The WEST indian HURRICANE.
1t Has Done Great Damage at
Martinique and is Threaten
ing South Atlantic Coast.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE weather
bureau tonight issued the following
special bulletin:
The tropical hurricane this after
noon was apparently central south of
the central Cuban coast and recurving
nortnward. It's exact course cannot
now be determined but it is danger
Gus for vessels to sail for southern
ports. It is probable that more precise
information can be given Wednesday
morning regarding the direction and
the intensity of the storm.
Hurricane warnings are displayed
on the gulf and South Atlantic coast
from Port Eads to Jupiter, at Nassau
and western Cuban ports, and storm
warnings from Jacksonville to Char
lesion. All other Atlantic and Gulf
ports also have been advised regarding
the storm.
ANOTHER BULLETIN.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE hurri-
cane which yestedray passed over San
Domingo and Martinique probably is
approaching the South Cuban coast
with indications of recurVing, but at
what angle the weather bureau officials
are unable to state A. report from
Habana at o'clock tonight said that
the wind was blowing So miles an
hour and was from the northeast. The
hurricane probably will cnotinue in its
course northward somewhere close to
the Florida peninsula. Hurricane
warnings have been sent to points
from Port Eads on the Gulf coast
around the Florida coast up as far as
Jupiter, and storm warnings to Allan
tic coast points from Jacksonville to
Charleston, S. G. The weather bureau
regards as extremely unwise for yes
sells to sail for Gulf or Cuban ports
or the Bahamas just now. The storm
was central this morning at Kingston,
Jamaica.

How a Great Surgeon Died.

While Bichat, the famous surgeon,
was dying of typhoid fever he turned
to an old colleague who was sitting
beside his bed and said to him:
"My friend, am lost, but it is some
consolation to know that my case is
very curious. During the last few
days have noticed some odd symp-
toms and I am studying them careful
ly''
"Oh, you may recover yet," said
the friend.
"That is impossible, {" replied BIZ

I should be quite willing to die.
"What is that" asked the friend.

that I would make some wonderful
scientific discovery.

Ptomaine Poisoning.

Washington, Aug. IA remark
able case OF ptomaine poisoning is re-
ported from Ashburn, Va, some 20
miles outside of Washington. A large
number Of persons had gathered to at
tend the sale of the dairy farm owned
by Senator Stewart of Nevada. The
senator served the prospective buyers
a light luncheon consisting of coffee,
ham and beef sandwiches. Shortly
afterwards at least so persons were
taken violently i'll, suffering from
ptomaine poisoning. One after another
they fell to the ground, writhing in
agony. Horsemen were dispatched in
all directions for doctors, and a num-
Der responded and took prompt meas
ures to relieve the sufferers. In
statement issued at II o'clock tonight,
the doctors report their patients out
of danger, although many are quite
i'll. An investigation developed the
fact that the beef, which bad been
purchased in Washington and kept in
cold storage on the farm for several
days was the cause of the trouble.

"There is a charm, q fascination
about circus life that is hard to ex-
plain,'' said veteran Snowman lately.
at is surely a tough experinece, be-
ing bufeted about from place to place,
often without bed to sleep in, and
the wages, outside Of the salaries paid
to few stars, are amazingly small.
Yet when a man once gets a taste OF
circus life it's all up with him. He's
never good for anything else and never
wants to be. There must be a germ,
bred Of the sawdust, that gets into the
blood. Take the canvassers, for in
stance. They get $40 a month and
their grub and an impromptu bed in a
wagon. Often they don't take their
clothes of for weeks at time. There's
one fellow know who has trade,
and during the winter he makes on an
average $40 week. And yet, jnst as
soon as the circus season opens, he
throws up his job and gets out on the
road with a show for $40 a month.
In most every town the management
is besieged by men and boys who want
to go along, and many of them offer
their services for their board. It's
queer state of affairs.''

COTTON GIN STATISTICS.
How Statistics Will be Taken Of
the Coming Crop.

Preparations for gathering the cot
ton ginning statistics for the crop Of
1903 lave been completed by the divis-
ion of manufactures in the census Office
and final instruction have been sent
out TO the field agents by Director
North.
With the experience gained in last
years work it is the expectation OF
the census officials that this years
statistics will be even more accurate
than those of last year and will ae-
count for practically every bale of cot
ton grown in the United States Spe-
cial care has been taker in the in-
struction of field agents as to their
work. There are in all GIG of these
field agents. Almost all Of them are
men who were employed on the work
last year and have consequently had
experience. In addition to the printed
Instructions sent out the census Office
has had two special agents ia the field
during the summer visiting the field
agents, especially the new ones, and
giving them personal instructions and
advice as to the best methods of carry
ing on the wrok.
With view to facilitating the work
of the field agents and also with the
object Of securing more accurate sta
tistics the census Office contemplates
supplying TO each ginner record book.
This book will contain blank forms
which villa enable the ginner to record
the name OF each customer daily, the
number of pounds of lint obtained, the
number of poands of seed and the ae-
tual weight Of each bale of cotton gin
ned. By getting a record of the weight
of seed cotton furnished by each Gus
toner and of the lint and seed obtain
ed it will be possible to verify the re-
ports as to the weight of baled cotton.
. By the use of these record books, if
the hearty and intelligent co-opera-
tioan of the ginners can be obtained.
it will be possible for the census Office
to make an almost absolutely accurate
report as to the number of pounds of
cotton grown in the United States
each gear.
