WORK OF "A HURRICANE
The Northwest Visited by a Destructive
Sunday Gale

ouhudy
CHICAGO. ILL.,, July S-One of the
most furious wind and rain storms
known in this vicinity for years passed
over the city about 6 O'Clock last even
ing, coming from the Northwest. The
day had been intensely hot. and there
were many people out on the lake in
sail boats.
Up to within twenty minutes of the
descent OF the storm upon the city the
sky had been clear and the sun shin
ing brightly. Suddenly heavy black
clouds began to gather in the north
west, and few minutes later ter
rifle gale of wind, accompanied by a
perfect flood of rain and furious thun-
der and lightning, was sweeping over
the city. Shade trees were broken off
close to the ground, awnings, signs,
NC, torn away. and much minor dam
age fdone in the city proper. The
storm moderated after about half an
hour, but the furious rain continued
for fully two hours, during which
time the streets were running with
water.
Many easements were flooded all
over the city. and in some instances
fire engines had to be called to pump
+ out stores. Several houses in the out
lying districts OF the city were struck
by lightning and seriously damaged

SOCIAL PURITY ADDRESSES.
Y. NJ. c. A. Meeting Next Sunday in
Browns Hall.

Browns Hall.
The Young Mems Christian ASSo-
citation work in these days embraces
the doctrine and effort in behalf of
the betterment of the human body as
well as the soul. This leads the lead
ers of the work to consider the ques-
ton of social purity as it effects young
men to be vital one and worthy of
special consideration at the hands of
religious workers as well as doctors of
medicine.
Evangelist Wright, now laboring
here, has some considerable repuGat ton
as a speaker on this subject, having
delivered such addresses at Savannah,
Ga, and other large cities, under the
auspices of the Y. M. @. A.
The religious service committee of
the local organization has therefore
secured the use of Browns Hall for a
afternoon, at 4:30 O'Clock, and has got
cen the consent of Rev. Mr.. Wright
to make such an address on personal
purity.
Prof. Fillmore has also been asked
to lead the Y. M. G. A. male chorus
of about fifty voices, which is again
being organized for this special oc
caSiOn.
Secretary Paul will have general
charge of the meeting and will con-
duct the services, with many other
christian workers and ministers par
ticipating.
The invitation committee Of the
Association will distribute invitation
cards throughout the city to all men
whom they can reach.

Telling Age by the Couture.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
The common objection among
woman-kind to letting their age be
known is not shared by the ladies OF
Japan, who actually display their
cycle of years in the arrangement oil
their hair Girls from 8 to Is wear
their hair interlaced with red Grape
in semicircle around the head, the
forehead being left free with curl at
each side. From the ages of Is to
30 the hair is dressed very high on
the forehead and gathered up at the
back in the shape of butterfly or
fan, with twistings of silver cord,
and perhaps decoration Of colored
balls. BEYOND the mile stone of 80
a woman twists her hair around a
shell pin placed horizontally at the
back of the head. Quite differently
again, widow arranges her couture
and the initiated are able to tell at a
glance whether she desires to marry
again or not.

The Best Paying Mine.
Mining and Scientific Press.


The biggest paying gold mine In
the world is now being worked in
Wall street, New York. Originally
surface formation, it has develop
ed into well defined ledge of unu,
sual size and is being worked for all
it is worth. No mining machinery
is bought, and there are no assess
ments. Last month dividend of
100000 was declared on one
weeks operations, in EDITION to the
regular profits. Neither the Utica
of Angels nor the Kennedy of Ama>
dor can compare with the profit
derived from the wall street mine
and the wonderful yield of the Wits
waters rand is only pocket when
compared with the freest Of free
gold, 900 fine, that is produced in
the auriferous workings of the clever
Eastern syndicate. In after years,
when the marvellous tales OF 40 are
told to unbelieving ears, it may be
that the miners of '94 will be but a
myth, but at present they are reals
ity. Those mines are monopoly
and are protected by the highest
officials; whenever the profits ere
not up to the ayaricious desires of
the participants in the scheme, a
little enlivener known as "a bond
issue" makes merry the mind of the
manipulatOrs. 1t is not wild cat
mine, this gold discovery of Wall
street, but it is Il dishonest method
of mining, and deserves suppression.
A strict compliance with the nation
al law (Which in this case runs in
parallel lines with common sense)
would summarily end this swindling
mine, which discredits the Govern
ment and those OF the Governments
servants who make such methods
possible

