WANTED TO SEE THE FINISH
Small Girl Did Not Consider That the
End of the Proceedings Had
Been Reached.

The short interval that elapsed be-
tween the visit of the little girl to a
commencement exercise and atten-
dance at an old-fashioned camp-meet-
ing may explain a remark that she
made at the religious event. She went
there with her grandmother, and, very
much interested in everything that oc-
CURED, asked numerous questions
which her grandparent attempted to
answer to the best of her ability.
who is that woman up there and
what is she doing?" asked the little
girl. referring to a woman who was on
her knees in the amen corner"
I don't know who she is, but she's
going to get religion" was the reply.
Some time elapsed and the womar,
remained on her knees. Finally, tho
grandmother of the little girl became
tired of the service and announced
that it was time to leave
J "Oh, let's not go yet" exclaimed her
grandchild. Let's wait and see 'em
give it to her."-Louisville Times.

HUNDREDS FLEE
FROM GALVESTON
Sea Wall Saves City Lashed by
Hurricane.
WIND BLOWS rs MILES HOUR
Texas Coast Towns Struck by Ter
rifle Wind and Rain Storm
No Lives Reported Lost in
Galveston.

Fl Worth, Tex, Aug. 18.-The Santa
Fe railroad reports that it is confirmed
that 100 feet of the causeway connect
ing Galveston with the mainland has
been washed out. The structure cost
100000. Work trains are being
rushed to Galveston.
Houston, Tex, Aug. 18.-With the
wind blowing Is miles an hour. water
filling the streets, the light and power
plant out of commission the people of
Galveston are fleeing from the city on
every train. Practically every town
along the Texas gulf coast reports sim
liar conditions. Although the actual
damage at this time is confined to
few houses blown over and no known
loss of life, the situation is growing
worse with such alarming rapidly
that fear of another disaster is eX-
pressed everywhere and all precau-
lions possible taken to meet disas-
ter.
The streets of Galveston are full OF
water and boats are running through
the streets carrying families to posi-
tons of better safety.
The water has not broken over the
sea wall, however, and the sea wall
has not been damaged. The water
backed into the streets from the low
er end of the island. The sea wall,
which once before, in 1909, stood
severe test of storm, is II feet high,
sloping and at some places is SO feet
wide, forming boulevard. The dis
aster of 1900 in which 5000 persons
lost their lives started in exactly the
same manner.
The manager of the Postal in leav-
ing his Office declared he would stay
no longer as he must leave to protect
his own family. A strict censorship
also has been established as the Gals
weston officials fear that false rumors
will be given out. While loss of life
may be caused it will not be due to
destruction of the big sea wall, for it's
wrecking is almost an impossibility as
it is built as part of the mainland.
Railroad Offices here report that
hundreds have fed to stations in an
effort to get out of the city.
The towns of Sabine and Sabine
Pass have been deserted as well as
Port Lavaca. Refugees say that 9TH
ers are trapped. Water is reported in
streets of every coast town from Cor
pus Christi to Orange.

TITTA RUFFO AND
LA MARSElLLASE"
Afternoon of Enthusiasm
at the Manhattan
Opera House.

The combination Of Titts Rufo with
the singing by Nine. Marguerite
Reritza of "The Marseillaise' brought
the Manhattan Opera House Yesterday
afternoon back to its DAYS OF almost
bvsterical enthusiasm. 1t was Slgnor
Ruffo's concert. and the great Italian
BARITONE. detained in the New World
bv the war. brought down the house
Nv his singing of the Cavatlna from
The Barber of Seville" the "Pagl lac
CT" Prologue. Mia Signorl' from
"Rigolotto" and the Brindlsi from
Hamlet" This was to have been ex-
pected. But It took a slender. black
haired. black eyed little woman. who
had only a few minutes before sung
the Carmen" Seguedills with but
trifing effect. TO bring the audience to
it's feet with wave after wave of cheers.
If the German Kaiser has vet any
doubts as 70 what side America has
taken he should have sent repre-
sentative to the Manhattan Yesterday.
The song that brought the audience to
its feet was not Deutschland Ober
Allies" it was LA Marseillalse.'
Nine. Marguerite Bertha, Of the
Boston Opera. was the young woman
who sang it. and the instant the or
chestra struck into the first bars the
house burst into spontaneous applause.
Then almost as one mass IT rose TO
its feet. and though during the sing
ing a portion of those standing sat
down. vet at the conclusion at least
half of the house was still standing.
The applause and cheers were deafen-
ing. and Nine. Bertha. evidently both
surprised and moved, then repeated
the last verse, which again was greete
with a storm OF applause. II was al
most as If the Manhattan. the old
house Of French opera. was herself
taking part in glorifying the land TO
which she owed her fame. II there
were any pro-Germans in Yesterday
audience they could have been dis
covered only Nth microscope.
SignA Rufo had never been in finer
voice nor in better spirits than he was
yesterday and the splendid acoustics
of Mr.. Hammerstein's old temple OF
song aided him immeasurably. What
pity it is that the Manhattan is no
longer dedicated to the operate muses.
the Metropolitan offers to its singers
and public no such grateful resonance
Signor Ruffo's reception was en-
thusiastic 10 a degree and his great
voice. brilliant. flexible and expressive,
he controlled in manner which re
minded one strongly Of the Caruso OF
earlier years. Faults Signor Rufo has;
He phrases according TO his whim, and
his tempos are sometimes his own. But
he is great singer and ne possesses
a great voice. Some have been I'M
kind enough to insist that he is a
tenor: and il is true that his lower
register is wanting. But in its middle
and especially its upper ranges It IS
a voice that has no rival on the stage
