Claims to Have Predicted the Storm.

Fort Smith, Ark. Jan. 4.-Up to 3
o'clock in the morning forty-three bod
les have been taken from the ruins left
by the terrible cyclone. OF these seven
are yet unidentified. All night long res
cuers worked in the debris bringing out
bodies of the dead. In the ruins of a
boarding house the bodies of four men
were found, none Of whom have been
identified. 1t is believed that there
are other bodies deeper down in the
debris, but there is no record OF the
number in the building nor OF their
names. Among the unidentified are the
bodies of three women, so terribly mu-
tilated that they will probably never be
recognized. One of them is supposed
% be Mrs. Will Lawson. The others
viii probably never be known. There
is still a steady stream of people pass
ing through the morgue, viewing the
mangled dead, and it is barely possible
that some distinguishing marks may
yet rescue some OF those now unidenti-
fed from unknown graves.
A Day of Funerals.
1t has been day of funerals Over
thirty cyclone victims were laid at rest
in the various cemeteries. The bells
toll out their sad story all over the
city, and the entire populace walks with
bowed heads, sorrowing for departed
friends. Hardly a man is left who has
not lost a relative. friend or a famil-
lar face, and the whole city mourns
| its dead together. The last tribute to

acutely the sorrow, and the day has

FOR AWNINGS.
Stripes Are Now Made I'm Very Great
vRriety-A New stripe Due
TO the war.

An awning stripe new this year, and
one due to the war between the United
states and Spain. Is made in stripes Of
red, white and blue, uniform in width.
New styles of awning stripes are
brought out every year, and the variety
from which choice may be made is
very great. One extensive dealer has
25O different styles Of awning stripes
to which additions are constantly be-
ing made. There are fashions and fan
cies In awning stripes as in pretty much
everything else. The red. white and
blue awning stripes above referred to
are made in a sateen-finished drill. as
are also some other designs; but by
far the greater proportion of stripes
and other awning material used are
now in cotton duck.
Awning stripes are In the north now
very extensively used instead of plain
awning materials. When white avn
ings are used 1t is likely TO be where
signs are TO be painted on them. Many
Of the stripes are handsome and taste
ful. and some of them are beautiful and
striking. The awnings used in these
days may easily add materially TO the
piciuresqueness of n building or OF a
street.
Awning stripes cost more than plain
material, but the simpler stripes only a
very little more. The added cost in
creases. but still in the case Of many
stripes not greatly, with the amount
Of color used. There are stripes in
which high colors are freely used, such
as brilliant reds and yellows, that cost
80 per cent. more than the same mate
rial would cost plain.
The aEning stripes most commonly
used are OF blue and white. and next 10
them in demand are stripes Of tan and
white. In recent years awning stripes
| in green and white have come to be very
popular. Awning stripes are made in
many combinations of colors as well as
in many variations Of the stripes them
selves.
In the south white awnings were for
merly used almost exclusively, the
stripes fading in the sun; and white
awnings are still more commonly used
than any other in that part OF the coun'
try; but for some years the south has
been buying more and more awning
stripes. Awning stripes are commonly
used in the west. as they are in the
| north.
The present widespread common ust
Of folding awnings in the United States
has practically come about since The
civil war.-N. Y. Sun.

A Friendly Ceremony in old Cuba.

When an acquaintance visits a pri-
vate residence, cigars are handed round
on silver salver; If the visitor be an
intimate friend, one Of the young girls
OF the family. called a "donzalia." lights
a cigar and giving it a few draws TO
get well lighted, gracefully presents It
10 him. If the guitar is brought in. as
usually occurs (for there is one in every
house), and the visitor plays, his cigar
is kept lighted by the donzalia, and at
each pause in the music she politely
hands it to the guest. This may occur
several times in an evening, and this
friendly ceremony is pleasant enough
when the cigar comes from the pouting
! ips of rich Spanish beauty just ripen-
Ing into womauhood, but in any case il
must be thankfully accepted.-Jona-

