FREAKS OF A CYCLONE.

UnaotK untablo Thlncrs Douo by tho Iloeent Twister in Kansas.

Mother Killed While Babe In Her Arms It Unharmed —rniiit Blown Off a Bu«n Watch Blown Thrdugli a Cow— Other Queer Incident#.

The awful cyclone that swept over northern Kansas bringing death to 30 people, injuries to imtuy, ami destroying property valued in the aggregate at millions, demonstrated again that the wind bloweth where it listeth and is no respecter of men or conditions. Many stories of the storm's grewsome work, of its fantastic capers and eccentric jier formauces, are now at hand. Mrs. Knotte, living near Scneon, who was blown from her home, was found dead, witli her living babe clasped in her rigid arms. An oak stave was driven clear through a cow’s body. A frame in which a large mirror was set was smashed to splinters, but not a crack or blemish could be discovered on the glass. A sehoolhouse was blown away, leaving the Hoor undisturbed, with the chairs and desks remaining upright in place. The paint on a barn near Irving was rubbed off. Otherwise the burn was uninjured. Three boys in n sehoolhouse at Palmer were blown 50 feet through the air. but were deposited on the ground without injury. The building was wrecked. Entire orchards were entirely uprooted. At Frankfort, it is said, a watch was blown through a cow without stopping ticking. A field was furrowed by the wind ns though it hail been done by a plow. The only jierson in one district who suffered no damage was the only person who carried cyclone insurance. A barrel of lime was lifted up and its contents scattered over fruit trees as perfectly as any horticulturist could have done it. One man had his stable blown into the next township, but his horse, cow. calf and buggy, which had been in the barn, were found iiAl’ ntorningon the ground when*' the barn had formerly stood. Chickens, ducks and geese were entirely stripped of feathers. A farmer was riding a horse and leading four others. Lightning killed him and the four horses he was leading. The horse he was riding was not injured. Every tree in a grove of 200 cottonwoods was twisted off at a distance of six feet from the ground. The house of Mr. and Mrs. .Tones, near Tligelow, was blown away while they were sleeping. They were only slight' ly soratdied. The house of Kobert Sweeney, at Reserve, was blown away. His two boys were in bed together. One was killed, while the other was uninjured. A 12-year-old girl at Preston was blown through a window, but was not injured. The shafts of a buggy were driven entirety t hrough a telegraph pole.

LOSES ITS NOTED SAURIAN. “Oaltor,*' Which Has Olveu 1'lorlcla World-Wide Fame, KUIed. Attacked by a big alligator, Mr. and Mrs. .T. \Y. Dyches, of Leesburg, Fla., would have been torn to pieces but for the coolness displayed by the woman. As it was, Mr. Dyches lost his right arm and one of Mrs. Dyches’ legs was

broken.

The couple were out driving near tofrn when they saw a big alligator in the road. Mr. Dyches attempted to drive by when the latter made a stroke with its tail that smashed the buggy and brought Mr. and Mrs. Dyches to the ground. The alligator then rushed on Mr. Dyches and tore off his right arm. Mrs. Dyches. who had regained her feet, seized a stick and struck the alligator. The saurian again flourished its tail, knocking the woman down and breaking one of her legs. As Mrs. Dyches fell her hand came in contact with a pistol that had dropped from her husband’s pocket. She grasped the weapon and fired at the reptile as it rushed upon her. The bullet struck n vital spot, and the alligator died as it was about to seize the brave woman. Mrs. Dyehes will recover, but it is feared the shook and loss of blood will kill her husband. FATAL EFFECT OF SERUM. Child of a Berlin Ftiynlrian Dies Immediately After Injection. A profound sensation has been caused among medical men of (lermnny and France through the fatal effects attending the administration of the famous unti-diph the retie serum in the case of a child of an eminent Berlin physician. A servant in the physician’s household showing signs of diphtheria, the doctor, to prevent his child from contracting the disease, administered an injection of the serum and the child died in n few minutes. T’nitcd States Commercial Agent Moore at Weimar has made the incident the subject of a special report to the state department, in which, after telling of the various theories put forth by the medical authorites to account for the fatal action of the serum, hedeclaresthatthcchild died from nervous shock,although it had been concluded that the injection of the serum into a heall hy person for prevention is a dangerous practice. Left - Fla nded Animalt. Tt is well known that left-handed ness lias often been observed in animals. According to Vierordt. parrots seize objects with the left paw by preference, or exclusively. The lion strikos with the left paw, and Livingstone stated as his opinion that all animals arc lefthanded. Prof. Jordan has recently verified tiie statement with regard to parrots. He found that this bird makes a readier use of th^ left claw for climbing than the right.

