IntercessiOn for Ex.Sheriff.

Washington, Oct. 11.-Attorney A.
H. Cliff, of Tennessee, to-day present
ed to the supreme court of the United
States the last of a number Of briefs
bearing on the petitions of Joseph
F. Shipp and number Of other resi-
dents of Chattanooga, charged with
completely in lynching negro, John
son, after the supreme court had TAX
en- cognizance Of his case.
There were originally about rs of
the defendants, but the number was
gradually reduced until the last term
of court, when seven or eight of them
were pronounced guilty. These in
cluded Mr.. Shipp, who was sheriff of
the county, and his deputy, jeremiah
Gibson, who was the county jailer.
In his brief Mr.. Cliff charges that
the court erred in many respects in
reaching its conclusions, and he espe-
cially asserts that when Johnson's g
lynching occurred he was not in the
custody Of the federal court but of
the State authorities.
Mr.. Cliff especially sets up in his
brief that he appears as the friend,
and not as the paid attorney Of his
clients. He speaks Of them as "old
Confederate soldiers and men of high
standing" in their community.

The Unexpected Truth.

The minister was spending the
afternoon at the home Of one of his
members. The father told his
little son to bring some apples
from the cellar. The child
obeyed and in the kitchen found
an especially large red one
which had been brought up the day
before, so placed it on the dish with
the others.
When they were passed this was
the apple the minister took and feel
ing it 80 warm, remarked to the host
that the cellar must be very warm.
did you not bring these apples
from the cellar, Ned?"
Eyes, father, all but that one pas
tor has; it was in the kitchen"
"Why didn't you tell me?" asked
the pastor.
"Well," with childish frankness,
"I didn't think you would take the
biggest one on the dish!"-The De-
lineator for November.

Raises Unusual Question.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE ques-
ton whether the ordinary insurance
policy insures a man aginst death by
legal hanging is raised in the case
of the Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany vs.. J. William McCue and 9th
ers which was presented to-day to
the supreme court of the United
States.
McCue is one of the children Of the
late Mayor McCue of Charlottesville,
who was found guilty Of numbering
his wife and hanged for the offense
in 1905.
About year previous to the crime
McCue took out an insurance policy
of $4,000 in the Mutual Life. The
company refused to pay the policy
on the ground that "the death OF the
insured by hanging under sentence
of court of justice annulled the con-
tract of insured"

Shot Companion and Killed Self.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 7.-While her
male companion slept on couch in
her apartment, Mrs. Fannie Waters,
a fashionable dressmaker at IA
South Main street, directly across
from the Hotel Gayoso, shot him to
death and then, going to her bed

her brain some time last night, &C
cording to the theory of the police
department.
Both parties cold in death, were
found to-day, and quick investiga-
tion by Capt. Perry and members of
the police department led to the. the
ory Of murder and suicide, the woman
using the revolver.
The dead man is supposed to be

ton on a card gave the address as
265 Madison avenue, but the name

Half Of Key West in Ruins.

Key West, Oct. 12.-HaH the oity
is practically In ruins. Over 500
houses have been destroyed ana
more than 100 ships wrecked as q %.
suit of the hurricane which swept
this city yesterday afternoon. Seven
churches and nine of the largest FAC
tories in the South also were de-
stroyed. -:4l5.
Thousands of men are now at work
clearing up the streets under the d.
rection of Mayor Fogarty.
One death is reported, that at
Frank Gray, a photographer. .s
To-day hundreds of homeless were
roaming the streets. Fortunately
the weather Is bright and warm. ana
there is little physical suffering.
The war department has instructed
the commandant Of the coast arttl-.
lery companies stationed here to aid
the city authorities in every way pos
sible, and tents and bedding will b.
distributed by the soldiers.
At this time no estimate can Do
given of the financial loss caused by
the storm, but it Is believed it will b.
between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000.
It will be weeks, and In some tn-
stances months, before the big to-
bacco factories will be able to resume
operations and business generally
will be at standstill for at least
several days.
AS soon as darkness fell last night
thieves began their raid on the homes
and Office buildings destroyed by the
storm. The police were unable 70
cope with the situation and Mayor
Fogarty Immediately called for the
organization, and the city was placed
Key West Guards, the local military
under martial law.
In the residence districts the streets
in many instances were rendered Inn
passable by the ruins Of the houses.
Whole buildings were picked up by
the gale and hurled across the street
and only the advanced warnings OF
the weather bureau prevented .
heavy loss Of life.
Along the water front the beaches
were strewn with the wreckage OF
small boats of all kinds, and here
hardly a building was left standing.
| while piers and wharves were al
swept away. At the time the storm
broke yesterday afternoon there were
nearly 100 vessels In the harbor. The
majority of these were swept to seq
or broken up on the beaches.

