VOL. XVJII. ON INDIANOLA CASE Tillman and Carmack Deliver Speechs in Senate. THE PITCHFORK IS LAID ASIDE South Carolina Senator's Remarks Were Dispassionate, But Contained Warnings—Carmack Scores Roosevelt. The Indianola, Miss., postoffice case occupied the major portion of the time of the senate Tuesday. Senator Tillman spoke for three hours in continuation of his remarks begun Monday on the race question, and was followed by Mr. Carmack, of Tennessee. Mr. Tillman in his speech said that in dealing with Indianola postoffice the president and postmaster general transcended their authority and resorted to methods which were both tyrannical and unconstitutional. He wanted to know if in figuring up the purpose of their new born zeal, "this cold blooded, calculative, advisely taken action" was not prompted by a low motive. He charged that eight hundred thousand negroes are coercing fifty millions of white people in the north to deal with seventeen million white men in the south in the interest of the eight million ignorant negroes in that section. He referred to the cost in lives and money on account of the race problem in this country, and addressing the republican side, called on them to meet him "upon the same plane of patriotism of race pride and of civilization and not to fall into the pitiful cess-pool of partisan politics." He added that the people of the north maye no more use for the negro at close quarters than he had. He cited instances of assaults by negroes on white women and declared that the more the northern people find out about the negro the less use they have for him. The ballot of the negro, he maintained, was a menace to good government and the people of the north are coming to realize that the enfranchisement of him bordered on a crime. Reverting to the president's utterance, that he was unwilling to shut the door of hope and opportunity in the face of a worthy and competent colored man, Mr. Tillman said at first blush there is not a man alive who would not agree with that sentiment, but he inquired if it ever occurred to any one that in opening that door of hope it might not be shut in the face of the white man. He declared that he did not hate the negro and that all negroes are not bad. Only a small percentage are bad, and these, he said, are leading the rest and being patted on the back by politicians. He regarded it as his duty, he said, to his state to stand forever opposed to any idea of political or social equality on the part of the negro with the whites. Continuing, he referred to the adoption of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution. "When you remorselessly stand by that," said he, "and say it is sacred, you force us to face the alternative of a conflict of races." "I beg you, for God's sake," he said, facing the republican side, "not to produce an acute stage of hatred which will bring the two races together with the resolve of the whites to die in order to maintain their supremacy." Mr. Tillman said he did not want to see the African driven to the wall, and he did not want to shut the door of hope in his face, but he could not consent to the dominance of that people over the whites. He then poked fun at Mr. Hanna and read the title of the bill he recently introduced to pension ex-slaves. "Oh, my God!" said he. "Did Mr. Hanna mean that or is it a political dodge?" The effect of the bill was, he declared, to give opportunity to unscrupulous negroes to bambooze and deceive their people by securing subscriptions ostensibly to further the interests of the bill. He concluded by saying that "in proportion as you arouse false hope in the minds of these people, you are only sowing the wind which will flame up into a whirlwind later on." Mr. Tillman was followed by Mr. Carmack, of Tennesssee, who said the action of the president in the Indianola case was not in accordance with reason, justice or the constitution. He said that if the closing of the Indianola postoffice is to be taken as the measure of the strength of the executive and the power of the federal government, then the government at Washington deserves to be despised for its weakness and imbecility. The postoffice belonged, he said, to the United States, and he inquired if a handful of ruffians was more powerful than the government "with its militant president at its head." The Savannah Tribune.

