THE LUTHERAN VISITOR.
The century memorial number of the
Lutheran Visitor, of August 30th, is on
our table. It is a handsome publication
of thirty-six liages, all devoted in setting
forth tho claims of thc Theological Semi
nary of the United Synod, located at
Mount Pleasant, Charleston. The pur
pose is to raise at least $30,000 as a
twentieth century memorial seminary
endowmont. This institution has strong
claims upon all Lutherans.
In reading of the life and work of the
former presidents and professors, in
both tho Seminary and Newberry Col
loge, wc were impressed especially with
the following extract from the diary of
tho late Dr. J. P. Smeltzer, of precious
memory :
On November 28, IS0S, there is this
pathetic entry, eloquent of the faithful
ness] endurance and self-denial Of Dr,
Smeltzor: "This day wo left Newberry
in company of students for Walhalla, our
future home. For the last few years the
college at Newberry was gradually dying?
It was impossible to continue tho insti
tution there. A debt and lawsuits pro
hibit it. Since tho war l supported my
family by baking bread. I could not
have lived in Newberry without an in
come besides my salary. This business
of baking bread I commenced w hen Lee
Surrendered and the IroOps were lodged
in college, and continued lo the present
removal. I not only realized a comfor
table living, but gave my family some ot
the luxuries of life, lt was indeed Hy
ing to rise at I, and make up my bread
and fix it for the oven, and then at '.'
enter the school room and teach till 12,
and then at continue teaching till .">.
and then after tea study mid write and
make serm?n till ll. Thus day after
day was employed preparing foi lie
class, for tho Thursday evening lecture
and for two serinons oil the Sabbath."

Millions of Eggs Stored.
CHI? AOO, September lo.-six hundred

on all sides. Thc speculators dropped
nearly $57,000 on eggs alone. This yoi?i
Swift and Armour have been active in

