Great Flood in West Virginia.
A cloudburst caused very disas-
trous flood in the Pocahontas coal
region in West Virginia Sunday. A
valley, hanked by high hills through
which a stream ran, received such
copious downpour Of rain that the
valley was almost filled with water.
Several small villages, keystone with
a population of 1000 being the largest,
were flooded and many of the build
ings swept away. The loss of life was
heavy. About SO are known to have
persisted. Probably the property
damage will exceed a million dollars.
The railroad and mining interests
were the principal losers. The heavy
rain did much damage all through
that locality.

LARGE LIFE IN-
 sURANCE POLICIES.
Business Men Protecting Their Estates by Insuring in
 Mutual Life

New York, Oct. 2.--tSpecial.) )-The ten dency of business men to protect their estates by policies of life insurance is be- coming as general as to protect their buildings by policies of fire insurance. Since MT. George w. Vanderbilt of New York and Mir. Frank H. Peavey of Min neapolis each took policies for $l,0O0,000 lone million dollars) few years since. In the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New Yohk, ther has been no equally large sum written on one individual; those remain the record figures for the world. But policies of s5O,000 and S1Oo. 900 and even s2OO,OOO are so frequent as to cause little comment, and even when Mir. Sidney A. Witherbee of Detroit took s2OO 00O in per cent. gold bond insurance from the Mutual Life. early in this year. if passed almost as matter of course. It is significant that when business rnan's estate Is settled these days. life insurance is generally found to be a very inonortant part of 1t. often all there Is of if. Life insurance in one of great com panies yields good rate of interest as an investment apart from the protection if affords. -adv.

The Pope's Private Car.

At Ciyita Vecchia. Italy. is stored gor- eFously gidcd railway car which is the nrcrertv of Pope Leo, says The Balti- more Sun. It was built nearly fifty years aqo by his predecessor in the papal chair and Is one of the most remarkable rail- uav cars in existence. Its roof is sup norted by the figures of three carved anefIs covered with gold end silver. Its conner dome bears a series of beautiful naintings by Gerome. The interior of the ear is divided into a series of rooms, the o',ter heinz for the reception of the papaI o,,ard Behind 1t is the throneroom, in which the pontiff sits while he blesses the Irowds which throng about the car on It's to,,rnevs At least that was the idea y,ba,, inc car was built. As a matter of fact the Pope has never made but one ioUrnev in his private car. going from Rone fin Naples many years ago. Since thai time the car has never been used. and thieves have cut from. their frames many of the beautiful paintings which orieinalIv ornamented the car. At the pear pe of the throneroom Is the oratory, ftted with beautiful altar and sur mounted by a magnificent painting by Gerome.

HABITS of PEOPLE IN PEKIN.
How the Cinnamon Work and the
Little Pay They Get.
From The Utica Press.

From The Utica Press.
The subjoined extracts from a private
letter from George l.. DE Forest of this
city, who is a member OF Company d. I'm
the Ninth Regiment, will be read with
interest:
80 you would like to peek In this ss
cred city and see what my surroundings
are? think in one of my former letters
] gave a short description of the City of
Pekin, and perhaps a little gossip in
regard to the people who inhablt It may
be acceptable. In the first place the rich
'Chinks' wear costly silks while the poor
ones are glad to wear cotton. Numerically
In this city the proportion Of rich to poor
is about one In thousand, so you can
see that cotton Is king so far as the poor
are concerned. and ! am told that al
though the soil Is very productive. there
Is hardly enough cotton raised to supply
the demand. This Is due I'm great measure
70 the lack OF tools In cultlvating Il and
proper machinery for curing when har-
vested, as everything here Is done by
hand
IN the first place the Chinese have no
power gins TO take out the seeds with
and instead use what they call hand gins;
and funny looking things these gins are.
Imagine a couple OF small modern rollers
fastened in uprlghts attached to a bench.
These are turned by a crank and revolve
one against the other freeing the cotton
seed by drawing the lint through the
small space between. The machine Is fed
by hand ana q man must put In a long
steady days work to gin five pounds Of
LINT which means twenty pounds OF cotton
In the seed. The cotton Is carded al the
same time that It Is ginned. A man stands
at the end Of the bench and beats the
clean cotton with what Is called a tee
kung or earth bow into big haky bats.
and the women spin these bats In all
sorts Of ways the favorite one being
by the use OF the old-fashioned spinning
wheel.
and right here want to say that the
Chinese are the most industrious people
! ever saw, especially the women These
latter are never idle. They are great gos-
sips, but do not neglect their work on
