The cyclone

=.
We have not space to give an ac.
count of the terrible storm that passed
through Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala,
bama and other States FRIDAY, Apri
"a, and succeeding days, but the daily
papers have been so full of it that
probably most of our readers have
become familiar with the heart-rend-
ing scenes and destruction of life and
property that followed the fury of. the
wind. Subscriptions to relief funds
have been generous in all quarters,
and provisions and supplies Of all
kinds have been shipped to the dev-
astated districts.
At .Amite City sixteen lives were
lost, only two being white, the four
teen-year-old son Of Mrs. George Nc
Ginty and Father Felix Rumpf. The
damage to property was very great.
An irreparable less to Anite City is
the destruction of her beautiful oaks.
The loss to Amite is estimated at
half million dollars, half the people
being homeless.
Roofess houses have been covered
with tarpaulins to make them habita-
bic, and every shelter is being used
for housing the people.
At Angie there were three deaths
near the town, and number of build
ings were damaged, among them be-
ing the building Of the Foody Drug
Company and the building Of P. L.
Ford, both two-story structures, which
were demolished. The mill of Saxon
Brothers was also damaged.
Franklinton is estimated to be dam.
aged to the extent of $125, 900.
. Purvis, Miss, was almost complete.
ly destroyed, and loss Of life is great,
eighteen bodies being taken out in ar
unrecognizable condition, and buried
in one trench. About forty negro
bodies have so far been discovered.
Other towns in Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia suffered.
It is estimated that 400 were killec
and 1900 injured by the STERN.
Wind and hail storms did considera.
bic damage to crops.

TWO SHOT in A DUEL
Great Loss of Life and
Property i'll the Cy-
clone OF, Friday
Avalanche Buries Part Of
a Village on the Side
OF q Mountain.
Both Shot in Duel.

Pensacola, Fla, April 26. Frank
Willis was killed and Gordon Waldrop
injured in duel between them this
afternoon, about six miles west OF
here. Willis used shotgun charged
with buckshot and Waldrop was an
expert with a Winchester rife. There
had been considerable bad feeling be-
tween the two for several weeks, and
this was intensified this morning
when they met at a farmhouse. Will
lis was out hunting, and going there
to get some water found Waldrop. A
light at that time was prevented by
friends. Willis left the house and
had been gone half an hour when
Waldrop borrowed a Winchester rife
and followed. They met, OF at least
caught one another, about mile
from the house at a range Of 20(
yards. Willis opened fire with his
shotgun, the big shot striking Wal
drop in the face and shoulder. Wal
drop then raised his rifle and fired two
shots. One passed through the abdo-
men and the other near the heart,
causing almost instant death. Both
parties are of good families.
Waldrop fed after killing Willis,
and has not yet been captured.

AT Heayenas Gate

We publish the following from the
Times-Democrat by request:
/ oftimes dream of the beautiful city,
With it's wonderful jasper walls,
Where the light is the light Of Gods
own glory.
And no. darkness ever falls;
But / only think of those cleaning
portals
AS the place where my dear ones wait,
And, patient and tender, sweet as Of
old
My mothers face at the gate.
I have strayed away from the road to
the City.
/ have wandered in paths afar,
And often the way is dark and lonely,
With never a guiding star.
But know that whenever I find the
way,
Let the hour be ever so late,
I shall find it, patiently waiting there
My mothers face at the gate.

half of it was not IN the path Of the
avalanche. The sliding mass rushed
with a roar and spread fan-like over
part of the place and dumped itself
into the swollen stream at its foot.
Cut off from the outside world, mes
sengers were dispatched to Poupere,
the nearest hamlet. Those who ar
rived first estimated that at least a
dozen houses were crushed in the path
of the landslide. Buckingham was
appealed to, but the flight of the
messenger across the spring roads
was slow. Those first on the scene
found Salette in a panic, with the un-
injured ones packing their belongings
for fright.
The first messengers to Bucking-
ham ordered twenty-five cofins to be
sent to Notre Dame De Salette.

A Mountain Slide .

