It WAS A MILLION DOLLAR BLOW
FLORIDA HARD HIT By TIE HUR-

About Twenty Per Cent. of the Orange
Crop Destroyed in Some Localities

Factories Wrecked.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 29.-Com.
munications with South Florida is being
restored and dispatches are pouring in
relative to damage done by West Indian
cyclone which ragged in the State Tues
day and Wednesday. The dispatches all
tell the same story of houses wrecked
and crops destroyed, but no loss Of life is
reported.
At Tampa several large cigar factories
are wrecken. The First Baptist church
and the palatial Tampa bay hotel were
badly damaged. The total loss on build
inRs at Tampa is estimated at $4,000.
During the storm at Fernandina, the
British steamship Boston City and Elm
vile collded and were badly damaged.
A dispatch from Palatka announces
great damage at that place to the river
craft. The steamer Princess was sunk
between Palatka and Picolata. She is
valued at $4,000. The steam yacht
Maude was wrecked near Crescent City.
At St. Augustine several houses were
wrecked and the losses will run up into
the thousands. Nearly all the windows
in the city were blown in and the houses
were flooded with water. The waves
dashed over the sea wall and made rivers
of the streets. Many wharves were
blown away. Between Green Cove
Springs and Palatka. on the St. Johns
river, II wharves have completely dis
appeared. Between Jacksonville and
st. Augustine not a telegraph pole was
left standing. The damage to the orange
growers is incalculable. Dispatches to
the Times Union say that in the large
groves the ground is completely covered
with green oranges. The loss will be
fully 20 per cent.
1t is safe to say that the storm has
cost Florida not less than million dol
lars, but no lives have been lost unless at
Key West, Titusvlle, Jupiter or other
sea coast points.

A member of the English parliament,
Florence O'Driscoll, has a lively paper
in The Century describing life and street
scenes in Canton. Mr. O'Drisooll says:
The food purveyors made a most
striking display; the fruiterers exposed
on fiat trays bananas, pineapples, mel
ons, figs, pears (the latter beautiful to
tho sight but hard and tasteless), to-
gether with many Chinese fruits, whose
shapes and tastes were familiar to me,
but whose names | knew not. Some OF
these fruits were most artistically peel
ed, pineapple peeling being quite an art.
A great variety of vegetables was offer
ed for sale. Among them were the white
shoots of the bamboo, which seemed to
be favorite article of diet. But what
use indeed may not this wonderful grass
be put? From it Cinnamon make almost
everything conceivable-hats, cloaks,
sheets, carpets, roofs, buildings, baskets,
chairs, carrying poles, fishing tools; the
list might be prolonged ad minimum.
| And then they eat it as we'll.
Preserving ginger in many forms was
a noticeable trade. The roots were
washed and left in water, as an English
cook treats potatoes before boiling them.
| A number of men and women holding
a two pronged fork in each hand sat
around q table with the tubs of peeled
ginger beside them They picked ginger
roots out of the water, and laying them
on the table pierced them all over very
ranidly with both forks until quite soft
The pierced roots were then put into
another tub, where they were boiled III
siruD. The ginger went through various
other minor processes until eventually
it was packed in the earthenware jars
in which it is sold in European shops.
The whole process was certainly a clean
one. and the smell of the aromatic root
in preparation was both grateful and
pleasant,

An Anecdote of Shelley.

The poet Shelley tells an amusing
story of the influence that language
"hard to be understood" exercises on
the vulgar mind. Walking near Covent
Garden, London, he accidentally jostled
against an Irish navy, who, being in
quarrelsome mood, seemed inclined to
attack the poet. A crowd Of ragged sym
pathizers began to gather, when Shell
ley, calmly facing them, deliberately
pronounced:

The effect was magical. The aston
istiea Irishman fell back. His friends
began to question him. what bar

have you been drinking?" and Shelley
walked away Rnmolosted.

received

The following extra ct, taken
from the New York Tribune while
Horace Greeley was editor of that
sheet, shows things were much the
same then as now in this regard at
least: at is strange how closely the
men read the papers. We never say
anything that anybody don't like but
we soon hear of it, and everybody
tells as about it. If, however, once
in while we say a good thing, we
never hear of that-nobody seems tc
notice it. We may pay some man a
dozen compliments. and give him a
dozen puffs, and he takes it as a trib-
ute to his greatness, and never thinks
it does him any good. But if we
happen to say anything this man
don't like or something he imagines
is reflection on his character, see
how quickly he flares up and gets ex-
cited about it. All our evils are duly
charged to US, but never, apparently,
do we get any credit for what good
we do"

DON'T CARRY BOOKS.

Into the Astor Library.
A young man strobe into the Astor
library yesterday afternoon, a good sized
book under his arm, and was making
straight for the staircase to the reading
room when the old man who serves as
hall porter waved him back by ges-
ture.
''Well, what's up with the old chap
anyway" he remarked to his friend.
"Come back here" said the porter,
Simultaneously pointing finger at some
unnoticed object.
"Well, I like that" answered the
youth, not following the direction of
the finger. II like you for a nice, polite

holding on to the vanishing coattails.

The notice is to tile effect that all
books carried into the library are to be
left in the porter's charge and called for
on coming out. The idea is to prevent
readers walking off with books of the
library. IF without one coming i'll and
with one going out, it's easy to know
they're appropriating library property.
Before the making Of this rule numer-
Gus books were removed, as it was not
easy to accost a reader and demand
whether or not q book in his possession
was his own or other peoples property.
