KANSAS CITY. Mo-, May SO.-ihe storm
ofTuesday and Thursday night was general
over Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska and
delayed nearly all trains coming into Kan
sas City. Nearly all the telegraph poles
along the Southern Kansas railroad were
blown down and south of lola, Kan, there
were many ovesaows. The trains on the
Wabash we're over seven hours late. The
delay was caused by wrecked freight train
four miles east of Moberly. The constant
rains sottened the bad at that point. The
Chicago trains of the Santa Fswere delayed
over an hour by land slide at Courtney.
At this point the rain had washed away q
large portion of the cut, making shelving

way, piIiDg trees, stones and dirt on the
track. The Chicago & Alton tracks 10
western Illinois were inundated, and at

WHERE JEAN INGELoW LIyEs.-But a
few moments ride from London is the Kens-
ington home of Jean Ingelow, whose poetry
ia 30 familiar to American readers. The
house ia an odd one of cream colored stone,
and one scarcely knows whether 1t has two
or three stories. Liberal grounds surround
the house, and even in winter show garden
er's care. In summer the entire lawn
is bordered and dotted with flowers, for the
poet is pronounced horticuturist. During
the cold weather a spacious conservatory
attached to the house shelters the flowers,
and in this hot house of palms and buds she
is often found by her friends, reading or
writing. Flowers bloom, too, In almost
every room in the house, on The centre
tables, mantels and in the bay windows.
Jean Iugelow's home ia that of poet,
with books on every hand and always with
in reach, whatever you may chance to sit
down. The poet is now In middle life, but
her face shows not the slightest trace of
wears. Her manner Is most friendly, her
conversation charming and she has most
musical voice. She enjoys remarkably cor.
rect know lsdge of American literature, the
titles of the latest American books being
spoken by her with wonderful huency. Her
character is eminently practical without
touch of sentimentality. All her literary
writing is done in the forenoon; her pen is
never put to paper by gaslight. She COM
poses slowly, and her verses are often kept
by her for months at time before they are
allowed to go out for publication. She
shuns society, and the most severe part of
the winter is spent in the south of France.
