1ngersoll ON California.

In q recent magazine article, Mr.. Err
nest Ingersoll, the noted writer, says:
The climate of southern California in
winter closely resembles that Of Egypt. It's
equability is constant, and it's dryneSs is
proverbial. The only complaint made is,
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents bred
in the eastern states confess now and them
that rousing storm would give them a
grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fed from a superfuity of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and TO che invalid
dreading the advance Of disease the still
and arid atmosphere is as the breath of life.

Several Eastern States and the Allan

s5.. Wind Storm.
Washington Visited by a Cyclone
Which Demolishes Buildings and
Costs Several Lives.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA heavy wind
and rain storm, amounting to almost a
hurricane, passed over this city about 1890
O'Clock to-day, doing great damage toprop-
serty. &, E.r
The walls of the new Metzerott muse
hall. In course of construction, were blown
down and several persons killed and many
injured. George White ladies' tailor, and
one OF his sewing women were taken out
dead from the building adjoining Meter
otis and two others We're badly hurt. One
,ofthe reservoirs of the Washington Gas
company was struck by lightning and
burned. Loss $4,000. Total losses in the
vicinity aggrer ratei more than $100,OO0.
A section OF stone balustrade around the
roof of the White House was blown down
during the storm and crushed through the
roof of the portico at the eastern entrance
ofthe basement. A large number of tele-
graph and telephone wires were naturally
carried down with the mass OF stone COM
pletely shutting off all communication
with the house by wire. The section de-
stroyed was about thirty feet long, COM
posed of Tree stone, in blocks and pillars,
and in falling carried with it large pcr-

PITrsBURG, Nov. 24.-Heavy rains and a
cyclone in this vicinity to-day. Several
houses in this city were demolished and
one at Temperanceville, burying woman
beneath it.
In the east end Of the city great damage
is reported. Finleys run, which flows into
the Allegheny river at Brilliant station was
transformed from an insignificant stream
into raging torrent and several houses
near its mouth were either carried away
bodily or shifted from their foundations.
At Shady Side, in the Twentieth ward, the
water came down from the hills, covering
the streets several feet deep with mud and
+. water and bursting the sewers in several in
stances. At Soho the water rushed down
Second avenue in such volumes as to stop
the electric cars, and in the lower part of
the city, near the point business was en-
tirely suspended. -.-
The eneighborhood Of Woods Run was also
partly under water, and dwellers on the
south side were deluged by torrents from
Washington Heights. 1t is impossible as
yet to get at the exact damage but 1t will
unquestionably be very heavy.
The storm caused great anxiety among
the river men. There was more than ], ,OO0,- :
900 bushels of coal lying in boats in the
harbor awaiting shipment, and tor time
it was feared that the boats would be swept
away. Several barges broke from their
mooring. but were recovered without loss.
On the Allegheny river the Star Sand COM
pany's hoisting boat and engine We're cap
sized and sunk. The crew escaped injury.
Several coal boats are reported leaking, and
it is cared great damage will yet result;
On, account OF the crippled condition OF
the telegra phic service the news from the
surrounding district concerning the storm
is emeager, 1t is known, however. that it
was severe at all points east and west of us,
and great deal of damage was done, par
ticularly along the railroads.
This evening the wind again became very

Lords Prayer in the Masonic Lodge

ten yet. There were about three
hundred members in the hall, and. as
the pathetic yet simple words rolled
out, the effect of the melodious voice
OF the great tragedian, together with
the marvellous intonatiOn and noble
pathos given to the sublime prayer,
made itself feltlupon all, and when the
amen was spoken strong men wept.

Disasters to the Oyster Fleet.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 2.-This city has been
without communication with Washington
since early this morning The last intelli-
gence received from that city was tele
phone message stating that a terrific hurri-
cane was raging and that several people
had been killed. 1t was also said that great
destruction to buildings had been caused
by the tornado, many being unroofed. I'M
mediately after the receipt of this commu-
nication the wire went down, and nothing
further has been heard. All the telegraph
wires are also interrupted, giving evidence
of the fury of The gale. tits evident that the
havoc wrought must have been great, as
even at this distance the wind blew at the
rate Of fifty miles an hour, and signs,
chimneys and everything movable were sent
flying.
Advices from neighboring cities show that
the hurricane is general in this section,
being accompanied in many instances by
furious rain storms, amounting almost to
cloudbursts. 1t will be some little time be-
fore communication can be re-esablished
with Washington, and then it will have to
be by railroad, as it will be almost an i'm
possibility to get the wires into shape to-
day. Floods have resulted from the heavy
rains in Maryland and Southeastern Penn
sylvania and it is believed that reports of
great damage and perhaps loss Of life will
be received as soon any means can be had
o, conveying intelligence. The gale on
Chesapeake bay is one OF the hardest known
tor years. The oyster smacks have run for
shelter when possible, but it is not deemed
possible that all have escaped. Be-.

