BEDLoE's ISLAND, in New York har-
Dor, where the great Liberty statue
from France is to be erected, has a
curious history, which makes it an
appropriate place for memorial to
Liberty. It's owner was Isaac
Bedloe, and in 1910 the Governor of
the state issued an instrument de-
claring that, for and in consideration
of valuable improvements made by
Mr.. Bedloe on his island, it should in
the future be known as Love Island,
and should be a privileged place,
where no arrest could be made or war
rant served except by special consent
of the Governor. The people did not
take kindly to the change of name;
the island continued to be known as
Bedloe's. In looking up the history
of the island deeds were found to the
most valuable part of New York, on
both sides of Broadway, which was
sold to Isaac Bedloe about 200 years
ago for 81 an acre. Bedloe's Island is
right in front of the city; not over a
mile from the Battery and Castle
Garden

Bridges Carried Away at Sulphur Springs
and Other Damage Done.
SULPHUR SPRINGS, Tex, June %
At noon yesterday, q severe storm
struck this place, the force of which al
most equaled a cyclone. It seemed to
strike the town from northwest and
southwest at the same time. Therain
fell in heavy, binding sheets. Small
streams Immediately grew into raging
rivers. All the town bridges were
swept away, and streets and
roads badly washed. About all
the shade-trees in town were
blown down, many Of them torn
out, roots and all. The Catholic
Church was wrenched from it's founda-
ton and seriously wrecked. The col
ored Methodist Church, a large frame
building, was unroofed, three business
store-rooms were unrocfed, and stock
OF goods badly damaged. A hundred
or more smaller buildings and sheds
were demoralized, and many miles of
fencing, both in the town and country,
Frustrated. The damage in town is
estimated at $4,000. The damage
to crops in Hopkins County will ex-
ceed this sum, as it is already known
that several hundred acres of corn,
cotton and wheat were entirely ruined.
The storm seemed to have wide
sweep.

eastern part Of that state. No less than
four bands of armed men are cunning for

bloodshed is so common that it hardly at

DR.. HALL, the distinguished writer
onhygiene, says that breakfast should
be eaten in the morning before leaving
the house for exercise or labor of any
description. This advice is followed
by many men who not only do no
work before breakfast, but do not get
up until their wives have been at their
work for an hour or more and have
breakfast already to eat. This great
care on the part of the husband is a
preventive measure against malaria.
