Times Democrat Latest Exploit.

The enterprise of the New Orleans
Daily Times s-Democrat, in sending out
specially chartered steamboat to Bay
St. Louis and the other Coast towns
yesterday morning, with a supply Of
Yesterdays Times-Democrat for its pa
irons, who were cut off completely from
the outside world, was the subject of
much and favorable comment around
town.
The steamer, the Walter F. Jahncke,
blew her whistle for Bay St. Louis at
about II o'clock forenoon, with a heavy
supply of copies of the imes-Democrat,
in charge of the well-knoWn "Bob"
Pollock. Five hundred copies were de-
livered here at the Bay ST. Louis News
Stand, and before o'clock every copy
had been sold. Leaving here, the stea-
mer continued her course eastward to
the other Coast towns and passed off
Bay St. Louis on its return trip about
o'clock in the afternoon.
On board was staff of news writer's,
photographers and others. No commu-
nication by wire to receive the news
from its local correspondents, this enter
prising journal not only served its pa
irons, but prepared and arranged to get
the news of the storm by sending its
own staff by water, fully equipped for
the task.

and able local correspondent of the
