"BIG"FLOODSJNCLEVELAND.
Immense Damage Done in tho
Ohio City.
PALATIAL HGMES IN WATER.
District Klght Miles lAtng and a Mil
and a llulf Wide la Devastated
Citizen ltvacued In Ituats Lot Esti
mated at 81,000, 000.
Cleveland, Sept. 3. Angry floods
swept over a district eight miles long
.and a mile and a half wide In the best
part of this city yesterday afternoon
and last night, doing immense dam
ago to property. The deluge was due
to unprecedented rainfall, accompanied
by a cloud-burst. The precipitation
was the greatest In tho history of the
city, amounting to 4.28 inches In four
teen hours. Last night, after a brief
respite, rain began falling again, and
further damage is feared. Costly res
idences in the fashionable quarter were
speedily inundated, and the panic
stricken occupants were taken out In
boats. Not only were the living driv
en from their homes, but the turbulent
waters ravaged two cemeteries, tear
ing out the coffins and tossing them
and their contents into the wreckage,
which represents a property loss of
$1,000,000. Streets, bridges, railway
lines, telegraph and telephone poles
fell before the terrific onslaught. Beau
tiful parks have been devastated,
churches and residences undermined,
flooded and filled with debris of every
conceivable sort. It seems marvelous
that no lives were lost. Hundreds of
residents who were Imprisoned in their
beautiful homes like stranded island
ers, were almost panic-stricken, ex
pecting to bo called upon to wade out
Into the swirling waters at almost any
minute. Danger signals were flashed
about the city as speedily as the dis
abled telephono system would allow,
and the work of rescue commenced.
Row boats plied back and forth, as
sisting whole families from perilous
positions, but these proved pitifully
inadequate, and it was soon found nec
essary to go to the extraordinary pre
caution of callli'2 on the life-saving
crew from the river, a distance of sev
en miles. The lifeboats were quickly
loaded on theatrical scenery wagons
and hurried to the scene of destruc
tion. The torrent surged with awful
force for hours In Deering street from
Fairmount to the boulevard, and over
a dozen families were penned in like
rats in a trap, with water five and six
feet deep surrounding their homes. At
this point the life-saving crew worked
valiantly and, assisted by squads of
firemen and policemen, finally succeed
ed In landing the terror-stricken peo
ple In placc3 of safety. Tho fear was
greatly enhanced by the momentary j
expectation that the great Shaker
Heights dam would break loose and
belch forth terrible destruction. Tctrie
street, the eole means of transporta
tion between the Folish settlement of
5,000 families and the remainder of the
city, is half washed away, having
caved into Morgan Run. It will take
5,000 loads of dirt to fill the hole in the
street. Two cemeteries were torn up
by the floods that swept through them.
Coffins were disinterred and floated
about on the muddy water with their
silent occupants. Boys on rafts and
boats towed them about without think
ing what they were. The total loss Is
estimated at $1,000,000.
BEAN FAMINE ON IN BOSTON.
l-'avorlle Food of the Hub Is Scarce and
Price Double.
Boston, Mass., Sept. 3. Many B03
tonians did not enjoy their customary
repast of beans today, because the
-scarcity of this staple food amounted
to almost a famine. About 400,000
bushels of beans are annually con
sumed In Boston, and not In twenty
years has the price exceeded $1.50 a
bushel. Now, however, owing to a
short crop in New York, Michigan,
California and Canada last year, the
supply is nearly exhausted and the
price has jumped to $3 a bushel and
Is still soaring. The California crop
this year is reported to be large and
when It come3 In the. price of beans
is expected to go back to about nor
mal. Meantime beans are a luxury In
hotels and cafes.

GAMBLING LOSS IS DENIED.
Millionaire Gates Ilrpudltitea fritory Com
ing from Alx-le-llain.
