Vt Was .4Extineted, ,,

The teacher Of rudimentary school in Brooklyn took up a primary study of pre- historic animals, and found it some what difficult to make her juvenile di~ vision understand the meaning of the word extinct" Finally, however, she saw by the radiant faces that the chill dren grasped the idea, and then, to fas- ten it upon their minds, she sought for instances: Can any little girl.' she asked, give me the name of an extinct anfmal?" A dozen hands popped into the air. and a dozen pairs of eyes beamed with eager intelligence. 'I am glad to see such a response" said she, Florence, you give us an ex- ample of an extinct animal'' Ca nary!" lisped Florence, very sweetly and knowingly, "Canary!" exclaimed the teacher. ''I am astonished, Flor ence. Why do you say canary is an extinct animal?' Because it flew out of our cage this morning, and the cat extincted it!" was the convincing an- swer.-Golden Days.

JAMAICA HURRICANE

 KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug. 13.--The hurricane which struck the western end of Jamaica and which it was thought had passed instead of proceed ing to the northwest yeered to the south and struck Jamaica with it's full force, indicting damage which it will take years to repair. It is impossible as yet to estimate the amount of the kDsees, but they must reach millions of dollars !. < Port Antonio. on the north coast, was completely overwhelmed. Only six : houses were left standing there The United Fruit conpany's wharfs, offices, hotel and plantations were utterly de molished. Five of the company's steamers, including the Simon Dumois Alfred Dumois and Brighton, were driven ashore, but. are lying in easy po- sitions. Port Maria, another town on the north coast, also suffered similarly. The coast is strewn with wreckage of local sailing vessels. @;
 It is feared that the loss of life has been heavy, thirty fatalities having al- ready, been reported, principally among seamens The entire eastern end of the island has been devastated. Villages have been wiped out and public build ings and churches demolished. Thou sands of the peasantTy, rendered home less and destitute, are wandering about seeking food and shelter.
 The destruction of the banana planta- tions has been complete, and the fruit trade is paraiyzed for the next twelve months. Hundreds of prosperous fruit growers have been brought to bank ruptcy and ruin. The western end of the island, which it was at first sup posed had escaped, also suffered con siderably, though not to the extent which the eastern end did. New ba- mana plantations planted tkere were partly destroyed, and the orange and coffee crops were also injured.
 The Norwegian steamer Salvatore di Giorgio was driven ashore at Annotta z bay and lies in dangerous position. Several sailing vessels were wrecked on the north side. It Is still stormy and threatening, and there are fears that there will be a renewal of the storm. Torrential rains have increased the misery of the poor and homeless. Theusands of houses in Kingston were damaged, the wharfs were battered and several coasting vessels were sunk in the harbor. Trade is practically at a standstill. sf
 The southeastern portion of the is- land has been completely denuded of its crops, the rivers are flooded, and many men were carried out to sea and drowned. Considering the damage to property during the hurricane, the loss of life is comparatively small, though the present estimate is that the death list will reach fifty. Hundreds of per sons were injured, and there were nu- merous hairbreadth escapes. The prop erty loss is estimated at $1O, ,0OO, GOO.

Mr.. Ellis. who is one of the best

who is a wealthy Wyoming ranchman,
stated that the Clydesdale was. he be-

to stock Wyoming ranches and believ-

would be favorable to their breeding
and raising of this strong and beau

Wyoming as they have to be shipped
carefully, and it takes a great deal
more space to accommodate them than
i. does the ordinary horse. We pur-

WILL NOT SANCTION
ADDITIONAL REPOSITORIES.

Senator Warren called at the Urea

nesday to urge the acting assistant
secretary to designate several national
banks in his state as repositories of
government funds. He was informed
that it will be the policy Of the treasury
department not to recognize any add
tional banks to hold government funds
till after payments are made growing
out of the puchase of the Panama Ca
nal company rights as provided by
treaty and the payment of $4,000, 900
to the Colombian government for
r~ight-Of-way. 1t is provided in the
treaty that $4,000, 900 shall be paid to
the Panama Canal company and $10,'

In view OF these heavy payments the
government does not at this time deem
il advisable to sanction additional
banks unless circumstances warrant
their recognition.

SIN IN SUNDAY KISS
HUSBAND SHALL NOT KISS HIS
WIFE FROM SHUTDOWN TO
SHUTDOWN.
Philadelphia Patriot In Prosecution
OF Case That May Shatter the Fa-
nous Blue Laws of 1794-Hired
Orsanists to be Arrested Easter
Sunday.

Philadelphia, March PA patriot who
believes he has the moral right to kiss
his wife on Sunday braved the law this
morning and appeared before Magis
trate German as the prosecutor in
a test case that may shatter the ia
nous act of 1894, that compeis every
average citizen to become a criminal
when he walks in his garden in the
good old summer time.
This patriot is one Charles ]. Field,
The blue laws of 1894 have become eX
ceedingly obnoxious, and M Honor
able Billy Berkelback arose in his
place in the senate a few weeks age
and introduced a repeater. Then there
was a howl. Berkelback beat a hasty
retreat and the law stands. Under this
law no man is safe in Pennsylvania
during the t%wenty-four hours beginning
at sunset on Saturday. Here are some
OF the provisions of the act of 1894.
There shall be no manner of work
performed on the Sabbath day. and
there shall be no bargaining, trading
or other indulgence in worldly pusuits
during the period designated as the
Sabbath day.
The Sabbath day shall begin at SUI
down Saturday.
No beast of burden, man servant OF
maid servant shall be called upon tc
do any mi of labor on the Sabbath
day.
No husband shall kiss his wife and
no mother shall kiss her child on the
Sabbath or on any day of fasting.
No person shall undertake a jour
ney. travel. cook victuals. shave OF
otherwise defle the Sabbath day by
other untoward conduct.
No one shall run on the Sabbath
day. or walk in his garden or else
where, ecept reverently to and from
his or her place of worship.
1t. shall be unlawful for any person
to disturb the peace of the Sabbath
day by indulging in unworthy ant
worldly conversation o IN the public
roads on that day.
From the foregoing propositions o
the old law it will be readily under
stood why Patriot Field and his asso
ciates insist that the law shall BIZ
strictly enforced or repealed. The ar
rest of the hired organists and choil
leaders in the ultra high churches O.
the city on Easter Sunday is the mex
move threatened. All of the news
paper publishers, transportations com
panies, news dealers and BARRIERS are
to be arrested. and if necessary tc
popularize the law the policemen ant
firemen will be arrested" along witt
the mayor, and the guards at the I'm
tied States mint, all of whom have
been detected in gross violations OF
the act of 1894.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by One Bottle of ChambcrIain's
Cough Remedy.

when | had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) l actu-
ally cured myself with one bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" says
Frank w. Perry. Editor of the Enter
prise, S~hortsville, N. Y. This is the
honest truth. | at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking a
teaspoonful of this remedy, and when
the coughing spell would come O N at
night | would take a dose and it seem
ed that in the briefest interval the
cough would pass off and would go to
sleep perfectly free from cough and its
accompanying pains. To say that the
prise is putting it very mildly. I had
no idea that it would or could knock
out the grip. simply because l had new
err tried it for such a purpose, but it
did, and it seemed with the second at
tack of coughing the remedy caused it
to not only be of less duration, but the
pains were 1ar less severe, ana l nau

fore Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu." For
