A CYCLONES FURY.
II Occasions a Heavy Loss Of Life
in the East Indies.
Nothing Could Withstand the
Fearful Energy of the wind
frees Were UprOoted
Like Reeds


CALCUTTA, Nov. 1O.-Further details re-
garding The cyclone which passed ovor this
part Of India on Monday of last week,
show that the damage done is very exten-
siye besides loss Of N lives, occasioned by
the sinking Of the Indian government
steamer Enterprise, which foundered at
Audaman Islands and killing go conyicts.
There is no doubt there has been large
loss of life at other places along the coast.
AdVices from various parts of Crisna, a
province in Bengal, state that the cyclone
passed over that section of country and
did great damage. The cyclone cleared q
path through forests, uprooting gigantic
trees and hurled them aside as though
they were reeds. No house could stand
the terrible energy of the gale and every
dwelling or other structure within the
path Of the cyclone was either swept from
its foundations or else turned over.
The wind also did much damage
belew Calcutta, as is well known,
the river being the natural outlet
for the trade of the Ganges and the Brahm
Apoolra, The city is situated on the east
bank of the Hoogly river the western
most branch of the Ganges. The Hoogly
river empties into the bay of Bengal
through a number of mouths and many
vessels were at anchor off these mouths.
Hoogly river is in such position that
when the gale suddenly burst it was inn
possible to save many Of them. Numbers
dragged their anchors and were carried
ashore and others were damaged by the
pounding received by the enormous seas
which accompanied the Storm No es-
innate can yet be made, the total loss Of
life will be Very large

Theaters in New YORK.

Somebody asked A. M. Palmer day or
two since why the theaters Of the United
States are SO much smaller in size as com
pared with those of Europe And in re-
ply to the question which raised this in
teresting point, Mr.. Palmer, who is un-
doubtedly the ultimate authority on all
questions concerning the stage and its
people, said THE question of size in
theatres is Of little moment lust now iii the
development of dramatic art in America
Mere magnitude is nothing except when
the productions involve. spectacular effect
of an extraordinary kind. The drama
proper is well served in theatres of normal
size, holding not more than about twenty
FIVE hundred people. The spectacular ap-
peals to the eye; the play of the strong,
contemporanous action depends largely
upon the dialogue, and the very highest
literary form, the poetic and the Shakes
pearean demands that the voice at
its ordinary utterance be heard in every
part of the house. This readily explains
why the greatest theaters are found fn
Italy, the home of the opera. La Scala
i'll Milan and the San Carlo in Naples will
hold from seven thousand to seven thous-
and, five hundred people. This is we'll
enough where the whole community CON
slsts OF theater-goers. We have no call
here for such a vast auditorium. We have
no season, even, when the public turns out
en- masse, as in London, to the holiday
pantOmlme performance, requiring large
stages and great auditoriums. If the peo-
pie of New York were as much interested
IN the drama as the people were, presuma-
bly,, in Shakespeare's day, and if as many
fine and popular dramas were produced
now as then, we could have larger thea

GENTLY observant Of the stage to make sue

TRAINS DELAYED.
Washout on the Northern Pacific
Road.
NO Train TO MontesanO This Morn
mysterious Damage he
YOnd Gate city.

No trains arrived from Tacoma this
morning because of washouts on the road
bed and in consequence many persons who
visited that city were detained until this
evening. Attorneys who contemplated at
tending the supreme court were also una
Bile to be present, and much Inconvenience
was suffered. The Multnomah brought
down quite number Of passengers but
those who went down to the Northern Pa
cific depot were unable to return to the
wharf in time to catch the boat.
The storm which began on Sunday
night and continued until yesterday morn
ing, caused many small washouts on the
entire railroad and uprooted trees which
fell upon the telegraph lines and Temporal
rlly cut Oft communication at several
points on the road.
None OF the Washouts were Of serious
character, and all the telegraph wires were
In operation late yesterday afternoon, as
usual. The storm ragged with great Sc
verify in the Cascade mountains and the
streams in that section have swollen and
were still rising yesterday.
at Montesano pieces of the road bed
have been completely undermined,
ana GfalnS hesltated about running over
it. The most serious place was between
Montesano and Gate City, and when the
train from Tacoma to Montesano got a few
miles beyond Gate City, it was found to be
impossible to proceed. The train backed
up to Gate City, and remained over night.
This morning a force of men were at work
preparing the damage and she was able to
proceed to Montesano. The Clehalis train
to Tacoma got through all right to Ia
coma this morning, and there was really
no good reason why train from Ia
coma should not have come down.