HOLOCAUST IN HOTEL Guests Engulfed in Flames of a Veritable Death Trap. TEN KNOWN TO BE CREMATED Those Who Escaped Death Were Forced to Jump From Windows. Forty-Two. Were Thuà Injured. Fire early Friday morning destroyed the Clifffún hotel, at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, cremated ten of the guests, and caused injuries to forty-two persons, who were scorched or forced to jump to the frozen street from second and third story windows. The loss is $60,000. The dead are: W. A. Mewery, What Cheer, Iowa; E. C. Young, Minneapolis, Minn.; two unidentified men, bodies recovered; five bodies still in debris. Nearly all those injured were Iowa people. While their injuries are severe in many cases, no one was fatally hurt. The fire started at 2:30 o'clock, and at 10 o'clock the smouldering debris furnished so fierce a heat that search for bodies was impossible. The list of dead may prove larger than the number given, but it is hoped that the information which accounts for all but this number is correct. Hotel a Fire Trap. The hotel, a three-story brick veneer structure, is said to have been a veritable fire trap. The flames started in a pile of rubbish in the basement, presumably ignited by defective electric light wires. The night clerk was on the third floor when the cry of fire raised by a bell boy startled him. He took up the cry and in an instant the hallways were choked with frightened guests. A rush was made for the stairways. It was then that the crowd, already collected in the street, heard heartreading cries of anguish and despair, for the fire, feeding ravenously on the tinder-like material of the lower floor, had completely cut off escape. There followed a stampede for the windows, the only means of exit left. The street below was now filled with a crowd scarcely less fright than the despairing ones in the fast burning building. It was like a Dore picture of "Inferno sprung to life" said one spectator in describing the scene. "The flames, looking blood-red from reflection against the snow, lit up the pale, drawn faces of the people in the windows with the glow that was unearthly." Forced to Leap. The victims were literally driven by the flames to jump. Nearly every one of them lingered to the last moment, urged by the people below to wait as long as possible in the hope of assistance. Then a cry wound toil that fire had reached them, or the smoke had made it impossible to breathe, and one after another jumped, some to the street and some, more fortunate, to the roofs of buildings adjoining. In a short space of time the street was filled with men and women bruised, battered, broken-limbed and half-crazed. All were in their night garments. In an hour St. Luke's hospital contained fifteen injured, while many more chiefly those who had escaped with compatatively slight injuries, were being cared for in buildings near the scene of the tragedy. Some who jumped owe their lives to the fact that their fall was broken by telegraph wires which interposed in their downward flight. AGREEMENTS NOT EXECUTED. Caracas Newspapers Say Allies are Ignoring Terms of Protocols. The Caracas papers publish a protest directed to Venezuela, the United States and the European nations, as follows: "In order that the public may know how Germany, Great Britain and Italy execute their agreements, we call attention to the grave fact that up to today, February 20, the ships taken by the three powers have not been delivered to the government of Venezuela, as stipulated in the protocols." DEWEY GETS PRIZE MONEY. But Case of Admiral Sampson and Others is Turned Down. The United States supreme court, Monday, decided that the prize money cases brought by Admiral Dewey in behalf of himself and the officers and men of his fleet on account of the vessels sunk at Manila and afterwards reclaimed in their favor; but the cases of Admiral Sampson, for whose name that of Admiral Taylor was substituted in his own behalf and that of his officers and men on account of the Maria Theresa, sunk at the battle of Santiago, were decided adversely. RALEIGH'S BIG SENSATION. Further Investigation of Haywood-Skinner Tragedy Reveals the Woman in the Case. The saying of the French "that there is a woman in the case" is true of the tragedy which occurred in Raleigh, N. C., Monday, in which Ludlow Skinner was shot and instantly killed by Ernest Haywood. Both parties occupied the highest social position. Mr. Haywood is a promlhent lawyer, whose lateome exceeds that of any other attorney in the city. Mr. Skinner was the son of the Rt. Dr. Thomas E. Skinner, the noted Baptist divine, and at the time of his death was a clerk in the office of Charles E. Johnston, cotton broker. He was a very quiet and unobtrusive gentleman. The dead man was 31 years old, and several years ago he married miss Octavia Winder, daughter of Major John Winder, who at one time was general manager of the Seaboard Air Line. Her elder sister, Miss Gettrude, married William R. Tucker, who died about four years ago. Since that time Mr. Haywood has been paying marked and persistent attention to Mrs. Tucker. The mother in law or Mrs. Tucker is Mrs. Florence P. Tucker, widow of the late Rufus S. Tucker. The entire estate, valued at $500,000, was left to Mrs. Florence Tucker. Her attorney and business manager is Ernest Haywood. Mrs. William R. Tucker lived much of her time with her two children about four miles from the city at Millbrook, on the Seaboard Air Line. It was here that Haywood saw most of Mrs. Tucker. Every one supposed they would marry. It was known that Mrs. Florence P. Tucker was bitterly opposed to the marriage. For several months—perhaps for nearly a year—Mrs. William R. Tucker and her two children have been absent from Raieigh, and it has been currently reported for some time that she and Mr. Haywood were married a year or more ago, and that they have a little girl that was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a short while ago. She is now said to be in a hospital in Philadelphia undergoing treatment. The old negro woman nurse who went away with Mrs. Tucker and her two children returned to Raleigh about three weeks ago and she has confirmed the marriage and the birth of the baby girl, although Mr. Haywood has made no statement. of the relations that exist between him and Mrs. Tucker. A few days ago the wife of Mr. Skinner is reported to have addressed a note to Mr. Haywood insisting that he should announce the marriage of himself and Mrs. Tucker. Mr. Haywood is reported to have considered this note very insulting and to have replied in kind. His attitude in the matter finally culminated in the tragedy. MAIL CLERKS CREMATED. In Collision on Big Four Railroad Both Trains Caught Fire. In a head-on collision Monday between a westbound passenger train and an eastbound freight on the Big Four railroad, east of Borea, Onio, both trains caught fire and four mail clerks were burned to death. The engineers of both trains, an express messenger and two firemen were seriously injured. The