Shannon.
"At dark, )" exclaimed Trollope, with
determination.
They had not long to wait for that,
however By s O'Clock it was a dead
calm and black as thunder with fog
The ocean was full of fire, and close
alongside the mystic lights rose and
swayed, dissolved, fluctuated, sheeting
out again in flashes brilliant as distant
lightning. These fires played in hun
bred shapes. You saw them through the
steam of the fog, and the silence in that
brooding blackness made them wonder
full and awful.
The sheen of the skylights hung in
the thickness in faint silver, the hin
nacle was crown of light, and down
upon the quarter deck the light stream
ed in lines through the windows in the
cuddy front The deep-gloom, the occa-
sional long drawn yearning sob of water
alongside, the sometimes strange cry
falling from the invisible heights where
the tanning canvas strained tho sheaves

of infinite remoteness, Of the ships lit
tleness as speck in that black void,
boundless as the imagination chose to
make, filed the gentlemen with sensa-
lions of superstition. They were all
agreed that Masters body ought to be
sunk at once, so Cavendish, Hankey and
Weston went to work to bury it. Softly
entering the berth he lay in. they pulled
the blanket from his face. He looked
like some fancy of manly beauty in
marble. 1t was true that death had
smoothed the sin out of his face The
light of the next world was on it, and he
looked to be smiling at some finer sight
than tongue could utter.
The three stitched the poor fellow up
hastily and did not omit to attach a
heavy weight of iron to his feet. This
done, they bore the dismal burden on
deck.
Caldwell stood near the main hatch,
never imagining they would be so
quick. When he saw them coming into
the square of light in the cabin door, he
uttered low yell Of surprise and has
tily walked away on to the poop, NUT
tering curses as he glanced behind him

SOME GOOD REASONS.
Why Mayor Elmendorf Should be Re-
tanned for Another Term.

tanned for Another Term.
The corporations and monopolies ale
against Mayor Elmendorf, for what
the people have gained has been loss
to them, and naturally they want the
old rates restored.
During the Callaghan administration
the city paid the San Antonio Gas
company 60 cents per night for each
arc light.
The present administration reduced
this rate S5 cents per night. and as
there are 200 arc lights used this is a
saving of $50 per day. or nearly $4,000
year.
OF course this corporation wants a
change.
The Callaghan administration paid
the Waterworks company $4,000 per
annum for rental of fire hydrants, and
agreed to pay them $50 per year for
each additional hydrant placed and at
that rate the present rental would
amount to upward of $4,000,
The present administration reduced
the fire hydrant rental to $4,000 per
year. which includes all fire hydrants
TO be established. fifty per year; all
water used for. street sprinkling. pub
lie use in public school houses and city
hall. flushing sewers and water closets
In the entire city connected with the
sewer system free of charge. This
makes a difference OF nearly $4,000 a
year to the Waterworks company. and
as matter of course this little mon
opoly wants a change of administra-

have really said. I simply stated there are clubs which enjoy immunity from police interference because they are op- erated under charters granted them by the state and thereby escape police tn- terference. I think it is due to myself as well as to the officers of the police force to erect the wrong impression your article may possibly have made.
 At the same time would request you to publish a few words I wish to say i'm regard uo an article which appeared in yesterdays News, and where a Mr. H. D. Wood, clerk of MT. Gambin and not an employle of the city, claims '.that crlp- ples are not being arrested for street taxes" This does not coincide with at least one case which has come under my, own observation It is The case of MT. Sigmupd Hechtnger.
 IA man need not be a doctor to see that Mir. Heolhinger is a cripple. He walks decidedly lame, and needs cane to assist him in walking; he suffers from disloeated knee joint, and his ailment Is a chronic and inlcurable one. He also holds a certificate from a county heal h officer, Dr. Barclay, reading as follows:
 This is to certify tfllt have examined s. Helahdnger and find that he has dis eased knee and leg, on account of which he is net atle to do hard mia nual labor, and is entitled to exemption from work dElg public roads or s reets.
 tA1l this, however, did not save MT. H1echinger from being arrested by the screet tax collector and from being fined by Judge Feagfn.

