IHE oalY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Help for Galveston.

Governor Savers of Texas says: Reports sent out by whomsoever that $SoO 900 or s9OO, have already been paid in, are absolutely false, and made without authority, and cal- sufferers on our coast. No such sum of money has been received or anything ap preaching It."
 Such reports were sent out from Texas news points out of mere earelessness, as maliciousness in such cases cannot be pre- sumed Governor Savers has not thus far received large sums, nor do all the reported sums total up to great figures; but what ever sums are received will be sadly needed, and every dollar will be faithfully, heart fully and inteligently expended.
 Governor Savers is endeavoring to raise sufficient money to pay honest labor lib- eral wages for cleaning the debris out of the streets, thus rendering the city and island sound in sanitary sense. He de- sires above all else to get the dead bodies out of the wreck and to remove all dead animals. He desires enough money besides to feed and clothe the destiiute-s~ho are physically incapable of work. He hopes to receive enough rrhoney to supply their wants for 1ff1ety days, when it is hoped thss>most of them will be able to take care of themselves. This is Governor Savers policy, and every dollar that goes into his hands will be well expended in the relief of almost incredible suffering and want Not one dollar too much can be sent him, but whatever sum is sent will be gratefully re- ceived and conscientiously applied. It will be made to buy as much labor, food or clothing as careful management can buy in Texas. Governor Savers is working in hours and out of hours to serve the people in the storm -s tricken city.

THE FU TURF
Matthew Arnold

Matthew ArnOiQ. And we say that repose has fled For ever the course of the River of Time. That cities will crowd to It's edge In blacker incessanter line; That the din will be more on its banks, Denser the trade on Its stream; Platter the plain where it flows, Fiercer the sun overhead. That never will those on it's breast See an ennobling sight Drink of the feeling of quiet agalr. Haply the River of Time, As it grows, as the towns on its nla-ec Fling their wavering lights On a wider statelier stream May acquire, if not the calm Of its early mountainous shore, Yet solemn peace of its own. And the width of the waters, the hush Of the gray expanse where he floats, Freshening It's current and spotted with
 foam
 As 1t draws to the ocean, may strike Peace to the soul of the man on its breast; As the pale waste widens around him As the banks fade dinner away As the stars come out and the night wind Brings up the stream
 ALurinurs the scents of tho infinite Sea.

 If, according to a current report, Bird S Coler is to be Bryans Secretary of the Treasury in the event of the Nebraskan's s election to the Presidency, the Comptroller knows nothing of such contingency.
 It's the first I have heard of it, said Comptroller Coler when asked today if he had received such a promise from Bryan or any one representing him. NO one has spoken to me about that subject"
 Would you accept such an offer from Bryan if he is elected?"
 After a moment he replied: 'I am taken up just at present with business of the Comptroller's office" But Coler smiled and smiled as if the idea was both pleasant and amusing.

 For want of argument of it's own, the esteemed Age-Herald fires a quarter column of Scriptural quotations at us, and we cheerfully commend the spirit which prompts it to put something good in its editorial columns. Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird," quoth Solomon, and the A. H. cant fnveigle this paper into a style of controversy which consists only of copying from the Bible. We can still write something of our own, if occasion requires.

The thing occurred at a restaurant

salesman from Richmond, and after
supper he amused us with some sleight
of-hand tricks. Finally he turned to
North Georgia merchant, who was in
the crowd, and asked If he had ever
seen an omelet made in hat.
THE merchant was portly, rather
pompous individual, and replied, after
some thought, that he had not. Well
said the tobacco man, I'll bet the eli
gars for us two that | can make an
omelet in the crown Of your new 81 k
hat without damaging it in the slight

and began to glggle Historically, but
the Georgian remarked solemnly that
he knew he would lose, but was will
ing to pay 20 cents to see the trick.
With that he handed over his hat.
which was brand-new, and the tobacco
salesman proceeded to send for some
eggs and broke several into the crown.
HE stirred them up with a knife and
then held that hat over the gas. In
about three seconds 1t was ghastly
hideous ruin, dripping raw eggs
through a big hole burned In the top.
BY jove! he exclaimed, you have beat
me out of the cigars. I've forgotten
how to do the trick AS the Georgian
examined his wrecked tile his face was

later | encountered him at the hotel,
and he took me aside.

he said, but still think it was a kind
of foolish bet"

THAT is the Naerofjord," she replied

MANY years ago." she went on, "a
beautiful maiden lived on this noun
tain, and she sang so sweetly in the
evening that all were charmed who
listened to her. She was merry and
happy, and her songs were gay as any
birds. But one day a stranger came in
his boat-even as you come now-and
hearing the maiden singing as she sat
here he praised her voice and said many
things which pleased her. And after
that they met here every evening dur
ing the summer time, and she was so
happy she sang only for love of him.
Though he lived in a distant country,
she consented to become his bride. He
promised to come for her when the
leaves fell in the forest, but he did not
come. The snow covered the mountains
and the spring melted it, and then she
knew she would see him no more. And
her sad songs seemed like moan as
the wind carried them out to sea, till
one night terrible storm swept the
ford and the girl did not come home.
They found her there by the rock in
the morning, where the waves had
washed her body on the sand. And
some say that on stormy nights you can
hear her moaning by the cliffs, for she
still mourns for the lover who promised
to come. never sit here at sunset but