London, Sept. 2. John W. Gates of
Chirrigo, who arrived In London
Thursday from Alx Les Balnes, was
asked what truth there was in the
story that he had discovered a bank
cheating him out of $150,000.
"I never heard of the story," said
Mr. Gates.
"But it was in all the Ixndon pa
pers," he was Informed.
"I can't help that," said Mr. Gates.
"What the London papers or the Am
erican papers print Is not a concern of
mine. I have $500,000 to give to char
ity If any one can show Ave consecu
tive newspaper paragraphs mentioning
my name that are correct. I think
such a thing an impossibility."
"If you want an item of news, I
have just received a cablegram that
the steel strike is all settled," Mr.
Gates continued. "Tho Chicago roll
ing mills were never Involved, as the
men did not go out, but I am now in
formed the whole strike Is settled."
Mr. Gates will stay In London some
weeks.
The story was that Mr. Gates while
playing "open bank" at Alx Les
Baines, had seen a fan lightly held in
a fair hand, carelessly fall down on
the table and push some coins, over
the white line.
Mr. Gates had seen, too, a croupier,
possibly carried away by the general
excitement of the moment, push
across 2,000 francs ($400) to a certain
player, where he should have paid 200
francs ($40); and it was by no means
the first time that similar mistakes
had occurred.
Early on the following morning Mr.
Gates left Paris, but not before he had
an Interview with those responsib!e for
the management of the cardrooms.
These gentlemen, it is stated, asked
Mr. Gates if anything in the nature
of the play had not been to his satis
faction to leave hi3 account with
the Caisse open. It was a trifle of
some 80,000 francs ($1C,000). Mr.
Gates' answer was short and to th?
point.
"I do not care a red cent for the
money," he explained, "but I prefer to
play with well with men who play
the game." Then he filled a check for
the amount debited against him.

Millionaire in Odd IMIsjTit.
Paris, Sept. 3. Charles Vaughan, a
millionaire, 26 years old, was noticed
wandering in evening dress In the
roughest quarter of Paris, occasion
ally seating himself cn the edge of the
pavement and holding his head in
both hands, evidently struggling hard
to kill his thoughts. Some policemen,
observing his queer movements, ques
tioned him and found that he had
completely forgotten his name, ad
dress, whether he was wealthy or poor,
married or single. Eight months ago
Vaughan married Janice Merivale, a
New York girl who Is now visiting
relatives In Washington.

councillor of the French embassy, has
received from the Porte a copy of a
telegram sent the Ottoman embassy

TALMAGE'S SEEMON.
A TALK FULL OF THE SUMMER
SPIRIT.
"Go Forth Unto the Mount and Fetch
Olive Itranches and Fine Brunches and
Myrtle Branches and Palm Branches
to Make Booths." Neh. 8:15.
Copyright, 1901, by Louis Klopsch. N. Y.
Washington, Sept. 1. This discourse
of Dr. Talmage Is full of the breath of
the hills and fields and is a summer
sermon; text, Nehemiah viil, 15, "Go
forth unto tho mount and fetch olive
branches and pine branches and
myrtle branches and palm branches
and branches of thick trees to make
booths."
It seems as If Mount Olivet were un
moored. Tho people have gone Into
the mountain and have cut off tree
branches and put them on their shoul
ders, and they come forth now into
tho streets of Jerusalem and on the
house tops, and they twist these tree
branches Into arbors or booths. Then
the people come forth from their com
fortable homes and dwell for ssven
days In these booths or arbors. Why
do they do that? Well. It Is a great
festal time. It Is the feast of taber
nacles, and these people are going to
celebrate the desert travel of their
fathers and their deliverance from
their troubles, the experience of their
fathers when, traveling in the desert,
they lived in booths on their way to
the land of Canaan. And so these
booths a!so became highly suggestive (
I will not say they are necessarily
typical, but highly suggestive of our
march toward heaven and of the fact
that we are only living temporarily
here, as It were, in booths or arbors,
on our way to the Canaan of eternal
rest. And what was said to the Jews
literally may be said figuratively to
all this audience. Go forth unto the
mountain and fetch olive branches and
pine banches and myrtle branches
and palm branches and branches of
thick trees to make booths.
