THE LITTLE LIGHTHOUSE crnL
Day and Night She Always waves u
Greeting TO Passing Ships.

Day and Night She Always waves u
Greeting to Passing ships.
The sailors and shipmen who pass up and
down the Savannah river between Savan-
nah and the sea know her as the little
lighthouse girl" To Miss Florence Martus,
for so she is, the ships that pass in the night
are the same as those that pass by day.
Night or day, it makes no difference, with
lantern or handkerchief she is always there
to greet the passing craft. Down on Elba
island, a narrow, marshy waste on the
southern bank of the %Savannah river, ten
miles below the city, with her brother, the
lighthouse keeper, and her mother, lives
this little lighthouse girl" for so she is
spoken of by sailors, passengers and river
men. A thousand vessels pass in and out
the Savannah river every year; Savannah's
small craft make twice as many trips be-
tween the city and the sea, passing always
the home of the lighthouse girl, and never
one goes by but there is a waving nf greet
ins from the modest piazza of the little
island home; a flag OF white by day and a
lantern of white by night.
1t makes no difference what the hour
of the night, Miss Martus is always there
with her welcoming signal to incoming and
outgoing vessels. The cottage on Elba ISL
and is a noted landmark because of the
greeting that always awaits there the pass
Ing vessel. Miss Martus, this ardent friend
Of the mariners in and out the Savannah
river, is a sister of the keeper of the El5a

HUSBAND GUARANTEED.
Bachelor Life Forbidden by Law in
Sip"

There is one country in the world where
all of the women. no matter how plain they
may be, can be certain of securing husbands.
In fact this is guaranteed to them by law.
This country, where none need remain in
single blessedness, is Siam. There every
woman who has reached a certain age with
out finding a husband can, if she will only
express the wish, be registered as one of the
young daughters of the king" that is, she
will be placed under royal protection and
the king must provide her with a husband.
This duty is discharged very simply. If any
male Siamese commits a crime, or even is
guilty of a misdemeanor he is neither fined
nor sent to prison, but is condemned to
marry one of the women officially under the
protection of the king. If their violation of
law has not been very serious they are per-
mitted to make a selection from among
these royal daughters" but If the crime
has been a grave one the malefactor is COM
PEELED to marry that one seiected by the
court, and of course she is the ugliest or
worst tempered of them all. Owing TO this
ingenious system no woman in Siam need
go through the world unmarried, but perhaps
of the women from New England-and
others-would prefer not to marry under
conditions such as these.

Erins of EnshlNn.

Tulle is an important feature Of all spring
millinery.
Sashes of lace, preferably some heirloom,
are worn with evening gowns.
Mauve, pale blue and pale yellow mus
lin. with insertions of ivory Maltese lace,
make dainty blouses.
Jet is again much in favor among spring
trimmings. When used on decollete waists
1t is framed in white tulle.
The very newest kind Of chiffon Is plated
in many directions and has a curious MORE
effect, In dull black it is one of the softest
and p%rettiest of mourning materials.
There are indications that the plain or
simply rolled collar will reign in the i'm
mediate future and lace and chiffon ears
and frills will be abolished from the nape of
the neck.
Kid cloth is the name Of a new fabric
which looks not unlike the surface of a suede
glove. 1t adapts itself admirably to the
lines of the figure, an important requisite
now, and is newer even than satin cloth.
A modish hat has as it's foundation green
moss with roses and rosebuds and green
aeaves which appear to grow up naturally
from the crown. The idea is quaint and the
hat, which is small, sits well off from the
face.
The ribbon makers are showing what they
never been lovlier. Embroidered and painted
ribbons are the latest wrinkle and the
shirred ribbons make very stylish trim
mings for gowns of thin cotton material.
New domestic surahs are in standard
twills that wear admirably, appearing on all
the latest spring shades. India and China
silks are shown in great variety, but the
twilled surfaces are likely to be the most
popular.

Make your way into the sanctum of any
progressive modiste and you will find her
garnishing lovely silk and satin evening
gowns with white or colored fringe, in tho
mesh of which pearls and spangles are
caught.
With these evening suits, by the way,
pretty fans are carried that only have five
slender sticks and instead of spreading into
a semi circle as the conventional fans do,
these exIand to only about one-fourth the
diameter of a circle. Their four ribs apiece
are of wood or pearl, but most elegantly of
rich or dark tortoise she'll, very highly
polished, and slender cord, overlaid with
bullion or gilded lace. They call these the
Princess Metternich fans. and for SNOWY
beauty they quite Guido anything ever seen
before. In consequence of the gold work on
the gauze these fans are carried, when not
in actual use, in pretty painted kid pro-
%tectors.
Besides her fan every woman in the even

edge of her d~ecollete bodice, a single rose
bud, SO put together that it requires a keen
eye to detect its silken artificiality. The bud

a silk pettiCOat, much decorated on the
lower half, with full corded frills ana
f1ounces, is now an actual necessity, since
the clinging dress skirts, made without
stiffness, require this extra fullness beneath
to give them the proper outward flare from
the knees down.
1t is quite the mode now to have a differ