trains were running at full speed. Both locomotives were demolished and the track was heaped with debris. GUAM ON THE RISE. Earthquake Disturbances Lift Level of Island Some Six Inches. Naval Governor Schroeder, of the Island of Guam, who has arrived in Honolulu, reports the occurrence of a severe and prolonged series of earthquakes, which have raised the level of the island some six inches. The shocks were accompanied by loud subterranean noises. Union to Pay Damages. In accordance with an arrangement arrived at between the parties to the suit, a London court has awarded the Taff Vale Railroad Company $115,000 damages against the Amalgamated Society of Railroad Servants. SWAYNE NOT IMPEACHED. Proceedings Fall Through Owing to Near Termination of Congress. A Washington special says: The impeachment proceedings proposed against Judge Swayne, of Florida, fell through Tuesday after the memorial of Banker Neal, of Pensacola had received brief consideration by a subcommittee of the judiciary committee of the house. In view of the shortness of the session, the sub-committee decided that it would be impossible to make the investigation of Judge Swayne prayed for in the memorial. COTTON AGAIN KING Rapid Advance in Price of Staple Was Phenomenal. FIFTY MILLIONS TO THE GOOD Is What One Cent a Pound Means to Southern Planters—How Operator Sully Got on the A New York special says: The story of the sensational rise in cotton makes interesting reading. When the drought was reported in some of the southern states in July a well-known Providence operator started on a trip through the south to look over the fields. He had taken the same trip for sixteen years and found the soil very dry and the cotton plant small. In his estimation, the prospecta for a big eron were poor. On his return to New York he told various members of the exchange that the big crop estimates being circulated by a New York authority were not based upon facts, but upon a speculative attitude in the market and a desire to see prices decline. Cotton was selling at 7 12 and 7 14 cents. This operator started buying cotton, and when the price was 8 34 cents his operations began to attract attention on the floor of the New York exchange. At this price a half took place, lasting most of the month of January. The same New York authority came out with a bear Circular and predicted a break of a half cent. It was at the time that the market began to take on the aspect of a battle ground. A Providence operator, D. J. Sully, came into the pit the day after, taking 5,000 and 10,000 bales at a clip, and still the price did not advance. Then came rains in the south that niade it almost impossible to move cotton, and spinners began to get unasy. The dry goods trade in this country began a boom that carried prices for all manufactured goods to the high prices of the season, and spinners began to buy cotton in wholesale fashion. Every bale of good cotton in the south was in demand, and this demand carried prices to a point that left the New York future market the lowest in the country. A 9 cents Mr. Sully came into the pit and took all the cotton offered at that price, buying 25,000 bales. It was then the local exchange took the lead in the most sensational rise in prices in recent years. From 10 to 20 points a day, the market finally became so excited that an advance of a quarter of a cent was scored in a single day last week. Not for years has the market advanced so rapidly and without a reaction. Fair dealing has marked the manipulation of the market through an advance of 1 cent a pound, and has meant an additional return of $50,000,000 to southern planters. CHARGES AGAINST JURIST. Attempt Being Made to Impeach Judge Swayne in Florida. A Washington special says: The judiciary committee of the house Monday morning gave a short preliminary hearing to Attorney A. E. Pace, of the Florida bar on the memorial asking for the impeachment of Federal Judge Charles F. Swayne. Mr. Pace recited the charges against Judge Swayne, which alleges non-residence in Florida, incompetentty and misconduct of office. He laid stress on the charge of non-residence, which the law says is a high misdemeanor in a federal judge's office. After Mr. Pace's recital the charges were referred to a sub-committee. If the judiciary committee decides there is good ground for the charges, a report will be made to the house, which will in turn make formal charges against Judge Swayno before the senate. If the impeachment trial is ordered it will come off before the senate. The sub-committee which now has the matter in charge is composed of Chairman Jenkins, of Wisconsin; Barker, of New Jersey; Overstreet, of Indiana; DeArmond, of Missouri; Clayton, of Alabama. SUFFICIENT PROOF LACKING. United States Supreme Court Decision in Florida Case. The United States supreme court Monday decided the case of James Torrance and others against the state of Florida. The charge was that of discriminating against the negroes in the enforcement of the law by refusing to summon colored jurors in criminal trials against the appellants. The court held that there was no proof of such discrimination and affirmed the decision of the supreme court of Florida which upheld the legality of the proceedings in the trial court. Would Answer Uncle Sam's Call If Occasion Arises. A Washington dispatch says: Military reports from various states show an aggregate of 118,259 commissioned officers and enlisted men organized and 10,583,396 men, on whom the country can call in an emergency, not in any organization. To Prohibit Christian Science. The North Carolina legislative committee on health has unanimously decided to favorably report the bill to prohibit the practice of Christian Science in North Carolina. COURTMARTIAL FOR ENSIGN. Trial Ordered Because of Deadly Explosion on Massachusetts. Secretary Moody has ordered a general court martial to convene at the navy yard, Pensacola, Fla., on or about March 6, for the trial of Ensige Ward K. Worthinman, on the charge of neglect of duty growing out of the explosion in the 8-inch turret of the battle ship Massachusetts, which resulted in the death of nine members on the gun crew. Haywood Employs All Prominent Attorneys in Raleigh for His Defense. Counsel for Ernest Haywood, who killed Ludlow Skinner at Raleigh, now number eight, all of Raleigh, and at least four more of the local bar will probably be employed. It is understood that all counsel for the prosecution will have to be secured from other parts. Only two are secured, but there will be others. INDIAN CHIEF SEES MILES. Red Man Calls at War Department and "Shakes" With His Caper. One of the most unique meetings Washington has witnessed in years occurred at the headquarters of the commanding general of the army in the war department Friday, when Chief Joseph, of the Nez Perces Indians, grasped the hands of the "great white chief" Miles who conducted the campaign which led to his capture. --- There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address F. J.

