MAYORS OFFICE,
RALEIGH. N, c.,
September IL, 1900.

Whereas, it has become
known that the city of Calves
ton, Texas, has recently been
visited by the most destructive
storm in the history of this
country, and the destruction
to life and property has been
very great; and as there is
much suffering existing in said
city, and the conditions are
such as should appeal to the
sympathies of every citizen,
have, therefore, called a mass
meeting of the citizens of Raj
eigh to meet at Metropolitan
Hall at 5 o'clock Thursday.
September 13th, for the pur-
pose of soliciting aid for the
Galveston sufferers The ladies
are requested to attend this
meeting, and it is to be hoped
that every sympathizer with
this movement will be prompt
ly on hand

fer severely at times from the cyclonic
storms that originate in the Caribbean
Sea. September and October are normal
ly months of lowest atmospheric pres
sure in the West Indies and the Carib-
bean. Currents of air from all directions
move toward this area of low barometer
and the meeting Of these currents give
rise TO a circular or whirling motion
whose diameter at the start is small
affair, but is sometimes increased to
1000 miles The whirl invariably moves
northward and nearly always westward
while within the tropics, and thus our
entire Gulf coast may be brought within
it's range; but by the time : it reaches
the Gulf Stream its westerly direction is
changed to easterly and it follows, in
part, the streams course, and our At
lantic coast sometimes gets the benefit
of the western part of the whirl
About SO per cent of these West In
dies cyclones occur in August, September
and October. Fortunately most of them
are not of a very destructive character
The records in the Island of st. Thomas,
for example, show that in the century
and a half preceding 1897 that island suf-
fered from devastating cyclones only
seven times. though it is the northern
and eastern islands, such as st. Thomas,
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Bahamas that
are most frequently in the pathway of
the severest cyclones. With a wind We
locity at Galveston, the other day, OF
eighty miles an hour-nearly twice the
velocity of the wind that mariners call
q strong gale-the storm, everywhere
over sea or land, must have been of very
destructive violence unless Galveston
was near the center of the whirl; for
the force of the wind gradually increases
from the margin toward the centre.
The extension of our weather service
to a number of islands in the Antilles
has already proved of considerable SER
vice by the warnings sent to our ports
and shipping of the approach of these
storms. No such warnings however,
could mitigate the catastrophe that has
overwhelmed Galveston. Her citizens
will probably ascertain, as soon as posi-
BILE, how far the resources of engineering
science may be available to protect, them
in future from similar invasions of the
sea caused by cyclones.
In the meantime theih more fortunate
fellow countrymen must extend to them
a helping hand, telling nolbrethrenttorsF
a helping hand, letting no one suffer for
tina. which they could not prevent.

Drying preparations simply develop dry
cataarh; they dry up the secretions
which adhere to the membrane and de-
compose, causing a far more serious trou-
BILE than the ordinary form of catarrh.
Avoid all drying inhalants and use that
which cleanses soothes and heals. Ely's
Cream Balm is such a remedy and will
cure catarrh or cold in the head and pleas
antly. All druggists sell it at 90 cents
or it will be mailed by Ely Brothers, 90

A. M POWELL, Mayor.

This call should meet hearty re-
Spouse. A cry comes from the MOOD
and hurricane sufferers that the pub
lie spirited and generous hearted peo-
pie of Raleigh cannot disregard.
Mayor Bhadsher, of Houston, who
has been designated by Governor Say
ers as the proper person to recelse
contributions, thus asks for help for
the food victims:
Galveston cut off from all commun-
ieation. Great suffering and loss OF
life known to exist. The damage be-
yond calculation. Aid should be sent
to Houston, which is nearest the base
OF supplies and relief. Have good or
ganization effected"
Raleigh, always ready to assist in
the relief of distress, must at once
make up a handsome sum to be for
warded at once to the proper author
tiles. Galveston has always respond
ed with ready hand to the calls for
relief when her sister cities have been
visited by calamities, and Raleigh
ever generous herself, should respond
literally to aid Galveston. Other
cities are responding with commend
able promptness and with great lib
crafty.
The sufferings of these people are
very great. In fact, to people in in
land towns the horror of the situation
of Galveston can hardly be conceived.
Ii is beyond the conception of man
10 imagine what those people went
through the other night and what
they are suffering today. They have
no water to drink as the cisterns and
wells on which they depended arc
filled with salt water from the gulf.
Their bridges which connected them
with the main land and outside world
are washed away. Hundreds of fam
lilies are today without shelter
ior means of subsistence. Hundreds OF
dead fill the streets. The living are
caught like rats in a trap.
Let men and women, old and young
attend today's meeting, that Raleigh i
response TO this call for help may be

