Heavy storms have swept from
the Gulf of Mexico through the
Southwest and West, doing great
damage. The Gulf storm Tuesday
night caused a food that swept
away a part of the town of Sabine
Pass, Texas, and over fifty lives
were lost. Great concrete blocks on
the ietty walls at Port Eads we're
torn away. The telegraph wires
West and South are nearly all down.
The wind blew sixty miles an hour
on Lake Michigan.
1t is feared that whole families. in
dlffent places, have been swept away
without leaving a vestige of their
fate. 1t is said that the situation

manifestation of terror and agony

AN INTERVIEW.

The II. T. Social Club, hearing that
one of its toniest members, ID. G..
Westenhaver, Esq, was not as pOpu-
lar as it should be under his aspiring
circumstances, sent Marks, the Law
yer, to interview this shooting ivy.
Mr.. Marks.-Dave, how is it that so
to recognize and associate with your
old friends; don't you remember that
you were once poor boy, and came
from the people; now you are a
budding" aristocrat and seem to
look down with contempt on those
less learned in the sciences and arts
than you are. This is no way to be a
statesman you should be more
" practically" opposed to prohibition
and go out more among the boys"
DAvE.-Stuff and nonsense! I am
not in the habit of looking back; my
course is upward and onward as for
the common people, what have I, a
lawyer and gentleman, to do with
them; they are poor and ignorant and
are good enough in their places. My
name is Westenhaver and am law
yer, sage and philosopher; study
the Fathers of Science and Evolution
mot our City Fathers and delight in
the company of great men; my views
are not like those of other people. I
commune with such men as Napoleon
Bu-o-naparte, Alexander, Billy Col
ston, John Brown and Joe Burns. My
name is Westenhaver and am law
yer; l like nothing common 1 read
nothing common Uust stopped THE
HERALD the other day. I'll carve
my name on the role of fame, high
above the reach of the commonalty.
Why when / am elected Prosecuting
States Attorney, Berkeley County

haren't time to talk to you-good bye.

intelligence or conspicuous popularity.
