MORE AID NEEDED
AT GALVESTON

Galveston, Oct. 7.-Miss Clara Bar
ton, president of the National Red
Cross society, to-day issued a statement
to the manufacturers and business
men of the country, In which she ap-
peals to them for aid in the way Of ma
terial, to be used in the building of
homes for those who lost their all in
the recent storm. 1t is addressed:
ITO the manufacturers and dealers in
lumber, hardware, builders materials
and household goods, and to business
men In general of the United States,
and says:
1--WE believe it is reliably stated that
there Is not one house in the area of
the storm undamaged by It. A large
proportion of these persons formerly
occupying them are entirely without
homes or even shelter, save such per-
sons as nearly as destitute as them
selves can offer them temporarily, 10
their great Inconvenience and cost.
1.-THE number of this homeless class
is estimated at 5000 or more. Winter
is less than two months away. Al
though mild climate still snow and
ice are known here. If tents would
protect, which they will not, the sea
sand and the quicksand would not hold
them down: the first norther would
leave their occupants as unsheltered as
before; and hardships, colds, pneu-
monia and consumption would find
what the storm has left.
"Some substantial shelter must be
had mt once for these people.
1.-The havoc wrought by the storm In
Galveston at once WIS much larger in
loss of life and property than at Johns
town, but the donations in money 80
far have aggregated one-third less for
both the city and mainland than was
given at Johnstown.
"While the bountiful outpouring of
the peoples generosity has enabled the
general relief committee and the Red
Cross to feed the hungry, clothe the
naked, and render the streets of Gal
weston partially passable, nothing has
rs yet been done toward reinstating the
impoverished survivors in houses where
they can escape disease and enjoy the
slight measure of the comforts OF
which tie storm deprived them.
ut is for the purpose of awakening
the sympathies of the American peo-
pie and further appealing to their
bOuntiful instincts to rescue these suf-
ferers from the hardships still con-
fronting them, that the foregoing state
ments have been put forth"

In Good Company.

In 1IS9 George Washington was an
imperialist
His political enemies said so.
In 1906 John Adams was an imper-
ialist.
Thomas jefferson said SO. and he re-
peated it in 1860.
From 1900 to 1908 jefferson was the
imperialist. He imperially annexed
Louisiana and dictated the selection of
his successor. James Madison.
In 1880 Jackson was an imperialist
His enemies printed pictures of him
with n crown on his head and a robe
about his shoulders, trampling the con
stitution of the United States under
his feet.
In 1850 Abraham Lincoln succeeded
to the heritage of Imperialism.
His enemies said he overthrow the
constitution and established arbitrary
rule and would make himself king by
the strength of the army, and when
the assassin waved his dagger near
Lincoln's PROSTATE form he shouted,

From 1865 to 1876 General Grant was
the imperalist.
The Democrats used to call him the
king of America" and 1.-THE Man on

And now President Mckinley is an
lmperialist.
The Democrats say so.
And they mean just as much and just
MS little as when Washington. and
Adams, and Jefferson, and Jackson,
and Lincoln, and Grant, were called
imperialists by their political oppon-
| ents.
If President Mckinley were not a
great American, and If he had not ac-
complished great things for the Ameri-
can people, he would not be called an

The craze for Kruger coins and
stamps has been SO pronounced that a
complete set is not now to be had in
the regular market. A SLIPS piece is
rated at s12.50, and what is known as
an Extraordinary" crown at $50. This
Is because in 1892 the die makers gave
the bullock-wagon shafts. instead of a
pole (or disselboom.) All coins from
half-sovereigns downward were SO
struck. and got into circulation before
the error was discovered. Any one OF
these coins fetches more than IS.

What engineer Manford considers lucky
about the accident is that 1t didn't occur
when the train vas going at full speed,
which would Lave caused terrible
smash-up. The train had almost stopped
when the axle broke and consequently no
great damage was done. The accident
occurred while the the engine was on the

A good one is told on one of Martins
burgs respected citizens living near Green
Hill cemetery, which is verified by the
statements of several men who saw it oc-
cur. Last week he sold young calf and
after it had been taken out Of the stable
the old COW kept bawling continually.
Some men, seeing chance for joke,
told the owner that good way to stop
the bawling was to get the calf's tail from
the butcher and hang it up in the stable.
He took the seemingly sound advice o his
advisers and secured the tail. As he en-
tered the stable to hang it up, the heart
broken COW scented the blood on the tail
and made a dart straight after the bearer,
who got out of the stable and shut the
door just in time to escape the vicious
attack of the frenzied COW.