FIVE THOUSAND LIVES ?M
GALVESTON, TEXAS, STRUCK BY WEST
INDIA STORM-THE PROPERTY DAMAGED
Bodies Float in the Streets and Buildings
Crumble and Fail-Terrible Situation.
DALLAS, TEA AS, September IO.-Hous
ton and Central Texas Railroad officials
at noon received bulletins from their
general offices in Houston, that tito loss
of life from tho great storm will reach
three thousand in Calveston. Tho Mis
souri, Kansas and Toxas relief forces
near Calveston and along tho coast tele
graphed at noon that tho loss of lifo will
not bo less than Ovo thousand, and may
icach ten thousand.
CALVESTON, TKXAS, Soptcmbor io.
Tho most appalling calamity in thc his
tory of modern times lias befallen Gal
veston. Everywhere thoro is death and
ruin and desolation. A great commer
cial city is stricken with misfortune and
her peoplo appeal to tho outsldo world
for help.
Estimates of tho loss of lifo in tho
city vary from OOO to 1,000. It is thought
2.500 peoplo'.in tho State havo lost their
lives. 1'arcnts mourn their children and
children aie made orphans by tho terri
ble hurricane which swept all of South
Texas Saturday and Saturday night.
The damage to business and resident e
property is beyond computation. Tho
city Is almost ruined. Tito wharf froid
is entirely gone. Every ocean steamer
is stranded. Tho lino steamer Alamo
lies upon the top of thc Mallory wharf,
and a big English eotton-laden steamer
was driven ashore at Texas City. Other
vessels are agrouud in difforont parts of
tho bay, some hopelessly wrecked. Thc
tug Louise, of the Houston Direct Navi
gation Company, is under water at Koa
fish. Two of the crow wore drowned,
tho remainder escaping in tho lifeboat.
No pon can depict Ol' languagoadequately
describe tho awfulness of tho situation,
lt is simply immense, unparalleled. A
boat was chartered to run to Texas City,
and on this the Houston Host correspon
dent had to hurriedly depart. From
what he saw during Saturday and heard ;
from some of tho leading business mon, ;
he can assure thc public that they need
immediate relief. Tho object ill send
ing to Texas City was to got into touch
with tho outside world and lot it know ,
that a stricken city is in misfortune and
ask the peoplo of the country to send
food and clothing and water. The water
works aro in ruins and tho cisterns all
blown away, so that tho lack of water
is one of tho most serious of tho present
t roubles.
Debris is everywhere. Electric light
and telegraph p des are nearly all pros
trated, and the streets aro littered with
timbers, slate, glass and every conceiva
ble character of debris. There is hardly
a habitable house in thc entire city and
lustily every business hoUSO is badly
damaged. The school buildings aro un
roofed, such edifices as the Hall High
School and Rosenburg school buildings
heine badly wrecked. The line churches
are almost in ruins. Tho elevators and
warehouses arc unfit for uso, tho dec
trie light plant has collapsed and so has
the cotton factory.
LOOOS IN THE S To lt Ks.
From Tremont to P Street, thenco to
tho bondi not a vestige of a resilience is
to be seen.
lu the business section of the city thc
water was from :'. to infect deep 111 stores
and stocks Of all kinds, including food
stuffs, are total losses. Men in newspa
per life are used to hallowing scones,
luit tho oxporlonco of news-gatherers on
this fatal Saturday night beggars descrip
tion. In making the rounds it was noth
ing lo seo women and children emerging
from comfortable and happy homes dazed
and bleeding from wounds, the women
Wilding neck deep with babies in their
arms. To ad i. if possible, to tho ca
lamity, thc city is cut oil entirely from
the world. The telegraph lines arc down
and th? cabio which connects Calveston
with Mexico is eut.
At Texas City the wharves aro des
troyed and the waterfront fora mile is
litteied with thc ruins and much of tho
debris blown thoro from Galveston. At
lix as City throe lives were lost.
The Storni commenced raging between
0 and lo o'clock Saturday morning, and !
by noon the waters from thc gulf had I
inundated the island as far inland asl
Twelfth street. From there the waters
gradually encroached further inland, ris
ing about Hf toon inches an hour. At 0
p. m. there was thirty-six inches of water I
in the lobbies of the Tremont hotel, thc
highest point in thc city. After that it I
gradually receded, but the wind was
cyclonic in its force, lt roached a voloc
1 ty of eighty-four miles an hour and then i
the instruments in the government ob
servatory W ere wrecked.
HO A 1 - I X THE STUEETS.
In the streets the wires were down,
telegraph and telephone' poles falling,
slate and glass and timi tor living through
the air. How people could livo through
it all is a myslory, yet no casualties are
directly credited to accidents in tho
streets. At times people would sail
rapidly by in boats and colliding with
some obstruction would be painfully in
jured. Dr. s. C. Y ung, secretary of
tho cotton exchange, was driven from!
his home. He mounted a hoard and was I
whirled with terrille velocity toward the |
bay. striking some obstruct ion he was
severely cut and bruised about the head !
and face, besides receiving bodily in
juries,
Dr. West, one of the most prominent ;
physicians of Galveston, was drowned
mar the Rosen burg school building.
As soon ns daylight caine and thc fury'
of die wind had abated, the work of
rescuing and scare bing for tho dead
commenced. In one room tho Host re
poi lei counted seven dead bodies.
The Tremont hotel was couverte i into
a lench /.vous tor the living. Tho women
and childi cn slept in tho dining rooms
and parlors and the men lay oil thc linois
ami in the hallways.

it packed with injured. Tho provisions
in tho storo had been ruined, and thero
was nothing for tho numerous customers
who carno hungry and tired. Tho place

swelling rapidly. Fifteen men constitu

of people All windows in the building
?ind a portion of thc wall at the top was
blown in and thc occupants expected

Tho greatest interest is felt in to-mor

brought forward to discontinue buying
American spot cotton. ?Since tho an
nouncement was mado that such a con
ference would ho held there has been
such a rush upon smaller stocks of cot
ton in the bands of Liverpool brokers
that to day's sales advanced from :),(KK)
lo 15,000 bales, with tho result that not
more than 100,000 bales aro left.
Cotton has not been so scarce before
since the days of tho American ci vd war.

MANCHA ST Kit. ENO., Soptombor 7.--At
tl mooting of the cotton spinners hero
to-day it was decided, practically unani
mously, not to purchase American spot
cotton during the month of September. !
Four-fifths of tho employers in the trade [
were represented, lt is anticipated that
the decision will lead to tho closure of
scores of mills for several weeks. Only
Ihrec manufacturers opposed tho resolu
tion and their objection was that it was
not strong enough and that it should
bind tho trade to stop the consumption
nf cotton and not morely to stop pur
fthnsihg it. The meeting was private,
hut it was ascertained that during the
discussions there was sharp criticism of
die Liverpool speculators who, it was
declared, made tue crisis worse hy gamb
ling. Eventually tho meeting adjourned
until Soptombor 'Jlst, when tho situation
will bo again considered.

ls made.
A certain amount of flesh it
necessary for health; if you have
not got it you cart get it by
geoirs ptuision
You will find it just aj useful in jummer
.is in winter, and If you arc thriving upon
