DEATH IN THE WIND.
Awful Havoc Caused by Hurricanes
in the West Indies-Many
Lives Reported Lost.

ST. Vincent, British West Indies
Sept. 16.-The official reports reduce
the number of deaths here during the
hurricane. 1t was at first estimated
that 800 lives were lost, but it is now
believed the number is considerably
smaller. The exact figures are not OBJ
tainable.
People are focking into Kingston,
St. Vincent, from all the country
round for shelter and food. Every
where it appears that all the small
buildings and many large ones were
destroyed, and there is no doubt that
the fatalities were numerous.
Trinidad, British West Indies, Sept.
ia steamer which has arrived here
from Barbados reports that fearful
havoc was caused there by the hurri-
cane on Saturday night. The destruc-
ton of property was immense. 1t is
believed over $50 persons were killed
throughout the island and numbers
were rendered homeless and destitute.
The shipping suffered seriously. The
ship Loando, a bark and two barken-
tines broke from their anchorage and
were driven to sea. They had not re-
turned when the steamer left Barba-
does. Many local vessels were wrecked
or blown out to sea. Bridgetown, the
capital Of the island Of Barbados, is
a scene Of desolation aud ruin. Demol-
ished or roo1ess houses are to be seen
on every side and hardly a tree Is
standing.

THE PASSING OF GOLD LACE.
FIhshy Uniforms Age Not Now PS
Common as They Formerly
Were.

The sober-tinted and workmanlike
appearance of the American army
service uniform has attracted much
attention among the representatives.
of foreign armies. Big gold epaulettes,
startling rows of brass buttons, sashes
and shallos used to hold the military
mind in spell, even in this country;
but the gold lace and the tinsel had to
go. The Indians and the longrange
rifles shot them away. The CLINT of
u brass button or gold braid, a bit of
trimming on dark blue, the eagle-eyed
redskin could see a tremendously long
distance away in the clear air of the
mountains. Long range is his first
principle in war. y stand-up fight is
not in his line, and his aim is believed
to be less accurate at 300 yards than
ii is at 500. So all the bits of finery
that caught the light had to be dis
pensed with, and even the polished
swords and the white trimmings dis
appeared. As often as not dingy buck
skin would replace the blue cloth. y
company of infantry came to look like
hunters and a troop of cavalry like
cowboys. One of the best changes thus
brought about was the SUBSTITUTION or
the useful sombrero for the jaunty
but insecure forage cap. 1t remains
to be seen what further changes in
uniforms the present war will bring
about. If there should have TO be
much more fighting in tropical eli
mates a uniform not only of special
color but of special texture would
have TO be adopted. In such climates
white men are not expected to walk.
Ii man has to go quarter of a mile

some perspiration. The idea of our
soldiers marching in such countries
with their ordinary kit and clothing
strikes anyone who knows the condi-
tons as appalling, and if the war were

change of uniform for special condi-
tons would inevitably have to be
taken up.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat
