Orleans special says; Reports coming
from Plaque Mine and Jefferson parishes
of damages by the storm are of most
alarming character. 1t is impossible to
verify the lossof life reported, but there
is no reason to doubt that it is very
heavy, and the storm was much worse
there than around New Orleans.
The damage by the storm in New Or
leans will amount TO $566, 900. Outside
of New Orleans as far as can be estima-
ted, the damage will be 100000, making
the total losses something over a million

PORTLAND, Oct. 2.-Wheat is coming
in in very satisfactory quantities, and
the warehouses are rapidly flling-this
with several ships now loading. There
is free selling movement, and the To-

they have at any time this season.
There is no expectation of better prices.

Louis 1erraszas Gives Ais Views on the
Silver Question.

FL PAso, Tex, Oct. 2.-Lon Luis
Terrasza, ex-governor of the state of
Chihuahua, Mexico, declares the silver
compromise as proposed by the manu-
facturers of Pennsylvania was very
narrow and poor proposition. He
strongly favors the free and unlimited
coinage of silver as the greatest i'm
portance to this nation. With silver
worth S1.29 per ounce, or coined at the
rate OF 1915 10 l., Mexico, South and
Centeral Americas, in fact every silver
producing country in the world would
become at once consumer of our pro-
ducts which we now purchase in Eng
land, and the immense trade the west
ern continent now does with Europe
would be transacted at home, thereby
forcing Europe into bi-metallism.

Two Stories of Juries.

One of the Tucker jurors, who was
especially disgusttd with what the
Cleveland Plaindealer calls the illogi-
cal and warped verdict on which he
and eleven others had compromised,
told the following story in the Grim
inal courtroom ten minutes after the
verdict was returned:
Years ago an elderly and brusque
jurist from Sandusky used to hold Dis
trict court here, and on one of his
visits beautiful young woman was
tried before him and jury on a
charge of stealing $50 from man.
She was clearly proved guilty, but the
jury, impressed by her youth and
beauty, found verdict of not guilty.
Mr.. Clerk" remarked the old Judge,
"pay the $50 to the prosecuting wit
ness, it having been clearly proved in
this court that the defendant stole it
from him, and you may also pay these
twelve - fools their fees and let
them go"
The story was capped by one con-
corning another Judge, in whose court
was tried case on account. The
plaintiff made clear case that the
money was owing, but nevertheless the
jury found for the defendant. Turn
ing to the counsel for the plaintiff, the
Judge observed:
1T is, of course, your intention to
file motion for new trial?"
1T is, your honor"
Consider it filed. 1t is granted and
the verdict set aside. Gentlemen of
the jury, I'd have you know that in
this court it takes thirteen scoundrels
to cheat one honest man out of his
dues. Report to the clerk and get
your pay. You are excused from
further service"

CONSOLATION FOR LONELINESS.
A Man who Prefers Plain Girls for Sem,
Things.

l noticed a gentleman the other day
in one of the dry goods stores up town
buying some articles from a very plain
saleswoman. says writer in the N. Y.
Herald. She was one of those girlssto
whom nature had been especially Mig
gardiy. She had not one good feature.
All the arts for making homely people
handsome-and there are thousands OF
would have failed signally in
her case. There was absolutely no help
for her. Happening to know the gen.
tleman | mentioned it to him that he
had not selected a very handsome girl
to serve him.
81 never do" be replied quickly.
This was rather surprising. l be-
came interested.
why is that?" asked.
Because" he said, "the homely girl
knows that she is homely. She has
nothing to depend on but the excellen-
cy of her services. Therefore she takes
infinite pains with her customers. She
pays strict attention to her business.
There is nothing surer in the world
than that if you 90 into store and
select the homeliest girl to wait on you
you will be well served. The pretty
girl, on the other hand, knows tn at she
is pretty. 1t is usually very apparent
that she knows it. She trades upon
her prettiness. She uses the time and
thought she ought to devote to SER
wing you in trying to make you see
and understand and appreciate that
she is pretty"
But" said l, "men are such adj
mirers of beauty, one would think
they would waive all other considera.
tions for the sake of talking to pretty
girl"
"Oh," said the gentleman, natively,
Il can talk to the pretty girl who stands
at the next counter"

THE SUMNER GIRL IN TOWN.

1t has usually been supposed that
the summer girl was cheap one-but
this is snare and delusion. 1t has
dawned on her that at the watering
places young men were scarce during
the week, only appearing from Satur-
day until Monday, while they were in
the city from Monday until Saturday,
so she has concluded to stay in town
this summer, and the consequence is
that where he was supposed to take
her out once week before he is in
duty bound to trot her off to get the
fresh air some place every night of her
life-the fresh air, including the hear
ing of some pleasant music, the drink
ing of something cool, and the absorb
ton of her special delight, ice cream.

A Funny Combat.

once saw very funny combat be-
tween baby alligator and tiny
snake. Quite a number of both were
in glass tank provided with small
pond. rocks and growing plants. You
would have thought it perfect nurs-
cry for the babies to grow and be
happy in.
But while this thought was passing
through my mind l saw an alligator
make sudden snap as a little snake
was slipping over him, and in a mo-
ment the poor little thing found his
head held tight between the needle
like teeth of the alligator. Wriggle
and twist as he might, he could not
get away. In vain he tried to choke
his enemy by closely encircling his
neck; the alligator held his head per-
fectly rigid, and finally shut his eyes
with an air of satisfaction, as if it
were most ordinary thing for him to
have a snake tying double knots
around his neck.
After a long time, either because he
forgot his prize and yielded to desire
to yawn, or because he thought the
presumption of the snake in crawling
over'him had been sutl GENTLY pun
ished, the baby alligator opened his
jaws, aud away went the snake, SEEM
lngly none the worse for his adventure.