 l THE FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME.
 4 Phoenix lady, filled with much foot bali excitement. successfully bucked the line in front of the ticket office at the | Park entrance yesterday afternoon, and bought the ticket. while the peO- i pie she had pushed aside or trampled l upon were recovering consciousness and wondering how they became in Volved in the game, since they be- ! lonEed neither to hhe Varsity Tor to the Indian school eleven. The lady then tackled the ticket taEer. and she showed a. handful of silver at him. That was the change she secured when she bought her ticket, which she was holding in her hand. The ticket talk
 CT saw it, and asked Do you want
 to keep the ticket for a souvenir? You
 had better let me have it. and you keep
 the silver. ! ain't allowed to handle
 money, anyhow. You buy a badge,
 or something" This conversation
 consumed time, but in spite of the de-
 lay. the lady got Cn the side inc be-
 fore the game was called. The
 management somehow knew she was coming and turned the stop-watch
 back. Upon heG arrival the play
 CTS were ordered to their places.
 MIR TOWARDS CONDITION
 Frank Howard, the accidental shoot
 ing. of whom was detailed in yestar- days paper, was resting as easily as
 could be expected last evening, al-
 though he is suffering considerable pain. He had not vet recovered suf- fcicnHy from the shock 10 make che examination with the %-ray adVisa- ble. but it is expected an eXamina- ton will be made today. What makes his case somewhat complicated is the fact that his right lung is affected with tuberculosis. and the bullet is proD- ably dangerously near to his left lung. However if the inflammation can be kept down. it is believed there is notH- ing to hinder his early recovery. once the bullet is removed. A gentleman who resides in the Madison school dis trict where the accident occurred, says it is more than probable that the wound was caused by ne accidental discharge of a pistol, as many boys iii that ncighborhocd, as well as men, | are in the habit of carrying pistols. | It should be said, however, in justice i to the residents of the Madison district, ] that they are as orderly as are he | people of any section, and no trouble | is known to exist among them. As for Mir Howard, he has no enemies. | and is himself convinced that the | was purely accidental.

These meetings held at the
Presbyterian church since Sunday
evening have drawn many who are
interested in tits great question
"a question involving money,
health, morality, and even life.
Mrs Hitchcock is woman in earn
est, and she knows her theme we'll.
She las lectured and worked both
in Canada and the United States
for ten years, and has secured
thousands of signatures to the tenn
perance pledge. Movements for
purifying communities and rescu-
ing men aud women from the slav-
cry of strong drink have often
come out of her work. What shall
b. accomplished here will depend
greatly on the feeling of conscien-
tious responsibility on the part of
christian men and women and the
part which Epworth Leaguers,
Loyal Baptist and Christian En-
beavers will play in this campaign.
In last nights lecture Mrs Hitch
cox had fine piece of word paint
ing on GLOW Kansas Secured Pro-
hibition The temperance women
we're aroused. They wrote every
MOI her in Kansas to use her IN
fuence with her husband and to
take deliberate and prayerful
stand for the defence of her home.
The churches are all united in this
work and the pastors are nightly
on the platform to give their NOR.
al support and influence. Much
is expected from the meetings.

Excellent Foot Ball Material

Two farmers who, for reasons best
known to themselves declined to give
their names, yesterday afternoon about
4:30 met with an accident at the bridge
across the Seaton ditch, short dis
lance east of the ice houses of the Geo.
+ Culavin ice company, which al
though resulting most fortunately for
the parties concerned had great posi-
billties for fatality.
The pair spent several hours and
considerable money, yesterday after
noon visiting the several thirst quencn
ing emporiums of the city and when
they started home late in the afternoon
they we're in rather hilarious mood.
AS they were crossing the tracks at
Ninth street the man who was driving
the horses whipped them into q run
and the animals unchecked by the oc
cupants of the buggy continued to run
until they reached the short bridge at
the end of lower Ninth street. Here
in attempting to make the abrupt turn
which the road takes, the horses
plunged from the bridge and fell head
long, taking with them the buggy aud
occupants into the ditch about II feet
below. The entire outfit WAS piled in
q promiscuous heap in the water under
the bridge, the men ut the bottom of
the heap. Several w"rkmen busy at
the ice houses near by noticed the
accident and hurrying to the scene
soon extricated the two men neither
of whom was injured the slightest,
except the chill resulting from the
sudden plunge into the ice cold water.
After considerable work the team and
buggy we're removed from their pre-
d,cament and soon the outfit was
headed homeward both farmers con
siderably sobered by their experience.

At the opening of the lesson the

learned the trip might be taken by

could take as much time as desired or
take more expeditions and cheaper
