SCOOPED UP OUT OF OCEAN
A LADY'S REMARKABLE ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING.
Miss Fanny Day, Given Up for Dead,
Was Later Found in Pocket of
Big Mud ScOw.

Miss Fannie Day, young depart
ment store employee, Of New York,
was one of party of eight persons in
naptha launch, which was capsized
in the lower bay Saturday, had the
most remarkable escape from death
by drowning that any human being
probably has ever experienced.
Three of her companions were
swept to the bottom when the launch
with disabled engines, was run into
by a mud scow. Miss Day had gone
down with the others, and when moth
ing was seen of her for hours after
wards it was reported she had met
death. But when the mud scOw had
been towed nearly to its destination
and the deck hands were adjusting the
dumping apparatus at the bottom, they
were startled to find a handsomely
dressed young woman in one of the
pockets. Miss Day had been literally
scooped out of the water by the
dumping machinery, which had been
left open after the scow had dis
charged it's last load at sea.
Miss Day was just regaining con-
seriousness when discovered, and had
begun to call feebly for help. Two wo-
men and one man who were in the
launch we're drowned while three men
and one woman, the latter Miss Mabel
Cook. friend and roommate of Miss
Day, were picked up by passing craft
soon after the accident occurred.

ana vote the same ticket that our best,
noolest christian men vote. That in
itself is evidence enough to convince
one who will notice it.
The anti-dispensary man will tell
you that the sales are increasing. So
they are; but the cause is that the pop
ulatlon increases every year, and
from year to year other counties near
by go for blind tigers. 4 nearby
town, so l am informed, only had
thirteen whiskey houses q few years
ago, and now has about twenty-sev-
en-. Of course when our county votes
out the dispensary this town will
have two or three more whiskey
houses. 4
| hope the people will not act hasti-
ly IN the matter of signing the petition
TO call an election at this time. We
are IN the midst of a short crop at low
prices, and having just emerged from
fourteen months of political wrangling
let's have a rest promise to make
some amendments to the law re-
lating to the dispensary that will make
1t OF more efficiency than at present,
though | believe our bill is the best
law in existence. But l see points
that can be improved on, one of which
is to buy the liquors by sample, and
years supply at time, from the
lowest bidder, and not buy anything
that is rectifed, but only straight
goods or blends of straight goods;
let the liquors be analysed from
sample out of each shipment, and if
they do not come up to the sample
do not pay for it.
l see that many government institu-
tions advertise for bidders to furnish
supplies for year. This would not
necessitate the commissioners buying
all their supplies from one house, but
they might find it better to buy one
brand from one house and another
| from another, and so on. Then after
the acceptance of the goods, as per
sample, the successful bidder would
be instructed to ship certain amounts
of liquors on or about the first OF
every quarter, commencing January L.
I would further amend the law so that
cheap stuff could not be offered for
sale through the dispensary, and make
the law so that the average profit on
goods sold would not exceed a certain
per cent. 1t is a well-known fact that
the average profit of barrooms is about
100 per cent, and blind tigers get about
$50 per cent. Then if so per cent high
er grade liquors were sold legally the
blind tiger could not exist in the
county, and these fellows would have
to go to work instead of hawking
around the nasty stuff furnished them
by or through the mysteriousiy slick
fellow, who is posing for a good citi-
zen in the county, who takes the mon
ey and orders out the stuff and directs
the operations, and can't be touched
by any law.
Now, how hope the people will not
encourage the calling of an election
by signing this petition, but let us
chain the wild-eyed tiger closer, and
by education and moral suasion learn
the people to keep away from the dis
pensary. It will finally and in time
perish for want of patronage. 1t is
growing more and more unpopular
each day with the educated.
Educate the people is the slogan
and am ready to vote for any law
that taxes to educate. j. r. MERCER.
