At Philmont, near Chatham, a

the Central plunged into washout,
and three of the train crew persisted.
At Elmira the Chemung river was
higher than at any time since the
memorable food of 1889. when south
ern New York and Pennsylvania were
flood-swept. Half of the city was un-

standstill and hundreds of persons
were driven from their homes.

LITTLE FALLS.

Eastern capitalists connected with the
Westinghouse Electric Company lately
bought the splendid Water Power ut Little
Falls, Mimi, and are now arranging to build
trolley lines east and west to tap the adjoin-
ing country. The balance OF the water pow
err, transformed into electricity, win be
utilized for large mills and factories in Lit
tie Falls, and for some time TO come the
eyes of the whole country will be turned
towards this city because OF the nature and
pastress of these improvements.
We own the best business property in the
heart of the city, and residence lots near the
mills and factories or depot and business dis
trict, farm lands in 40, so and 160-acre pieces,
near the new trolley lines, and 2llS, 8 and 10
acre garden tracts inside and adjoining the
city limits. This unpLdtted property viii
shortly be reached by the city street car sys-
tenn, and could at any time with profit be
sub-divided into city lots and blocks.
More money will be made in Little Falls
real estate during the next years than In any
other conservative and legitimate specular

money years ago, before the Water Power
was improved, and before the paper min,

What is believed to be the earliest OF
recorded yacht races took place IN
1861. John Evelyn, in his diary. men

Charles H., in one OF his pleasure

among us until the Dutch East India

merged. Street car traffic between the
two cities was abandoned and scores
of mills were forced to shut down. In
some places the water. covered the sec
ond floors of buildings. and many
structures collapsed under the great
pressure. The tracks of several rail-
roads were flooded, and traffic had to
be abandoned. The damage may ex-
coed $1.000,O00.
In northwestern Pennsylvania the
property loss occasioned by the floods
will probably total $5.000,000, while
over a score of lives were sacrificed.
In the vicinity of Wilkesbarre, twelve
persons were drowned. The Susque-
hanna river, usually 1900 feet wide,
stretched out for two miles and a
half. reaching from the first floors
of the houses on River street to the

MAP OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Government Has Recently Published It's
First One.

First One.
Only 400 copies Of the new map Of
the Philippines, recently prepared un-
der the direction of Gen. A. W. Gree
ley, were printed by the war depart
ment, the edition barely supplying
the demands of the army posts. The
National Geographic society, however,
obtained the plates and mas printed
large number for public distribution,
using the map as supplement Of the
National Geographical Magazine.
The size of the map is five feet two
inches by three feet; the scale fifteen
miles to the inch. Every town OF ham
let known by the Jesuits or reported
to the war department by its many
officers throughout the islands is in
dictated. In short, it is compilation
Of everything now known about the
Philippine archipelago.
A glance at the map shows how
much exploration is needed in large
sections. For instance, on the island
Of Mindoro only few names along
the coast are given. The interior Of
the island Is blank.
The tremendous progress made by
the American government in the is
lands is graphically illustrated by the
red lines, indicating cables, telegraphs
and telephones, which penetrate to
nearly all corners of the archipelago.
Nearly 1000 miles of wire are now
strung, whereas three years ago there
was not one mile In the service.
All the telegraph lines are owned
by the government and operated by
a government department-the United
States signal corps. The stations
noted as commercial stations are open
to messages OF a private and CONNER
cial character, while from the stations
noted as military only messages of
military nature can be sent.
This map Is the first map of the
Philippines that has been prepared by
American officials. The spelling of
the names is that adopted by the
United States board OF geographic
names.

In destruction to property, in loss
to business, even in the number Of ia
talities, the freshets which have swept
over large areas in the Middle Atlantic
states and New England will long be
memorable. Falling rains and melt
ing SHOWS had swollen rivers into
lakes and creeks into torrents, and in
hundreds of valleys the spreading
waters caused destruction and death.

houses were flooded; thousands of peo-
pie we're driven from their homes;

THE INDIAN IN MODERN ADvERTls-
ING


Along the line OF the Santa Fe
through Oklahoma, Indian Territory,
New Mexico and Arizona are found
many tribes of peaceful Indians, whose
strange costumes and unique mode
of life are very interesting to tourists.
The Pueblo Indians OF New Mexico
and Arizona, including the rowing Ma
yajos, are perhaps the best known and
most frequently visited. The Moh
Snake Dances and the various feasts
Of the Indians along the Rio Grande
river have national reputation.
In fact, the Indian is now somewhat
OF a fad, and of late years his blankets.
pottery, baskets and silver ornaments
have been eagerly sought after By col
lectors.
Recognizing the advertising value OF
the Indian, the Santa Fe has recently
placed in the windows of its Offices at
Kansas City. Chicago. st. Louis, New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Az
lanta, some very fine collections of In.
dian curios. II is also decorating
many Of its Offices with paintings OF
Indian subjects. All this in the belief
that announcements in newspapers
and magazines can be strengthened by
the pictorial art and by attractive
window dressing.
II is expected that by mid-winter
arrangements will be perfected for thel
giving of Navajo and Moh Indian
dances at point ON the Santa Fe line
in Arizona, the through trains being
stopped so that passengers may have
an opportunity to witness these dances.

For Another Peace conference.

A contributor to the Calcutta Eng
lishman proposes to have peace by the
holding OF another peace conference
barred to all soldiers. diplomatists,
gunmakers and their relations. and the
organization of an international police
which shall keep the peace after it is
made. The Continental powers are
to abolish their armies, and England
and all the other powers are to sacri-
fee their navies. The reason for the
retention of the British army is not
disclosed.

and Lehigh valleys the damage
wrought was heavy. Farm houses
were swept away and hundreds of do
nestle animals were borne along In
the terrific current.
In the Wyoming valley the loss to
property was heavy. Mines were food
ed and fully $4,000 miners were thrown
into involuntary idleness. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 persons were forced
to leave their homes and seek safety
in high places. At Kingston two men
were drowned by the capsizing of a

kissing by wholesale.

In description Of a wedding in the
olden time in the district of Voer. in
Denmark, appears the following:
When they had eaten the parish clerk
got up first, put his arms around the
parsons neck and kissed him on the
mouth, saying: Thanks for your hos
pitality, sir priest Then the parson
planted Himself against a chest of
drawers and all the women. old and
young, went up to him one after the
other and kissed him on the mouth.
Some of them could not quite reach
him, for the priest was a big, tall
man, and they had actually to climb
on to his boots. though he stopped
down to them slightly"

Omission In the Wedding Service That

A distinguished naval officer was
telling this story on himself the other
evening to a gathering Of his friends.
At the time OF his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had
had many narrowing experiences
aboard ship, through all Of which he
kept his courage and remained as
calm as a brave man should. AS the
time for the ceremony came on, how
ever, his calmness gradually gave way.
At the altar, amid the blaze of brass
buttons and gold lace marking the
full naval wedding, the officer was all
but stampeded, and what went on
there seemed very much mixed to him.
Fearing the excitement of the moment
would temporarily take him off his
feet, the officer had learned the mar
riage ceremony letter perfect, as he
thought, and he remembered repeating
the words after the minister in a me-
chanical sort of way.
