A CYCLONES VISIT.

Tho National Capital BADLY Shaken by
Terrific wind--Houses Blown Down and
Mt Least One Person killed-The White
House Somewhat Injured.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-A cyclone
struck Washington at 1890 yesterday
afternoon, and lasted about ten min
utes 1t was accompanied by driving
rain with vivid lightning flashes. TO
add to the confusion fire. bells were
rung, occasioned by buildings in various
parts of the city being blown down.
The worst of the storm visited the COR
ner OF Twelfth and + streets and
wrecked the entire corner. A building
in the course of erection which had at
tanned a height of four stories was
blown in on the back of several adjofn-
ing buildings.
A number of people were employed
in these buildings, and upon the build
ing in the course of construction mum
Der of bricklpyers were at work. The
workmen narrowly escaped death, but
in an extension OF one of the buildings
crushed, Mr. White, n tailor, was in
stantly killed, being crushed and man
gled almost beyond recognition.
At the White House about two tons OF
stone coping on the top of the mansion
was blown down on the porch on the
east side, crushing it in. A window in
the east room was blown in. The flag
staff on top of the White House was
snapped O fl as If it had been glass.

IhE JApAM EARTHQUAKE.

"Details by Mall Show IL 10 Have Been
Terribly Destructive of Life and Proper
ty-Thousands Of People Killed and
wounded and Houses DemoIlshcd In
Every Direction.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2A-Tbe steam
er Gaelic has arrived from Hong Kong
and Yokohama, bringing details of the
great earthquake that occurred in
Japan on October rs. The shock was
first felt In Yokohama about $40 a. m,
but no serious damage was done in the
city proper. The motion Of the shock
is said to have continued for several
minutes, its direction being east and
west. At Fukui the local court build
ing and several houses were destroyed,
and some people were injured.
From Shizuoka a report was received
that the Tokaido railway between
Nakaizuni and IIamamatzu sank
throughout mile of its length SO that
traffic was interrupted. On the morn
ing Of the 2gth news of an alarming
character was received. 1t was learned
that the Post and Telegraph in Nagoya,
large building, had been thrown
down by the shock and that three OF
the staff were crushed to death and five
wounded by the falling mass. From
the city of Nagoya itself came yet more
appalling intelligence, that five hundred
people had been killed and many thou
sands wounded, and that great ma
jority Of the houses had been destroyed
or damaged.
In the cotton mill alone 100
lives are said to have been lost In
Gifu and Ogali, the former town OF
II 200 inhabitants, nearly all the housei
were destroyed by fires that broke out
nfter the shock.
The Japan Mail says: at was natural
| ly yexpected the accounts first received OF
damage done by the earthquake would
prove to be exaggerated, but unfortu
nately, the opposite appears to be the
fact. Hitherto the records have
shown that the most serious loss of
| life occurred in Aichi prefecture, the
| figures for which We're: Killed, ., 100;
injured, 2,77l; houses totally destroyed,
5,346, and houses partially destroyed,

the worst results were in the Gift pre-

Attention to Minor Manners

And to descend to the lowest thing about gentleman, we should remember that his minor manners must be attended to; he does not swear or smoke in the presence of women, he does not eat his dinner in hurry, he does not crumble his bread about, making it into pills; he does not eat his soup with hissing sound, or tip the plate to get the last drop; he mends his table manners if they are bad, he dresses himself well if his means will allow; be he ever so poor he must be clean. If he commits any little error at the dinner table he must learn to be con- posed; he must be deaf and blind to the errors of others in society. But etiquette never means stiffness. The best bred peO- pie are the unconscious.
 So sudden are the rises in American so- ciety that many man has been invited to dinner party to eat his dinner off the plate which he lately washed. A politi- clan may rise from being c waiter to being president of the United States. And he is better man and better diner out, bet ter president, if, when he was waiter, he had good manners and was obedient. "He also serves who only stands and waits, '' has greater master than the pne who pays him his wages. The noble 6fd quota tion can be read two ways. A man may thus be gentleman at heart even in a condition of servitude. Many an old black Uncle Tom was q gentleman, but 1t would not have been proper to thus an nounce him to his master.-M. E. w Sherwood in Philadelphia Times.

The Aboricines of California.

After 119 years of association with white men in California, there is not now in our state one first rate farmer, mechanic or bookkeeper of pure aboriginal blood; not one merchant or owner of large herd of cattle. Many Indians have been good workers for a few weeks or months at a time in vineyards, orchards, hop fields, grain fields and sheep shearing, but at the close of the season they have wasted their earnings in dissipation, and then lounged about in idleness until another period of higher wages would stimulate them to exertion. This mode of life among the men, the degraded character of the women, the squalor of their dwellings, and the frequency of thefts near their camps, render them very undesirable as neighbors.
 There never has been time since 1916 when an Indian disposed to work faith fully could not get regular and profitable employment; when he could not save enough in year to pay for forty acres of land; and when after buying he could not be protected in its possession. Thousands of white men, after arriving in California without a dollar, became rich by4oil and economy; with better opportunities. for he was here wken the common labOrer could get $10 or $20a day, not one Indian ! has done so.-John $.

Cuban Surveillance Over Girls.

Probably no people are so rigorous in the care and surveillance of girls as the Spanish. The idea extends to women in many wise respects. In school, at play, in the social home gatherings, the boy and the girl are rigidly kept apart, or, if permitted each others society, it is under the strictest espionage. A little girl can not step outside her home without pro- tector. A maiden or young lady Is never seen upon the street alone. Any woman thus seen is instantly known as doubt ful person or worse. If my nina goes to school father, brother or a mother ac- companies. The airing is nearly always taken in a carriage. In it must be re- sponsible member of the family.
 No young, unmarried woman may visit friend, attend the theatre or be seen at q reception or ball, unless her parents are with her If she have lover he must come to the house and pay his respects to her like gentleman. His attentions are not secret. surreptitious, dangerous His choice is known to his friends, to hers. It must bo q clean business all around. Her proper privileges and his under this regime, am inclined to think, are greater, not less. She goes as much, but the whole family. sonnet hing as with the sensible German people. go along also. If the lover desire an engagement to the ball or opera with his senorita he must first propose at headquarters. Then her pleasure is sought. If she accord there are no misunderstood ings in that family. If it be a ride on the Calle Ancha del Norte or the Calzade de la Reina, they are all again there. If 1t be promenade on the Prado the whole family promenades, frequently both fam flies. The lover himself, in short, In all these undertakings while treated with real dignity is much less an affair to be considered than other things.-Edgar L. Wakeman.