Asheville correspondence Detroit Tribune.
Asheville and the country round
about were the familiar stamping
ground of that wise. witty and
great-hearted statesman. Zebulon B.
Vance. The people of Buncombe
county were his friends. He knew
them by name; and the happiest
days of his life were spent in his
mountain home near Asheyille
During the latter days of his life he
foresaw the political changes that
were coming in North Carolina, and
he looked serenely towards the in
evitable. When President Cleveland
attempted to punish him for his free
silver views by nominating for inter
nal revenue collector his enemy,
Kope Elias, Senator Vance took up
the fight. Already he saw his end
approaching. and a part of his cam
paign against the obnoxious nomi-
nation was conducted while he was
lying in the darkened committee
room of privileges and elections. He
won-and died. When he fell, it was
to his party as the fall of a noun

, the slope, bringing an avalanche in
its train. A Republican Sena or

Except his politics." they add by

of one of that party.

PLEASANT LAWN PARTY.
Mr.. Pleasant Poindexter, of Donnaha,
Model Farmer.
Correspondence of the Sentinel.

q MODEL Farmer.
Correspondence of the Sentinel.
SHORE, July 8.-The lawn party at
East Bend last Saturday evening
was a veIitable event of unalloyed
enjoyment. 1t was charitable
occasion given for the purpose of
realizing funds for the benefit of the
new nj. E. church of that place. At
night an elegant programme was
arranged by Prof. j. T. Benbow and
greeted fairly filled chapel. Many
| OF the selections were surprisingly
beautiful, among which was a superb
and dramatic recitation by Miss
Alice Davis and a catchy and grace
full recitation and pantomime by
Miss Laura Benhow. By request the
entertainment will be repeated in the
Academy chapel July Goth.
DR.. Williams and Miss Jennie
Harper, Mr.. Willie Harper and Miss
Susie Wright, all of Lewisville, were
over and took in the lawn party
much to the pleasure of their Yadkin
friends.
Mr.. Pleasant Poindextar, of
Donnaha, N. c., is one OF the best
! and most progressive farmers in this
section. He never fails to have all
kinds of grain and lots of hay for
sale, at the same time reserving a
large quantity for home consump
ton. Mr.. Poindexter also might be
termed an expert stock raiser, as no
finer stock along the Yadkin can be
found than can be seen on his PLAN
tation. He has some fine milk COWS
now ready for market that are
worth twice the amount of ordinary
cows. He has pigs and chickens and
stock of all kinds which are fine and
pretty and all of the very best rank
and blood. In short he is model
farmer.

Valuable Prizes offered for the Fire
mems Tournament.

hch 1OuEn1IhcHt.
DR.. j. w. Griffith, secretary of the
State Firemen's Association, always
an earnest worker in anything he I'M
dertakes, has this year beat the record
in preparing attractions and induce
ments for the annual tournament.
Heretofore grab races have been a
side issue for the reason that induce
ments were not strong enough.
This year the prize is something to
be sought for, a solid gold badge, do
mated by the Gerta Percha Rubber
Mfg Co., of New York, and valued at
$50. 1t is in the shape OF a maltese
cross, with a place left for engraving
the name Of the winners.
He also has gold badge for the
hook and ladder race, offered by the
Eureka Fire Works Co., of New York,
and fine lantern to the foreman of
the company having the best uniform
ed men, offered by the Fabric Fire
Hose Company, also of New York.
1t looks like the tournament this
year would eclipse all previous events.
Success to the boys.

Something Wrong Somewhere.

The pleasing announcement is
made that once more the gold re-
serve in the treasury is up to the
one hundred million mark. This
result has been brought about under
the contract with the Belmont
Morgan syndicate. The question
vent the withdrawal of gold? If a
syndicate can prevent the withdraw
al of gold it must in some way con.
troll the money market, and if it does
why can't it deplete the treasury at
will? 1t seems to us from these facts
that a few bankers are able to con-
troll the finances of sixty five millions
of people. There is something wrong

"WHAT are flies good for?' is a
question that is often asked by those
who regard them as only nuisances-
1t appears from the following
statement, which is going the rounds,
that they served Il good purpose in
the early history of our country ;
'Mr. Jefferson used to say in his later
years that the great Declaration of
Independence would never have been
signed so soon but for the fact that
there was a livery stable near the
hall where the Congress sat. The
weather was very hot, windows had
to be left open, and from the stable
came hungry swarms of flies, which
tickIed the honorable gentlemen s
silk stcckinged legs until they were
almost driven frantic. Men who
might have kept up the debate for
weeks were ready 20 sign anything to
escape the fiies!'
