Will Require Large Amount to Com
 plete Present Enterprises.
 A great deal of interest is aroused in both political and financial circles by the appeal for assistance now being made by Russia in the London money market For many years to come Rus sia will require large financial re- sources to carry out her vast plans for railway development in China, Persia and Siberia Unless London comes to the help of M de Witte, the Russian minister of finance, the building of these railways, which bulk so largely in the scaremonger's eyes, is likely 10 be postponed for an indefinite period. It seems odd that Russia should come to London to borrow money for the advancement of schemes which are openly designed to thwart the political and commercial interests of England and the United States in the far East It is unusual. to say the least of it, to invite prospective victims to subscribe for the expense of their own interment. The only ground on which the appli- cation is to be justified is the cosmo- politan character of modern finance. which knows neither country nor pa- triotism. Every shilling subscribed in England or America for the building of Russia's strategic lines in Asia will be used against them. The spirit in which that portion of the Russian govern ment which is hostile to Anglo-Saxon development administers the affairs of the interior is shown in the arrest and exile of thousands of students, and in the closing of nearly all the principal universities and colleges in Russia Harper's Weekly.

Now as the cobra had gone, l thought I might as well secure the hare, which all this time, petrified with terror, had been crouchtng by the hole. So once again I bent forward. It heard me, and tried to run away, out was evidently too weak.

COLLEGES TURN OUT rspINsrERs
Educated Girls Think Longer and Look
 on Marriage SerionsIr.


 investigators who have been study ing the college girl versus marriage make the extraordinary assertion that the percentage of marriages among women collegians falls far below that of the less highly educated woman, says the New York Mail and Express. For example, take one college-Bryn Mawr-and the classes of '89 and '94 for illustration. Class 'S9-Ten years out of school, averaging now 32-33 years of age; twenty-six members, eleven married, two studied three years postgraduate to take the degree of Ph. D. Neither of these has mar ried. Class '94-Fiye years out of school, averaging now 27-28 years of age; twenty in class; three have mar red; three studied one year extra to take degree of 4. NJ, one stayed three years to take Ph. D. Of seventy eight women who have held fellowships ten have married, or 13 per cent; of 161 graduates thirty-nine have married, or 24 per cent; of 225 girls who did not stay to take their degrees thirty tight nave married, or IT per cent; of 234 A. B. s, thirty-two married, or If per cent. Very few women will agree, however, with the conclusions of the Rev. Dr. E. Winchester Donald, made public in a speech delivered at Abbott academy, Andover, that the methods of education followed in nearly all the female colleges make pupils unwom- 6nly and too erudite" They may make them critical and develop their dis eernment and discretion, two aLtrib- 0tes which women greatly need to get along in the world, whether married or single, but in the sensible words 9f one undergraduate is found the true solution of the problem. She says: Graduates leave college at the age of q or p, and are less likely to rush into marriage. They think longer and look at maternity more seriously. While l must admit that there is a great difference in the percentage of married women who graduate com pared to those who do not, do not think that a girls erudtion seares a young man or creates q desire to re- main single, but makes a woman more sensible and restrains her from rush ing unheedingly into wedlock."

SARATOGA, N. Y, July 6.-Bishop
John P. Newman of the Methodist
Episcopal church is dead.
The wonderful vitality exhibited by
Bishop Newman, who had been in se-

All hope Of his recovery was abandoned

Among those who volunteered their
services at the Newman cottage were
Mrs. U. S. Grant, Mrs. Fred d. Grant
and Miss Julia Grant.
The immediate cause Of death was
pneumonia and myeletic.
AT 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon his
pulse was hardly perceptible. The
physicians in attendance recognized
that the end was near and relatives and

Let All Celebrate.

