They were employed in the construction of tho new water works, in-take tunnel, "being engaged in bricking una shaft, a thousand feet from the whore. The hurricane swept aivy the frail structure which had l)cen built upon tho top of the cut to shelter the men and dashed them into the seething lake. Through the heroic efforts of the life-saving crow James 3Ill!er was saved, lie s the only one of the fifteen workmen who escaped with his life, lie is lying at the Emer gency hospital, too weak to tell his awiul story. The work waVin clfarge of ehailer A Selinaiglon, Chicago contractors, whose loss will be about tlO.000. Worl: the tunnel will be delayed for several months. A terrible sea linn been raging sine Wednesday morning. As night npproached the swell increased, and to ward 11 o'clock thmenbecomc so f urloua that the shed bullfc on tho crib began to tremble. Toward 12 o'clock the timber supporting the house gave way -and the planks began to wash ashore. At -i o'clock yesterday morning the last rafter of the shed fell from the top of the crib, leaving the men at the mercy of the waves. At 0 o'clock Capt. Peterson and thu life-saving- crew arrived at the waterworks. The sen was running high, waves fifteen and twenty feet high were washing over the piers and tho crib. lie said it was impossible to reach the crib with his lifeboat. If a (tig could bo obtained there might be airae hope of landing. The Starke was secured and the dangerous trip begun. The tup cleared the harbor, but was obliged to turn back, as she could not be controled in tho raging sea then running. When the news came that the crib -souUl not he reached great excitement prevailed. Relatives of the missing men volunteered to attempt the trip if a boat could be secured. There was no boat to be had, however. An attempt to reach the crib in a small boat would "have resulted in sure death for its occupants. At 9 o'clock about 500 people had asambled on the shore. The scenes were the mO'Jt pathetic witnessed in this city since the bewail house fire. Wives and children of the victims patrold the shore for the bodies of their loved ones. No bodies were, however, washed up. At 9:30 the beach was crowded with weeping women. Some were wives, some were sisters. Children were mourning for their fathers, wives for their husband. At 10 o'clock every hopa for the safety of the men had vanished, when suddenly a figure was seen creeping out of the fehafL Then came another. In a few moments six men were on the crib -linging to the engine, which is still intact With the aid of a powerful field glass the movements of the men were plainly discerned. The men must have suffered fearfully from the cold, as their actions signified. They huddled together closely and tried hard to warm themselves. They remained on the crib about fifteen minutes, when one by one they disappeared. The disappearance did not worry the spectators, who now thought that the men were ull safe. It was thought that the men on the crib had gone back into -the haft, where it was supposed their comrades were in safe refuge. The news that the men had been seen cheered the women, who now had hopes of the safety of their husbands. The sea became calmer, and Capt Peterson of the life-saving station notified the officers at the pumping station that another attempt to reach the crib would be made. All 11 o'clock the tug Welcome towing it lifeboat steamed out of the harbor and headed to the northward. At 11M!J the crib was reached and Inger Olsen, one of thesurfmen, landed. All eyes were now turned seaward. Olsen worked about for fifteen minutes and then dove into the water Everybody on sltore knew what the man's actions mean t There was no longer any doubt that the men were lost and that some of them had died while the helpless spectators on shore were looking on. When Olson was drawn back to tho boat it was seen that the helpless form of a inah was strapped to his back. It was .lames Miller, tho pnly survivor, who was half dead from cold and exposure. The tug and the lifeboat returned to the harbor with difficulty, and Miller was taken to the emergency hospital. Following is the list of the dead: Ames Mcltride, engineer, Chicago. Michael Dwyer. fireman, Milwaukee. Walliam Pruesenerj fireman, Chicago. t&eo. Urcgg, lock-tender, Milwaukee. .'lames Murphy, miner, Milwaukee. Joseph Pezol, miner, Milwaukee. Oustav.

