DEATH AND DEVASTATION.
A Fearful Wind Storm Strikes Lit
tie Rock Causing Death and
Destruction.

Today's issue of the Arkansas
Gazette makes the following an
nouncement of a terrible cyclone,
which visited Little Rock last even
ing:
A cyclone of gigantic proportions
struck this city at 1886 o'clock last
evening and left disaster in IFS
wake A brief but heavy rain pre-
ceded and followed the work of the
wind.
The storm came from the South
west and swept nearly everything
in its path. Luckless pedestrians
and teamsters hastily sought hav-
ems of safety, but the velocity of
the wind was terrific, and the list of
the injured is consequently large.
Roofs, signs and trees were toss
ed about like paper. Some of the
most substantial brick buildings in
the city we're either demolished or
badly damaged. The path of the
cyclone was not more than 200 feet
wide, and its course was of a zigzag
nature.
The drenching rain kept many
from venturing Immediately out to
learn the extent of the damage,
and those who did sally forth, par
ticularly in that part OF the dam
aged district on Main street from
Markham to Third, found the
streets in an almost impossible con-
dition. Tin roofs, awnings, posts,
wires and bricks we're scattered
about promiscuously.
The duration of the cyclone prop
er was not over three minutes and
in that time many thousand dollars
in property we're destroyed in this
city.
Intense solicitude for the safety
Of their wives and children seized
business men who were in their
places of business at the time OF
the storm. Their anxiety was
heightened by the fact that piles
of debris and loosened wires filling
the streets, added to the heavy and
binding rain, rendered pedestrian
ism extremely dangerous, if not out
of the question altogether.
The police department perform
ed the work of a relief corps and
the patrol wagon was utilized for
conveying injured persons to the
city hall as fast as they could be
discovered. Rumors of widespread
fatalities were thick and served to
cause anxiety among the relatives
and friends of those reported to
have been injured, MANY of these
rumors we're exaggerated however,
in being passed about. Pursuant
to these reports, crowds of people
fooked to the police headquarters
in quest of definite information
touching the identity of the wound
ed. Those persons who ventured
out we're careful to avoid the side
walks, which were made dangerous
by stray bricks and loosened signs
continually falling.
The above account of the disaster
is substantantially the same as

popular victory the result to the Legislature was
even more astounding. With only three Democrats
in the House where they now have forty-one. and
only two in the Senate where they now have four
teen they will indeed be lonesome. The Democratic
members elected to the House are from West Green
witch New-Shoreham and North Providence. The
West Greenwich and New-Shoreham members rarely
eyer show themselves within the classic confines of
the State House: and therefore II will remain the
duty of Arthur Cushing, reading clerk OF the

dence to represent in his own person the entire
Democratic minority incidentally it may be said
that Mr. Gushing receives s. a day for his present

There has been result approXlmatlng this Demo-
cratic disaster in the Legislature since 1867 when in
the Know Nothing excitement, Smith Peckham, of
Glocester was the only Democrat elected 10 the
General Assembly. The Republicans carried Gloces-
ter this year. Some Democratic politicians and
newspapers on the day after the election sought to
break the force OF the terrible disaster which had
overaken their party by attributing It largely to the
nurchase OF votes the part OF the Republicans.
But the Republican gains were too large and too
uniform In every section of the State to enable these
politicians and newspapers TO have any color for
their claim The Republican gains were as large or
larger in towns where the Democrats made no con-
test for the General Assembly. as in towns which
were considered in doubt, and where the Republican
erorts were concentrated. On the face of a plurality
of nearly 1000 for Secretary OF State and OF
majority in Grand Committee of %, that talk about
doodle influencing the election becomes mere idle

The result Of Wednesdays election demonstrates
that the Republicans will easily win back both seats
in Congress which have been held by Democrats for
four wears; and therefore Congressman Page who
voted against the Wilson bill. and announced his
retirement from politics. was even wiser than his
day and generation gave him credit for; and he
understood the temper of his district far better than

HOW TO MOUNT STAMPS.
The Hinge System Is the Best and the
Most Satisfactory. ........

The Hinge System Is the Best and the
Most Satisfactory. ........
Some years ago stamp collecting had
not reached the dignity which 1T has
now. Then it was looked upon as
mere craze; now it is classed as a pur-
suit with the search for rare old books
and pictures. 1t is something which is
especially interesting to boys and girls,
and, when it is conducted in a system
attic way, valuable results are obtained.
1t is true that Juvenile stamp collec-
tors may make mistakes in their work,
but experience is good teacher, and
they will soon learn to distinguish be-
tween the valuable and the worthless
of those that pass through their handa
The famous advice as to how to cook
hare was, first to catch it; and SO it
may be said that, in stamp collecting,
one essential point is to secure stamps
that are perfect and keep them from
being damaged. 1t seems an easy mat
ter, after having secured an album, to
stick the stamps into it; and yet much
depends on how this is done.
To begin with, any pieces of paper
adhering to the backs of the stamps
must not be roughly torn off, but
should be carefully removed, and this
is best effected by floating them, face
upwards, in water, until the paper can
be easily peeled away from them.
Care should always be taken that the
face of the stamp does not get wet, for,
although many kinds may be plunged
into water without injury, some, such
as those of Russia, are printed in ink
that will readily wash off.
When all pieces of paper have been
removed and the stamps are quite dry
they are ready to be mounted in the
album, and the best method of doing
this is by what is known as the hinge
system Gig. y.
A strip of thin paper B C an inch
long and rather narrower than the
stamp, A, has its length gummed to the