We Need Ollre Branches.
Now, if we are today going to suc
ceed in building this gospel arbor we
must go into the mount of God's
blessing and fetch the olive branches,
and whatever else we must have we
must have at least two olive branches,
peace with God and peace with man.
When I say peace with God, I do not
mean to represent Gcd as an angry
chieftain, having a grudge against us,
but I do mean to affirm that there is
no more antagonism between a hound
and a hare, between a hawk and a
pullet, between elephant and swine,
than there is hostility between holi
ness and sin. And If God 13 all holi
ness and we arc all sin there must be
a treats', there must be a stretching
forth of olive branches.
There Is a great lawsuit going on
now, and it is a lawsuit which man is
bringing against hii Maker. That law
suit is now on the calendar. It is tho
human versus the divine, it i3 Iniquity
versus the imaculate, it is weakness
versus cmnipctence. Man began it.
God did not begin the lawsuit. We b?
gan It. We assaulted our Maker, and
the sooner we end this part of the
struggle, In wkica 1't.e finite attempts
to overthrow i'&e Infinite and omnipo
tentthe sooner we end It the better.
Travelers tell us there is no such place
as Mount Calvary, that it is only a
hill, only an Insignificant hill, but I
persist in calling It the mount of God's
divine mercy and love far grander
than any other place on earth, grander
than the Alps or the Himalayas, and
there are no other hills as compared
with It, and I have noticed In every
Eect where the cross of Christ Is set
forth It Is planted with olive branches.
And all we have to do Is to get rid of
this war between God and ourselves,
of which we are all tired. We want
to back out of the war, wo want to
get rid of this hostility. All we have
to do Is Just to get up on the mount
of God's blessing and pluck these olive
branches and wave them before the
throne. Peace through our Lord Jesus
Christ!
Health for Mind and Soul.
But my text goes further. It says,
"Go up Into the mountain and fetch
olive branches and pine branches."
Now, what is suggested by the pine
branch? The pine tree U healthy. It
Is aromatic. It Is evergreen. How
often the physician says to his Invalid
patients: "Go and have a breath of
the pines. That will Invigorate you."
Why do such thousands of people go
south every year? It Is not merely to
go to a warmer climate, but to get the
influence of the pine. There Is health
in it, and this pine branch of the text
suggests tho helpfulness of our holy
religion. It is full of health health
for all, health for the mind, health for
the soul. I knew an aged man who
had no capital of physical health. He
had had all the diseases you could Im
agine. He did not eat enough to keep
a child alive. He lived on a beverage
of hosannas. He lived high, for he
dined every day with the King. Ho
was kept alive simply by the force of
our holy religion. It Is a healthy re
ligionhealthy for the eye. healltiy
for tho hands, healthy for
the feet, healthy for the heart,
healthy for tho liver, healthy for the
spleen, healthy for the whole man. It
gives a man such peace, such quiet
ness, such Independence of circum
stances, such holy equipoise. Oh, that
we all possessed It, that we poaseRsed
It now! I mean It Is healthy If a man
gets enough of It. Now, there are
some people who get Just enough re
ligion to bother them, Just enough re
ligion to make them sick, but If a
man takes a full, deep, round Inhala
tion of these pine branches of the gos
pel arbor he will find It buoyant, ex
uberant, undying, Immortal health.
But this evergreen of my text also
suggests the simple fact that religion
is evergreen. What does the pine
branch care for the snow on its brow?
