TERRIFIC STORM ONLY
SLIGHTLY FELT HERE
But Eastern Shore is Deyasted by
Wind and Water.
BIG BRIDGE CARRIED AWAY.
Roads Inundated, Railway Traffic Tied
Up and Many Sections Cut OFF
From Communication.

Annapolis and the county felt st C.
tion Of the severe wind and rain
storm that swept the Atlantic sea.
board yesterday afternoon and last
night. The storm was a Southwestern
and blew terrific gale.
But at times it seemed to be
blowing from all directions. Leaves
falling from the trees were carried
about in the streets as If by a
whirlwind. AS a result the tide is
the highest il has been for several
years, water being in the beds of
streets along the harbor No SER
ious items of damage either in the
city or county have been reported.
Large limbs were blown from tire es,
and in many instances fences were
blown down.
In Maryland the storm was the
most severe on the Eastern shore.
where it left great trail of damage
in its path. Every county along the
Shore was swept by the gale, which,
it is estimated, attained velocity
Of sixtytwo miles an hour. Making
its way along the Eastern shore of
Virginia, the storm reached Maryland
at noon yesterday and the blow con-
tinued until after 9 o'clock at night.
The principal damage was by water,
the terrific winds csrrying the tide
far above its usual height and sweep
ing the waters into the towns border
ing on the Chesapeake Bay and its
tributaries. Scores of people were
driven from their homes by the fear
of what might happen when the
water, which had reached as high as
six feet in some places. would rise
still higher at high tide.
The majority of the towns, villages
and rural communities were entirely
cut off from communication with
other parts of the State. Telegraph
and telephone wires are down, and
roads and railroads are blocked.
Practically all of the main roads are
flooded tc a depth of at least two
feet, and the washouts along the rail-
road tracks have prevented the run
ming of the trains.
OF the places that have been heard
from. the towns of Oxford, in Tai
bot county, and Crisfield, in Some rset
county. suffered the greatest damage.
Oxford is close to the bay and the
storm made its fury felt early in the
day. The s20,000 bridge over the
Tired Avon river. which was rapidly
ne airing completion and was almost
ready for gener use, was swept
away after. the wind and water had
beaten against its piers and dikes for
hours.
Little by little the big stucture
weake ned and gradually gave way,
until with crushing sound it broke
loose from its foundation and went
down into the river.

How Miss Ethel Roosevelt Cap
tured Future Husband.
Riding to the Hounds and to Polo
Wins Heart of Young Doctor
Both Popular and Have
Many Friends.

New York.-It was the most natural
thing in the world for Miss Ethel
Carew Roosevelt and DR.. Richard
Derby. whose betrothal has been an
nounced, to fall in love, because they
are both in love with good horse
and ardently devoted to outdoor sports
and exercises. So Miss Roosevelt, a
superb horse woman, figuratively rode
into the doctors heart, and it was as
a fine cavalier that he won hers, most
probably.
The intimate friends of the young
pair needed no gift of prophecy to fore
tell months ago that Doctor Derby
would ask, will you ride side by side
with me through life?" and that Miss
Roosevelt would answer, blushingly.
Yes"
Besides being an admirable horse
man, Doctor Derby is a Harvard man,
was graduated in '03, and that gave
him an advantage ''in the running" as
Miss Roosevelt herself might say.
Certainly it did no harm that Doctor
Derby could add a Harvard degree to
his many virtues and accomplish
ments when he came to TASK papa"
In word, the romance Of Miss
Roosevelt and Doctor Derby has been a
romance of the saddle. They were
very much in each others society last
summer and autumn at open-air horse
shows. Together they auplauded the

ECZEMA IN RED BL0TCHES

Some time last summer I was taken
with eczema. It began in my hair
first with red blotches, then scaly,
spreading to my face. The blotches
were red on my face, dry and scaly,
not large; on my scalp they were
larger, some scabby. They came on
my hands. The inside Of my hands
were all little Jumps as though full OF
shot about one-sixteenth Of an inch
under the skin. Then they went to
the outside and between and all over
my fingers. 1t also began on the bot
toms of my feet and the calves OF my
legs, and itch, oh, my! I never had
anything like 1t and hope never will
again. The itching was terrible. MY
hands got so could scarcely work.
IT tried different eczema ointments
but without results. I also took medi-
cine for it but it did no good. I saw