A CORONATION CEREMONY, ’ Crow nil,;; an Fttilofilaii Emperor One Foeqiialetl !u Barlmrlr Kpleuilor. The coronation of the eni|>crors of Ethiopia at Axov.tn, the holy fity of Abyssinia, is a ceremony uneijurded in barbaric splendor ir. all Africa, it eveu touches Die imnginstion of the whit* man, says the Pall Mall Gazette, and arouses his black brother to delirious enthusiasm. The sacred jierson of the emperor, in great pomp, clothed in royal purple silk, with a gold cross in his hand, proceeds, on a horse with trapping* of indescribable richness, to the church, followed by the dignitaries and aristocracy of the empire, also clothed in all the richness and bright colors of flic cast. Arrived Indore the sacred edifice, on descending lie finds many young girls, dressed In white, who prevent his •ulranee by bauds of scarlet ribbon, and who cry: “Whoare you that w ish to enter the Church of Axotim?” “I am your emperor, the negus neghesti (king of kings) of Ethiopia.’’ “No, you arc not our emperot. you arc not the negus neghesti," and three times they lower and raise the ribbon. On the fourth the negus cuts it with his sword, crying: “I am the king of Sion," in the midst of tremendous acclamations. Conducted to the center of the edifice, to tho sacred stone, which Is only stepped overby the emperor, and by him once, the abuna (AbyssluiajL jiontiff) advances amid breath.’css silence, gives miction, consecrates him, ami he takes the solemn oath. Then, to the accompaniment of music, ringing of bells and dancing, he receives the imperial diadem. Theonth runs ns follows: “1 swear to defend Christian truth and religion, to keep the faith of Mark, destroy apostates, and govern Ethiopia and its inhabitants in the holy name of God.” DON’T TURN AND STARE. It I* Well* After All, That Women Lore Pretty Dressing. Two women pass .och oilier in the street of a provincial town; they arc not acquainted, yet it is long odds that otic of them turns around to look after the other—very short odds against both doing so. It is not the gait, says the Nineteenth Century, or the figure,or the hair of tiie stranger that has attracted attention, it is tho dress, and not the jierson within it. The gentle anarchists who are busy organizing the debrutalization of man will, of course, attribute this little failing to the vacuity of the feminine mind by reason of man’s tyrar.ny in excluding women from boards of directors and other intellectual arenas. It may lie conceded that psychology and betterment are more recondite fields than millinery, but this woukl be but a dull world and far uglier than it is, if every woman had a soul above chiffons. Odds grenadine and tarlatan! that were a consummation by no means desirable. No, let nil men who have eyes to see withal or , hearts to lose set great store by the * 1 pains bestowed on pretty dressing; but if one may speak and live, the artshould be studied with subtler tnet than is sometimes seen. It should lie better concealed; it is distressing to see a young woman’s eyes wandering over the dress of her with whom she is talking, for if tiie mind be engaged in taking note of external detail, conversation ceases to be intercourse, and becomes the crackling of thorns under the pot.

BANDIT AS A GUARD.

Effort Ilrlnir Mailo in Nevnre Frank Jiiuivn r. un F.x;iriMji MfOrteiiger. Frank James as a guard on express trains carrying large amounts of money or valuables is one of the, novelties the exjircss j>eo|>le arc now arrangij'g. Negotiations have i»ee:i in jirogicss now for several weeks, but the possibilities are that they w!U lie closed uji within a few days. Tie' effect of James' name, in view if his former prowess in robbing trains himself, is u hat the express comjmnics an 1 aiming after. They do not know, they say, t!\ t he could stoji n determined robber aa more than one of their own messenger ;, but they think the ordinary train robber would hesitate to tackle him. James is willing to accept the position, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat, and guarantee t hat no train In ids charge w ill be robbed except over his dead liody, with but one single provision, and that is that the express jieojile j>ut up n bond of $20,000, this amount to go to his widow in case of Ids death. Tho express peopic arc inclined to yield to this, though there is some opposition. James 1ms been firm in standing out for it, and will not go on the road unless the Ivmd is fixed up to his sat isfaction. Since he became a respectable, law-abiding citizen he 1 as taken very good care of his family, and he docs not projiose to commence doing anything else now. When the negotiations wore first begun be was asked if lie could shoot with both hands. “Well," he replied, “I used to lie that I could, and 1 guess I have not forgotten liow yet.” James has been working steadily for some time, but has never been able to make an exorbitant salary, and for that reason would be willing to take the risk of this venture. As one of ids friend* says; "It is not ns mueh risk n.s he has taken on hundreds of occasions before when out on his raids. The only difference would lie that in this he would have the law on his side.”