It Is only a crown of glory. The win
ter cannot freeze It out. This ever
green tree branch is as beautiful in
winter as it Is in the summer. And
that is the characteristic of our holy
religion. In the sharpest, coldest win
ter of misfortune and disaster It is as
good a religion as it is In the bright
summer sunshine. Well, now, that Is
a practical truth. For suppose if I
should go up and down these aisles
I would not find in this house fifty
people who had had no trouble. But
there are some of you who have es
pecial trouble. God only knows what
you go through with. Oh, how many
bereavements, how many poverties,
how many persecutions, how many
misrepresentations! And now, my
brother, you have tried everything
else, why do you not try this ever
green religion? It is Just as good for
you now as It was in the day of pros
perity. It is better for you. Perhaps
some of you feel almost like Muckle
Backie, the fisherman, who was chided
one day because he kept on working,
although that very day he buried his
child. They came to him and said,
"It is Indecent for you to be mending
that boat when this afternoon you
buried your child." And the fisherman
looked up and said, "Sir, it Is very
easy for you gentlefolks to stay In the
house with your handkerchief to your
eyes in grief; but, sir, ought I to let
the other five children starve because
one of them is drowned? No, sir. We
maun work, we maun work, though
our hearts beat like thi3 hammer."
The Significance of the Palm.
But my text takes a step further,
and it says, Go Into the mountain and
fetch olive branches and pine branches
and palm branches. Now, the palm
tree waa very much honored by the
ancients. It had 3G0 different uses.
The fruit was conserved, tho sap was
a beverage, the stem3 were ground up
for food for camels. The br.se of the
leaves was turned into hats and mats
and baskets, and from the root to the
top of the highest leaf there was use
fulness. The tree grew 85 feet in
height sometimes, end it spread leaves
four and five feet long. It meant use
fulness, and it meant victory useful
ness for what it produced and victory
because it was brought Into celebra
tions of triumph. And oh, how much
we want the palm branches In tho
churches of Jesus Christ at this time!
A great many Christians do not
amount to anything. You have to
shove them oft! the track to let the
Lord's chariots come along.
I know the old plan was, the plan
now is, in regard to worldly invest
mentsyou hear it, merchants tell you
do not put everything Into one thing,
do not put all your eggs Into one
basket. But I have to teil you in this
matter of religion you had better give
your all to God and then get in your
self. Oh, says some one. "My brisl
nes3 Is to sell silks and cloths." Well,
then, my brother, sell silks and cloths
Ui the glory of God. And some one
say3. "My bi'.firess Is to raise corn and
carrots." Then, my brother, raise
corn and carrot3 to the glory of God.
And some one cay3, "My business is
to manufacture horseshoe nails." Then
manufacture horseshoe nails to the
glory of God. There Is nothing for you
to do that you ought to do but for the
glory of God.
The Victory Over Satan.
But the palm branch alio meant vic
tory. You all know that. In all ages,
in all lands, the palm branch means
victory. Well, now, we are by nature
the servants of satan. He stole us,
he has his eye on us, ho wants to keep
us. But word come3 from our Father
that if we will try to break loose from
this doing of wrong our Father will
help us, and some day we rouse up,
and we look the black tyrant in the
face, and we fly at him, and we wrestle
hlra down, and we put our heel on his
neck, and we grind him In the dust,
and we say, "Victory, victory, through
our Lord Jesus Christ!" Oh what a
grand thing it is to have sin under
foot and a wasted life behind our
backs. "Blessed Is he whoso trans
gression Is forgiven and rhose sin i3
covered."
Some one says "How about the in
ture?" What, says the man, I feel so
sick and worn out with the ailments
of life. You are going to be more
than conqueror. But, says the man, I
am so tempted, I am so pursued In
Hie. You are going to be more than
conqueror. I, who have so many ail
ments and heartaches," going to be
more than conqueror? Yes. unless
you are so self conceited that you
want to manage all the affairs of your
life yourself Instead of letting God
manage them. Do you want to drive
and have God take a back seat? "Oh
no," you say, "I want God to be my
leader." Well, then, you will be more
than conqueror. Your last sickness
will come, and the physicians in the
next room will be talking about what
they will do for you. What difference
will it make what they do for you?
