BOATING IN THE STREETS.
The Oronoco's Great Over1ow-Thousands
of Cattle Drowned.


The Orinico, the mighty stream OF
water which forms the principal means
of communication between the eastern
norton of Venezuela and the southwest
ern provinces of Colombia, correspond
emf of the New York Ucra(d, writing
from the Port of Spain September 2Uth,
saws overfowed some days ago, ana an
immense loss of property IL the result.
Naturally in place where the popula-
ton is sparse and postal and telegraphic
facilities are undeveloped, the accounts
that have reached us are incomplete,
but sufficient details have come to hand
to prove that many owners OF cattle
ranches on the banks of the Orinoco
and its afluents have been practically
ruined.
In the province OF Apure is, 600 head
of cattle are said to have been destroyed
and in other grazing districts the loss IS
said to have been equally heavy. One
proprietor of hattos, in the vicinity OF
Las labIas, lost ] 900 head of stock. 1T
was. however, in Ciudad Bolivar that
the pinch was most severely felt. This
city is built in the shape OF an amphi-
theatre, and near it is large lagoon
which is usually the resort OF colossal
saurians, whose fate in life is to be peri
odically hunted by the enterprlslng citl-
zens.
This lagoon gradually increased in
volume until few days ago it swept
over the dyke which separates 1t from
the lower town and deluged the streets
adjacent to the river There were pre-
yions foundations in 1874 and 1877,
which will long be remembered as dies
netasti in the history of the State, but
their horrors were transcended on the
! present occasion. The estimated popu
| lation of Ciudad Bolivar is 5000 souls
and between 1000 and 1000 of thes,
were driven from their homes by the
flood and left practically destitute.
Fortunately for the sufferers the Presi
dent of the State, DR.. j. A. Ruiz, tool
prompt action for their relief. News o
the disaster was telegraphed to Caracas
and pecuniary aid was at once forth
coming. Representative officials anC
merchants met and took steps to imme
diately supply the wants OF the sufferers
The Minister of the Interior, DR.
Casanas, also acted promptly in thi
emergency.
The state of affairs may be imagined
when j state that in the Alameda, the
principal business street of the town
boats were plying in lieu of tram-car
and cabs. The Office of the principa
newspaper, III BoiUarense, was swamp
ed and the plant had to be transferred
the Office of the other journal III Eco dc
Orjnoco, was flooded with water anC
publication had to be suspended. Wha
makes the outlook especially serious j
the fact that on previous occasions siml
lar inundations were followed by epi
denies which occasiOned a serious los
of life among all classes OF the people.

Thestrc Eats.
New YORK Worli.l

In the name of all the men who love
the play we thank you, ladies
For yeors-nay, nearly for n genera
tion-the high and commodious head
COVERINGS which the gracious aud grace
full sex insisted upon wearing have shut
the stage and the players from our view.
Men laughed Mt them and we're sarcastic
and irritated, and some few of the ruder
among Us were objurgatory. The car.
toonist tried his hand. The professional
funny man made the large and obstruc-
tive theatre hat part OF his stock III trade.
The war upon the hat accomplished
nothing. And this was partly due to
the fact that men we're inconsistent.
They derided and denounced the hats
OF the wives and sweetheart' OF other
men, but proudly and gladly escorted
their own lavorites to the theatre no
matter how bumptious were their head
coverings.
VOW. in their own sweet way and IN
their own good time In which they &c
all kinds of things, the ladies have dis
carded the hats which offended, and are
wearing small bonnets which conceal
neither their own beauty nor the stage.
