You'd never believe" he said, what
a lot of people there are-what lot
even of tolerably handsome women
there are-who have positively elephan-
tine ears; ears, too, that stick out, do
what you will more than any ele-

graphers into despair, and all manner
of devices are used TO mitigate the
fault of their coming out with such dis
astrOus distinctiveness. When 1T is
possible, we use a fine flexible steel
band that goes round back of the ears.
But it has a habit of flying OFF, and
releasing the ear just at the crucial
moment; so that one wing sticks out
boldly while the other lies fiat--a lop-
sided arrangement.
"I remember--I am speaking most
serlously--when the old photographers
used pieces of wax with which they
temporarily fastened down the ears.
There are now many devices, but the
one most in favor is To pass thin,
tough, gray, silk thread completely
round the head and over the ears; the

Under ordinary circumstances this should

2 O'Clock this morning she is more than
thirty hours overdue. The leporls from
the storm show that Il has moved very
slowly up the coast having been r,ported
as stationary off Hatteras Wednesday and

PAVING WORK ENDED.
Bull Street Pavement Not to BE Com
pIeted This Year.

The city will do no more paving this
year. The completion Of Wheaton street
at a cost of about $1,000, the block on st.
Julian street and the three blocks of Con-
gress street lane has exhausted the paw
ing appropriation for the year, which was
only 10000. As the city gets a good draw
back from the property owners in the
way of assessments it will just about come
out even on the paving work
This means that the Bull street pave
ment viii not be compiel ed TO the city
limits this year and that the question
whether asphalt brick or gravel shall be
used in completing the pavement has been
indefinitely deferred. The proposition Of
the Augusta Gravel Company to furnish
certain amount of gravel 10 be used in
surfacing the present pavement on condi-
ton that il be given the contract for the
new paving did not prove to be very
liberal one on closer Investigation. The
company only offered to donate ten cars
of gravel a the mines. The city would
have had to pay the freight. As the gray
ell is only worth about Sc a car at the
mines and the freight is S5 a car the COM
pany would not have been very much
loser. AS 1t would have required al least
eighty cars of gravel 90 properly surface
the street for which The city would have
had to pay freight a. well as the first
cost at the mines. with the exception Of
the ten cars donated, the acceptance Of
the proposition would have been a good
thing for the company
The recent spell of dry weather has
made the Bull street pavement very dusty
and the residents of that street have had
good reason to complain. The rains which
accompanied the storm barely sufliced to
settle the dust temporarily.
The amount of paving to he done next
year will depend upon the condition of the
city's finances and the demands from other
departments. 1t is desired to pave Indian
street, and as there Is a strong demand
for this improvement, il IS likely that a
sufficient appropriation for this work will
be made. 1t is doubtful if provision will
be made for any other paving
The city viii not be able TO do much in
the way of street paving while the house
drainage work is in progress" said Mayor
Myers, when asked about paving for next
year.

THREE sTORM-TOssED SHIPS.
Were or Tybee Monday, But Were
Unable to Get Into Port.

The West India hurricane IS stln slow
ly making its way up the coast, and last
night was reported off Norfolk. The
storm preserves its popularity Of travel
ing parallel with the coast, but not hug
ging II closely, che center remaining some
distance out al sea.
That the severity of the storm a sea has
not been overestmated is shown by the
reports brought by three vessels which
arrived in port Yesterday, having been
storm tossed since Monday. All three OF
the vessels were in the neighborhood of
Tybee Monday, but were unable to reach
port and were compelled TO put to sea,
getting back to Tybee roads yesterday
morning. All three show evidences of the
rough handling which they received from
the storm.
The Norwegian bark Louis. Capt.
Schancle, from Last London. South Afrl-
ca, in ballast to Slrachan & Co.. was
brought in yesterday morning with sever
al of her sal gone and leaking badly
Capt. Schancke reported that he arrived in
Tybee roads Monday morning. There be
ing no pilots IN sight and the weather be-
ing rough he worked his way out 70 sea-
being afraid OF being blown ashore il he
remained IN the roads. At sea he got the
fun benefit of The storm and was blown
some distance out, only getting back to
Tybce this morning.
The schooner joel Cook Capt. Frazier.
from Lewes. Del, with a cargo of fish
scrap for the Savannah Guano Company,
was brought in early yesterday morniug
IN a damaged condition. Her mainsail and
jib were carried away, but she suffered no
serious injury. Capt Frazier reported hat
he was oil Tybee Monday but could get
no assistance ana put out TO sea again,
heading south. She struck he rear end of