Samples Mailed Free. A Trial Package of Dr. Blosser's Catarrh Cure Will Be Sent Free to Any Sufferer From Catarrh. To demonstrate the merits of his remedy, Dr. Blosser offers to mall, free of charge, to any one suffering from Catarrh, a three days' trial package of this valuable medicine. If the trial package does not convince you of its curative properties, you will have been at no expense; if it benefits you, you will gladly order a month's treatment at $1.00. It is a harmless, pleasant, vegetable compound, which is smoked in a pipe, the medicated smoke, being inhaled, reaches directly the mucous membranes lining the head, nose, throat and lungs, heals the ulcerated parts, effecting a radical and permanent cure. Mr. Joseph Chabot, Kaycee, Wyo. writes: "I am free from catarrh, owing to your wonderful remedy." Annie E. Young, Camden, N. J., writes: "Am completely cured of catarrh after using your medicine." Mrs. E. M. Howd, Water Valley, Miss., writes: 'Smoking your remedy has entirely cured me.' If you wish to try the remedy and get full particulars, testimonials, etc., write to Dr. Blosser Company, 33 Walton St. Atlanta, Ga.

The Slave Pension Bill. Betow will be fourid excerpts from a few exchanges on the ex- slave, pension bill. They are not against the pensioning of the ex- slaves, but they do not believe that the bill will ever become a Jaw and the introduction and pending of it will cause some rascals to defraud some poor persons under the praten- sion of securing them a pension. ‘This has been done and will contin- ue as long as this bill pends: THE Negro ex-slave who hands out # cent of his hard earned money to graftera and black and white awindlers, upon the promise to get him on the pension list, is a big fool.

Iris to be regretted that Senator Hanna introduced in congress “by request” (or as for that matter with- ont “request” his'bill to pension the ex-slave. One reason why thie course is to be regretted is because the bill will never be seriously con- sidered.

Inan interview published in The St Louis Obronicle, Judge Vaughan virtually acknowledges the bill to be a basis of fraud, and makes some statements with which the negroes of the south shonld be made ac- quaintéd. He says: «Not withatanding the justice of this cause, there are pyople, both white men and negroes, who have ‘not hesitated to practice upon the inexperience of the uneducated ne groes of the south. They have de- ceived and robbed them by cellsct: ing money under the pretense of go- ing to Washington to sid the pas. sage of the bill. Not one dollar o! the monet thus collected has eve been applied forthe parposee for which it was raised.

