Characteristic of Our Navy.
One characteristic common to almost
all American naval commanders, one
which equal with their bravery en-
dears them to their countrymen, is
their more than willingness to share
with colleagues and subordinates the
glories of their achievements. A nota-
ble and pleasing Instance Is found in
the report of Captain McCalla to the
secretary of the navy on the part taken
by himself and his men in the first Pe-
king relief expedition. A brave man
himself, he knows a brave man when
he sees oue and Is quick to recognize
deeds of bravery in others.
After giving details of the expedition
in which he bore such a gallant part,
modestly refraining from anything like
self laudation, Captain McCalla makes
the generous suggestion that this gov-
ernment might do well to offer some
tangible recognition to certain of the
foreign naval officers who co-operated
with our men In the operations.
Captain McCalla’s stirring report
wdnds up with this characteristic ref-
erence to the splendid conduct of his
own men: “It will be a very pleasant
duty In a future communication to rec-
ommend certain officers and men of the
Newark for promotion or for medals of
honor whose services justly entitle
them to the consideration of the navy
department In my opinion, and I may
say that I consider It an honor to have
commanded so fine a body of officers
and men.”
With men of the stripe of Captain
McCalla in command—and they are the
rule rather than the exception—it Is no
marvel that the esprit de corps of the
merican navy excites the admiration
the world.
ero Is cheer for the long' wlntop-
ts in the kuowledgetjuit-'fcnT^year’s
e crop will largest in recent
Is agreed by the National Ap-
hlppers’ association that-the corn-
crop of the United States, Canada
and Nova Scotia “will be the largest of
any crop iu the history of the country,”
and that means of the world, for the
apples of England and Europe are not
comparable with those of this country
in size, flavor or coloring, being chiefly
green or white fruit of inferior quality.
Contemplating the crop now in sight,
Fresident Richardson told the shippers
at their recent convention in Cleveland,
as recorded in The Fruit Trade Jour-
nal, that apples can no longer be con-
sidered a luxury, but a necessity, equal
with potatoes or any other food staple.
The crop Is very heavy In New Eng-
land, New York and Pennsylvania,
moderate to full In the central, western
and southwestern states and heavy In
the far west, the Pacific slope, Canada
and Nova Scotia. The yearly apple
yield of North America fluctuates be-
tween 25,000,000 and 75,000,000 barrels.
It was perhaps 70,000,000 In 1806,
which is the record year in this coun-
try. It was not more than 30,000,000
last year. The crop of 1900 should be
somewhere from 80,000,000 to 100,000,-
000 barrels, enough at least to furnish
a mug of cider and a roasted apple
nightly to every citizen of the republic
during the winter.
The Philosophy of Nietzsche.
In the death of Frederick Nietzsche,
the German philosopher, the world
loses a figure highly interesting if only
from the fact that his life was a typical
paradox. He was a genuine eccentric,
a man in whom the line of demarcation
between genius and insanity was so
lightly drawn that the former was
swallowed up in the latter, and the un-
fortunate man spent the latter days of
his life in a lunatic asylum.
Nietzsche’s philosophy was of the
negative kind, a kind not very much in
vogue these days. He has been ac
cused of being a man of inordinate
vanity, and his writings have been sub-
poenaed to give evidence In behalf of