TWO DEFENDANTS REAANDED.
Woods and Hooks Turned Over to
Superior Court.

J. T. Woods, colored, was turned over TO
the Superior Court by the Recorder yester-
day morning for assault with intent TO
murder his wife. The particulars of the
case are familiar 10 the readers of the
Morning News.
Woods became involved in a row with
his wife, Emma Woods. in the house occd-
pied by the couple on Ann street, in YAM
acraw, and slashed her across the back
with a knife. The wound, fortunately,
was not serious and the assailant was soon
afterwards arrested by PatrOlman Woods.
For the assault Woods will have to answer
to a jury in Judge Falligant's court.
j. w. Hooks, a white man, was remand
ed to the Superior Court for assault with
intent to murder Henry Jackson, the latter
a negro. The alleged assault was made in
the Central Railway depot and the arrest
made by Patrolman Connolly. 1t is charg-
ed that Hooks started towards the negro
with a knife without adequate provocation,
and would have wounded him seriously,
but for the interference of the policeman.
The policeman testified that he caught the
knife just as ii was about to descend.

MIR. Eugene Baker filed his application
for keeper of the city dispensary yester-
day. As he has the backing of the fac
ton which succeeded In downing Mr.

be elected. Mr. Baker has given up his
position with the Masonic Temple Pharm-
acy. 1t is understood that when he re-
signed his latter position it was with the
expectation that The election for dspeu-
sary keeper would be held Aug. 9, the
terms of the incumbents ending the day
following. and he accordingly put in his
resignation for Aug. 10, expecting that his
new position would be ready for him by
that time.
The fight made On the ordinance, how
ever, prevented it from being adopted I'M

to fix the election two weeks later. Mr.
Baker is now enjoying a vacation, but his

LIQUOR DEALERS WARNED.
Recorder HartridEe Threatened to
Revoke Their Licenses.


c. A. Catechis and E. Eichholz, liquor
dealers on East Broad street, were be
fore the Recorder in the Police Court yes
terday morning, on a charge of keeping
open on Sunday and dispensing of their
wares. They had been placed on the
docket by Joe Demere, negro who had
been arralgned before the Recorder sew
eral days ago and been found guilty of
being drunk and disorderly on the streets.
Demere swore positively that both of
the defendants had violated the law but
his oath was opposed by those of a num-
Der of the liquor dealers and the negro
frequenters of the bars i'm the neighbour
hood. All of these swore positively that
there had been no liquor selling i'm the
places in question and that the law had
never been violated in any essential par
ticular.
The Recorder was perpexed. He stated
that under the circumstances he could
not find the defendants guilty. as the evil
dence against them was made up of the
unsupported word of a disreputable ne
gro, and his finding would probably be
reversed in a higher court, but that he
fully believed that they were guilty. He
would dismiss the cases against Catechis
and Eichholz, but were they. or any other
East Broad street liquor dealers, ever
brought up before him again, he would
forfeit their licenses and inhlct the fun
penalty for the violation Of the law.
1t is freely stated that the law is often
and indeed, constantly violated by these
liquor dealers and that they employ rum
ners TO advertise their sunday business.
Recorder Harudge has stated that this
will rot be allowed to continue, but that
on the first occasion these vo,ators of
the law viii be brought before the court
and the fun penalty inflicted.
