Climbing Mountains.
Is a fascinating and invigor
ating pastime. It developes not
the body only, but the mind. The
Alpine Peaks of Switzerland have
their counterpart in our own
country, in the Sierras, the Cas
cades, and parts of the Rockies.
The greatest glacial peak of
the United States is Mt. Ranier
in Washington, more than 15,500
feet high. This magnificent
mountain has 15 or more giant
glaciers creeping down its sides
and discharging their glacial de
tritus into the Columbia river or
Puget Sound.
A climb to the summit of this
is a mountaineering feat worthy
of any mountaineer. For 25 centf

Injunction Against Talking.
No utiH in Omaha has yet been
restrained by injunction from
breathing, but the matter lias al
most reached that limit. The
most radical move was the issu
ing of an iiijuni tion to restrain a
woman who lived in a flat from
talking so much, as her landlord
claimed it drove his other tenants
away. Possibly wiy don't talk
too much, but we certainly all
are too active and lacking in re
pose. We need, almost without
exception, golden grain belt beer
to quiet our nerves and tone us
down to slower, more comfort

CUTTER LETS 00 WITH AIL GUNS
AMERICAN CAPTAIN WILL RE-
PORT AFFAIR TO STATE DE-
PARTMENT.
Erie, Pa., Aug. 14. The Silver
Spray, a fishing boat owned ere came
into port yesterday afternoon in a
badly battered condition due to an
encounter in mid-lake at noon with
the Canadian revenue cutter Petrel.
The Canadian authorities have had
trouble for years with American fish
ermen who were poaching on their
side of the lake, and the Petrel is
kept constantly on the look-out for
them.
At noon she came on the Silver
Spray on the Canadian side of t#e
lake, and at once ordered Capt. Cbrls
Chau to stop. The Petrel is a strong
steel craft, and it is said attempted to
ram the American boav before sht
could oomply with the Petrel's order.
Capt Ohau,
Remembering the Fate
of several other boats from this side
which had been captured and con
fiscated, two from Erie only last sea
son, decided to try to escape, and
started ahead at full speed.
The captain of the Petrel, when he
saw that the Silver Spray was trying
to get away, opened Are witht all his
guns, and before he ceased firing some
twenty shots had struck her. One
passed through the sir estack into
the pilot house in whic. Capt. Chau
stood at the wheel, and two more
struck the pilot house, one of which
came within a few inches of Chau.
scattering splinters around his head.
Two shots entered the water closet,
two pierced the cabin, two split the
roof, three swept the after hurricane
deck, while others hit various parts
of the boat.
Petrel Gives Up Pursuit.
The chase was kept up for some
time and Capt. Chau was nearly in
despair as nis cold water pump re
fused to work, and he feared that his
boat might be struck below the water
line. He finally crossed the interna
tional line and the Petrel gave up the
pursuit.
Capt. Chau will report the affair to
the state department at Washington,
as he says he was only looking for
some nets which had drifted from tnis
side toward the Canadian shore.
A large number of American fish
ing tugh have been confiscated by the
Canadian government, one. however,
belonging at Dunkirk, was only a lew
days ago ordered returned by Secre
tary of State Hay.

Bar Harbor, Me.. Aug. 14. While
leaving the harbor during a thick fog
I about noon yesterday in company with
other vessels of the North Atlantic
squadron, tue battleship Massachu

I by striking on the ledge of rocks off

i been cracked. The Massachusetts was

architect's office.

Hancock. Mich.. Aug. 14The dance

DENUDED Of CROPS
EASTERN PORTION OF|
ISLAND HAS BEEN
DEVASTATED.
Kingston, Jamaica. Aug. 14. The
effects of the hurricane oL^tJie Islaud
of Jamaica were greater than at first
believed. Port Antonio, on the north
coast, was overwhelmed. Only six
houses were left standing there. The
United Fruit company's wharves, of
ttces. hotel and plantations were utter
ly demolished. Five of tt company's
steamers, including the Sinaot Dumois,
Alfred Dumois and Brightoo, were
driven ashore but are lying in easy po
sitionB. Port Maria, another town on
the north coast, alao suffered sim
ilarly. The coaBt is strewn with
wreckage of local sailing vessels.
It is feared that the las* of life has
been heavy, thirty fatalities having al
ready been reported, principally
among seamen.
Village* Devastated.
The entire eastern end of the island
has been devastated. Villages have
been wiped out and public buildings
and churches demolished. Thousands
of the peasantry rendered homeless
and destitute are wandering about
seeking food and shelter. The de
struction of the banana plantations
has been complete and the fruit trade
is paralyzed for the next twelve
months. Hundreds of prosperous fruit
growers have been brought to bank
ruptcy and ruin.
The western end of the island
which it was at first supposed had es
caped) also buffered considerably,
though not to the extent which the
eastern did. New banana plantations
planted there were partly ditroyed
and the orange and coffee crops were
also injured.
The Norwegian steamer Salvadore
di Giorgii was driven ashore at An
notta Bay and lies in a dangerous po
sition. Several sailing
Vessels Were Wrecked
on the north side. It \3 still stormy
and threatening and there are fears
that there may be renewal of the
storm. Torrential rains have in
creased the misery of the poor and
homeless. Thousands of houses in
"Kingston were damaged, the wharves
were battered and several coasting
vessels were sunk in the harbor. Trade
is practically at a standstill.
The southeastern portions of the isl
and have been denuded of crops, the
rivers are flooded and many men have
been carried out to set) and drowned.
Considering the damage to property
during the hurricane, the loss of life
was comparatively small, though the
present estimate is that the death list
will reach fifty. Hundreds of persons
were injured and there were numerous
hair-breadth escapes. The property
loss is $10,000,000.