EXCITING CAMEL TRAINING.
Desert Las More Vices

An officer who has for some time
been residing IN Egypt. where camel
riding has been obligatory. sends the
following graphic description Of his
experiences with that amiable and use
full animal: You can well imagine that
there's n circus around here when the
usual riding instruction Is going on.
When the untamed camels first arrived
at our camp | heard a tremendous
growing in front of the door. and on
going out saw one Of these amiable
beasts being led by his keeper. but
walking along with every expression
of disgust both on his countenanee and
voice. The man stopped ditto cameD,
and attempted to tie the beasts fore
legs together, when 1t reared. and,
striking out with its forefeet, landed
on the keepers stomach and head,
sending him flying through space as
il shot out of cannon. The man
picked himself out of the ditch with o
hand on each bruised part. and the
camel, which had never ceased roaring,
was taken in charge by two other and
more robust natives and led TO the
tents. or rather induced TO go by en-
ergetic assistance of very sharp
iron rod applied in a most vigorous
and miscellaneous manner. Similar
exhibitions are being conducted here
daily. and we are now ready 10 lead

A smnIIrox Epidemic.

ITHACA N. Y, Oct. 15.-After a
thorough investigation by members OF
the Ithaca board of health, by physi-
clans Of Mclean and by the state board
of health the conclusion was reached
late last night that the epidemic which
has been prevailing in that village fol
about two weeks is genuine smallpox
Mclean is about II miles east Of Itha'
ca, and it is feared that many people
here have been exposed. The physicians
who Investigated the matter yesterday
found IA cases already developed, and
it is said that two of these are school
teachers. The disease was first dag
nosed as a skin affection. The authori'
ties have taken severe measures e
suppress It, and the whole town may b'
quarantined today.

A MILITARY PLOT.
Alleged Evidence of Projected
Coup d'Etnt In Paris.

PARIS. Oct. 15.-The latest sensation
is the report of a military conspiracy to
overthrow the ministry.
The Matin. which recently has ap-
peared to be well informed, publishes
the rumor guardedly, and says that
Premier Brisson, who has been inform
ed of the conspiracy. is preparing nee
essary measures to secure tranquility.
The Rappel, Aurore and Petite Re
publique also print the report.
The leader of the movement is said TO
be a prominent general. who had
planned to put his designs into execu-
tion on Oct Is in the absence of Gen
eral Chanoine, the minister OF war.
In its article suggesting the existence
Of the plot the Matin says that for some
time past there has been talk OF a con-
spiracy, not in favor Of any pretender,
but for the purpose of changing the
leading officials Of the government with
the exception Of the president.
The Jour says that the rumor OF the
conspiracy arose from a letter supposed
to have been written by General Bois-
deffre to General Zurlinden, in which
the writer said, Let us be ready foI
Saturday"
AhI ANtNNl ANAA iAAAo AAlt VI AAAe
minister of the interior.
Everything In Paris is now attributed
to forgery, the Jour says, and this lettei
is undoubtedly of that character.
A long and vague semiohicial state
ment appeared last night suggesting
various possible motives, such as Drey.
fusite intrigues or an attempt by the
socialists to frighten the government
into dispensing the troops that now pre-.
vent the success Of the strike, to explain
the rumors Of a military conspiracy.
The mysterious illusions. however
and the absence of any straightforward
denial tend to encourage the belief tha
there must be some ground for the ru
mors. especially as the statement men
tions the kilograms alleged to have beer
sent by a French general to Prince Ma
poleon, which, 1t says, it is difficult I,

LONDON, Oct. 15.-The Paris corre-

proofs Of the existence Of a plot. be-
lieve, however that the idea Of some
act Of force haunts certain military
minds. Maddened and stung by vio-
lent criticisms of the army arising out
of the Dreyfus affair. they are espe-
cially irritated at the attitude of civil
ians in claiming to interfere in the de.
tention of Colonel Picquart, for which
the entire military authority is respon.

What the Word MORO Means.

Before the operations of the Ameri-
can warships in Cuban waters inter-
ested folks IN the nomenclature and
geography of that neighborhood most
people thought that Moro castle meant
a particular fort at the mouth of Ha-
vana harbor. In hazy way it was
imagined that the fortress was named
after some Mr. MORO or other. Now
the knowledge that there is Moro at
San Juan and another at Santiago has
sent the inquisitive ones to their Span

the principal meaning of Moro is
anything round, or projecting over an
eminence, an overhanging like Of a
precipice"