John Donovan, miner, Chicago. iKMwnrd Cambrian (colored),' steward, thicago. The house on tho crib was a flimsy affair, constructed on the plan of tho ordinary house on shore. It was built for the purpose of providing sleeping quarters for tho men. It was argued by the contractors that1 in constructing the tunnel from tho lake end there ivould be days at a Mino in tho Atormy weather Incident to iprlng that It would bo impossible for tho men to leave the crib - at the conclusion of their day's worn, and In view of this arrangements were raado for boarding thetu at the scene of their labors. The top of t,' ,rlb was about four feat ahovc'tho level of the Uikw.

It folio weil almost in the tracks of Its predecessor. Over forty persons wcro killed and nearly 200 moro or less Injured. The? figures may bo Increased when all of the stricken districts are heard from. Tho destruction to property will nmqunt to hundreds of thousands of dollars. En tire neighborhoods have been literally swept oil tho face of the earth. Tho tornado's p.ith was through a vast pine forest, broken here and there by farms. Hugo trees were uprooted and carried for the distance of a mile. Xcar the town of Pachuta lived tho family of William Harten, consisting of himself, wife and three children. Their bodies, except that of the youngest child, wero picked up over a mllo away, mangled and entirely nude. Their brains had been dashed out. The child had a miraculous escape. It was found a half mile from Its homo early In tho morning, uninjured, but pltcously crying for its mother. William Fisher lived near tho station with bis mother, wife and five children. They wero blown away, and searching parties have been out all day, but none of their bodies have been recovered. A child of Sim MeGowan was found dead in a tree, a mile from its home. Four negroes wore killed outright and a family of nine negroes perished. The country stricken is strewn for miles with debris, and along the pathway of the tornado are found all kinds of household goods, dead cattle and poultry. The xncture is indescribably a piteous one. Happy homes swept away and dashed to pieces as if they were cockle-shells; children crying for their parents, and fathers and mothers searching among the huge piles of debris for the missing ones. Such is the scene. The telegraph wires were snapped in twain as though they were pipe-stems, and the poles lifted up and carried through the country at frightful velocity. Tho whole country is in mourning. The ministers and physi cians are at work. Every messenger from the remote districts coming in brings borrowing tales of suffering and death. Tho wind is still high, aud, as each cloud has appeared the people would look frightened, huddle to gether and pray. A SPRING SNOW STORM. A Sarloti Vliltatlnn in tho "nrth went.

The greatest fall of snow in the same num ber of hours in the history of the sicrnal service fell in Minnesota beginning at 9 o'clock Wednesday night and ending at S o clock last evening. In the twen ty-three hours there was a fall of thirty inches at St. Cloud, twenty-six inches at Sleepy Eye. and sixteen inches at St. Paul. At 7 o'clock yesterday morning the street railwny service at St. Paul and Minneapolis was in a state of almost complete paralysis, but by hard work a portion of the trains were got to work and at night the service hnd been pretty generally resumed, ex cept on the Interurban line, which will not be able to run all Its trains before some time to-daV. Steam raiLway trains wcro badly de moralized, and especially in the northern part of the state. Great Northern trams due here from the north are from nine to fifteen hours late. A trr.I.i on the Omaha is stalled with no chance to get out until the storm abates. On nearly every road entering St Paul there Is delay. The snow is very wet, anil if It disappears in the next fortyeight hours, as seems almost certain, the flood which will result will be of such proportions that the damage will be incalculable. The Crow river at Jhtltalo overflowed its banks last night, and many bridges are in danger.

CARL.bLE IN THE TREASURY.

