WHEN PORTER WAS A SPORT.


A reminder of when his mocca-
sins touched the festive primrose
path, was given Chief Pleasant
Porter in st. Louis yesterday
when notice was served on him
that one Patrick Ahearn desired
s3,09S.50 of Creek money, for
training a string of the chiefs
racers during 1899. The request
which was served by constable,
alleges that the chief purchased
FIVE equines of long pedigree and
and short wind, and that Ahearn
was engaged to develop the equine
lnng power. The string was en-
tered in the fair races and won an
assorted bunch of "dislance flags"
but no coin. The chief said that
Ahearn was responsible for his
sprinters failures, and Ahearn
came back with the remark that
the age of miracles was past. Both
sides will be heard ia court at a
date not as yet set.

GREAT STORM ON GULF COAST.
Several Lives and Fishing Smacks Lost-Los
not as Great as Expected.

Wire communication was restored
Friday with the section swept by the
Gulf-bOrn hurricane last week and the
reports indicate that tho destruction
wrought to property and life is far less
than was apprehended.
The storm seems to have been central
about Mobile, but, beyond flooding many
business houses and wrecking several
pleasure yachts, no damage was done.
There wero humorous reports of persons
drowned, but investigation proved that
they were untrue. Central Alabama
was touched by the storm and cotton
and corn were prostratod. The railroads
also suffered severely.
AT Now Orleans tho storm has passed
away and seems to have done no great
damage except below the city and ut the
rivers mouth, where several fatalities
occurred. Rice and orange farms on tho
lower coast were badly injured. just
above quarantine house was overturned
with fifteen persons in it and four women
were drowned. Two sailors also re-
ported lost
At Pensacola tho wind reached a
velocity of 10 miles an hour and tho
shipping in the bay suffered severely.
The American Steamship Evlyn went
aground near the bar with cargo valued
at $4OO, 900 and is fast going to pieces,
and four sohooners in the bay sunk, tho
total loss being $4,000. The center of
the storm Friday was a few miles south
of Memphis, Tenn., having moved north
ward ABOUT 175 miles in IL hours. 1t
was attended by heavy rains, over three
inches having fallen at Memphis in 12
hours. The maximum winds Friday
were forty miles per hour at Atlanta,
Ca, 39 at Chattanooga. 80 at Memphis
and Jacksonville, and 30 at Nashville.
The rain area has not extended far in
front of the storm, no precipitation
having occurred north of the Ohio river
excopt in southern Indiana and southern
weather with light winds prevailed.

The Soldiers Homes.

Editors Courior: have read carefully

establishment of soldiers homes, and
have been doing good deal Of thinking
along that line, and had about decided
on what, rs look at the matter from
the standpoint Of veteran, would bo
the best thing to do.

my sentiments in his able style that /
could but wish that everybody could
have heard him. With force and elo-
quonce he portrayed tho hardships and
privatiohs endured both by the soldiers
and their wives and mothers, and urged
that thoir last days, of which there will
not be many, be made free. from want
and care; that small, comfortable cot
county, 80 that they need not DO far
from friends and old neighbors. Let tho
aged wife find a homo thoro with hor
husband. Tho cost of establishing such
homes and maintaining them need not
be great. In fact, the contributions made
by the people to home in their midst
would be large feature in its support.
There are serious objections to the
establishment # one central homo. Many
deserving and needy Veterans would not
consent to 90 so far away from familiar
faces and scenes. There would be dan
gor of too much red tape, too much for.
mality and too much power centralized.
Let the homes be established in each
county, and tho days would bo enlivened
by visits from old friends and acguaint-
ances and from tho sons and daughters
of old friends. Something more than
food and sholter is needed.
Liberal offers have already been made.

be frightened by such proclamations or
speeches, which will only encourage
thom to continue fighting" The British

have not used armed Kaffifs. 1t has
