ARRIVAL OF THE NEWBERN.

Tidings Brought of Terrible Storm at
Mazatlan.
The steamer Newbern from Guaymas ar
rived yesterday morning two days behind
schedule time. The delay was caused by
terrible storm, which forced her to leave
Mazatlan and run for shelter under the lee
of PaJaro Island. The storm lasted fifty
four hours. beginning on the 9th inst, and
during that time torrents of rain fell
The Mexican steamer Altata and the war
slOop Democratic were also forced to go to
sea, and finally found shelter under the lee
of Venado Island. The Colima made an at
tempt TO enter The harbor at Mazatlan, but
gave it up and went to sea, where she re-
manned until the gale was over.
SO far as known The greatest damage was
done at San jose del Cuba, where the storm
played havoc with the orange trees, killed
many cattle and caused the death of man
and woman, who were probably killed by
the fall OF their house. At Mazatlan the
schooner Josephine and half dozen smaller
craft were driven ashore and wrecked.
Only one vessel that remained in the har-
Dor escaped--and that was sloop called the
Catalina. The officers of the Newbern say
the storm was the worst that has visited
that palt OF the country for several years,
but no estimate of the amount of damage
done could be learned, as the steamer left as
soon as the gale was over.

The oueerest Mania on Record.

A member of wealthy family, the name
of the head OF which is known all over the
commercial world, has peculiar mania
He is crazy on the subject of letter writing
love letters at that-and writes a dozen or
more every day, all to himself.
At noon every day he hards the butler
batch of letters to be posted and receives
them at the hands of the same individual at
Z o'clock every evening. He reads them
with the greatest manifestations of delight
and sits down TO answer them after dinner
He has kept this pastime up for a year. be-
ginning with one letter every week and
gradually increasing his correspondence to
the present batch.
He is good looking young man of five
and thirty, and was rs bright mentally, as
could be desired until his eighth year, when
scarlet fever left him little better than SIM
pleton. Ii he wrote 1900 letters day on the
same expensive note paper he uses he could
not spend thousandth part of his fathers
income.
Perhaps the pastime is as good as any he
could be engaged in. but it seems lust
tritie silly.-N. Y. Commercial.

PROPOSED NEW BANK.
Wealthy Germans TO Form a
Savings Institution,

A proposition is being discussed among
a number of wealthy German residents to
start new savings bank. A large amount
of capital is said to be behind the scheme.
The idea originated only recently, and
has not yet assumed the point OF definite
arrangements. Those connected with the
proposed plans, however. are very energetic
and enthusiastic in regard to the subject,
and If nothing interferes with their calcu-
lations it will only be a short time before
the new bank will be stared.
The chief promoters OF the scheme believe
that there Is ample room for another
savings bank, and think that capital in
vested in that way will be assured very
large returns.
The proposition is to start with a capital
of $1,000, 600, to be divided into 5000
permitted to take more than fifty shares,
the maximum investment being placed at
$4,000 This will be done in order to pre-
vent any man securing predominant
influence in the bank.
1t is proposed 10 place at the head of the
institutions some very wealthy and able
German fnancier5. Those who have been
approached on the subject say that all the
capital that is required can be obtained at
very short notice, and the difficulty will be
to select the shareholders. IL capitaliZing
the bank care will be exercised In the dispo-
siti0n of the stock.
Among those who are prominently inter-
ested in the proposed bank are Herman
Westerteld, Charles Schr0th and Louis WeS-
terfeld. An agent of the promoters, who
has broached the subject to a number of
wealthy German citizens, reported several
days ago that there would DO no difficulty
whatever in Immediately disposing of The
capital stock. Herman Westerfeld has
long list of names OF those who are favora-
Bile to the enterprise, and whose subscrip-
lions would leave very little of the capital
stock TO be disposed OF on the market.
The idea Is not TO run an opposition to
the German Savings and Loan Society. This
is distinctly asserted by the capitalists con-
nected with the proposed institution. They
say that there is plenty of room for another
bank in the business. and that they propose
to start one. The name of the new bank
has not yet been decided on.
In looking for site for their institution
the parties interested have cast their eyes on
the Nucleus Building. on the corner of Mar
ket and Third streets, owned by Mrs. George
Hearst, and where in times gone by it was
proposed to erect an edfce for the Exam
liner. This scheme is known to have been
abandoned, aud it is current talk among
capitalists that the property is on the mar
ket for sale. The bank promoters will en-
deayor to secure this property If satisfactory
terms can be arranged

HE KNEW HUMAN NATURE.

How A. Il. Stewart Made Market for
unsuitable Goods.

ago, into Mr.. A. T. Stewards retail dry

old gentleman was making his usual round
of the various counters. In the course of it
he came up to the place where / was stand I,

Taking up one article he said

And SO he went on through the entire