the accusation. But the probability Is
that Nietzsche had such a strong per-
sonality that he was compelled to use
the personal pronoun In his works to a
far larger extent than the general cus-
tom with philosophers. He was ex-
tremely conservative, as is shown by
his attacks on this, that and the other
modern thing. His book assailing Wag-
ner is one of the best known of his
writings, and it must be confessed that
In this he betrayed strong personal”
prejudices.
Nietzsche carried the doctrine of the
survival of the fittest to an extreme
bordering Indeed on the absurd. He
claimed that it was wrong for society
to found hospitals, asylums and poor-
houses. He declared that the proper
thing to do was to let the weakest go to
the vail without attempting In any
way io remove or mitigate their weak-
nesses. He even said that it was wrong
DAMAGE TO CftdPS.
Cotton aurl Rice Ruined and the Loss
Placed at SB, 100,000.
Houston, Sept. 11. -While the greatest
damage aud loss of life from the West
Iudiau cyclone was at Galveston, there
is not a towu within 100 miles of the
gulf, west of the Mississippi river, that
has not suffered wreckage or loss of life,
or both.
Crops within that scope are ruined.
The cotton is totally ruined. Where
prospects were for a fair yield of that
staple what is left will not pay for pick-
ing. The damage to cotton will not
miss $1,000,000 far.
The rice crop is in as poor condition.
Iu the vicinity of Beaumont the yield
promised greater than ever known be-
fore, aud it is estimated the planters
cannot gather enough for seed next
year. Iu Louisiana the same conditions
exists. Around Lake Charles the whole
rice crop was blown down and covered
with mud. The estimated damage iu
Texas to the rice crop is placed at $700,-
000 and in Louisiana at $400,000, mak-
ing a total of $1,100,000.
Add the damage to the cotton and
rice crops to the loss buildings in cities
and towns outside of Galveston, which
will reach near $900,000, it will make an
aggregate loss of $3,000,000.
Reports from isolated towns are be-
ginning to come in and bring more re-
ports of deaths and wreckage. Half the
smaller tows in south Texas are yet to
be heard from and as wires are down it
will be several days before any accurate
report can be expected.
The damage to property in Houston
is placed at $300,000, with ouly one loss
of life and some few being slightly in-
jured.
The news from the country between
this city and Galveston along the Santa
Fe is appalling. Towns wiped out;
lives lost; crops detroyed. Alvin is re-
ported nearly wiped off the earth.
Hitchcock is in much the same condi-
tion. Alta Loma is without a house
standing. Pearl is as bad. Seven lives
were lost at Alvin.
At Virginia Point the houses are all
gone,the depot had disappeared and two
freight trains blown away aud many
lives lost.
Over 50 bodies have been picked up
at Virginia Point and hundreds are
being washed ashore.
Every inland town 100 miles away
romthc gulf suffered loss.
At Guston stores were unroofed and
residences destroyed.
At Rock Islnnd the Baptist church
was totally wrecked and several resi-
dences were unroofed.
*fiiousaiids Have Kidney 'Trouble
and Don’t Know it.
How To Rind Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set-
tling indicates an
unhealthy condi-
tion of the kid-
neys; if it stains
your linen it is
evidence of kid-
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain in
the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra-
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won-
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