OFF FOR HIDDEN' TREASURE.

Two Expeditions Organized for the Search of Lott Wealth. Recently a couple of expeditions have started from San Francisco to unearth two deposits of treasure as rich and mysterious as the lost mines of the Aztecs. One, a jiarty of easterners, has gone to San Miguel island, off Santa Barbara, to find the chests of Spanish doubloons which, according to tradition, W’ere lost there years ago in the wreck of a Spanish bark. The survivors secured their gold and buried it in a cave close to the historic spot where Cabrillo landed and afterward, going to the mainland, were slain by the Indians. The second expedition, which is backed by a hotelkeeper in Stockton, makes Cocos Island, eff the coast of Central America, its objective point. Cocos island wts once the resort of jiirates and on it, the tale goes, some of the buccaneers buried their riches. The Stockton hotelkeeper and his associates have gone to work in a businesslike way. They have secured a concession from the Nicaraguan government to farm the island for a numlier of years and have im]>orted a number of Germans who, if the treasure docs not turn up, will get w hat they can out of the land by growing coffee. So far their search lias been unsuccessful, the directions on the chart which locates the pirates’ hoard having led to nothing.

Effective Cull.

A traveling man put up for the night at the leading hotel in a small town, and before retiringleftcxjfiicit instructions to be called in time for an early train. He was very earnest about the matter, and threatened the clerk with all manner of punishment if that, duty was neglected. Early in the morning the guest was disturbed by a lively tattoo upon the door. “Well?” he demanded? sleepily. “Eve got an imjjortant message for you,” replied the bellboy. The guest was up in an instant, opened the door and received from tho boy a large envelope. He tore open the enveiojYe hastily, and inside found a slip of paper on which was written in large letters: “Why don’t you get up?” He got up. Greater Edinburgh. A scheme is on foot to double the area j of Edinburgh by the annexation of certain rural districts and also the towns 1 of Leith and Portobcllo. It seems that the present area of the city is less than ten square miles, while the population is more than 275,000. The present o/creoge of the city is 6.21(1 and the projioecd rural extensions 6,780 acres. The area j of Leith is 2,044 acres and the area of Portobcllo 257 acres, so that the area of | the extended city would be 14,400 acrea. j

BABY APPARENTLY IN DANGER. Horrific.. Spectator* !>}• Appearing <*n a Fifth-Story Ledge. On the fifth floor of a State street flat building, in Chicago, close to the alley "L," there lives a two-year-old baby. Ordinarily there arc wire screens at the windows, but the other afternoon the screens were taken down. About three o'clock passengers on a north-bound elevated train saw the baby sitting all alone on the fifth-story w indow ledge with liotli feet dangling toward the pavement. In two minutes there were 50 jx'ojile on the walk waiting to sec the baby lose its balance and fall off the ledge. But the baby didn’t fall. For at least three minutes it waved its fists at the flat opposite and said “Aah,” until a man in a black suit rushed across the street and into the flat where the. baby lived. About five minutes later an Italian woman and the man in the black suit appeared at the window behind the baby. The crowd couldn’t hear what tho woman was saying, and the baby was lifted into the room and the window was closed. When tiie man in the black suit came out on the street the crowd had moved on. The woman had been trying to make him understand in Italian that the baby was tied to its perch with a clothesline.

