FLOOD RECEDES
Conditions at Passaic Greatly I'M
prOved-TOsS Is Enormous.

Passaic, N. j., Oct. 12.-The flood
conditions in this city and vicinity
were considerably improved to-day.
The high water mark at the Dundee
dam, which was 91k inches at mid
night, had fallen two feet to-day. All
danger of a break at the dam is now
thought to be past. Ia ., II
Wellington is still under water, and
several hundred persons are still TAX
ing refuge in the public schools.
-Four or five hundred residents of
Wellington are being sheltered in the
town hall and school buildings at
Passaic. -s MEOW !
The total 1ossn from the flood in
this city is estimated at about
$2,000,0o0, without any insurance.
This does not include the loss to
workmen who are thrown out of en-
ployment temporarily or the loss sus-
tanned by manufacturers by the inter-
ruption to business. Nearly every
mill is closed. hs'
At Duttonville fifty or more houses
were washed from their foundations
and many were overturned and
wrecked.
The Erie railroad bridge is now out
Of danger, but a big washout at
Clifton blocks all traffic. The rail-
road company is rigging up tenn
porary trestle, however, and traffic
may possibly be resumed by tonight

JUST ONE a DAY
How the Coffee Crank Compromises
His Health.

Some people say: Coffee don't hurt
me" and then add: Anyway I only
drink one cup a day."
If coffee really don't hurt why not
drink more? There is but one answer
and that is coffee does hurt them and
they know it. When they drink it
once a day they compromise with their
enemy. There are people whom one
cup of coffee a day will put in bed, If
the habit be continued.
Although warned by physicians to
let coffee alone I have always been so
fond of it that I continued to use it,"
confesses an Ohio lady. II compro-
missed with myself and drank just one
cup every morning until about six
weeks ago.
"All the time was drinking coffee
T had heart trouble that grew steadily
worse and finally I had such alarm
ing sensations in my head sometimes
causing me to fall DOWN that I at last
took my doctors advice and quit cof-
fee and began to use Postum Coffee in
its place.
'The results have been all that the
doctor hoped, for have not only lost
my craving for coffee and enjoy my
good Postum just as we'll, but my
heart trouble has ceased and l have no
more dizzy spells in my head. l feel
better in every way and consider my
self a very fortunate woman to have
found the truth about Postum. Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,

FLOODS CAUSE
AWFUL HAVOC
Situation at Paterson, New Jersey,
Tho Somewhat Improved, Is
Still Desperate.
The Monetary Loss There and at
Passaic Will Read 100000
at Least.

Paterson, N. J., Oct. 1.-THE peo
pie of this unfortunate city are be-
ginning to realize the extent of the
great flood, which. began last Friday.
Nearly two entire wards, taking in
the manufacturing section, have been
under water since that day. This
morning thousands of men, women
and children employed in different
mills and factories found they could
not go to work on account of these
places being shut down. Many of
these people have also been driven
from their homes and have neither
food nor shelter. The heaviest dam
age in Paterson was to the 1nanufac-
turers. At present 1t Is impossible
to give an accurate idea of the total
loss, but conservative estimates are
about two millions.
The police and firemen have been
steadily engaged since Saturday morn
ing in the work of rescuing families
from the upper floors or the roofs Of
and the work is still going on.
To-day the water continued to fall
and there did not seem to be any
chance Of further damage being done
unless another severe storm should
set in. There are still many blocks
under water and an examination Of
the flooded districts cannot be made
until the water disappears. The
health authorities have difficult task
before them in devising means to pre-
vent an epidemic of sickness in the
flooded territory. The people who were
forced to leave their homes will not
be allowed to return until the dis
tricts are in sanitary condition.
The water in the streets is rapidly
rece 1sding and the danger is now said
to be over. The worst district is in
the vicinity of the river, where the
water in some places was eleven feet
deep. People in this section are al
most destitute. Boats are being pro-
vided to get them from their homes
to places where they can be proper
ly cared for. @l -. IS
About 500 people are now housed in
the armory and from present appear
! ances they will have to remain there
| for the rest Of the week at least. A
| public school is also being used as a
sheltering place. A relief fund has
been started by the manufacturers.