The success of the various celebra-
tions throughout the county fully justi-
fed the position taken by those who
held that Denison should celebrate
every year, We certainly had u good
crowd here, not a suffocating unman-
agable crowd but several thousand
people, in fact about all we could pro-
vide for with safety and comfort. The
reports from Vail, Manila, CharterO Oak
and Dow City state that each of these
places had a successful celebration and
a good crowd.
Our county has become so we'll popu-
lated that there are enough people, so
that no one town need suffer because
another celebrates. We congratulate
the people of the various towns upon
the energy and zeal displayed and upon
the way their efforts were appreciated
by the people. If Crawford were to
have but one celebration each year, the
crowd would be too large for any one
town to entertain and even then the
majority of the people would not have
celebrated at all. We doubt If the
crowd at any of the other
towns would have been ctwo hundred
larger if Denison had not celebrated.
The majority of our people would have
spent quiet day at home and the re-
malnder wonld have been divided be-
tween Omaha and the various towns of
the county.
After all the main object of cele-
bration is not to see how large crowd
can be gotten together, it is to enthuse
and amuse the people who do come and
this latter object can be best accom-
plished when but a moderate sized
crowd is present.

.CYCL0NB CUTS A PATH.
Twister Tears Things For :
Space of Several Miles.
WOMAN KILLED NEAR A1Nsw0RTH.

Body Is Nearly Severed In Twain--Scv-
eral Families Crawl Into Their Caves
just In Time-Buildings Wrecked, Crops
Destroyed and stock Killed.
AINswoRWI, Neb., July Ga de-
structiye cyclone passed Ainsworth two
miles to the north yesterday afternoon,
killing one woman and tearing houses,
barns, fences and bridges into kindling
wood.
The cyclone seemed to form about ID
miles northwest of Ainsworth. The mo.
ton of the funnel-shaped cloud was
most distinct and was witnessed by the
entire population. 1t was first noticed
about o'clock and was headed i'll di-
rect line for this town, finally passing
just north and breaking about three
miles east.
Its first destructive work was on the
west of Ainsworth, demolishing every
thing in sight. Luckily the family took
to a cave and no one was injured.
1t next struck the house of William
Lockmiller, a mile to the east. Mrs.
Lockmiller had sought refuge in the
cellar with her three smallest children.
Her oldest son not coming and fearing
he might be killed in the barn, where
he was working, Mrs. Locllmiller start
ed to call MIN just as the cyclone
reached them. As she arrived at the
door the house was moved from it's
foundation and she was crushed into a
ifeless mass and her body nearly sew
cred in twain at the waist. The chill
dren, however, were unhurt.
The farm cf Rev T. w. Delong, about
two miles north of town, was next Wis
tied. Here the funnel remained al
most stationary for a few moments,
while its tail swung around to the east
of the house, striking the stable, corn
cribs and sheds and whirling them in q
confused mass over the prairie to the
north, leaving the house intact A mo-
house in a cloud and when it cleared
away not even the foundation was left
standing.
Rev. Delong and family, consisting
of wife and three children, had taken
refuge in the cellar and were unhurt.
On went the cyclone, tearing down
fences and uprooting small trees and
shrubbery in its way until it reached
Bone creek bridge on the Meadville
road, which also disappeared. A little
later the storm reached a farm house
belonging to George Brown, tenanted
by Charley Trotter, two and half
miles northeast of Ainsworth and two
miles east Of Belongs. Here it made
SO complete a wreck of the house that
not vestige of it remained. Fortu-
nately Mr.. Trotter and family left
home for Ainsworth short time previ-
| ously.
The last place visited was an unten-
anted house belonging to w. H. Hur-
ring of Ainsworth, mile further on.
The wreck was complete, the house
being strewn over the prairie for hund-
reds of yards. At this point the cyclone
| dissolved into a black cloud.
All crops were completely destroyed
and much stock killed in the course Of
the storm.

