Galveston, Sept. 15.-The first real
attempt to clear away the great mass
Of debris piled along the beach front
for a distance of several miles was be-
gun yesterday. 1t is hoped a vigorous
prosecution Of this work will lead to
early recovery of the bodies still in
the debris. That there are many Of
them there is no shadow Of doubt, as
the stencil at different points is abso-
lutely sickeniug. Everywhere little
groups Of men. women and children,
some of them poorly provided with
raiment, were digging in the ruins Of
their homes for what little household

THE BIG Uranium,

9uy VanAlster was not bad fellow
All his faults might have been summed
up In the single statement that he had
IN exaggerated estimate of his own
worth. When he was clerk In q dry
goods store he was quite sure he knew
more about the business than his en-
pfoyer ever would learn. The employer
disputed this and stopped his pay.
Then the youth turned his back on vul-
gar trade and went to school, although
he did not expect to md any one who
could teach him anything. The truth
was that Guy VanAlster had made up
his mind to be great. and the added
education might help, little.
From school to a newspaper Office
was only = step. so vanAlster took it.
There he met rude men with ideas Of
their own. They Jared on his nerves,
but did not lessen one whit his deter
minatio1 to be great. All the time be
was wondering in his own peculiar way
why gentlemen never became manag-
ing and city editors.
Five years passed, and the nearest
that TanAlster got to greatness was
the police beat. Something was wrong,
90 he set about to discover it and ap-
ply the remedy. In his mental in
ventory Of the great men who had gone
before he came upon Greeley. He
could not recall any Of the accomplish
ments of that editor which he could
not duplicate with ease and improve
on, 30 he concluded that much must
depend on method. Greeley could hard
ly decipher ais own writing. Greeley
wore whiskers Of q peculiar cut. Van
Alster thought he had struck the key.
He was already great, but no one knew
it.
At the office they we're somewhat
surprised when VanAlster grew a
fierce looking mustache and goatee and
wondered what was the matter with
the youny mans nerves. His writing
had alwa! been as plain as print. Now
it was the writing of an old man. They
did not know that VanAlster had staid
up nights practicing how not to write
legibly. They did not know. either,
that he had almost persuaded himself
to grow a beard of the Greeley cut, but
at the last moment had weakened and
compromised on the goatee. Finally
VanAlster's writing became so imper-
feet that he could hardly read it him
SELF He practiced variations He
would write up hill and then down.
He would dor his 'te's" and cross his

concluded he must have been studying

Many Of Che Yellow stone Park Wan
dsrs Are Now Extinct.
We would avoid posing as alarmists
respecting the decline of geyser activ-
ity in the Yellowstone national park.
but, nevertheless, II the recent appar-
ent rate of decline continues, it seems
likely that within decade many OF
the scenes which attract US most will
have disappeared. 1t was my privilege
to visit the national park on August s.,
1896, and again August 5, 1899, and
certainly the evidence Of change dur
ing these short years seems startling.
It may be said in general way that
there is an apparent decline of geyser
phenomena everywhere throughout the
park. Around the splendid terraces at
the mammoth hot springs, buildings
now stand where there was steaming
hot water in 1885. Minerva terrace,
which was boiling and which presented
q fine array Of geyserite in 1895. is fall
ing into decay. Large blocks Of the
formation" are falling from the rims
and sides of the basins. To the eye
the amount OF water which flows over
Pulpit terrace and Jupiter terrace is
noticeably less. The lattice work, con-
structed for the purpose Of spraying
and incrusting curios, was changed to
a new spot where water was still fiow-
ing. The narrow gauge, which may be
called a assure vent, though still show
ing life, is extinct, as compared with
conditions four years ago. In the Nor
ris geyser basin the most obvious
change is in the Black Grower. which
formerly emitted volumes Of steam
from an oblique vent by the roadside.
The steam jet is now divided and the
volume Of steam and its roar and dis
play of energy greatly diminished. The
Fountain geyser. which was such a
favorite that the Fountain hotel was
located at that spot, is now wholly ex-
tinct. and tourists are complaining be-
cause they must waste time stopping
at this hotel. The giant paint pots are
now SO contracted in size that one can
walk over what was short time ago
boiling mud. The red half is extinct;
the white half active, though reduced
in area In 1895 the Splendid geyser
was attracting attention. Now 1t is
silent and considered extinct. 1t Is re-
placed by the Daisy geyser, an interest
ing but vastly inferior substitute. The
Cascade geyser, another favorite, be-
cause Of the frequency Of its erup-
lions (about every fifteen minutes),
has dropped to an eruption interval Of
once in every twenty-four hours. The
Grand geyser, which used to erupt
once a day, has been active but three
or four times the past season, accord
ing to all accounts. The Beehive gey-
ser, active in 1895, is supposed to Be
wholly extinct Old Faithful seems -
fine as ever, but the interval of erup-
ton is now about seventy-dve or
eighty minutes instead OF once an
hour.
II 1t is possible to Judge fairly Of
such matters, there seems to be In
creasing activity in the ebullition Of
the water in that greatest of geysers,
the Excelsior, which leads to a feeble
hope that it may possibly be rejuvenat-
ed yet once again.-Scientifc Ameri-

A NEW GAME

That Has Some Unpleasant Features
Precsdi.g Rsfreshmsnts-
In the inner or more exclusive circles
of Manayunk society a new game call
ed the silent supper" has been played
this season without loss of life. The
players draw their chairs up to large
dining table, on which there is a tin
pail entitled the kitty at this stage OF
the game, and they begin to pass from
one to another under the table certain
horrible objects, which are taken from
Q wooden bucket held by the leader OF
conductor. They cannot see these OBJ
jects and what they try to do is to pass
them along without making any ex-
elamations of terror or pain. He who
cries out is fined ten cents, which is
thrown into the kitty. The hosts aim
n to build up large and generous kit
u; and 20 he, being in charge Of the
game, sees to 1t that the contents OF
the bucket are as startling as possible
Sometimes harmless little snakes, new
born kittens and puppies, toads and
leeches are passed about, and some
times the bucket Is filled with paste, &C
that every repulsive thing taken from
it is made still more horrible by its
sticky, Shiny coating. When the houl
grows late the name Of the kitty Ii
changed and the tin pail is now called
the duck or growler. Young men are
then deputed to rush or push it to the
nearest saloon, and till the small hours
it circulates, filled with creamy, foamy
beer, which the thirsty guests drink
with avidity-Philadelphia Record.
