A NOVELTY IN BUTTERFLIES.
Editor Gibson Made It For the Benefit OF
an Amateur Naturalist.


an Amateur Naturalist.
Puck has in its lithographing depart
ment o German who is an amateur nat
uralist. He is constant delight to the
editorial department., or, rather, he was
until Managing Editor Gibson hurt his
feelings last week. Schmidt-that ism t
his name, but it will do-carries part
of his natural history collection around
with him. Mr.. Gibson doesn't know
anything about those things, and he
doesn't want TO.
Mr.. Gibson was pinohing the creases
in his trousers one warm day, when an
unusually large cockroach crawled up
on his desk and looked at him.
'"Too bad Bunner has given his cir
GUS, +" said Mr.. Gibson, ''but we may be
happy yet.
He captured the cockroach and boxed
him up. Then he cut pair of large
wings out of tissue paper and persuaded
Artist G. J. Taylor to paint them in
colors. When they were neatly fastened
ON the cockroach's back, he placed the
animal ON his desk and summoned
Schmidt. The amateur naturalist is
nearsighted and wears glasses
Schmidt, said Mr.. Gibson, "here's
new butterfly for your bug collector.
1t flew into the office just now"
By this time the cockroaoh was crawl
ing up the wall, handicapped by his pa
per wings. Schmidt approached it close
ly, and peering through his glasses ex-
claimed:
''Got in Himmel, Mr.. Geebson, das
ist Ungeheuerl'
''Yah, so 1 thought, returned Mr..
Gibson.
"Yah," said Schmidt, still squirting
through his glasses. "Vate a minute
for my glass.
OFF dashed Schmidt, and when he re-
turned he had large magnifying glass.
He focused it on the strange butterfly
and peered again. For moment he
was perplexed. He gently took wing
between his thumb and first finger and
off it came. He squinted harder, and a
look Of disgust settled on his features
He brushed the cockroach off the wall,
and with an explosive ''Donnerwetterl'
he left the Office.
''You can t suit some men, "said Mr..
Gibson thoughtfully, again pinching
the creases in his trousers. New York

Hard Battle With Fire at saltwater,
Minn.
SALTWATER, Mimi, Sept. 28. AT
l0:30 tonight fire broke out in the Still
water Manufacturing company's plant,
and the entire establishment was de.
stroyed. The fire is still raging and ad-
joining buildings are in great danger
with heavy wind, which gave the de-
partment terrible blazs to cope with.
At this hour it is impossible to estimate
the loss. as sparks are flying in every di-
rsction. Help was asked from st. Paul
and couple Of engines sent. The loss
will be very heavy.
At one time tonight it looked as If the
north end OF the town, surrounding the
prison, was doomed, but the fire depart
ment worked hard and eucceeded in
saving the thresher company's build
ings and the street railway power house.
Residences on the hillside, excepting
the residence of Isaac Staples. were to-
tally consumed. The damage to stock

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Sept. 28.-Com'
munication with Southern Florida il
being restored, and special dispatches t.
the Times Union relating to the damage
resulting from the West Indian cyclon,
tell the same story of houses wrecked
and crops destroyed, but no loss OF lif'
is reported.
At Tampa several large factories were
wrecked. The large three-story brick
factory of Ssidsnberg & Co. was de.
stroyed. The factory OF @. A. Joyce war
demolished, as were also the factories Of
Yobor & Mansrara and others. The
First Presby terian church and the Palace
hotel were badly damaged. Several
smaller structures were also demolished.
The total lose of buildings at Tampa is
estimated at $50, 900.
During the storm at Fernandina, the
British steamship Boston City and
Elmville collided and were badly
damaged. The steamer Edith was
driven ashore. The steamer Debary WAS
driven against the drawbridge and
wrecked. The steam yacht Maud was
sunk near Crescent City.
Today advices from st. Augustine,
which has been cut off since Tuesday,
were received. No lives were lost but
several houses were wrecked and the
loss will run up into the thousands.
Nearly all the windows in the city were
blown out and the houses were flooded
with water. The Ponce de Leon hotel
was damaged in this way. The loss on
the hotels furniture ia heavy. AT st.
Augustine the waves dashed over the
seawall and made rivers of the streets.
Many wharves were blown away.
Between Green Cove Springs and
Palatka on the st. Johns river, ~
wharves have completely disappeared.
Between Jacksonville and 81. Augustine
not telegraph pole was left standing.
The damage to the orange growers Ia
great. In large groves the ground is
completely covered with green oranges.
The loss is fully 20 per cent.
The east coast is still cut OF from COM
munication below ST. Augustine and
Palatka, though Communication may be
restored tonight. Every effort ia being
made to hear from Jupiter and Key

have been in the storm center. The
storm was as severe in the center OF the
state as on the coast. 1t struck Tampa
and travelled northeast to Jacksonville
and st. Augustine. At Orlando and
Ocals. interior points, several cells were
found after the storm passed. 1t is safe
to say the storm has cost Florida more
than $1,000,000, but no lives have been
Lost unless at Key West, Titusville,

Oratory md wit.

A curious thing about political ora
tory and Wits the side light got upon
one aspect Of it years ago in Buffalo -
Thus Mr. Cleveland is quoted by lis
tener. Zone morning quaint looking
old chap came into my Office and said
that he had read in the newspapers that
l was to speak at a mass meeting the
following night and wanted to know if
it were true. When / told him that
ii was 30, he revealed to me a new
method of gaining oratorical distino-
tion. He volunteered to interrupt nv
speech at stated intervals with remark
that should be agreed upon between us.
To this interjection was to retort wit
tily, and thus, as the old fellow pointed
out, would acquire reputation as a
witty speaker.
my first impression was that he was
amusing himself at my expense, but he
repeated to me several things could
reply to wittily and wanted me to pay
him roundly for helping me to reputa.
tion. But told him was Indifferent
to that kind Of fame, and he went away
disappointed. Not very long after that
was seated on stage listening to a
speaker, when who should arise in the
audience but my quaint visitor and
bawi out one Of the very things he
wanted me to pay him for interrupting
me with. The orator answered him with
the same retort that was offered the
privilege OF making, and the amdienoe
exploded into laughter, and heartily
joined in, but my amusement had not
the same foundation, fancy, as that of
the rest of the laughers And during
the rest of the evening the old fellow
made an occasional interruption from
different parts Of the house, and the re-
torts were of the same manufactured
scrt. I am trife skeptical now on tho

New YORK, Sept. 2S.-The following

World from John l.. Sullivan relative to
Fitzsimmons's challenge to Corbett:
WASHINGTON, Sept 81.
II Fitzsimmons and Corbett were
brought together you would see the
hottest fight in years. But I do Lot be-
lieve that Corbett wants to fight. He ia
making money fast and he dost not
want to take any chances. do not
care to express any opinion as to the
results il the two men were matched.
But it would be q fight and no mis-
take. Fitzaimmons is no quicker than
Corbett, but he knows allth fine points
OF the game. The difference in weight
would not make such great difference
as many people imagine. would like
to see Corbett and Fitzsimmons meet
Corbett would have work to do in that
fight. do not see how he can get away
from Fitzsimmon'e challenge. unless he
wants to admit that be does not care to
fight. JOHN L. SULLIVAN.
CoRBETT Is INDIGNANT.