BALLINGTON BOOTH CHEERED. Commander Deprecate* Any Unkind Feeling Toward Old Army. When Commander Ballington Booth the other night in Chicago entered the doorway of the West Madison street armory of the. Volunteers and made his way to the jilatform he met a turaultof cheering, of waving handkerchiefs, of “Praise Gods,” of blaring, dissonant brass, of mighty welcome from a thousand throats. The. tail lender merely bowed his acknowledgments. He looked worn and pule. When he sjHike later it was w ith seeming effort. “Now let everbody say ‘Glory,’ ” said Brigndier Fielding. And everybody did ■ay “glory" w ith such a will thc pillars of the balconies trembled. Maj. Heron led in prayer. “And bless our dear commander. A;nei:." she concluded, and there, was a chcrir; of “Amen*.” Then tiie commander spoke. He is not an orator, but he seemed, nevertheless, t.i hold that, audience in the hollow of his band. He deprecated any feeling of animosity toward the Salvation Army on the part of the Volunteers. Tho growth of the latter had been phenomenal, he said. There were 2d jiosts in Chicago and 25 in New York already. The commander was loudly cheered when he concluded. SUES FOR BODY OF HIS FIANCEE. Remarkable Hearing to Come Ip at West Newton, Pa. A remarkable trial will lie heard in Squire Wilson’s court at West New ton, in a few days. It will probably lie ajipwiled to the common pleas court no matter w hat the decision may be. John Martin was engaged to Miss Hattie Phillips. Tiie day before the wedding the bride, w ho hud tieen ill several days, fell dead whl# decorating a window. Her death was due to hereditary heart disease. Martin has on his farm a graveyard in which is a handsome vault. The lot is noted for its beautiful decorations. Martin asserts that ns the marriage license was issued the girl was virtually his, and he asks the court to mandamus the parents that he may secure jioasession of the body and bury it in his vault.

•Japanese Smoke Tricks. American lovers of t he weed who con “make rings” pride themselves on being “artistic smokers," but they are not to tie comjiaretl with the Japanese jugglers and their famous smoke tricks. Jajinnese artists in that line link rings together, piake crosses and spoked wheels, and some are even said to be able to make a succession of readable letters.

SWIFT PIGEONS. More Tlnui a Mile Mado a Minute In n Kerent Trial. Aided by a southerly wind and a jierfeetly clear sky, the first tost of the ! pigeons wfiich are to represent the first j ('ulcago Homing club in the National i federation races this year was a most | notable success, says the Chicago Chroni iule. The criai was remarkable in more j than one feature. Two hundred and ) cigtty-one LCxls, the largest number which the club has ever liberated born one racing station, made the trip, and of that number evert bird was rejiosing peacefully in Its lofi by one o'clock In the afternoon. The time made by the first birds to arrive home was tho fastest ever made over the course, luiii rejiresonts a sjieeil of more than a mile a minute. '1 lie birds were liberated at. Monec, 42 miles away from the nearest loft, at 7:30 o’clock, and White Wings, owned by L. Versehueren, stepped back in its loft at 8:14*/i|. White Wings was closely followed by nearly half the Hock.uudSO arrivals were reported between 8:15 and >i:17. Inasmuch as every bird spent at least ns much as five minutes in circling before starting on a line for home, the speed shown is materially more than a mile lu each *>0 seconds. As an illustration of how little even the best fancier* nrc able to judg" of tiie merits of their own pets, it. is interesting to note Uiat White Wings had been considered almost worthless. Only a month ago he was flown from bixtyfirst street, a distance of eight miles, to his loft, mid took 1 6 lays to make the journey. That was his first trial, and he was sent, to Mon°e Saturday quite ns much in the hojie that he would lie lost as for any other reason.

• A HOUSEHOLD WORD. Lnillrrnuft Blunticr Which Was Made by a Freshllng Officer, The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times-Herald relates a laughable incident in the career of Mr. Tnrsne.y, of Missouri, who was until lately u member of congress from that state, but was unseated by the house. The occurrence, it should be explained, took place some years ago, when Mr. Tarsney was not so well known as he is at present. It was in the midst of a jiolitical camjiaign. and Mr. Tarsney, who had gone to New York state in the service of his jiarty, was announced to sjicak in a country town. The chairman of the meeting, a local celebrity, was projierly minded to give the gentleman from Missouri a handsome reeejition. ‘‘luidies and gentlemen," he said, “wo have with us to-nlglit one of the greatest statesmen of the great west, an orator famed throughout the Mississippi valley, a gentleman whose name is to you a household word. Permit me to introduce to you Mr.—Mr.—" Here the flow of his eloquence was checked, and leaning toward the orator of the evening, he whispered: “What did you say your name was?” “Tarsney', of Missouri,” whispered the orator. “Fellow-citizens,” resumed the chairman, “it is mv proud jileasure to introduce to you Mr. Larceny, of Missouri."

