If there be one thing that I more than an
other admire it is the having ones wits about
one-perhaps because I never had mine. To
be possessed only of resprit d'escaliers is
simply an %aggravation, writes John Paul in
Harper's Magazine.
As illustrative of ready-witted men I re-
call an incident that I have often told but
never published. Let mt do that now in
justice to one that is gone. - {,
In company with the late j. R. Osgood I
once Of an evening dropped in at Wallack's
old Fourteenth Street theater. We could
get no seats, as there was standing room
only. At the end of the first act two or
chestra seats were vacant in front, and we
walked down and took them. Barely were
we seated when two gentlemanlylooking
young men came down the aisle and ad-
dressed me.
beg pardon, but have you checks for
those ~Eeats?"
I wes on the point of rising, when Osgood
replied. "No. Have you?"
They hadn't. 1t was merely a bit of su-
preme bluff. But how few would have had
the readiness to meet and parry it.

Says Dead Number 5000.
Galveston, Tex, Sept. 12.-Mayor
Walter G. Jones estimates the number
of dead at 5000, and he is conservative.
Over 1890 bodies have already been
taken out to sea or buried in trenches.
Other hundreds are yet to be taken
from the ruins. These bodies are now
all badly decomposed, and they are be-
ing buried in trenches where they are
found. Others are being buried in the
debris where this can be done safely.
TSere is little attempt at Identification,
and it is safe to say that there will
never be a complete list of the dead.

whose bodies. are being taken out were
probably only injured when they were
first struck down, but there was no
getting relief to them and they per-
ished miserably.
Looters Shot.
The remnant of the force of regular
soldiers who were stationed here-and
it is a very small remnant-have Joined
the police in %patrolling the city. Sew
eral persons have already been shot,
it is reported. A soldier of Capt. Raj
ferty's battery, while patrolling the
beach Tuesday morning ordered a man
to desist from looting. The fellow
drew a weapon and the soldier shot
him dead. The soldier was attacked
by four other men and he killed all of
them. He had five cartridges in his
rifle, and each of them found a victim.
Other men have also been shot, but
the details are not known nor can the
exact number be ascertained, but it is
probable that 25 were killed. Some
of these were shot for failing to halt
when ordered to do so. Others were
shot for vandalism.
Many in the Ruins.
The ruins of the heavier brick build
ings have not yet been searched for
the dead, and there is a large number in
them. In the mass of rubbish which
marks the site of the Lucas Terrace
boarding house 40 or so people were
killed outright and their bodies are
still in the ruins The orphans home
on the beach is totally demolished.
Ninety-two children and II nuns were
killed there.

says the death list will reach 5000.
The relief committee states that not
less than 5000 families are destitute
and shelterless. It also says:
The entire remainder of the population
is suffering in greater or less degree. Not
a single church, school,, or charitable in
