NOTED CHICAGOAN DEAD.

Gen. Joseph Terrence Passes Away-His
Career.
Chicago, Nov. 2.-Gen. Joseph Tor
renee died Saturday night at his home,
IS Bellevue place, after an acute illness
of two weeks. He had not been a we'll
man, however, for two years. Bright's
disease was the cause of his death.
[Gen. Terrence was So years Of age The
when. as mere boy, he began working in
a Pennsylvania blast furnace at Sharps-
burg. He became blacksmith and was
an assistant foreman when II years old.
He made study Of his trade until ne mas
tered it practically and scientifically.
When the war broke out he enlisted in an
Ohio regiment of volunteers and went to
the front. At the battle Of Perryville he
was wounded and was honorably dis
charged, returning to Ohio to lead the
party which captured Morgan. the notori-
Gus guerilla. At the close Of the war he
entered the furnace construction business
and five years later came to Chicago to
take charge Of the Chicago iron works. In
1870 he became connected with the Joliet
Iron & Steel company. and in 1881 organized
the Joseph Il. Brown Iron & Steel COM
pany. The company was finally absorbed
by the Calumet iron and steel works and
Gen. Terrence became its consulting en-
gineer. Shortly afterwards he was made
president Of the South Chicago Western
Indiana railway. and later he organized
the Chicago & Calumet Terminal Rail-
road company. He also organized the CAL
umet Canal and Improvement company,
the Standard Steel & Iron company and
founded the city Of East Chicago. He was
also credited with having first solved the
problem Of track elevation. and with that
end in view formed the Chicago Elevated
Terminal company in 1891. and acquired
about SS.000.000 worth Of terminal property
in Chicago, which was afterwards dis
posed of to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railroad company. Gen. Terrence re-
ceived his title in 1877 when Gov. Cullom

Part of Texas Is Visited by q Disastrous
Cyclone. @
Sherman, Tex, Oct. ga tornado
originated about 5:15 p. m. Wednes-
day near Pennington, 16 miles south
west of Sherman. After forming, the
tornado took northeasterly course,
passing about three miles east of Sher-
man and was seen by hundreds of peo-
pie in this city. The first destructive
work of the storm was noted about IL
miles southwest of Sherman, where it
demolished tenant house on the farm
of George Duke. No one was hurt at
that place. and the tornado rose from
the earth, striking again at point
about four miles southeast of Sherman,
where it demolished tenant house on
the farm of Jim Ferris, occupied by
family named Hays. Four members Of
this family were seriously hurt, and
it is reported that Mr.. Hays back is
broken. Several persons telephoned
from suburban residence in that
neighborhood asking that searchers be
sent out to look for persons who are
missing. Requests We're also made for
physicians, bandages, stimulants and
other articles necessary to care for the
wounded. Reports of the number
wounded are very indefinite, as it was
pitch dark soon after the passing of the
storm. A man who was in the Farris
field is among the missing. Manager
Mcbride, of the Western Union rele-
graph company, sighted the storm when
it was just south of the city, and wired
the Denison Office to that effect. Deni-
son is IL miles south of here, and in 80
minutes Mr.. Mcbride received a mes
sage stating that the storm was pass
ing east of Denison. This would make
it's speed near rs miles an hour. James
Barnett saw the track of the storm. He
says it was not more than so feet wide,
but that it plowed up the wheat in
a field which it passed through. A re-
port has just come in that Lovings'
schoolhouse, four miles east of Sher-
man, was unroofed. The sky lighted
up brilliantly during the passage of the
storm, but darkness followed.

Atthe present time there is in London
only one electric underground road,
but this has been such a conspicuous
success that six new systems have been
authorized, two of which are being con-
structed. These railways will be tun-
neled on the "Greathead shield sys-

meath the pavement of London, and no
sign of their progress will be visible to
those who use the streets, excepting on
the sites of the proposed stations,
where shops and houses are being de-
molished. The public attention just
now is directed principally to the Cen
trail London railway, which will run
from Shepard's Rush to Liverpool
street, distance of six and one-fourth
miles. There will be IA stations along
the route, the trains stopping at each
station and running at intervals of two
and one-half minutes. The cost of con-
struction and equipment, which is cal
culated at $2,5OO,O00 per mile, aggre-
gates total of $17,5OO,0OO At some

Fruit as a Me dicine

Very few people are aware of the
medicinal qualities of grapes; but these
they possess. The pulp is nutritious
and the juice contains sugar, fannie
acid, bitartrate of potassium, tartrate of
calcium, common salt and sulphate of
potassium. Without doubt, the woman
who cultivates the habit of eating a
great deal of fruit is the gamer of health
and appearance. The grape fruit, or
shaddock, so called from its discoverer,
Lieutenant Shaddock, or to mention its
soft Chinese name, pumelo, Is highly
priced by those who live in malarial
localities. 1t is a charming rival to
quinine and boneset and is driving
them from the field She who eats her
grape fruit from spoon from the nat
ural cup, or relishes it served as salad,
may gladden. her heart with the re fleet
ion that she is not only pleasing her pal
ate, but benetitting her health. Like
oranges and lemons, the grape fruit has
great medicinal virtues, If you are of a
bi i:ous temperament, eat grape fruit; If
fever threatens, eat grape fruit, but in
this latter case do so only at the advice
of physician, as there may be certain
tendencies which the grape fruit would
only aggravate. The complaint is often
made that this fruit is extremely bitter
and unpleasant. 1t is only the white
inner rind which is So and this should
be carefully removed.

The shoulders should be broad and
