coat was long and very tight-fitting. and

to belt without wrinkle. The skirt Of

stood such rigid lines and such simplic-
iy. After the gay array Of velvets,
gorgeously trimmed tailored costumes
and regal cloaks which had gone before
It and which followed 1t, the attention
this oddity attracted may be imagined.
The hat worn with 1t was very chic. 1t
was q big brown beaver, with an under
brim Of white beaver, slightly turned
away from the face, and trimmed only
with two medium-sized white wings
against the front of the crown. 1t was
pinned closely to her hair. which was
dressed low in the back.
By the way, everyone is wearing the
hair low again. after the feeble attempt
to resurrect the high coiffure at the be-
ginning Of the season. A low, loose coil.
such as several Of the leading actresses
are affecting, is most in favor. Big, loose
waves over the head. falling softly about
the forehead and temples, and the low.
thick coil at the nape Of the neck are the
present vogue.
Fewer ornaments are worn in the hair
this season. A single rose at dinner or
q teweled comb in the evening is good
form, but many bows and Du Barry or
naments are not.
A novel mourning costume Of crepe, Of
the gloomiest and heaviest variety, Is
among the recent importations Of one Of
the large shops. The lines are Princess,
fitting well to the figure In the back. but
loose In the front, and with wide puffs
let into the sleeves from the elbow to the
wrist. The unique feature Of the gown
Is in the trimming. which is heavy. dull

HOUSTON, Tex. May 10.-Reports
received here by telegraph and tele-

that froll fifty to hundred people
have been killed.
The long distance operator at Hous-

were obtained.
Considerable damage has also been
done at Bcevilie by high winds. Both
towns are close to the gulf coast, and
all telegraph wires by the two routes
are down.
While all Texas has been storm
swept, the territory Immediately 70 the

1t. We sailed from st. Lucia on the
morning of May II and at 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon passed the island of Mar
Unique. The weather was perfectly
clear, and we had . good view of that
part Of the island which had suffered
by the volcanic eruption Il few days
before. The formation OF the island Is
quite altered, and the whole northern
part, where the town of st. Pierre once
stood, is covered with a mass OF ashes
and lava. At about $50 o'clock, as the
Etona was passing the island a ire
mendous upshoot Of smoke and dust
took place, and in q few moments the
ship was covered with fine dust like
cement. We were about three miles
distant from the island at the time
The ships engines were put under full
speed and for time considerable anx-
iety was felt on board. For an hour or
two the ship was covered with dust
and enveloped in thick cloud and the
air was filled with sulphur fumes. 1t
must have been another eruption, and
the dust must have been sent great
distance in the air, because it travelled
against the wind and at tremendous
" rapid rate"

Ode1l Has Big Offer,

NEW YORK, May 19.--If Governor
Benjamin B. Odell decides to accept a
denomination from the Republican par
ty next fall, he must decline an offer in
the world Of railroads and finance that
entails a salary which one report
names as 100000 year. Governor
Odell made his trip to the Pacific coast,
1t is said, to confer with Il. Fl. Harri-
man in regard to an offer to become the
eastern representative Of the Hartman
interests. Since Mr. Hartman had his
recent financial battle with J. Pierpont
Morgan he has felt the necessity of an
eastern representative who could conf
mand respect from all quarters and be

MI. Huston reviewed the history
of Martinique and spoke of some Of
the voicesof the natives and the gem

He said: 1.-THE destruction of Mar.

struction of the world being DESTROY

place i'll the West India Islands ten
days ago makes all reasonable peo4
pie that it is possible for this world
to burn and be destroyed.
The peacher said the lessons to
be drawn from the destruction Of
Martinique were: Prepare inn

POLITICAL
SITUATION.
From The Ee ord.

From Ihs Ee ord.
Wilmington, Del, May 10. --Polit-
zeal observers, seeming the big
battle III the not far off distance, are
already beginning to speculate on
how the lines Twill lay il the com
ing conflict. The Aliicks forces az
pear to ha as solid as ever, AMI Ad-
dicks will undoubte lily reject the
suggested plan Of allowing one Sen
ator other than himself to be elect
ed by the present Legislature. Some
Union Republicans think this idea
would give Addicks the prestige of
having a Union Republican Senator
and at the same time these Addicks
Republicans believe that one
Senator being chosen would cause a
commotion in the Democratic tan
dem combination of Salisbury and
Kenney. Addicks, however, has
repeatedly declared that no one
would be elected Senator from this
State until it was chosen, if he could
possibly prevent it.
There is much speculation as to
how the Regular" forces will be
lined up. The ani-Adaicks men at
present are i'll a chaotic condition,
with several small factions and
parts Of faction striving for suprem-
acy. The DUPONT crowd is suppos-
ell to he represented by Congress-
man Ball, who is anxious to secure
a denomination, but just how he
can get it from d united party is
not evident The forces Of former
Senator Higgins is watching the sit
uation with an eagle eye and appal-
emily is undecided whether to get
into the fight or not. He would like
to he III the battle because the pX-
Senator takes to politics as Il duck
does to water and being on land for
several years has not been to his
liking.
The contingent headed by Horace
Il. Knowles is an unknown guam
tity. Mr.. Knowles is supposed to
have Il strong following among the
workers, and Just where he Will hit
is question. In a recent skirmish
with the city Machine Knowles won
out.
1t is reng talked about that D
strong element, which will have the
backing Of Henry b. Thompson, will
try to land James II. WiIsoa as Uni
ted States Senator. For many years
the General bias looked on this POSI-
tiOn aud he will have some good
backing for it. The General on the
preliminary fighting, however, is not
likely to be Sin it. "
1t seems probable that after the cleo
ton his friends will exert themselves.
There is. however, under cover a de.
Cided boom for the General
