THAT TROPIOAL ST.M. ve 0harleston a Wide Berth and Has Probably Gone Far Out to Sea. Charleston and South Carolina can reathe a sigh of relief at. the passing f the storm. The first notice of the pproach of thle cylone was received at tihe weather bureau on the first dlay of the month, says the Charleston Sunday News. Every day since then the people have watched for Ithe bul letins telling of the doings of the storm. Many of the summer residents on Sullivan's Island, hearing of the probable visit of, the eyelone, hastily gathered their belongings and came to the city. It was reported that the dtorm would strick here Thurslay night or Friday morning, but now the reports show that it had apssed by. Each morning the weather bureau has been receiving news about the storm, but on Friday morning the telegram did not come and the re ports of conditions southward indi cated that the storm had passed. On Friday evening a telegram came an nouncing that the storm was in the neighborhood of Wilmington, and said that Charleston was out of dan ger. The storm warnings were lower ed as far up as Wilnangton. The reports yesterday morning showed that the lowest barometer reading was at Cape' Hatteras, heing 29.80 at the place. A wind velocity of 18 miles per hour was also reported, but this is rather slow wind for a cyclone. It appears that the storm has taken a noirtheastern course and that it was yesterday off Cape Ilat teras. A captain of one of the Clyde liners that camne into port yesterday morning said that the sea was very rough all the way from Virginia Capes to Frying Pan Shoals, and that an d Cape Hatteras it was decidedly diz agreeahle. The local bn-eau will have na furth er direct reports from the storm since it has passed and is on the way north. The stations alonti the North Carolina and Virginia coast will nlow t ake care of the eyeloie and try to sidetrack the unwelcome visitor. All natuire seems to he s arvrmin fi the passage of the storm and every thing y'esterday looked bright and fair. The predictions for to-day are for fair weather and a slight rise in the temperature. He Had Remembered. Hiram Bobbs was absentminded. He admitted that himself. Still, even he was occassionally surprised by his own failings. One morning he reached his office unaccountable late. "'Dear me!'' he thought. ''Where can I have been?" The answer was not forthcoming. Hiram sat down at his desk and took out his pocket handkerchief. It was tied tightly in a knot. ''Now,'' he exclaimed, ''what was that for? Oh, yes! Marthy told me to get my shoes soled.'' With an air of resignation to the whims of womanhmood he put on his hat closed his desk, and wvent out to the ''soled-while-you-wait'' cobbler's. lie wecnt in and sat down, took off hi.2 shoes, and settled back in a chair to -read his newspaper. ''What is it, Mr. Bobbs?'' inquired the cobbler. ''What? oh, er-er-er-why-oh, yes! I want my shoes soled.'' ''Pardon me, sir,'' said the cobbler, ''but I finished soling them only hal: an hour ago. They can 't be worn out yet, sir." Some Funny Speeches. An Irishman wvho was very ill, when the physician told him that he muns prescribe an emetic for him, said,''In deed, docetor, an emetic will never -d rme any good, for I have taken several and could never keep one of them up. on my stomach.''

Stepping jauntily to the cashier's desk, he asekd if the propri- S etor was about 'I am the proprietor,'' sharply re turned the man reigning over the money drawer. ''Well,'' said our friend, with a confidence inspired by a. hearty meal, I ''I am awfully sorry, but the best I can do is to thank you for a very nice breakfast., as I have not a sol itary cent with which to pay you.' For reply the man behind the cash drawer reacfed under the counter and, producing an army pistol, levelled it at the head of the stranger. The latter calmly surveyed it for several seconds with no attempt to move from its range. His face took on an expres sion of anxiety. Shifting his gaze to the face oif thle ''mant behind the u,'he asked in marked tones o alarm: ''Is that a stomach pump?'' Boston Herald. Bluff Beaten By Bluff. In a Boston secret society it was customary to b)ring up some trivial or embarrassing incident in the career of the candidate as part of the initiation, making it out a very serious matter. JTones was a newcomer, and they could find nothing to jolly him about. The president, after a long speech warning him of the seriousness of the step he was about to take, and how essential it was that his character should be without blemish, in order that the high standard of the society might be maintained, asked if any one had any questions they wished to [ ask the candidate. This being .Jones 's first experience in a secret society. he was v'ery ner -vous, and when a fatke telegram wvas i'ead, purporting to be from a promin ent business man from the town in which Jones had previotusly resided, Isuggesting that his name he held over Sone month for further investigation, e. he was noticeably disturbed. 1Several members took the floor and spoke strongly of the necessity of pro i tecting the society from any question e able candidates, and after a half-hours )suspense, in which it was noticed that -Jones was trying in vain to suppress Shis agitation, he was asked what he had to say relative to the charges that had been made. .He replied in a drawing tone that he e did not have much to say, as the man Iwho had written the telegram had been dead about ten years.