Boutin 1'rliirlpli-a Applied tu National l'lii:itut'ii. Tho secretary of tho treasury, hi tho brief period for which he has had control of the department, has conducted it in a manner that 1ms distinctly strengthened public confidence as to his financial policy, while- his general administration has been marked by a high degree of intelligence, sound judgment and practical capacity. lie entered upon his task with peculiar difficulties left by the late administration, the chief of which was a general uneasiness in the public mind created by the varied and confused talk constantly issuing from the ollkials of the department, to which It mpst be said that tho late sec retary contributed his share. Iiieso utterances gave the Impression, on tho ono hand, that thu department ofiicers felt themselves In a trying and possibly a serious Situation, and, on tho other, were quite at sea as to how it should be dealt with. To thia Mr. Carlisle has put a stop. He is known to have u clear idea of his responsibilities to tho public arising out of the unsound condition of the currency laws; but he recognizes no responsibility for tho effect of changng conditions in the money market, does not worry about them, does not talk, especially in public, of them, but quietly pursues his own way, keeping tho requirements of tho treasury and those alone in mind. Ho has, of course, becu fortunate in that the demand for currency in the west has brought gold Into tho treasury, whilo tho higher rates for money here have cheeked the export of gold, but ho is to be credited with the quiet, sensible and reassuring spirit in which he has met the situation, for that has gone far to help on the restoration of confidence. In the matter of appointments and the maungeuient of the department fcrviee It is not unfair to Mr. Carlisle to say that he has shown a clearer understanding of the principles which Mr. Cleveland represents and a firmer adherence to them than might have been expected of him. He was the first, and so far ho is the only, head of department to cause the record of all applications for appoint meut to be opened to the public, and that is a measure of great importance, and one that might well be adopted throughout all branches of the executive departments. The appointments made under him have been of a high character and some of them have shown a conspicuous devotion to purely public interests and independence of partlsau claims. His prompt and firm announcement that the lighthouse and life saving services should be kept entirely free of politics and that those employed in them should be judged entirely by their merits was an impressive lesson in sound business administration. The plan he is clearly pursuing, gradually and carefully to weed out unnecessary or unfit employes, to cut off extravagant expenditures and to hold the various branches of the service to a strict business ac countability is in the same line. We gave an instance of it recently in the information furnished by the treasury department as to the "allowances" made in connection with the Behring sea arbitration. It is particularly fortunate that we have the evidence which we possess of 1 the conservative aud practical administration of the treasury department, be cause it indicates that Secretary Carlisle knows how to organize his work so as to leave him free for theproperstudy and consideration of the more important duties that ho will have to perform. These will bo complex and difficult The forces that tend to embarrass and threaten the treasury in tho maintenance of gold payments have been checked, but they have not been destroyed, and cannot be by any executive action. Later Mr. Carlisle will have to deal with them. The tariff question, both as to the effect of changes upon the revenue and as to the safe and thorough application of the principles by the people, is one as to which the guidance of the secretary of the treasury will be at once necessary and valuable. Mr. Carlisle will be able to meet tho requirements of his high post in these regards much more satisfactorily to himself and with greater advantage to the administration, the democratic party, and the country, to the extent that he succeeds in applying business principles to the organization and conduct of his office. X. Y. Times. THE SPRING ELECTIONS. Public Opinion Still In Favor or tho Democratic l'arty. On the whole, tho democrats have done well in the spring elections. Chicago elected a democratic mayor in spite of the formidable revolt in the party against tho nominee. In Cincinnati and other Ohio towns the democrats divided the offices with their opponents, and got a fair share. In St. Louis the republicans got all the offices but one, and this is about the only victory of which they have a right to boast. Rhode Island has given a democratic plurality for governor, ajid has elected two democratic congressmen, both of whom were In a minority at tho November election. These results aro all the more significant when wo compare them with tho April elections four years ago. The republicans had then just succeeded in displacing the democrats, who had had control of the executive branch of tho federal government for four years. The distribution of patronage was in active progress then, as now, only republicans were taking tho places of democrats, Instead of democrats succeeding republicans. The spring elections of 1SM showed a remarkable revoltngainst tho party that had just succeeded to power. Chicago, which two years before had elected a republican mayor by 20,000 majority, chose a democrat by 12,000. Cincinnati, which had given Harrison a big majority, divided the offices. St Louis went democratic, and a majority of the town elections In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa showed democratic gaius. lfhodc Island, which had given Harrison l,4:!ö plurality In November, 1888, gve a democratic plurality of 4,419. It is true that the conditions of Mittrage had just been changed In that täte, and a number of new voters ad-

