GALVESTON HORROR GROWS 4711 Cures in 3 Days. 500 and $1.00 Bottles. Livingston's Drug Store, Bull, and Congress. Published by The TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY V. 100. 4X N. GALVESTON HOR Details of Fearful C The Outside NEWS NOT EXAGGERATED gas city On the Contrary, No Pen Can Depict or Language Describe the Awfulness of the Situation-It Is Simply Unparalleled A special of Monday from Houston, Tezas, says: The first reports of the appalling disaster which has stifled the city of Galveston do not seem to have been magnified. Communication was bad with the island city. Monday by boats and reports received indicate that the death list will exceed 1,500, while the property loss cannot be estimated, although it is known it will reach several million dollars. A mass meeting was held in Houston and liberal contributions were made for the immediate relief of the destitute. Governor Sayers appealed to President McKinley for aid. This appeal was met with by a prompt response from the president, who stated that 10,000 teutes and 50,000 rations had been ordered to Galveston. Governor Sayers also addressed an appeal to each municipality in the state, asking for prompt assistance in caring for the sufferers. Telegrams of inquiry and sympathy poured in throughout the day and night from every state in the union, and in almost every instance substantial relief has been offered. Reports from the interior confrm the loss of life and destruction of property, reported in previous dispatches. CORRESPONDENT'S STORY OF DISASTER Richard Spillane, a well known Galveston newspaper man and day correspondent of the Associated Press in that city, who reached Houston-Monday after a terrible experience, gives the following account of the disaster at Galveston: "One of the most awful tragedies of modern times has visited Galveston. The city is in ruins and the dead will number probably 1,000. I am just from the city, having been commissioned by the mayor and citizens' committees to get in touch with the outside world and appeal for help. "Houston was the nearest point at which working telegraph instruments could be found, the wires, as well as nearly all the buildings between here and the gulf of Mexico being wrecked. When T Left Galveston shortly before noon yesterday (Sunday) the people were organizing for the prompt burial of the dead distribution of food and all the necessary work after a period of disaster. The wreck of Galveston was brought about by a tempest so terrible that no words can adequately describe its intensity, and by a flood which turned the city into a raging sea. "The weather bureau records show that the wind attained a velocity of eighty-four miles an hour when the measuring instrument blew away, so it is impossible to tell what was the maximum. The storm began at 2 o'clock Saturday morning. Previous to that a great storm had been raging in the golf and the tide was very high. The wind at first came from the north and was in direct opposition to the force from the golf. While the storm in the golf piled the water up on the beach side of the city, the north wind piled the water from the bay on to the bay part of the city. "About moon it became evident that the city was going to be visited with disaster. Hundreds of residences along the beach front were hurriedly abandoned, the families fleeing to dwellings in higher portions of the city. Every home was opened to the refugees, black and white. The wind was rising constantly and it rained in torrents. By 3 o'clock the waters of the bay and gulf met and by dark the entire city was submerged. The flooding of the electric light plant and the EX-CITY TREASURER SHORT. Exports Finish Examination of Books of City Official of Brunswick, fla. After four weeks of public suspense, during which time the books of Ex-City Treasurer H. H. Harvey at Brunswick, "Ga., have been gone over by expert accountants with the object of discovering alleged discrepancies, the announcement is nqw made that Harvey is short $21,600. Marital Law & Negotiation Information leaks put that the horrors of raidalism and general looting have been started by the vicious and criminal element at Galveston. It is expected that this city will be placed under martial law. gas plant companies' factories left the city in darkness. "To go upon the streets was to court death. The wind was then at ecloic height—roofs, cisterns, portions of buildings, telegraph poles and walls were falling and the noise of the wind and the crashing from the buildings were terrifying in the extreme. "The wind and the waters rose steadily from dark until 1.45 o'clock Sunday morning. During all this time the people of Galveston were like rats in traps. The highest portion of the city was four to five feet under water, white in the great majority of cases the streets were submerged to a depth of ten feet. To leave a house was to drown. To remain was to court death in the wreckage. "Such a night of agony was possibly never equaled by people in modern times. Without apparent reason, the waters