Two Views OF Motherhood.

Some years ago, an American
friend and I were passing through .
street in the city of Tokyo, says Ada
chi Kinnosuke in The Delineator tor
November. We came upon a gate
way which smiled like May-dly
festival, and like it, was full %
people.
whats all this fuss about, my
friend" asked me. Have they hit .
gold mine?"
No, they had not. To the good
people the OCCASION meant deal
more than the discovery Of gold. i
was the coming Of baby. The proud
parents were sending out messengers
into the four corners of the city an-t
nouncing the glad tidings Of exceeds
ing great JOY. And I told my Amert~
can friend:
"Do your people make such fuss
about baby? Babies are born every
day in this country, aren't they?
Which was true. But we look upon
this matter entirely In different
way. It may be that this is one Of
the relics of the past, but we put
emphasis upon the continuation OF O.
family line. Confucius, whose ghost
is much more powerful in Japan OF
to-day than all the prophets and PHI
losophers now living put together.
made childlessness just ground for
divorce. The coming Of the baby
means to a mother more than meat,
aye, more than fashionable gar.
ment. It is the social insignium with
the Japanese mother; nothing de6nea
her social rank as finally as the baby.
The Nippon society is heartless To-
the childless mother; it brands her Al
"the stone-woman;" it exposes her to
the CALLING pity Of all her more fa-.
vored sisters. In the sterner days ;of
the samuri ideal, she was an object to
be Stunned, like a leper. The child
less mother did not dare to impose
herself upon society. A rather far
cry, this, from the fashionable Fifth
Avenue atmosphere, isn't it?

HURRICANE IN CUBAN CITY.
Most Serious Cyclone Since 19Oe
Strikes Habana.

Habana, Oct. 1.-THE most seri.
GUS cyclone since the big blow Of Oc-
tober II, 1906, struck Cuba early this
morning, causing extensive deyasta'

steamers, however, arrived at $3.50
this afternoon, having kept of shore
for hours awaiting an abatement OF
the storm.

vicinity is estimated at $1,000,000
The greatest individual loss has

that Key West has ever experienced

tonight that the indications are that
the entire east coast of Florida will
suffer terribly tonight.
OF 100 local vessels in the harbor
this morning but five remain at an
chor, the others having either gone
to sea or been washed up on the
beaches. The streets along the water
front are a mass of wreckage.
Brick as well as frame buildings
throughout the city suffered alike
from the fury Of the heavy wind and
many miraculous escapes from death
or serious injury have, been reported.

dences either totally wrecked or
blown from their pillars, nine fac
tories were partially destroyed, In
cluding the Habana-American, Marti-
nez, Nicholas, Rue Lopez, Fleitas

was blown off, the postofflce damaged
and two running gears of the govern
ment coaling station were wrecked.
Every telephone and electric light
pole on Duval street, the principal
thoroughfare Of the city, was blown
down.
AS soon as the wind had subsided
plundering began. The city police
force was unable to cope with the
situation and the mayor decided to
take stringent measures to suppress
the looting, his proclamation OF mar
tial law resulting.
Almost every nationality is repre-
sented among the city's population