Tuskegee Conference. | February 2Gth the twelfth annual Tuskegee Negro Conference met in the spacious rooms of the trade building at 10 a. m., on Wednesday. As ‘usual there were visitors from many parts of the country and farm- ers in large numbefs from the sur- rounding counties. . . Because of excessive cold and bad roads many were prevented from coming. Any way by 10a.m, the [hall was crowded and the conference ‘opened by singing “Am I a soldier Of the cross.” Scripture was read by Rev. Wood of Hardway Ala, and prayer was offered by Rev. Rankin of “Brergreen Ala. Dr. Washington made the open- ing address. He epoke in part an follows: We come now to the twelfth session of the Tuskegee Ne- gro Conference. This organization was begun with a few scores.of men and woman ; out of that small be- ginning has grown this great and powerful annual meeting, now na- tional in its character and influence. He said the race should confine it- self to positive aggressive effort rather than negative criti¢iems and recitation of wrongs; that the aim of the conference was to encourage the getting of home, freeing ones self from debt, saving money, making intelligent producers, the payment of taxes, the building of schools, the cultivating of habits of thrift, honesty and virtue and friendship between the races, After his wise words were given, different farmers from different counties who bad actually accumulated some prop- erty orhad a bank account were called upon to tell plainly just how they had managed to, secure their possessions. The object in having these tell how they had managed to encourage and show the man or farmer who has nothing how to get something. For hours, till far into the after- noon we sat there and listened with rapt attention to the stories of sac- rifice and suffering and privation that these men of toil underwent in order to secure homes or lift mort- gages that their wives and children might liye happily. Some lived on corn bread and molasses, somo on potatoes, someon milk and bread; fome began with one pig, others with two chickens, still others with working on shares, wearing home made clothes, some bare-footed and one by swapping a dog for a pig. On the other hand it was extromely encouraging to hear these ssme pat- ties say they now owned and tilled land all the way from 1 to 1,800 acres. Some of theae men own the plantation on which they once work- ad as slaves, one employing 75 la- borers, 27 Italians and 48 colored men. On Friday was the Workers con- ference st which presidents of col- leges and universities were preacnt and told of their work. From Geor- gia, Kentucky, North Oarolina, ‘Texas, Alabama, were presidents con- tributing their words of counsel. Everybody was helped and great enthusiasm will be carried back to their respective fields of work, Mr. Washington and that whole school of industrial workers north and south are getting at the heart of the jrace’s difficulties. We need there schools in much larger number to facilitate in laying the foundation on which to pernianently ground our race.—Thomas B. Lillard. Bolton Street Church. On to-morrow morning Rev. T. M. Williamson, B. D., pastor of the F, A. B. Church, West Broad street; will preach on “The Epitome of the Christian religion.” Sunday School at 2:30 p.m.; communion at 3:30 p. m. At night his subject will be “Repentance and restitution.” You are invited to be present. During next week there will be pentecosta services each night, preparatory to the revival which will immediately follow. The public sre invited to agsist in ths great work of sonl saying. It is expected that aach member will engage heartily in the work, and make this revival very successful. St. Philip’s Dets. Sunday morning services. are be- ing well attended by the members and friends of St Bhilipe. That shows that our people are beginning to improve along that line, and they are appreciating Dr. Newton’s Sun- day morning sermons. Rey. New- ton’s text;Sunday morning last was “The harvest of Sin.” Dr. Now- ton’s discourse was interesting threughout and the large congre: gation that heard him, announce it asoneofthe most instructive ser- mons that they ever heard for o great while it was beneficial both Spiritually and temporally. At 8 p m., the edifices was crowded to its .ut- most capacity, many had to go away on account of not getting seats. Rev. Newton delivered a special sermon to the Grand United Benevolent Society numbering some sixty mem- bers.

Asquozed in our last week’s re- port “One thing éatablishes the gdod of another,” and it is especially true that all important matters have two sides and a it would seem) both ‘sides should be heard from before any judgment can be rendered or proper advice given.

Of course, while it is possible that some formal amalgamation or unanimity of ac- tion may be effected between the two unions upon any given matter of an inter-denominational crusade “per se,” for the amelioration of the condition of our people, but to sup- pose that the Evangelical Ministers Union would so stultify itself by consenting to the proposition for s new organization of “an inter-de- nominations! union,” a compact which already exists, is purely gra- tuitous, expecially now that a “char- ter” has Tenn pe for, to be known as “The Evangelical Bfinis- ters Union of Savannah”—pro bono publico.

