Loss of Six Million Dollars.


Keokuk, Ia, July 21.-Exploration

experience with the Father OF Waters

a great con1iagratiOn in a great city

the slightest chance of stopping this
dOzen-timeS most costly flood in the
history of the great river above St.
Louis.
The correspondent of the Associ-

damaged area yesterday in the steam

watching and praying that the great
levees may hold which are now their
bulwark against additional millions of
loss and many cases of penury.
Careful estimates of the territory
covered and generalization of the
statements of best informed people
indicate the loss up to yesterday of
about $6.OOU,OOO, with every prospect
of 100000 or 100000 additional.
Most of this loss is on the Missouri
side of the river between keokuk and
Hannibal. Passing the water-lapped
lumber yards of Keokuk, the mouth
of the Des Moines river is seen to be
nearly two miles wide.
Alexandria is protected so far by
the Egyptian levee, the breaking of
which would send four feet of water
all over the town. Gregory is sub
merged except the white church and
the railroad track. Other towns and
cities on the islands are beyond the
danger line.

Baltimore, Md, July PA tornado,
accompanied by thunder, vivid light
ming and a heavy rain, suddenly burst
upon Baltimore at 80 p. M. yesterday,
coming from the southwest, with the
net result that eleven persons lost
their lives, hundreds of houses were
unroofed, trees in the public parks and
streets were torn up by the roots,
many buildings damaged and several
people injured. The storm exhausted
it's fury in less than 10 minutes. The
damage done in the business part of
the city was comparatively slight, be-
ing confined to the blowing down of
signs and injuries to roofs. 1t was in
the residence portion of the city along
the river front and in the harbor
where the wind spent it's violence.
Most of the Dead Are Children.
Of those who persisted nine were
drowned in the harbor from open
boats, one was killed by falling tree
and one by a live wire. The following
is list of the killed: Drowned in the
harbor-ROy Hateman, II years old;
Joseph Cain, 10 years; John Cain, &

falling tree-William Cornish, colored.
Killed by live wire-Charles Schae-

How Some of Them Died.
The first three victims on the above
list were out in rowbOat on the
river with three other companions.
When the storm broke the boat was
capsized, three being drowned and
three rescued. The boy killed by a
live wire had, in company with two
other boys, gone into a shed for pro-
lection, when the shed blew down and
a live wire fell on one of them, re-
sulting in his death. The drowning of
Mrs. Schiller and her children was the
most pathetic incident of the hurri-
cane. Michael Schiller. with his wife
and three children, accompanied by
his brOther-in-law, Joseph Cook, and
his wife, had gone out into the harbor
for a sail in a thirty-fOot boat. The

A few weeks later, while on trip

WITHOUT A SUPERIOR.
The American Woman Holds Her
own with Any Woman
in the World.

NV experience in this country has not
vet been sufficiently extensive to war;
rant my basing any judgment upon
Americans at home; but. in England
and on the continent, | have seen much
of Americans, and have been specially
drawn 10 close observation of Ameri-
can girls-your types of young woman
hood. They have been an ever-fascin-
ating study to me, and l must say,
frankly, that, in comparison with Eng
lish and French girls, they must be
given the palm for superiority, says an
extract from an interview with Nine.
Sara Grand, in Success.
This is not the mere idle compliment
of stranger in your land; it is the
truth. as have observedit. The Amer
lean girl has, as rule, a more marked
and interesting individuality, more
force of character, more mental inde-
pendence and alertness, more vivacity
and conversational ability than has her
English cousin.
The chief reason for the superiority
of American girls lies. | think, in the
American system of education. They
have space, freedom and liberty for in
tellectual expansion and the develop
ment of character, while our English
girls, from the time they cease to be
infants until they are married, are
subjected to a system of suppression.
1t is not surprising that the average
English girl is a nonentity who, when
she marries, is treated by her husband
as an inferior.
Some American mothers, am told,
are educating their daughters on the
English plan. They are making grave
mistake A woman has her own indi-
vidual life to lead. Not on the charac-
ter of her husband, if she has one, but
on her own, will shes tand or fall, ana
be equal or unequal to her many oppor-
tunities TO WELD an influence for good,
and to the grave responsibilities of
womanhood. Therefore, her develop
ment must not be cramped and him
dered by the foolish conventions of a
less enlightened age, as in England,
but must be given plenty of room and
encouragement, as in the United
States. woman is more womanly and
charming for being broadly educated
and led out of the mists of ignorance,
which are never a protection, but al
ways menace,
lam happy to say that, while the old-
fashioned, conventional ideas in regard
20 young wcmen and their education
are dying hard in England, newer and
more progressive ideas are gaining
| wider consideration. While we are far
behind the United States in women's
colleges, we have two institutions
cation of women; and our high schools,
the plan of which we borrowed from
you, think, are important in the fun
damental principles OF good education
to thousands of young women.

DRUDGERY OF LIFE.
where Love IL the Incentive tho
Daily Duties of the House,
keeper Are q Delight.

"I have lived a good long time in
the world. I have made acquaint-
ances by the hundred-friends, not so
many. Looking back upon all the
people that l have known, I can safe
ly say that the number of unhappy
marriages / have personally wit
messed has been very small indeed"
said the late Sir Walter Besant, ac-
cording to the New York Tribune.
''By far the larger number of the
wives have accepted cheerfully the
position of housekeeper and matron.
They have kept house for the hus-
bands and children whose happiness
is their own.
MANY of them have kept house
with the earliest intention of making
a house beautiful, which became a
continual feast for themselves; many
of them have brought art into every
part of the daily life, which has
been continual feast for themselves
as well as the other members of the
house. For all these matrons the
daily work has been daily delight.
Then, as for drudgery and monotony,
is there none in a mans work?
think of the mopotony and
drudgery of city clergyman's life,
when every day he has to tramp
around the ungrateful slums. Think
of the monotony and drudgery of the
doctor going his daily rounds. Think
of the monotony and drudgery of the
solicitor, always drawing up endless
documents in the hideous legal
jargon. No. The monotony of life
am quite sure, is pretty evenly
ladled out to working man or welded
wife.
"What / have said over and over
again, and do most stoutly maintain
is the very simple copy book maxim
that without love marriage must be
intolerable, but, given love as an es
sential, then the woman who yields
to the promptings Of her heart. ane
