rheumatism. penniless, ragged, home
less and friendless. Jimmy" McNaily
staggered into the Tombs police court
the other morning and begged to be
sent to the almshouse. McNally, who
spent millions OF dollars, asked only
that he might be sent some place
where he might spend his few re-
! naming days.
"All in" he said. huskily. to Ser
geant Gcrmann. Drugs, opiates. NOR
phine and cocaine. dissipation in the
days of his prosperity and exposure
of late had combined to put him
down and out"
There never appeared man In
the Tenderloin who spent more money
steadily than Jimmy McNally, who
literally threw it away on wine. wom-
en- and everything else except song.
Not for a week or month did he
scatter thousands, but for years.
One night 15 years ago he told
reporter he had taken in as his one
share of the profits for one week
$250,000. That was when his men
were receiving victims in West street.
in Chambers street, in Christopher
street, around Bleecker street and
further uptown All this was done
under the eyes of the police and with
out their objection.
In Ills hour Of extremity he accepts
his fate with a gamblers philosophy.

one OF the pioneers of the green goods

McNally and a friend got $4,000
from visitor at the Plunge" one
night, and with that bought the re-
sort. II has been said that a police
official lent him $4,000.
He wrote the famous so Help Me
God" circular letters. scattered them
broadcast through the country. and
began to gather in the harvest.
About that time he met Jennie Mum
roe, or Nellie Marue. as she preferred
to be called. and the man is said to
have given the woman in ten years
$25O.0O0 worth of jewels. besides
spending as much more on her. They
fitted up an opium den. When the
downfall came Nellie Marue died PEN
niless at Bellevue.
McNally flourished until 1891. He
moved across the river, first to Ho-
boken and then to Jersey City. An
thony Comstock and his men made a
raid upon the headquarters, which
was an entire house in which 40
clerks worked.
After living in Philadelphia, Bridge
port and South Norwalk. he went
abroad for year. He came back and
was induced to go to Chicago. where
he was arrested, and in 1895 was sen.
fenced to three years Imprisonment
at Joliet. He served this. returned to
the world, and found that the men he
had trusted had appropriated his
money to their own use. Since then
he has lived from hand to mouth. get

friended.
1t was impossible to send McNally
to the almshouse. but Magistrate
Whitman sent him to the workhouse
for three months. The man who had
spent fortunes thanked the magis
trate with tears in his eyes for the
kindness.

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because OF its great
er strength than other makes.

The Sexes in America.

America is the field in which will
be harmoniously adjusted the differ.
ences of das Ewig- Weibliche and
the eternal domineering male. Wo-
man is not inferior to man but diff
ferent from him, as Stendhal would
say. Nevertheless, the two sexes
are slowly approaching. The man
of today Is more feminine than his
predecessors; that is, he is more
gentle, civilized while the woman,
casting away Old.fashioned incrust-
ing prejudices, is more masculine 3;
/. e., she is not only more athletic in
her tastes than her grandmother
she is mentally broader and firmer
in her judgments. (Some day she
will be 80 far "evolved" that she
will be charitable to her own sex.
The franker association of the sexes
has proved tonic to the woman, re-
fining to the man. These are school
boy tIuisms, but they will always
stand quotation.-James Huneker,
in the August Everybody's.

Prevalent Thro ughout Egypt

Blindness Prevalent Thro ughout Egypt
The first thing that impresses the
stranger in Cairo is the number of
blind-men, women and children
to be found everywhere, in the shops
and on the streets. Ophthalmia is
very prevalent throughout Egypt.
Because of superstition concerning
"the evil eye," the native mothers
of the middle or lower classes do
not wash the eyes of their babies at
all. Watching the flies buzzing un-
needed around and upon these blind
children, stranger hastens to buy a
fy-whisk. These are for sale every
where, and are quite attractive with
their ornaments of fancy beads and
palm leaf fiber. Blind beggars greet
one at every corner. Even in the
high-class Egyptian families there
are many blind. The lower classes
Of Egyptians are given much to
hasheesh-that is, the lower classes
in the large cities-and, although it
is against the law to sell 1t, one will
have the hasheesh places pointed
out, and the men who smoke the
drug are seen everywhere. They are
distinguished by the peculiar ap-
pearance of their eyes, which will
become red, swollen aud baggy IN

of the skin, which resembles some

Statement of Publishers.

In order to avoid misunderstanding
and confusion, we take this opportu-
nifty to make a statement now with
reference to certain contemplated
changes in our annual club competition
to go into effect next fall.
Although it is the distinct under
standing that the price of The Enqul-
rer to subscribers on clubs is $1.75 per
annum, some clubmakerS, induced by
the hope of winning the larger pre-
miums, have developed a custom or
giving the subscribers a discount or
few cents off the regular price.
We do not understand that this GUS
tom is at all general. We do not un-
derstand that il is practiced by all our
clubmakers, or that those who do
practice it, give the discount off to all
Of their patrons. We do know, how
ever, that there has been such a prac-
less embarrassing.
The trouble comes through the fact
that only those clubmakers who are
working for one of the buggieS and
who have reason to believe they can
win resort to this eXpedient. Others,
working for smaller premiums cannot
afford to give discounts of any kind,
and their clubs are often more or less
hampered as the result.
JuSl Nllol pan VIC W III ciNOPN' VIC ca y
not in a position to say at this time;
but we would like all concerned to
know that it is our purpose to try to
break up this practice before the next
club making competition opens. One
plan that has occurred TO US is to re-
duce the value of the larger premiums
and increase their number; but upon
this we are not definitely decided.
Another thing that we may do is to
take papers that are delivered free in
Yorkville out of the club competition.
There are very few weekly or semi
weekly papers now that attempt to
make free deliveries to the subscribers
i'm the towns in which they are pub
lished. The Enquirer being an eXcep-
tion in this respect. The expense OF
such free delivery is considerable
amounting in the case of The Enqui-
rer to something like Is per cent OF
the cost of the subscriptions.
For long time the larger clubmak-
ers have been able to get a good start
by picking up the local names with but
little trouble to themselves and al
much advantage over competitors
This situation we have decided to cor
rect by adopting a plan which will
prOvide that local subscribers who
would have their papers delivered free
must give their names TO the carriers
otherwise their papers will be deliv-
cred through the pOstOftice.

Letter to Fred Quinn,
Yorkville, S G,

Dear Sir: Take a two story house
and reckon the costs with different
paints; you will be surprised. Say the
house has a total of 3210 square feet.
Divide by 800; you buy IL gallons.
That's the rule; but it never comes
out so.
Buy any other paint than Devoe,
you will have to buy more, up to pos
sibIy % gallons. Paint Devoe, and
you'll have a gallon or two to return.
Here are some experiences.
n r Watkins, Lott Texas, used IL
gallons on his house before; bought
13 gallons Devoe for same house and
had left.
c B Edwards, of Edwards &
Broughton, printers, Raleigh, n c,
used 80 gallons paste paint on his
house; bought 80 gallons Devoe for
same house and had 16 left. Go by
the gallons.

combined would only emphasize the
one point in which every man who
buys life insurance should be interest

policy holder who has been insured In
