ANOTHER FLOOD.

A cloudburst in the Blue6eld valley, in West
Virginia, last Sunday, created food that
swept away small towns and damaged other
property, besides destroying many lives. Rail-
road trains were swept from the track. The
loss of property can scarcely be estimated.
On Wednesday, there was another cloudburst
in the same section, greater and more terrible
than the first Railroads were completely in
undated. Many more lives were lost. The
damage cannot ;.e calculated at this time.

Had the party never been born, and had the

SWEETHEARTS AND WIVES.

If sweethearts were sweethearts always,
Whether as maid or wife,
No drop would be half so pleasant
In the mingled draught OF life,
But the sweetheart has smiles and
bushes
When the wife has frowns and sighs,
And the wife's have a wrathful glitter
For the. glow of the sweethearts eyes.
If lovers were lovers always,
The saua4. to sweetheart and wife,
Who would change for future OF Eden
The joys Of this ,cheeuered life:
But huabands grow grave and silent,
And care on the anxious brow T..
Oft replaces the sunshine which persisted
With words of the marriage vow.
Happy 10 he whose sweetheart
Is wife and sweetheart still,
, Whose voice as of old can charm him,
Whose kisses of old can thrill,
Who has plucked the rose to find ever
Its beauty and fragrance increase
As the flush of passion is mellowed
In loves unmeasured peace,
Who sees in the step lightness;
Who finds in the form grace;
Who reads an unaltered brightness
In the witchery of the face,

so emphatic that Cecil Rhodes and his

get over it's difficulties by introducing
Arab laborers on a large scale. From in

HINDoos FOR OFFICERS
Natives of India VIII Be
Entrusted With Commands

LONDON, Sept. Ever since the Sc
poy rebellion it has been the policy of
the British government to discourage any
attempt on the part of aristocratic resi-
dents of India to, attain high military
rank. This policy was due to the we'll
founded suspicion that the high-caste ma
tives were not to be trusted But of late
years this class has so often demonstrat-
ed it's loyalty that a change has been de-
c1ded upon. The plan contemplateS the
Eestowal of military rank upon certain
number of highly born cadets. A large
field is already provided for the military
employment of native officers of good
birth or position, nearly 800 being in the
commissioned rank of the native army;
but there has been a dearth of cor
responding openings for the sons of
Indian princes, mobiles and gentlemen.
Who are every day receiving a superior
education. but to whom opportunities OF
active public service when they reach
years of manhood are restricted. A de-
sire to crafty the military aspiration of
these classes has long existed but diff
fcultieS in connection with selection, tut
ton, military rank and duties have
barred the way.
The present experiment will be of
tentative character and some time must
elapse before it's details are fully worked
out. It rests upon the periodical selec-
ton of a small number-probably twenty

BETTER HARBoR FOR ODESSA
Russian Omcial Making Arrange
mems for ImpO rtant Extensions.

mensS for Important Extensions.
ODESSA, Sept. Prince Khilkoft, the
Russian minister of ways of. communica-
ton, who IS we'll known n sthe United
States, is at present here for the purpose
of consulting the harbor authorities with
a view Of making various extensions and
improvements at this port. Considering
that Odessa has within the last lew
months become the western terminus OF
two new lines OF steamers one extending
to the Persian gulf and the other to Rus
sian ports on the Pacific, and particularly
owing to the fact of her growing i'm
portance as a grain-exporting center, 1t
has been felt that something should be
done to Go away with the endless 1ncon-
vcniences experienced by shippers in con-
sequence of the lack of proper harbor
facilities 1t has time and time again
been pointed out in the press of those
countries whose merchant marine has in
terestS at Odessa that, while other con-
tinental ports are spending vast sums OF
money on improvements Odessa has been
content to carry on it's shipping business
with facilities which, even as far back
as twenty years ago, were considered
antiquated and insufficient. 1t is said to
be no uncommon thing for an Incoming
steamer to lie up in Odessa harbor for a
week or more. waiting for, berthing
turn at one of the few poorly appointed
docks.
One Of the prooo ais which Prince XII /
koff will Gems der is the construction of
what will practice ly be new harbor. 1t
is proposed to extend the present break
water in such a manner as to nclose
conside alb port On Of the roads hitherto
open and to build spec al long dock for
the grain traffic, with a Inc of railway
and elevators complete. The question Of
carrying out other improvements on a
large ale is also being discussed by
Prince Khilkoff. whose pres snce on the
spot inc icates to European maritime r
ton is cordially to assist the local au-
thorities in their endeavor to render the
port adequate to the demands Of its ex-
banding trade.

of Reading was founded in order that a

FRYING TOURISTS NOT liked.
American tourists with their cameras
are not very popular in this country, as
they are constantly invading the privacy
which is so dear to the heart of most
Mexicans. But one of these travellers
has just accomplished a. feat which some
what mitigates the offenses of others.
This man was in the Alameda the
other day, when ratero, or plckpocket,
in the guise of a flower seller, went up
to Enrique Larrea and offered him his
flowers At the same time he relieved
Mr.. Larrea Of his watch and ran. The
thief was followed by a gendarme and
was caught. but the watch was not
found. Mrs. Iarrea said that. she had
seen the man pass the watch to an old
woman as he ran, but in spite of this the
thief seemed likely to go free.
Then the American came to the front.
He produced a photograph which showed
the raterio in the act of handing the
watch to an old woman. as Mrs. Larrea
had said he had done. The American eX-
planned that he had seen the theft, and.
thinking it would make a good street
scene to add to his collection, snapped
his camera at the flying thief