uiitted, but the republican vote, which had been 20,708 in April, 18SS, fell off

to 10,870 in April, 1SS0, while there was a large Increase in the democratic vote. All these things, taken together, were construed by democrats to ineun that the people wero not well satisfied with the new administration. The re publican press tried to ridlculo this interpretation, but mark what followed. Ohio elected a democratic governor in the November following. Indiana, which went republican In has been carried by the democrats every year since. The same may be said of Illinois. Iowa elected a democratic g vernor In 185W, and reelected him in ll. The symptoms of dissatisfaction were, therefore, correctly interpreted in the spring of ISS9, by the democratic press, inasmuch as subsequent events fully supported what It then said. The elections of this spring are significant to this extent, that they fail to 6how any marked change in public opinion since the November election. The democratic party retains the confidence of the masses of the people, which is a good deal more than could be truly said of the republican party four years ago. Louisville CourierJournal. THE RIGHT MAN. Cleveland's Chnlre for Commissioner of reunion. President Cleveland wisely took his time in selecting the man whom he would name as commissioner of pen sions. Tho abuses which had prevailed in the oftlee, Its conversion into a political bureau 'aud the lavish use of the public moneys for the promotion of partisan purposes, all demanded the selection of a commissioner whose abilities and character would insure against a continuance of these evils. The president canvassed the situation and at length found the man for the emergency in Judge William Lochren, of Minneapolis. No ono could enter upon the duties of the ofiice with higher indorsements, or with a record calculated to inspire greater public confidence. The republican legislature of his own state unanimously declared in his favor ami his political enemies have only good words for him. He has never been an ofilccsecker; and the honors he has enjoyed have all been a voluntary recognition of his worth by the people who were in a position best to judge. In the fact that Judge Lochren was a brave and gallant volunteer soldier thi veterans of the war have the assurance of a sincere and sympathetic friend at the head of this department. They are also insured, as is the entire citizenship of the country, that he is without sympathy for the frauds and "coffee coolers" who have falsified their claims against a generous government and are drawing upon its revenues without the shadow of right to justify their shameless procedure. It is assured that during the administration of Judge Lochren the pension rolls will be disgraced by no more unworthy names, and that all possible will be done to give the deserving veterans the well-earned distinction of being upon a roll which is one of honor from beginning to end. Tho operations of the otlice will be confined to its legitimate functions and the public moneys will not be squandered with a view to the advancement of party interests. As a soldie- and a citizen, the record of Judge Lochren is one to inspire perfect confidence throughout the entire "country. It is true that a man of greater political fame might be named as the commissioner of pensions; but the president, like the people, wanted to best meet the demands of the public service, and to this end every other consideration was very properly subordinated. Tho condition of the department called for a man equipped as is Judge Lochren and the president simply waited until the man was found. Detroit Free Press, CONTEMPORARY COMMENT.

Detroit Free Press. , Maj ah McKinley docs not know what thu democrats will do now that they have full swing. It was to be expected that the major would not know as much since his parachute collapsed last November as he did before he look that terrific tumble. In saying, however, that "there Is no longer any excuse for pretense; no longer any room for hypocrisy," he spoke wisely and knowingly. Pretense and hypocrisy also got the g. b. last fall. St Paul Globe. A republican paper which has made its special mission the defense of pension extravagance against every criticism or attack hangs its harp ot one string upon the willows with the dolorous wail that "pension commissioners for the last ten years have been considered successful according to tho number of certificates they could issue In a given time, but things have changed." There arc times of deep emotion, dearly beloved, when words arc entirely out of place. Let ns step softly and steal away in sflcncu, leaving the grief-stricken alone with their rrow.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

