 A countrynan of Goethe gives an in stance of the difficulty foreigner has with the English language. He in- vitcd ont to dinner soon after his ar rival in England and was dcsirous of saying something in a very pleasant way, and made use of the following eX- prcssion: Will you have the blooming kindness to-" etc. He used it in the sense that the word "blooming" is used in German as being something very charming and beautiful, little knowing what havoc slang has played with the word in England. He was absolutely at loss to understand why everybody was so utterly mortified at what he thought was an extremely nice ex preSsion. *. g. .,,.45 .. #

First Reports Of the Storm Were Very
Meagre. s
* CHICAGO, May 28.-One Of the great
est disasters of recent years over
whelmed the city Of st. Louis in the
shape Of q cyclone which began shortly
after o'clock and for 30 minutes tore
its awful way through the city with q
velocity of over so miles an hour. AL
though reports from there are very mea-
gre owing to the almost total destruc-
ton Of the telegraph wires, it seems
certain that the number Of dead and
wounded viii amount to fully 1000,
and the damage done to millions Of
dollars. The city hospital, which for
tunately survived the storm, is filed to
overaowing with mangled men, women
and children, and the morgue within
two hours after the end Of the storm
was so full Of corpses that it was neces-
sary to provide other quarters for the
reception Of the dead. In addition to-
those who were killed in their houses
and in the streets, hundreds Of dead are
Beneath the wasers Of the Mississippi.
OF all the steamers ON the levee when
the STORM broke out, but one Is now
af1oat. All the others have gone down,
in many instances every soul on board
being lost, and in others, not over two
or three, being able to reach . place Of
safety. Among the boats destroyed d
the excursion steamer Great Republic,
one Of the largest steamers on the lower
rive. Not man escaped from her
and it ii said she was crowded with ex-
cursionists when the storm came up.
The center Of the city isa wreck.
Many buildings have been demolished
and others partially wrecked. The
streets are utterly impossible to street
cars, and in many places progress on
foot is q matter Of great difficulty. To
add to the horrors Of the night, the
electric light plants were rendered i'm
capable Of service and the gas lamps are
also shut of,
Leaving the city In Total Darkness.
Fire also broke out in several portions
Of the city and the fire department. was
unable to make an effective fight be-
cause Of the choked up condition at the
streets and the large number Of firemen
who were engaged in the imperative
work Of rescuing the dead and wounded.

FIGHTING { 4 OVER MONEY
Prohibitionist Convention 81
Pittsburg Attended With
Much Disorder.
Contest Began Earlyin the Ses-
sion and Continued the
Entire Day.
Silver Faction Won the First
Victory by Electing the
Chairman.

PTrrsBURa, May ~. -Uproarious and
caustio in the extreme was the first
day 3 session Of the seventh national
Prohibition convention. At least one
half the time the delegates were in con-
fusion and on several occasions the pre-;
siding officer had to call upon the band
to play in order to quiet the disorder.
Il was fight between the broad
gauge or free silver faction and the sim
gle issue or gold standard delegates
from the East. The fight was precipi-
tated few moments after the conven-
ton was called to order, and at both the
morning and afternoon sessions things
in general ran riot The free silver fac
ton carried the day, he's Wer, and l
elected q. w. Stewart OF =. nois per-
manent chairman over A. 4. Stevens OF
Pennsylvania, who was backed ty the
gold standard delegates, and the
Free Silver Faction
are in an ecstasy Of delight over the
victory. The convention was held in
Music hall at the Exposition building
and there were over 5000 spectators
present. It was not as large a crowd as
the leaders expected, but there were
enough people to fill the big hall, and
what they lacked III numbers they
made up in enthusiasm. The fight now
will be, to begin with, over the plat
form. Elated with victory the free sill
yer crowd is determined to carry
through "broad guage" platform,
while the opposition is quite as deter
mined it shall be q single issue plat
form, declaring for prohibition alone
Each faction claims majority, but
from the days fight it would seem that
the factions are pretty evenly divided.
