Newport, Feb. 5.-About $50 o'clock
last evening one Of the worst tornadoesI
that ever struck this section passed
through Newport, sweeping everything
before it. The cloud rose i'm the south
west. All at once It opened up into
the shape of a funnel about enc hun

directly in the southwest, it ran about
200 yards, then darted easterly, running
about 500 yards, thence in a northerly
direction until it disappeared
Men, women and children became
panic stricken at seeing the board
fences and various missels flying in the
air.
The tornado first struck between the
Krebs Pigment and Chemical Com
panys plant and that of the Delaware
Paint Company. 1t then went in a
northerly direction, striking the rail-
road, breaking off telegraph poles like
pipe stems, and tearing all the wires
down The chimney was blown off the
station and the bricks beat a hole in the
roof. through which they fell into the
parlor. The wind also swept the safety
gates away.

China and the powaaer.

From the Baltimore American.
The request made by the Chinese cen
sorate, or all-eXamining court, that the
Empress Dowager retire is one OF the
most hopeful signs of the times in the
Far East It is doubtless the forerun-
ner of arbitrary action should the En-
press endeavOr to evade compliance
with the request. for the censorate is
in China, and may, If oc-
casion arises, enforca its DEGREES. So
great are its powers that IL may re-
move from their places all public Of
iicers, including the Emperor, and It is
said that on a number OF occasions il
has actually dared to remove an En-
peror from his throne and Danish him
into private life This being the case
there is reason why the Empress Dow
aver should be "much annoyed" by the
request, for it presages certain action
by the censorate should she refuse tC
vacate and in the prospect that she is
soon to be gotten rid OF there is rea-
son for civilization to rejoice

'Tho crimo against silver" continues
TO the detrlmont of that metal. Gold is
now worth in the market S2067 an
ounce, while silver is quoted at forty
seven cents This makes the ratio forty
four to one. and a silver dollar, with
the Government fiat eifaced, is worth
but thirty-six cents. To make IL intrin-
sically worth a dollar in gold, the silver
dollar would have to be nearly three
times its present size.

FEW CHEAP LODGINGS
Travellers Find Trouble in Securing
Shelter in Wilmington.

Shelter in Wilmington.
1t is claimed by many persons that
Wilmington has but very few houses
where travellers, unable to avail them
selves Of the costly hospitality Of first
class hotels, can find respectable ac-
commodations. It is not a difficult mat
ter to get something to eat when the
hungry man has a little money, but to
find shelter for the might is different
With the exception of the Shipley
Mission and the Sunday Breakfast Mis-
sion, there are practically no places in
Wilmington where decent lodging can
be secured at a low rate.

the silks are transferred to a tub Of warm
water in which some soap jelly has been
lathered. This water must not be too
hot, or the stuff will 'tyell," as my daugh-

rubbing when wrists and collar bands are
more than ordinarily soiled. In a little

I have some prepared gum. This is one

be ready for wear in the afternoon.
Between the right side of the silk and
your smoother lay a piece of muslin-an
old handkerchief does very well; then use
a hot iron fearlessly. It is necessary. to
begin with a cloth between you and the
silk; the wet materials coming in contact
with your hot iron would leave rusty
mark. Yet in order to get a glass on the
surface of your silk the heater must pass
over it without the intervening shield.
So finish as you began, on the right