suddenly began to subside at 1:45 a.m. Within twenty minutes they had gone down two feet, and before daylight the streets were practically freed of the flood waters. In the meantime the wind had veered to the southeast. Very few, if any, buildings escaped injury. "When the people who had escaped death went out at daylight to view the work of the tempest and the floods they saw the most horrible sights imaginable. "The whole of the beach front for three blocks in from the gulf was stripped of every vestige of habitation, the great bathing establishments, the Olympia and every structure having been either carried out to sea or its ruins piled in pyramid far into the town, according to the vagaries of the tempat. "The bay front from end to end is ruins. Nothing but piling and the wreckage of the great warehouses remain. The shore at Texa City, fourteen miles away, contains enough wreckage to rebuild a city. Eight persons who were swept across the bay during the storm were picked up on day morning." Another account of the disaster says: The most appalling calamity in the history of modern times has befallen Galveston. Everywhere there is death and ruin and desolation. A great commercial city is stricken with misfortune and her people appeal to the outside world for help. Estimates of the loss of life in the city vary from 600 to 1,000. It is thought 2,500 people in the state have lost their lives. Parents mourn their children and children are made orphans by the terrible hurricane which swept all of south Texas Saturday and Saturday night. The damage to business and residence property is beyond computation. The city is almost ruined. The wharf front is entirely gone. Every ocean steamer is strained. The fine steamer Alamo lies upon the top of the Mallory wharf, and a big English cotton-laden steamer was driven ashore at Texas City. Other vessels are ground in different parts of the bay, some hopelessly wrecked. No pen can depict or language adequately describe the awfulness of the situation. It is simply immense, unparalleled, and even those who went through the experience of the storm and survived are so dazed they can hardly realize the enormity of the loss. Debris is everywhere. Electric light and telegraph poles are nearly all prostrated and the streets are littered with timbers, slate, glass and every conceivable character of debris. Starting as soon as the water began to recede the work of rescuing the wounded and dying from the ruins of their homes began. The scenes that were presented begged description. Screaming women, bruised and bleeding, some of them bearing the lifeless forms of children in their arms, men broken and sobbing, bewailing the loss of their wives and children; streets filled with floating rubbish, among which there were many bodies of the victims of the storm constituted part of the scene. In every direction as far as the eye could reach the scene of desolation and destruction continued. NEW PAPER FOR ATLANTA. Will Be An Evening Journal Under Name of "Atlanta Daily News." Within thirty days—probably by October 1st—Atlanta, Ga., will have a new afternoon paper. It will be known as The Atlanta Daily News, and will be run and practically owned by newspaper men, the majority of whom are the present time connected with The Atlanta Journal. This announcement, while of considerable interest in southern journalism, does not come in the nature of a surprise. The plan to provide Atlanta with a new afternoon paper has been on foot for some time. WHEELER IN FLORENCE. Little General Is Given a Rousing Reception By the People of His State. General Joseph Wheeler arrived in Florence, Ala., Tuesday from Chicago, accompanied by his daughters, Misses Julia and Birda, and was met by a committee of prominent citizens. General Wheeler apoke to a large and enthusiastic audience at the courthouse at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, reviewing his services in the Spanish-American war, the Philippine islands and the general condition of trade in the Pacific. He predicted the passage of the Nicaragua canal bill by the senate in December and a large appropriation for the Tennessee river improvements. At night General Wheeler was given an ovation at the Old Synodical college, where several thousand people did honor to the hero of Santiago. The Wheeler Rifles, named after General Wheeler, formed an honorary escort. A life sized oil painting of "Fighting Joe" was draped with an American flag and hung over the speakers' stand. Hon. John B. Weakly, mayor of Florence, made the opening address of welcome and was followed by Hon. Emmet Oneal, United States district attorney under Cleveland, who welcomed General Wheeler back to the eighth district. He paid a flowing and eloquent tribute to his patriotism, assuring him that all Alabama honored their brave statesman and soldier, who had honored not only his state, but the south and the whole country by his service and statesmanship. Judge E. J. Wood gave an informal reception to General Wheeler and daughters at his residence