Inevitable Happenings.

All seasons bring their peculiar
fruits and the coasting season is no
exception to the general rule. Coast
ing and skating are trimming full OF
fun and frolic as they have been since
time out of date, and these folklore
sports should never be demerited by
casualties of any kind. This seems,
however, to be impossible according to
the common course of human events.
Almost simultaneously with the
coming of the snow there also comes
the reports of broken limbs and loss Of
life. A little boy, thirteen years OF
age was killed, last Thursday, while
engaged with his playmates in the
seeming harmless pastime OF coasting
down steep declivity in Seattle, and
two women were seriously injured in
Tacoma from similar cause. Olym.
pia has had its full share of gruesome
results from this winter sport, and it
remains to be seen what the harvest
will be this year.
Bicycle riders are restrained by strict
municipal regulations and so it should
be with coasters during the cold sea-
son. Every year there comes the COM
plant from pedestrians that they are
endangered by sleds which come whiz-
zing down the sidewalk wherever the
grade offers temptation to coasting,
and now this well grounded complaint
is again heard. The sidewalk coasting
evil is not confined to children of ten
der years, but "big boys and girls" are
the ones most complained OF by people
who pay taxes for the privilege of
walking along safe thoroughfares at
night.
II coasters injure themselves they
have, of course, only themselves to
blame for their hardihood and care
lessness; but when a long coasting
sled, loaded with half a dozen adults,
comes at breakneck speed down one
of our frequented sidewalks, tearing
pickets off the fences, and endanger-
ing the lives of women and children,
the matter becomes serious enough to
be promptly corrected by legal re-
straint.
That no coasting be allowed on any
street or sidewalk within the city
limits, might appear to be rather
sweeping regulation, but it would
have the advantage of being the be-
ginning and end OF the law and no
wilful violator could misconstrue it.
If these suggestions are not duly
acted upon by our city authorities we
may have to chronicle another heart
rending calamity.

Too Bad !!

The STANDARD sympathizes with
Oily in his humiliation consequent
upon being unable to publish the OFF,
cial vote OF Thurston county until
more than a fortnight after election.
But this hardly justifies him in using
a cat's.paw (E. G. Kreider) to find
fault with the manner of stating the
pluralities for the several successful
candidates by this paper, which gave
the complete result last week. Any
intelligent method of stating the ma
jorities was usual and proper, espe-
cially when the totals were given by
which they could be verified. The
plan adopted where two candidates
were elected was to subtract the vote
of the two highest defeated candidates
from that of the two winning candi-
dates, respectively, proceeding that
was just as regular and sensible
as subtracting both the defeated candi-
dates vote from the highest vote on
the winning ticket.
Chairman Kreider should keep
away from monkeys if he don't want
to get his fingers burned.

Thanksgiving Bulletin for Galveston

In connection with the reference tC
the Union Thanksgiving service
which appears in another column
it may be we'll to note the real
need that still exists in the unfortu'
nate city Of Galveston. Many seem
to think that all that is necessary has
been already done; but this is great
mistake, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing extract from a recent letter OF
Miss Clara Barton, President OF the
National Red Cross:
There is not to-day needfully hungry
person in Galveston; none needing
clothing that can he reached not an
orphan child uncared for that we know
of :; but there are eight thousand home
less people. Try to think what that
word implies to the home-loving Anglo
Saxon. Three.fourths OF these are with
out the vestige of a shelter, only as hud-
died in with friend or stranger; not an
article that ever was in the home is left
not one familiar object to their eyes
not a single earthly possession. and
often even all that is forgotten in the I'M
speakabe loss of those who went out
with the home.
Where shall these wTetched people go
What shall become OF them? Many
owned their homes; but for miles and
miles along the coast even the ground
is gone, and the restless tide GIBBS and
flows over what was all to them. When
and how shall they find another home,
even small and temporary-some place,

self.
1t is this, my good friend and CO.
worker, that draws the anxious look
over the brows of these Galveston men.
1t is this that perplexes their committee.
Johnstown had its three thousand
homes replaced; Port Royal had its
four thousand little rude huts and homes
rebuilt. Shall Galveston alone remain
unsheltered? Is she not a part of the
land OF the free and the home of the
brave?
The American people have absolute
and well.founded confidence in Miss
Barton, and are sure that all money
committed to the "Red Cross Texas
Relief Fund" will be wisely used.

Destructive Storms in the East.

Terrible storms have been raging in
several STATS the past week, accom-
panied generally by heavy fall of
snow. In Tennessee wires are down,
and the extent of disaster come in
slowly by belated trains, over routes
that have not been blocked by snow
and deep water. 1t is reported that
forty persons were killed by the tor
nado at Columbia, Tenn, most Of
whom were negroes. La Grange is
another place where the loss of prop
cry and life is large. Thirty stores,
churches and dwellings were demol.
ished. Besides the killed, quite q
number were seriously wounded.
The storm seems to have started
near Tunica, Miss, where hundreds Of
farm houses were destroyed, and q
score of lives were lost. 1t was here
and in the middle and western parts
OF Tennessee that the storm attained
its greatest severity, and all along its
pathway grave casualties are reported.
Some idea of the force of the tornado
may be formed from the fact that a
freight train on the Nashville, Florence
and Sheffield Railway, was lifted from
the track byit.
The cotton crop is seriously dam
aged, but the extent OF injury to all
classes Of property can only be con.
jectured till communication is re-
stored.
The north has by no means been
exempt from storm disaster. In the
Eastern and Middle States severe cold
has been experienced. accompanied
generally by heavy fall of snow. In
the West, Pixies Peak seems to have
been the storm center, and delayed
trains and destruction OF property
have been reported wherever means
of communication were open. At
Colorado Springs the wind attained a
velocity of 80 miles an hour and the
storm ragged for sixteen hours.
