was asked by the late James C. Carter,

submitted It was observed by Mr. Cut

f a neophyte, the young Southeruer
bad begun with the expression, "I am

When this caught bis eye be smiled
and said:
"My dear young friend, never state
that you are clearly of opinion on a

discover Is the preponderance of the
doubt" Success.

Hundred, perhaps thousands, of
lives have been lost In a terrific hurri
cane which swept from the coast of
Venezuela on the south to tin Florida
coast on the north, and which raged
200 miles out on the Atlantic ocean.
So far as known the greatest loss of
life was oft the Florida coast. At
Klliott Key n great tidal wave Inun
dated the Island. The 250 Inhabitants
were swept Into the sea. From appar
ently reliable reports received the dev
astation on Klliott Key was complete,
every living being perishing In the
flood.
A barge containing 100 refugees from
a neighboring key. which had anchored
In the Ice of Klliott Island, was struck
by the tidal wave and swept out to sea.
Fifty of those on hoard were either
swept Into the sea or killed by the
fon'e of the wave. The survivors were
carried on the crest of the wave far
out and were picked up late yesterday
ofT the p.iihania Islands. Many cf the
survivors were In a serious state as
the result of their experience and some
may die.
The extension steamer St. I.uele,
which plies between one of the keys
and Miami, was caught In the storm
and sought the lee of Klliott key to
ride It out. The St. Uncle was caught
In the tidal wave which swept over
the key and driven ashore, with the
loss of twenty-eight persons and the
wounding of n iiuiiiImt of others.
Northern Cuba, especially the prov
inces of Havana nnd Plnar del Rio,
felt the full force of the hurricane
which raged there for over twenty
hours, the wind at one time attaining
a velocity of 120 miles an hour. Great
damage was doue in the city of Havana
and to the shipping in the harbor nnd
twenty lives were lost by tho collapse
of houses.
In the republic of San Salvador
many lives were lost in a terrific storm
which raged over the country for ten

The Chinese Reform Killct.
Since the publication of the imperial
fdict, which commits the Chinese govern
ment to a modernizing policy of the laws,
otlicials of all classes have taken a hand
It the new movement. Forecasting by lot
any of the temples has been prohibited
by the chief of police of the inner city of
Pekin, and Viceroy Tunn Shir Kai h.;s
slopped the celebration of t'ae Haulu fes
tival on the ground of extravagance. The
commission, which recently visited Europe
and America, has asked die empress dow
ager to remove the eunuchs from the pal
ace on account of their evil influence. The
constitutional government is to be estab
lished as soon as the public mind can b
prepared for it. In the text of the im
perisl ediet occurs the following naive
passages: "Since tho beginning of our dy
nasty, there have been wise emperors,
who have made laws suited to the times.
Now that China has Intercourse with all
nations, our laws anil political system
have become antiquated, and our country
Is always in trouble. Therefore it is
necessary for us to gather more knowledge
and draw up a new code of laws: other

CHURCHES MAY RUN DANCES.
DriUril In Omaha as a Means nt
t'nninaltlnK Vice.
A proposition Is under way In Omaha
by several of the churches, by which they
hope to provide four halls in whWh to
hold dances for the young people who now
frequent the public dance halls of the
city. It Is planned to hold these dances
twice a week and to have in attendance
each night one of the church women, who
will Is interested in this work for the
young people. Rev. B. II. Bell i.t at the
bend of the plan.
With a party f newspaper people, and
miller the protecting wing of two ci.y de
tectives, Rev. Mr. Bell visited the dan v
halls of Omaha and remained until a late
hour to study the conditions under which
many young people take their Saturday
night amusement. After these visits on
of the detectives inquired !
"What are you going to do? They've
got to have some amusement, these young
folks. Many of the girls have no hoaies
where they care to invite their company
and there is no place for them but the
dance halls nnd the parks and the thea
ters. Why don't the churches get to
gether on this quention sad provide sirne
wholesome onimenient for these .voting
people?"
"We are planning to do tins, said Mr.
Reii
We hope to establish at 1 'asl four
halls in Omaha, where young people may
people and I am heartily hi favor of it.
""' rommm and hugging which 1
have wen to-niglit is not dancing. II we
establish our dance halls, as we hope to
do, we will have ladies in charge of the
halls who will look after the young people
nnd see that everything is conducted de
cently and in order. Wo recognize the
fact that they must have, proper recrea
tion nnd that we must provide something
better in the place of these dance hnlls.
We hope to lay this matter before the
Omahn Women's Club and have their co
operation in the matter."

The Michigan Supreme Court recently
gave the following decision of importance
to all trade unions: "Workingmen have
the right to fix a price upon their labor
and to refuse work unless that price is
obtained. Singly or in combination, they
have this right. They may use persua
sion to induce men to join their organiza
tion or refuse to work except for an es
tablished wage. They may present their
cause to the public in newspapers or cir
culars, in a S'iiceable way and with no
attempt ut coercion. If the effect in such
h, case is ruin to the employer, it is dam
num absque injuria, for they have only
exercised their legal rights."

cattle shipping point, the center of the
gigantic l.X ranch, with several hun
dred inhabitants. To-day it has 8.000.
and nightly people have to sleep on t he
at reets for lack of accommodation. Tin
old ranch was 27 miles wide and 00 long,
and was all under fence. There were-
1,200 sections, or nearly 770.0OO acres.
The company bought the hind originally
for 29 cents an acre.
The land boom in the Panhandle be
gan when the company that owned the
ranch divided it up into sections and !h-
gan offering it at from $1,500 to $2.50o
a section. A fourth of the land is yet un
sold, but Ihe company has gathered in six
millions for the land disposed of. Its
sale value is now from $10 to $20 an
acre. There are other big ranches in the
Panhandle, out iu tlie Big Pasture, as
they call it. These are all being cut up
and offered to the hungry land seekers.
There'll be a lot of dead towns in :lie
Panhandle when the bottom drops out of
this boom, as it will; hut while it lasts
the folks are having a good time. Men
who had nothing a few years ago are rich
now. Two-thirds of the business blocks
