loss Of life or the extent of property
damaged. The latter will exceed half
million dollars. Heroic attempts are
being made to rescue those in danger.
Four Killed at Alexandria
Alexandria, Va, Oct. -Four people
were killed and three injured by
Wednesdays storm. All the churches
suffered severely. The First Baptist,
handsome structure. was completely
demolished: the St. Elmo Baptist was
badly wrecked. and Roberts chapel.
M. K. South, bad it's spre blown away.
Nearly every business block in town
suffered some damage, and hundreds
of private houses were unroofcd. The
loss in and around Alexandria will prob

Lake Shipping Suffers.
Chicago, Oct. lone of the most Sc.

over the lake region Tuesday night
and part OF. Wednesday. 1t seemed to
have expended most of it's fury over
the upper half of Lake Michigan. The

four men having been drowned by the
sinking of the steam barge Sumatra at
Milwaukee. Much minor damage was
done to shipping in Milwaukee, Grand
Haven, Chicago and other harbors, and
the masters OF such steamers as were
out in the lake during the night re-
port one of the toughest passages they
ever experienced. Owing to- the late
ness of the season and threatening con-
ditions which prevailed for "a hours
before the storm broke, most OF the
sailing fleet was tied up in different
ports-Chicago harbor especially, being
crowded.
Florida Swept.
Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 3.-Reports
received from Cedar Keys tell story of
great damage to property and loss of
life there from fire and flood.
Entire towns in the inferior of the
state were demolished.
Early rumors spoke of Cedar Keys
having been wiped out but, fortunate
~. later and more authentic reports
show this was an exaggera ton. AS it
is, however, Is persons are reported
drowned. In Mrs. Weidley's house
alone five persons persisted by the food,
including three of Mrs. Weidley's chill
tren and her niece and the latter's
child.
Bodies are being recovere6 from along
the coast, and many fishermen VINO
went out Monday night have not been
heard from since they left.
Appalling Loss of Life.
Exclusive Of the hundreds Of spongers
supposed to have been drowned off
Cedar Keys, the death list in the state
proper bids fair to reach 100 and the
property loss will run into the millions.
The people seem to be paralyzed by
the calamity that has overcome them,
and this is reflected in the accounts
sent in of the storms work. In The
majority of cases nothing like a detailed
description is attempted. and in but
few instances are the names OF the dead
given.
Extent of the Disaster.
Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 5.-No inn
rortant additions to the list of deaths in
Florida from the hurricane are reported.
In 81 towns the killed number 20 and
the injured 1854. The destruction Of
property is beyond the estimates. The
belt of the country that was devastated,
extending across the state from Cedar
Mary's river, is about Us miles long by
20 miles wide on the gulf and 60 miles
wide on the Georgia boundary.

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT AND PROGRESS
An EpitOme Of Sermons Of the Week
Throughout The Land.

Following is a summary of the principal
sermons recently delivered in the United
States and Canada by the leading clergy
men, priests. prelates, religious teachers
and professors of the Christian faith. In
every instance the full text has been care
fully read and abbreviated:
SUNDAY OBSERVANCE
By upholding the sacredness of the Sabbath
we are advancing the Holy Fathers work in
bringing about Christian unity the world
over.-Rey Father Malone, Catholic, Brooklyn.
Ny.
RELIGIOUS DUTY.
The three greatest things on earth to do are
10 save man, or save woman, or save
chilc.-Rev. I. de Witt Talmage, Presbyterian
Washington, D. c.
CONSCIENCE.
Imagine the terrors of an aroused conscience
the fearful reckoning that comes when sin is
illuminated by the searchlight OF an awakened
memory.-Rev. L. A. Banks, Methodist Brook
iyD, N. Y.
UNITARIANIsM.
Unitarienism represents no violent disrup-
ton. 1t is the growing of new ideas out of the
revolution.-Rev. Samuel A. Elliot Unitarian,
Brooklyn, n. Y.
FAITH.
The time has come when a man must be
ready TO show reasons for the faith that is in
him if he expects others to accept it.-Rey. DR..
MacAfee, Methodist, Columbus, Ohio.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The star of hope for the Nation rests over the
schoQlhouse, A school is a fort, a library, an
arsenal. Never since the world began has
such an opportunity been given any lad as the

