The finest natural harbor in Puerto
Rico is at Jobos, on the southeast
coast. 1t is large enough and deep
enough to accommodate ships of any
draught, but it needs an improved en-
trance. In addition to the commercial
value of Jobos harbor, it has a strate-

not rare in the New England states
and in Michigan. 1t is ~infrequent in
Wisconsin, Illinois and California, but
In some localities in the latter state it
has a very rank growth.
The characteristic poison of the
hemlock is the w%ell-known volatile al
kaloid, CONNIE, which is found in the
seeds, and, especially at towering
time, in the leaves. The root is nearly
harmless in March, April and May,
but is dangerous afterwards, especial
ly during the first year of it's growth.
Many domestic animals have been
killed by eating the plant. AS this
plant does not often occur in great
quantity in the United States, it may
usually be destroyed by hand-pulling
before maturity.

(By Telegraph to VirginianPilot)
New Orleans, Oct. 31.-The Times
Democrat tomorrow will print the
final reports of its correspondents on
the cotton crop of 1900. The crop is an
exceedingly spotted one.
The concensus of opinion appears to
be that. making the allowance for a
moderate increase of acreage. IL maxi
mum of yield of 100000 bales Is on
the cards. This would mean an eX-
cess of about 100000 as compared with
the actual production of 1899. The
Superabundance of Texas has been Off

THE COUNTS DEBTS.

The income of the countess. he went
on to set forth, was 600 francs.
Since the marriage 100000 francs had
been expended. and the debts now
amounted To 22O00000 francs. The
Gould family had met in consultation,
and unanimously decided TO authorize
Mr.. George Gould to make the present
application. The debts. Maitre Bonnet
said, were the following: 3.fo2. 900
francs in connection with the Charity
Bazaar building and hotel in the Rue
Malakoff. etc. ETC.; 6.5S5.260 francs on
mortgages payable from 1900 to 1909;
4293.l55 francs on bills and money
loaned; 100000 francs owing to curio
dealers. Maitre Bonnet went on to as
sert that the creditors distralned on
the Seine ct Disc property, anu that
the family had to intervene to prevent
the sale.
With regard 10 the fitness of George
Gould to be trustee. Maitree Bennett
pointed out that his fortune was larger
than that of the Countess. that author
lily based on affection would be great
and that no one was better qualified,
pointed executor of his fathers will.
Another consideration was that the

A SAD CASE.

a little knowledge is a dangerous
thing and half way doings are noto-
riously disastrous. The girl at Bling
hampton, n. Y. who knew enough to
hypnotic heg intended husband, but
not enough to unhypnotiZe him, is Il
sad illustration of these propositions.
She is left in n fix on the eve OF her
wedding with groom on her hands
who is fast asleep and who shows no
symptoms of waking up. And as to
what he will say when he does wake
is a question. There are many men in
this world who would balk good deal
before marrying Il woman who has the
power of putting them into a trance
and is uncertain about pulling them
out. The arrangement seems to put
too much advantage on one side.

THIRTY-FIVE KILLED.
Awful Catastrophe On a Southern
Railroad.

ATLANTA, Ca, June 26.-Thirty- five
passengers on a Southern railway
train were killed in wreck near Nc
Donough. Not one of the train crew
or of the travellers in the day coach
escaped. Ten persons only, the occu-
pants of the Pullman coach, the last
car of the train. live to tell the story.
A cloud-burst, followed by flood in
Camps creek, washed out 100 feet of
the track. Running at full speed in a
terrific rainstorm, the train plunged
into the gap in the road. Baggage
car, second-class coach and the first
class coach were smashed into splin-
tiers. On top of them crashed the
Pullman coach. Then, in the bottom
of a gorge, partly covered with water
and with torrents of rain falling, the
wreck Of the train caught fire. The
Pullman passengers managed to make
their way out to the track, but no help
for the others could be had. In the
morning rescue parties had nothing to
do but gather together the thirty-five
mangled and burned corpses, some of
which had been carried by the current
a long way from the scene of the
disaster.
