ONE HUNDRED DEAD.
That Number Thought tn Have Per-
ished hv the storm Eighty
Bodies Have Been Found.

Savannah, Ga, Oct. 6.-News from
the storm stricken district along the
coast Is coming in gradually, and II
Is probable that hundred lives have
been lost. News by way Of boat
which has just arrived Is that so peo-
pie were drowned at Fernandina.
From Campbell island, inhabited by
about 40 colored people, 1t is reported
that all but three were drowned. At
Brunswick four people lost their lives,
and at Jesup, 100 miles from the coast,
one man was killed in building blown
down by the storm.
At Sterling Station, Charles Wright,
a merchant, reports the disasters from
the food great 10 lives and property in
the rice fields portion OF Glynn and
Mcintosh There are a number OF such
islands a various points around Bruins
wick. Fernandina and Darien. on
which small groups of families live.
1t will be some days before accurate
reports are heard from these points.
At Darien the water Is reported high
and the town badly damaged. There
are many rumors OF loss OF life, but
all of the reports so far received are
believed 10 be exaggerated. Many OF
those who bring news left the scene
of the storm during its height. and
consequently cannot be expected to
give accurate information. The dam
age by wind and rain is enormous,
and extends inland 100 miles in some
cases.
Savannah, Ca, Oct. 6.-The Morning
News correspondent at Brunswick
wires this bare statement: Martin
Anderson, master Of the steamer
Hesse, from Darien, Ga, reports that
so bodies have been found on Buffers
island. This runs up the total deaths
TO 100" Buffers island was populated
mostly by negroes.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 6.-Reports from
various points of Georgia indicate that
the storm of Sunday Monday and
Tuesday was disastrous to the cotton
crop. and the damage sustained is be-
leved to have reached $1,000, 900. The
continued wind and the driving rain
beat out the open cotton and ruined IL.

capital of Liberty county, says that an

He was lost in meditation for some min

he exclaimed:

I've carried il for weeks in my pocket over

Dotty sat on stool beside her mother
looking at the pictures in an old church
book. There were angels and cherubm
and harpists galore, and in them the child
found much to interest her. The last pic

angels floating on the clouds. Above the
head of each shone the symbolic halo. Those
halos bothered Dotty. She had never seen
such head dress and she was perpexed.
After minutes thought she held the book
up TO her mother and said: "See, mamma,
the ladies what's got wings and funny things
on their heads"

And what's the funny rings on their

Those are halos, Dotty."

Ex-senator B. X. Bruce.

Speaking of Hon. b. K. Bruce,
Register of the Treasury, who
died in Washington last Thursday,
the Memphis Scimitar pays him
the following welldeserved tribute:
"In the press dispatch annOunc.
ing his death he is characterized
as the ablest representative OF the
colored race, in this country, ex-
cepting Fred Douglass. This is
doubtless true. But it may also
be said for Bruce that he was the
most popular colored man that ever
rose to any position of prominence
among us. He was always the
pink of courtesy. His instructive
good breeding protected him all
ways and in all places from the
sights and indignities of which
other prominent negroes have com
plained. Not even when he was
Senator from Mississippi, in the
time when race passion and antag-
onism ran high in that State, was
he disliked by the white people;
He respected their sensibilities and
they respected his. Instead OF re-
senting his appointment later to
lucrative offices, they rather re)oic-
ed at his good fortune. ,
"In a quiet way he exercised
much influence over his race, and
it was always wholesome. SO he
passed away in good repute with
ALL"
The vicksburg Herald copies the
above and pays high tribute to
Bruce's honesty and integrity,
citing a notable instance in carpet
bag times of which the Herald
editor was personally cognizant.

Suffering I'm Cuba.

The following extracts copied
from a letter published in the
Biloxi Herald, from Dr. j. r.
Tackett, who recently visited Cuba,
give some idea of the human suf.
fering in that unhappy isle, which
lies almost at our doors:
In one hundred miles of Key
West, in our own boasted, benevo.
lent United States, women and
children are dying by thousands.
On the Island of Cuba, during the
past two years, three hundred
thousand human beings have sue
cumbed from starvation, or diseases
due to imperfect and insufficient
diet. 1t is impossible for the mind
to picture the utter horror, desola.
tion, despair, destitntiOn and death
of the people OIL this unfortunate
island-a land whose history has
been written in blood and punctua.
ted with teardrops-unless they
have seen it as l have. 1t is the
most gorgeous drama of human
cruelty that ever disgraced the
pages of history. Why Almighty
God permits it, l cannot say, but
our own sin of omission lies i'm the
fact that we are unfamiliar with
their true suffering and the sicken-
ing desolation.
While in Havana recently, l
visited a two story frame building
which, one year ago, contained
nearly ten thousand of the con-
centrated or recOncentradOs, but
now, all save about 800, have died
from starvation, and these 500 are
beyond the limit of human aid. l
saw mOthers-skeleton mothers
cling despairingly to their wasted,
starving children, trying to keep
back death, when already the
death. dew had settled on the brow
of their darlings.
l saw little, innocent, red.lipped
children, with their emaciated bod
les and dark, piteous, pleading,
haunting eyes, shudder slightly
and-drop to sleep forever. l
heard their dying means, their de-
lirious screams, l saw them writhe
and twist in the clutches of the
most agonizing death there is
slow starvation. / am not writing
of DaDte's hell, but the Cuban
hell which l saw, and give you
my word am putting it mildly.
While 800, 1000 have already died
there are as many more now dying
for want of simple nOurishment.
The condition of affairs in Cuba
has settled down to one question
that of starvation, and this alone
is the issue. We can help them, if
we will. Some may say: "Oh,
they are Cubans, many OF them are
