DOES DAMAGE IN MINNESOTA
Storm Causes Rainfall and Washouts
on Railroads.


st. Paul. Mimi, Sept. 1.-THE tail
end of the West Indian storm which
devastated Galveston, struck the city
last night and today, making itself ap-
parent in the heaviest rainfall ever re-
corded in the local weather Office. In
sixteen hours there was a Dreci0ita-
ton OF 4.23 inches, most of which fell
between 1870 last night and 1880 this
morning.
The rains caused several bad wash
outs on the Great Northern in the
northern part of the state, one at Cold
Springs and others between Deer
Springs and Shevlin- The first resulted
in carrying away a long bridge and a
few cars of a passing train, but the
engine passed before the bridge went

GENIUS FOR LAUNDERING.

What Chinese Native Operators Can Do to English Telegrams.
 T see that the war department is growing because General Chaftee's tel egramS get mixed up in transmission, said New Orleans steamship agent. ''Mr. Root will probably become used to that sort of thing if the eastern situa-
 ton is prolonged. The telegraph lines in China are all owned by the govern ment and operated by natives, and the way that a Chinese teleGrapher can
 muddle and mangle the plainest Eng fish message amounts to positive gen. jus Very few of them speak our lan- suage, and they simply pick out the letters as best they can and tick them off mechanically, which is bound to re- suit in all sorts of amazing blunders, particularly if the cable dispatch is 'rolayed' through different offices. Ill that connection an English friend of mine tells an amusing story He is a partner in q big machinery house that does good deal of business in China, and some time ago it became necessary to bable it's foreign representatives some special information in regard to G4l iiiipol ltlII COulTuCl. ! llc d5elL NaS at Foo-ChoW, and the message was sent 10 the consul there, via Hong g-Kong, be- ing relayed, or repeated, about midway, a Annoy It ran thus: Tell Day Ghe representative ) to close first bid.' That seemed clear enough, but tho Hong-hong operator must have given it some astonishing twists, and I sup pose the fellow at Annoy put on the fin- ishing touches. Anyhow, It was re- eeiyed at Foo-Chow in this shape: Tuesday glucose TUT bed Of course, both Day and the consul took it for granted that the thing was in cipher, but when they tried to figure 1t out by the mercantile code book they were Wores perpleXed than ever.

MTTK AS FOOD,

Those who believe in milk will have
 their belief confirmed and strengthened
 hy the result of series of extended experiments which were conducted mainly, at bQarding-house Of the
 Maine State College, one object being
 to determine the influence of an abun- 6ant milk supply on the character and cost of living. These experiments were conducted under circumstances and with a sufficient number of persons to eliminate any serious error likely to arise from a difference in individuals. In the first trial it was noted that in passing from a limited to an unlimited milk supply, the consumption of milk increased 136 ounces daily for each man, while the animal food decreased 10 6 ounces. In the second trial the passage from a limited to an unlimited milk supply resulted in daily increased consumption of 12.3 ounces of milk for each man, and in the decrease Of other animal foods of 2,1 ounces, and of vegetable foods 12.8 ounces. The diff ference in cost of the table between the periods Of limited and unlimited milk supply was in the first trial s450 daily, and in the second S1.57 in favor of the milk diet IL was satisfactory proof to the Investigators that milk is an eco- nomical food. Even skinned milk, aeo(reing to Henry E. AlFord, all ex- pert, contains more nutrients for the same money than almost any other fopd product. and furnishes to the poor Of cities, where it's sale is not blindly prohibited, cheap and valuable food.

4 OOD LIH,


 Now is the time to call attention to good law which was made for the purpose of increasing the goodness Of the good people of Connecticut. 1t IS section 274 of the general statutes, ana it reads as follows: Every person who shall bet on any election or who shall be a holder of anything staked upon any election shall be fined not less than soo nor more than $1O0."
 Do not bet on the election, but if you must bet there is no need of being sly or hypocritical about it. Nobody will do anything to you for betting, except the man who punishes you by winning your money. And nobody will do any thing to him for betting and winning your money. This is the land of ateady habits and our habits are very steady when they get really established.

4 ETER THE "A CTS,

The president of the Southern Whole sale Groeers' Association, with head quarters at Birmingham, Alabama, has made a move in the right direction. He is going to try to gather some accurate and useful information concerning the operation of trusts and their effects upon labor and industrial conditions. He is sending out letters of inquiry to men in every department of industrial activity in every section of the Union asking for expressions of opinion as to the effect of the combines on business and prices, and whether regulation by law is considered desirable or neces- sary.
 There has been a lot of loose talk about trusts, and much political howl ing about them. But the truth is that nobody knows very much about their working yet It is not even known that many of them can continue to work at all. When the facts are gathered and fairly considered the trust scare may lose some of its impressiveness, Any how, the facts are wanted, and this southern move to get them is sensible and commendable,

risen ne-quarter of one per cent, two interesting pieces of detached inforna- tion, but scarcely germane to China or the machinery business. Neither 'glu- cose' nor bed was in the book. They puzzled over the message for week and finally gave it up as a bad job, and, in the mean while, the contract went by the board. The firm has both the original and the transmitted mes sage, handsomely framed, hanging in it's London office as an Oriental curio and a warning to have nothing to do with Chinese lightning singers. If MT, Root could feast his eyes on that orna- ment for while he might become more philosophical ill regard to slight inaccu- racies in Chaffee's communications. '-- New Orleans Times Democrat.

