has been issued for a meeting
of Southern newspaper women at
Greensboro, N. C., on Nov. 3, for the
purpose of organizing a Southern
Woman's Press Association. The
Southern Woman prints a list of over
fifty ladies who are connected with
Southern newspapers.
Nineteen years ago a man in Du
Bois,Pa., lost his voice so that he could
speak only in a whisper. A year ago
he hurt his arm and since then has
occasionally found relief from the pain
by placing it on a large driving belt
that generated considerable electrity.
Recently while doing so his voice sud­
denly and completely returned and
has since been good.

Alexander, was the favorite
nephew of the Empress Maria, mother

Empress left the Prince two million

the principal, preferring to draw the

Treasury. It is said the Prince now
demands the two millions, and that
the Czar declares he will never see a

There is a rumor circulating in Chi­

that under the terms of his contract
with Bliss Cleveland she could with­
draw Oct. 1st if she pleased or that she
might continue for five years. Mr. El­
der then went on to say .that Miss
Cleveland disliked newspaper gossip
that referred to her as the President's
sister. "Why." said he, "on one oc­
casion when I spoke of herin that way
in a circular, she telegraphed me that
every one of the circulars mnst be
burned at once, and I destroyed them.'
In conclusion Mr. Elder said: "All the
sympathy and encouragement that
she has received has, strange to say
been outside of Chicago, the home of
the magazine. -.With* one exception

venture to such ah intolerable degree
that she would scarcely desire to make

EVENTS OP THE WEEK.
October Storm.
The storm which ocurred on the 14th in­
flicted great disaster at numerous points.
At Chicago, the Western Union people
pronounced it the worst storm they had
encountered in Ave years, and for hours
the wires were useless. A number of build­
ings were wrecked and damaged and those
in process of erection razed lo the ground
by the fury of the gale, among others a
block of twenty two-story houses was
blown down. At Kaukee, 111., there was
great damage to buildings, shade trees and
crops the iron tower of. the water
company, 125 feet high was blown
over crushing a barn, buildings
were unroofed and everything
moveable was the sport of the wind. At
Odell, III., the Chicago ft Alton R. K. ele­
vator was unroofed and smoke-stack
blown down, shops, barns, fences and trees
were wrecked and blown about like puff
balls. At Streator, ill., church steeples,
stacks, chimneys sheds and fences were
wrecked and houses unroofed. At Racine,
Wis., trees, fences, lumber piles, signs and
awnings were wrecked and in the country
fanners stacks blown over the land. At Ly­
ons, la.,the smoke stacks of the Lyons Lum­
ber Co., and the Water Works Co., were
blown down and other damage done. At Pe­
ru, Ind., roofs were blown off and the town
greatly shattered. Fort Wayne, Ina., had
a disastrous visitation, many prominent
Monroevilie, Ind., a brick barn was blown
down and Mrs. S. SI. Williams, wife of the
owner killed. In the state of Michigan tele­
graph wires were generally down, and De­
troit trees, roofs, plate glass and electric
light-towers suffered. At Buffalo, N. Y.,
the gale was furious, the wind blowing 70
miles an hour, the water in the han or rose
several feet, railroad tracks were flooded,
plate glass windows broken, telegraph and
telephone wires becoming a general wreck,
The uncompleted music hall, costing
$200,000 was practically ruined, 15
to 20 bouses destroyed and an
aggregate loss inflicted beyond immediate
estimate. On all the lakes except Lake
Superior more or less damage occurred but
the crippled telegraph service renders de­
tails meager. Tne grain-laden schooner
Geo. M. Case, from Chicago to Buffalo,
went to the bottom of Lake Erie,3 miles off
Port Colborne, the captain and one of the
crew being drowned. Louisville, Ky., had
a touch of the storm, much damage being
done, and upon the river it was the rough­
est day known for years. In area and
damage the storm was almost without pre­
cedent, and th* total loss cannot now if
ever be known.
Wire Notes.
There were slight shocks of earthquake
at Charleston and Summerville at 4 a. m.,
on the 15th the windows rattled. The
New York committee of 100 have named
Theo. Roosevelt for mayor. A Boston
theatre manager refuses to allow the
Violet Cameron company to play at his
house. Ex-Go v. Hoadley delivered the
funeral oration at Music Hall, Cincinnati,
on the transfer of the remains of Chief
Justice Chase to Spring Grove Cemetery.
The receipts of the first week of the Edwin
Booth engagement at Chicago at $1.50 a
ticket were $2i,000: Hamlet was the
favorite play. Mrs. Sarah Howe of
Boston, who years ago swindled hundreds
of people in that city by means of a pri­
vate bank, and who has just been released
from prison, has gone back to her old
tricks again. Hon. Abram 8. Hewitt has
accepted the Tammany nomination
mayoralty of New York City with the
stipulation that the balance of the ticket
must be satisfactory to him. A man
living near Norristown, Pa., was caught
in a quicksand, and the utmost efforts of
his friends were barely sufficient to save
him after a 17. hours struggle. The cabinet
council at Ottawa has remitted one-half of
the $800 against the schooner Marlon
Grimes, and has sent a strong letter of
censure to Capt. Quigley. Although no
formal order to that effect has yet been
issued, the impression prevails at the war
department that Geronimo and fellow cap­
tive will shortly be removed from San An­
tonio, Tex., to Ft., Marion, Fia. Bayard
Putnam, chief of the government
topographical survey, committed suicide
by hanging at North Adams, Mass. Ver­
mont's request that the government pay
$66,890 to he as indemnity on the balance
due her for expenses during the late war,
is offset by tne auditor's books, which
show that the state owes Uncle Sam over
half a million.
Scraps
Mrs. Gen. Grant has received $150,000,
as a second payment of her share of the
profits on her late husband's memoirs.
The previous payment was $200,000 and
her publishers say she will probably re­
ceive $500,000 in ail. A limited edition de
luxe of the work is to be issued at $1 per
copy. Each copy will contain a sheet of
the original manuscript. Gen. Miles' of­
ficial report of the surrender Geroniomo
has been made public and shows that the
surrender was unconditional, that Miles
told him that he and his band must lay
down their arms and trust to the President
of the United States and thereupon?- Ger­
oniomo laid down his arms and surrender­
ed. The issue of standard silver dollars
from the mints .during the week endini
Oct. 8 was $934,883 during the same perioi
last of year, $1,064,744. The shipments of
fractional silver coin since Oct. 1 amount
to $268,289. The state department has re­
ceived a brief dispatch from the American
consul general in Canada confirmatory of
the reports touching the seizure on Satur­
day by the Canadian custom officer* of the
American schooner Marion Grimes, at
Shelburne. It is stated on good authority
that after filing his annual report, Secreta­
ry Manning will retire from the cabinent
termanently. It is rumored that Mr.
J*overret, of Louisiana, will succeed Su­
pervising Architect Bell. The justices of
the supreme court called upon the Presi­
dent Monday afternoon and were hand
soniely entertained. The Polish ix-habi
tants of Pittsburg are greatly excited over
the attempt to murder a prominent priest
who was shot at through the church win­
dow while officiating at the altar. The rel­
atives of Blind Tom, the musical prodigy,
are nvolved in a quarrel over the dead
man's money.