must certainly be washed away and in
this quarter, between Broadway and I
street some of the handsomest and most
expensive residents are located. There
was located there one home which alone
cost the owner over $1,000,000. Most o
the residences are frame but there are
many of stone and brick. In the ex-
treme earstern end of the city there are
many what we call raised cottages.
They are built on piling and stand from
8 to 10 feet from the ground as a precau-
tion against floods, ii being possible for
the water to sweep under them.
‘‘The only protection that has ever
been provided for the gulf side of the

The approaching reunion of Den-
mark’s royal family at Fredensberg 1s
an event of more than common Inter-
est, particularly in view of the king
killing activity of the anarchists. The
family is unique in having supplied so
many Euroffcan thrones, and the gath-
ering will be a remarkable one, Includ-
ing among the more notable figures
aside from the rulers of Denmark the
czar of Russia, Kaiser Wilhelm, King
George of Greece, King Oscar of Swe-
den and the Princess of Wales, pro-
spective queen of England. Contem-
plated in connection with the assassi-
nation of King Humbert, such an ag-
gregation of royal personages contains
possibilities that are appalling. Yet
the abandonment of the reunion for
such a cause would be more damaging
than defiance as a confession of terror.

A Chicago dispatch says that here-
after no hoy who smokes cigarettes
will be employed In the postoffice of
that city. Formerly the rule was mere-
ly that the boys employed in the post-
office could not smoke during working
hours. It has now been decided that
“all cigarette smoking by the boys in
the office must cease and that no boy
who is addicted to the habit could get
a place in the future.” This may or
may not be just to the young aspirants
for places in the Chicago postoffice, but
it is a condition which confronts them.
They must give up the places or the
cigarettes. Justly or otherwise there
Is a strong prejudice among employing
business men all over the country
against giving places to cigarette
smoking boys. The boy whose fingers
are stained yellow by burned rice pa-
per and tobacco is pretty apt to get
turned down at about every place
where he makes application for a posi-
tion. The boys may insist that ciga-
ratte smoking doesn’t hurt them. We
are not here arguing the question
whether It does or It does not, but just
calling attention to a condition. The
question for the boys to decide Is
whether they will give up the ciga-
rettes or lose opportunities for employ-
ment.
The superior court of Pennsylvania

In accord with a decision filed in Phila^
delphia 20 years ago upholding the con-
stitutionality of the act of 1863 pro-
hibiting scalping, but is couched in
terms calculated to destroy nil hope of
assailing successfully the plain intent
of the legislature of Pennsylvania to
protect the rights of railway companies
and to defend passengers from imposi-
tion in the Illegitimate traffic in rail-
way tickets. The decision does not, of
course, assail the position of one inno-
cently selling an unused portion of a
ticket bought in good faith, but it does
antagonize a business which the legis-
lature has said Is “prolific of fraudu-
lent results.”

SITUATION OF THE CITY.
Galveston Is on an Island Twenty-Seven
Miles Long: and Seven Wide.
Indianapolis, Sept. 11.— D. B. Clark-
son of Galveston, Tex., whose family is
probably swept away,was an anxious in-
quirer at the Associated Press office
here Sunday night. Speaking of the
city, its location, population, and floods
that have inundated the city, he said:
‘ Galveston is situated on an island
extending east and west for 27 miles and
is seven miles in its greatest width north
and south. No city coule be in greater
danger with such a horrible visitation
as’ has now come to Galveston. In no
part of the city with its 38,000 popula-
tion is it more than six feet above the
sea level. The fk.fc condition not only
points to the desperation of the situa
tion of the people at such time as this,
but their danger may be considered em
phasized when it is known that exactly
where the city is built the Island is only
1)4. miles wide.
‘‘On the bay, or north side of the city
is the commercial section with wharves
stretching along for nearly two miles,
lined with sheds and large storage
houses. In that portion of Galveston
there are three elevators; one of 1,500,-
000 bushels capacity, one of 1,000,00<*
and the third of 750,000. The island
from the north side is connected with
the mainland by rajlroad bridges and
the longest wagon bridge in the world,
the latter nearly two miles long.
“In 1872 the entire east east end of
the city was swept away by the tidal
wave that followed a terrific storm that
swept the gulf coast for three full days,
Then the eastern land on which build-
ings stood was literally torn away.
“It is on the south side of the city,
beginning within 50 yardstof the medium
gulf tide that the wealthy resident
“Many millions of dollars are invested
in the wholesale and retail business of
the city. On Strand street alone there
are ten blocks of business establishments
that represents an invested capital of
$127,000,000. Market street is the heavy
retail street and there in the heart of
the flooded district, the losses cannot
but reach away into the millions.
‘The fact, that as indicated by the
dispatches that water is standing sever-
al feet deep in the Tremont hotel, fur-
nishes startling evidence to me that the
situation in Galveston is indeed dread-
ful. The hotel is almost exactly in the
center of the city.
‘Two years ago Galveston did the
heaviest shipping business in cotton and
grain of any southern city. When I was
home ewa shiploads of cattle were leav-
ing the port on an average every week.”