DOG BURIES A CAT. A Little I'.ycholosical Speculation C'oncernlne the Incident. A dog and a cat, belonging to the same master, were tho best friends in the world, and sjient their time in frolicking together. One day, while playing as usual, the cat died suddenly, falling at the dog’s feet. The latter, at first, did not realize what had hajjpened, but continued his play, jiulling. pushing and caressing his companion, but with evident astouishment nt her inertness. After some time he ajijx-ared to understand the situation, and his grief found vent in jirolonged howls. Presently ho was seized with the idea of burying the cat. He jnilled her into the garden, where he soon dug a hole with his paws, and put in the body of his former companion. He then refilled the hole with dirt, and, stretching himself out on the grave, resumed his mournful howling. The idea of burying the cat was extraordinary. Whence came the thoughtfulness? Could it be imitation, or, which is a better explanation, did the dog have a vague idea of concealing the event which might be imputed to him? But then it would seem unreasonable for him to call attention to the fact by installing himself on the grave and howling. However, even human criminals are sometimes equally inconsistent. It is difficult to form an exact idea of what gave rise to the dog’s conduct in this case.

MARVELOUS CHRONOMETER. It I* the Must Accurate Inutrument I>e vised by Man. A chronometer is the most accurate instrument devised by man. Tho greater jxirt of the chronometer’s mechanism resembles that of the common watch, but is constructed with every possible j'rovision to insure accuracy, and so perfect Ls the instrument that even as far Imck ns^ 1720 Mr. Harrison produced a chronometer which did not vary a second in ten years. Everything has been done in the manufacture of this marvelous jiiece of mechanism to avoid error that human ingenuity can devise. Perhajis the most wonderful feature of the chronometer is the compensation balance, a beautiful contrivance for counteracting tiie effect of changes of temjicrnturc, which, by causing an ordinary balance to expand and contract, bring about variation of time. So beautifully is the balance maintained that a ship may pass from the torrid zone to the neighborhood of the jjole itself, and the chronometer will not vary a second.

Nerves are weak when they are improperly and insufficiently nourished. Pure blood is their proper food, and pure blood comes by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which is thus the greatest and best nerve tonic. It also builds up the whole sys* tem. Hood’s Pills are the favorite family cathartic, easy to take, easy to operate. Nothing is what it is cracked up to be except ice. Indigestion is often taken for consumption. The word consumption means wasting away, and dyspeptics often waste away as badly as consumptives. The reason people waste away is because either they don’t get enough to eat, or they don’t digest what they do eat. If the latter is your trouble, take Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will help you to digest your food and stop your loss of flesh. Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from herbs, barks and the juices of fruit, by the well-known Shakers at Mount Lebanon. It possesses great tonic and digestive powers. Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many supposed consumptives (who were really dyspeptics , by simply helping their stomachs to digest their food, thus giving them nourishment and new strength.

M'Kinley Stuff. In hi- speech of acceptance Major McKinley dealt in more -hisl) than can be allowed a candidate even on an occasion ot (hat kind. In the liirht of the experience of the Ameriea'h jicoplc with his taiilf law his until lie a h ( ,ut the revival of tiie high tariff'jiolicy to jiromotc American industry and raise American wages was had enough. But a little worse was his talk about going back to KcKinlevism to secure enough revenue to defray the exjien-cs of tiie Government and maintain its credit. Let us sec how succes-ful (lie McKinley tariff law was in raising sufficient revenue for governmental expenditures. Mr. Cleveland went out of office with a treasury surjilus of .fSH.OOO.OJ0, an animal surjilus of .i!l(Hi,(8)(i,(KK( and an excess of :?ys.000,00u in the gold reserve, gjfDuring the Harrison-MeKiidey regime all of thi> disappeared and during the last four months of the Harrison administration, under tiie operation of the McKinley act, tho public exjicnditures exceeded the receipt- j : .’i,810,.'ii!l.