SHE PLAYED GHOST.
The Sport Cost Florence Almond Her Life.

| Life.
 | Florence Almond, a ffteen-year-old | white girl whose home was at 5745 1 Ludlcw street, was killed in field near her home al nine o'clock last night, and the police of the Twenty-frst, Twenty
 ninth Sixteenth and Thirty-second dis tricts together with the entire detee-
 tive force of the Central station, are hot on the track of Oscar McFaul, aged
 nineteen, and Andrew Bettiers aged twenty, who are believed to have caused her death.
 The story as gleaned from people liv- ing in the neighborhood, which, while thickly populated, is marked by several open lots, covered with underbrush, is that Florence who was a girl of merry disposition, much given to practical joking, determined to have a little fun at the expense of some of the colored residents of the neghborhood by mas querading as ghost. She enveloped herself in a white sheet and, cautiously making her way to one of the open spaces near her homs, suddenly came upon q group of young men and chii- dren who were gathered there enjoying the cool of the evening. There were shrieks of terror from some of the younger members of the party, who
 fled precipitately at the approach of the apparition which went gliding over the lot in uncanny fashion.
 No sound proceeded from the white figure as it faded slowly away in the darkness, and this very silence added to the terror of tine superstltiGus ne groec, who went fleeing toward their momes with cries that they had seen a ghost.
 Then. it is said, some of the older and bolder members of the party, led by McFaul and Bettiers, plucked up sufl- cient courage to follow after the appa- rition, first arming themselves with stones and blickSs as measure of pre- caution. As the ghost sped lightly across the field the spirits of the pursu CTS grew higher and one of the men threw . missile at the fleeing appari- tion. It failed to hit the mark, but the stone or brick proved the signal of q regular fusilade, and as McFaul and Battiers gained upon the annnrition one of them hurled q brick with unerrlng aim and the figure sank to the ground with a moan.
 In few minutes the pursucrs came upon the prostrate form lying in the field and to their horror discovered that the supposed ghost was little Florence Almond. The child was un- conscious and bleeding from terrible wound in the back of the head A hur- ry call was made to the nearest station house, and while the police, who quick ly responded, were on the way to the scent, McFaul and Bettiers disappeared

RISSId,S PLAN.

Awhile ago the United States ap- peared to be the great diplomatic leader of the nations in the Chinese
 business Now Russia seems to occupy
 that proud place. The more Russia s
 plan is considered the more interesting it becomes, It is thorough and eompre-
 hensive According to her statement, Russia has no designs of territorial ao- ouisition in China Equally with other powers now operating there, Russia has sought the safety Of the legations at
 Peking and to help the Chinese gov ernment to repress the troubles. Incl dentally to necessary defensive meas ures on the Russian border, Russia has occupied NeiuehWang for military pur- poses and, as soon as order is re-estab- Iished will retire troops therefrom if the action of other powers be no obstacle thereto. The purpose for which the va rious governments have co-operated for the rellet or the leSallOnS III feklilS mas been accomplished, Taking the posi- tion that, as the Chinese government has left Picking, there is no need for her representative to remain, Russia has directed the Russian minister to retire with his official personnel from China. The Russian troops will like wise be withdrawn. When the govern ment of China shall regain the reins of government and afford an authority with which the other powers can deal, and will express desire to enter into ne- gotiations, the Russian government will also name its representative.
 It now looks as # this plan would be adopted by all concerned It Is at least a reasonable and temperate one and one which will not further damage the damaged face of the Chinese.

An interesting account of the rnanu- fracture of Panama hats is sent to the State department by Consul de Leon
 from Guayaquil, Ecuador. The hat is made from a native grass which much resembles our saw palmetto. When the grass attains the proper height it is cut just before ripening, boiled in hot water, and after being thoroughly dried is sorted for use. The straw is make it pliable, and then very finely divided into requisite lengths, the little purpose The plating commences at the apex of the crown and is continued in circular form until the hat is finish ed. The work is carried on while the atmosphere is humid, from about mid night to a. m. It requires from three to five months daily labor of three hours per day to make one of the finest hats. The business in it's highest de- velopment is really an art, requiring patience fine sight and special skill. The plating completed, the hat is washed in clean cold water, coated with a thin solution of gum, and polished with dry powdered sulphur. They are so pliable they can be rolled up without
