The new buildings that have gone up
in this city within twelve months are great
enough in number to knock the pessim-
ism out of a confirmed growler. In the
southern part of the city especially there
has been considerable building, and many
of the houses are as neat cottages as are
to be found anywhere. 1t seems, how
ever, that there is still room for neat and
cosy places that can be rented for SIS
TO SIS month. 1t is noticed that a great
er proportion of the houses that are vacant
are those that rent for $40 to $50 month.
A few weeks ago two or three of the lower
priced houses-really neat and convenient
places--were built in the southern part of
the city. The demand for them was so
urgent that fires were kept burning in the
rooms day and night for several days in
order to hasten the drying of the mortar,
plaster and paint.

It is said that after the statue of Dan
sel Webster was set up in Washington the
other day an old man with no preten-
sions to cultivation in art was seen to ex-
anime it critically. and to mutter to him
self and shake his head. 1t was learned
that he was a tailor, and had measured
Mr.. Webster in Boston for the last pair
of trousers he ever wore. At or about
that time the Old style of trousers with
barndoor fronts were going out OF fash
ION, and he is quite sure Mr.. Webster or
dered his trousers made with the perpen~
dicular row of buttons. The old gentle
man objected to the sculptor's failure to
note the fact in his statue that Mr.. Web
ster,a leader Of thought, had lived through
the barndoor period and into the era Of
new style trousers. However, as Mr.
Webster became famous in the era of the
barndcor, it is perhaps the correct thing
that the style should be perpetuated in
the statue. 1t is remarked By a Washing
ton paper. by the way. that Senator
Palmer Of Illinois has not yet adopted
the modern style.

Notwithstanding the cold wave did Flor
ida such great damage, it was not an
unmxed evil. 1t was veritable boon to
thousands of people in the northwest and
north. The wheat crops of the northwest
would have been ruined while yet in the
seed had it not been for the heavy snow
fall. Snow is the very life of winter wheat
in Nebraska and the Dakotas. And in
the northwestern numbering districts thou
sands of families are in a measure de-
pendent upon the snowfall. Without snow
and ice the winter logging in Michigan
and Minnesota would be a failure. In
New England the intense cold will be
worth $l,OOO.O00 to the ice harvesters. The
best ice crop in five years will be gathered
and stored. The Pennsylvania, Iowa,
Ohio and West Virginia coal miners will
he benefited. too, through the increased
consumption of coal In the south also
the zero weather will be of benefit 10 us.
There were no fever germs left alive after
that snap.

scene. The rough-and-rcody sailors
entered into contest of genera
sity and heroic self denial. II
will wait for the last boat-have
no one TO mourn me- said one.
Another cry was heard, "You that
have wives and children get into
the boats.
The brave fellows refused to be
first. The same spirit actuated all
officers and men alike. They
were cool and self-possessed. The
captain and his officers surround
ed the venerable admiral on the
bridge. The latter insisted on
being the last to leave the ship.
Admiral" said Lieutenant
Junco, "if your Excellency
wishes, you can be lowered to II
boat" which he declined, saying:
Thanks, my son; although aged
l can help myself Then the
admiral addressed the crew:
Haste men, let all save them
selves
The ship was sinking under
them into the deep waters of Eel
MORO. Almost by force the adj
miral was placed in boat. Lieu
tenant Garcia Junco still remained
on board, when general cry
went mp that the ship was sink
ing. The third boat, containing
the admiral, was still alongside,
when an effort was made to clear
her. When but few yards away
the gallant ship gave a final lurch
and disappeared amid II sea of
foam. The suction caused by the
sinking of so large a ship drew
everything neal by, including the
boat containing the admiral, who,
with all the crew, were lost.
Scenes at such moments are simp-
ly indescribable. The surface of
the water was studded with heads
struggling in the waves sweeping
I'D from the AT antlc.
The air was filled with shrieks
prayers and CT es-fearful, heart
rending cries - some shouting
farewell to mothers, wives and
children. This solemn aud dread
full scene was made simply awful
by the appearance of many
sharks. The harbors and coast Of
Cuba are known for its maneat-
ing sharks.
Some of the unfortunate men
were seized by the legs and drawn
under, while the others sank
beneath the waves. While this
fearful scene was being enacted
the brave and gallant captain of
the Mortera, Jose de Ninolas, had
lowered all of his boats, and forty
five officers aud men were rescued
that, but for his assistance, would
have been drowned within
hun lred yards of a great and pop
ulous city. All were loud in their
praise of Capttn Vinolas. In
drawing this narrowing scene to a
close the gallant captain of the
Barcajztegui must not be forgot
ten. He saw to the embarking of
every man, and was last on the
ship. AS she gave the final lurch
he jumped into the sea and dis
appeared in the suction that drew
under the ships boat and crew.