after the public speaking. GHOULS STRIP DEAD BODIES. Horrible Work of Human Fiends Among Ruins of the Unfortunate City of Galveston. A horrible story is told by Dallas, Texas, citizens who returned Tuesday night from Galveston. They declare that negroes and many white persons are hourly committing the most atrocious acts of vandalism. J. N. Griswold, division freight agent of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railroad, who was in that city during the storm and had a narrow escape from death, said: "Ears and fingers bearing diamonds were hacked off with pocket knives and the members placed in the pockets of vandals. The bodies of women who wore fine clothes have been stripped of the last thread and left to fester in the sun. The residences left standing have been broken into and jewelry and silver plate stolen. I saw a negro woman carrying a large basket of silverware that was not hers. "At Texas City I saw an old man, considerably under the influence of liquor. From his pocket there protruded a roll of bills as big as my arm which he claimed to have found on the bay shore. "Upon all hands this horrible work is going on. The offenders are generally negroes, although there are some white men who have demonstrated that they are sufficiently devoid of honesty and manhood to participate in these ghoulish deeds. "As soon as the storm subsided the negroes stole all the liquor they could get, and beastly drunk, proceeded with their campaign of vandalism. Troops are needed at once. If they are not sent without delay, God help the survivors in Galveston." This is confirmed by a dozen men of the highest standing in Dallas. LOUISVILLE IS LIBERAL. City Council Appropriates $10,000 to Aid Texas Flood Suffers. The general council of Louisville, Ky., held a special meeting Tuesday night and unanimously passed a resolution to send $10,000 to Galveston for the relief fund. A voucher for this amount was immediately signed by the mayor and the check forwarded. The general council wanted to be the first municipal body to appropriate money for Galveston, because in 1890 the now stricken Texas city was the first to send money to Louisville to aid the vietnam of the exclune which visited the city in that year, killing seventy-six people and injuring 200. FREE TRAINS WITHDRAWN. Railroads Will Now Instal On Pay From Electoneering Candidates. Railroads operating south of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi have departed from the time-honored campaign year cstom of gratitiously wheeling presidential and vice presidential candidates and their retinues about their territory on electionering expoitions. This year they want money for hauling candidates' special trains and they have agreed to stand out for a fixed rate per train mile. The national committees of the Democratic and Republican parities have been notified of the railroads' action. FIVE THOUSAND DEAD Galveston's Mayor Places Loss of Life at That Appalling Figure. Soldiers On Patrol Duty Are Forced to Shoot Down Many Vandals Engaged In Looting. On Tuesday Mayor Walter O. Jones, of Galveston, estimated the number of dead in the wrecked city at 5,000, and he is conservative. Over 2,300 bodies had already been taken out to sea or buried in trenches. Other hundreds were yet to be taken from the ruins. These bodies were all badly decomposed and were being buried in trenches where found. Others were cremated in the debris when convenient. There was little attempt at identification, and it is safe to say that there will never be a complete list of the dead or the living, for there are many missing—some of whom are dead and some alive. The policie are in charge of the work of burying the dead. There are large bodies of men engaged in this work. They are tearing up the ruins and gatting out the dead. Some of those whose bodies are being taken out were probably only injured when they were first struck down, but there was no getting relief and they perished miserably. Mayor Jones is in supreme control. The remnants of the force of regular soldiers who were stationed at Galveston—and it is a very small remnant—have joined the police in patrolling the city. Several persons have already been shot, it is reported. A soldier of Captain Hasterly's battery, while patrolling the beach Tuesday morning, ordered a man to desist from looting. The fellow drew a weapon and was shot dead. The soldier was attacked by four other men and he killed all of them. He had five cartridge in his rifle and each of them found a victim. Other men have also been shot, but the details are not known, nor can the exact number be ascertained, but it is probable that twenty-five were killed. Some of these were shot for failing to halt when ordered to do so. Others were shot for vandalism. The ruins of the heavier brick buildings have not yet been searched for the dead, and there are a large number there. In the mass of rubbish which marks the site of the Lucas terrace boarding house forty or fifty people were killed outright and their bodies are still in the