BERMUDA SWEPT by a STORM.
No Lives Lost nut Considerable
Property Was Damaged.

Island of Bermuda. Sept. IA cyclone
swept over this island last night Some
houses were blown down and others were
unroofed.
The storm ragged the whole OF last night.
No lives were lost, but heavy damage was
done 10 public and private property. fruit
and cedar trees. The causeway was badly
injured and tho government house was
damaged.
The storm was the worst known here
since the hurricane of 1850. In fact many
of the inhabitants say 1t exceeded the gale
of 1880 in violence.
The weather at 4 p. m. to-day is mid
and the storm has disappeared. Informa-
tlon from the dock yards say the dam
age done there Is very serious The break
water is badly damaged On Ireland and
Boaz Islands everything is more or less
injured.
The damage is roughly estimated at
100000
AT Somerset all the boats and small
craft were destroyed the trees demolished
and houses unslated or otherwise damag-
ed
At Prospect Camp the damage is estl-
mated al e 600
More than half mile of the causeway
connecting the mainland with St Georges
Is totally destroyed. 1t will cost f12 900
TO $4,000 to repair It.
News from St Georges, received by a
whaleboat, says serious damage has been
done there to trees, houses, etc. Ali the
boats have been destroyed or are badly
injured.
Reports from outlying parishes are slow
" coming in. They all show there has
been great destruction Of trees and seri-
Gus injury to houses and other property.
But so far as can be learned here there
has been no loss of life
II is a curious coincidence that the great
gale of 1899 occurred Sept. II and Sept. y,
and this was on Sept - and 10.
No correct estimate of the amount OF
damage to private property can at present
bo obtained but II win be fully 100000.

watched her husband light his third
cigar.
NO, 1 don't-decidedly!/ IF 1 ever
should hear of your doing such a thing,

"Well, now, really, John, dear, what
do you call smoking, anyway"
"Wby, lnhaling tobacco smoke, of
course"
But 1 really don't understand your
objection to cigarettes" said she. ''Now
just look at this room; it is blue with
smoke. l have inhaled that into my
lungs for the last six years. To be sure.
you have held all the cigars, but then
how really, what is the difference?
Why would it be any worse for me to
hold n cigarette in my hand while l
inhale the smoker"
Its of no use trying to tell you
there's no arguing with a woman"
said John sarcastically.
There's a little use in arguing with
some men, though" said his wife.

just the same. that it was because of
the satisfaction of coming out ahead

Love O. Liquor Not hereditary.

Professor Sims Woodhead, speaking
before the Society For the Study Of
Inebriety in England, came to these
conclusions: He held most strongly
that n direct transmission of the taste
for alcohol never occurred. OF course
he accepted very fully the fact that
certain nervous diseases and degenera-
lions involving certain altered and
weakened inhibitory powers are trans
mitted from generation to generation.
These, however, did not always as
sumo the same form, the manifesto
ton of the effect often taking on very
different characters in different gen.
erations.
ed the result as regards alcohol was
inevitably the same, and until far more
evidence was brought forward than
had yet been presented he should
strongly maintain that what was so
often spoken of as an inherited taste
for alcohol was an inherited weakness
and lessened self restraint affecting
many other things besides drink and
that Il direct transmission of the taste
for alcohol from parents to children
in constitution otherwise healthy did
not occur. AS with tuberculosis, the
disease was not transmitted, but only
the weakly and unbalanced condition

the Homes of officials.
One of the leading jewelers. of the
capital WAS somewhat taken aback one
day, says Washington paper, by re-
ceiving from the wife of high official
an order fo- half Il dozen gold nails
with 4 jewel in the head of each and a
dozen small gold chains. He inquired
the uses to which the nails were to be
put, when his patron said:
You see, | have a number of very
valuable objects of art, which, al
though they are very expensive, are
very small and easily handled. AS the
wife of an official of the government,
am obliged to open my house during
the season to the constituents of my
husband and the Washington curiosity
seeking public in general. On my re-
ception day, therefore, my house is
crowded with all sorts of people, and
last winter L suffered the loss of sew
eral of my most valuable treasures.
Il have long been trying to devise
some plan by which 1 can keep my
objects of art outside of my cabinets
and yet not have them stolen, for that
is the only word l can use in regard
to the loss of my treasures. l have
L
some of the bric-a- brac or chain it Sc
curely TO the table, and hence 1 am 60
ing to try this remedy. That is why
l want these nails and chains"
This woman's predicament is not an
unusual one in Washington official cir
cles. The kleptomaniacs who commit
the most aggravated depredations are
for the most part well known leaders
in society.
One winter social circles in Wash
ington We're greatly bewildered and
shocked by the doings of one of the
best known women in official circles.
A number of hostesSes began to miss
valuable doilies from their dinner ia
bles after they had given luncheons or
dinners. and finally several of them got
together and compared notes, and sus-
picion fell upon one of the women
who had been the guest at luncheons
given by those gathered at the confer
ence.
Finally the wife of a prominent dip
lomat determined to stop the raid upon
the doiIies, and at the next luncheon
she seated the suspected kleptomaniac
next to her. When the doilies were
brought on, she watched her guest and
discovered that the latter laid her dolly
on the table and, carelessly dropping
her handkerchief over it, picked up
both.
The hostess, in n most charming
manner, turned to her guest and said:
Pardon me. my dear Mrs. -, but
l am afraid you have my most eX-
quisite dolly in your handkerchief. 1t
is so fine l am afraid it will be crush
ed and therefore call your attention
to your inadvertence in taking it up
with your handkerchief"
The guest was not in the least abash-
ed, and with Il laugh she shook out her
handkerchief, and the dolly fell back
on the table, whereupOn she exclaimed:
''Why, dear me, so l have! How very
careless of mew
There were significant glances all
around the table, but no more doilies
were lost during that season.
