two houses are still standing there it
is supposed that the loss of life was
greater than this. Seventeen persons

At Brookshire also four deaths are
reported. and there four houses are
still standing.
Towns further north add to the sto-
ries OF horror. Cypress, Hockey, Wal
Ter and Hampstead are thought to have
lost about 20 per cent of their build

At Taylor the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas depot was destroyed and several
lives are reported lost.
Bastrop, Smithville and Temple also
suffered very heavily, both in lives
and property.
Galveston beautiful City.
Galveston, the second largest city in
Texas and the commercial metropolis
of that state. is situated at the north
east extremity OF Galveston island, at
mouth Of the bay of the same name.
1t is beautiful city, laid cut with wide
and straight streets, bordered with
numerous flower gardens, magnolias,
towering shrubs and trees. The streets
are only a few feet above the sea and
have been frequently swept by surging
waves stirred up by cyclones and tor
nadoes.
The city is the third cotton shipping
port in the United States. Its foreign
and domestic trade is large. Its total

sufferer in the hurricane horror of
southern Texas.
Port Arthur. its rival further to the
east, has escaped with drenching
from foot of water in the streets and
with the loss of few piers.
But many other towns and villages
and cities have suffered as well as Gal
weston, and, in proportion to their
size. suffered almost as severely.
The situation for all of southern
Texas is terrible one, but for Calves

ENGLISH rIPropPERs' PAY.

what the Leading Men of All Profess
sions Earn In England.
1t pays to be at the top of things.
Money is always attendant upon repu-
tation, for nowadays the successful
man is well rewarded for his ability. :
Diplomacy seems to be one Of the most
paying professions to follow. THE
salary of an ambassador" Is a we'll
known saying when any one wishes to
indicate that such and such person Is
possessed of great wealth. Sir e. j.
Monon. our ambassador at Paris, Is
the most highly paid of all those vigil
liant gentlemen who guard our inter-
ests abroad. He receives for his SER
vices the princely income Of $4,000
year. After him comes Sir H. Rumbold
at Vienna, with $4,000; Sir F. G. Las
celles, at Berlin, with the same yearly
sum, and Sir Charles Stewart Scott,
who draws 27,SOO from the public
purse to represent us in st. Peters
burg. All the English diplomats are
we'll paid. Here is list of some OF
them, giving the place at which they
reside and the income that comes TO
them for it: Washington, G6,50O;
Rome. $1,000; Turkey, $4,000; Toxic,
$4,000; Egypt, $4,000; Teheran,
95,OO0-a list taken at random, which
serves to show the large earnings OF
our representatives. The English
church is still paying profession for
the men at the head of it. The arch
bishop of Canterbury, DR.. Temple, en-
Joys. and indeed earns, the nice little
sum of G15,000 a year, while his COL
league of York is, like the bishop OF
London, paid 10000 for his arduous
and never-ending labors. The earl OF
Mimic, the governor of Canada, heads
the list of governors with 10000, and
after him comes Sir Alfred Miner OF
Cape Town with $4,000. Lord Beau
champ Of New South Wales gets 97,-
900, as also does Gen. Grenfell, who
looks after that island fort, Malta.
Sums of $4,000, $4,000, and $4,000
are common salaries. Consul-generals
are munificently paid. Two of them
Viscount Cromer of Cairo and Sir Fl.
M. Durand of Teheran-each receive
$4,000 year. For being first lord OF
the admiralty Mr.. Goschen draws ga
500, while Sir Richard Webster, until
the last few days, enjoyed as attorney
general $1,000 Mr. Chamberlain has.
| besides his own large private fortune,
$4,000 as his official salary, while for
commanding the army Lord Wolseley
gets 94,5OO. The home secretary, Sir
Matthew White Ridley, has $4,000 in
salary. Despite the large figures given
above, no one, not even the archbishop
himself, can compare in his earnings
with those of a successful bsrrister.
Of all "tip-top" men, your leading
counsel is the most fortunate. Lord
Russell of Killowen as barrister
made something like 100000 year

blown off the tracks about two miles
north of Alvin Mrs. Prather OF Ros-

dozen people were injured.
The train was running slowly at the
time of the wreck, which accounts for
the comparatively small loss of life.
The cal in which Mrs. Prather was rid

she was pinned down with her head
out of window in such manner
that she drowned before help came.

with the hurricane which visited Gal

SUPPLY OF IRON.
World Consumes About 9O,OoO.o0O Tons
q Year.

A good deal of anxiety has been felt
during the last two years as to the
available supplies of iron ore and fuel.
The total worlds consumption of iron
ores in 1899 was probably more than
80, 900, 900 tons. OF this quantity the
United States contributed more than
22,OOO,0O0. But in all countries alike
exceptional efforts were made to in
crease the output so as to overtake the
greatly stimulated demand. These eff
forts are still being continued, says the
Engineering Magazine. Spain has
been ransacked from one end to the
other, in order to increase the avail
able supplies. France is opening up
new sources of supply in Greece, North
Africa and elsewhere. The Germans
have sought to acquire almost mon
opoly of the supply of Swedish lap
land-within the Arctic circle-for
number of years to come, and have
concluded arrangements which point
to their belief that iron ores are likely
to become increasingly scarce. This IS
general apprehension, and il it is
justified by the facts. then it seems to
be probable that this condition may
mainly determine future supremacy.
Nine. de Stael once observed that
Providence fights on the side of the
biggest battalions" In the war of COM
merce and industry it is conceivable
that Providence may in future seem to
interpose on behalf of the nation that
has the largest available supplies OF
cheap iron ores.-Chicago Record.