ruins. The orphan home on the beach is totally demolished. Ninety-two children and eleven nuns were killed there. Some order is being brought out of the chaos. Something like a systematic attempt is being made to clear the debris and remove the dead. Idlers are being pressed into service at the point of the bayonet and made to work, and a military cordon is being drawn tighter and tighter about the place. Every horse and mule that was left in the city is in service and a ray of hope is shooting above the pall of glom that has hovered over Galveston since Sunday morning. Supplies are coming in from Houston, and the first line of communication with the outside world was opened Tuesday via Texas City. Large forces are working on the railroads and in a few days the people of Galveston believe the situation will be greatly improved. Based on reports believed to be accurate, the following statement is probably as near correct as can be arrived at at this time as to loss of lives and property in the state: Galveston, lives.lost, 5,000; property lost, $10,000,000. Houston, lives lost, 2; property lost, $300,000. Alvin, lives lost, 9; property lost, $100,000. Hitchcock, lives lost, 2; property lost, $75,000. Richmond, lives lost, 3; property lost, $75,000. Fort Bend county, lives lost, 19; property lost, $300,000. Wharton, property lost, $40,000. Wharton county, lives lost, $1 property lost, $100,000 Colorado county, property lost, $250,000. AGREEMENT NOT REACHED. Coal Operators and Miners Fail. To Adjust Matters at Their Conference. The coal operators and miners' conference at Knoxville, Tenn., Tuesday, resulted in no agreement. The operators announced they would make no increase over last year's scale. The miners met and agreed to accept a scale providing 11-11 per cent increase in wages, a nine-hour day for men who work by the day and a semi-monthly pay day. This is a compromise position on the original demand for 171 per cent increase, an eight-hour day and semi-monthly pay day. This proposition will go before the operators at another conference.

Shows Great Decrease—Condition of Crop on September 1st Was 68.2. Cotton went up a cent a pound on September contracts Monday, and at the close dropped ten points, leaving a net advance of ninety points, or ninenths of a cent per pound. There had been sharp advances before, and the net rise within a week is 1.54 points, a little over a cent and a half. Thus in six days the cotton crop, still in the hands of the farmer, has increased in value $7 50 per bale, or $67,000,000 on the whole crop. The south is that much richer in six days with the prospect that the increase may reach $100,000,000. The government report issued Monday showed the condition September 1 to be 63.2 against 76 August 1, and 68.5 on September last year. This is lower than the average September condition during the past five years and indicates a yield not greatly exceeding 9,000,000 hales. Liverpool spots Monday were 7½ pence, equal to about fifteen cents in American money, while New York spots were only 10½ cents. Thus it will be seen that the Liverpool estimate of the value of cotton is far above the estimate of New York. Atlanta spots were 10, 10½ against 9½ Saturday. A number of southern cities are binding 11 cents for cotton on the streets. The monthly report of the statistician of the department of agriculture at Washington shows an aggregate condition of cotton on September 1st to have been 68.2 as compared with 70 of August 1st, 1900, 68.5 on September 1st, 1899, 79.8 at the corresponding date in 1898 and 76.0 the mean of September averages of the last ten years. Except in Mississippi, where there is no appreciable change in condition, there has been a decline during August throughout the entire cotton belt. The loss amounts to two points in Oklahoma, three in Alabama and Florida, four in Virginia, six in Texas, seven in Louisiana, eight in Georgia, thirteen in Tennessee, fourteen in South Carolina, sixteen in North Carolina, eighteen in Arkansas, nineteen in Indian Territory and ten in Missouri. As on August 1 a condition below the ten year average is almost everywhere reported, the deficiency being eight points in Louisiana, nine in Georgia, ten in Florida, fourteen in Virginia and Arkansas, seventeen in North Carolina and eighteen in South Carolina and Mississippi. Only in Texas, where the condition is six points above the ten year average, or in Oklahoma, where it corresponds exactly to the average four years for which statistics are available, is the condition other than distinctly or more or less seriously unfavorable as compared with September 1, 1899, present conditions are less favorable in North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee to the extent of 9, 6, 12, 18 and 4 and 12 points respectively, and more favorable in Texas, Arkansas, Indian Territory and Oklahoma to the extent of 16, 3, 19 and 18 points respectively. In Georgia the general condidition on September 1, corresponded as closely as it was possible to estimate it as to what it