A FEARFUL CYCLONE.
Its Horrors in Mississippi-Loss Of
Great Many Lives-DestructiOn Of

Its Horrors In Mississippi-L0ss OF Q
Great Many MISREPRESENTATION vi
Towns.
Jackson, Miss, Special: At4 o'clock Sun
day evening fearful cyclone passed over
Beauregard and Wesson, contiguous towns
forty miles below here, on the New Orleans
railroad. The wind had been blowing a
gale fer three days. A rumbling sound and
violent shaking of houses heralded the ap-
proach Of the cyclone, and caused intelligent
people to believe it was an earthquake.
Then thunder, ]ightnin~, wind and rain
came with terrific force, sweeping every
thing in their path. In the western part Of
Wesson fences .were tore down. Trees that
had stood storms for ages were uprooted
and hurled 100 yards. Houses on Peach
Orchard street, where operatives of Missis-
sippi mills domiciled, were demolished. A
pine forest adjacent to town was blown out
Of existence. At this hour thirteen are
known to be killed and wounded; estimated
number seventy-fve. Several are missing.
Fifteen or twenty dwellings were blown
down in the eastern portion, but not
much damaged. As soon as rthe storm had
somewhat abated and people began to look
about, loud peals from the church bells rang
out, and people were seen running in all di-
rections toward West Wesson. The rain
meantime was pouring in torrents. Reach
ing Peach Orchard street, an indescribable
scene was witnessed. Pere the greatest de.
struc,ion occ;lrre People were seen on
all sides sobbing, and the groans OF the
wounded beneath the ruins were perfectly
and extricaitng the wounded from
the ruins then began. The wounded were re-
moved as fast as possible to houses which
escaped injury. Several of the dead lay out
in the violent rain for more than an hour
after the catastrophe. One little boy was
found in the woods. He had been blown
several hundred yards unhurt. Beauregard,
a mile north of Wesson, has about 800 in
habitants, and was entirely swept away.
The destruction to life and property is in
describably appalling. Not house of any
kind is LETT standing. Large brick build
ings were blown down; frame houses torn
loaded freig 1t cars lifted from the track and
carried 200 yards; and trees timber from
houses were scattered for miles around.
Aside from the losses in the towns men,
toned the devastation of of the country in
the path of the hurricane was very great
crops, farm houses and stock, with some
loss of life.
A special reports the passage of a cyclone
throug Oh the lower part of Georgia with de-
structive results, also very general wind
and heavy rains all over the State. At
negro church short distance from Stark
vile, Miss, a negro man was taken bodily
up. The last seen of him he was high up,
wildly beating the air as if seeking some
thing to stay his progress.
The extreme southern portion of the city
ofAberdeen, Miss, commonly known as
freedman's town was almost entirely de-
stroyed. Many cattle were killed. Eight
or ten negroes were killed and fifty wounded,
some of whom will probably die.

The Author of -America-


Yesterday afternoon Rev. S. F. Smith or
Newton gave a very interesting address at
the Boston Baptist Bethel, in which he related
his experience among missionaries OF Asia,
having just returned from that country. DIR.
Smith will he remembered as tho writer Of
our national hymn, America" which he
wrote in 1882 while a student at Andover. HI
waS born in Boston at the west end, Oct. 81,
1908, and consequently will be rs years old
this month. The hymn was first sung at a
convention Of Sunday schools at Waterville,
Me-, June, 1895. and again the next year at
Winslow. On June 20, 1885, it was pub
lished for the first time in The lions Advo-
cate, and since that time it has been sung in
every village and hamlet in the country. DR..
Smith also wrote the hymn commencing with
the words, 1.-THE Morning Light is Breaking"
and in the course OF his address be stated that
While visiting q mission of Telegoos in Asia
he heard the hymn sung, part of the congre-
CATION singing in English and the rest in tho
native language.

