable to
contamination by the absorption OF
impurities afoat in the air in such
rooms, and to be rendered wholly un-
fit for use. No matter that the water
is cold, even to freezing; it is so much
the more liable to absorb and hold in
solution the foul gases and organic
particles to which it has been exposed.
1t is dangerous to use such water.
Water should not be so left; but
if it should by chance so to be, it
should be thrown away. Freshly
drawn water only should always be
used for culinary purposes, as well as
for drinking, whenever practicable.
Moreover, the faucets over sinks and
wash-basins are always more or less
liable to contamination, hence the first
water that flows on opening them after
they have been left all night without
use should always be LIT flow away
it is dangerous to drink and unfit for
the teakettle or for cooking water
even boiled diseased germs are un-
wholesome, says The Sanitarian.

He FELL.-Hugh Fell lives up town
A funny man stopped at his house, one
day, and asked for him. Mr.. Fell ap'
peared and made himself known.
"You fell ?" said the funny man.
"Yes, sir" was the reply.
"Did you hurt yourself?"
"Sir?"
"You say you fell?"
"Yes."
"Well, if you fell, did you hurt your
self?" asked the joker, with serious
phiz.
The man saw his drift now, and fell
into a passion, and struck straight
from the shoulder, and the joking fel'
low fell into the gutter, while the fel'
Ter, Fell, cried:
"Now, you fell at the hands of Hugh
Fell, so let me ask you were you hurt
much when you fell?"
The bona tide Hugh Fell walked
into the house, while the fellow he fell
picked himself up, felt both sore and
sheepish, and no longer felt any desire
to, learn whether Hugh Fell or any
other feller hurt himfelf when he fell

KEEPING DUCKS Irish gentle
man visited the municipal court, and
walking up to the bench, said
"Joodge, the wather pipe at the hy-
drant beyant me house has bursht,
and it has flooded me celler and is

Carthy, joodge." The Judge sympa'
thized with him, and was sorry for the
damp life his hens were leading, but
told him he would have to 60 to the
board of public works and complain,
Mccarthy went away, but the next
morning he came back to the Judge
and told the same story about the
"wather," and the "hins," when the
Judge said, II told you to 60 to the
board of public works and tell your
story" "And 1 did," said Mccarthy y
"And what did they say?" asked the
Judge. Mccarthy looked indignant
and said, "The man axed me, 'McCar'

YOU kape ducks?'"

WHAT He CALLED HIM-Congress-
man McLaurin, of South Carolina,
vouches for the following story in the
Washington Post: "The late consti-
tutional convention in South Carolina
passed an educational qualification de-
claring that a voter to register must
believe in Supreme Being, and be
able to read or understand the consti-
tuition when read to him. In the coun-
ty of Horny, generally called the In
dependent republic an the old Ne
gro came into the supervisors office to
register. =,
"sWell, old man, that officer said
to him, do you know who the Supreme
Being is?'
"'Oh, yes answered the old fellow

"'Well, who is he, what do you call
him p asked the supervisor.
"sOh, him is Mr.. Johnny McDemott,

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
b MARCH, 1t Is usual for the people OF this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year; Being one & Sd the eeanest cane
the state, 1t is natural, therefore. that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one Of the most popular. Ninety per cent. OF
the families in the county desire It as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford it, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One OF the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, is the inconven,
ience OF writing letters, sending money ana
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. It is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for us, just at this time, to
secure the services Of large number OF intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make 1t
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of o single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the individual
who does not give his name to Q clubmaker !;
but sends It direct to this Office. In clubs,
however, the price Is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubmaker,
and the price which, under all circumstances,
he is expected to pay US. NOW TO our Propo-
sitiOnS:

The DRESSING TABLE.-It is a good
plan to keep on the toilet-table glass
stoppered bottles containing alcohol,
camphor, glycerine or vaseline, alum,
borax and ammonia.
A little camphor and water should
be used as a wash for the mouth and
throat if the breath is not sweet.
Powdered alum applied to fever
sore will prevent it from becoming un-
slightly or noticeable.
Insect stings or eruptions on the
skin are relieved by alcohol.
A few grains of alum in tepld water
will relieve those whose hands per-
spire freely.
In addition to the soap for bathing,
white CASTLE should be kept for wash
ing the hair. -,
A little fresh cold cream should be
kept on the toilet table during the
cold weather, and applied to the lips
and hands every night if the skin
seems at all rough or chapped.

FORAGE CROPS FOR HOGS.