was on September 10 last year. The condition in different states on September 1st was as follows: Virginia, 73; North Carolina, 64; South Carolina, 60; Georgia, 63; Florida, 71; Alabama, 64; Mississippi, 60; Louisiana, 70; Texas, 77; Arkansas, 65; Tennessee, 64; Missouri, 64; Oklahoma, 18; Indian Territory, 72. England and Germany Remain Firm. A special dispatch from Berlin says that Great Britain and Germany have agreed not to evacuate Pekin until full satisfaction for the recent outrages has been obtained. Alleged Cattle, Thief, Swings To Glory at End of a Trace Chain. J. W. Lanier, of Hares' Mill, four miles south of Sylvester, Ga., escaped from deputy sheriff Sunday night and hanged himself with a trace chain. It is alleged that Lanier and a man named Gauldin stole several head of cattle, which they sold nearby under an assumed name. Lanier was arrested and identified as one of the guilty parties. He confessed, escaped from officers, returned to his home and hanged himself. Gauldin escaped. Washington Officials Have Long Conference Regarding Situation With Minister Wn A Washington special of Fridays say It known that the government has perennial knowledge of the attitude of all the powers regarding the Russian proposal, but it is still awaiting official advices as to some of them. The information concerning those regarding which no official announcement has been received it is stated is practically that which is in possession of the general public and is based on newspaper reports and the opinions of official or gans of the various countries. Minister Wu arrived in Washington from Cape May late Friday afternoon and proceeded directly to the state department. It is understood that he had received an intimation that the department officials, were desirous conferring with him. For nearly an hour the minister was closed behind locked doors with Acting Secretary Hill and Assistant Secretary Adee. None of the parties to the conference were communicative as to the confer- ence, but at its conclusion Dr. Hill paired to the white house with a port- folio well filled with papers. For several hours preceding the minister's visit Acting Secretary Hill and Assistant Secretary Adee had been engaged in short conferences, and it was gathered that the negotiations relative to China were approaching another phase, and that another announcement of some kind was in preparation. When the United states made its response to the Russian note on the 20th ultimo the officials here expressed the belief that about a week's time would be required to determine upon the next step, and at the end of that time it would be definitely known whether or not the troops were to be withdrawn from Pekin. That period of time has now elapsed. The reports from the European charcellories indicate that, officially at least, this important subject is being treated with the greatest deliberation and at least another week, and probably even more time, may be consumed in framing the last of the answers to the Russian note. Meanwhile our government has pretty well satisfied itself as to the attitude toward this last proposition of each and all of the powers interested in the Chinese problem. It may be that this knowledge is regarded as sufficient upon which to base another forward and perhaps, in this case, an independent movement by the United States toward the ultimate withdrawal of the troops and the settlement with China which the government has had in mind since the beginning of the trouble. The consultation with Mr. Wu is believed to have been inspired by a desire to learn something of the personality of Chinese notables whose names have been suggested as proper to constitute the Chinese side of any commission which may be made to arrange a settlement of the difficulties. Mr. Wu is an ardent adherent of Earl Li. It seems to be regarded as highly probable in official circles that when the time arrives for the negotiations for the settlement with China this government will appoint a commission for that purpose rather than place the negotiations in the hands of a single individual. There have been various suggestions as to who might be appointed upon such a commission but it is positively stated that as yet no definite selections have been made. As to the numerical strength of such a commission the general impression seems to be that it would not consist of more than five members, more likely three and possibly of only two. It can be stated upon the highest authority that there will be upon the commission some American of preeminent ability. The Ex-Senator Urges His Hearers to Vote For W. J. Bryan. Ex-Senator Hill's appearance at Herkimer; N. Y., Friday evening occasioned something of a sensation in political circles. He visited the city ostensibly to visit his old friend, ex-Judge Earl, of that place. In the evening the Fort Dayton band serenaded Mr. Hill; and a large crowd of citizens assembled. He was introduced by Judge Earl, and made a speech, the chief feature of which was his iterated declarations in support of Bryan.

