THE EUREKA.
The Causes Which Led Up to Its Con.
structiOn.


Ofcourse everybody has right TO his own
opinion as TO causes and results. This being
true the Press and Banner offers It's solution
OF the origin OF the Eureka hotel.
AbbevilIe was not too we'll supplied With
first class hotels when DR.. Ancrum shut up
the front entrance OF the Glen Ethel. The
entrance was moved around 10 the side street,
where the office was established, with sample
rooms adjoining. The parlor was up stairs
over the office. And the dining room was put
go far away that guests had TO cross the
"Bridge of Slghs" which the Doctor erected for
the accom modation of people who were will
ling TO walk around to another ward OF the
town or township OF the county.
At the change there was some high Kicking
against hotel for which the travelling public
previously had not too exalted an opinion.
After hearing many uncompllmentary re-
marks about the architectural monstrosity,
the pride Of our young men were aroused
and their best efforts were directed TO re-
trievipg the situation.
They subscribed literally Of their own funds
and then called upon others TO help IN the
proposed work.
The result is, that Abbeville has thirty
thousand dollar hotel, which In Its appoint
ments Will be the equal OF any hotel In This
section of the country.
And 80 IL may be seen that the removal OF
the front ateps from our old hotel has brought
In a splendid new structure for the accommo'
dation of the travelling public.
The closing Of the front door OF old hotei
having brought good luck 10 the town. and
the closed uoor having served Its purpose, 1t
is now reopened and Aoeeville will have
two good hotels, Instead OF, so TO speak, no
hotel at all.
The Eureka will stand as q monument TO
the public spirit of the builders, while the
door OF the old hotel will stand open as In
aforetimes, for the accommodation OF the
travelling public.

NV ShiDS.

Some ships had In the long ago.
And beautiful ships were they,
But over the wide and bounding deep
My ships have sailed away.
Never. no, never, will they return,
My beautiful ships, TO me,
For ali are wreck I'D on a distant shore
Or sunk In the sounding sea.
The one named Youth, In Its ardent pride,
With It's flags and pennants gay,
AS IL sailed along so brave and strong,
Has silently sped away.
Fast DER the deep like bird 1t flew,
With banners aud sails 10 free,
Till lost from view and forever gone
Far over the deep blue sea.
And one called Fame gilded bark,
And priced by copquering kings,
Az on II sailed like blissiul dream
AS light as Lephyrns wings.
1t left no wake as IT sailed along.
Nor bays of the hero for me.
l saw II fade as 1t spread It's sails
Far out on the bounding sea.
And one was Wealth twas a gorgeous
craft,
With It's masts and spars of gold.
And decks aglow with glitlering gems
Whose value could ne'er be told.
And then away DER the waves 1t sailed
More treasure TO biting for me.
TITS buried now In the rolling deep;
Itsank in the bounding sea.
And Pleasure one, and a fairer ship
Neer sailed on the ocean blue,
The shrouds and masts with flowers en-
twined
And garlapds OF brilliant hue
The tables with luscious fruits were spread,
And richest Of sweets for me,
But 1t sailed away; IL left no trace;
1t sank In the rolling sea.
Now far away on the billow's crest
light of the purest ray
Shines bright as the State OF Beth'ehem
That shone on the magis way.
IT'S Hope, lis Hope. my beautiful ship,
Returning once more TO ME
And bringing me balm and peace and JOY
From over the raging sea.

d consumption of coal on the

engines. ~@. ...#. ..
BE figured down the average guam
tfty of coal consumed by each engine,
and posted a bulletin, offering each
engine crew half of the value of all
coal they could save monthly under
this establishment average. Each en-
CINE had its separate account. The
first year the company divided with
the men some $50, 600. Now 1t is an es-
tablished rule, each side profting.
Not long ago, some five years, in q
wreck, a conductor, who had been q
medical student, saved the lives of two
passengers who were bleeding to
death by the simple process of tying a
handkerchief around their lacerated
arms, making a wind lass of a stick
and twisting it around until the
hemorrhage ceased.
The president rewarded the man,
and at once required the conductors
and the enginemen Of the entire sys-
tenn to take q course in giving relief to
injured, which the company institut-
ed. Now, when passenger gets hurt
on bis lines Mr.. Hill knows he has
always present several experienced
men to render immediate aid until the
surgeon can arrive. The company
spent $50, 900 establishing this system.
For every life thus saved the company
reaps a reward In avoiding damage
suits, to say nothing of preserving
human life.

