Kingston. Jamaica. Sept. 25.-Mail
advices which reached here brought
melancholy relief 10 the suspense re-
garding the full extent OF the hurri-
cane disaster ut the islands Of st. Vim
cent, st. Lucia and Barbados, showing
that the first reports were not exag-
gerated. At St Vincent about 800
lives have been lost, not counting the
loss of life suffered through the de-
struction of shipping. The coast is
strewn with the wrecks of vessels,
many Of which were from Barbados.
The storm ragged from 10 o'clock in
the morning. Sept 10, until = O'Clock
in TIE afternoon. completely wrecking
the island. At the capital, Kingston,
fully 2lO houses were demolished,
while the suburbs Coachete and Mon
tObeO were obliterated
Throughout the island the destruc-
ton was on wholesale scale. the es-
tates and buildings being RACED anu
cultivation being obiiterated.
No approximate estimate OF the
damage done has been reached but
the island is practically ruined.
st. Eucia suffered mostly from rain
zen
hours. Cul lie Sac and Rosseau val
leys. The centers Of the cane and cocoa
cultivation, were converted into lakes,
which ruined crops. While many plali-
tations elsewhere were wrecked.
serious Damage Was Sustained,
especially at MOrnettabao. which pre-
cipitated an avalanche three miles
long. covering the valley to the width
of mile and overwhelming Ruby and
a couple OF other estates. Similar
avalanches partly destroyed the Dia-
mond, Fear and San Joaquin planta-
tiOnS.
The hurricane struck the island of
Barbados on the night Of the 10th,
completely wrecking that fiat. exposed
island and sweeping away 10000
houses, while damaging thousands
moro. This left three-quarters of the
inhabitants homeless. over 100 peo-
pie were killed. so far as known. The
city Of Bridgetown was partly de-
stroyed. and the stores were all de-
nolished. The shipping was wrecked
or blown ont to sea. In the country
the desolation is awful. owing to the
destruction OF the provision stores. on
which the population depended. The
sugar estates are damaged and many
of them completely wrecked. The to-
tai estimated damage beside the loss
from the cane crop and provisions is
81 100000 at Barbados.

st. Paul, Sept. 2J.-The Fourteenth
Is home. After service of four cal
endar months and one week. the hoys
have returned to the state whence
they departed with visions of honor
and fame to be won on the field of
battle. That they have not seen the
realization of their authorizations is no
fault Of theirs. From the time they
entered Camp Thomas until they EN-
parked on the hOmeward bound train
at Knoxville last Wednesday night,
there has not been a moment when
they were not eager TO get to the front
II there was any fighting to be done
They were willing 10 give up their
lives If there was need on the field of
battle. They were not willing to en-
dure the monotony Of garrison life in
Cuba or anywhere else. So long as
there was remaining aught Of the
work they enlisted TO do, so long they
did not complain. The moment the
necessity for their services expired
that moment their thoughts reverted
10 their homes, and great longing TO
see the soil of their native state took
possession Of them.
And, If one may judge hy the recep-
ton accorded the regiment at st. Paul.
there were those in the safe WHO were
longing 10 see the men. Although the
first section arrived in the city at Z
o'clock in the morning. there were
thousands awaiting the train, and as
the men filed from the cars and
formed in liue along the tracks Of the
Northwestern, they We're
Greeted by Cheer After Cheer
from the crowds. Every one who had
the cord of whistle within reach
pulled it vigorously. and the din was
kept up until the last section had dis
embarked. Then. as soon as possible.
the regiment was formed IN line and
marched to the great auditorium.
where the ladies of the city, assisted
by the St. Paul Commercial club, had
prepared a spread that was little short
Of IA feast. On the way 10 the banque:
hall the regiment was escorted by the
G.. A. r., the Eldredge Zouaves and IL
detail of mounted police. The streets
were packed almost 10 suffocation and
the cheering was continuous all along
the line of march.
But 1t was at the auditorium that
the generous hospitality OF the Sanity
City found its best expression. Early
as ii was, everything was in readiness
at the great hall. From the vaulted
ceiling to the floor were decorations
Of bunting, in which the national col
ors appropriately predominated.
Tables had been set, and these also
had been decorated with flags and cut
flowers. BY the side of every plate
was a buttonneire for the soldier who
should sit there. The tables were
piled high with such meal as the
men have not tasted for many day,
and there were the brightest and most
beautiful of the SANITY City young
women to see that none wanted for
anything.
After hours damage had been
dealt the heavily loaded tables, Gov.
Clough was introduced, and in short
speech welcomed the boys back 10 the
state. Mayor Kiefer, in behalf of the
city, babe the Fourteenth welcome.
At the close of the speecamakins the
regiment was marched out to the
camping ground at Kiltsondaic.

PRACTICAL KINDNESS.
Hundred Thousand Grateful
Soldiers.

Soldiers.
These war times have tried mems
souls in many unexpected ways, but
sra shaft of sunshine and good cheer
ant of the cloud of privation and en-
durance has been the work that The
American Tobacco Co. has done among
he Il. S. Soldiers and Sailors ever since
tho war began-for when they discov-
cred that the camps and hospitals were
not supplied with tobacco they decided
~ provide them, free Of cost, with
enough for every man, and have al
ready given outright to our Soldiers
and Sailors over one hundred thousand
mounds of Battle AK Plug and
"Duke's Mixture" Smoking Tobacco,
and have bought and distributed fifty
thousand briar wood pipes, at total
cost of between fifty and sixty thou
sand dollars.
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly. by establishing headquar-
ters in each camp, so that every camp
and every hospital OF the United States
Army has been supplied with enough
tobacco for every man and the sailors
on thirty United States Ships in Cuban
waters have shared with the soldiers
this most welcome Of all "rations."
Perhaps 1t will be only fair 10 re-
member when we hear the remark
again that Corporations have no
souls" that there is one American cor
poration whose soul has been tried and
has not been found waiting in 'prac-
teal kindness"

To the Editor:
Your paper OF Thursday night con-
tained a very good article in defense OF

add a little along the same lines. l
think the writer made a slight mistake
about Mr. Proctor being the author OF

much (some people think to prove the
folly of municipal control.
The public may be somewhat inter-
ested In knowing what prompted this
gentleman's investigation abroad. and
this. rnther than the discussion Of the
matter, is what wish to bring out.
1t is a fact that the Chicago Inter-
Ocean sent a Mr.. Porter on a mission
abroad to study and carefully prepare
for this paper and the dear people
a series of articles on municipal owner
ship as he saw 1t in Glasgow and other
European cities. 1t Is only fair to
Mr.. Porter that he has done so. and
also, for the benefit of his many read
ers throughout the land, to say that the
Chicago Inter-Ocean Is owned and con-
trolled by Mr.. Yerkes. president Of the
Chicago street railways. 1t Is too bad
