some Importance, some claim to human
interest, even though that claim IL not

One Of Truths correspondents grave

Town Wiped Out.

SAN Francisco: On the last trip oil
the Pacific steamship OriZaba up the
Gulf OF California the officers and crew Of
the vessel were surprised to find one of
the ports they make regularly wiped out.
When the ship reached the mouth of'the
river Culiacan, in the state of Sinaloa, the
little mining town of Altata, which had
stood there on the OriZaba's last trip, was
gone. Not building was left standing.
This was one of the results of the terrible
storm which played havoc on the main
land coast of the gulf September IL and
19.
The storm was sort of compost af-
fair, taking the nature of tidal wave and
cloudburSt. Torrents rushed down from
the hills back of Altata and met the tidal
wave, carried in from the sea, and the
town was oblterated. Many of the mines
located inland from the coast were flooded
by the cloudburst. The loss of life was
slight The Altatans are now sleeping in
the streets or rudely constructed huts.

Everyone in Wilmington knew Of her

get over her failing, but she never did.
"Ihere was no reason why she should
appropriate what did not belong to her,

Spain Ready to Give I'm.

New YORK: A Herald's Cadiz, Spain
dispatch says: "If Spain has not put down
the insurrection in Cuba by the first of
next March it is the intention of the Gov
ernment to give up the struggle and let
the island CO."
This determination is an open secret
among those who are close to the Gov
ernment, and it is said that the policy is
being adopted of exaggerating the mag
nitude of the trouble in the Philippines
with view of preparing the people for
the ultimate design of letting Cuba go.
BY way Of further confederation of this
estimate of the situation it may be re-
marked that, while Spain is sending 200,-
900 troops to Cuba who are young and
undisciplined, she is carefully keeping
$4,000 well disciplined, efficient soldiers,
who may be available in case of an out
break, at home. She is also keeping in

that the Government should act before

found in trunk which has been held as
security in the Saratoga Hotel for nearly
three years. The documents have been

and he will make an investigation, as the
whole affair is surrounded with mystery.
Ali the papers are made out in the name
of j. Lawrence Schoolcraft, whose

Prince of Criminals,

JUNEAU, Wis: Every hour develops
new stealings by w. L. Rambusch, the
absconding president of the Citizens
Bank of this city, and self confessed
iswindler and embezzler. Investigations
thus far show him to have been one of the
smoothest swindlers the country has seen.
Besides being guilty of thefts amount tins
to $4,000 he was also an incendiary,
having burned the courthouse to cover up
his tracks," Self murder is also be-
lieved 10 have been added to this list.
This city is filled with lawyers and VIC
Tins from far and near who are victims of
Rambusch. The lowest estimate of his
stealing is placed at 500, 600, and this sum
will surely be enlarged for Rambusch had
dealings with hundreds of people.

How to Hang Pictures.

Do you remember the time when ev-
cry wellregulated parlOr wall showed
pictures arranged in solemn triCS, q
large one in the center of each group,
fianked by two smaller ones? How the
good people who hung their works of
art in that style generation ago would
stare at the medley arrangement Of
modern pictures. High art in picture
hanging requires an arrangement
which at first seems as purpOselesS as.
that Of the pieces in a crazy quilt. but
which study shows to be scientifically
proper. Size and symmetry of framing
are no longer the sole tests of the fit
ness Of pictures to be hung together.
Nowadays each photograph, engraving
or whatever it is is placed where the
light will fall upon it in the way best
calculated to bring out the lights in the
picture. There is one hall in mind
where the wall above the wainscoting
is literally covered with etchings ar
ranged with very little regard for size
or subject, but producing a charming
effect because of the happy way in
which the lights strike them.
Pictures should not be hung so high
that the neck of the observer will be of
necessity craned into stiffness in order
to view them. Large pictures. with
well-defned figures or scenes. may be
hung higher than small ones. which re-
quire close scrutiny to define them. Oil
paintings should not be hung in close
proximity to colorless prints or photo
graphs. The rich effects of the colored
pictures will detract from the charm of
the others. For the same reason oils
and water colOrs should not be placed
together, as the lighter and less gor-
geous coloring of the latter will suffer
by comparison with the former.