International I.enon for April 30, 1H WUiloia't WarnniB l'rov. l:'J0-33. Ooi.I)i:n Text. See that ye rentM uoi Ilia itiat KtKMkcta. Hen. i: ss. Pltovi:mw. A proverb is a short pithy sentence often roin'ated, express inga well-known truth or common fact ascertained by experience or observa tion. Tho Hebrew term for proverb, Mashal, denotes properly a representa tion, a statement not relating solely to a single fact, but standing for or repre senting other similar facts. It means a comparison, and It is highly probable that all proverbial sayings wero at first literally comparisons. Dr. Oort conjectures that some of our proverbs were originally current among the people as riddles. Such, for instance, as; "What is sweet as honey?" Ans. "Pleasant discourse, for it Is sweet to the soul, and a medicine to the bones" (1C:24); "What is worsu than meeting a bear?" Ans. "Meeting a fool in a lit of folly" (17:12). A proverb is a largo amount of wisdom wrapped up in the fewest wonls. It is a fortune in a single diamond. The genius, wit, and spirit of a nation are discovered in its proverbs. They are tho salt-pits of a na tion; treasured preservatives against corruption. The wit of one the wis dom of many. The Spaniards, In whose language they abound, call them "Little Gospels." Thk Hook or Pnovicnns. Its Form. The Rook of Proverbs is written in poetical form. Hut there is quite a variety In tho style. The Introduction (chaps. 1-9), tho Praise of Wisdom, is written in the parallelism which distinguishes Hebrew poetry, but is not bo much proverbial as lyric, or didactic poem, rising to a more spiritual height than tho other portions. The proverbs of the next section (chaps. 10-22) are, with a single exception, in the form of a distich, or an epigram of two clauses, "the second answering or otherwise completing the thought of the first." Often they aro the two parts of a comparison. This portion is often called an Anthology, i. e., a garland of flowers, like the Greek anthology, a collection of ancient Greek epigrams. Tho Roriesof proverbs In l.:S to 10:11 is especially characterized by its use of the name Jehovah (Lord in the old version). A series of five groups of Numerical Proverbs Is found in 30:1.V31. The Praise of a Virtuous Woman, 31:1031, is an Alphabetical Acrostic Its CiiARACrnit. The Rook of Proverbs belongs to what modern critics call the wisdoin literature, including Proverbs, Job, Kcclesiastcs and Solomon's Song. It approaches human things and things divine from quite another side than the Prophets or the Psalms. It is the philosophy of practi cal life. It Is the sitrn to U3 that the Hible does not despise common sense and discretion. It impresses upon us in the most forcible manner the value of in telligence and prudence and of a rood education. Above all, it insists over and over again upon the doctrine that goodness is wisdom, and that wicked ness and vice are folly. The Rook of Proverbs is the best statesman's man ual that was ever written. An ad herence to the political economy and spirit of that collection of apothegms anil essays would do more to eradicate from a people the causes of extrava gance, debasement and ruin, than all the contributions to political economy of Say, Smith. Malthus and Chalmers together. The book, as a whole, may be called the book of divine eomiuon sense; that is, a book of instruction concerning behavior in the common transactions of life, in which the thought of God and of His continual presence holds the chief place. Whilo no Christian can "help seeing the poetic foreglcam of Christ in the great monologue of Wisdom in chapter 8," yet other parts of the book furnish abundant justification of that type of Christianity which accepts but does not dwell on forms, so bent is it upon moral applications of the religious principle. They show that the fear of the Lord Ls quite compatible with a deep interest in average human life and human nature. It charges us not to love God less, but man more. Acnion. A large number of the proverbs are evidently by Solomon, as the Inscriptions state. Rut this docs not exclude the idea that Solomon may have gathered much from previous wi&dom. The human race did not exist at least 3,000 years before his time without coining many proverbs. So Shakespeare used tales and dramas that had existed before lnsday,and then made them Iiis own. Nor would it be strange if to tho earlier collection of Solomon other proverbs hail been added, just as the new Webster's dictionary that now lies before mc(contalns a large amount of matter Webster never saw, and yet it rightly announces itself as the authentic, unabridged Webster's revised and enlarged Some of the latter portions wcro gathered by Hezekiah, and other sections were added still later, as the book itself says. Date. Solomon lived about 1000 II. I C, but his proverbs may have been gathered into a book some time after his death; Delitzsch thinks in the tirao of Jehoshaphat (000 It. C). Others place it later. Hezeklah's collection belongs to 700 R. C, and tho last portion may be as late as tho times after the exile, 450 11. C or later. PRACTICAL PUOOKSTIONS. Wisdom's voice Is heard where It is most needed, among the daily labors and temptations of life. The greater part of what we enjoy and of what we suffer is put in our own power. God docs not leave anyone without invitations and warnings. God's warnings arc the fruit of wisdom and love. The fire bell is not rung that men may perish in the flamed but that they may escape. Those that refuse to listen at length become deaf to tho warning, as morning alarm soon ceases to awaken one who takes no notice of its calL "Tho prosperity of the foolish Is a calamitous thing. (1) It results In ruin to other people often their temporal, still more often their spiritual ruin. (2) It ends in their own dectructiom-

