Only the disasters at sea remain to be counted in obtaining complete re ports of the damage done by the great hurricane which . swept Florida , and South Georgia. Although the total damage will reach into the hundreds of thousands, it is evenly distributed, and will probably not fall as an op pressive burden on any particular community. Thirteen drowned in shipwreck is the most authentic count at hand. Approximately 2,500 men employed in the mechanical trades on the Mls souri Pacific-Iron Mountain system walked out in sympathy with striking machinists. A jury in a Birmingham, Ala., court awarded Mrs. Rose Drummond $500 damages from EL J. Goldsmith. The allegation was that the defendant had tried to kiss her.

The mountaineer friends of John Moore, under sentence to be electro cuted for the murder of Frank Howl, descended upon the jail at Lovingston, Va., stormed the building and rescued the prisoner. It is supposed he will . be taken to the mountains and lib erated. Following a heavy rain storm the entire Panhandle and plains section of Texas got its first taste of winter. In Amarillo snow fell all day, a fall estimated at two inches, breaking pre vious October records, covering a pe riod of eighteen years. Reports from other portions of the Panhandle indi cate that, the precipitation has been much the same as in Amarillo. The body of Stephen F. Austin, call jed the father of Texas, and for whom the state capital was named, was brought to Houston from Brazoria county, from which place it is being removed to the state capital in Austin in pursuance of an act of the Texas legislature.

McNaughton, charged with poisoning Jred Flanders with murder Cus intent last June, returned a verdict of guilty at Swainsboro .a. Judge Gilbert sen tenced McNaughton to hang December t.

Years of effort on the part of staunch supporters; to get. his name added to the list was rewarded by the announcement of Dr. John H. Maccracken, the chairman jof the sen ate of the New York university, that the author of "The Raven-" with ten others, had been accorded this honor. The eleven names added are as fol lows: Harriet Beecher jstowe, 74 votes ; Oliver Wendell Holmes and Ed gar Allan Poe, 69 votes each; Roger Williams, 64; James "Fenimore Coop er, 62; Phillips Brooks, 60; William Cullen Bryant, 59; Frances E.

The next attempt to crpS3,the At lantic in a balloon will probably be made on a westward course the op posite from that attempted by Well man. The expedition will be that of Joseph Brucker, formerly of Chi cago. Brucker's dirigible the Such ard, is approaching completion at Munich. The entire equipment will be shipped to the Canary islands at the end of the year, and the start westward is scheduled to be made from Teneriffe next February. Literary treasures of the late Sam uel L.

Man's first attempt to cross any ocean in an airship has failed, but Walter Wellnian. five companions and kitten, who essayed the j voyage, are safe. The airship the giant Amer ica is a battered aerial derelict, abandoned at sea, perhaps still in the air, perhaps sunk beneath the waves, with her costly equipment. When deserted she had been in the air for probably, 72 hours, a new world's rec ord for dirigibles, and, driven by the wind, had traveled doubtless 800 iriiles. Whether the distance record for dirigibles 870 miles-i-also will be broken, remains to be computed. Washington. Treasury officials are working out the postal savings bank plans steadily, but slowly, owing to a desire to safeguard against any defects in a scheme of such .magni tude where more than 60,000 postot fices and perhaps 15,000,000 deposi tors may be affected. They base fcne figures on the work in othe,r postal savings countries. j The census bureau made public the following population returns: Massa chusetts -State, 3,366,146; last cen sus, 2,805,346; increase, 20 per cent. In a formal order issued the inter state commerce commission announc ed its intention to administer strictly section 44 (the long and short haul provision) of the recently amended .aterstate commerce act. The order was the outgrowth of a hearing held by the commission two weeks ago on the matter of the application of inter state carriers generally for relief. There will be no change in the exist ing status or in the present rights of carriers until February 17, 1911. Nashville, Tenn., has a population of 110,364 under the new- census re turns. The population in 1900 was 80,- 865, an increase of 36.5 per cent. Oma ha, Neb., has 124,096 population now as against 102,555 m 1900. Staggered by the enormous growth shown by the returns of the new census for a number of j Western cit ies, Director Durand of the census bureau ordered an investigation. Cit ies specifically mentioned as being affected by the frauds are: Tacoma, Seattle and Aberdeen, Washington ; Portland, Ore.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Boise, Idaho, and Fort Smith, Ark ' The Department of Agriculture has announced that it is prepared, to sup-, ply the nine official grades of white cotton recently promulgated by the Secretary of Agricultures The grades wll be. furnished for $35 a set, the cost of their preparation, as required by law. . j The United States Supreme court refused to reyiew the decision of the New York Federal courts, which en tered' a pudgment for $20,000 against "Town Topics" in .favor of Samuel Dempster of Pittsburg as the outcome of a libel suitT-' , , The United" 'States Supreme court refused a rehearing in the Hertz Woodman -case and thus the Spanish American war tax on inheritances from testators who died in . the year immediately preceding becomes collectable.

' ... r NEED MONEY FOR GOOD WORK Plans of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. What "A Million for Tuberculosis from Red Cross Souls" will do in pro viding some of the 275,000 beds need ed at once In the United States : for consumptives, is explained in a recent bulletin of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu berculosis. There is just about one bed for every ten indigent consump tives, and if all tuberculosis persons in the country are counted, both rich and poor, hardly one for every 25 or 30. If sufficient hospital accommoda tions are provided only for those who are too poor to pay the full price for their treatment fully 275,000 more beds in special institutions for tuberculosis will be needed at once. The immense outlay necessary to pro vide and maintain so many beds in hospitals, makes it imperative, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis de clares, that such institutions pe erect ed from public money, either jmuni clpal, county or state. In order to get appropriations for public hospitals for tuberculosis, agitation is neces sary, and in order to create a cam paign of agitation, organization is de manded. But in order that an organi zation. may carry on an effective cam paign, funds are needed. These funds it Is proposed to secure in as many communities as possible from the sale of Red Cross seals.

"The greatest change, it seems i tc me, is to be found in the fact that the vice-president of the United States succeeds in getting his name in the paper nearly as often as he might il he were a baseball player or a prom ising lightweight prizefighter."

The mountaineer friends of John Moore, under sen tence to be electrocuted for the mur der of Frank Howl, descended . upon the Nelson county jail here, stormed the building and rescued the' prisoner.

Two Inches of Snow Falls in Texas Panhandle, Breaking Records. Fort Worth, Texas. Following a heavy rain storm the entire Panhan dle and plains section of Texas got its first taste of winter. In Amarillo snow fell all day, a fall estimated at two inches, breaking previous October records, covering a period of eighteen years. Reports from other portions of the Panhandle indicate that the precipitation j has been much the same as in Amarillo, the difference being in the character of formation, whether rain or snow. Although the fall of temperature i has been marked, com paratively little suffering is experienc ed among live stock, for the reason that cattle in general are in) good condition and vegetation is yet ' green and abundant. In Fort Worth and vicinity, follow ing a heavy rain, unusually cold weather prevailed. Other sections in Texas report comparatively like con ditions. . Perfecting Savings Bank Plan. Washington.