You are going to be well, everlastingly
well. And when the spirit has fled
the body, your friends will be talking
as to where they shall bury you.
Wrhat difference does it make to you,
where they bury you? The angel of
tho resurrection can pick you out of
the dust anywhere, and all the ceme
teries of the earth are in God's care.
Oh, you are going to be more than
conqueror.
Finishing the Arbor.
My text brings us one 6tep further.
It says, "Go forth into the mount and
fetch olive branches and pine branches
and myrtle branches and palm
branches and branches of thick trees."
Now, you know very well I make this
remark under the head of branches of
thick trees that a booth or arbor mado
of slight branches would not stand.
The first blast of the tempest would
prostrate It. So then the booth or
arbor must have four stout poled to
hold up the arbor or booth, and hence
for the building of the arbor for this
world we must have stout branches of
thick trees. And so It is In the gos
pel arbor. Blessed be God that we have
a brawny Christianity, not one easily
upset. The storms of life will come
upon us, and we want strong doctrine;
not only love, but Justice; not only
Invitation, but warning. It is a
mighty gospel; It is an omnipotent
gospel. These are the stout branches
cf thick trees.
I remember what Mr. Finney said
In a schoolhouse. The village was bo
bad it was called Sodom, and it was
said to have only one good man in all
the village, and he was called Lot,
and Mr. Finney was preaching in the
school house, and he described the de
struction of Sodom, how the city was
going to be destroyed unless they re
pented and that there would be rain
from heaven of sorrow and destruc
tion unless they, too, repented. And
the people in the school house sat and
ground their teeth In anger and clinch
ed their fists in anger, but before he
got through with his sermon they got
down on their knees and cried for
mercy while mercy could be found. Oh,
It is a mighty gospel; not only an In
vitation, but a warning, an omnipotent
truth, stout branches of thick trees.
Well, my friends, you see I have
omitted one or two point3 not be
cause I forgot to present them, but
uecuuse 1 nave noi ume 10 present 1
them. I have shown you here is the
olive branch of peace, here Is the pine
branch of evergreen gospel consola
tion, here the palm tree branch of use
fulness and of victory, and here are
tho stout branches of thick trees. The
gospel arbor is done. The air Is
aromatic of heaven. The leaves rustle
with the gladness of God. Come into
the arbor. Come into the booth. I
went out at different times with a
fowler to the mountains to catch
pigeons, and we made our booth, and
we Bat in that booth and watched for
the pigeons to come. And we found
flocks In the sky, and after awhile they
dropped into the net, and we were suc
cessful. So I come now to the door
of this gospel booth. I look out. I
see flocks of souls flying hither and
flying thither. Oh, that they might
come like clouds and as doves to the
window. Come into the booth. Come
Into the booth.
NOTED WOMAN SUFFRAGIST.
On. Cusnlns M. Clay's Daughter Has
Done Much for Her Sex In Kentucky.
Within the past twelve years Miss
Laura Clay, woman suffragist and
daughter of the famous old Whitehall
general, Cassius M. Clay, has revolu
tionized the position of women in Ken
tucky. She i3 the president and found
er of the Equal Rights Association of
Kentucky and under her leadership
wonders have been accomplished. She
is a mild-mannered, blue-eyed, round
faced little woman of pleating address,
but in pertinacity and vigorous intel
lect she is her noted father's daughter.
From girlhood she has been a stanch
advocate of the Idea that commercial
ly, legally, professionally and politi
cally, woman is and should be recog
nized as the equal of man. In 1SS8 she
began the serious battle for this idaa.
She was chosen president of the Stato
Equal Rights Association In that year
and appeared in Frankfort with cer
tain bills which the association wished
to havo passed. At first politicians
laughed the matter away, but ere long
they found occasion to review their
opinion of the equal rights propaganda.