College Education For Girlg.
As the college girl bids farewell t*
her home and parents for the season of
1900-1 It arouses speculation on an old
subject, whether or not the college girl
is getting the best out of her opportuni-
ties for Intellectual improvement. That
she would be happier at home under
the eye of a judicious mother at this
period of her life there can be no two
opinions. Anything that tends even
temporarily to alienate the girl from
her home is a misfortune, for her after
life will be spent in a home. College
life is very like the life in a great hotel.
It is impersonal, irresponsible. No mat-
ter how well meaning the faculty may
be, they cannot supervise the forming
the tastes and habits of each stu-
dent. Carelessness or overprecision
are the Scylla and Charybdis that must
be avoided. The young college girl, in-
experienced, from a country home per-
haps, is suddenly thrown on her own
responsibility. She has no guide but
her own good sense In choosing friends
work or play or In mode of life. If
she forgets some trifling detail of her
toilet in the rush of business in the
great educational institution, there is
no one with the time or the right to
suggest that her collar is awry, her
hair guiltless of comb, her nails un-
manicured and her shoes half buttoned
and unpolished. The braids wear off
her skirts, and her dainty handker-
chiefs become polka dotted with ink,
and there is no one to hint that she Is
becoming a sloven so long as her stand-
ard In class is a high one. She may in-
jure her eyes in study or overexert in
the college basket ball or rowing teams,
and nobody bothers. Her pocket mon-
ey may give her the opportunity to en-
joy between meals unhygienic dainties
such as candy, cake and pickles, and
nobody tells her she is courting indi-
gestion. She exercises perhaps only to
the small extent that the college rou-
tine requires and grows weak and
round shouldered through poring over
desk without criticism. All these
things are possibilities to the college
girl who has no keen, wise eye, and no
eye sees so clearly as that of a loving
mother. The girl studies as habit, in-
clination or duty urges her. Which of
these incentives will rule and for what
after benefit depends altogether upon
the girl. Colleges should not pretend
to form character. Their business is to
cultivate the mind. No large college
3 really do anything more. If the
girl acquires a thorough education in
the studies that make up the curricu-
lum, It has done its part.
And the home? There are in any city
teachers equal In ability to the pro-
fessors of the most famous women’s
colleges. There ar* schools just as ca-
pable of educating any young woman.
The glory of possessing a diploma from
a celebrated college must be weighed
against the advantage of the refining
Influence of a mother’s love and experi-
ence and the advantage of growing up
in sympathy with the station and
friends into which the girl was born.

Despite the trolley, the bicycle and
the automobile the future of the Amer-
ican horse is by no means discouraging.
There arrived in this country a few
days ago four commissioners of the
German government, sent to investi-
gate the condition of our horse market
and ascertain if that government may
rely upon It as a base of supply for its
army horses. This commission is to
make a thorough examination of the
American horse question with the view
of finding out if the class of horse rais-
ed here is suitable for army purposes
and if so if an unlimited supply can be
relied upon at all times. The commis-
sioners have been instructed to pur-
chase 3,000 horses immediately and
ship them to Germany so that the mili-
tary authorities over there may have
an opportunity of judging for them-
selves of the quality and adaptability
of American stock. Should the experi-
ment prove successful it Is intimated
unlimited purchases will be made.

The New York Tribune calls for the
removal of the Dewey arch. Whereas
it was once rated a thing of beauty and
presumably a joy forever, it has now
become a blemish and an eyesore, with
no chance of restoration. That this
magnificent piece of plastic art is not
to be preserved in enduring form is by
no means creditable to the metropolis
of the nation and its 3,500,009 people.
Miss Jane Yatman, who in riding
from New York to Chicago on a bicy-
cle, hopes to establish a record that
will stand for years. For the credit of
her sex it is to be hoped that it will
stand forever—that no other woman
will be foolish enough to contest it.

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the sys
tern, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send fo? list of testi
monials. Address,
