STARVING THOUSANDS.
Terrible Destitution Among the
Homeless in Louisiana.
CHILDREN CRYING FOR BREAD.

It Is Now Stated That Fully Twenty-Five
Hundred People Lost Their Lives in the
Recent Storm Burying the Dead in
Trenches-Foars of Epidemic.
NEW ORLEANS, La. Oct. 9.-The news
from every section stricken by the storm
makes it safe to estimate the loss Of life at
$500, while millions of dollars worth Of
property were destroyed. Besides that
thousands Of people have been deprived of
the means of making a livelihood. The
situation is appalling, but New Orleans is
doing all it can to relieve the thousands in
want. DR. Story, coroner Of plaquemine
parish, has made the following reports
A good many car loads of provisions and
clothing have been sent, but not near
enough Men, women and children are
without food and clothing. They have
become so desperate that they have threat
ened to attack the stores and steal food. 1t
! is frequent thing to see little sufferers
crying and begging piteously for some
thing to eat Single graves for the dead
were impossible. Great trenches were dug
and bodies were piled in one on top of the
other. The earth was thrown over them,
and II their names were ascertained they
were cut in rude crosses above the graves
do not think | exaggerate the facts
when | state that at least $500 souls were
ushered into eternity by the recent storm
in Louisiana. This of course, includes the
! Bayou Cook county, Cheniere, Camanada,
| Grand Isle, etc never saw bodies decom-
| pose so rapidly as those of the sufferers
which were viewed by me This was due
| to the fact that the fish an crabs in the
bayous eat the remains elieve firmly
that the marshes and otner places are
| filled with human forms. It is impossible
to get at these, however as no one is ad-
venturous enough to explore the swamps.
| There can be no doubt of the fact that this
is conducive to an epidemic of fever or
! even cholera If one case of the latter
should develop it would spread through
| the country like wildfire, but nothing can
| be done TO prevent this
! The relief party which set out from Bill
oxi tells an awful story of the destitution
and loss of lie in the Louisiana marshes.
| The marshes are filled with dead and
purifying bodies, in very few cases the
corpses being recognizable. The number
Of lives lost on those marshes will never
| be known. The territory covered was a
distance Of 200 miles. Newly made graves
were everywhere The only sign of life
! seen in the marsh was raccoon, and it
| was floating on log. Hundreds of oyster
/ boats and luggers were lost, with most of
| their crews, and the few survivors tell ter
rible stories of suffering. Most of them
were nude when found.
J Captain Julian Lefort, the leading spirit
among the survivors of the Cheniere ca
manada, placed the number of the saved
at 300 The population of the island and
the bayous Immediately connected with it
was slightly more than l 800. He says the
I island will be abandoned as a habitation
of man. Grand Isle and Chemdeleur will

Whom This IL Disposed OF the Bin TO

Doubtless Como UP in the House--The
Silver Fight in the nate.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 0-It is the common
expectation that this, the tenth week of
the extra session of congress, will mark an
important epoch in the history Of the con-
gress. In both houses legislation of the
first order of Importance is pending-in
the senate the silver repeal bill and i'm the
house the bill to repeal the federal election
laws-and it is believed that in both cases
the week will mark a sensible advance to-
wards conclusion.
On Wednesday the crucial test is to be
made in the senate-that is, If n sufficient
number of senators respond by that date
to Mr.. Voorhees, summons to insure the
attendance of quorum. In that case the
effort win be made TO bring the silver re-
peal bill to a final vote by sitting contin-
uously, the purpose being to tire out the
opponents Of the bill
If the plans OF the repealers are success
full the bill will probably come to a vote
before the close of the week But if the
silver men succeed in an attempt to break
quorum and force an adjournment at any

PHILADELPHIA Oct. 8. - Waldo Mes
saros, who was once we'll known minis
ter Of this city and later Of New York,
died yesterday in the German hospital.
MIR. Messaros recently lost his church in
New York, and later domestic discord
added to his troubles, his wife instituting
a suit for divorce. This is said to have
driven him to drink, and he had been dis
sipating heavily lately. 1t is said that his
friends found him lying on the floor of q
room in a gold cure establishment, sick
and helpless. They sent for a physician,
who pronounced his condition critical. He
was sent at once to the German hospital in
an ambulance, where his death occurred.

A story is told of quaint citizen of
Bangor in the early days whose love
of pilfering made him obnoxious to the
traders One of them, a fish dealer,
gave him fine lot of fish one day,
making a condition of the gift that he
should refrain from stealing any. The
party took the ish and went off appar-
emily well satisfied with this kind of
negotiation, but before long he reap
peared and threw down the fish on the
counter. Here Mr.. B." he said to
the proprietor, I've brought your fish
back, and | guess | won't trade with
you. | think | can do better" And
away he went, leaving the dealer still
at the mercy of the world.-Lewiston

Carding the Cow.

This ought to be daily winter duty o.
every farmer who aims TO give all animals
in bis keeping the best possible care. The
cows, the oxen and young sock enjoy
having their hair combed and brushed

are tied up and csnno. roam at will and

whole being may be devoted to the object
for which tits designed. The COW can be

The card is one means of accomp ishing

On large farm, whers the cows and
young sock do not leave the barn fiom
November until May, there is regua ar

every day a. about the same hour, the
cows look for the carder and become uuea
