Fine Parks Ruined.
On Thursday the beautiful Prado
presented a sad sight. Only six trees
on that heavily shaded thoroughfare
remained standing between Malecon
and Parque Central. The vista which
had been so charming was only wild
path through masses of tangled I'M
derbrush. The park also was stripped
of it's magnificent trees. Only a few
stately palms remain, the laurels hav
ing been all uprooted.
Not only were the Prado and Parque
Central ruined, but all the other pla-
zas suffered severely. Trees in the
Plaza De Arme were torn up in front
of the palace. The Campos Martl
was shorn of shade, and laurels that
were known to be more than a hun
dred years old went down before the
awful blast. Most of the damage can
be repaired, but it will take years tC
restore it's former beauty to the city.
Already hundreds of men of the pub
lie works department under the direc-
ton of Lieut.. Col William M. Black,
of the engineers, U. S. A., are replant-
ing uprooted trees.

The cruiser Denver, the cruiser

Schooners Driven Ashore.


Two coasting schooners were driv
en- high on the rocks at the Malecon.
The crew of one managed to get
ashore, but the crew OF the other,
four men, was drowned.
The chartered army transport Gu
bano, from Newport News, with
horses and mules and few team
sters, arrived here after a terrific
struggle with the gale off the Florida
coast The ships foremost was car
ried away and huge seas swept its
decks. The superstructure was dam
aged and a number of stalls were car
ried away. One hundred mules and
20 horses were swept overheard and
many other animals were injured.
Many Lighters Sunk.
The total number of lighters sunk
in the harbor has not yet been ascer-
tanned. Many of them were loaded
with sugar and other merchandise,
upon which the loss will be great.
Owing to the lack of lighters steam
ers are now discharging alongside the
ers against the harbor bulkheads,
where they were broken up or sank.
Three small steamers were blown
across the beach. A small schooner
was sunk alongside the sunken wreck
of the old battleship Maine, so that
the spars of both vessels stand to-
gether.
Losses Outside of Havana.
Much loss of life in the interior is
feared, as the hurricane struck the

WHEN MARCILLA
CAME HOME
Continued from page 8

by Greg, and the daintiness of her play
ing seemed in a measure to be appreciated
by her listeners. She passed on to the
more somber cadences of the lonely wan
derer, and then to his lament for his
country, wondering as she went on
whether Greig's wanderer felt more de-
jected than she did at that moment, and
SO to the birds and the finale of the
springtime. Applause, of course, when
she had finished; but she retired with the
leaden feeling of utter discontinue. Be-
tween herself and her audience there was
neither sympathy nor understanding.

cored, and this gave madam a little
further breathing space before the next

briskness, ending with melancholy, which
the discouraged woman thought was typ

she returned to the room at the back of
the platform, she sank into a chair, laid
her arms on the table, bent her head and
wept. The nearly demented Herr
Schwartz spent his time alternately try

You have never played better,
madam, insisted Herr Schwartz, land
it is not your fault; but what is to be ex-
pected here at the end of the world-at

again
But madam rose. The audience was
waiting After ALL" she said, they
have been very patient and very good
natured."
"Ah, WE'LL" sighed Herr Schwartz,
seeing her determination, Brahms will
rouse them if anything can"
The last item on the program was
"Zwei Rhapsodien," by Brahms. The
pianist received the customary applause
when she appeared for the final number.
Her soldiers were faithful to her, whether
they understood the music or not She
stopped for a moment at the piano, mo-
tionless, arms hanging by her side, as if
reluctant to begin. Herr Schwartz stood
unhappily in the corner, watching her in
tently, one hand nervously rubbing
against the other. He feared that she
would faint or cry; that something dis
astrous would follow, he was certain. He
knew the artistic temperament its need
of sympathy and encouragement At
last the players hands lowered over the
keys and an almost inaudible melody
began.
"Ach Gott!" muttered Schwartz, TAX
ing half a step forward, "that is not
Brahms" but he checked himself, know
ing his helplessness. In twinkling the
crowd caught the tune and a simultane-
Gus shout went up. 1t was the old
tramping melody, Marching Through
Georgia" and some of the white-haired
men seated there had accompanied Sher-
man in that historical dash for the
sea.
Hush, hushl" they whispered, and
the shout died down into silence. Softly
came the music. Every man, woman
and child there had heard it hundreds Of
times before, but never exactly like this.
There was a subdued melancholy in the
cadence that brought to the mind the
picture of tired men slowly trudging
through an enemy's land. A hoarse
voice was heard whispering:
Il swear, Tom, l can hear the mud
slosh in our boots!''
Il can hardly lift my foot" replied
Tom; and Marcilla knew she had them,
although there were indignant Kisses of
Hush, hush!" At last the low thunder
of a distant gun, and sob broke from
more than one veterans throat.
Atlanta, by Hcaven!' and this time
it was not a whisper, but an excited
cry.
The nearer guns opened OUT and the
song itself became a cry to battle, and
now, at last, the audience under
stood why Marcilla was the greatest
pianist in the world. The call to battle
was drowned in the scream of shell and
the thunder of the guns, the shrieks of
the wounded and the defiance of their
avengers pressing on. The great piano,
with it's huge, uplifted lid, became
veritable Port Arthur in its demoniac
clangor of war and death. Then came
the bugle calls and the ceasing of gun
fire, and now Marching Through Geor

