THE FEAR OF Lightning.

Last Tuesdays thunderstorm calls TO
mind that there fingers in the minds OF
the people latent fear of impending
nature, which in times past, bas found
expression in the invention OF the hgt-
ming rod by Benjamin Franklin. On
Frankhn's tombstone is, In Latin,
"Eripuit fulmen ex c8lo"-he snatched
the the thunderbolt from heaven. In
classic literature frequent allusion is
is made to the fear caused by lightning,
Ajax being represented as defying the
lightning, while woman is running
to the egis of protection of mans arms.
The ancient fear that inhabited the
breast of the female, with respect to
lightning, is rife in the world, for it is
a common sight in many households
during fiery display of nature, when
God is writing his autograph across the
sky, to see women under featherbeds,
or in the middle of the bed, with the
windows closed, with fingers in ears,
in a perfect state of treuor.
There are numerous instances where
death has resulted more from fright
than shock, and we believe that statistics
proves that the casualty among females
in being actually shocked far outnumber
the males.
The ancients believed that those who
were killed by lightning, were cursed
from Heaven, and along with suicides,
were dragged to a cross-road, where they
were pinioned to the earth with stake
driven through the heart.
Prof. Tyndall, than whom possibly
there was no more scientific man, re-
cords his pleasure when once tourist
up the Alps as witnessing great elec-
trio display, while the less informed
peasants ridding themselves Of their
spiked shoes and metal pointed halberts
were at distance shuddering with fear.
The casualty resulting from lightning
stroke is extremely rare and in the
causes of death is so infintesimal that it
is not tabulated.

At meeting of the city board Of
health on last Thursday, there being
present: DR.. Roger de Montluzin. presi-
dent; DR.. r. J. Turner, health officer;
Mr.. Carl Marshall, secretary. The
subject of discussion was glanders
among the horses of the municipality.
The board recommended that the mayor
appoint health officer for Bay st.
Louis for one month whose duty it is
to see that all the drinking troughs are
kept scrupulously clean, and to warn
the people as much as possible to keep
their stock at home. The suggestion
was also made that the inspector ap-
pointed By the mayor should make a
house-to-house canvass inspecting the
sanitary condition of premises, and to
examine markets, vegetable shops, cess
pools, backyards, stables, and all such
places. A plea was also and is hereby
issued to all the people Of Bay ST. Louis
urging everyone to report any suspected
ease of glanders whether in man o1
beast to the city board of health.
The board also passed resolution
calling the attention Of mayor to the or
dinance prohibiting drainage of prohib-
tive matter into the lake, the same
being, by some, flagrantly violated Il

zens of the town.
Resolutions of regret were also passet
at the loss. by removal from our com.
munity Of one of the valued members O
the board, w. w. Mines, and the sug
eestion was offered to the mayor tina

The Olympia Opera Company, one of
the very best musical combinations of

Osoinach House on next Friday night,

THE PASSING OF THE POLITICIAN.

In literature we find many trite say
ings applicable to tho saying, "He that
diggeth pit shall fall therein; or, as
Shakespeare puts it, "Hoist on his own
petard"; or, "He that maketh gal
lows shall hang thereon" But evil
IDENTIFY none of these epigrams apply to
the primary election law formulated and
passed through the efforts of the COVER
nor to be, Hon. E. L. Noel.
The fallacy of the aoove epigrams
lies in the speciousness that the primary
election laws are not snares, but bene-
fits, and it is a compliment to our dis
tinguished governor that he is indorsed
by the suffrages Of the people for Civ
ing such salutary methods OF eradicate
ing evil from politics.
Not much longer can the demagogue
fool the people into perpetuating him
in Office; for he has to answer for his
conduct before the forum of public
opinion in the shape of votes. He can
not, as in the past, send out his litera-
ture and kegs of beer and TASKS OF whis-
key to have votes cast in his behalf, to
perpetuate himself in Office, as has been
frequently done in our State; nor can
he get out, without damage to his own
chances, and work to perpetuate
others of equal stripe as himself in
Office, without sooner or later being
made to pay the penalty by the sover-
eipn voters of our State. The idea that
politician can forget the people that
elevated him to his Office by their votes,
and, having reached the top OF the lad

rungs on which he rose, is a common
one and is on-Jeffersonian and Tn
American. People are becoming edu-

CAT ISLAND.

