A Cyclone in Now Jersey.

soMERvILLE, N. j., Aug. ia de-
structive cyclone, accompanied by hail
in the history of New Jersey, swept
over this section of country last night,
destroying houses and barns, uprooting
trees and laying acres OF corn
fields low. The path of the cyclone was
half a mile in width and its extent
was from the Blue range to the Orange
mountains, northeast from here. 1t
travelled about five miles before it
seemed to waste it's fury. There is not
a house in this town of 5000 inhabitants
not damaged more or less, and the loss
Of crops in this vicinity will probably
reach hundreds of thousands Of dollars.

BILE. staid all night in the convent and
attended midnight mass. My bedroom
CNo. 18) was about half as big as that
little bedroom You and ! occupied at
JEST during our italian trip, but more
plainly furnished. As. l couldn't sleep
very well, got up and went to mass at
quarter to II, staid there nearly two
hours and then went to bed at . q. m.
At few minutes before II the monks
(peres, not freres) came fling In from
their cells, each carrying little lantern.
Not one of them uttered . word for
some time; then one Of them made q
slight noise as though with his knucklea
on desk, and the Latin chant Of about
four notes began and continued with
slight interruptions for m hour and
three-quarters. Then each relighted his
little lantern, put out the light hold In q
little reflector on the breast to Light I'M
the book before him, and as silently a.
they came they went off to their cells.
There are 40 peres or pretres there and
Al freres. The peres are the more ad-
vanced, live in their cells from weeks
end to weeks end, except for their
church services at midnight and one
meal together on Sundays and church
holidays. These peres never speak to
each other nor to any one whatever ex-
cept when out on a promenade, which
they take once q week. The freres do
the business Of the convent and are lees
restricted, though they never go outside
of the 10 acre walled inclosure without
permission. No woman is ever allowed
to go inside Of that walled inclosure ex-
cept by written permission from the
pope, and Queen Victoria was the last
one having that permission.
My trip to this convent, through .
beautiful mountainous country, and the
last nine kilometers at the side Of
mountain torrent, delighted me greatly.
There was nothing but mule path to
this convent until 1864. and their idea Of
living ''dans une solitude absolue" was
well carried out for nearly 800 years. It
is strange idea Of God and Of the way
to get to heaven that you should abandon
the world and all its trials and duties 30

box virtue, but now withdraw con-
demnation till I know their individual
griefs and mental makeup.
1t is at least better than suicide, for
time is almost always curative, and
reflection and study bring peace and
mental equanimity. Twill add that all
the freres met were pleasant, intelli-
gent men, charging me moderately and
treating me well, and when ! left the
convent between 8 and in the morning
bright, intelligent brother guarding
the outer door with monster key said:
"Bon jour, monsieur, OF bon souvenir
de la Grande Chartreuse," before he
locked the door behind me.-Cor. Hart

in fact, l was called into consultation
regarding the feasibility OF the project.
l did not then, and do not now, approve
of the scheme, and my most earnest
endeavors were expended in the
direction OF discouraging 1t. 1t
was originally proposed to mus
ter at least $4,000, and ii
possible half . million unemployed men
and force congress by means of the tre-
mendous demonstration to provide re-
lief for the needy classes. / do not be-
lieve, however, that the federation of
labor is at the bottom Of the movement !;
it is the direct result OF the agitation of
lot OF cranks, socialists and anarch-
lists. some Of whom are In this city to-
day, strenuously endeavoring to create
trouble. It may he added that
il any movement such a
that foreshadowed is attempted
on a large scale there is no city on the
continent where such prompt and vigo-
rous measures could be taken to re-
press any ansrchical demonstration.
There would be no red tape, no in
tervention of the mayor or governor
from whom action must be had before
the strong arm OF the national govern
ment could intervene. A move of the
anarchists in Washington would be q
move against the government OF the

Fort WAYNE, Ind, Aug. 10. "A mail

gold coin, consigned to Chicago, was
wrecked here last night at 1: 40 o'clock.
The engine was thrown from the track
ct the crossing of the Chestnut Terminal
Belt line. The third car, which con-
tanned the coin, burst open, and the
treasure was partly thrown out and
scattered in the middle of the highway.
The wreck caught fire from the engine,
and but for the prompt action of the
fire department the train, with it's
precious load, would have been con-
sumed. A force of men was procured
to guard the money. and at dawn this
morning it was taken to Chicago by

SYLVAN BEACH, N. Y, Aug. 19.--The
Peoples party convention this morning
adopted a platform reiterating alle-
glance to the three basic planks OF the
Omaha Platforms safe and sound.
flexible national money which shall be
full legal tender with free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver and gold at
l6 to l, an increase in the circulating
medium of 30 per cent per capita; the
establishment of postal savings banks,
government ownership OF telegraphs,
railroads and telephones. The platform
declares that the present distress is due
to loss Of confidence, induced by the
wall of capitalists over the expectation
of gold, and the urgent demands Of the
bankers for the issuance of more gov
eminent bonds.
The platform furthermore demands
the construction of public works for the
benefit OF the unemployed; that the
eight hour law be enforced; and favors
state and municipal ownership of rail-
roads, gas and electric lighting.
The platform was adopted after a
wrangle lasting four hours, and during
which considerable unparlismentary
language was used. The question of
nationalizing the liquor traffic produced
. three-cornered fight between the
nationalists, prohibitionists and labor
factions. The convention finally de-
clared in favor of the state ownership
of the liquor traffic, with the elimina
tion of all profit.
When it came to the selection of can
didates for election in November, one of
the delegates suggested fusion with the
Prohibitionists. He was howled down
by the crowd and declared out of order
by the chairman. A state ticket was
then chosen to represent the Peoples
party.
After the platform was adopted the
convention adjourned into the adjoining
room to hear Mrs. Lease.

with a piece of moist paper or the corner
of a handkerchief. If it is under the up

thumb and finger, lift it from the eye
ball and draw it down over the lower

back to its natural position. The foreign
body will be scraped Off on the lashes.
The operation may be repeated several
times. Or lift the lid from the eyeball,
allow the tears to accumulate beneath
the lid and forcibly blow the nose. Or
place in the eye a few grains Of faxseed,
which, forming a mucilage, will prompt
ly bring relief. Or place across the up
per lid the point Of a pencil or bodkin,
and turn the lid back over it. In this
way the foreign particle is brought into
distinct view and "a be readily wiped