JONES AND
MEARS MEET.
iiOnOrS Even at AccOmac Court.
NEARS BOLDLY AGAINST THE
PRIMARY.

ACcoMAC c. H., VA, May 7.-Con-
gresham William A. Jones and Mr..
Ohio F. Mears, his opponent, both spoke
here to day. The crowd nearly filled
the courthouse. Mr.. Mears spoke first.
His special plea was that Mr.. Jones
had had the office for sixteen years,
drawing $4,000 salary and that it was
now time to give another section a
chance Mr.. Mears was especially elo-
quent in his plea for Accomacs sup
port as it was the place of his birth and
early manhood. He stated he was OPP
posed to the primary system as it shut
the door to any man of small means to
apply for Office and was made for men
who drew large salaries. He bowed to
1t now as his party stood by it.
Mr.. Jones in his speech, claimed Gre
dit for having first favored the primary
and for having fought hard to final sue
cess in making it an established princi-
ciple of the Democratic party. The
speaker said he could not consider the
office of congressman from pecuniary
view and was startled at his opponent s
low plea in talking of dollars and cents.
He briefly reviewed the national is
sues and defined his position. He defen-
ded his record and said his opponent
had none to defend. 1t was necessary
now to have Broad and not contrac-
ted view, and even in his attention to
the national affairs, he had not neglec-
ted his district.
Both speakers received fine welcome
and from the frequent cheering it was
hard to tell which had the more friends.

SOME TEMPERANCE NOTES.

The drinking ofintoxicants is decreas-
ing among the middle classes of the
world and is increasing among the very
poor and the very rich.
The last Maryland Legislature greatly
enlarged the dry districts of Baltimore
City, so that practically one fourth of
the city is subject to prohibitory liquor
laws.
The effect of the 81 900 saloon license
was seen in the police reports to the
City Collector, showing that /, 1854 saloons
have gone out of business in Chicago
since April 80.

Falmouth had general good time.

Anti-saloon League is still at work.
Governor Glenn, of North Carolina. in
Raleigh recently delivered his address
on Law and Order" in advocacy of
Prohibition as against saloons and dis
pensary. Declaring that if he could
only drive out every saloon and dispen-
sary from North Carolina during his adj
ministration and establish prohibition he
could retire to private life satisfied and
content never to have another public
office. He argued that to abolish all
revenue from liquor would be ECONOMY.
Wilmington and Asheville, two LIQUOR
license cities of the State, were held up
by him as towns with the highest tax
rates.
Fake Social Clubs are being run to
earth in Richmond by Judge Witt. A
number have fallen uuder his orders.
Judge Witt has found way to rid the
city of the fake clubs, says the Times
Dispatch. The courts must discriminate
between the genuine and the fakes.
That is not hard to do. 1t is difficult to
make the law so nice that the takers
cannot violate it. But the court has
discretion and the court has common
sense The court knows fake club
when it isarraigned, and the court NAV
easily put it cut of business. Judge
Wits example might we'll be followed

Harold M. Figgs, of Accomac, was
convicted before Judge j. w. G. Black
stone of selling liquor without license,
the sentence being fine of $40 and ten
days in Jail. A number of citizens of
Accomac made an effort to have the
jail sentence omitted, and appealed to
the governor to that end. But Cover
nor Swanson does not see his right to
interfere in such cases, and he refused
pardon to Eggs, who will have to
serve his term. Governor Swanson has
had many appeals to relieve liquor law
violators of Jail penalties since he has
been In Office. but they begin to learn
that the Governor will show no leniency
for law-breakers. particularly of this
class.