HORSEWHIPPED.
Former Senator Don Cameron Pays
$3.50 for Furnishing a Man
Who Sold Liquor.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 16.-A jury in
Beaufort county has brought a verdict
against ex-senator Don Cameron of
PENNSYLVANIA for $3.50 damages for
horsewhipping David Schein.
Senator Cameron is the head of the st.
Helena Hunting club, near Beaufort.
Gen. NJ. G.. Butler, acting as his agent,
purchased many thousands of acres Of
land in this section and secured the hunt
ing privileges on much that could not be
bought Clubhouses were built and Sen
ator Cameron also erected q lodge for his
own use.
The trouble out of which the suit came
occurred two winters ago. Senator Cam
eron was driving through his preserve
into Beaufort and met Adam Small, a
negro landowner, who would not sell his
place, but had rented it to David Schein,
who, it was alleged, sold liquor to ne
grOeS.
Senator Cameron, according to the tes-
timony, asked him why he had rented to
Schein, and, calling him near to his
buggy, whipped him as long as the negro
kept in reach. Driving on to Schein' S
store, Senator Cameron demanded to
know why Schein sold liquor to his ne
groes. Schein protested that he had not
done so. The senator told him he must
leave that place. Schein maintained his
right to remain there, having leased the
land. Senator Cameron then it is
claimed, standing in his buggy, began
using his long buggy whip on Schein,
whose escape was prevented by the horse
and Il picket fence forming an angle
from which he could not get away.

CONVICT CAME BACK.

Back What He Had Stolen

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 15.-Charles O..
Summers, formerly Pinkerton detec-
tive, an escaped convict from the Missis-
sippi penitentiary, is again within prison
walls in Mississippi. He journeyed all
the way from Dawson City, Alaska, to
jackson, Miss, to surrender himself as a
safe robber.
Summers arrived in Memphis and called
on Supt G. w. Agee of the Southern
Express company. lie introduced him
self. but that was unnecessary, as Mr..
Agee recognized him. Summers said he
was tired of liberty that does not mean
freedom" Even in the klondike he had
no peace of mind.
when he walked into Mr.. Agee's office
he was prepared not only to declare re-
pentance, but to make restitution. lie
turned over TO Mr.. Agee $500 in cash
to cover the amount of his Indebtedness
to the Southern Express company, even
including the company's expense Of pur-
suing him. He also reimbursed the state
of Mississippi for the expense of bring
ing him back from California.
Mr.. Agee told Summers he would trust
him to go to Jackson unattended and
that he could leave when he got ready.
Summers left Memphis this morning and
Supt Agee received a telegram dated at
Jackson containing the simple words,

CONFLICTING REPORTS.
President Wants All Inform alton
Regarding the Situation in
the Philippines.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 15.-It is
said at the war department that the re-
turn Of two members of the Philippine
commission remaining in Manila Messrs.
Denly and Worcester, is in order to adj
wise the President respecting the very
latest aspect of affairs that he may
use the information in his message to
Congress. This is an intimation conveyed
that the advices brought by President
Schurman and Senator Beyeridge and
other persons recently returned from Ma
Mia are not at all points in strict accord
though the items of divergence are not
known beyond the white house. 1t is
said that as Admiral Dewey is nearing
the United States the opportunity to
have Il full meeting of the Philippine
commission, Of which he is member,
should not be lost and the report that
may be expected to sum up their work
will be Indispensable to Congress in its
efforts at legislation for the islands. No
statement can be had officially as to the
future of the commission, but it is not
regarded as probable that it will return
to the islands. at least not without a con-
siderable change in personnel. Messrs.
DENLY and Worcester will leave Gen.
Otis the sole representative commissioner
in the Philippines.

TO PUNISH CAPT. CARTER
Engineer Officer will Probably be
Dishonorably Discharged.
HEAVY FINE IMPOSED.
Belief that Congress will Inaugurate
Reform in Public
mprovements.

Washington, D. c., Sept 16-[Spe-
cial. 1.-The famous Carter court-martial
case will be settled by President Nc
Kinley in very few days. The recon-
mendation of the court-martial will be
moderated by the President.
Capt. Carter will be dishonorably dis
charged from the army and be subjected to
a fine of $4,000. The recommendation that
he be imprisoned for term of five
years, the argument which Wayne Mae
Veagh will make, will not change the
determination of the President to punish
Capt. Carter.
The charge has often been made in
Congress that public money was squan-
dered on river and harbOr improvements,
and that the money went to contractors,
without regard to the work done or the
benefits secured. The charges of the
Garter case bear on this point, and some
congressman who favor river and harbOr
improvements have come to the cOnclu-
sion that an investigation into the meth
DDS Of the engineer corps in such work
may save other scandals in connection
with river and harbor improvements.
-Four years after his graduation at
West Point Capt Carter was in charge
of the work at Savannah harbor-a prof.
w
ed. He had to deal with some Of the
greatest contracting firms in the country.
He was without experience which would
have fitted him for such a task. The
government is paying a great deal more
than is needed for its river and harbor
improvements.
A congressman who has given much
attention to the Garter case, in discussing
the prospect of a congressional investlga-
ton, says:
Il think there will be an investigation,
and | think the result of it will be to
take away from the engineer corps of the
army the supervision of river and har-
Dor work. | believe this ought to be done.
In saying this | do not mean to cast any
reflection upon the integrity of the en-
gineer corps. That commands my high
est respect. / regard the Garter case as
an exception, but, while many believe IN
the honesty of the engineer corps and
have not been influenced in the slightest
degree by the revelation of the fraud
practiced by Capt. Carter, | am more
than ever convinced that the government
sustains great losses by leaving its river
and harbor improvements to the control
of young and inexperienced army off,