the bedside. The bishop became con-
scious shortly before his death and rec
ognized his wife, Mrs. U. S. Grant and
others, who arrived at the scene mo-
ment or so later. Mrs. Newman is al
most crushed by her bereavement. In
asmuch as she is in comparatively feeble
health, it is believed she will not long
survive her husband. kilograms and
cablegrams of sympathy are coming
from all points. A dispatch from Bishop
Randolph Foster at Roxbury, Mass, an
nounces that he will reach Saratoga to-
day and complete arrangements for the
funeral. 1t will take place at the First
Methodist Episcopal church in this city
Saturday afternoon.
Bishop Newman was elected a bishop
in 1888 and under the regulations Of the
general conference he had to chose be-
tween Omaha and Houston, Tex, as his
episcopal residence. He elected to come
to Omaha and until 1896 he continued
to make his home in that city. 1t was
source ofregret to many of his friends
that he was never provided with an
episcopal residence, and this fact is said
to have had material influence in in
ducing the board Of bishops to remove
him to San Francisco.

about three miles from Elko. Several
persons received slight injuries, but it is
thought none were fatally hurt. The
wreck was caused by the rails spread

three sleepers, were overturned and two
day coaches derailed. 1t is miracle

Houston, Tex, July 6.-Acorrespond-
ent has returned from avoyage through
the flood districts. The half has not
been told of the havoc wrought. The
disaster is so appalling that description
is not possible. After this flood will
come sickness undoubtedly, and what q
week ago was the fairest part of Texas
is now almost God -forsakeh wilder
ness. The waters of the Brazos have
for six days covered its lands from six
to thirty feet; where week ago there
We're on every hand fields of cotton and
corn and thousands of acres OF melons,
today there is Shiny mud over all the
vegetation. The carcasses of cows,
mules, pigs, dogs and cats. mayhap
humans, for many are missing, are to
be seen on every hand. The party left
at sunrise yesterday, going to the Nava-
sofa bottoms. Everything is under
water from two to seventeen feet. 1t
looked on all sides like great lake,
and the water was so high that for vast
area it completely submerged the tele-
graph and telephone poles along the
line. In truth, portions of the Nava-
sofa bottoms are even now a perfect sea,
extending four or five miles wide at q
certain point. saw hundreds of houses
there totally submerged. The planters
are all nobly helping each other and
taking refuge wherever they can, some
of them seeking safety on housetops.
The food district has length of over
500 miles, breadth Of probably SO
miles and in all this vast space in
calculable damage has been done.
The loss to life will never be fully
known, perhaps. The bottoms were
thiclzly settled, mostly with negro ten
ant farmers and among these has been
the greatest loss of life. To- show the
damage done the following estimates
have been made by men who are in a
position to know:
Lives lost, from 100 to 300; loss to farm
ers, including crops as well as live stock,
from So, ,OOO, 600 to SIS ZOO, 900; damage
| to railroads and to country bridges, 3d.
600, 900 to $4,OOO,OOO. These estimates
are taken in the whole area. It is
known that more than 60 people have
met their deaths, that many bodies hav-
ing been recovered.

Granville.

MANCHESTER, KY, July 2S.-Five
gamer men never looked through the
sights of a Winchester than Granville,
George, Pies, Carlo and Peter PhiIpot.
Granville, or "Peg-Leg," as his friends
call him, was a Federal soldier and several
until the battle of Stone river, where he
lost his right leg. He was noted for his
cool courage in battle and his universal
good-humor. George Philpot has been
forced into several affrays and has al
ways carried himself with the true Phil
pot courage. Pies Philpot Sr has always
been of a quiet disposition, but when the
emergency comes up he stands his ground
without 1inching. Peter and Carlo are
young men. In the battle with Aaron
Morris and the Griffins on Monday of last
week these young men distinguished
themselves by keeping the enemy at bay
and routing him. 1t was Peter who shot
off the top of Aaron Morris head and put
several more bullets through him before
he fell from his horse. He is remarkably
quick on the trigger and is considered
one of the best rife and revolver shots in
Clay county. He is an athlete in build
and appearance and can walk twenty-five
miles day over the mountains. Carlo
has just attained his majority and has a
boyish appearance, but he, too, is handy
