THE BIG WIND STORM,

IT DOKS CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE IN GREENFIELD.

Awnings, Cliimneys, Trees and Roofs Blown Down, and Other Property Greatly Damaged and Destroyed.

Last night, after a three days' rainfall, a terrific wind storm visited our city, which did considerable damage. The wind, which had bten strong all evening, increased to a gale about 10:80 o'clock, and then the trouble set in. The REPUBLICAN'S reporter gathered up the following concerning the damage done by the storm:

At the Columbia Glass Works the terlibie gale seemed to have a special grievance, for it lit down on that plant and carried the entire top completely away, doing a damage to the amount of $500. Supt. Borrey was there and kept the fires going and the boys at work under much difficulty. There were no accidents by falling timbers save to Harry Cowfelt, who ran the wrong .way, *nd in consequence, got aright hard crack on the head by a falling timber. The work of repairing the building was commenced at once. The building was insured against storm.

The S. R. Wells Window Glass house was also damaged to the amount of about $150 by the tin roof being blown off.

LITTLE BLOWS.

At the residence of A. J. Banks, corner Penn. and North streets, the chimney ou the northwest corner was blown down and made a hole in the new sl?.te roof that a baloon could go through. Damage about $100.

The large plate glass in the store of White & Service was broken by the iron frame of the awning being detached from the building. Damage $55.

At Black & Gordon's lumber yard, the storm did much damage, scattering lumber all over the west end of town.

About one-half of the telephone poles on North street are down and the service is badly impaired.

At J. M. Hinchman's carriage reposi tory a large window was broken by a falling timber from the new hotel.

The awning at Tollen's meat market played toss for a time.and then landed square against the window in Hafner's shoe shop, smashing it to smithereens.

Three fine shade trees were blown down in the yard of Eb Tyner on E. Main st. And so it went all over the city, tearing up trees, upsetting outhouses, blowing down grape arbors and creating a panic in almost every household.

Almost all the glass were blown out of the hot house of Jacob Forest. The skylight was blown off the old Wilson building, corner of S^ate and Penn. streets.J

A barn belonging to L. Copeland, in the northwest part of the city, was lilted from its foundation.

The rain which has fallen for "the past three days has done a vast amount of good. 3.48 inches have fallen in such a manner that the thirsty ground^draak it all. In one night last September twice that amount fell. It is not enough however, to do the wells much good, but it will help. There is yet a shortage of rain for this year of 12 90 inches. The annual rainfall average is 89 inches, but in the past three years we are short|nearly one year's fall.

Harry Regula had a window broke out of the show window at his bakery.

Peter Helms, of near McCordsville, is quite a looser on account of ^he heavy storm. He had just completed, a handsome two-story frame house which he expected to move into before long, but ravages of the wind laid it low.

The roof on the barn belonging to Jolm Busli, north-west of the city, to use John's expression, "was slightly misplaced."

Early's Big Double Drug Store. dw

Jane Coomb* As Lady Uedlock. The dramatization of "Bleak House," one of the greatest works of Charles Dickens', was given at the opera house last night. On account of the big storm there was not a large audience present. Jane Coombs and her superb company gave a splendid performance, considering the limited stage facilities. Miss Coombs is a magnificent actress, and as Lady Dedlock won applause, but as Hortense the French woman far surpassed herself in the other character. The other performers sustained their parts well, The entertainment opened by the "window scene between Romeo and Juliet, from Shakespeare, which was also quite good, but anything Shakespearian seems out of place on such a small stage.

As usual last night the boys and a few young men disgraced themselves and annoyed the respectable part of the audience by their cat calls, shuffling of feet, talking, laughing and unnecessary noise. Cigarette smoking was also indulged in. Many people have signified their intention of remaining away from the Hall as long as the management Jtolerate or allow such conduct. Those in charge of the Hall will either'have to stop such miserably, disgraceful conduct or lose the patronage of the better class of citizens. The way to stop it is for a man to take his position'in the audience and note the names of. the roysterers report them with an affldavitȣto prosecutor Charles Downing and it will cost each one about $9.50, or a few days sojourn in jail. It is not necessary even to ask the boys to behave, just take their names as suggested above. Thursday night would be a splendid'time to begin this work

FOOTBALL AS PLAYED TODAY.

