island April 30, causing enormous damage
to shipping. A majority of the vessels at
the island were blown ashore. The west
ern half of Port Louis, the capital, was de-
vastated, houses were blown down, gigantic
trees were uprooted, and that part of the
town was about wiped out of existence.
The loss OF life was appalling Never be-
fore in the history of the island has such a
warning of the elements been known.
The Governor has issued orders for mill
tary tents to be distributed to shelter the
homeless, and food is being issued to those
Half of the crops Of sugar, rice, coffee and
pepper have been utterly ruined. Mauri-
tus, or, as it is sometimes called, the Isle
of France, has always been noted for its
violent hurricanes, but this one exceeds in
destructiveness any hitherto known.

vania Railroad, will be extended within the

timore and Ohio Railroad. About two years
ago the road was built from Rodebaugh on
the main line to Madison, IL miles. A late
move on the part of the Baltimore and Ohio
road in making survey from sewickley
station to Jeanette stirred the Pennsyl-
vanfa people to action. Four weeks ago two
corps of engineers were put to work. the
location of the Pennsylvania line has been
completed, and 200 or 800 men will be put to
work on the grade within ten days.

Here is luxury described on the top of the

The house apartmen is are built to open into
a square or garden generally cooled by a
splashing fountain and planted with in
Vulnerable sweet-smelling Towering shrubs
and gorgeous orchids.
The largest hall or reception room takes
up the whole of the square adjoining the
street, so that on the one side the windows
overlook traffic and passers by, while on the
other side large folding doors open to
wealth of floral beauty. These saloons are
often most gorgeously furnished; the richest

PURSUED BY A SPIDER.
Insects That Are Savage and Unsafe to Trffie

With.
DR.. w. ii, Hudson tells of an adventure
which he MT with while riding across a
plain covered with dry grass. Pursuing
his way at an easy trot he suddenly OBJ
served great spider chasing him, leaping
swiftly along and keeping up with the horse.
He aimed blow with his whip at the fero-
cious insect, and the point of the lash struck
the ground close to it, when it instantly
leaped upon and ran up the lash.
1t was actually within three or four
inches of the hand that held the whip be-
fore the latter was suddenly dropped. These
great hairy spiders are very formidable in
appearance. When approached they stand
erect on their four hind feet, like pugil. 4.
lists, threatening the adversary. Then,
dropping upon all eight feet, they charge
to the attack.

A GRAND HORSE SHOW.

Fine Animals from Every Part OF tho
World for tho Great Fair.
q Lovers of fine horses will be thor
oughly satisfied when they come to the
worlds fair and see the horse show
which Chief Buchanan, of the agri-
cultural department, is going to make.
This feature Of Mr.. Buchanan's depart
ment is being worked up with great
care, and if his expectations meet with
the realization which he anticipates
there will be the greatest show of fine
horses in Chicago during the progress
of the fair that the world has ever seen.
There will be specimens of fine horse
flesh from every part of the world where
breeding and raising of the equine is
given any attention. This congrega-
ton of noted horses will in itself make
show that would inspire the brush
of Rosa Bonheur. The great Orloff
brothers from Russia and the French
Dem-Sang family of fast steppers will
compare points with Sunol, Axteu,
and Americas best.
Owing to the probability Of there not
being sufficient space for this feature of
Mr. Buchanan's exhibit in the grounds
allotted to him ut Jackson park ar
rangements will be made to have tho
horse show held probably 1T Washing
ton park or at some point that can be
conveniently reached from the main
grounds.
in line with Chief Buchanan's plan
for the horse fair an offer was recently
received from NJ. w. Durham, of
Wayne, Ill, guaranteeing the money
necessary for premiums on the Dem
Sang family of French trotters. Mr..
Durham represents the French Coach
Horse society, of America, and the So
ciety, through him, offers premiums on
all prize horses from five years of age
down. On both stations and mares of
the first class q premium of one hum
drcd and fifty dollars is offered. For
the second, third and fourth classes
fine medals arc offered; fer the best
stallion with five colts, two hundred
dollars and medal. Also the sarac, two
hundred dollars and medal, for the best
marc with two colts, these latter being
family contests, where the points of all
will be judgo1t collectively.
In addition to this, the French breed
ers have offered rs premium for the
finest general collection Of French trot-
tcrs q very handsome, full-sizcd statue
in bronze of u typical French trotter.
This model is 4 production of the great
French artist Isadorc Donhcur, who is
relative Of Rosa Bonheur, made fa-
nous by her wonderful painting, 1.-THE
Horse Fair"
