Her voice is a dramatic soprano of un- usual power, breadth and thickness. Her yocalization is good and enun- citation very distinct, qualities too often lacking with the average sing CT. The large auditorium was filled with her voice, and every word was uuderstandaole in the remotest cor ner. She sings with com prehension aud expression and already evidenc- es the effect Of intelligent euluya- tion. She is young, and her future is full of promise.

The statement is confidently made that tue taxameter, or cab-fare indi
 cator, will quickly be introduced in all the civilized cities Of the world. It appears that in both Berlin and Lon don, where the taxameter has been adopted 1t has been as popular with the "cabby" as with the fare The reason of thts surprising fact is that this system Of automatic fare indica- ton effectively and permanently in creases the number of fares. Many persons object tn ride in cabs because of tae possibility Of an altercation with the driver as to the amount Of the fare when the trip is ended. All that Is put at an end by the taxamo- ter, which shows, in plain sight, the paid Consequently more persons arc riding in cabs today than ever rode before. and the increase in the number of fares is looked upon as permanent. The taxameter also enables the pro- prietor to controi and check the daily receipts and efficiency of the vehicle or the distance covered by it.

ONLY TWENTY FIVE BALES
Received to Date-FEeat is so Intense That Little Picking
 Can Be Done.

The foiLoWiag cotton letter has been issued by $. C. Alexander & Co.,, under this date September 6.
 The weather in this territory continues extremely hot and dry; yesterday the temperature io sever al localities was reported 100 de. grees and over, while here 100 WAS the maximum Our Mir. Alexander has just returned from trip through the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama and found the crops in that section badly damaged; judging from appearances he thinks the loss will bring the crop 25 per cent un- der last year. He visited the fields personally driving out ten to t5 miles in the country, end in many places found the stalk entirely dead and all the polls open.
 ''Tbe upland country in th.s dis trict has suffered more tdan other places; a good many farmers report that their crops have been cut of 50 per ceat, aud while this may be excessive we do not believe that 25 per cent will cover the loss. Dur ing the past 10 days the river and bottom country has come in for its share of damage.
 "Unlike other dry seasons SeptemA Der is as dry as August aud the heat is almost precedsnted for this sea- son of the year. On account of ex cessive moisture earlier in the sea- son cotton has not the usual tap root to enable it to draw tne moist ure needed now and consequently is in no condition to stand dropth; this accounts for .he opening of half grown polls and the dryipg up of young and tender ones.

Tremendous Power os Cyclones,

Careful estimates of the force of 3 cyclone and the energy required to keep full-aedged hurricane in active operation reveal the presence of a power that makes the naightiest efforts of man appear as nothing in compari- son. A force fully equal to 473,OO0, 900 horse power was estimated as deyel- oped in a West Indian cyclone This is about fifteen times the power that is creatable by all means withio the range of mans capabilities during the same time Were steam, water, wind mills and the strength of all men and all animals combined they could not at all approach the tremendous force exerted by this terrible storm.