j The little island that looms up in the
horizon, in front Of The Echo ONCE
and revels ID the euphonious name ol
i "Cat" has at last been sold and passes
into the hands of Major Harrod, OF New
Orleans. Itwas long time ago in pos
session OF the Cuevas family. having
been sold many years ago by one men,
Der of that family, apparently without
the consent Of all concerned, entailing
a litigation that was only recently set
tied by the United States Government
escheating the same.
The purchaser of the island Major
Harrod-was formerly member of the
Panama Commission, having been ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt, which
appointment caused no little comment
on the part of the press of the country.
Having been purchased by Major
Harrod, it would indicate that he has
some project connected with the Panama
Canal in view that he wishes to further
by this beautiful gem. of the Sound,
while some imagine that magnificent
winter resort will be built on the superb
water front there, while others think
that it will become the site OF future
city, rivalling our own picturesque town
in dalliance and splendor.
Cat Island is historically the oldest
spot visited by the adventurous DTber-
vile, he having landed there many days
before planning the old city of Biloxi.
Some beautiful traditions cling around
old Cat Island that serve to show the
religious fervor of those adventurous
Creoles whose zeal caused them to fol-
low up the daring work OF Lasalle.
Among other beautiful memories is that
of Pierre Dominique, priest, who ac-
companied Iberville and who, while on
the ocean, contracted that dreadful dis
ease that finally conquered D'Iberville.
Just in sight OF Cat leland, he, propped
up on his couch, watching the sunkissed
waters Of the. Gulf, observed the heav-
ems above the beautiful island literally
filed with vultures. Knowing of his
speedy dissolution and fearing the awful
sequel after his death, he stretched out
his whitening hands in malediction to-
wards the island and cursed it, so that,
it is said, from that day to this, no vul-
ture has ever lit upon that island. 1t
was there that DeTonti, the iron-handed
man, who followed LaSalle down the
majestic waters of the Mississippi, met
with the Lemoines, as the three broth
ers were called, and over in Back Bay,
in Biloxi, to this day can be seen the
grave of DcTonti, the uncle of the
Frenchman who stSrtad Te-.in~ rns..r-
More recent advices claim that Cap
tain Jones has repurchased the island
from Major Harrod, and reports indicate
that the island will be denuded of its
trees, and the mysterious sand bank
that occupies the whole of the interior
of the island will be removed. The tim
Der on the island alone, though small,
is said to be valued at about twenty
five thousand dollars. In years to come
we predict that Cat Island will be to the
Sound what Catalina Island is to the
coast of California.

There is movement on foot on the
part of the mayor OF Waveland and some
leading citizens of that enterprising
little city to open street from St.
Charles street through Wayeland. This
movement ought to meet the hearty ap-
proval of the citizens of our own city,
and we feel assured that no enterprising
citizen will refuse to give the right OF
way for this highway. 1t is obvious
hat this will fill long-felt want, but
will greatly enhance the value of the
property through which it passes. The
mayor of Bay ST. Louis will requested
by some of our leading citizens to con-
fer with Mayor Bourgeois to see the
property holders and secure giftsl oi
right of way.

celered School Opening.

The Colored School, under the SUPER
vision of the great oolored educator,
G. w. Brown, has quite an elaborate
program for its opening morning next
Monday. Brown always keeps his
school in the public eye and likes the
free use of printers ink in exploiting
his enterprise and really he deserves
great praise for his work among the
colored people: The Echo has in times
Brown from other points where he has
taught, e. g. Laurel, and all the people
queried give him the very best endorse
ment for integrity, energy and scholar
ship, and he has during his sojourn here
merited this endorsement. Last year
he undertook to do what seemed to be i'm
possible, namely, got his race to raise a
thousand dollars towards the purchase
of school house and today the colored
school has substantial building on seven
acres of ground, and we predict that if
Brown is given the proper encourage
ment he will build up there an industrial
institution that will make the colored
people of Bay st. Louis proud of him.
The program that he has arranged for
the opening day appears below:

MEETING OF THE SCHOOL BOARD OF BAY
ST. LOUIS, MISSISSIPPI.

There were some well-defined rumors
afloat that the regular meeting OF the
school board on the last Saturday in
August was somewhat tempestuous.
1t was alleged by some who said they
were eavesdroppers that there was some
spice and ginger afloat among the mem
bers on communication from Prof.
T. L. Trawick, offering his services free
to the school board to assist in the open
ing of the school in the absence OF a
principal. Next morning these rumors
were afloat generally that the school
board did not want his services because
the president of the board had said
in "open meeting" that he was totally
incompetent to teach the school. 1t is
also stated that uncomplimentary things
were said by the president to a member
of the school board who favors the pro-
fessor's offer; that he was put on the
board for a purpose, etc.
The Echo has undertaken to ferret
out the correctness of this fumor and
finds that all the allegations are totally
without foundation. Mr.. Chapman
writes from Donaldsonville: 81 will
state most emphatically that | have
never questioned your competency to
teach, and if anyone has said so, they
have deliberately made a misstatement,
not to call it by stronger word. / will
refer you to the secretary of the board,
who will give you the sense of the board
in regard to your kind offer to open the
school, and which endeavored to COM
municate to you in my note of thanks

Mr.. Hymel, of the board, who was
present at the meeting, says that the
reports circulated were gross ISLANDERS
and totally without foundation. He
said that no one said that he was put on
there for a purpose, but that the meet
ing of the board was thoroughly har-
monious. Otner members OF the board
state the same thing. So ends the bub-
BILE, disastrously to those who endeavor
to break up friendship. Prof. Trawick
has always been friend of the school
and stands ready at all times to be of
service to it in any way.