tion. Intense excitement was caused in
Pittsburgh by the announcement that the

Notes of a Day.
The father of Commissioner of Agricul­

ship from New Hampshire the Governor
appoints. Oberne,Hosick & Co.,soap manu­
factory at Chicago on the )2th was com
tely gutted by fire entailing a loss of
$80,000 insurance $60,000. Circumstances
point strongly to incendiarism. The New
York "booddle" a-dermen, out on bail,who
have nut ''skipped" to Canada have been
rearrested and will be made to give much
heavier bonds. Pbil Armour, the Chicago
pork packer, states that that city has lost

Indian Territory on Fire.
Late advices from the Indian Territory,
via Sherman, Texas, state that the most
destructive fires ever known in that Ter­

Millions of acres of rich grazing lands
which a few days ago were covered with
luxurious growth of grass are now barren
charred wastes. The area burned over
extends from Vinita on the north to Mus­
cogee on the south, and on either side of
the Missouri, Kansas & Tt xas Railroad as
far as the eye can see. Large numbers of
cattle have been burned to death, and
immense quantities of hay, baled and
loose, which was to have been used for
fodder during the winter, has been de­
stroyed, and cattlemen will be obliged to
drive their herds el89where to save them

The water in the town of Pointe La Hache,
in Placquemine parish, is several feet deep,
having been driven in from the gulf. Many

that it carried everything before it. The
levees, which along this section are very
low, were overflowed and swept away, and
the water rushed into the Mississippi river,
carrying with it all the rice stacked on the
farms in the vicinity of Pointe La Hache
and for a distance of twenty miles below.
A Terrible Death
At Mt. Sterling, 111., Mrs. Green well,
aged 70 years, left home Tuesday after­
noon to visit Mr. McWilliams, distant
about three-quarters of a mile. She
didn't return on Tuesday, but nothing
strange was thought of that. Anxiety
came when Wednesday morning did not
bring her, and search was made and after
a time the bones and pieces of her bloody
flesh were found surrounded by a drove of
hogs which were fighting over the remains
which were identified by scraps of clo
thing aB those of Mrs. Greenwell. It is
supposed that the old lady fainted, and
the nogs attacked her before she regained
consciousness.

Nelson was a powerful swimmer, but how
he managed to keep afloat for an hour
wonderful. Hie now lies fa a very pre­

the chances are in his favor for recovery.
Later—After some hours Mr. Nelson was
restored to consciousness, and then related
that he was alone in a boat fishing, and
heavy pull at his line caused him to rise to
his feet when he lost his balance and Ml in­

serious results are apprehended. The great
mystery of the case centers in the fact that

Who Shot Haddock?
It ia reported from Sioux City, la., that
the impression is gaining ground that Lea
vitt has not told the whole truth. Abra
ham Hess, a wood-dealer, states that be
was told by Geo. Treiber, one of the con­
spirators, now supposed to be in Germany,
thatLeavitt was the man who shot Had­
dock. Hess says that TTeiber came to him
and wanted him to help his wife get ready
to,leave town also, stating that if they
caught Leavitt he would swear it onto
either John Arensdorf or himself that at
the tiioe of the shooting Leavitt said to the
fellow who was hired to do the work, "You
are weakening. Now, give me the gun."
And Leavitt took ft and shot Haddock
himself. Whether Treiber told the truth
remains to be seen.