It seems strange to say that I had tried several kinds of kidney medicines without doing me any good. I had backache, pain in my bladder and scalding urine, and the sample package sent me stopped it all in a few days, and with the package I am now using from our drug store I expect to be cured permanently. It is wonderful, but sure and certain the medicine does its work. I was in constant misery until I commenced the use of Doan's Kidney Pills."—CHAS. R. COOK, P. O. Box 90, Salem, Washington Co. Ill.

That it is dangerous to intrust a child to a nursemaid who has been given notice was proved in a startling manner when the little boy of M. and Mme. Ricard became suddenly and violently ill. A physician discovered that the child had been given a dose of tincture of iodine and with difficulty saved its life. Meanwhile the nursemaid, who had fled, was arrested, and she confessed that when Mme. Ricard gave her notice to leave she tried to kill the child out of revenge.—Paris Correspondence New York Herald.

Telegraph Facts. Every day that a telegraph operator works at three minutes before 11 there is only one man in the whole country from San Francisco to New York that is privileged to use his key. That man is the operator at Washington. In those three minutes every key is open and all operators wait for three minutes' ticking which tells them the correct time. From that ticking every telegraph company's clock is set. There are at least 20,000 operators at work. Taking three minutes from every one of them equals 60,000 minutes idled away every day. It would take one man 155 years to do the listening of all these men for those few minutes. At the rate of $50 a month, and working for the required number of years, this man would receive $75,000. This is what the companies pay to their men a year for just listening.—Boston Journal. The Sensation. "Doesn't it give you a terrible feeling when you run over a man?" they asked him.

THE PINKHAM CURES ATTRACTING GREAT ATTENTION AMONG THINKING WOMEN. 44 Mrs. Frances Stafford, of 243 E. 114th St., N.Y. City, adds her testimony to the hundreds of thousands on Mrs. Pinkham's files. When Lydia E. Pinkham's Remedies were first introduced skeptics all over the country frowned upon their curative claims, but as year after year has rolled by and the little group of women who had been cured by the new discovery has since grown into a vast army of hundreds of thousands, doubts and skepticisms have been swept away as by a mighty flood, until to-day the great good that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and her other medicines are doing among the women of America is attracting the attention of many of our leading scientists, physicians and thinking people. Merit alone could win such fame; wise, therefore, is the woman who for a cure relies upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. PARCEL HUNTERS. Folk Who Make Money by Finding 'What Others Lose, "That is a parcel hunter," said a floor walker in one of the big stores. He nodded his head toward a woman wedging her way along the crowded aisle, scanning the floor assiduously as she went. "They are an odd class," he explained. "With the advent of the gift buying season, which has already seen it, come a small army of people who made an annual practice of searching the big stores and streets for parcels and money that are dropped by shoppers. Pedestrians also have a hobby of looking for things, and motormen have long followed the practice in the business districts. "You would hardly believe it, but eight out of every hundred women who go shopping lose something in the way of money or valuables before they get home. The average of carelessness in men is about one-half of 1 per cent—presumably on account of the advantages of numerous pockets and the inherent masculine aversion to carrying things in their hands. When you consider the thousands that invade the big stores each day you can realize that hundreds of articles are lost. Some one finds them. "A number of the parcels turn up at the 'lost and found' counters of the various stores, but the vast majority of things dropped are never accounted for. The things picked up range from a kid glove to a well-filled pocketbook. Oftentimes costly packages of silks and furs are found. "The motorman is also often rewarded by profitable finds. He knows by experience that women getting on and off the cars with packages in their hands are more or less agitated. That's when they drop things. At this season of the year, every day at the car barns, you can hear the motorman talk of their finds as they come in from their trips." A talk with a motorman at the Ridge avenue car barn revealed the truth of the floorwalker's assertion: He said: "There are even more things found in the street than on the sidewalk. Money and parcels dropped in the street are likely to remain undisturbed longer than if dropped on the sidewalks. So the motorman has the field practically to himself. The biggest' find I ever made was a pocketbook containing $18. The owner's name was in it, and when I returned it he gave me 50 cents. Another 'time I found a diamond breastpin at Tenth and Arch streets which I sold for $12."—Philadelphia Press. A WATERY WASTE. A three-year-old was, taken to a steamer excursion.
