COMPLETE AND NOISY MEAL
Abundance of Nourishment
and Music"

The longest and noisiest dinner that
MT James Sibree, Jr., the author OF
"A Naturalist in Madagascar, ever at
tended was given by the governor OF
town called TeXarkana. About a score
Of officers were at the table and seven
ladies. After long grace by the pas
tor, dinner was brought in, and consist
ed of the following courses:
First, curry; second, goose; third,
pigeons and waterfowl; fourth, chick
en- outlets and poached eggs; fifth, beef
sausages; sixth, boiled tongue;
seventh, sardines; eighth, pigs trot-
ters; ninth, fried bananas; tenth, pan
cakes; eleventh, manioc; twelfth,
dried bananas.
And lastly, says Mr.. Sibree, when !
thought everything must have been
served, came launches of roast beef.
Claret went about very freely, and at
length some much stronger liquor;
and the healths Of the queen, Our
friends, the two foreigners" then
those of the prime minister, chief sec
rotary and chief judge, were all drunk
twice over, the governors coming
last; and each was followed by mu-
steal and drum honOrs.
There was a big drum just outside
on the veranda, as we'll as two small
ones, besides clarinets and fiddles.
and these were in full play almost all
the time. Then the room was filled
by a crowd of servants and aids de
camp, and the shouting of everyone,
from the governor down, was deafen-
ing. The old gentleman directed every
thing and everyone. l was glad when
/ could take my leave, after two hours
sitting, but l was not to leave quietly.
The governor took me by the hand and
escorted me home, while the big drum
was hammered at ahead of us all the
way.-Youth's Companion.

Galveston, Aug. 1S.-The tropical
storm which struck Galveston, while
very severe, had caused no serious
damage and no loss of life, according
10 latest reports received. The Gal
weston seawall, built as a precaution
against hurricanes, has withstood the
fury of the storm and showed no signs
Of weakening.
The storm struck the city late in the
forenoon at velocity of 81 miles an
hour. At noon it had increased to 60
miles an hour and during the late aft
ernoon fuctuated to 60 and 70 miles
an hour, blowing in northeasterly d.
rection.
Wind Blows 70 Miles An Hour.
At s o'clock at night the highest
velocity was IS to 73 miles an hour
with occasional jets blowing as high
as 80 miles. The only damage thus
far caused was the destruction Of
window panes and insecure woodwork
on exposed buildings.
A heavy rain fell throughout the
day and at night the streets were fill
ed with water to the curbing.
At o'clock last night the barome-
ter stood at 20 fiat, having fallen from
1858 at noon.
No estimate as to the extent of the
storm in Galveston or the surrounding
country could be made by the weather
bureau owing to wire failure.
1t is estimated that 5000 persons
left Galveston during the last SO hours.
Practically all of the homes, espe-
cially those on the beach, had been
evacuated and the people were gath
cred in downtown hotels and public
buildings. The city was in darkness
because the wires of the lighting sys-
tenn were out of commission.

 DISCUSS PEACE
Expressions Show Distrust of Diplomatic Service,
 Which Seems "In Ba1."

Copenhagen, Jan. 30.--Careful!y worded articles on peace are appear ing in the newspapers all over Ger many. Many of them reflect distrust Of the German diplomatic service.
 The Base Neue Geudsaland says the German people themselves will demand the right to discuss the terms before the negotiations open.
 The Berliner Tagesblatte expresses the opinion that free discussion of the terms of peace should be delayed no longer.
 Ut will be very dangerous if free discussion is delayed too long," says the Tagesblatte. "or if attempts are made to prohibit it."
 The Gaglische Runaschau says:
 Matters which have cost such a heavy sacrifice in blood. money and property must not be settled D" clique of professional diplomatists The history of this war has siven professional diplomacy anything but credit"
 Similar views are expressed bI the Deusche Tages-Zeitung.
