Last Tuesday afternoon and We'd
nesday ragged one of the hardest
wind storms this season. A heavy
rain accompanied the wind. The
railroad has greatly suffered, the
train and mail service being demor-
allied. Since Tuesday evening there
has been no mail from points north
OF Albany, and passengers on the
Wednesday morning train are still
on the road between here and Cor
wallis. No track has been washed
out but high water and drift against
bridges makes it unsafe for the trains
to cross. Telephone lines are down
all over the county, and many wag-
on bridges have been destroyed.
The wagol. bridge at Ramsdell's
place above Elk City, which was
built last summer washed out, also
the bridge Of the Elk City Lumber
Company at Elk City. Ten feet of
water was reported to have been in
the sawmill at the latter place. The
vast amount of fresh water together
with the high tides played havoc
with the hked along the Bay. In
town here little damage was done.
The electric light plant was disabled
from furnishing lights Wednesday
night on account of water raising in
the mill. The stock sheds at the
Fair grounds were blown down, and
old fences destroyed.

FatnI Applause.

An English lady snake charmer
named Leyton was performing ut a
village called Vaelhlinger, In Rhenish
Prussia, in menagerie with q boa
constructor. This she permitted to coll
round her neck and breast. Her cour'
age met with thunders of applause
from the spectators, who little dreamed
that by their signs Of approval they
had sealed the poor charmer's death
warrant. Such, however, proved to be
the case, for, apparently infuriated at
their demonstrations, the reptile tight
ened its coils and amid the shrieks OF
the public strangled the lady ON the
platform before anything could ba
done to assist her. The snake was i'm

TRUTH TRIUMPHS..
Life Is Conflict, and Error Dies In
the Struggle,

Life Is a Conflict, and Error Dies In
tie Struggle.
Life is struggle. Wars end, but the
war of the race-the antagonism of
thought, the strife between men, be-
tween man and the forces external to
him, within the soul of the individual
ends not save it be with extinction.
Error gains many a temporary -tri-
umph. but the final victory is with
truth. There is substance in truth that
in the last balance outweighs error.
Natures process is by test and trial,
by unfolding, changing, ripping up, un-
doing. redoing. BY contrast and con-
6ict she tries sincerity and treachery,
honor and dishonor, fitness and unfit
ness, courage and cowardice, truth and
error. The conflict of ideas between
social and political systems and be-
tween creeds and PHILOSOPHERS is as
rude as the conflict between the sea
and land Error dies in the struggle

A JAPANESE LEGEND.
The Girl Fish and thA Shinto Shrine
at Choshi.

The Girl Fish and the shinto Shrine
at Choshi.
Most Shinto slrines in Japan have q
story. Here is one which il told of the
leading shrine of Choshi: A traveller
was entertained in the home Of a rich
man. A daughter of the host fell in
love with the traveller, who did moi
care for her because she was ugly
Being under obligation to the family,
lie could not ignore the girls love, sc
he told her that he meant to drown
himself the next Gay. She decided to
do the same and did it. The traveller
gave up the idca-if he ever had it.
One Of the gods changed the girl into
a fish, and to this day the fishermen OF
the town often see that particular fish
in the waters near their shores. Some
times she is caught in the nets, but she
is always reverently returned to the
sea. A shrine was erected on the bill
above the town and dedicated to the
memory Of the girl fish,
Before starting out to sea the fisher
men so to this shrine to pray for good
