STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Ottawa Family's Quiet Supper Rudely
Disturbed.

Ottawa June 14.-During the storm
of Saturday night lightning struck the
residence of J. Adler. The members Of
the family were seated at the supper
table when the bolt struck the chimney
directly over the room adjoining the
one where they were seated. The bolt
struck the chimney and ran down into
the basement where it passed off into
the ground. From off the chimney is a
fireplace and through this there poured
a stream of SCOT and brick into the sit
ting room. All the members of the
family felt the shock but none of them
were injured. The electric lights in the
house were extinguished. The damage
to the property will probably amount to
about $40. The chimney was partially
destroyed and two holes were torn
through the roof.

Plum of Promotion is Dangled
Before SIMPSONS Eyes.
He Will Soon Be a Commodore

THEN REAR ADMIRAL.
And If He Aequits Himself
With Credit
Rank of Admiral May Be Re-
ViVed For Him.
Where Does Dewey Come In in
All This?
THEN REAR ADMIRAL.

Washington. June 14-Acting Admiral
VIM T. Sampson, commanding the
naval forces operating in the West
Indies, whose actual rank in the navy
is that of captain, will become a COM
modore on the third proximO by the
retirement of Rear Admiral kirkland,
commandant of the Mare Island navy
yard. who is now the ranking officer
of the navy. In the event of successful
performance of the important duties
assigned him in the West Indies, in
Guiding the capture and occupation of
Santiago de Cuba and San Juan de
Puerto Rico, of which his friends have
no doubt whatever, Captain Sampson
is also assured of further promotion to
the actual rank of Rear Admiral. being
the highest grade to which he can at
tain unless congress shall re-create the
grade of admiral, or vice admiral for
his special benefit. Those offices were
established during the war of the re-
bellion and lapsed with the death of
their last incumbents, Admiral Porter
and Vice Admiral Rowan. The plan of
promotion adopted by President Nc
Kinley in the case of Admiral Dewey
and his captains for their great achieve
ment in the harbOr of Manila probably
Will be followed in case of similar vic
tories by Admiral Sampson and his
captains on this side of the water.
five other admirals will retire within
the next few months by operation of
law, on account of age. They are Ad-
miral Joseph n. Miller. commanding
the Pacific station; Admiral Mont
gomery Sicard. president of the war
board; Admiral E. o. Matthews, presi-
dent of the examining and retiring
board; Admiral T. S. Bunce, command
ing the New York navy yard. and Ad-
miral c. S. Norton, commanding the
Washington navy yard. With the ex-
ception of Admiral Miller. all of these
officers are likely to be retained in their
present places after their retirement
during the continuance of the war with
Spain, because of the nOn-availa bility
of officers on the active list to take
their places. Retired officers are sub
ject to duty of this kind in time of war
a the discretion of the president 1t
is different with Admiral Miller. He is
in command of a fleet and retired of
ficers are not eligible for such duty I'M
less specially authorized by act of con-
gress.

North Carolina, and it is his purpose to
make his home in that state when he
is relieved from duty. OF the seven
rear admirals only two are in COM

The Texas Girl.

Chivalry used to be- described as q
southern virtue, and though we do not
wish to imply that the men Of the north
are unchiyalrous 1t ii quite possible
that In the south women are still re-
garded with a greater degree of formal
reverence than elsewhere. A native OF
Texas describes with enthusiasm the
women Of his state and SHOWS why they
cannot fail to excite admiration. "They
ARB" he declares, .'sweet, polite, gra-
cious and courageous; they do not curse
or swear; they do not use slang, and are
not drunkards. Most Of them ride well
on horseback and can use the six shooter,
but do not want to take away a mans
job OF position" Could a more engag-
ing picture be drawn? These lovely
.DIspounds Of sweetness and strength
know their power, but do not abuse 1t.
They may resent injury In the most ef-
feotive fashion. but they are not mean
They will hesitate before shooting a
mar who has a family dependent upon
him. They are no mere aInazons. The
fact that they do not curse and swear
shows that they possess also the gentler
domestic virtues. Those who are in
search Of the ideal girl should purchase
q ticket iUr Texas. Providence Jour