With this combination of ability, prudence and common sense, the new conven- tion should render very good ac- count of itself when summoned _to report at the close of the year. The routine business was rapidly yet wise- ly disposed of., The delegation was of very fuir size, and it reflecte upon no other body to suy that it represented the culture, talent and Christian pie- ty of this part of Georgia, There was, during the convention’s sitting, from Savannah and elsewhere, a number of distinguished visitors and cowork- ersin the cause.

Home Weddirg. One of thé most interesting events of the week was the marriage of Rev. G. W. Griffin to Mrs, Louisa Coops on Monday night last, at the bride’s residence, on Huntingdon street, west. The groom is fhe pastoe of the F. B. Baptist church. He has been pas- tor for twelve years, and is held in the highest esteem a his_members and congregation. The bride is also a prominent member of the church and is well loved by all of her friends. ‘The home was artistically decora- ted with vines and flowers. To the strains of a beautful wedding march, played by Mias Meta Boughs, the ridal party entered, the bride Jean- ing-on the arm of her brother, Mr. James H. Hooker, while the groom was escorted by Mrz, E. Emery. They met at the centre of the parlor and marched from thence to the arch which was built for the occasion, and under which the yelning ceremony ae performed by Rey. J.J. Durham, The bride was attired in white mull, en trained. She wore white roses in her hair and carried a bou- quet of lilies of the valley. After the ceremony, refreshments were served. ‘The presents received were many and beantiful. Rev. and Mrs. Griffin left. on the game aught on their bridal tour, ‘They will attend the National Bap- tist Convention in Richmond, Va., and from there they will visit the home of the groom ‘in Edgeville, S. C., and other places, . After October 15th, they will be at home to their friends at their res- idence, Huntingdon street, west. Appropriately Celebrated. On Sunday last the ninth anniver- sary of the Nicolsonboro Baptist Church was celebrated. As usual a large number of friends from the ci- Wy were present. The services at the church were interesting. The ven- erable pastor preached, assisted by TRev. Hosea Maxwell After the morning service, an expression meet- ing was held, ‘and a lasge number present took part in this service, which was indeed interesting. Each speaker commended the members of the church on the great progress that they have made and for their pretty church edifice and becoming surroundings, The members of this church are loyal to their beloved pastor and this is manifested by the great interest that they take in every thing to benefit the church. The usual cordial.welcome was extended to the -visitors, who enjoyed very much the sumptous and palatable dinner. The annual gathering al this chureh-is becoming famous and new interest is being added. to it each year. 7 - Mrs. Rosa Cox; wife of Mr. Laun- dram Cox, formerly of this city, bué now of Jacksonville, Fla, isin the city spending a while with her sie: tars-in-law, on East Gwinnett street, ‘St. Stepken’s Kindergartes and Primary Scheel.