Harmful and Demoralising to Students and Leads AH Sports In Fatalities. So far as the brutality of football is concerned there can no longer be two sides to the question, writes Edward Wr Bok in Ladies' Home Journal. The most uncompromising advocates of the game have conceded this fact. If one game of college football differs from another it is purely and simply in its degree of brutality. How disastrous and fatal were these displays last year will be brought home more directly to people when by carefully computed figures it is shown that 46 deaths resulted last year from collegiate games of football within a short period of four months. No record has, of course, been kept of broken ears, lost visions and other disfigurements. As a matter of fact, there is no sport practiced by any civilized nation which can equal a record of 46 deaths in four months.

When we regard the effects upon the player, we meet a condition of things equally serious. Leaving the physical injuries entirely out of the question, the game of football, as it is played today, is an absolute detriment to the mental development of those who participate in it. I have, during the past six months, been at some pains to carefully inquire into the class standings of the men who comprise college football teams, and the results were interesting. In two cases I found that the majority of the football players stood among the lowest in their classes, while in the other two instances this same fact was true of one-half of the members of the teams.

Furthermore, the so called "fame" which is bestowed upon these college football players is directly injurious. Their lives are exploited, their portraits are printed, their every movement is chronicled until the subjects are made to feel a prominence which is at once preposterous and absurd. Before a boy is hardly out of his fitting school he is spoiled with a misplaced importance of himself and a mistaken "fame," the evil effects of which he carries with him through his life.

Nor is the effect on other students a wholesome one. It requires a strongly balanced mind, such as is rarely given to a growing boy, for a young man to pursue a craving for knowledge when all around him he hears nothing but football talk and sees the men next to him become the talk of the country. It strikes for him, at the very outset of his career, a false note.

A Missionaries' Museum.

One of the most interesting museums in Boston has been removed to Hartford —the museum of curiosities collected during 75 years by the missionaries of the American board, and for many years displayed in cabinets in a little dark room in the Congregational House. The collection is to be deposited in the library of the Hartford Theological seminary, and Boston will know it no more.

Many of the objects were worthless— unless from a sentimental point of view —pebbles from Palestine, bits of wood or stone broken from temples and the like—but others were of the greatest rarity, interest and scientific value, and some were unique. There were little idols from India, models illustrating life and manufacture in China or Japan, and savage arms and implements from the south seas. Unlike many similar objects seen nowadays, they were genuine "documents" of savage or barbarous life before it had been touched and influenced by western civilization. To the ethnographer they were invaluable.

Particularly interesting were the idols and curiosities from the Sandwich Islands, all of them obtained by the earlier missionaries. They included the great idol of the Hawaiian war god, one of the most interesting things in its way ever brought to America. The Hawaiian portion of the collection was not sent to Hartford, but, through the influence of Mr. Gorham D. Gilman, the Hawaiian consul in Boston, it lias gone to enrich the Bishop museum of Hawaiian antiquities in Honolulu.—Boston Herald.

Fruit as Medicine.

Why for ages have people eaten apple sauce with their roast goose and sucking pig? Simply because the acids and pectones in the fruit assist in digesting the fat so abundant in this kind of food. For the same reason at the end of a heavy dinner we eat our cooked fruits, and when we want their digestive action even more developed, we have them after dinner in their natural, uncooked state as dessert. In the past ages instinct has taught men to do this today science tells them why they did it, and this same science tells us that fruit should be eaten as an aid to digestion of other foods much more than it is now. Cultivated fruits, such as apples, pears, cherries, strawberries, grapes, etc., contain on analysis very similar proportions of the same ingredients, which are about 1 per cent of malic and other acids and 1 per cent of flesh forming albuminoids, with over 80 per cent of water.

Digestion depends upon the action of pepsin in the stomach upon the food, which is greatly aided by the acids of the stomach. Fats are digested by these acids and the bile from the liver. Now, the acids and the pectones in fruit peculiarly assist the acids of the stomach. Only lately even royalty has been taking lemon juice in tea instead of sugar, and lemon juice has been prescribed largely by physicians to help weak digestion, simply because these, acids exist very abundantly in the lemon.— Popular Science Monthly.

Michael Angelo's Present Occupation. Michael Angelo has passed a satisfactory physical examination for a position in the sewer department.

FAMOUS POLITICAL PHRASE.

