from the myriad other spectacles these
strange stage shows afford in them
selves sufficient inducement to the low
erS of theatricals to keep the various
theaters1packed almost TO suffocation
day and night. And it is not only the
tbeater-going portion of the populace
who visit these performances, but
those as well who are not in the habit
of attending the theaters of the city.
This may be accounted for by the fact
that such performances were never be-
fore witnessed in this part of the world.

Hickory MT Cookies.

A very simple recipe for hickory nut
cookies is to take one pound of sugar,
one-half pound of butter, two eggs, one
pint of hickory nut meat chopped fine
and some flour. Cream the butter and
sugar together, add the eggs and
hickory nuts, and then mix in enough
flour to make the dough stiff enough
to roll out. Sprinkle each coolly with
granulated sugar and bake in moder-
ately quick oven. Hickory nuts can
be used the same as cocoanut in icing
and filling for layer cakes, if the meats
sbe pounded into a paste.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. THE Plea
yune's relief steamer, the Emma Nc
Sweeny, has returned from Grand ISL
and and Cheneri. Houses were lifted
from their foundations and thrown sew
eral hundred feet The Grand Isle ho-
tel, with its contents, valued at SO, 900,
is totally wrecked.
The inhabitants of both islands are
in need of clothing, water and provis-
ions. The relief boat distributed all
that it had; she took on a cargo of pro-
visions yesterday morning and proceed
ed direct to Cheneri Nine hundred
dead bodies have been found floating
in the waters of Grand lake. At Bay
Caminda, a family of six were washed
to sea on raft and washed back again
when the wind changed. The property
loss on both islands will be very heavy.
The loss of life at Cheneri is not less
than 700, and may reach 1000. Only
eighteen persons were killed Oh Grand
isle, though the destruction of property
there was great.
On Cheniere Caminda a climax of
horror was reached. Cheniere is one
of that group of islands which extend
along the lower coast, and to which
belong Grand isle, Tembalier and Lost
island. 1t was station for fishing
boats. 1t contained one town
Camindaville-of about 1000 people,
the majority fishermen. On Sunday
evening there were 1000 dwellings
within its limits; to-day twenty-five
only remain standing, and of these not
one is uninjured. The very ground
rent The pier has disappeared; only
heap of oyster shells marks the spot
where it stood.
As one advanced the foot sank into
an oozy slime that covered the paths.
This was relic of the seas that had
for many hours covered the island.
Camindaville was renowned for it's
luxuriant shade trees and lovely gar
dens. Not leaf remains upon the
branches, and the trees for the most
part are Frustrated upon the earth.
Paths have been obliterated and the re-
porter was obliged to scramble through
the bushes, mounting the accumulated
rubbish from ruined homes. Fields
had formerly existed in considerable
numbers along this portion of the
front, but they had been blotted from
the face of the landscape. The plants,
almost without exception, had been
blown from the beds, and those which
the gale had spared were dead and
yellow.

EVADING THE LAW.
A Divekeeper Arrested for Selling
Liquor Without a License.


George Althrup runs dive at 440 Bush

drinks are supposed to be sold. But there
was lurking suspicion in the minds of
the heads of the Police Department that
something stronger than ginger ale, sarsa-
parilla and iron, lemonade and similar
drinks that do not inebriate was being
served to thirsty customers.
With the object OF allaying or confirming
this suspicion Police Officers Huichins and
Webster were detailed To visit the dive In
plain clothes. Accordingly they sauntered
in yesterday morning, took n seat at one
of the tables and ordered two drinks of
sarsaparilla and iron. They swallowed

suggested that little whisky would suit
their tastes better The order was filled
