SWEPT BY HURRICANE.
Much Damage in Jamaica, With
Loss of Life.
The Coast Is StreWn With Wrecks Of
Local Vessels - The Aggregate
Property Loss Is Placed
at $1o,00o,0 900.

Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 13.-The
West Indies hurricane did tremendous
damage upon the Island of Jamaica.
Port Antonio, on the north coast, was
overwhelmed. Only six houses were
left standing there. The United Fruit
Co., wharves, offices, hotel and planta-
tons were utterly demolished. Five
of the company's steamers, including
the Simon DumOis, Alfred DumOis and
Brighton, were driven ashore but are
lying in easy positions. Port Maria,
another town on the north coast, also
suffered similarly. The coast is strewn
with wreckage of local sailing vessels.
1t is feared that the loss of life has
been heavy, 80 fatalities having al
ready been reported, principally among
seamen.
The entire eastern end of the island
has been devastated. Villages have
been wiped out and public buildings
and churches demolished. Thousands
of the peasantry, rendered homeless
and destitute, are wandering about
seeking food and shelter. The de-
struction of the banana plantations
has been complete and the fruit trade
is paralyzed for the next II months.
Fruit Growers Bankrupted.
Hundreds of prosperous fruit grow
ers have been brought to bankruptcy
and ruin. The western end of the
island which at first was supposed to
have escaped, also suffered cOnsidera-
bly,. though not to the extent which
the eastern did New banana planta-
tons planted there were partly de-
stroyed and the orange and coffee
crops were also injured.
The Norwegian steamer Salvatore
di Giargli was driven ashore at An
notte bay, and lies in dangerous po-
sition. Several sailing vessels were
wrecked on the north side. 1t is still
stormy and threatening and there arc
fears that there may be renewal Of
the storm.
Torrential rains have increased the
misery Of the poor and homeless.
Thousands of houses in Kingston were
damaged, the wharves were battered
and several coastlng vessels were
sunk in the harbor Trading is practi-
cally at standstill.
The southeastern portion of the is
land was denuded of crops, the rivers
are flooded and many men were car
ried out to sea and drowned. Consid-
ering the damage to property during
the hurricane the loss of life was COM
paratively small, though the present
estimate now is that the death list
will reach so. Hundreds of persons
were injured and there were numerous
hairbreadth escapes. The property
loss is $4,000, 900.

had q great knack of playing the

the minstrel shows don't pay much

we're probably fashioned of some kind

Il can remember when every small
boy in the country had mad passion
TO become an artist with the bones.
That was more than a quarter of n
century ago. when minstrelsy was a
big thing. and all the youngsters In
the land ached and longed way down
deep in them to become famous min
strcl men. The ambitions OF most OF
the kids OF my day centered on the
