AROUND WASHINGTON.
Storm Does Great Damage Throughout
the Surrounding Country.

WASHINGTON, Oct. I.-Reports re-
ceived from the suburban towns about
Washington show that great damage
was done throughout the surrounding
country. At the Catholic university,
just outside the city, the dOrmitory, in
process of construction, was demol-
ished. At Brookland, a few miles out,
the town hall was partially destroyed
and many other buildings were un-
rooted and otherwise damaged. In this
city the papal legation was unroofed
and the Chinese legation was damaged
about 1900. Communication by tele-
graph and telephone with the outside
world is absolutely stopped Reports
from Rockville, Md, and other small
places show that
The Storm Did Great Damage
but no loss of life was reported. Houses
were unroofed and trees blown down
in all the smaller towns outside of
Washington. Great damage is re-
ported in the farming district, where
all grains in stack or shock have been
strewn over the land. Many barns
have been blown down. The White
House was slightly injured by the
storm, a portion of the copper roofing
being stripped off and other damage
done. In the beautiful grounds sur
rounding the house, 20 of the splendid
trees, some of great age and of histor-
ical associations, were completely lev
elled, while fully 90 of the surviving
trees suffered the loss of their tops and
principal branches and are permanently

christian Citizenship" was the sub
ject of Rev. Mr.. Poteat's address at the
mems meeting yesterday afternoon in
Warner hall. He said in substance:
Christ did not call men unto Himself
to shut them up in safe from the con-
tact of the world. Christian citizenship
has not at it's foundation selfishness.
II is not for personal good and partlci-
patton in the spoils of office that Chris
tian men so into politics, but Tor the
good of the public life. The man who
has this at heart does not call about
him A, B and c, and pack caucus, so
that he may be exalted to office. lie
does not look at the citys life in that
way. He says rather: L am going to
become factor in the city's life with a
view of making myself felt for the good
of the city He sees the weak spots in
the body polite, and he sets about to
make amends in it. Another character
istic in Christian citizenship is indie
pendence.. 1t is not concerned in the
welfare of the so-called boss. The man
who exercises Christian citizenship
owes no allegiance to these men. A
certain city has nominated three men
for mayor. Their names are Hewitt
Bradley and Farnsworth. The mar
