rricoupis md His Dog.

NJ. Tricoupis, who may be regarded az
the foremost statesmen in King Georges
dominions, and who has repeatedly held
the Office of premier, Is distinguished
for the store set by him on canine friend
ship. One day when he was crossing
from the Pir@us to Constantinople on
board an English steamer, his dog fell
overheard. Tricoupis, who was not in
Office at the time and stranger to the
captain. entreated the latter to stop the
vessel in order that he might rescue the
hound.
"Impossibler' replied the Englishman.
my orders are very strict. I dare not
stop, even were it man instead of q
dog drowning"
'sGoodr' laconically answered the
Greek, and at the same time he sprang
over the ships side and SWAN toward
his dog, although sharks abound in those
waters. The sequel may be guessed.
The English captain could not resist
such a spectacle of pluck, and in spite
of his strict orders to the contrary he
stopped the ship and saved both man
and dog.-New York Tribune.

A Terrible Wind Storm RACES Along
the Lower Mississippi
Valley.
Pointe a La Hache, In Plaquemine
Parish, La, Almost Entirely
Destroyed.
Over Score Of People Reporte
Killed and Twice as Many
Injured.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. "A terrible
storm struck New Orleans late Sunday
night, coming from the northeast, and
ragged here all night and part of Mon
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 We're
wounded, some of them fatally.
The wind had reached velocity of
4S miles an hour at o'clock Sunday
night, and it constantly increased in
force until . a. m, when its velocity
was estimated at 20 miles an hour. The
crash of falling sheds and buildings
caused intense alarm, and most of the
population Of the city remained up all
night expecting
Their Houses to Be Blown Down.
The Recruitment levee on Lake Pont-
chartrain was overfiowed and washed
away, the water sweeping over it 10
feet or more. Many of the yachts
there were sunken or injured. The
track of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad was badly washed for 10 miles,
and it will be several days before it can
run trains. Three deaths and one per-
son wounded seriously but not fatally
is the mortality record in New Orleans.
Below the city it was far worse,
especially in Plaquemine. The wind
reached velocity of 100 to l25 miles
an hour, sweeping everything before it.
The parish seat of justice, Pointe la
Hache, town of 1900 people, was the
worst sufferer. In that town
Not Single House Escaped Injury.
The courthouse and Catholic church,
the principal buildings in the town,
and some 20 other buildings were de-
stroyed and the situation was so threat
ening that the greater part of the peo-
pie, fearing destruction in their build
ings, camped out in the street all night
in heavy rain. The air was filed
with debris and the wind blowing SO
fiercely that many of them had to
anchor themselves against the trees to
prevent being blown away. A score of
people are known to be killed in Pointe
la Hache. It is probable that the
mortality

harvested. 1t was completely destroyed
in the storm with loss of $3.50, 900 on
this one item.
Telegraph communication is cut off
with nearly all places. Skiffs Were sent
out in the swamps about Lake Pont-
chartrain, and 40 persons were rescued
who were in more or less danger from
the storm.

The barometer is still falling. The
wind has blown the water in from the

street, which is four blocks from the
river and at an elevation of about 10
feet from mean river height. There is
no possible chance of estimating the
money damage. All the wholesale and
a great portion of the retail district of
the city is some four feet under water
and thousands of dollars worth Of
goods have been damaged. The pilot

Almost Totally Wrecked.
The Crescent City, another bay boat,

It is reported that three dredges
working in the channel have been lost.
It is also reported here that some 30
miles of the Louisville and Nashville
road along the coast is also under
water and that the Biloxi bridge has
been swept away. Nothing has been
heard of the gardeners in the marshes

goods. It is the worst storm that has
ever visited Mobile. The southern
part of the city presents such scene
Of wreckage that 1t looks as if it had
been bombarded. The towers on the

OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM.

Suggestions Regarding Changes Re-
ceiyed by Banking Committee.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The commit
tee on banking and currency is in re-
ceipt of communications from various
parts of the country, con tanning sug-
gestions with regard to proposed
changes in the financial system of the
government, which are pending before
the committee. One of them is from
ex-S enator G. B. Farwell of Illinois,
whose propositions are rather startling.
In the first place, he thinks the govern
ment should take up all its greenbacks
and circulating notes of every kind He
says the government has issued circu-
lating notes but twice during its his
tory-during the revolutionary war
and during the late rebellion-not to
furnish circulating medium, but be-
cause the COVE rnment was unable to
borrow money. 1t has always been the
function of banks
To Furnish Paper Money.
The national bank act was passed,
Mr.. Farwell states. not to pass finan-
cial system, but to enable the treasury
to get $500, 900. 600 out of the banks.
The government at the time of the
passage of the act discredited it's own
bonds by saying they ''are worth only
80 cents on the dollar" and it has main
tanned that opinion up to this hour.
sNow," says Mr.. Farwell, ''if you
want to make money cheap to the peo-
pie, foster, extend and cherish the ma
tional banking system; first by allow
ing the banks to take the par of bonds
in circulating notes; second by repeal
ing the tax on national bank circula-
ton except just enough to pay to print
the bills; then refund the present
bonded debt into 100-year per cent
bonds. It would probably then ap-
pear that the volume of government
bonds would not be adequate to furnish
all the circulation which would be re-
quired for
The Business of the Country.
If this should prove to be so, some
future congress could provide that
municipal and state bonds under proper
regulations, could be taken to supply
the deficiency" Mr.. Farwell also sug-
gests the repeal of the subtreasury act.
The government, he says, discredits
the national banks which it has created
and supervises. Subtreasurers give
bonds in $500, 900 or $500, 900 when they
hold from $12. 600, 900 to $500, 900, 600 Of
money. If the government revenues
could be deposited in the banks the
same as people it would be kept in sub.
stantlal circulation. 1t is now locked
up and as for any business purpose it
might as well be in the bottom Of the
