TH H N 1f W xN2 Hui 1k AMI DEEO1s Hes Establishment ordered by Secre-
 tary Wlndom on Bedlow's Island.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-Secretary Win- dom has issued orders for the establishment of an immigrant landing depot on Bedlow's island, New York harbor, and arrangements will at once be made for the construction of the necessary buildings.
 Bedlow's island is two miles southwest of the Battery. It is thirteen and one-half acres in extent. The island originally belonged to the Bsdloes, who have since intermarried with many New York families and others. In l759 the oity secured the island at the re- quest of Dr. Bard as . suitable place on which to place patients suffering from infectious diseases.
 Before the breaking out of the war of 1612 the city surrendered the island to the federal government. Fort Wood was then built on it. In 1887 the Statute of Liberty, which stands on the island, was formerly dedicated

CHARGED BY A HURRICANE.
Tho Steamship Croma Enveloped Il
 Mist, Foam, Wind and Fire.

The steamship Oroma Enveloped In
 Mist, Foam, Wind and Fire.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The British steam- ship Croma, Captain Lord, which left Dun- dee on February 13, got into port last even- ing with tale to tell. Captain Lord says the barometer began to fall on the 20th, and by o'clock was known to 2S.90. The gale increased from s. s. E. to E., with terrific downpour of rain, interminglsd with dirt. At o'clock that afternoon the wind veered to the southwest and the sky cleared, leaving a dense mass of lowering clouds to the north ward.
 For an hour this black mass hung stations ary on the horizon, and then to the astonish- mont of the crew, began to bsar down on the Croma. Az it came nearer it lowered up as @ thick wall of white mist and foam, and at o'clock it struck the ship which, in mo. ment, was enyeloped in a cloud of flying spray that made 1t impossible to see the mastheads from the deck. A veritable hur- ricane descended on the ship, and the first blow she received sent her over on her beam ends, although not sail was set.
 The hurricane blew everything from the deck that would go. Weather cloths and boat covers were whipped up and carried of in twiukling. For three hours the storm did not abate its force. Flash after flash of lightning accompanied the storm, but by g p. m. It's force was nearly spent. The next day tho wind blew strong again from the northwest. On the 22d another storm, this time from the southwest, tackled the ship, and while at its height Q big sea broke on board, smashing the bridge and bulwark. and starting the wheelhouse. The Croma got clear of this gale without further dam sgs, and the next morning passed through fields of ice, mostly in the last stages of de- cay from the warm weather which has been prevailing of the Banks.

 Church Steeple.
 The men engaged in raztpg the First Meth odist church steeple have finished their work all but covering the part just above where the four urns were located, distance of about seventy-fve feet in all having been taken down since last Monday morning. Some of the timbers were nothing but mass of rotted wood resembling punk, while others were in fairly good state of preservation. On one of the timbers of the stespls was found carved this inscription:
 Frank Blackman, 1s48 Tho workmen were mystiied as to how the letters were cut there, as there was not room for anyone to get up there and cut them. The only solution given was that the cutting was done wben the steeple was being erected.
 The steeple originally was 1s5 feet high. It is now no feet.
 Services are to be held at the church as usual to morrow.

Congressman Yoder. who is also physi- oian, and Dr. Clarence Adams, a practitioner of this oity, were near at hand. Under their guidance tho wounded man was removed to the room of the committee on public build- ings and grounds, where he was made coln- fortable on lounge. Kinoaid made no on. deavor to escape, but walked into the crowd surrounding tho wounded man exeitedly
 exclaiming: 'I did 1t; am the man who
 did the shooting." Officer Bryan of the capitol police force caught hold of him after
 he heard those words uttered, and Kincaid
 was taken to the Now Jersey avenue ststion and surrendered to the police author-
 itiss. Messrs. Carlisle, Stone and other for
 mer colleagues of the ex-congressman saw him soon after he was shot. How badly he was hurt the doctors told him 1t was impos- sible to say, as they were unable to tell whether the ball had taken an upward or . downward direction. The stricken man rest ed in the committee room half an hour before he was removed to his home. He was taken out on lounge and placed in carriage. several doctors and ex-Representative Phil Thompson accompanying him.

What FrOfits Diaries Make.

Success in our business means many sales
at small profits" said the manager OF q res
taurant dairy to a writer for The STAR We
don't make very many pennies on anything We
sell, but they mount up in the course of a day.
Outside OF rent our expenses are almost
nothing. after the hire OF the help is paid We
manufacture little or nothing on the premises,
purchasing nearly all the goods we sell in con-
dition for passing over the counter. For ex-
ample. our milk and cream come direct from
Montgomery county, Nd. We pay 80 cents a
gallon for the cream, which is retailed at Is
cents a mug. Sixteen mugs make a gallon, so
that at that price there Is profit OF 10 cents
on each mug. Half and half milk and
cream, 10 10 cents a mug, and plain milk we
charge 5 cents a mug for. The latter costs us
% cents u gallon, which means that our profit
Oh 1t is about 81 cents a mug.
"All our bread and pastry We buy by whole
sale, making none of it ourselves. The rolls We
cut in two and make into ham and tongue
sandwiches. Meat and bread together they
cost us about cents each. Maryland bis
cult we get Wholesale at cents a dozen and
sell them for / cent apiece, but most of those
we dispose of are buttered and charged cents
for. so that they are more profitable. Pies
cost us 10 cents each for the big ones we buy
and each of them is divided into six scent
pieces SO that the profit on each piece is 2 .
cents. On such cakes as We SELL including
doughnuts and crullers, we clear about as
much. Coffee and tea represent TO US an ex-
penditure of Ia cents for each cup, the price
of which is 5 cents. For the ingredients in a
cup of chocolate We pay about cents and il
retalls for 10. You can see how in this way .
few hundred customers q day will contribute
enough to pay the running expenses of DAIRY
and allow fair margin for interest on the
investment"
