Houston, Tex. Sept. t2.-Later dis
PEACHES show that the tempest and
floods which swept over Galveston and
the coast country OF Texas on Satur-
day and Saturday night probably
caused the greatest tragedy Of the CEN
fury. The dead OF Galveston will
number 1000; the number of dead in
the coast country will not be known
Tor several days or maybe week, but
as each small town is heard from the
story is OF three dead. five dead, ten
dead. fifteen dead and so on. The set
Elements off from the more easily
reached towns are as yet inaccessible
The state of Texas will act through
the person of Governor Savers, but
the tragedy is so appalling. its money
loss so great, that the aid of the peo-
pie OF all the Union may be needed
II is estimated that between 1000 and
5000 buildings in Galveston have been
destroyed. OF those that stand many
will have TO be torn down as a matter
OF safety. To bury the dead will be
task OF several days.
The whole south side OF the city
from end to end was stripped of every
yestige OF habitation from the shore

The dead from the graves were
washed up and cast ont uDon the wa

Breeding of Belgian Hares by Mr.. Var
Allen.
The Belgian hare has for some time
been a popular pet and its breeding a
business matter in California. where a
thousand dollars for a buck has been
paid Eastern people have given the
subject little attention until lately.
Some months ago Mr.. Van Allen, of
Church street, purchased some import
ed pedigree Belgians and began breed
ing them. He now has an established
rabbitry that is we'll worth a visit All
interested in pet stock, or who desire to
look into the subject from business
standpoint, will find plenty to interest
them at Mr.. Van Aliens. His stock is
of a superior grade, and is we'll cared
for. The Belgians are much heavier
and larger than common rabbits, some
of them weighing fourteen or more
pounds each. To-day Mr.. Van Allen
ships twenty-eight hares to the Cugley
Pet Stock Emporium in Philadelphia.
A few days ago he sold pedigree pair
to Mr.. f. A. Thompson. Of Hartford,
general agent of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company He also ships at once
four pairs to Portchester, N. Y, and is
constantly receiving orders. His rab-
bitry affords a novel and pleasing sight,
and will interest anyone who cares for
pet stock, or who contemplates raising
hares for market or table use.--Brlstol

HOT WEATHER IN ARIZONA.
How the People of Phoenix Sleep in the
Summer.

| HOW Lut People OF HnUellA steep III The
Summer.
| The cottonwoods have shed their cat
erpilars; there has been thunder
storm; mesquite wood has fallen in
price; Indians are selling bows and ar
rows; the rose and the oleander have
long been out; oranges are in bloom;
the umbrella tree is putting out its
| leaves; last summers suit has been
! cleaned and pressed; the small boy has
gone swimming in the canal; the wise
man stays up nights and steals irriga-
ton water from his neighbors; alfalfa
is most ready to cut; strawberries have
] been shipped; mulberries are nearly
ripe; summer will soon be here, and the
/ Phoenix summer bedroom will soon be
| necessary.
Phoenix sleeps out of doors in the
summer and the bedroom is born of
that necessity 1t is on stills; is built
of wire screen or fine mesh, for the
Phoenix mosquito is microscopic in size.
1t Is furnished, according to the taste

to keep out the morning sun, the gaze
of the curious, and the landstorm.
The bed is a cot of canvas or woven
wire, covered perhaps with sheet, but
even sheet feels like feather bed on
a Phoenix summer night The bed COW
ering is the roof of the bedroom, and
careless folk who consult their comfort
only don't wear nightshirts.
Phoenix is proud of its climate dur
ing eight months of the year, but it
doesn't talk niue hin public about it's
midsummer. 1t is a right warm day
when the government weather bureau
doesn't know what the sun temperature
is, and is unable to determine it, and
that is how hot it gets in Phoenix. /
called on Observer Burns one day last
July and asked him what the official"
temperature was in the sun, He said
he did not know. and that the govern
ment couldn't afford to experiment to
that end. He said he had attempted to
catch the sun temperature during the
summer of 1888, and had broken O three

please my curiosity he hung thermom-
eter in the sun, watched it until it req
istered 1875 degrees and then took it in.
fearing it would break.
The dryness of the atmosphere re-
lieves this great heat Of any terrors to
all living things except women and
cats. There is a saying in Phoenix that
in summer women and cats are nerv-
ously Frustrated, while men and dogs
thrive and grow fat There is a luxury
in quenching ones thirst during the
SIMMER heat that is DOSsibla nowhere
this side Of the hereafter, and nothing
will quench it so well as water. The
average mortal can drink a gallon of
water a day during the heated time and
apparently every drop Of it comes C~t

1887 the Jewish market in Toledo was
suppressed A few years later their
synagogues were taken from them, In
1880 the followers of the meek and mer-
ciful Jesus, plotting the further oppreS-
sion and robbery of the Jews, circula-
ted a false story to the effect that the
rabbis had stolen and crucitied a boy
named Juan PaSamonte, in order to pre-
serve his heart in hostia as charm
against the InquiSition. The absurd
tale is commemorated in fresco near
the beautiful cloister gate called FL
Nino Perdidi;" and like the similar sto-
ry of ST. Hugh of Lincoln. is favorite
theme with poets and painters. IN l47S
every Jew who had not been baptized
was put under the ban; and when the
Inquisition was established in Toledo
seventeen thousand Jews became good
Catholics at single stroke! In l492 eV--
cry unbaptized Jew was compelled by
Ferdinand and Isabella to leave Spain,
and upwards of one hundred and sew
enty thousand of them were cruelty eX-
PEELED and their property contiscated.
Thus Spain lost her best citizens, be-
cause of course it was only honest men
who chose banishment and poverty
rather than become false to their faith.
AS they went forth from the gates of
the city which they believed had been
founded by their ancestors away back
in the days of acknowledgements, they
must have felt that their time of cap
tivity had come again, and that once
more as an outcast people, they had to
hang their harps upon the willows
Jewish persecution ended long ago in
Spain, and now they may worship when
and how they will; but, being descended
from those who foresWore their faith in
time Of trouble they are not, as rule
the most desirable neighbors.

Monday morning told the others, In
the afternoon they went out equipped
for battle with big game, and We're
gutyed by all who saw them start In
the early evsning they returned with
six fish which tipped the scales as fol-
lows: Eighteen and one-half pounds,
sixteen pounds, two eleven and one-half
pounds each, seven pounds, four and
one-half pounds; total of the six, sixty
nine pounds These fish were caught
from the Pennington river between