IJMd In Different Forms by Lincoln, Theodore Parker and Webster. In a letter headed "Not Lincoln's Own Words," a correspondent points out that the words "government

of

the

people, by the people, for the people," in the famous Gettysburg address were not original with Lincoln. He attempts to further show that they were original with Henry Wilson, and were quoted by Lincoln from a letter written in 1860 by Wilson to certain persons in Boston.

In a speech delivered at the New England antislavery convention, Boston, May 29, 1850, by Theodore Parker, may be found the expression "a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people," the exact language, with the exception of one word, of that ascribed to Wilson and employed by Lincoln. But still further back had the same idea been expressed in substantially the same way by Daniel Webster in one of his most splendid oratorical efforts, whose every phrase was familiar to all patriotic Americans long before Parker uttered his speech or Wilson wrote his letter. In his second speech on Foot's resolution, Jan. 26, 1880, Webster used these words, "The people's government, made for the people, made by the people and answerable to the people."

The phrase discussed belongs no more to Wilson than to Lincoln. The words can no more be said to have been "quoted" by Lincoln from Wilson than from Parker or Webster. Lincoln was familiar with the writings and speeches of Parker. He had probably never seen this particular letter of Wilson's. That his language should be exactly the same as that of the latter was a coincidence, but probably nothing more. The phrase was merely the expression, in the simplest, most direct language, of the glorious yet popular and familiar idea of the constitution and object of cur form of government. The expression cannot be ascribed to any one man. Lincoln does not give the statemeut as a positive declaration—as anew coined phrase intended to add to his laurels as a public speaker, but uses the words as descriptive of our government in uttering the resolve that it "shall not perish from the earth."

That some words of the speech had been said before does not detract from the beauty or grandeur of Lincoln's address as a whole. His speech, which has been declared to bo the greatest in the records of oratory of our own or any other country, was so not because it was the labored and polished effort of a practiced orator, but because of the greatness of the man, as a uian, who uttered it.—Washington Star.

SELLING A MINE.

A Western Man's Great Luck In Disposing of His Property. "It is the easiest thing on earth to sell a mine in London for almost any price, provided you have anything to show an expert," said Major Frank McLaughlin. "There is also aright way and a wrong way to go about it. Some time ago I went to London to negotiate the sale of some mining property. Of course, the first thing I had to do was to let capital know what I was there for. Then, when inquiries commenced, I simply said 'Gentlemen, I have mining property to sell. If you mean business and want to buy, send your expert out to examine the property and make a report on it. You will know then what you are buying.' "A company was organized. The expert examined the property and reported favorably, and a meeting was held to discuss terms. 'Now, major,' said the spokesman, 'we have found that the property may be worth something. What is your price?' 'Two hundred and fifty thousand,' said I. 'That is more than we expected to pay. We expected to pay about 200,000. There is not much difference between 200,000 and 250,000. If you will drop the 50,000 we will take it.' "I expected to get about $100,000 for the property, so with a show of reluctancy I agreed to accept their offer. When the papers were made out, I was surprised to learn that they had been talking about pounds and I about dollars, but I was very careful not to let my surprise leak, and that is the way I got f1,000,000 for the mine. Great people to do business with."—San Francisco Post.

Cocoanuts In Florida.

Quite a number of tropical nuts have recently been introduced into cultivation in this country. Already on the east coast of Florida are growing 250,000 cocoanut trees, 42,000 being in one plantation. It is believed that the first trees of this kind in that state sprouted from nuts brought from Central America and the West Indies by the gulf stream. At Key West and about some of the old forts cocoanuts were planted at an early day, as certain ancient trees now standing bear witness. In 187? a bark freighted with cocoanuts was caught in a storm off the coast of Florida and beached near Lake Worth. Several thousands of the nuts were saved and planted, the satisfactory' growth of the seedlings giving an impetus to cultivation.—New York World.

The Cable Code.

One of the curiosities of the cable code method of sending information is shown in a recent message announcing the loss by fire of a ship at sea. The whole message was conveyed in threo words of Scott's cable code: "Smouldered hurrah hallelujah "Smouldered" stands for "the ship has been destroyed by fire," "hurrah" for "crew saved by boats" and "hallelujah" for"all hands saved—inform wives and sweethearts." —New York Tribune.

It is said that the blind never dream of visible objects, and a mute has been observed when dreaming to oarry on a conversation by means of his fingers or in writing.