TWO GREAT NOVELTIES.
The Artistic Show Window and Garish Delivery
 Wagon of J. Blach & Son.

Two novelties have been shown to the people of Birmingham ln the past week by the enterprising firm of J. Blach x Sons. The one is a show window, the other a delivery wagon.
 The former is the most artistic snow window ever seen lin Birmingham IL represents a glade in forested swamp. From the swampy soil great trees M- Sc and their heads are lost from view in the azure overhead. At their base are poois of wat er. in which frogs dsspont.

SKILL OF THE BLIND.
How Sightless Employer of SightIess Man
 UtiIizes the Sense of Touch.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
 This is about a blind man who works for a man who is also blind, and does work for which men who can see are well paid. The blind man who does tha work does it as well as a man with eyes, and he never makes @ mistake. He de7 bends entirely upon his sense of touch, which is extraordinarily well developed.t
 Away back in war times T. J. Lock- wood went to the front. He was good soldier SC until he lost h.s ssght 4 rias and concussion so affected the othef that 1t tno was destroyed. Then he decided that there were things that he could do to earn a livelihood. He sst up store and dealt dn men s merchandise at Buda, Ill. Fate was kind to him at last and he prospered. Time went on, and hhs em- ployes were faithful to the man who had lost his most precious sense while fighti ing for most righteous cause,
 The man who was the buyer for MT. Lockwood was and is J. Oechsley. He worked for MT. Lockwood for many years and was one of the most importanb of his employees. But one day misfor- tune came to him. Oddly emought 1t struck at this eyes. He was lad low with nervous aff1iction, and when he was able to be told of it the doctors an- nounced 10 him that he was to go through life in the same condition as hls employer His sight was gone and ney- CT would be restored.
 Finally Mir. Oechs1ey was able to leave his room. He was not rich, and the inlnecs had made deep hole in his store of savings. The old problem of keep ing the wolf from the door was to be met once more, but this time under a terrible handicap. Tn the hour of his mes. trying experience his old empIoyer came to him, and the men went to the old store. Mi. Oechslsy knew the place by heart. He was at home there, even If he could not see, and as the days went on he realized that all was not gone, even if his sight was lost. He found that he could tell as of old the difference that lie in material
 His hands seemed to have been given an extra share of cunning, and in 8 meas ure became h.s sight. He practiced and grew more expert. His whole energy was thrown into tine work he had put himse If to do, and in a short time it was found that as buyer of goods he was ai- mast as good as before the calamity overlook him.
 MT Oecheley was in the city yesterday. The merchants and jobbeus with whom he deals know him. They. would not take advantage of him even If they 5uld. And they all admit that they could not If they would. The hands of this man are as good and even better tn thetr way than the eyes of most men. He tells all about a piece of goods, no matter what it is, by feeling the texture and finish. He is considered to be a first class buyer, and when merchants say this of him they add that they do net take into consideration the fact that he is blind in passing thetr judgment of his ability.
 The other blind man-the employer is thoroughly saijlsfied with the work done by the one who sees with his hands, The store is prospecting. and the men who play the biggest part in Ut are happy.

 Rev. Sam Jones is getting into hot water. Recsntly he wrote letter against free schools, and said that he was in favor of giving free education only to poor children, whose parents would make an oath that owing to their poverty they could not pay for the tui- tion of thsdr children. In brief but salty reply, Editor Josiah Carter, of the Journal, presented the advantages Of free education for the people, and ob- tacted to Jones idea of humiliating the worthy and honest poor by forcing them to take a pauper's affidavit before they could get an education fer their little ones. Carter has the bsst of it, and Jones will be unable to meet that last shot.
