SWEPT BY A HURRICANE.

An Enormous Amount of Life Lost and Dam
age Caused ON the Island of Nautilus.
Advices received from Mauritius state that a
hurricane unprecedented in its violence passed
over that island on April 30. causing enormous
damage to shipping majority of the vessels
at the island were blown ashore. The western
half Of Port Louis, the capital. was devas-
tated.
The lose Of life was appalling. A large num-
Der of persons were caught in the falling houses
and crushed to death, while others lost their
lives by being struck by flying debris. Never
before in the history of the island has such a
warning of the elements been known. The ex-
act number Of dead il not known Every
effort is being made by the authorities to allie
viate the suffering. The governor has issued
orders for military tents to be distributed to
shelter the homeless and food is being issued to
those who have lost everything by the Storm
Half of the crops of sugar, rice. coffee and pep
direction is extremely heavy.
Among the stranded vessels werethe following:
The British steamer Pontakotn, the Umballa. the
bark William Wilson. steamer Oaklands the
schooner Paula and the bark Princess Wilhei-
nina All these vessels were slightly damaged.
The vessels still aground are the bark Straths-
pey, the ship Leander, the ship Aconcagua. the
ship Queen Of Scots, the ship Eurydice. the
steamer Amaranth and the steamer Gladiator.
Mauritius. or Isle of France, is an island be-
longing to England. in the Indian ocean, about
500 miles east of Madagascar, and 2,7O0 miles
from the Cape Of Good Hope. Its length from
north to south is 80 miles and its greatest
breadth "a miles, In 1872 it had population
of 326, 454. Port Louis is the capital and the
port through which all,the foreign trade is car
ried on. The population is mixture of Afri-
cans, various Asiatic people and European
races Of all sorts. Several thousand Hindoos
are there, who work the sugar plantations II
is picturesque island, having lofty ranges of
hills and three chains Of mountains, which vary
from 500 to $500 feet above the sea. The
land is probably of volcanic origin. The eli
mate il salubrious, the mean temperature being
about IA degrees. Between December and Nav
hurricanes are common. In March, 1918, and
February, 1924, hurricanes did great damage to
property and many lives were lost. cyclone
in March, 1868, destroyed 5000 fine buildings
and 20 900 huts and killed about one hundred
people. The trade is in sugar, indigo, fruits
and woods of different kinds. The Dutch first
settled on it in 1914 and France got il in 17l5.
England secured the island in 1910. Slavery
Was abolished there in 1885.

Strnngled by BurRlars.

For some time past an old and eccentric
spinster named Lena Munscheid has lived in
big mansion on the wieneren strasse, at
Bochum. Prussia. with an enormus and fierce
looking dog as her sole companion. The neigh
bors knew little about her, as she discouraged
any advances, and whenever any one CHANGED
to knock at her door she met them with re-
voiver In her hand and her faithful dog beside
her, ready to repel any attempt at intrusion.
On sunday the recluse was found dead in her
house, having been stranRled TO death. The
dog had evidently defended his mistress as we'll
as he could, the murderer having also killed
him. Robbery was undoubtedly the motive for
the crime, rs the old woman, who 1t appear
was quite wealthy, despite her misersbae life,
bad received on Saturday 10000 MARKS divi-
dend upon certain stocks owned by hsr, and NO
money was found ON the premisss whom the
body was discovered There h ~ yet NO clue
to the mysterious murder and robbery.

teresting questions to be enter
tanned and acted upon. In this
connection the taxation of mort
cages promises to excite much dis
cussion and great opposition. At
the last general election an amend
ment to the constitution was adopt
ed authorizing the Legislature to
pass a law taxing mortgages. In
our opinion such law would be
most injudicious and harmful, as it
would discourage the employment
of capital in Maryland and would
seriously affect those who would be
least able to stand such a tax-the
debtor classes. Capitalists can al
ways select their investments, but
borrowers must accept loans on
terms exacted by the lender. A tax
on mortgage is double tax, and
to this fact we specially call the at
tention of the members of the Leg
islature from the agricultural dis
tricts of the State. If farmer
owning farm valued at $4,000,
and who pays taxes on this amount,
should desire to borrow S5, 900 on a
mortgage, he would, (supposing a
law taxing mortgages should pass,
becompelled to pay taxes on $15,-
600, (the value of the farm $40, 900
and Of the mortgage $4,000 on
property worth only 100000. This
is homely and true illustration of
how such a law would work. A
capitalist who purchased farm for
$4,000 and was not obliged to
borrow would pay taxes on $4,000
only, but less fortunate purchaser
who had to borrow on mortgage,
half the purchase money, $4,000,
would be compelled to pay taxes on
$4,000, the value of the property
$4,000 and Of the mortgage there
on $4,000. The borrower would
have to pay the tax on the mort
gage because no one would loan
him the money unless he agreed so
to do. Indeed it is questionable
whether he could borrow at all, as
an agreement to pay legal interest,
6 per cent, and the tax on the
mortgage might be considered usu-
rious. 1t has been so construed by
the Court Of Appeals of Virginia.
The Legislature should consider
carefully how the interest of the
people can be best served and how
enterprise and capital can best be
attracted to our State.-Hamble-
ton h Co.'s Financial Report.
