Galveston, Tex, Again Laid Waste
Immense Waoe Repeats Catacsm or Nine Years Ago Tow
 Wiped Of Mqp--Scoes Of People Perish

NEW ORLEANS, July 22nd- The particulars of the immense ti- dal wave which devastated the Gulf coast yesterday, are slowly reach- ing this city. The damage is great est at Galveston, Texas, where, in spite of the millions of dollars ex- pended to guard against just such an occurrence, conditions appear to be equally as bad as those of Sept. 1, 1900, when the coast was laid. waste by a similar disturbance.
 Particulars are not as vel obtain able, but it appers that practically all of Galveston was engulphed without moments warning, and scores of the inhabitants drowned. From the smaller towns along the coast come like reports of wholesale death and destruction.
 Aid is pouring in from every hand, the different states and the national government uniting to aid the sufferers.
 Later-At noon today the water was slowly recedeing, but was still over eight feet deep all over the city of Galveston.

A Fine New Boat on the Run

Several days overdue owing to encounterfng ice in Bering Sea, the fine new steamer St. Croix, oi the Standardization Steamship Co.,, made port Mondoy evening. She is certainly a handsome ves- sel, and 1t is to be hoped that busi- ness enough will develope to keep her or the run steadily. She is built on the same general lines as the Cottage City though larger, and being of newer and more modern construction is a much finer and better vessel. She is fitted with wireless, and has many convent ences not found on the other yes- sals operating on this run. Her staterooms are all large and airy,
 containing but two berths, each of which is fitted with a portable read

Steamers Galore

Monday of this week was a red letter day on the boat question, with a total of five to its credit. The fun began early, when the steamers Spokane and Queen ar rived bright and early, about six o'clock, with ever fourhundred pas sengers between them, who quick ly scattered over the town, before the most of us had surrounded our breakfasts. They took in every point of interest and kept every body at the stores busy until elev- en o'clock, when, with much toot- ing of whistles, they sailed for the north.
 The Port Simpson was the next to appear, arriving just about noon after a pleasant trip from Tele- graph creek.
 Right on the schedule as usual, the Humboldt tied up to the wharf a little before three, with passen- ger list taxing her capacity. The cut rate of s5o.oo for the round trip, which she is now making is certainly getting all the business for her that she can handle.
 Shortly after six the fifth and last vessel of the day appeared the St. Croix. She was on her way south from an excursion trip to Nome, with fair sized passenger list. She took a couple af passen- gers south from this port.

MURDER WOMAN WHO
WORE IDOLS JEWEL

LONDON. Oct. IA weird story Of
Oriental vengeance is published concern
ing the mysterious murder of Mrs Lizard
Sevenoaks, Kent more than a year ago.
The unfortunate lady was found lying
dead in the woods near her home, with
a revolver shot in the head and her rings
dragged from her fingers. These included
a ring with a very large diamond. sur
rounded by seven or eight smaller dia-
monds-a gift from her husband on her
wedding day.
By whom Mrs. Lizard was killed has
ever since been a mystery. The stolen
Jewels were never again seen in England.
The theory now put forward is romantic
in the extreme. In q Chinese temple there
is a venerated idol which for many years
has been lacking one eye. This missing
eye. a great flashing diamond, has now
been mysteriously replaced.
A British naval officer. who is RESPONSE
BILE for this story believes that the idols
eye and the great diamond that was in
Mrs. Luard's ring. are identical; that 1t
had been stolen by sacriligious hands and
made into a ring, which General Lizard
ultimately became possessed of and pre-
scented to his bride nearly 30 years ago
Ever since the eye disappeared, the Chi
nese worshippers of the outraged idol had
been searching the globe for it, and at
last found 1t on the finger of an innocent,
elderly English lady. with Oriental cum
ming the finder and murderer managed to
elude the police and get out of Eng
land with his precious relic, which was
finally restored to its place as the idols
eye.

exceed that of October. 1907, when it had

everybody is at work and that our mar
veIous productive capacity has resumed
it's normal efficiency"
