The South Carolina Synod has acted justly and sensibly in annulling the de- cision of the Charleston Presbytery in the case of Miss Means. So, at least, it appears to the lay mind. Miss Means is an employs of the Tele- phone Exchange, and is obliged to work on Sundays. For so doing she . was expelled from the Second Presby- terian Church of Columbia, but the Synod, after considering the matter, has ordered the ’ church to restore her to membership. ' ' The question of Sunday work is a complicated one. All good citizens, church members or not, are in favor of preserving the sanctity of one day of the seven as a day of‘ devotion andrest, so far as possible. But it long age be- , came apparent that it is an absolute im- possibility to dispense with all work on Sundays, and the accepted principle of the best theological authorities now is, we believe, that the admissibility or in- admissibility of . Sunday work must hinge upon the motivebehind it. Accordingly, ’ Sunday work under- taken for mere worldly gain is not right _ from a religious pOint of view, whereas work of a necessary and urgent charac- ter or work of charity and mercy is ex- cused and justified. If it is right to go to church, it must be right also to run the street cars so that people may be able to get to church. This makes it necessary for conductors and motormen to work on Sunday. The telegraph, the mail and the telephone have become constant necessities, and there is probably not a minister in Columbia who would hesi- " tate to telephone for a doctor on Sun- day‘lf his wife or child were taken‘sud- denly ill. It is necessary, therefore, that Miss Means should be at her post of duty in the Exchange to receive such messages. The idea that sheis doing wrong or cannot be a good Christian under such _ circumstances will not be indorsed by the Christian community generally in this age of the World. Motive is the main criterion of con- duct, and common sense is a very good thing in religion, as well as in other matters.- C O O""'-— Cheap Coal. The supposed greed of coal and ice dealers has been the subject (if many a jest, but apparently the Bridgeport coal dealers must be left out of thai category of unscrupulous merchants. The fact is that coal in Bridgeport, says the Farmer, while perhaps a little high- er than in former years, may be bought for $1 a ton less than is charged any- where in the state east of Bridgeport. Hartford coal dealers have called atten- tion-to their own philanthropy, in that they have raised the price of coal but 25 cents per ton in response to three raises by the wholesalers, and now sell it at $6.50 per too. The price in Bridgeport is but 85.75 per ton, despite the raise in price by wholesalers, and there is no indication of a further advance during the winter. _Local coal dealers are at present sell- ing on a very narrow margin, but do not feel warranted in putting up the price. Said 9. Bridgeport dealer,_ “We are selling coal at 85.75 per ton, the same price we have charged for months. It should also be borne in mind that Bridgeport is the only town in the. state where coal is not. dumped on the sidewalk unless an additional 25 cents is paid. In Hartford the price is $6.50 dumped and. $6.75 carried in, an even dollar higher than the price charged by Bridgeport dealers. The freight to Hartford is but twenty cents more than to this city, so that the claim of Hart- ford dealers to any special benevolence is all bosh. Besndes that, dealers in other cities have raised the price 25 cents on the strength of the whole- snlers’ raise, while Bridgeport dealers have kept the price the same.” O Sulliva’n Surrenders. Owen Sullivan, the consumptive jail prisoner, who Sunday night escaped from the Bridgeport hospital, to which he had been transferred for treatment, surrendered himself to Deputy Sheriff Scollins in Danbury, Wednesday. Sulli— van belongsin the latter city and the officers correctly concluded that he would make his way there. They as- certained that he was in Danbury but Sullyan managed to elude capture. Realizmg that he would eventually be taken he surrendered. _ Sullivan was sentenced to one year in jail for burglary and had served six monthspf the sentence. He is far ad-. vanced in consumption and his princi-- pal object in escaping was no doubt that he might be near his relatives: In this he has succeeded, as he‘will for the, remainder of his term he confined'in the Danbury jail where his relatives can extend such assistance as he may need.

