CYCLONE IN GEORGIA.-The Macon
Telegraph's dispatch from Moultrie, Ga,
says a cyclone from the southwest struck
the northern part of the town at 9
O'Clock yesterday morning and caused
damage to the amount of about $50, 600.
Three churches, including the Primitive
Baptist, which was valued at $40, 900,
we're practically destroyed. A pine
products plant and cotton seed oil
mill were wrecked, and a score or more
of small houses we're blown down. There
was no loss of life. 1t is believed the
storm spent itself in the vicinity.
Dispatches from Opelika, Eufaula,
Ozark, Troy and south Alabama towns
tell of damages done by the storm.
Houses were unroofed, trees uprooted,
and the cotton crop damaged. So far,
no lives have been reported lost.

the country

Mr.. BRYAN is making no new
friends but is loosing many of his old
and tried ones by his constant attacks
upon the men who are most prominently
spoken of as democratic candidates for
the presidency. He should turn his
batteries upon the enemy, who can keep
him busily engaged for the next year,
and cease firing at democrats who are
not altogether of his way of thinking.

Father and Son,

 edge an inseparable part of the intel
 lectual and spiritual equipment of his son, but he can do this only when he cares so much about 1t as to make 1t |" daily, hourly object of his life, says the Cosmopolitan. So many fathers shiik the undertaking; so many of then stand aloof and let the precious years go by, willing to give anything and everything except themselves. The first and great reward of course Is the one that comes when he sees the boy upon the verge of manhood going ou' into the world to face the inevitable dangers, which confront the novice, for the life of man differs from the life of a woman in this respect-that at some time or other, sooner or later. tho time must come when he shall stanc alone, relying on his own strength to conquer if he be sound and brave, to fall If he be weak and cowardly. e'''' .sg

The Irish Curse.

An Irish authority thus defines al. an expert the effects of well deliv. cred curse: "The belief among the an. cient Irish was that curse once pro nounced must fall in some direction If it has been deserved by him or whom 1t is pronounced, it will fall ob him sooner or later, but if it has no, then 1t will return upon the person whc pronounced it. They compare it to a wedge with which q woodman cleaves timber. If it has room to go 1t will gc and cleave the wood, but if it has not it will fly out and strike the woodmar himself, who is driving it. between tho eyes"
 There are three altars inside thc cashel at Innismurray Ireland, built square of rough loose stones and hay. ing on the top of them number O. curious, round, smooth stones. These have been used for cursing by turnin: them, and the natives are very super stitious about them.
 One mode of averting the curse was for the person against whom the stones were turned to have grave dug, tf. cause himself to be laid in it and to have three shovelfuls of earth cast over him, the gravediggers at the same time reciting rhymes

One of the principal claims, that of the San Domingo Improvement com pany, lvolving the transfer to the Dominican government of railroad property valued at several million dollars, already has been referred to arbitration by mutual consent, and the state department is now informed tl.at the other two questions of large importance, the claim of the Cyde Line Steamship company for the refund of port duties, and the Ross claim for consid erable wharfage property con- structed under conditions not fulfilled by the Dominican government, would be adjusted in a similar way.

TWILIGHT IN IRELAND.
It h Different From That Seen Tn
 Any Other Country.


 The interior of a typical Irish cabin h sorry sight. The floor is of stone. uncovered except for few rag mats. The furniture Is of the poorest, and sometimes 1t is homemade; tables i'm provised from boxes, chairs from bar. rels, and the beds more like stalls for cattle, with their straw mattresses and bundle of rags for clothing. A slow, dull fire of peat gives a cheerless warmth to the room. What few dishes there are belonging to the family are arranged on the mantelpiece. Strips of bacon, dried cod and herbs hang from the ceiling.
 After q frugal meal Pat will take his evening promenade. It Is between sup. per time and going to bed that the Irish most enjoy themselves. An Irish twi. light is different from any other; in- deed, 1t is without rival. It seems as if there the sun were loath to set, cast Ing its rays over the Emerald Isle many hours after 1t had disappeared else where. In that delicious moment. just before 1t finds It's final resting place for the night, 1t is most enchanting. Over everything is an unspeakable spell of peace and quiet, and warm glow casts into shadow unsightly objects and sur. rounds them with mystic halo of golden light. It radiates into the hearts of Ireland's humblest inhabitants, and they sally forth. rich and poor alike. mingling in throps of living. moving humanity