THE SPEED OF BIRDS.
e In Not Nearly SO Great ~ Has BeeAi
Generally Assumed. & @

/ E
II you consult the usually accepted au-
thorities on the speed Of birds IN their
fight, you are likely to be misled by an
exasgeration Of from 100 to 300 per cent.
This is because figures have beeh given
on hearsay, appearance and very superb
cial observation. But recently American,
English and French observers have been
comparing notes and are practically
agreed, after most careful calculation,
on the speed Of the best known birds.
They started with the carrier pigeon
and have made him base Of compart-
son. He has heretofore been credited
with 10 miles an hour, but It Is now
agreed that he Is entitled to 80. A quite
recent long distance, carefully conducted
test of 592 miles, from the Shetland Is
lands to London, showed that the most
rapid pigeons made 81 miles an hour.
On shorter distances zone made more
than 80 miles. s-s-.4. '.-.7.r ~
Because frigate birds have been seen
far from land and have been supposed
not to fly by night or to rest on the water
they have been credited with q speed OF
from $50 to 200 miles an hour. II they
did fly at that speed, they would have to
overcome an atmospheric pressure yof
from 112 to 130 pounds to the square
foot of flying surface. There is no Ger
tainty that they fly more rapidly than q
passenger pigeon or that they do not ny
at night or do not sleep on the water.
The swallow, that Is indeed q rapid
flier, has been credited with 1s0 miles
an hour, but he must be cut down to 70
miles, and the marten Is Eve miles behind
him, though authorities have placed him
ten miles ahead.
The teal duck Is brought down from
14O to 80 miles an hour. The malard is
ave miles slower and flies the same ~ the
canyasback, while both Of these are hve
miles an hour ahead Of the wild goose and
elder duck.
The pheasant makes 3S miles IN hour,
which is three miles ahead Of the prairie
chicken and quail, though the latter ap.
pears to fly much faster on account OF
his temporary burst Of speed that seldom
exceeds 200 feet. The crow flies 2S miles
an hour.
Small birds appear to fly more rapidly
than the large ones and have deceived
many observers. The humming bird does
not fly as fast as many awkward appear
Ing, very much larger, slow Hopping

DOES A BABY PAYf
Il Fathers View of the Entries Msdo
ON the Family Ledger. =

Does 2-year-old baby pay for itself up
to the time it reaches that interesting
age? Sometimes I think not. thought
30 yesterday when my own baby slipped
into my study and scrubbed" the carpet
and his best white dress with my bottle
Of ink. He was playing in the coal hod
ten minutes after a clean dress was put
on him, and later in the day he pasted 5O
cents worth Of postage stamps on the
parlor wall and poured dollars worth
Of the choicest white rose perfumery out
Of the window ito see 1t wain."
Then he dug out the CENTER Of nicely
baked loaf Of cake and was found In the
middle of the dining room table with the
sugar bowl between his legs and most OF
the contents In his stomach. g
He has already cost 500 in doctors
bills, and feel that am right In attrib-
uting my few gray hairs to the misery /
endured walking the floor with him at
night during the first year Of his life.
What has he ever done to pay me for
that? z
All! I hear his little feet pattering
along out in the hail. I hear his little
ripple Of laughter because he has escaped
from his mother and hes found his way
ND to my study at forbidden hour. But
the door Is closed. The worthless little
vagabond can't get in, and won't open
It for him. No. won't. I can't be dis
turbed when I'm writing. He can Just
cry II he wants TO-, won't be bothered