Pretty nearly everybody understands, of course that house rents are very considerably greater in London than they are in provincial towns and that in the metropolls they vary greatly and are very stiff in the regions where society hovers. But a writer in Tit-Bits ventures to think that even few Londoners have much idea of the enormous figures paid for the rentals of fashionable houses in Belgrayia and Mayfair or realize how few square yards of the west end it takes to produce a million sterling in this way. Now, take, to start with, Park lane, that highly fashionable thoroughfare. It is rather staggering to learn that $50,000 a year is really not at all a very extravagant rent to pay for a good house in this quarter. The plain, simple fact of the matter is, however, that you cannot get a decent house here for less than $15,000, and even such a one would only have three or four bedrooms and, generally speaking, would not have greater accommodation than a house at $250 or $300 a year in the suburbs or at half that price in a provincial town. Grosvenor square and Berkeley square are renowned headquarters of society, which pays astonishingly for its residence there. Consider the former first. The whole square comprises fewer than sixty houses, but it is a fact that their combined annual rental is about $750,000. Big as the rentals are, getting a house here is a matter of great difficulty, and seldom is there one to let for long. Nothing can be got for less than $5,000 a year, and from this figure an intending tenant may go up to $30,000 a year. Berkeley square is likewise difficult to get into. It is rather old fashioned and severe, and the average man or woman from the country might not be able to see anything about the houses which would justify a heavy drain being made upon a tenant's pocket. But, all the same, houses here are always at a premium, and you will not get much of a residence for $2,500 a year, nor yet, so far as that goes, is the accommodation very astonishing if $10,000 a year is paid. St. James square is another ultra fashionable quarter which a millionaire might have to wait years to get into if he desired to live there—$15,000 or $20,000 a year is quite a moderate rent for a house so silted—while Norfolk House, where the Duke of Norfolk resides, and such others as Lord Derby's residence, at 33, would easily realize $50,000 a year in rent. Carlton House terrace, where statesmen and embassadors live, also costs its tenants-dearly. At least $20,000 a year must be paid for anything good in this particular neighborhood, and Mr. Aston gave more than $300,000 when he purchased one of the houses in the terrace, formerly occupied by Lord Granville. Yet the ordinary man would remark that the houses are not even semidetached and that outwardly, at all events, they are far from imposing. An Indian Summer Girl. "What has come upon my daughter?" grunted the great chief. "She is like a goose-feather blown by the wind. Out day she smiles upon the love of Foxnall, the soothsayer, and the next she frowns like the thunder cloud. How? Is he not great medicine?" "Yes, Father," replied the willful malden, whose education among the eastern pale-faces had been most complete. "Therefore he should be well shaken before taking." — Catholic Standard and Times. Japan got its first telegraph line in 1809. Today it has 144,570 miles of line in service, with 1,207 offices. Insects In Porlo Rice The mosquitoes of Porto Rico are distinguished by bodies as big as our house fists. During the night they would congregate in the little shelter tents and anuse themselves by singing and making onslaughts on the soldiers, drawing blood every time. In the morning we would see them at the top of the tent, gorged after the banquet. In fact, these buzzards of the insect tribe spilled more American blood than did all the Spaniards in Porto Rico. At first they were very annoying, but after a time we became mosquito-immunes and indifferent to them; or perhaps they ignored us when the climate had reduced us in weight all the way from twenty to fifty pounds apiece. Mosquito netting was early discarded by the men, the atmosphere being too close for its use with any comfort. The ants should not be forgotten in this connection. The large black ones would infest our mess kits by the thousands, and the little red fellows would get between our fingers and bite with a viciousness out of all proportion of their size. Then there are the wasps, which one of the men stirred up one day while knocking down a green cocoanut and which swarmed over the horses and caused them to stampede. Another insect well to avoid is the "jigger" flea, which is fond of burrowing in a person's flesh and laying its eggs under the skin, necessitating surgical attention. The soldiers were not troubled by them, however, as they prefer to devote themselves to persons who go about in bare feet.—New York Mail and Express. The Terms.

A peculiar and interesting source of trouble on long-distance telegraph lines is reported from the Argentine Republic. According to the New York Bun, the country is full of a small variety of spider, which spins a long floating web, and these webs settle on the wires in great quantities. This causes little trouble until a shower or a heavy dew moistens these webs, and then every web becomes the source of an extremely small leak. The effect of thousands of these leaks is quite perceptible, and it is said sometimes almost stops operations. It is reported that, as a last resort, the Government has decided to run an underground cable 150 miles long off the important line from Buenos Ayres to Rosario, although why an overhead table would not answer is not explained. on Chill Cu or Money Relaxed by Your Me An Expensive "Tip" is the one which you cut off and throw away every time that you smoke a Five Cent cigar.
