They Flee From Their Homes When

New York, April 29.-Twenty- five
families have been driven from their
homes in st. Raymond's park, Bronx
borough, by the overlooking of the
waters Of Cedric creek. Property was
damaged to the extent Of several thou
sands of dolalrs. The flooded district
is about one mile square in area on
both sides of the creek. Fifty persons
were rescued from the flooded houses
by Westchester police, who hastily i'm
provised RATS for the purpose.
The flood was caused by an unusual
ly high tide which brought rush Of
water from Long Island sound into the
creek and over the lowlands at St.
Raymonds park.
So quickly did the flood appear that
few persons had time TO escape. Base
ments were flooded and the water In
many homes filled the lower floors. The
foundations of many buildings were
loosened and they threatened to col

NAPLES SPREADS ITSELF
IN HONOR OF LOUBET
President of French Republic Meets With
Warm Welcome at Hands
of Gay Italians.

Naples, April 29.-The inhabitants oi
this city remember no event in the
late years which compared with the
scene today, the occasion being the
visit Of President Loubet of France
or gathered such enormous crowds OF
Italians and foreigners. 1t is estimated
that 10000 people crowded the cafes
or wandered about the streets all
night unable to find beds. From early
morning every position available for
witnessing the naval review was COM
pletely occupied by spectators and the
magnificent Gulf of Naples was COM
pletely covered with craft Of all kinds.
from large yachts to humble fishing
and rowing boats, and of all national
tiles, each hosting its colors, the
French predominating. The spectacle
of the French and Italian squadrons
anchored side by side was magnificent
and most impressive.
The battleship Regina Margherita,
having on board President Loubet,
King Victor Emmanuel and the royal
princes, with their respective suites,
appeared from the military harbor,
and was saluted by laundering hur-
rahs, the booming of cannon and the
waving of handkerchiefs by the i'm
mense multitude. The Regina Mar
gherita passed twice between the

squadrons. and President Loubet and
the king exchanged compliments or
the perfection OF the ship and the ap-
pearance Of the men.
From the Regina Margherita Pres
ldent Loubet went on board the French
cruiser Marselllais, which is to carry
him to France. He was saluted by 81
guns from each ship and by cheers
from all the crews. Shortly after
embarking on the ship he was visited
by the king, when the last adleus were
taken.
Amidst scene Of indescribable en-
thusiasm the French squadron left the
bay headed by the Marseillais. The
French ships were accompanied by six
Italian battleshlps and two squadrons
of tcrpedoboat destroyers. As long as
1t was possible TO distinguish the salu-
tations, President Loubet and the king
exchanged their farewells, standing on
the bridges of the two warships.
The United States battleship Ken
lucky, flying the flag Of Rear Admiral
Evans, arrived here today on her way
to the United States from the far east
and assisted in the review. The Ken
lucky was most conspicuous, her white
paint causing her to stand out sharply
among the black painted French ships
and the gray colored italian vessels.

journed yesterday evening sine die. The
last days work was filled with inter-
esting talks, excellent music furnished
by teachers and outsiders, queries and
their answers and other interesting
features. The institute as whole was
a good one and those who attended the
sessions feel that their time was well
put in.
After spirited singing Superintend-
snt Traver began the days program by
an interesting talk On school room
decorations. The school room, said
the speaker. should be the most at
tractive room in the city. He empha-
sized his address by the use of en-
cravings of worlds best pictures, which
he illuminated by artistic criticisms
and word sketches Of the intent and
meaning Of the artist. This talk will
doubtless be most far reaching and
educative to teh receptive minds Of the
teachers that listened so carefully to :
the careful exposition.
Primary reading was then conducted
by the same educator in a very help
fur manner. The recess, which fol-
lowed, was a social function, that all
enjoyed.