mated at about $4,000, and it is Mr.. nc
Adie's idea that when the building is put
up on the peak it ought to be about such
picturesque and convenient structure as
that of e Blue Hill meteorological OBJ
servatory of Boston. built and equipped
by the wealthy Lawrence Roach at a cost
of about $4,000, and which is now the
only meteorological observatory in the
United States, since the Government ones
on Pixies Peak and Mount Washington
have been discontinued.
The building for the Blue Hill observa-
tory was designed by noted firm of
Boston architects, and is a small stone
castle in its design. Such structure
roughly built of stone quarried on the
mountain would be fitting crown to the
peak which is soon to become a popular
resort through the building of an electric
railway.
But the design for the building is, of
course, an incidental thing. 1t is the
scientific and the practical work that
might be done there that makes the
project an important one. a meteOrologi-
cal observatory is much more than
weather bureau observing station, though
this one would serve that and other
practical purposes too. Ii the observatory
were running now enthusiastic young
scientists would be counting with pre-
cision the dust particles in the air and
rains. They would be measuring the
electricity of the air, measuring halos and
sending up kites and balloons with.all sorts
of self-registering instruments which
would show how warm, humid, dense and
so on the air is at various heights and un.
der various conditions.
Then there are the direct and practical
reasons for establishing such an observa-
tory. Is would be the most valuable
weather station in the State, because it
would be above the influences OF topog-
raphy on the wind and other features of
the weather, and its reports would help
out the forecaster immensely.
Recently w. H. Hammon has read sci
entific papers before the California Science
Association, and the Astronomical Society,
and the warm interest OF many local scien-
tific men has been enlisted. Professor
George Davidson is enthusiastic in Its
favor, and interest has been expressed by a
number OF university professors and
others. 1t IS the announcement so far re-
ceived that has made Messrs. Hammon
and McAdie so hopeful. One subscription
has been received unsolicited.
1t will take about $4,000 to build and
equip the observatory. and this amount is
so small, compared with the enterprise
that subscriptions from rich people inter-
ested in science and education are con-
fdentiy counted on to make up that sum.
In 1884 the people of Edinburgh sub
scrib d $4,000 for a similar observatory on
the summit of Ben Nevis, right in the
path of most of the storms that strike
Scotland and England. The Ben Nevis
meteorological observatory has proved its
immense value and it has become famous
If built and equipped the observatory
would either pass to the control and cheap
maintenance of the State or the Stanford
University or to an independent body of
trustees. The Chamber of Commerce will
soon be asked to indorse the enterprise

one given Young America standing on the
step of the free school, his brow shaded by
the American flag, every stripe Whlte with
peace and crimson with the warmth OF kin-
dred, and every star ablaze with hope;;-Rev.
d. F. Fox, Congregationalist, Chicago, III.
CowAgDICE.
The biggest coward is not always the man
who refuses TO fight. 1t takes more courage
sometimes to turn away from brawl than 10
plunge into it-Rev. Washington GLADDEN.,
Congregationalist, Columbus, ONO.
GENERALIZATION.
The grandest generalization that the human
mind has reached is God. Evolution is only
part We are going on and on until the will OF
God is reached.-Rev. Samuel R. Calthorp,
Syracuse, n. \.
believe that every right-minded man and
woman will say that the saloon is curse, and
that the American people viii not rest until
the great evil is eradicated.-Rey. DR.. Dalton,
Congregationalist, Portland, Me.
MURDERERs
What will become of the repentant murderer
after death? He will be made good man by
the grace OF God in the long ages of hi immor-
tai life.-Rev. Charles R. East, Universalist,
Kansas City, Mo.
POWER OF THE CHURCH.
In the face of all this war clamor, what good
your parliaments of religion and your conven-
tions, your cathedrals and your chapels, your
prayer books ana your hymnals ?-Rey. Charles
j. Little, Methodist, Chicago, Ill.
WAR AND PEACE.
The militant ornaments OF modern nations
excel those of any previous period in human
history; and the very power and effectiveness
of the modern eDginery OF war is a powerful
factor in assuring peace.-Rev. L. G. Jones,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
CHARACTER.
Character only can develop character. No
child in that formative period of its life ought
to be brought under either the conscious or
unconscious influence of a teacher whose
moral character is not above suspicion.-Rev.
w. II. Moore, Presbyterian, Doylestown, Pa.

Encouragement and Pushing
the Project.

There will be noted, picturesque and
very important meteorological observa-
tory on the summit of Tamalpais if the
forecast of w. H. Harmon and A. G. Nc
Adie to that effect be at all reliable.
These two weather sharps have seized
on the idea with great enthusia m, and
during the last few weeks they have
nursed and stimulated the project, and
won support for it until they feel con-
fident of winning scientific and philan-
thropic triumph. Mr.. McAdie is espe-
cially enthusiastic and confident, and there
are some men with lots of money who will
hear Mr.. McAdie talk about 1t in their
private offices pretty soon.
