Wien waterspouts Come ashore.

Long Island was visited Friday by
two waterspouts, one of which came in
from the ocean between Arverne and
Edgemere, on the south shore, and the
other swept across Long Island Sound,
striking at Southold. They were unlike
anything else ever seen in these waters,
and were more than 500 feet high.
Altho no damage of consequence was
done on the south shore, the water
spout eollapsing as it reached the land.
destruction was in the wake of the one
from Long Island Sound.
When the waterspout struck Southold
it wrecked the bathing beach there and
hurled lighthouses into the fields. A
barn owned by Oscar Well was knocked
to the ground, and the cottage of Rob-
lert v. FitZ was unroofed. Lumber piled
in the Southold Lumber Yard was car
ried more than 100 feet into the air
and scattered thru the village. Trees
were uprooted and broken down and
fences and small buildings were ripped
TO pieces.
Sea captains and yaehtsmen said that
never before in their experience had
they witnessed anything like this phe-
nomenon in the Sound.
Persons along the Connecticut shore
! saw the waterspout forming about IL
o'clock in the morning. Its course be-
gan in the waters of Long Island Sound,
IL
heavy rain that were its accompani-
ments did any damage till after the
spout had crossed Shelter Island ana.
ltraversing Peconic Bay, was dissipated
over Southold.
The origin of the waterspout in the
waters of the Sound was described by
those who saw it as of the appearances
| of black cloud which hung low over
! the water This cloud seemed to sag
| in the middle till the lowest point was
considerably closer to the surface OF
the water than was the remainder.
Watchers saw column of water rise
out OF the Sound, drawn seemingly by
the action of the high wind. When this
column had been drawn upward con-
siderable distance the big black cloud
fiattened out and started with its pend
ant of water in a southwesterly direc-
|tion toward the Long Island shore.
When persons in Southold saw it first
they thought the waterspout was at
least 400 feet high and ran to shelter.
When the rain fell the storm was more
severe than any Southold has had in
years. The extremely high wind which
accompanied the strange visitor seemed
to have as much velocity as hurricane.
During the visit of the waterspout
the skies were darkened, and In the
streets of Southold it was difficult to
distinguish one object from another at
a distance of only few feet. Persons
who have lived for years on Long Island
said they had never seen anything like
the column of water they saw travelling
thru the air on this occasion.
The formation of the waterspout on
Long Island Sound was not preceded by
any atmospheric condition so unusual
as to attract the attention of yachtsmen
and othess familiar with the Sound, and
had any yachts been in the pathway OF
the waterspout ii is thought they would
not have had time to escape before the
danger overlook them.

Alabama is taking the lead in drastic
prohibition. The Carmichael act, which
has been signed by the Governor, makes
illegal the maintenance Of "lockef
clubs" and makes the possession Of a
United States revenue license an evi-
dence Of guilt. The Alabama House of
Representatives passed a bill which pro-
hibits the advertisement of liquors in
any paper or upon any billboard, and
no train may leave car containing
liquor upon any track in the State. OFF,
GERS may raid places under suspicion
and destroy whatever liquors they find.
Every corporation must promise upon
obtaining its charter to not bring in
liquors of any kline and the violation
of this clause will revoke the license
automatically.

We have had so many lamsnts over
the condition Of women in India that
it is rather startling to have pointed out
a few notes in our own eyes. Mr.. st.
Nihal Singh, an accomplished Bengal
newspaper man, who has spent some
time in this country, assures US that we
are far behind Hindoostan In the mat
ter Of the relations between the two
sexes. He says the American girl in
dulges in every hypocrisy to win hus-
band, and studiously conceals faults,
mental. physical and moral, which at
once disenchant him after she has
caught him. The American husband is
a boor at home, no matter how pol
ished his manners may be in the streets.
This can be seen every day by watching
the conduct Of husbands to their wives
on the trains. the streets and in public
places.

Such a scene as was witnessed in
that low. dirty, ill-smelling depot on
the evening of Monday. Aug. 16, was an
ineffable disgrace to our boasted Ameri-
can railroading. The evening was in
sufferabIy hot, all the trains from every
direction were hours late. and the wait
ing room was packed to suffocation with
thousands of men, women and children,
all nervous about catching their trains,
and all fearful that these would go out
without them. There were many wo-
men with babies in their arms, and lit
tie children clinging to their skirts. All
the information had to be gotten from
the gatemen, who were stationed at the
farther end of narrow passages into
which women carrying babies, and
men Juggling heavy bags surged, to jos
tie against the incoming passengers,
the statement that their trains were
late, and there was no knowing when
they would be in. Many women were
prostrated and some men by the intense
heat, fatigue, crowding and anxiety.
1t is a great wonder that there were
not more.
As usual there is no one held respon-
sible. The railroad men blame the
depot men, whom they say are beyond
their control. The depot men blame
the depot, and the bluffs which they
say prevent them extending the build
ing This is all mere subterfuge. The
railroads are coming money out of this
discommoding of the public. and Will
not spend the money to make things
better. The depot company is probably
made up Of the railroad managers, and
the guilt is upon all of them. They are
all equally blamable. A very little quite
ordinary ability could vastly improve
the conditions even in the present de-
pot. The improvement should begin by
getting a depot corps Of average in
telligence and civility.
