LASHED BY A STORM.
Great Damage Done by the Breakers
at Coney Island.


at Coney Island.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The World this
morning says: Cuney Island has been
lashed by a storm for the past twenty-four
hours such as it has not experienced since
the memorable one of 1885.
The rain of Wednesday accompanied by
a hard driving northeasterly wind started
the music. Ahigh tide followed and with
the latter a ground swell, one such as
Couey Island has rarely experienced made
things unusually lively.
1t was high tide shortly after 4 p NJ
yesterday. AT that hour the ocean was
as placid as baby asleep; but suddenly
the great combers developed into high
rolling waves of green. which as they
approached the shore broke upon the
beach or against the bulkbead in
the front of the Oriental, Manhattan and
Brighton Beach hotels with a tremend-
Gus roar. Each receding wave carried
away with it several feet OF beach, dig
ging up piles and Dulkheads and under
mining the small payilions near the ocean.
Between Sea Breeze avenue and the
ocean lays strip of Brooklyn City prop
erty controlled by the Park Department.
Yesterday an engineer was sent from
Brooklyn to find out how the property
could be saved from further inroads of the
sea.
The engineer discovered there was moth
ing left worth mentioning save Sea Breeze
avenue and very little of that The rest
of this beautiful beach had been carried
away by the breeze aud added to the ac-
cumulation of sand known as Rockaway
Bar. which year by year is approaching
nearer and nearer TO Sandy Hook.

aim being to divert the enemy's attention,
so that the other three columns might
encounter less opposition in their real

the left or westerly face of the town
seems to have been left open for the
enemy's retreat.
The Sakk-nyon (southeasterD) column

daybreak, just as the Mixed Brigade had
gone into action, and the Gensan column
from the easD was opening fire from its
artillery. The enemy. thus assailed on

the circumstances. but the men in forts l

the fight. 1t says that the japanese we're
ferried over the Yalu River at Sukochn at

thrown up to oppose the landing of the
Japanese force, but slight deviation en-
aDled the japanese force to cross the river
and land without opposition. The Chinese
fed after the first few rounds were fired at
them. The japanese captured the works

The Work ofa Convict.

Daniel Titus, a convict in the Mon tana penitentiary at Deer Lodge, has sent to a Kansas City attorney a cane fashioned by himself during his idle hours which is a marvel of artistic work The stick is light, straight piece of beechwood A gold head or naments the top, but this is discount ed by the remarkable wood carving. Convict Titus, with his penknife. has carved upon the slender stick faith ful representations of the faces of every American president from Washington to Harrison.
 Directly below the ornamental gold headpiece the convict carved the American eagle and the motto of the United States, "E Pluribus Unum. 9 A shield with the bars and stars in the center, an excellent likeness of the Father of His Country is next, and then follow the faces of all the presidents. The stick was evidently taken when green. The outer bark was polished and cut away to the sapwood. This was cut and carved in thousands of delicate hairlines. and then the wood was cut away. leaving each face on a raised surface. The work is as delicately done as the finest pen and ink work, and that Convict Titus is an artist as we'll as genius is attested by the faithful representations. Kansas City Star.

EnSland,. rr,atn,en, of sbrubs.

One must go to England to see our neglected Towering laurel. dogwOod and spicebush as fiourishing luxuri- ant in park and terrace, the orna- ments of high class gardening. We can judge little of their capabilities of beauty from the wild specimens crowded in swamps and woods But sometimes one comes on a wild apple tree on the open hillside or a white laurel in a favored spot, and their beauty of outline. their wealth uf blossom, are never to be forgotten.
 The loveleSt memory of my cid home is the wild crab apple tree set out from the forest. the soul of music transformed to color, in spurred bough, rich, shining leafage and clouds of blushing pink bud and rosy blossom. The blooming of such tr, es is a festival to celebrate, as the Jap anese hold a national feast at the Towering of their cherry orchar,is. And the wild apple Is beautiful In form. in leaf, in flower and red frl-it age into November. when its dense. thorny sprays form picturesque pen cilings under the snow and frost all winter.
 The beauty of early northern woods is the snow of the June berry, or shadblow, its quaint native name noting the date of its blossom. The dropping white blossoms, with pinky tracts, relieved by the silvery, downy green of the unfolding leaves and the refined coloring, make it even finer than the tinged pink, white and green of the Japanese hydrangea.- - Garden and Forest.

As.,.ro......an- n-,a.

At a recent wedding in Washing ton the bride showed more than the usual lack of trepidation. The church was filled with brilliant company, and from the moment of her en- trance she knew herself to be the cy- nosure of every eye, but she went through the ceremony as if being married were an everyday occur renee to be regarded with indiffer- ence if not with positive disdain The climax was reached when, lean ing on her husbands arm, she passed through the doorway leading to the vestibule.
 Just inside the door stood a group of friends-young women who had arrived too late to be accommodated with seats beyond theFibbon. Paus- ing on the threshold, knowing full we'll that every eye in the church was bent upon her, the bride deliber- ately leaned toward her friends and whispered loud enough to be heard by the bystanders, m chaperon you girls next season.
