GALE At GALVESTON
WIND ATTAINED VELOCITY OF
80 MILES AN HOUR.
Ten Perish on Pier Six Miles From

Galveston, Tex.-Ten dead is the total
of death claimed as far as is known in
the hurricane which swept over the Gulf
of Mexico and struck Galveston Wednes.

pom fishing pier, seven miles from the
city, where the storm whipped over the
jetty into the bay, ten persons were
washed from the rocky ~promontories in
the gulf.
The first intimation that the storm
was approaching the Texas coast came
Tuesday evening, when about s o'clock
the wind, which had been blowing from
the northeast, began to increase in We,
locity, and it kept gaining in force until
at 1850 o'clock Wednesday morning it
lad reached a velocity of sixty-nine miles
according to the report of the weather
bureau.
With the increasing wind, the barom.
eter began to drop, falling slowly until
$3.50, when it took almost a sudden shoot
downward, reaching 1886 at 10 am. At
this time the storm was at its height.

were filling with water, backed up from
the bay front through the sewers. It
was during the time between $3.50 and
10 o'clock that the resorts on the beach
gave way, and with this disaster cam
the widest of reports Of other damage
done on the beach.
The Galveston sea wall, that magnif.
! cent structure designed and erected by
the greatest engineering skill of the
! country, proved that it was capable OF
doing all that was promised of it, and
it is conceded by all that had it not
been for its protection lives and prop.

disturbed by the influence of the tornado
reached above the riprap work and struck
on the wall with tremendous force,
where they were broken into spray and
after being thrown into the air fully

The wall stood without a shake, and
proved that it has made Galveston safe
from a repetition of the calamity OF
1900.
In the eastern part of the city, where
the g~rade-raising canal is yet incomplete.
the northeast wind drove the water ur
into the canal and the waves o%verlapped
the banks and came into the streets, but
only for a short time.
As soon as the wind changed the wa
ter in the canal at once subsidized and
the water in the streets ran back into
the gulf. In the western part of the city
several buildings in course of consruc
ton were also damaged and several
buildings that were raised above the
grade-raising canal were blown from theil
foundations.
Although a high tide is running or

confined to a number of small launches

this early hour to secure the names O.,

Alumnae Delightfully."- Entertained.

The class of 1905, st. Mary's acad-
envy, whose members are Miss Anna
ROtzler, Miss Florence Donahue, Mrs.
Benjamin Ferris, Miss Lola Guthrie and
Miss Rose McDonough, charmingly en-
tertained the Alumnae association at
the McDonough home on c street last
week. The house was tastefully deco
rated with early spring flowers and
carnations. Many interesting guessing
games were played, Miss Lorna Burton,
1909, winning the prize, a handsome sill
yer spoon. An interesting pastime was
the composing of an ode to st. Mary S,
which every guest had to write, and in
ten minutes, too. The "effusions" were
so clever that the judges, Miss Frances
Phillips and Miss Mae Kane (wise,
careful young ladies. by the way, re-
fused to select the best, so all drew,
Miss Burton again winning the prize,
morocco bound copy of Moores
poems. The poetesses decided to have
all the poems CD published in The In
termountain Catholic, but on second
thought did not think it wise, for fear of
hearing some serious advice from for
mer teachers of rhetoric. This was
thought particularly best for the grad
yates of 1909, whose clever rhetoric
teacher is within speaking distance. 1t
is a sad but truthful fact that one
alumnus, 1901, tried to make June"
rhyme with balloon which was one
reason for not publishing the verse.
After the poetry doin's.' Miss Florence
O'Neil, who has a beautiful voice,
charmed her audience with several Sc
lections. Dainty refreshments were
served, the ice cream being in the
alumnae colors of the blue and gold.
The guests departed, or started to de-
part at midnight, after giving with en-
tire loss of dignity the academy yell"
They succeeded in awaking all neigh
bors for several blocks, and all the
CANNES in the neighborhood for many
miles. Besides the alumnae members,
the graduates ~ef 1909, Misses Lorna
Burton, Ethel Bixby, Edna Camomile,
Katherine Brennan and Maude Taylor,
were present. The evening will long be
remembered as one of great pleasure.
The Misses McDonough, Margaret,

attractive. The other affairs, the can
delabra vases were spotlessly clean, and
the saCristy left in perfect order.
For the information of the two women
who telephoned to this office on Thurs
day evening, it may be stated that wells
only, not wreaths, may be worn by mar
ried women when receiving confirma-
ton. OF late years it has become GUS
tomary for them to wear hats, of course
not carriage wheel" size of the present
fashion. Wells should never be worn
over the face while receiving holy COM
munion or confirmation. Gloves, of
course, are never worn. and it would
be better if the little girls wore white
silk gloves instead of kid, as the little
ones often find difficulty in removing
the tight kid and become very nervous
just before approaching the altar.