Various Surmises \‘Vhlch Might Have Arisen Over a Simple Matter. It is not always safe to judge by ap- pearances, for often, as the poet Long- fellow says”: “Things are not What they seem.” Some years ago the writer of this article was fishing from a boat in Mississippi sound opposite Biloxi, when growing tired of a. piece of gum which she had been trying in vain to like, she dropped it into the water. What was her astonishment when within the next half hour she caught a. fish with this identical piece of gum in its mouth. This is a. fish story, but it is absolutely true, says Harper’s Young People, and not so very remark- able either, when one remembers that there were a. half dozen lines hanging from the boat at the time. each hold- ing a- tempting bait, so that the fish who had snapped up the gum would be apt to linger near the hiring snares and be eventually caught. Supposing, though. that some one else had caught this fish and found the gum, he might have hastily concluded that fish of this particular family—it was a. catfish—were addicted to the very vulgar habit of gum chewing, and if he had examined the gum he would- have further reasoned that the fish had migrated from Mexico, as the gum was a resinous sap of a Mexican tree. Going still further, he might have surmised that as the fish obviously could not go on shore for the gum, the gum must go to the fish; hence, the tree either dropped its life fluid from branches overhanging the sea, or sent .out into the water long sappy roots, from which the catfish extracted the gum. All because a. woman thoughtlessly threw a. bit of chewing gum over the side of a. boat. Handkerchiefs Among the Ancients. The Greeks and Romans had no pocket handkerchiefs, but merely a cloth called “sudorium,” to wide per- spiration from the face, which was usually carried in a. fold of the tunic or loosely ' tied about the neck. The Athenian and Roman swells, the men about town, ' inaugurated the fashion of carrying one such “sudorium” in the hand and another in the girdle, but these were never used as we use pocket handkerchiefs. The ancients had a pro- found respect for absolutely Clean noses, but. only children and old per- sons were allowcd to blow their noses in public.

In hfalc Attire for Seven Hays Lashed, With Her Husband and Crew, to the Waterlogged Schoon- er—Once Washed Overboard. NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—-When the United States cruiser, San Francisco reported, about a week ago, its destruction of the lumber~laden, ' water-logged schooner- Drisko off the South Atlantic coast by the novel method of ramming, it told but the sequel of a thrilling tale of hardship in which a woman, and a. bride at that, bore the rigors of storm and destitution that nearly proved fatal to able bodied seamen. A , Sailed \Vith His Bride. It was on Oct. 8 that Capt. R. B. Dris- k0, from Jonesport, Md, taking on a car- go at Charleston, S. C., for Jamaica, planned to take his newly wedded wife on the voya e fora Wedding trip. They sailed that day with a crew of six men. The day was bright and the weather indicationsall that the gallant skipper could have desired for the comfort .of his bride, but when night came it brought rain squalls, which developed into a. storm that made necessary the battening down of hatches and reefing of sails. Blew a Hurricau 8. At midnight there was a hurricane and. the captain hove to under close —reefed spinnaker and mainsail. The wind continued to increase in vio- lence, and at daybreak the high seas threatened to swamp the vessel. She was put about with difficulty and permitted to send under bare poles. . . Domied Her Husband‘s Clothes. Then the captain went below and giving his wife a suit of his own clothes directed her to put them on, knowing that the worst was likely to happen, and that she would be less hampered by wind and water if his fears were realizad. She had hardly donned her strange cos- tume when a. wave struck the ship and threw her around broadside to the sea, which washed over her decks and into her cabin. Lashed \Vitli a. Rope on Deck. ' The captain clambered out on deck car- rying his wife with him and then, tying a rope about her waist, he made it fast to an iron rail which ran along the top of the deck house. A giant wave at that moment threw the vessel on her beum’s end, and before she righted the captain discovered that his wife had disappeared. Saved From Death By the Rope. He had allowed too much slack rope. It was still fast, however, and he was able to drag her back, bruised and exhausted. The sailors managed to climb to the Weather rail and, under the directions of the captain, they cut away the weather rigging. At once all the masts snapped and Wont by the board, the schooner at the same time regaining her equilibrium. All Hands Lashed to the Deck. The cabins were flooded, however, and all hands lashed themselves to the top 'ot the deck house and there they stayed with- out iood and buffeted about by the storm, wuich continued with unabated fury until the fourth day out, when it quieted down. Seven Days of Awful Suffering. Then a sailor, who dived into a cabin, managed to find a can of meat, and some bunting secured in the sail bag, which was improvised into a distress signal. For seven days they waited. On the morning of the 16th a bark was sighted, but soon its disappearing sails showed the castaways that they were not seen. Lights on a. Steamer Sighted. Hope was waning when towards night, - the lights of a. steamship were discovered. It came near enough to see them. It was the Mexican, Captain Alexander, from New Orleans to Liverpool. The shipwrecked people were taken aboard and were hardly more than made comfortable when another storm arose, which made the steamer’s passage a. tem- pestuous one of three weeks. She arrived at Liverpool 11 days overdue. Returned Home On the Etruria. The United States Consul, Col. J. E. Neal, took the rescued in charge and they returned to this country on the Etruria. Before his departure for his home in Maine, Captain Drisko was seen at the South Ferry hotel, and told the story as above related. His wife sat close by and held her face very close to abook she was reading when her ' husband told ,of her experience in man’s attire. Burglars Caught at Full Biver.