The Ner Iireatt. The favor T?ith which the now l)r-, i mde with Itoyal Halting Powdcr'in! stead of yeast, has been received bT our best housekeepers and most expert breadmakers, is really wonderful. u saves all the hard and tedious work of kneading and moulding," writes ni. "Less than an hour from tho dry fi, ,ur to the most perfect loaf of bread I vvtr saw," writes another, "Fresh br.ad very day," says another, "and that tho lightest, finest and most wl,0j some, is something to live for." -u relish the bread better than UhmiII icind;" "it is ahead of any y, v,t bread I ever baked;" "the bread wa, whiter and softer." "Rest o( a 1 " writes un enthusiastic housewife; Ue can cat the Royal unferm ented bru,l when freshly baked, or even wh n warm, with perfect impunity, it ,'s actually an anti-dyspeptic." "This bread has'a 'nutty' taste, that is peculiarly pleasing," writes still an. other. This is owing to the fact t:. at the active gas-producing prineipTeuf the Royal is derived from the pure grape acid. The great valuo of this bread arhes from the fact that in it are preserved all the most nutritive elements of tho flour, some of which are decomposed and destroyed by the action of yi ast The loss of these properties is'vt hat makes fresh yeast bread un wholtome. The use of the Royal Raking Powder instead of yeast is found to make a finer, lighter bread, devoid of all dvv peptic qualiti es. The same gas carbonic is produced as where yeast is used, but it is evolved from the baking powder itself and not from the Hour. Thereby the bread is made more wholenome and actually anti-dyspeptic. The greater convenience where a batch of the finest bread can be made and baked in less than an hour with no danger of a sour or heavy loaf, must be appreciated by everyone. The receipt for making this bread ij herewith given, and housekeepers will do well to cut it out and preserve it To make one loaf: One quart Hour, 1 teaspoonful salt, half a teaspoonftil sugar, 2 heaping teaspoonfuls Rinal Raking Powder, half medium-sized cold boiled potato, and water. Sift together thoroughly Hour, salt, sugar, and baking powder; rub in the potato; add sufficient water to mix smoothly and rapidly into a stiff batter, about as soft as for pound cake; about a pint of water to a quart of flour will be required more or less according to the brand and quality of the Hour u.ed. Do not make a stiff dough, like -east broad. Pour the batter into a g eased pan, 4?xä inches, and 4 inchc deep, filling about half full. The loaf will rise to fill the pan when baked. Rake in very hot oven 45 minutes, placing paper over first 15 minutes baking, to prevent crusting too soon on top. Rake at once. Don't mix with milk. Perfect success requires the most careful observance of all these details, The author of the receipt emphasizes the statement that Royal Baking Powder only can be used because it is the only powder in which the ingredients are prepared so as to give that continuous action necessary to raise the larger bread loaf. ,To every reader who will write the

result of her bread making from this receipt to the Roval Raking Powder Co., 106 Wall street.
