An Ola Superstition Exploded.
The New York Commercial Advertiser.
Zone thing that L cannot under
stand" said a well known adver-
Using agent yesterday" is that vague
among q certain class of advertisers
which leads them to believe that
their published pictures, if endowed
with luxuriant whiskers, will enspire
unlimited public confidence in the
article which they are placing upon
the market. This is not particular
ly noticea ble in the city press, but a
glance through the columns of the
average truly rural journal will prove
the truth of my observation. The
Professor, or doctor VINO is the
patentee of some all curing pill or
brand of bitters is invarisbIe repre-
scented in the advertising cut as a
middle-aged man, tropically pro-
fuse sideboards or forest of beard.
The object of this hirsute decora-
ton Is probable 10 give a patriachal
and erudite appearance to the possess
sor thereof; but he general y succeeds
in resembling nothing so much as
the original wild man OF Borneo. In
looking through twenty country pa
pers only encoun tered two adver-
tisors who had the courage to be
stereotyped with clean shaven coun-
tenances. One manufactured an
everlasting shoe and the other an
unbreakable hay rake. Another odd
fact is that the majority of the people
whose advertising cuts credit them
with lavish chin pieces really haven't
hair on their faces.

WAUkEGAS, ILL.,, Aug. 2l.-A rattle
snake in the office of DIR. I. j. Widdi-
combe. at Melville, q village near here,
bit the doctors 1s-year-old daughter
Nellie Wednesday evening with almost
immediate by fatal results. Some weeks
ago DR.. Widdicombe was presented by
friend with pair of live rattle
snakes, which he put in large glass
jar covered with close wire screen.
The jar he set on a bracket in the
corner of his office. Wednesday nigh
about IL o'clock the doctor and his
daughter returned from an evenings
visit with friend in the country and
together went into his Office to COM
pound some prescriptions. Shortly
after large owl flew in through the
transom door and in its awkward flut-
tering overturned the oil lamp and
some other articles from the shelves.
Before the occupants of the room had
recovered from surprise at the owls
entrance it had dislodged the glass jar
and broken the wire covering. The
SHdhcS were lOose IL lHc TooHh anu ono
of them with rattling. kissing sound
struck at Miss Widdicombe with its
fangs, imbedding them in the calf of
her leg. Her cries of agony aroused
every one in the vicinity and great
crowd of neighbors gathered on the
instant. Every known antidote was
tried, but none were effective. Death
relieved her sufferings in few mo
mentS.

Details OF the Recent Hurricane Mt Mar

Persons Injured and Twenty or More

PARIS. Aug. 21.-Advices received here
announce that the calamity which has
visited Martinique is the most severe
since the year 1917. The disaster Is said
to equal the famous cyclone which
swept over the island Of Antigua in
1871. So far as can be learned there have
been nearly, if not quite, sixty deaths
as result of the hurricanes visitation.
but it will be some time before the full
extent of the disaster is known. At
Fort de France alone there have been
twelve lives lost, and at both Fort de
France and St Pierre, to say nothing Of
the country districts. there have been
large numbers Of people injured.
At St Pierre five persons are known
to have been killed, but it is feared that
this number does not represent the en-
tire loss of life in the capital. Com
munication with the different ports Of
the island was never an easy matter,
and it is excessively difficult to get de-
tailed news at present As the reports
from the various sections reach
st. Pierre it becomes evident that
the extent of the hurricanes devasta-
ton has not been much exaggerated.
Destruction of property and loss of life
is reported from all parts of the coast
The latest report received at St Pierre
from Lamentin shows that the hurr-
cane counts ten victims in that place
alone. in addition to a large number of
injured.
At Francois there have been sixteen
people killed and large numbers in
jured. and at Riviere Pilote there have
been two or more deaths, and SO on
from all parts of the island comes
the tale of woe and desola-
tion. La Trinite sends in the list
of its dead at ten, and numbers of
more or less severely injured. The
damage done to shipping and property
may safely be classed AS stupen-
dous. About two-fifths of the island
was under cultivation and the
mountain slopes were covered with
forests; all the Gu tivation and all
the forests in the path of the hurricane
appear to have been swept away. The
numerous sugar, coffee. cotton and
cacao plantations which have felt the
force of the tornado seem to have been
utterly destroyed.
The number of ships wrecked in the
several harbors of the island is at least
twenty

The American Wheel Company Makes an
Assignment = Assets and Liabilities
Among the Millions.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2l.-The American
Wheel Company, the largest of its kind
in the world, having works throughout
Indiana. Ohio. Michigan and other
states, has failed. The assets are S4,-
100. 900: liabilities about S2,0OO,O 900.
Judge Blodgett, of the federal district
court, has made Noble {. Butler re-
ceiver.
Through concurrent action by district
federal judges of six states in which
the great corporation has branch
works and factories Butler has pos
session of all the property and will
carry on the business until the affairs
of the company can see their way
clear to resume on their own response
bility.
The failure was caused by the great
stringency in the money market during
the last six months. the company being
prevented from issuing any part of its
unused capital stock on which it had
depended for funds to meet its OBJ
legations maturing during the period
from May to November. This period
was the dullest period in the carriage
wheel business, and to make matters
worse creditors of the company holding
accommodation paper became cautious
and refused to renew or extend these
obligations, which were secured by the
plants of the company.
1t is claimed by the company's attor-
neys that the embarrassment will be
but temporary, and that within a
month the receiver will be discharged
and the control of the business be re-
turned to the company's officers.
