in His report, that not a single building
on the island escaped damage, ana not
more than one in ten remained serv1ceable.

crops and vegetation suffered to such an
extent that the people can expect no sup
port from the soil except from tnat piahteo

"The government house, which is the
governors residence, and In which are the
principal offices, was unroofed, and the
walls Of the galleries on the north side were
severely damaged, in some places being
torn away. The interior was flooded by
rain, and as much damage done as water
could we'll effect. The prison was nearly
unroofed. Barracks No. / was consider

house was considerably damaged. The
building protecting the distilling plant was
unroofed and the smoke pipe partially de-
stroyed. The saw-mill building was com

machine shop. The ice plant was partial

buildings suffered little. The coal sheds at
Agana and Pitt were unroofed. The coal
pile in Pitt was swept away. The naval
warehouse in Pitt was unroofed and the
timbers crushed in. Three Of the bridges

ex-Judge Roger A. Pryor of New York
city, was struck on the head with a piece
Of lead pipe yesterday by man who at
tempted to- rob her. Mrs. Pryor had sew

FRIENDLY CROWS.
A Pair That Haunt q schoOIhOuse- Cav Visitor to ScOtt's
 Statue.

Two crows, said by some in the neighborhood to have been here many years, cav and sometimes fight on the turrets of the Franklin public school building at the southeast corner of Thirteenth and H streets in this city. This is a crows nature. But the strange thing about it is that they are never seen about the building ex- cept on Saturday, Sunday and a holi- day. The presence and noise of the pupils about the grounds might be said to keep the crows away. But the crows are never seen during school hours when there are no children about. Saturdays and Sundays may, by some sort of count of time in the nature of the crows, be known to them. But how about the occasional holidays?" asks the janitor of the building. Holidays are irregular, but the crows know when one comes. and as surely as it does they are on the turrets or about them all day. They come early and stay late, but no one who has watched them knows where they roost, for sometimes they fly in one direction and again in an oppo- site direction.
 There are two colonies of crows about the national capital. One lives out on Columbia heights, in the north ern end of the city, the other on the Virginia shore at the base of the hills of Arlington. It is said by people who have studied crowology that neither flock ever crosses the Potomac.
 There is another old crow which bays a weekly visit to the equestrian Statue of Gen. Scott. He usually cir cles about the head of the general, hops down for minute and then flies away, cawing as he flies. The visit is not made on any particular day, but people in the vicinity say it occurs about once in seven daYs.-Washing ton Star

GRANTS FAST HORSE.
The Learned Announcement of COnkIinE Sn It Agreed with
 the Butchers.

When Gen. Grant was president he was fond of fine horses, as everybody knows, and drove the fastest trotter in Washington. It was his greatest pleas nre to go out on the aqueduct road, which is dead level from Georgetown to Cabin John bridge, and let his horse out to its full speed. People who knew his habits used to go out there sunny afternoons for the novelty of seeing the president of the United States drivs ing at a 2:30 gait. But butcher in Washington had a horse that could beat the presidents, and very often he ap4 peared on the road to show his animals speed and annoy the president. He would hang around the end of the aque. duct bridge until the presidents light buggy and stylish stopper had passed; and would follow them until he reached a wide place in the road. Then he would let his horse cut, and the butcher cart would go bounding along until he had thrown dust in the presidents eyes for awhile, when he would slacken up and let Gen. Grant go by, only to pass him again and again, as often as he pleased without the slightest regard for the pride or the office of the chief magistrate of this great nation.
 Gen. Grant was a very patient, self contained man, but I doubt if anything that ever occurred in his life annoyed him so much as that butcher. He was compelled to abandon the road which runs along the top of the tunnel that brings the water from the upper Potomac to Washington, and seek o;h- CT drives in order to avoid his tor mentor, but the villain still pursued him, and used to hang around La Fayette square in his old butchers cart so that he could follow the president in any di- rection be might take. Finally Gen. Grant took Col. Condit Smith into his confidence and asked him to negotiate quietly for the purchase of the horse, which was accomplished for $500.
 The next morning Senator Conkling and Senator Jones, of Nevada, were in- vited to inspect the wonderful animal and accompanied Gen. Grant to the white house stables, just south of the state department. Senator Jones de- clined to express an opinion as to the merits of the animal. He said that he claimed to know all about mines, but had never set up as an expert on horses, but MT. Conkling, who probably knew less, pretended to examine the animal with great care. He looked at his feet and twisted his tail; he inspected his hoofs minutely, gazed steadily for sev- eral moments into his eyes, rubbed his legs with knowing air, and finally, turning to Gen. Grant, remarked with an air of judicial authority:
 Its mighty fine horse, Mir. Presi: dent, but would rather have the S5OO.''
 That's exactly what the butcher said" retorted Gen. Grant.-Washing ton Cor. Chicago Record.

Children need good, nutritious food. The average woman has fixed firmly in her mind that substantial food means large quantities of beef and mutton. Meat builds and repairs the tissues of the body; it is muscle-making it makes the lean flesh. It can, under certain circumstances, be used as a fuel, and then contributes to the force and heat of the body. The cheap pieces of meat contain quite as much, if not more, true food than the more expensive cuts. Such pieces may be worked over in a hundred appetizing dishes. In buying meat ask for the flank, fieshy part of the shoulder, the round or the neck pieces. A shoulder of mutton is cheap and good. Tough pieces of meat should be cooked in a moist, slow heat.-La- dies Home Journal.