NO HOUR WASTED.
Secretary Tracy Getting Our Ships
in Trim.
Movcmont of Vessels sim Un-
known to Eastern Oor-
respomdemts.

New YORK, Nov. 10.-A Washington
special says: Beyond the statement that
orders for hltrrging up the worG OH The At
lanta were prompted by the recent troubles
in Brazil and that she will probably be as
signed to that station, Secretary Tracy will
say nothing regarding the movements in
the new navy, but nothing has transpired
to change the belief that the Newark At
lanta, Concord and Bennington will start
for foreign waters just as soon as they are
ready and that the Philadelphia will ac-
company them. Rear Admiral Gherardi
reported his arrival yesterday at St..
Thomas. How long he will remain there
cannot be learned. The presumption
is that if he has not already
had instructions he will steam on
to the Pacific. He will continue to rendez-
yous in the vicinity of st. Thomas, until
he has received further orders. Word has
also been received Of the arrival of the San
Francisco at Acapulco, enroute from Callao
to Mare Island navy yard for repairs. 1t
is the purpose for the department. to have
her continue north without delay, and up
on the arrival of the Yorktown at Valpa-
raiso, to order the Baltimore north, that
she too may be put in service in an able
condition at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The Atlanta, Bennington
and Concord will be ready for
sea Friday or Saturday next, but their des-
tinat!on or their time Of sailing is not
known at the navy yard at Brooklyn. The
Atlanta will leave the dry docks on Thus
day. A well-informed official at the navy
yard told me he did not see how
work needed on the Miantonomah could
be finished in two or three weeks time.
AS it is they are working on her from 6 a.
nj. to 8 p. m. The secretary Of the navy is
readiness for sea with all possible dis
patch.

The Extra Session

Colonel Fl. f. Garretson, one of the har-
Dor line commission, is of the opinion that
there will be an extra session of the Iegis-
lature. There will certainly be an extra
session if Auditor Reeds decision in the
matter of the university warrants should
be sustained, (" said he. "That would sus-
pend all work until next February, and
would be a great injury to the institution.
This, added to many other things which in
themselves are very inconvenient wsuld

CANADA,s JaNGOES.
Great Britain WomId Not Back
EAem Up In AmY Mar.

TORONTO, Nov. 10.-Goldwin Smith read
q paper on "Jingoism" before the young
mans reform club here last evening. 1t
attracted considerable attention for two
reasons, first, because he came out unre-
reseryedly fer annexation of Canada to the
United Statos, which he said was Can
ada's inevitable destiny, and second be-
cause 1t was the last political lecture he
will ever deliver as he intends in the future
to contine his attention to finishing some
literary work he how has on
hand. In the course of his lecture he ask
ed if friends of ''Jingoism" in the domin-
ion really wished to provoke war with
United States. If SO had they measured
chances Of such war in challenging the
United States. Canadian ''judges" always
assumed that they have Great Britain
behind them, but they forget that the
mass of English people were not in a
temper to go to war with America on the
Canadian question. He had no doubt, that
by Americans generally Canada would be
welcomed, if she came into the union of
her own accord.

PALMYRA, Jure 24.-Please per-

Rock church for their contribution
for our house at higgins, Tenn, also
Fox & Smith, of GAINESVILLE, for some
hardware for the same. Our house
is up and completed on the outside.
1t is nicely painted, but we lack the
seats and ceiling. Will the people
pardon me for asking their aid once
more, that we may be able to seat
our house, if not to cell it at present?
We are anxious to have Il protracted
meeting as soon as possible. Seats
will be necessary if we are to sue
coed. How many will be willing to
given even a small contribution for
the seats? If the people only knew
of the Importance and need of the
field in the Big Yellow Creek coun-
try, it does seem to me that help
would be sent. Other fields may be
important,and doubtless are, but this
is a home field, and has the first claim
on our people. Respectfully,

A VALUABLE GIFT.
Ben. Franklin and the Old Tobacco Leaf
Files.

