ASHORE ON FIRE ISLAND.
British Freight Steamer Went Fact
on Shoal In Snowstorm.

British Freight steamer Went Fact
ON Shoal In snowstorm.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The British
freight steamer Drumelzier, which sail
ed from New York for Havre, Dunkirk
and Swansea, went ashore on a shoal
off the point of Fire island bar at z
o'clock and held fast. The crews Of
the Fire island and Oak island life
saving stations went to the assistance
of the stranded steamer as soon as
her predicament was discovered at
daylight. 1t is presumed that in the
thick snowstorm any signals which the
stranded steamer may have displayed
were not discovered by the patrol Of
the life saving station. When the life
savers reached the steamer shortly
after daylight they found hat she was
lying well outside of the breakers and
MS only a moderate sea was running
was lying easily without pounding. The
wind was fresh from the northeast and
the weather cloudy. The shoal on
which she stranded is half a mile di
rectly west Of the point of Fire island
bar; and the steamer lies heading
southeast. she appears to be a little
lower at the bow than at the stern.
The Drumelzier is fast amidships,
with both bow and stern free. Captain
Nicholson says that after passing San
dy Hook he saw nothing until the
steamer struck. 1t is believed she can
be ftoated at high tide. With the as
sistance of a tug. s."' !"

Trouble.

May Be n Stylish One, But 1t Makes
Trouble.
A man usually buys a hat that's "in
STYLE" but the modern hat for men has
lots to answer for.
Baldheads are growing more numer-
Gus every day. Hats make excellent
breeding places for the parasitic germs
which sap the life from the roots of the
hair.
When your hair begins to fall out and
your scalp is full of Dandruff it is a
sure sign that these countless germs are
busily at work.
There is but one way to overcome the
trouble and kill h germs-that way Is
to apply Newbro's Hefpicide to the
scalp-it will kill the germs and healthy
hair is sure to result.

THE CITY DRAINAGE PUMPS

More misintormaiion is given, by
the Argus regarding the city pumps
and the manner of their Introduction
That paper tells what it must know
is not true when it says that there
was any serious opposition 10 the in
PRODUCTION of the pumps So far as
the Bulletin is concerned il opposed
the establishment of one great pump
az Tenth street, as was at first pro
posed, which should serve 70 drain
the entire city The Bulletin urged
that the city should profit BY the ex
periencc il had years before with a
pump Of great capacity, which was on.
Grated then with such poor success
that It was finally sold as junk; il
urged that a pump Of moderate ca
pacity be put in at Tenth street and
other pumps Of lesser capacity at
other points, because it would be i'm
possible to drain the entire city TO-,
ward one point, owing TO the differ
ence in the levels of the sewers. 1t
would have been a serious and an cX.
penciye blunder had the city council
permitted itself to be persuaded to
adopt the plans which contemplated
the establishment of only one pump
for the entire city.

sets forth that the company pays out
$500 week in wages. which is a gen
eral benefit to the city. and that il is
compelled to pay $40 a month for fire
protection, while other establishments
are supplied with such protection by
the city. The Bulletin has always fay-

sions, not only to prospective indus
trial establishments. but also to those
already here. without regard to who
owned them. Ia this respect Il has

IGNORANCE OR DISHONESTY

1t is an unpleasant, but a foreej
conclusion that the advocates OF mu
niclpal lighting now, either were igno
rant few months ago, or are dishoA.
est now. This applies to the mayor
| first OF all ana il applies to his oracle
Candidate Nef, with equal force Both
Of them either did not know what they
were talking about less than a year
ago. Or they are now engaged in de-
Hberate organized attempt 20 mis-
lead the people hy misrepresentation.
The Bulletin has resisted this concm-
sion as long as il has been possible
to do SO, There is now no longer any
possible way to avoid it, ana we feel
exceedingly distressed over the fact,
for the mayor is according TO the Ar
gus. The Bulletins obstreperous bed
fellow. and Mr.. Neff is its friend.
The mayors declaration on the
lighting question in his message TO
the city council written ana delivered
less than a year ago is known to ey-
cry one. ana is reproduced elsewhere
in these columns As The Bulletin
has already stated there has been no
change in the state law which he
said would prevent the city from in
curing any liability To procure
lighting plant ana if there has been
any change in the financial condition
al the city since the mayors message
was written aud delivered it is worse
than it was at that time Hepce the
mayors attitude now on this subject
compels the conclusion as above
stated.
As to Mr. Mem, who now fills col
umns Of space in the papers to prove
that the people OF Cairo could operate
an electric lighting plant at an eY-
pense Of only $3.50 per month, the
same conclusion is unavoidable, for
less than a year ago, h save to cit,
zen. who was interested in the mat
ter stat ment as to the probable
cost OF operating q plant, placing the
figures at SCj700 per month. not