In Louisiana, farmers are growing
hogs upon most economical scale by
adopting the following policy: In the
fall of the year rust-proof oats are
sown, which ripen early in May. Up
on these oats the hogs are turned,
small areas at a time, and as soon as
the oats are destroyed crop of sweet
corn is approaching maturity in an
adjoining lot. Upon this they are
turned, and so attractive is the corn
that at this stage they will devour
each stalk, ear and all. From the
corn field they are turned into an ad-
jacent lot of early sorghum, where
they demolish the stalk in the same
way. From this they are turned into
an adjacent lot of Spanish peanuts.
From this they are turned into a corn
field filled with early whippoorwill
peas. OF course it Is needless to say
that they will greedily devour all of
these plants. From the corn field
are turned into sweet potato patches,
which last until late in the fall, when
the hogs are ripe for the shambles.
In this way the hog is made TO gath
er his own crop, feed himself, and by
a rotation of crops small area will be
able to furnish a large amount of for
age. One farmer in 1895 raised 81
hogs, weighing over $50 pounds
apiece, upon less than 10 acres of
ground sown and harvested in the
above described manner, and the only
absolute money cost to him was the
labor in cultivating the crops, which
was very small.
DR.. w. G. Stubbs, director of the
experiment station, regards the sweet
potatoes and Spanish peanuts as being
the most profitable feed that can be
grown. By the addition of an alfalfa
patch, which is ready for the hogs in
early winter if sown in October, We
can carry hogs the whole year through
upon fresh fields and pastures new, all
of which will be both nutritious and
fattening, and in this way hog raising
can be carried on in the state of Lou
isiana very successfully. 1t is estimat-
ed that farmers are by this process
raising hogs at net cost of less than
half cent q pound.

FLOWING LAND WHEN TOO WET.

lays, he should beware of putting the

ly dry. We know the temptation,
when work is pressing and the sun is
shining, to 60 on with the plowing,
but we also know, from experience,
that there is no injury to land or to
crops which is more disastrous or more
lasting in its effects than plowing too
soon after heavy rains. The injury,
to stiff clays, more especially, when
plowed too wet, is not confined to one
crop or one season, but extends to fol-
lowing years and future crops, causing
cultivation to be attended with many
necessary difficulties. Unfortunately
such an error cannot be remedied-at
least during the same year. The mis-
take of preparing land when too wet,
will invariably cause loss in the cult.

s6 Some time ago Bishop Paret, of
Maryland, was the guest of an Epis-
copal family in West Virginia: Learn,
ing from the bishop that he liked hard
boiled eggs for breakfast, his hostess
went to the kitchen to boil them her
self. While so engaged, she began to
sing the first stanza of the hymn
crock of Ages" Then she sang the
second stanza, the bishop, who was in
the dining room, joining in. When it
was finished there was silence, and the
bishop remarked, "Why not sing the
third verse ?" "The third verse ?" re-
piled the lady, as she came into the
dining room, carrying the steaming
eggs; "oh, that's not necessary" 81
don't understand" replied Bishop
Paret. "Oh, you see" she said, "when
I am cooking eggs, I always sing one
verse for soft boiled and two for hard
boiled"

THREE BIG PREMIUMS.

This year we offer three big premiums. One
Is q SEVENTY-FIVE. DOLLAR BUGGY.
Another is SEVENTY-FlYED DOLLAR Or
GAN. and the third is FIFTY DOLLAR
WAGON. The Buggy will go to the clubmaker
who gets up the largest list Of subscribers, new
and old. The Wagon will 60 to the clubmaker
who gets up the second largest list, new and
old and the Organ will 60 to the clubmaker
number Of NEW NAMES. The organ contest,
however will be separate and distinct from
the other contest, in that the winner OF this
premium will still have the right to count his
entire club, including both old and new
names, in the contest for the Buggy or Wagon
To be more explicit 1t is possible that the
clubmaker who gets the Organ, may also be
the winner Of either the Wagon or the Buggy.
II is also possible that the Organ may be won
with less than % names, together with one
of the smaller premiums.

A STORY OF GENERAL SHELBY.


An old comrade of General Joe Shell
by says of him: "Shelby was essen
TALLY military. He loved the life. Its
dangers, labors, rough living and bril-
liant successes suited him down to the
ground. If he had been so placed
that all of his years could have been
spent in war he would have been the
happiest man on earth. To him the
soldiers life was the happiest of lives !;
the soldiers death the death of deaths.
He was fond of his men, but he did
not spare them. In his four years
of campaigning many, very many OF
them were killed. He was not senti-
mental about it. They took their
chances, he used to say. He exposed
them to no dangers that he did not
share himself. He, too, took his
chances.
sHe was morbidly sensitive about
the conduct of his men-the more 80
that they bore the reputation of raid
ers,' which, it must be confessed, they
earned. Hard riding and fighting
make a hard appetite, and they were no
respecters of other peoples pigs and
poultry. Once we were half-starved in
Arkansas. Shelby and I rode down
to the White river to water our horses.
A detachment of the troops was do
ing the same thing just below us.
Among them was Dick Gentry, now of
Kansas City. He was gallant pri-
vate and a good fellow. Slung across
his saddle was sack, carefully tied
and bleeding at one end.
"sWhat you got there?' demanded
Shelby
"'Been havin' my clothss washed
said Gentry.
"'You'd better get back to camp ,
said the general, 'or your clothes will
bleed to DEATH"
"Gentry was put in the guardhouse.
That night a quarter of fresh pork
found its way to Shelby's tent. L
haven't an idea where this came from, ,
he said, as he looked at it hungrily,
sbut 90 round to the guardhouse, or
derly, and tell 'em to turn Gentry
loose. There's no use in keeping a
man shut up all of his life for a little
laundry.'"
