STEAMER LOST OFF DIAMOND SHOALS
Thought To Be American Vessel, but Identity
Not Established.

The Savannah Line received a message at the
local Office at Pier S5, North River yesterday
Charleston, S C, announcing that small Ameri-
can steamer had sunk off the Diamond Shoals
Iightship yesterday forenoon. The message was
from Captain Fisher of the steamer City of Sa-
vanah, who, when his vessel twenty-five
miles south of Cape Lookout sent the information
by wireless telegraph to Charleston.
When the City of Savannah passed the Diamond
Shoals Lightship off Cape Hatteras. the officer in
charge of the light vessel asked that Captain Fisher
report for him the sinking of the steamer. The
commander Of the Diamond Shoals Lishtship was
unable to make out the-name of the steamer

that the steamer reported as having foundered of

self the same as man, that she
was a citizen, an equal factor in
civilization not dependent upon
man and therefore asked for her
equal rights in politics, property,
and the world of work, because
it was for her general good and
for the benefit of society.
Ezra Lewis followed him with
the argument that women would
purify politics and would not
vote as her husband dictated.
Erwin Fisher was next in line
and he argued the injustice done
by depr!v!ng woman Of her
rights. He said the law only
excluded two classes from equal
political rights, j. e. women and
idiots.
Miss Grinder next showed her
ability as a debatee by her strong
arguments in favor of woman
suffrage. in that it would in
crease the intelligent and moral
vote and would therefore be pro-
titable to society. She also
brought out the point that the
present system was taxation
without representation.
The negative was opened by
Miss Loverud, in which she
brought out a strong argument
against woman suffrage in that
she was not physical strong
enough, that she was dependent
upon man. and that equal rights
would destroy the home, and
where tried was not successful.
Gustue Eggen next argued that
woman was not mentally fit, and
natures intention was not that
she should occupy the same
sphere.
Arthur Howg followed with
the thought that woman needed
a different education. in that she
occupied a different sphere, that
history santioned it, and man
was her supporter and protector.
Up to this time every thing
looked br ght and shining for the
affirmative when, 10 and behold!
Attorney Fisher appeared upon
the scene and his wide know

his opponen 8 could stand. He
commented upon the silver

"BEST GIRL" NOW

The best girl as counterpart to the
best man at weddings has arrived in
London. No longer are the BRIDE
groom and his best man to be left in
a position of embarrassed loneliness at
the altar rail- awaiting the arrival Of
the bride. The best girl will stand
on the left side opposite the best man,
and will hold the brides bouquet and
gloves and wait on her generally.
Some brides will no doubt retain
the decorative services of a bevy of
bridesmaids and pages, but Miss
Pickersjill CunEiffe, the inventor of
the best girl intends to dispense with
all other companions.

FRIED CHICKEN.

Washington Times: A disloyal and
irreverent writer in The Columbia Is.
c. State, has precipitated a discus
sion as to the merits of fried chicken,
and has intimated that it's popularity
in that section of the country, which
is supposed to be its native habitat, is
due to the difficulty of, procuring a
"frst-class article of roast beef and
tenderloin steak" This statement has
naturally awakened pain and surprise
in the regions farther north-the re-
gions which have been so frequently
twitted with the charge that they were
not able to produce the proper quality
of fried chicken.
The explanation comes easily and
readily to hand. The culinary art of
frying chicken and making it tasteful,
with all the concomitants which are
supposed to belong to it, does not be-
long either to the north or the south.
1t is in Maryland that 1t has been
brought to the highest degree of per-
fection. AS an evidence of that fact,
the menus Of every state which caters
to the taste of the epicure list chicken
la Maryland among their delicacies,
which is prima facie evidence that
there 1t has been brought to the high
est degree of perfection. AS it comes
on the table the carving has been done
in the kitchen, and that alchaic bar
barism requiring the head of the table
to perform this embarrassing feat in
the sight Of the guests is wisely dis
pensed with.
Even in South Carolina they have
not yet been able to cook fried chicken
as it should be cooked. They can cook
rice. They may well pride themselves
on it. Every grain stands apart in
triumphant isolation. The art has been
handed down for generations. But as
to cooking fried chicken-well, no won
der that they are always waiting for
western beef to come into the market
They know how to cook beef.
The papers of the north and south
need not be distressed over this issue
of fried chicken. Fried chicken is all
that 1t has been touted in song and
story. 1t is popular, after a fashion
| everywhere, but the art has never been
brought to the highest degree of per-
fection except in Maryland, and its
name has become synonym of all that
| Is palatable, that is in the highest de-
gree digestible, and a Joy before, while
and after eaten.

1t is said that hemstitching is going
to be used extensively as a finish for
waists and gowns. This will be well
come news to the woman who likes
the clever effect made by a row of
even, open stitches. The hemstitched
edge will be used chiefly on chiffon
garments.
Save every scrap of trimming, for
even a tiny piece may be exactly the
finish for some garment when you are
in sore need. Save all pieces OF linen
and silk, for most of them may be used
in some way, either as fancy work or
trimming. Have scrap box always
ready for them.

for relaxation-save in few things.
Hot weather is time for keeping cool
and keeping others cool. You cannot
have little cool zephyr playing around
your own placid brow IL you allow your
actions to stir up warm waves in the
| tempers of those about you.
Hot weather tempers are apt to be
| lightly hung and liable to go off at a
| moments notice. With the heat waves
and hot winds there comes a time
| when even the most serene is off guard.
| After all, though, it is better for the
individual who holds self in check,
winter and summer. Consciences are
quite as active in the good old sum-
mer time" as when winter winds make
the blood tingle and cheeks glow.
Make little set of resolutions for
the summer months, Fourth of July
is as good day on which to swear off
as any.
Have regular duties-it does not pay
to let go of everything just because it
is holiday time.
Resolve to keep your temper cool and
serene. Don't pile your work on will
ing shoulders while you play. Perhaps

rate they would not accumulate too
much fat if allowed to rest a little
while you attend to your part of the
household or social duties.
Don't keep people waiting if you
make engagements in hot weather. 1t is
not a soothing thing to make an ap-
pointment and stand sweltering in
some hot store, waiting for dear de-
| linquent, who will come in all cool and
| fresh from the bath which has de-
tained her. and with cool effontry,
wonder why you are so cross. If you
will make appointments force yourself
to keep them punctually and to the
minute, If girl or man or boy fails
to keep appointments it does not pay
to be disagreeable, but 1t does pay
not to make another engagement with
that particular person.
| This being late to keep appointments
is not wholly failing of women, but
| they are the worst offenders. One
woman rather thinks 1t is a joke that
her friends refer to her as "the late
Mrs Jones'" 1t Is not so funny for the
other friends who have wasted good
hours OF busy lives waiting for the
sac happy go lucky lady.
So write on your tablets resolutions
to keep sweet in temper. To do your
best not to irritate those about you. To
keep appointments to the minutt and
to keep cool inside even when the
thermoeter hovers about the nineties!
Why should New Years day monopo-
lie the good resolution habit?