BLOWS that for a mouth" said a natural
ist and sportsman to a reporter, pointing TO
a mounted bird on the table. The bird was a
mottled-brown specimen, about as large as a
pigeon, with u mouth that stretched literally
frUm ear to ear.
"How about the eggT' asked the reporter,
noticing that It was in tina birds mouth.
"Thats just tho point" replied the bird
man. Its a n~ight-hawk- No, they don't eat
eggs; but that shows that bird exactly as l
shot it, and thereby hangs q tale.
Last summer I Rad an old darby
that 1 took out coon hunting with
me to carry tho truck, and one
night as we were blowing through a hard lot
OF brush 1 told him 10 go ahead and hold the
lantern. So he did, holding one of these
bulrs-eye lanterns just over his head. He
wns about three feet ahead OF me, when oil
at once | heard a kind OF a smash, and down

For a few minutes ho made it blue there, l
can tell You, but finally he got up, swearing
something had struck him with an cgg; slro
enough, his face was dripping with broken
egg, and on tile ground we found a night
hawk She had flown at the light and
struck tho old man fairly in the face, knock
ing him out. The egg business puzzled
me, however. But the next day whom
l was out l came suddenly on to a
smooth spot, .and saw a night-hawk throw
herself on her sid and begin 70 go lame l
knew there was something up, and the next
mlnute l mnde out the nest and egg; but at
tho first move I made she darted at it, picked
up the egg in her mouth, and flew away. l
was determined to see how it WIS done, 80 l
brought down my gun and shot her on the
wing, and l found her dead with tho egg in
her mouth

the night-hawks are supposed TO have little

to have more than the average maternal af-

as the dog kept pointing 1 looked closely,
and soon made out another night

CounterfeitInr with the Pen.

NEW YORK world
Ono counterfeiter OF the paper issues OF the
government is very successful, however, as
he has been ut work for over a year and has
not yet been caught. He is working I'm an
original but very limited field, and, having
no confederates, is comparatively safe. From
tho limited means employed by him he can
never hood the country with any large issues
OF tho spurious notes. This counterfeiter
makes his notes with a pen and skillful manip-
u~lntlons Of water colors. He confines himself
to twentie3 and ffties. The whole line-work
upon the back and face Of the bills is made
with a fine steel pen. The signatures are
superb and would enable thism modest work.
man TO bloom out rs a first-class forger.
These bills will not bear close inspection, but
their general appearance Is equal to that Of
the genuine. When 1t is remembered that
this is no plate work, that can
turn of numerous impressions, but
work that must be repeated In
ench detail for every bill, 1t will be
seen that the skillful penman will never get
rich ut this kind Of work. Penmen estimate
that the most expert workmen could not
make over two or three bills in q week, so
that the man cannot make ut the outside more
than $40 % 800 n week. Such a skillfuI
draughtsmnn ought to be able to make asgood
a living legitimately. The notes were first
discovered In New Orleans They are now
picked up in various parts Of tho country,
showing that this penman travels about using
these Hills, made us he needs them to pay his
way.
1 carefully examined one OF his twenties
to-day. II Is a counterfeit OF the United
States treasury note, and is so well made
that IL would deceive most any non-expert.
Certainly the careless look given by the aver
age man who handles money would not dis
cover it. Its general appearance is much inn
proved by some process OF giving the bill the
look OF age and use.

A Hinge Exuoerance-


Iapprehend that ut the present moment
there Is no question more interesting to the
American people than their newspaper press.
1t has become n huge exuberancu of the day,
like CULVER making his advent into L.ili-
putia. 1t can not be tied down, and it is dan
gerous when it stands up. When it relieves
itself In tho ordinary operations of naturs
the scandal is like the sun in heaven. In New
York the increase OF newspapers is entirely
In iuced by ayarice. The reduction of the
price OF papers there Is nothing but q matter
OF avarice. The old citadels Of prosperity are
being assaile1 In every way. The attack Is
not ouly directed OF the prosperous 4-cent
and Scent papers, but on the prosperous p
cent papers. and the tendency is to wipe out
the penny papers entirely. Yet, in the long
run, that channel which best serves the pub
lie will b. proved to have been planted on
the best foundation.