They passed some of the bills and
thought that ended the matter, but the
next session found the women lobby
ing as actively as ever. Bills were
passed going a step further, and now
the committee from the Equal Rights
Association is one of the fixtures at
Frankfort.
SAW THE POINT.
Director of a Railroad the Victim of an
Employe's Sarcasm.
A railway director, who can take a
joke as well as he can give one, is the
good-natured subject of the following
story: One of the employes of the
road made application to him for a
pass, In order that he might go home
to visit his family.
"You are In our employ?" asked the
director.
"Yes, sir."
"And you receive your pay regular
ly?" "I do."
"Well, let us suppose that you were
working for a farmer. Would you ex
pect your employer to take out his
horses every Saturday night and drive
you home?"
"No, sir," answered the man, with
out a moment's hesitation. "I should
hardly expect him to do that; but if
the farmer had his horses out and was
going my way, I should think he was
a pretty mean man If he refused to
give me a lift."
And the more the director thought
of it, the more it seemed to him that
his question had been very satisfac
torily answered. The man got the
pass.
A Twlnnlsh Family.
Mrs. James Little, who lives neat
Atchison, Kan., who was herself a
twin and the son of a twin, has given
birth to her second pair of twins, the
first pair being about IS months old
when the second pair made its appear
ance. The acme of perfection would coon
bo reached if people would only follow
the advice they give to others.
Whlto girls in the South find great
difficulty In obtaining places of domes
tic service. While it Is admitted that
the vocation is highly honorable, it is
claimed that the colored servants are
belter trained and more competent.
AMEarC.'S HOTTEST PLACE.
The Heat of the Death Valley Exceed
That of Other Spots.
The hottest place In the United
States, so far as the official records go.
Is In the famous Death Valley, in
southern California, a dead sea gorge
without the sea. The valley is narrow,
only a few miles In width, but about
130 in length. It lies 400 feet below the
bottom of the sea, and Its bottom Is
covered with a sheet of salt, white and
glittering In the Bun. The Amargosa
river, although usually Its bed is dry,
traverses a large desert tract In south
ern Nevada, flows to the south, when It
flows at all, and ends In the Valley of
Death, the northern portion of which
gradually rises to the level of the eur
rounding deserts, so that the physical
geography of the valley closely re
sembles that of the Dead sea, great Salt
lake, and other Inland bodies of water
having no outlet. In 1891 a scientifio
expedition was sent to tho valley by
tne government, and for five months
a weather station was maintained in
the valley for the purpose of observing
the prevailing conditions. What they
were may be best understood from the
statement that for the entire month of
July the average temperature for both
day and night was 102 degrees, while
an almost uniform record of 122 de
grees was maintained during the day
light hours.
A Happy Boy
Oldenburg, 111., Sept. 2d: The doc
tors all failed In the case of little thirteen-year-old
Willie Kell, who suffered
with acute Rheumatism.
For over three months the- poor little
fellow suffered excruciating torture.
His father, who had done everything he
could think of, saw a new Rheumatism
Remedy advertised Dodd's Kidney
Pills. He bought some, and soon his
little son showed sign3 of improvement.
Three boxes cured him completely, ana
he has not a symptom of Rheumatism
left.

had been given up by the physicians
has electrified Madison County, and

llcnltli Comiuunduicnts,
The requirements cf health can be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
They are good air, good food, suitable
clothing, cleanliness and exercise and
rest. The first two requirements affect
the blood, and as the blood circulates
all over the body, including the brain,
every part Is affected. Fresh air af
fects the purity of the blood. The
freshest air i3 out of doors, and it la
the duty of every one who wishes to be
in good health to spend a certiin
amount of time in the open air. Good
food Is not necessarily expensive food.
Exercise and rest should alternate and
balance each other. It is quite possi
ble to take too much exercise, and this
side of the question must be guarded
against a3 carefully as the other.
