LAIDLOW BY A STORM
A SCORE OF PEOPLE REPORTED TO
 BE KILLED IN LOUISIANA.

Reported to Be the Worst Storm That
 Ever Visited That Part of the Country.
 Heavy Losses at Mobile Wrought by the
 GaIe-The Orange Crop Ruined.
 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 3.-A terrific storm struck New Orleans, coming from the northeast, and ragged here all night and part of the day, sweeping to the south from here along the line of the Mississippi river, through the parish of Plaquemine to the gulf.
 The storm was one of the worst which ever visited this part of the country, and as far as can be learned "A or more persons were killed and probably three times as many wounded, some of them fatally.
 Three deaths and one person wounded severely, if not fatally, is the mortality record in New Orleans. Below the city it was far worse, especially in Plaquemine. Here the wind reached velocity of 100 to 125 miles an hour, sweeping everything be- fore it.. The parish seat of justice, Pointe la Hache, town of 12, 900 people, was the worst sufferer. In that town not single house escaped injury. Four grown people are known to be killed in Point a la Hache and several children.
 Among the killed are Mrs. Leon la Franche, wife of one of the leading mer- chants of the town, and Mrs. E. Levanders, wife of we'll known lawyer. It is probable that the mortality will be greatly increased when news is received from faraway settle ments on the gulf coast below Point a Ia Hache, in the orange country of Louisiana. It is said that there is not an orange left on the trees, and it is the same all the way down the coast. Algiers ferry landing was blown away. The coal fleet was scattered, and the tugs were engaged all night res cuing the barges.

TALK ABOUT WOOL

New York, Jan. 1.-THE National
Association of Wool Manufacturers be-
gan it's twenty-eighth annual meeting
here today. President Whiteman de-
clined election and Rufus S. Frost was
chosen. S. D. n. North, of Boston, was
chosen secretary.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
as the belief of the manufacturers that
the existing tariff has proved advantag
eous to wool growers, manufacturers
and consumers of wooden goods; that
the proposed economic change is not
in response to any demand from the
industry represented, eighty per cent.
of the manufacturers of the country
having Joined in protesting against the
passage of the free wool bill now pend
ing in congress, and which protest is
reafirmed.
The attention of congress is invited
to the fact that wooden goods are man
ufactured nearly year in advance of
the season for whose wear they are
adapted, and in consequence any law
simultaneously removing the duty on
wool will compel the whole domestic
production os the season manufactured
from duty-paid wool to compete in the
markets with foreign goods manufac-
tured from free WOOL
With the Springer bill discriminate
duty in this respect, admitting at re-
duced rates simultaneously with the
repeal of wool duties all foreign goods
imported prior to its passage and held
in bonds, year should elapse after the
wool duties disappear before compen-
satory duties are repealed.
The resolutions ask at the hands Of
congress a most careful examination Of
all the conditions surrounding the in
dustry in this and other countries; as
sert preference shown in simple adj
valorem duties invariably accompanied
by systematic undervaluaions, and
urge upon congress tn importance of
maintaining the specific form of duty,
or some part of it, in the schedule.
They protest against any measure of
tariff revision which singles out a par
ticular industry like the wool manu-
facture for reductions of duty which
are not applied impartially and stimuli
taneouSly to all industries.
The customs administration act Of
1890 provided for the first time a uni
form, impartial and effective admins
tration of the tariff laws, with an ex-
pert tribunal for the determination Of
disputed rates and classification, and
the retention of this law in substan-
tally its present form is urged.

The question Of liability of railway
companies for injuries sustained by their
employees while in discharge Of their
duties, through the negligence of co-em-
ployes, is worthy Of the most careful
consideration.
Those who are employed in running
or operating locomotives or cars, and
are constantly exposed to danger, not
only from the hazards incident to their
employment, but from carelessness or
negligence of fellOw-wOrkmen, are en-
titled to the fullest protection consistent
with due regard for the rights and
interests of employer as well as employ
ed.
I earnestly recommend this important
f." v0F!r consideration, and hope
law will be enacted that will meet
the just demands Of this large special
class of workmen.

Speaking of William L. Royal,

vile, Va. .'Why, ! knew him when he
was a boy. He was born and raised al
Mount Ephraim, in Fauquier county.
He was a quick, bright fellow, and oft
ten conversed with his mother in
French. He was fond of arguing and
when he couldn't get a boy to engage
voluntarily with him in a debate have
known him to hire one and take him
ont to the woods, give him choice OF
sides on the question, and then pitch
into him with the earnestness of Pat
rick Henry. Billy was about twenty
years old when he entered the army.
He at first belonged to Company A,
Ninth Virginia cavalry, ". I. Lees
brigade. In 1868 he was detailed as
scout for J. E. b. Stuart. r. Z. Lee and
gained much valuable information. He
was finally captured in Stafford county
not far from his home, and was charged
with being a spy. The Yankees took
him to the Grove church, in Fauquier,
and were preparing to hang him. The
Federals had a bitter hatred for the
whole Royal family. They had taken his
youngest brother, a boy of only twelve
years of age, from his home and kept
him in prison until he died. Royal was
about to end his days near the church
of which his father was at one time pas
tor, and where so many of his relatives
were resting beneath the sod under the
shade Of the trees. As the Yankees
were preparing for action Billy asked
if he couldn't say a few words The
privilege was granted, and he mounted
a stump and began. Before he had
spoken many words he had the general
and his command in tears They wound
up the scene by declaring that he was
too smart a soldier to hang, and Will

VI TITH appetites sharp as the swords
w And pie-crust as long as the coast
of Maine,
No wonder you're seized with IN inward
pain,
And made cross and grabbed.
But when you do shorten the pastry with
lard,
You render digestion remarkably hard:
We beg Of the cooks of the land to discard
This dangerous habit.
1t ruins digestion. The experts insist it
Should never be used in pie-crust or
biscuit,
And never in cooking at all should you
risk it.
But people must,
1t seems,
Have crust
To make a pie;
And think ii hard TO Danish lard
With which to fry.
Now "CoTToLENE" is pure and clean,
And will supply
The place of lard in this regard.
Suppose you try
Croquettes, and see
How delicate and crisp they'll be.
Physicians, chemists, cooks, all say,
By using "CoTToLENE" you may
Prepare your food in such a way,
That children and dyspeptics too
Can eat what other people do.
It's color is quite golden looking,
No odor rises from its cooking;

When you have tried its matchless favor.
Your health and wealth you will enhance
BY giving "CoTToLENE" a chance.
