Like 4 Cat on = wall.

A Scotch highland minister was very
fond of commenting on each verse as
he read it out. On reading the precept.
Walk circumspectly, he said: We've
all seen cat. my brethren. walking on
the top Of wall covered wi broken
bottles and bits of glass. See hoo it
lifts ae fit and then anither fit and hoo
slowly and carefully it puts it doom. to
keep clear of the sharp bits Of glass.
And so. my brethren. In this warld O.
snares and pitfalls. we should be like
the cat on the wall-we should walk
circumspectly."

The Democrats are processing great
exuitation over the result of the Maine
election where the Republicans had a
majority of "only" $1,000. Taking the
Republican majorities in Maine for tho
last forty years the average is about
10000 and anything above that figure
is a Republican gain. In 1895 the dread
OF the election of Repudiationist for
president sent the Republican majority
up to $4,000, and 1t is by comparing tho
late election results with tine vote Of
that year that the Democrats get their
encouragement" But there is the
same Democratic candidate and the
same Democratic platform in 1900 that
put fear into the hearts Of the Maine
ties In 1895, and there is no reason to
doubt that the result will be the same
as In that year. The vote on state off,
GERS taken last week was simply a
showing of the normal party majority,
and the same horror Of Republication and
dishonor that sweiled the honest vote
in 1896 will swell 1t again In 1900 to a
point near the $4,000 majority

The man sprang. out of bed and hur-
riedly dressed himself. His face was
pale and his hands trembled, but he
shut his lips with a determination to
sell his life dearly. He heard foot
steps moving In the hall, and presently
his door was burst from its hinges and
a dozen men burst into the room. They
found him standing with revolver in
each hand and the light of battle in his
eyes.

ON A BUSINESS BASIS.

Relief Work At Galveston Now More
sys, ematic.
GALVESTON. Tex, Sept. 19.-"The
situation continues to improve" is
what one is told now, when one applies
at any of the various headquarters for
Information. In fact this statement is
being made with gratifying monotony
all over the city. The work has been
bronght down to a business basis as far
as possible, and the amount of system
land order displayed in the various de-
Ipartments would furnish cause for con-
siderable surprise to anyone who might
return to Galveston after an absence of
Shree or four days.
Supplies and money are now pouring
in from all over the country. For rea-
sons which should be obvious the COM
mittee IN charge have asked the news
paper correspondents to refrain from
sending out the. exact amount of cash
received so far, but it will be no viola
ton of confidence to state that at least
seven figures are needed to express the
amount. This is being used judi
ciously, so far as can be observed and
the good effects of the pr essence Of such
a relief fund in the city are already be-
coming apparent.
Death List viii Reach 5000.
Reluctantly one is forced to the opin-
ion that the estimate of 5000 hvesalost
is too low and that the number will be
as high as 5000, and perhaps even
above that figure This conclusion has
mot been reached without considerable
thought and careful investigation.
Everyone has tried to be as conservative
and careful as possible in making es,i.
mates, both as to the losses of life and
property, but in view Of all the features
of the situation to be seen now it is not
possible to reiterate the former estimate
sof 5000. Judge Morgan states that, in
his opinion, the list will go as high as
1000. The exact number, of course,
will never be definitely known. ef@
There are no Developments which
would lead to the belief that the est.
mate Of property loss of $22, SOC, 600 is
too high. While one occasionally finds
a business man whose property has not
suffered greatly, it must be stated that
the class is hopelessly in the minority
and that large losses are the rule.

CHAPMAN AADNO TROUBLE
SAILORS WANTED TO GO ON THE
A. G. ROPES.
She Starts Round the Horn for New
York-A Captain Who Needed No
Shipping Masters.

The big American ship A. G.. Ropes,
Captain Chapman, left this morning for
New York, with $500 bags of sugar. She
is one of the Drettiest windjammers
afloat, both inside and as seen in the
water from a distance, her lines being
of an older, more beautiful model than
the big vessels now being built, in
which the efforts to get big carrying
capacity have produced uglier outlines.
There was no trouble ABOUT getting a
crew for the A. G. Ropes. No shipping
masters were employed, and Captain
Chapman did not pay anyone a cent for
men. Nevertheless, he had too many
sailors, and only this morning was
obliged to refuse three applicants for
places on the ship. For a vessel going
round the Horn from Honolulu this Is
a remarkable, almost unprecedented
state of affairs. The reputation of the
ship is responsible for it.
When Captain Chapman arrived here
the shipping master fight was just be-
ginning to get warm. At that time the
shipping combine was in the height of
it's power, and Captain Chapman was
informed that he would have to pay $40
blood money for every man. The cap
tain said he didn't want the help of any
shipping masters, and wasn't going to
pay a cent. When told that he would
be tied up he only smiled and said, 81
guess I'll get a crew." The sequel prov
ed that he was right Ever since he
began to get ready for sea there have
been men after him for a chance 70
get on the ship. This is the highest
compliment that can be paid to a ship
and her master, and those who know
Captain Chapman think he deserves it.
The Ropes takes as mate John Erdall,
the man who was so fearfully beaten
at midnight recently, when he was en-
gaging in the shipping business. His