BLINDNESS IN HORSES

Entertaining Facts and Theories
About Their Singular Perceptive
Ri Powers.
The way in which blind horses go
about without getting into more diff
culties than they ordinarily do is very
remarkable. They rarely if ever hit
their heads against fence or stone
wall. They will sidle off when they
come near one. A,writer in g. London
journal says:
1T appears from careful observa-
tion have made that it is neither
shade nor shelter that warns them of
the danger. On an absolutely sunless
and MINDLESS day their behavior is the
same. Their olfactory nerves doubt
driving them they will poke their
heads downward in search of water
fifty yards before they come to q
stream crossing the roadway. It can
not be an abnormally developed sense
of hearing which leads them to do this,
for they will act alike though the wa
ter be a stagnant pool.
''Men who have been blind for any
length of time develop somewhat SINH
lar instincts to blind horses. Some
one says that mono of the five senses
has anything to do with this singular
perceptive power, but that the impress
sions are made on the skin of the face
and by it transmitted to the brain,
and this 'unrecognized sense he calls
facial perception But possibly this
perceptive power may have it's origin
in such conditions as prevail in somn-
ambulism Or in the hehypnoticstate. Are
all such phenomena in man and horse
as I have mentioned to be accounted
for by words facial perception if
they mean anything? However, speak
ing OF blind horses, why should they
| cast their coats as winter comes on
and grow long coats at the ad-
vent of summer and so reverse the
order which is the invariable rule in
the case of horses possessed OF perfect
vision?" .'

ECONOMY IN CIGARS.

This Man Smokes Good Ones and
Gives Away Poor Ones.
A,well-known business man walked
into a cigar store the other morning
and took out two coins, says the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
One was a dollar and the other a.
half-dollar. He laid them both down
on the case and pointed to a box OF
imported cigars, saying: "Give me adol-
lars worth of those" The clerk handed
them out and the buyer laid the six
that he wanted in row along the
case. Then he said to the clerk:
give me half a.. dollars worth of any
good Scent cigar" The clerk did as
he was bid, and the 57centers were
laid along in "a row also.. The gentle
men then took the row of imported
cigars and cut the ends off. them all.
Then he mixed the 5 centers and the
25-centers> up together and put them
all into his capaclous vest pockets.
A friend who was standing near and
who had watched the operation with
a good deal of curiosity said; "Where-
fore?" "Simply this, my; boy" replied
the man addressed, "I amin business
where I have to give. away a good
many cigars, | am a,man who LIKES
good cigar. I cannot afford to,give
away the kind of cigars that I smoke
myself, SOL buy a days supply and
cut the ends off. Then I buy some
cheap ones. When it is: necessary for
me to give away a cigar I pull out a
handful and offer one to the person,
whoever he may be. He thinks that the
ones with the ends cut off I have had
in, my mouth, and, takes one OF the
cheap ones, whereby I save a good
many dollars in the course of a year
and also keep myself on good terms
with, the people to whomit is necessary
to give cigars"

Cured at the Franklin rublic school to-

old son o. Max Bollock. a well known citi-
zen, lost his lie.
Several boys were engaged in the game
called ''zipstcks," a pastime popular in the
noon hour. The game is played with two,
sticks. One about five inches long, sharp
ened at each end, is placed in a hole made
in the ground and one end Of it is struck by
by the longer stick, causing it to fly in the
air, and the trick is to strike it beforeit
reaches the ground. This game was being
played as usual to-day by some of the larger
boys. Little Eugene was just returning
from his noon lunch when the stick was
struch by one Of the boys, and in flying it
struck him in the windpipe. The little
fellow walked few steps and fell. When
picked up there was asmall blue spot on
the throat and he was unable to speak.
Within thirty minutes he was dead.