Since the death of Patrick Sarsfield
Gilmore, the famous band leader, the
American papers have been full of
stories of his generosity and unosten-
tatious charity. Manager SWEET OF
the Windsor added to the list when he
last evening told a characteristic story
of the great musician. When Mr.. Gill
more was here last he stopped at the
Windsor hotel, and on the day of his
departure got up very early in the
morning, as was his wont, to super
intend the preparations for leaving.
When he reached the rotunda he saw
the scrubwomen at work on the tiled
floor, and after commenting on their
hard lot, passed around them, giving
each a tive-dolar bill as he went by.
The head of the force received double
the amount. 1t may be imagined
that the gratitude of the girls was
great, and p. 5. Gilmore's death
caused no deeper regret anywhere in
Montreal than among the scrubbing
girls of the Windsor hotel. Montreal

She does not hesitate to tell him just
the sort she likes, which has cherries
and citron and pineapple frozen in it,
and to which is added taste of some
rich cordial, and this dish can only be
obtained at the most expensive place in
town. The duty of the summer young
man used to consist in tying her shoe,
which came united on an average every
third block; but now he is expected to
be on hand to arrange her scarf. Be-
tween you and me, unless she has both
daytime and evening young man she
will rebel. He is long-sutfering and
has great patience, but the summer
girl staying in town and with yearn-
ing for wine, music, and fiattery will
reduce him to state of pulpiness, and
some day as a result of her wickedness
he will be picked up on the street and
thrown in an ash barrel, for her con-
slant treading upon him will make him
look like disabled door-mat.
Then there are excursions. And
when summer girl goes on one she
wants everything; she wants popcorn
and her picture taken; she wants her
fortune told, and to see the fireworks;
she wants to go in bathing, and then
she is mad because her hair is out of
crimp, and from the very minute she
leaves the city until she gets back she
wants to eat-from marshmallows to
sardines, and from beer to champagne,
all is grist that comes to that mill.
Personally | attribute it to the fact that
she wears a shirt and lets her STAYS out,
so that she can swell and swell until
she is ftten' to busten'. She would like
to dance, but she doesn't think "really
nice people" do it on an excursion boat,
and SO, after having made that I'M
fortunate man spend all his money to
give her good time, the ungrateful
little mink sull<s all the way home be-
cause the exclusive hundred and fifty
are not there to encourage her in dane
ing Now, that young man had hoped
that coming home he could sit up close
to her and talk to her about the stars,
and tell her about his ambitions, and
what he hoped his future would bring
to him in the shape of nice little wife,
but she, having had too good time,
treats him as if it were entirely his
fault that Mr.. McAllister was not there
to add dignity to the occasion and let
society as he found it permeate the en-
tire boat. And yet, with all her faults
that insane young man will take her
on another excursion. On my honor,
do believe that the American man is
the most ill-treated and the sweetest.

Mosquitoes in Xucatan.

1.-THE largest mosquitoes in the world
are to be found in Yucatan," said
Richard Beverly to a St. Louis Globe
Democrat man. Until few years
ago there was not a mosquito in all
Mexico. They were introduced by
vessels from the United States, and
have in the land of their adoDtion at
tanned proportions unknown in other
countries. The lowlands of Yucatan
swarm with monster mosquitoes whose
bites are almost as painful as the
sting of bee. The historical Jersey
mosquito sinks to insigniiicance be-
side these Titans of their kind, which
are frequently as large rs houseflies.
In neighborhoods where marshes
abound it is impossible to keep stock
of any kind. and during the rainy sea-
son the people wear coarse netting
stretched over face and neck TO keep
these insects from devouring them.'

Wooed With Hypnotic Power.

What promises to be very inter-
esting story was brought to light YES
terday by the .iling of a bill in Circuit
court No. 2 to annul the marriage of
Miss Drucilla Wolff. the pretty little
thirteen-year-old daughter of Mr.. Will
lam N. Wolff, and George Flack. Flack
is about eighteen years old. He and
Drucilla have known each other for
years, and the father of the girl al
leges in the bill that for at least six
months prior to the marriage he exer-
cised an almost hypnotic influence
over her.
The two young people took walk
together on the evening of Aug. %,
and they went to the house of the Rev.
Mr.. F. B. Rice, the pastor of Union
Square Church, at the corner of Lom-
bard and Calhoun streets, where they
were married. 1t is claimed that
Flack had already procured license,
and Mr.. Wolf, the father of the girl,
alleges that it was done through fraud
and perjury, the young husband hay-
ing made oath that he was % wears
old, and that his prospective bride was
over IS years old, AS soon as the GER
emory was performed, it is alleged
that the girl returned to the home of
her parents, and has remained with
them ever since. Flack, it is alleged,
has never contributed anything to her
support.
The father alleges that the husband
of his daughter has acquired such con-
troll over her that when in his pres
ence she will do anything tina; he or
ders. This influence. he says, was
used when he compelled her to marry
him. Baltimore He,uid.
