SWEPT TO DEATH
Chief Officer and I've Hen Of The Stea-
ner Msnus Carried Into Sea.
BY A HUGE TIDAL WAVE
Which Swept the Deck of the Big
Steamship as She Plouged Through
the Ocean OF the Coast Of Florida
on Friday Afternoon OF Last

OH Friday Afternoon OF Las
Week.
The chief officer and two men o

a tremendous wave on the voyage
from New Orleans, completed at New
York, and drowned. The victims are
IA. T. Beesch, chief officer; J. P. Serge

The unusual tragedy occurred Fri
day afternoon of last week on tn'
coast of Florida, but it was not re
ported by Captain John S. Boyce un
til the Momus arrived at New Yori
on Wednesday with her flags at half
mast. e
The great swell, described as one
of tidal wave proportions, swept ovel
the Momus with q, deluge like Niagars
and carried the three men cYerboare
as IL they had been corks. Before the
lifeboat could be lowered the victims
disappeared.
There were twenty-five passengers
aboard the ship and through the cab
in windows many Of them saw the
men carried away.
A gale was blowing and the three
men were working on the .forWaree
part of the deck when, without warn
ing. a tilad wave rose above the yes
sci and crashed thunderously doWf
upon the deck.
Chief Officer Beesch saw Nordbere
rushed across the deck and sprang t
his assistance. Both went over the
side together.
Serge, the boatsweip, was also
caught in the torrent and, impeiiee
by a lurch OF the ship, shot over
board after his companions.
Orders to man the lifeboats were
issued at once and as the. Momus
rolled and pitched the boat was low
cred.
Until darkness set in the little boat
risked the mercy Of the increasing
gale and sea in the hope of recover
ing the bodies Of the doomed men
but without avail. - !,

BEAUTIFUL MILLINERY DISPLAY
At the Local Centers of Fashion,
All Previous Openings Surpassed

As usual, the millinery openings in
town last week excited a great deal
of interest among the fair sex and
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
saw a constant stream of ladies
making the rounds of the local CEN
ters of fashion.
The Kingstree Dry Goods Co.'S mil
linery department, in charge of Miss
Ola Saunders of Baltimore, showed a
particularly stylish and up-to-date
line of fall and winter headwear.
There were so many charming mod
els that any attempt at detailed de-
scription would be loves labor lost
chic turbans, velvet trimmed and a
modified turban style, the effect car
ried out by harmonious blending OF
colors in the trimming. There were
a number of other popular styles,
including the rolled shapes of black
beaver so much in vogue this season.
At Mrs Marcus popular empori-
um were displayed hats for ladies,
misses and girls, all the seasons lat
est styles carefully selected by Mrs
Marcus personally at the Northern
markets. Many of the models here
displayed were imported creations
and bear the unmistakable! Partisan
air Of style and beauty.
The Kennedy Millinery Co-suc-
cessors to Gale & Gale-assisted by
their accomplished Baltimore milli-
ner, had transformed their cozy little
parlor into a veritable bower of
beauty and artistic taste, and vota-
ries of Dame Fashion found here a
display of hats and millinery that
could not fail to please the most
fastidious eye. There were many
varieties of the pretty French bon
net type, the stylish and comfortable
soft felt hats and the lovely Gains
boroughs, with long and sweeping
plumes.
Each season, as our town advances
along other lines. these millinery
openings increase in Importance, so
that now it is the exception rather
than the rule when a lady sends
off" for her hat, when only a few
wears ago it was quite the other
way.
All of the local establishments
were we'll patronized and their pro-
prietors speak enthusiastically of
their openings. Not only the ladies
of the town were in attendance but
there were noted among the crowds
present numbers of interested spec.
tators from all parts of the county.

chair the story began.

city stores had very little clothing
ready made for children, and In the
little country village where ! was born
and lived there was nothing to be had.
and mothers, with all the other work
that had to be done. were obliged TO
cut and make the boys clothes.
81 remember 1t was In the autumn:
your grandfather had gone to the civil
war. He went early In the spring, one
Of the first to enlist In our town. Your
grandmother said one day. I must hnd
something to make little John a suit

"I suppose, Jack, you think that it
would be easy to 50 to the store and
get cloth enough for boys suit. But
already prices were so high that even
the rich had to count the cost, and ev-
cry scrap was used to the best ad-
vantage. After awhile your grand
mother remembered an old coat that
your grandfather had never worn
much. She took 1t carefully to pieces,
ripping all the seams then washed It
all very thoroughly md pressed 1t
smooth with q hot fatiron, and not
till all this had been done could she
cut out the jacket and trousers.

Mother was so startled that 1t was

that 1t was fathers coat that Spot had

that his master must be home again.

are charged for as advertising at
one cent a word. All cards of

are charged for at the rate of one
cent word. 1t would save US a
good deal of trouble and embarrass-
ment if you would just count the
words and send the money along with
