Mobile. Ala., Oct. 1. The number of casualties in the great storm of last

Wednesday is slowly increasing as messages are received from places which have heretofore been inaccessible. The total at this writing is seventy-nine, with a possibility of 120. Four bodies not before counted have been found at Coden, and it is estimated that twenty-three lives have been lost from the oyster fleet around Cedar Point. This last estimate is not known to be accurate, and is probably somewhat exaggerated for the reason that it includes among the dead every man aboard a fishing boat who has not been heard of since the storm. Mobil Is Kesuminj; Business. Mobile itself is rapidly emerging from the confusion caused by the storm. Large gangs of men were kept working all of Sunday in clearing the

streets of debris, three of the street car lines have commenced to run, the confusion at the docks Is rapidly being repaired and business will be at nor

mal action as soon as the railroads are able to run trains.

west of this city is now fairly we.t known. At Reranton.Miss., one church, the Odd Fellows hall and several buildings were blown dOAvn. At Fascagonla beach, not a residence is left standing, the river front at that point

He had been afloat forty-eight hours and had witnessed the target practice of the North Atlantic fleet off Cape Cod. lie saw some splendid shooting, the guns not making a miss while he was on board, and added immensely to his popularity in the navy by a characteristic act. When the call to mess sounded on the Missouri, which was the flagship and the one on which the -president was, he declared he and his companions would mess with the men. Seats were provided at the mess tables and the president ate just what the men were eating. One Jackie observing that the president had no napkin, brought him one, but he declined it saying that he was "dining with the boys today," and wanted no special privileges. The sailors, however, "chipped in" after mess and Ixmght a box of cigars at the navy canteen, which they gave the president and lie accepted. ' :

How Iiryan Views the Case. Kansas City, Oct. 1. William' .7. Bryan, in closing his speech in convention hall said of the Cuban situation: "Some people say that because there was an insurrection in Cuba it is evidence that the Cubans are not capable of self-government. Forty years ago we had a war in this country. Because of that war no Democrat or Republican will say that we are incapable of self-government. There is no more reason for saying a Cuban insurrection mean? Cuba is not capable of self-government."

Episcopal Bishop Makes the Statement in an Address to the Y. M. C A. at Detroit. Detroit, Oct. 1. Bishop Charles D. Williams, of the Episcopal diocese of Michigan, in an address to Y. M. C. A. members here on "The Bible and the Word of God," declared that the Bible was not the word of God and that the teachings to the contrary are the most prolific source of unbelief the church has to contend with. The bishop said: "Take the young man just out of college. He reads Genesis and finds impossible geology, ffstronomy and ethnology. His teacher says, when questioned, 'Manipulate it until it fits your s'clences.' If too honest to handle the word of God craftily the young man gives up the Bible. He refuses to stultify his reason. The Bible needs no defense; all

it needs is a sanare deal. To thoo
