This is a Free Country.

There is little Chinaman on King
street who has been throwinga series
of dinky fits within the past month,
and the people who stand in the
shadow of the street to peep into his
shop see strange and weird sights.
Just at the rear of the mans laundry
there is a "church'' built in 4 closet,
and on IL shelf in this is Il wooden god.
The Chinaman has not accepted any
of the religion of this country. and he
is following the customs OF his own
church.
1t was near ? o'clock the other morn
ing when Il Reporter, coming IN from IL
late assignment. passed the laundry;
From the place there drlttcd the smell
of burning stlltis and dapollccman across
the street shifted the airand went away;
The Reporter got by the window ana
saw the Chinaman do his rclSlolls
stunts. In all. parts OF the room m
ccnsc WAS burning, and the not ;lf
which poured from Il crack IN the
window indicated that the temperature
inside was steaming. Several Chinese
lanterns were swinging about and on
a table in the closet the strange goa
sat quietly, while half Il dozen candles
cast Il pale light on his stOlld cotlhten-
ancc. The Chinaman was on his knees
before the god, chanting and singing
and praying and saying things which
could not be understood. Now anG
then he would leta chain fall and
then he would flop down and up again
and sing and chant all the louder.
Oucc he left the closet and came dane
ing about the room and glanced quick
ly to the glass windows at the front N! to
see if he was being observed. Then
he danced back to the closet and 1ell
on his knees and made funny signs ut
the little god on the shelf. ~ binding
rain which came up suddenly drove
the Reporter home, bnt the Chinaman
continued his worship. Yesterday the
door to the closet was shut, but tnc

small sum OF twenty-five cents the Eo1

they came across a great crowd OF

with them and when they found out
who he was and that he had once been

and the governors face was all smiles:
He bought rs many papers as he could

gave the governor an ovation in their

port from General Davis, commanding
in Porto Rico, ON the cyclone OF last
Tuesday:
San JUAN Porto Rico, Aug. 9.-Hur
ricane of extreme violence passed over
Porto Rico yesterday. The principal
military loss was at San Juan, where
one temporary company barracks was
destroyed, and some quGrtermaster's
property damaged.
No personal injuries yet reported,
but all wires are down. No injury to
shipping here save two small local
schooners sunk; two sailors drowned.
San Juan lights temporarily disabled.
Gable reports from Ponce say all ship
ping is ashore; custom house sheds
badly damaged and goods stored there
in. Messengers from two interior posts
tell of barracks unroofed and consid-
cradle property damaged. The loss by
inhabitants is very great and extreme
suffering must result.

was in 1876, when, owing to loss of
houses. fruit and provisions, there was

HER IDENTITY STILL unknown
WOMAN WHO KILLED HERSELF
AT HASTINGS, NEB.
Believed Now Thai Her Name Was
Not Mrs. Lee-No Glue to Her In
Salt Lake.

Omaha. Neb., Aug. ia mystery
surrounds the personality of the young
woman who killed herself in hotel in
Hastings. Neb.. last night. by swallow
ing a large quantity of morphine. She
had registered as Mrs. W. l.. Lee, Salt
Lake City" but as kilograms have been
sent TO Salt Lake and various other
places and no identification has been
made. it is generally believed that Lee
is not her true name.
At the corOner's inquest held today.
it was learned that the woman arrived
in Hastings Tuesday night on Burling-
ton flyer No. 3. and that she was ac-
companied by a man who escorted her
to hack. The couple were driven TO
the BOstwick hotel. where both regis
tered. The man registered as George
2. Crosby of Fort Madison. Ia. He re-
manned over night, but left on the
Kearney freight in the morning.
When the woman's Valise was ex-
amined it was found to contain a
pOcketboOk with IS in 1t. and one or two
small articles. Her shirt waist had
been marked, but the name was re-
moved. She was a young woman of
attractive appearance.

Pointe-a-Pitre say the coffee crops
have been nearly totally destroyed. At
La Pointe-a-Pitre seven persons were
injured, aud at Moul the damage done
was considerable, and several persons
were killed and wounded. At Pitet
Canal and Poet Louis several persons
were killed and number injured. The
villages of Grippcn and Lamentin have
been entirely destroyed. and the light
houses of MonrouX and Position have
been overturned. The town Of St.
Louis de Mare Galante has suffered
considerably.
Governor Morachini arrived at La
Pointe-a-P itre this morning on the
French cruiser Cecille, and left soon
afterwards for Saintes.
News which has reached the Asso-
ciated Press CORES ondent here from
the British Antilles say the island or
Timinica has not suffered much from
the hurricane that St. Thomas and st.
Croix suffered lightly. that Antigua
WAS seriously nit, and that at St Kits
200 houses were destroyed.
The hurricane passed over Porto
Plata, and appears to hove ravaged
the north of the Dominican republic.
All communication between Porto Plata
and the interior. not including San Do
mingo, is interrupted. and it is impcs-
sible to obtain Il correct account of the
damage done, although it is thought to
be important. The railroad from Porto
Plata to San Domingo is no longer
working.
Eventually the hurricane swept over
Cape Haytien with less violence, and.
therefore, with correspondingly less
damage.
