| hhe wafer EXTENDED aCl oSs the
island. Mr.. Timmins said it was
three feet deep in the rotunda of
the fremont hotel and was six
feet deep in Market street.
Along the water front the dam
age was very great. The roofs
had been blown from all the ele-
vators, and the sheds along the
wharves were either wrecked or
had lost their sides and were of
no protection to the contents.
Most of the small sailing craft
were wrecked and were either
piled up on the wharves or float,
ing side up in the bay. There is
small steamship ashore three
miles north of Pelican island, but
Mr.. Timmons could not distin-
gulsh her name. She was flying
British flag. Another big yes,
sci has been driven ashore at Vir.
ginia Point and still another ia
aground at Texas City. At the
south point of Houston island an
unknown ship lies in helpless
condition.
The lightship that makes Gal.
weston bar is hard and fast aground
at Bolivar point.
Mr.. Timmins and the men with
him on the schooner secured two
sailors from the middle bay who
had been many hours in the water.
These men were foreigners and
he could gain no information from
them.
A wreck of vessel which
looked like a large steam tug was
observed just before the party
landed. In the day the carcases
of nearly 200 horses and mules
were seen, but no human body
was visible. The scenes during
the storm, Mr.. Timmins said,
could not be described. Women
and children were crowded into
the Trement hotel, where he was
seeking shelter, and all night
these unfortunates were bemoan.
ing their losses of kindred and
fortune. They were grouped
about the stairways and the gal.
leries and rooms of the hotels.
What was occurring in the other
parts of the city he could only
conjecture.
The city of Galveston, he says,
is now entirely submerged and
cut off from communication. The
boats are gone, the railroads can.
not be operated, and the water
is so high people cannot walk out
by way of the bridge across the
bay even should that bridge be
standing.
Provisions will be badly needed
as a great majority of the people
lost all they had. The water
works power house was wrecked
ard a water famine is threatened,
as the cisterns were all ruined by
the overflow of salt water. This,
MIR. Timmins regards as the most
serious problem to be faced now.
The city is in darkness, the elec
trio plant having been ruined.
There is no way of estimating
the property damage at present.
So far as he could see or hear,
Mr.. Timmins says the east end
portion of the city which is the
resident district, has been prac.
tically wiped out of existence.
On the west end, which faces
the Gulf on another portion Of
the island, much havoc was done.
The beach has been swept clean,
the bath houses are destroyed
and many of the residences are
total wrecks.

The painting by the French artist,
Theobald Chartran, representing the

on view at the Knoedler gallery. The
picture was painted on commission
given by Henry c. Frick, OF Pittsburgh.
1t is to be exhibited at the Paris salon
next May. There is an opinion preva-
lent that Mr.. Prick ultimately will pre-
sent the canvas to the nation.

WOULD ABOLISH LOCK STEP.
Makes an Important RECON-
ss-f mendatiOn.

! q. y - &
The abolition of the lock step and
convict stripes in the prisons OF the
state is recommended by the state pris-
on: commission, Of which Lispenard
Stewart, of New York city, lis presi-
dent. In its annual report to be sub
mitted to the legislature the commits
sion contends that the chief object Of
imprisonment is the protection Of so
ciety, which can be more effectua1ly ac-
compished by the reformation Of the
prisoner rather than by simply punish
ing him, and that imprisonment should
be corrective rather than punitive.
Hence it is recommended that moth
ing should be done to crush thespris-
Soner's self-respect or unnecessarily hu-
initiate him, and suggestio is made
that, in the Judgment OF the commits
sion, it is worth while for the prison
authorities to conside Ter VIII ether the
lock step, as practiced in the prisons,
lis not unnecessarily humiliating and
degrading to convicts and not in keep
ing with hesapproved methods Of re-
sformatory imprisonment.

ADDS ANATOMY.
University of Chicago Takes a De-
parture - Work of Dissection by
Students Begins in Laboratory

The University of Chicago has intro
duced the study of human anatomy in
it's curriculum and the work of dissec-
ton was begun the other day for the
first time in the university laboratory.
So far as known, the university stands
alone among the schools not distinctly
medical to Introduce human dissection
in the classroom. The class is open to
both men and women, and the course
is taken not only by students prepar-
ing for medical schools but by students
of sociology, biology and allied sciences.
Seventeen men are enrolled already.
DR.. H. III. Donaldson, head of the de-
partment, has general supervision of
the work. The laboratory work is in
charge of DR.. H. W. Lewis, surgical in
tern at Cook county hospital.
'The study of human anatomy" said
DR.. Donaldson, "has been taken up in
accordance with the plans of the uni
Verslty to give preparatory course for
medical colleges. Many of the students
taking the course are preparing for a
study of medicine. Oothers take it up
in its relation to other sciences. It is
perhaps the first time human dissec-
ton has been brought on university
campus when the medical buildings
were not there. It is only natural
step, however. Physiology and chem
istry were originally fostered by the
medical colleges. The university had
a building fitted for the work. Rush
medical college is interested in seeing
the work carried on as supplementing
it's preparatory courses"
