FOUR STATES SWEPT BY WIND.
The Damage Done by Thursdays Cyclone
Is Enormous.

The Damage Done by THURSDAYS Cyclone
Is Enormous.
MEMPHIS, March 25.-The damage done
by Thursdays cyclone in the Mississippi
valley is enormous. While the loss of life
is not SO great as at first reported, the dam
age to property will reach So, 900, O00 The
death list foots up twenty, while the list of
injured will run up into the hundreds.
The first heard of the cyclone was in
North Louisiana and South Arkansas 1t
crossed the Mississippi few miles above
Greenville.
The first fatality occurred near Shaw's
Station, Miss, where the house of Drury
Sumrai, prosperous and industrious COLI
ored farmer, was lsvelsd to the ground,
killing the entire family of min. persons.
The hurricane then changed its course
slightly and travelled the right Of way of
the Yaxoo and Mississippi Valley railroad
until it entered Cleveland, Miss, where
public school building, several houses and
stores were rszed to the ground.
Leaving Cleveland the cyclone passed
within mile of Clarksdale, a town Of O.
600 inhabitants, and next struck Tunica,
the county seat Of Tunica county.
Nearly every building in the place was
wrecked. As the cyclone left Tunica 1t
divided, one portion travelling in a north
easterly direction, while the other took q
northwesterly course, and again crossed
the Mississippi river in Arkansas, whsre it
spread ruin through three counties
The towns Of Charlottesville and Vincent
were nearly wiped of the face Of the earth,
and the storm then took noi+heesterly
course, reaching Kelly, Miss, about 4
o'clock in the afternoon. Here the great
est damage was done. Six people were
killed outright and scores injured.
After leaving Kelley the cyclone passed
into Tennessee, the next place to fall in It's
path being Spring Creek, a small town in
Madison county, where several people were
injured, but no one was killed.

A Herd of Sixty Camels Said to BE Roam
ing Over the Arid Plains of Arizona
WASHINGTON, May 29.-The fact that a
large section Of n circus is roaming about
In Arizona and Texas without owner or
manager was developed by an address de-
livered before the Lone Star State society
by MIR. Gustave Bender. He has discovered
that 20 camels were living in the deserts OF
Arizona, between Yuma and Ehrenberp
OH one side and Weetleburg and the Col
Orado del Norte on the other, and is Ell
deavOring to bring this fact before govern
ment officials in order that this big herd
may be taken to Yellowstone park OIL
some other government reservation, where
they will enjoy immunity from the bullets
that are now showered ON them by COW
punchers whenever they run across the
bumped animals.
The camels, Mr.. Bender said, were doubt
less the remnant of herd of as brought
to this country in 1916 for use on the arid
plains of the west in military operations.
1t was thought they would DO so valuable
AS means for transportation that congress
appropriated 200 to purchase the ami.
mails, and they We're brought to the United
States III government vessel. For some
reason they did not meet the expectations
of the advocates of the appropriation, and
were finally sold mt sri per head. The pri
waite owners eventually gave up the task OF
feeding them, and they have since roamctl
the Arizona desert, and but for the bullets
OF the playful cowpuncher, would have
multiplied exceedingly.

Mr. Giadstono's Explanation OF Absurd
Rumors as to Transforming ROYALTY.


LONDON, May 29-Mr Gladstone has
thought it desirable to contradict the re-
port that parliament will be asked to vote
"a additional allowance for the Duke of
1orK ON his marriage. The rumor was
palpaDly absurd, seeing that less than four
years ago the house of commons, with a
view to putting a stop to the undignified
custom OF sending round the royal beg
glng hat on the slightest pretext, passed
the Prince Of Wales children act, which
assigned to the trustees of the prince the
annual sum of f36,000, with which to pro-
vide dowries for his daughters and salaries
ior MS sons. 1t was very comfortable
arrangement for the Prince of Wales, and
therc can DC no reasonable excuse for ask
ing more for the Duke of York But the
princes friends are saying that he is not
required by the act to provide for other
peoples daughters and therefore parlia-
ment will have to dover Princess May.
seeing That her parents are poor Mr.. Glad
stones denial may be read to apply only
TO the Duke of York, although an applica-
ton for Il grant for Princess May would
be contrary to the spirit of the act. If
parliament should be asked to dover the
bride the money would not be voted until
after a good deal of opposition and plain
speaking by the Radicals, but the MEM
oerS Vi the BRUSH royal family are not
very sensitive in such matters, and the
money would be accepted, however grudg
ingly given.

In the home secretary's office is hard ut

ing of habitual drunkards, referred to i'm
these columns last week The bill, it seems,
is being drawn on the lines of the lunacy
acts, which in itself is q deadly insult to
every selfrespecting inebriate, and it is
alleged that dipsomaniac is to be defined
as hard drinker whose conduct is such
as to satisfy the magistrate that he is at
times not responsible for his actions, owing
to the influence of drink" The definition
Is sweeping enough to make good many
men feel exceedingly uncomfortable, and

ance published that the bill will give am