WHAT MAKES AN AMATEUR
The British Definition of the Term
Sounds Strange to the Igno-
rant American.

An English professional cricket
eleven is to visit this country shortly,
and there will be no misunderstood
ing about the status of the members.
At the same time an All-England
cricket team is to invade Australia,
and the preparations thereof should
make interesting reading for the
Philadelphia experts who have been
meeting the gentlemen amateurs"
for 50 many years 4 recognized
Sporting Life, contributes this singu-
larly ingenious and enlightening in
formation on the subject:
Another point that IS causing
trouble in the selection Of the cricket
team for Australia is the question Of
finance. The amateurs or at least
some Of them, want not only their
hotel and travelling expenses, but
they also want to be recouped for
their loss Of time over the tour, or to
put it better, they. want to be no
poorer at the end Of the trip.
"My point is that if the M. G. c..
does not care to make the trip a
money venture, they will be in posi-
| ton to behave handsomely toward
amateurs and professionals alike. If
a further statement to that effect
| were mode (privately If you like) to
all the amateurs invited to go, feel
sure most of them would accept. AS
| I said last week, it is not very enticing
! to the majority of modern amateurs
to devote six months to cricket and
receive only expenses. Any amount Of
glory cannot compensate for a none
tary consideration. Why not offer all
| bona-fde expenses and an hOnorarium
of say two hundred and fifty pounds?
/ This would save a lot of bother, and
solve the problem Of amateurs ex-
penses, as discussed last week. In
/ that case every amateur would know

Nine Bridges Swept Away.

Trenton. N. j., Oct. 12.-It is esti-
mated that the havoc wrought by the
flood along the Delaware river will
bridges each built at a cost Of from
$4,000 to $4,000, which spanned the
river at various points between here
and Easton, were carried away.
The loss sustained by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company is estimated
at 100000. Serious washouts have
occurred at twenty-five different points
on the Belvidere division and traffic
has been suspended. There are sew
.eral breaks in the Delaware and
Raritan canal.
It is reported that telegraph oper-
ator named LIE Fevre was drowned
last night while trying to cross the
river at Raven Rock. The Delaware
has receded eight feet since last night.

IAAO EoAARSs
Norfolk, Va, Oct. 12.-For miles
and miles along the Virginia coast the
beach is Uttered with wreckage and

Thousands of people crowded trains

three negroes Of the crew by Surfman
William Capps Of Sea Tack station was
| one OF the most heroic acts in the his
tory of the surfmen on the Virginia
coast.
Capps, while two miles from any
eother human being, and patrolling his
stretch between the stations, saw the
negro over one hundred yards off
shore in the roaring surf. Without a
moments consideration Of the peril he
was facing, he stripped and plunged
into the sea that was already a seeth-
ing mass Of wreckage from the barges,
and after half-hour battle, single
handed and alone, he brought the UNI
conscious man ashore. He had not
recovered his breath before he dis
cerned thru a rift in the spume an
other form, and once more he went
into the surf. This time, by reason
of his exhaustion, his struggle was a

alarm when he saw the third negro

which has made his work in the
church effective. -.-
His preparatory education for the
priesthood was received at St. Charles
seminary at Ellicott, Md, where he
was graduated in 1852. He then
entered st. Mary's college at Balti-
more, which institution was the scene
of his higher studies. He was or
dained a priest by Archbishop Spald-

AS priest his early work was in the
territory along the Potomac river. In
May, 1875, he was consecrated
bishop of Wheeling. He ruled that

COOL SUMMER AND BUSINESS.

that the ordinary observer does not stop to
consider what cool summer beans to the entire
business community. Said he: 1T affects every

due in part to the cool summer which has made
the crops SO uncertain. Let us start with the
melons and all kinds Of truck. The merchants
who sell summer clothing and all kinds Of sea-

seashore resort has been running light and will

damage at sea.