Buckingham, Ont, April 26. Half
of the little French hamlet of Notre
Dame de Salette, sixty miles from
here on the Lievre river, was buried
tonight under sliding mountain, and
at least thirty of its small population
are known to have perished. The
hamlet has no telephone or telegraph
and neither is it on a railroad. Mea-
gre news of the disaster came in by
messenger from the physicians and
other rescuers who hurried there when
the first call for aid came. The river
Lievre winds at the foot Of the ham
let and a mountain towers behind it.
Spring rains for days past have been
melting the snow and ice on the
mountain side, and streams have been
coursing down to the river. At
o'clock this morning part of the
mountain started to slide toward the
river. 1t tore a path Of death and de-
struction, and those who were not
killed when their homes were engulf-
ed were left buried under the mass
of rock and earth.
Camille La Points house stood first
in the path Of the avalanche. He and
his family Of eleven are known to
have perished. Eight others. whose
names have not been obtained, are
missing. Mrs. Des Jardin's 5 cottage
also was swept away, and she with,
her two children, adomestie and hired
man, are known to be buried in the
landslide.

Railways Have No National Policy.

Herbert n. Casson in Broadway Maya
zine for July.
American railroads have as yet no
national policy. They have few nation
al ideas of any kind. Each one has its
own local interests, and cares little for
anything else. They ave never at any
time tried to organize n to unite upon
a policy that would protect the inter-
ests Of all railways alike. The truth
seems TO be that the railroads are no
more united than the red Indians were,
When the white man came to deprive
them of their land. There are seven
great tribes of railroads, and about 600
little tribes, each one jealous of the
others and more enthusiastic for q fight
thar for an agreement. This is a fact
of tremendous Importance TO the out
side public, as it dispels the common
opinion that the railroads are too strong
and united 10 be controlled.
Let us alone!"-that is the new slo-
gan OF the railway presidents. Ii is
their political rallying cry-their plea
their defiance. There are some railway
men who are so far behind the spirit OF
today that they really believe Let us
alone" is an argument. They do not
see that the towering fact of the whole
railway situation is this-that the rail-
ways have been let alone too long. The
time has arrived when they must adopt
themselves TO a higher conception OF
the railway business.

said the professor.
AT being found ignorant, so soon after
commencement day, the girl graduate
blushed.
There is an elephants school in SIAM"
said he. Young elephants are taught in
Ii TO take up and carry in their trunks
great teakwood logs-no easy task, for
the logs require delicate valancing. They
are taught TO kneel, to answer the various
strokes Of the ankus, or goad, and like
saddle horses, they learn several gaits.
Pets schools abound the world over.
There are schools for white mice, for
monkeys, for song birds, not 10 mention
the famous Jacob Hope photograph
school for teaching parrots to ak that

The big dealers In wild animals usual
ly run small schools where lions, tigers,
bears and leopards are taught simple
tricks. Such schools are very profitable.

Summer Styles.

Old fashioned stocks are coming In
again. The new styles were generally
discarded last fall. and, while still in
vogue to a limited extent. are not uni
versally sought after.
Girls are in all colors. They are still
worn on the arm coming down the
aisle. A pretty effect in girls Is seen
ut the seashore, where they are gath
cred daintily around one young man.
Although girls are going out all the
time, enough come In to keep them
very popular.
Some of the popular colors are as
follows: In legal circles, black and
white; at Saratoga. long green; I'm
theatrical circles, red n pink: at the
mint, old gold. An effort to intro
1ace ~stTises fnto railroad efccfes' "tas
completely failed.
Quiet colors in jokes prevail.
Mothersinlaw are scarcely ever seen,
even In barber shops. Insurance effects
have gone out. Punning designs are
seen In vaudeville n circus rings,

server.
Up until III end of h war and a
little while after the whipping post and
stocks stood not far from the north
west corner of the court house and be-
tween that building and the present
postoffice, and there the last whipping
took place, though as ii began 1t was
sought TO be stopped by a federal Of
ficef. The sheriff was, however, simply
carrying out the mandate of the old
court Of pleas and quarter sessions.
In those days the stock and the
whipping post, too, were special attrac-
tons, notably to boys. The latter were
allowed TO ridicule people who sat in
the stocks, which held their hands and
feet, but not to throw anything AT
Them
OF course this deprived the boys OF
some degree of pleasure, yet they con
trived TO get a good deal of fun out OF
the thing anyway. II seems odd now
even to think of such scenes as these
must have been. Figure to yourself
passing by the court house green al
Charlotte or Raleigh and seeing a
gentleman held by the ankles and
wrists by wooden bars, sitting there in
the sunshine for all the world TO look
at.
Those were the days OF the branding
iron, too A set of gives of iron, in
use for holding the ankles or wrists,
are on exhibition here. but of branding
irons there are none. These were used
here in January. 1865, for the last
time.