The LEAF-CRoNICLE has come into
possession of something which is
priced very highly. 1t is the old files
of the TOBACCO LEAF, dating back to
February 25, 1869, the third issue
of the paper. We are indebted to
Mr.. and Mrs. James Franklin, Col
lege street, for the same. The regular
file of the old paper was destroyed in
the fire of 1878, when the TOBACCO
LEAF Office, corner of Third and
Franklin streets, was burned. These
papers turned over by Mr.. Franklin
and wife were preserved by their
son, Ben.
This brings up some pleasant re-
collections of Ben Franklin. He was
very small boy when the TOBACCO
LEAF wasstarted, just large enough to
do little errands for his mother, COM
ing over every morning from New
Providence with some marketing,
and so soon as his work was done he
made for the LEAF Office. He was
there when the first paper was issued !,
became enthused and infatuated with
the machinery and business, and
laid hold OF everything he
saw, doing what he could, never
asking for or expecting pay. He was
always ready to go any GRAND and
made himself so handy that he was
put on the payroll. He stuck to the
paper as long as he lived and was
never satisfied or happy out Of the
Office. Every spare moment was
devoted to glancing over the ex-
changes and an item of local interest
never escaped his eyes. He was
valuable in gathering local news on
the streets without losing time from
his work. He learned TO be a
fine pressman and one of the
best job printers ever in the
State, and was a valuable
all-around man to a printing Office.
This is the way Ben Franklin start,
ed. He was noble fellow and
it is pleasant to cherish his memory.
He thought so much of the pa
per that he made it g business to take
copy of every issue home and file
it away carefully for his own use,
and this is the way the file has been
preserved. 1t is valuable and con-
tains interesting history of the re-es-
tablishing of GAINESVILLE trade after
the war, much about reconstruction
times, the agitation of the Princeton
railroad and other enterprises. We
again return thanks 10 Mr.. and Mrs.
Franklin.

OVER FOR THE SUMMER.
Interesting Exercises at the Closing of
St. Aloyslus School.

Quite a number of the parents and
friends OF the pupils of st. Aloysius
school were present at the closing ex-
ercises last evening.
The exercises were opened by a
"Song of Greeting" by all the pupils
in chorus. This was well sung and
without discord. An instrumental
duo-piano--"The awakening of the
lion," Ivy Misses Henahan and Sulli-
van, followed; it was heartily APP
plauded. A recitation, "The Mes
sage to heaven" by little Mary
Walsh, was next; ii was delivered
with very distinct pronunciation.
This was succeeded by an amusing
dialogue, EASY to criticise," rem
dered by the boys Of the fourth
grade. "The little orator." by Mas
ter Florence Parlin, was very pleas
ing and was creditably recited.
"What will you take for me, papa p"
a pathetic song by three little girls,
and a "Comic Song" by three little
boys, were received with deafening
applause, as was also "Kissing by
telephone" a beautifully rendered
solo by little Stella Henahan; she
was ringing up her papa through a
genuine instrument, kissing him
"twice" and describing the sensation
in manner delightful to the audi
ence. A recitation by Miss Ella
Driscoll deserves especial mention,
and another by Master Lawrence
Walsh which gave evidence of decid-
ell evolutionary ability; it was one Of
the best features of the program and
possessed real merit. Space forbids a
description at length OF "Mrs. Flani-
gan's Biscuit" other vocal and in
strumental selections and three well
prepared and excellent essays.
At the conclusion Father Japcs
awarded the several premiums and
made a few appropriate remarks,
thanking the audience on behalf OF
the Sisters.
All present could observe that the
children had received very careful
training from competent teachers.
