At 7:30 last evening a terrible cyclone from the southwest struck the village of Keighley, Butler county Kan., and nearly wiped the little town off the earth. All the telegraph wires are down, and the informa- tlon was brought by a courier, who rode on a swift horse, Owing to the fact that the courier left immediately after the cy- clone passed over, the details are meager. It is known, however, that Ed. Thurman was crushed to death in a stable. Many were pinned under falling houses, and their fearful wails could be heard for miles. It is thought that many were killed, as the cyclone swept on its course as far east as the people could see it. Two general stores, the largest buildings In the village, were crushed like egg shells. A freight train was standing on the ‘Frisco track at the time, and six cars were lifted up and turned side ways. This! would indicate that the cyclone was at least 200 feet wide. The wreck standing on the track piled up thirty feet high, and trains cannot pass until sometime tonight. see The Catholic Knights.

This committee report that officers had been chosen for the central committee and that subeommittees and chairmen had been determined upon as fol- lows: OfMcerst Chstrman, Chapin Brown; vice chairman, Thos.

Noyes, Geo. W. Heisley, Richard Goodhart, J. H. Mitchell, Lawrence Gardener, A. F. Med- ford, John B. Wight, John Joy Edson, Archibald Greenless, J. C. Yost, Maj. F. H. Clark, J. H. Johnson, Duncan’ 8. Walker, Chris, Heurich, Samuel Ross, Notley ap- derson. Reviewing Stand. The meeting was called to order by Chair- man Brown, and the report of the suboom- mittee on plan was presented and approved. It was stated that the work of the com- mittees would be nearly similar to that performed by the corresponding committees in the Grand Army celebration. Then fol- lowed the reading of the rules and regula- tions governing the various Grand Army committees. Mr, Richard Goodhart, when the question of stands was brought up, stated that it had been the inteniion to | locate the reviewing stand for the Supreme Lodge at the Treasury Department look- ing eastward down the avenue. Secretary Caritse had stated that tion to the erection of @ stand point, but did not wish to have the grounds marred, but that the stand might encroach on the sidewalk provided the District Com- missioners did not object. The Commis- stoners had been communicated with, and they had announced that the erection of a stand at the point indicated would be all right if the sidewalk was not incumbered. Mr. Alvord suggested that but one stund | should be built for the President, govern- | ment officers and the Supreme Lodge, and that this be located on Pennsylvania avenue somewhere between 15th and 17th streets. Mr. Edson moved that this be referred to the proper committee. Mr. Wight wanted to know whether each chairman of subcom- mittees should nominate his committee to the central committee, and Chairman Brown gave affirmative information. Mr. Frank B. Noyes, chairman of the committee on finance, reported his committee. He said that he did this merely in the nature of a suggestion, as he wanted the advice of the committee on this matter. He did not think that the committee was perfect as reported, but it was designated us a nucleus and the committee would be en- larged. He also wanted the co-operatfon of every member of the executive committee in the important work which lay before the committee on finance. Mr. J. H. Mitchell, chairman of the subcommittee on pubtic comfort, reported his committee. The finance committee will meet at the office of Mr. Frank B. Noyes on Wednesday at 3 o'clock. Chairmen Woodward, Goodhart, Medford, Gardener, Greenless, Helbig, Wil- kins, Yost, Clark, Johnson, Walker will report their committees at a special m: ing to be held on Thursday. Mr. Edson moved that hereafter the regular meetings of the executive committee be held on Mondays at 4 p.m., and that when neces- sary meetings could be held more frequently at the call of the chairman. This was car- ried. Chairman Brown advocated giving all possible ald to Mr. Noyes in the great work of collecting the sinews of war. Fol- lowing came some talk as to subscription books and blanks. Chairman Heisley of the transportation committee reported, as has already been stated in The Star, that the Trunk Line Association has extended the return limit of encampment tickets from September 6 to September 15. The committee then adjourned. The Pythian committee was called to or- der last night by Chairman Goodhart. It was decided to cancel the contract which had been entered into for Convention Hall for the encampment ball, and the action of the committee authorizing the ball was re- ecinded. The question of procuring a ban- ner for the headquarters came up for dis- cussion, but action was postponed. It was a brief meeting and full of harmony. Those present were as follows: Richard Goodhart, Geo. W. Heisley, A. F. Medford, John M. Kline, John Humphrey, Notley Anderaon, F. W. Helbig, J. B. Conner, J. W. Cronie, Col. Harry Coggins, N. Bunch, J. W, Car- ter, R. T. Whiting, H. G. Wagner, W. T. Doherty, J. C. Yost, J. W. Bradbury, Geo, W. Gladmon, Gen. John E. Smith, J. Weisenvorn, J. J. McGuigan, T. H. Hall. Among the interesting communications which were received at headquarters th’ morning were the following: Harmony Di- vision, No. 14, Torrington, Conn., asking quarters for thirty-five men and about the same number of friends; 8. D. Hunt, Lara- mie, Wyo., Fred A. Lang, West Virginta, and E. C, Rose, Chicago, asking for ac- commodations for their commands. A let- ter was also recetved from James Donnelly, jr., of Omaha stating that he wanted quar- ters for 200. es Banquet to Justice White. ‘The great rotunda of the Hotel Royal, an apartment in which formerly were held the sessions of the senate of Louisiana, and which has been the scere of some of the at New Orleans, was filled last night with a distinguished assemblage, the occasion being a banquet tendered by the citizens to Mr. Edward Douglas White, associate jus. tice of the United States Supreme Court and ex-United States Senator from Louls- jana. ‘Telegrams were recetved from Secze-ary of War Lamont, Attorney General Olney, Postmaster General Wilson Bissell, Secre- tary Herbert and Secretary of State Gres- ham. Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme Court telegraphed: “Give Justice White a royal banquet, for he is a power among men and destined to be a chief among judges.” Justice Harlan of the same court wired his regrets, saying: “Mr. Justice White, as a member of the Supreme Court, will reflect honor upon the whole country.” HALL'S HAIR RED Ss DANDRUFF ‘and scalp affections; also all cases of baldness, md third, and Capt.

I am large, strong, active and willing. I have been about machinery all my life, and want work badly.” He touched a button, and « boy appeared. “Show this man down to the converting mill and ask Fred if he can do anything for him. Good morning,” he said, and my interview was over. I put on my new overalls and jumper and followed my guide down through the milla, We made our way through piles of stock, raw material, rolls, &c., and came at last to the huge converting mill. The super- intendent wes found, and the word de- livered, He glanced at me a moment; then said, not unkindly: “You look good and strong; jump in and help those fellows there on those vessels.” I hardly knew what he meant; but through the smoke and steam I sew men Denesth one of the vessels, or converters, working with sledges and bars to get the bottom off. The mill with its ponderous end massive cranes, the immense vesscis all covered with black scale and soot, the flying sparks, the roaring flames, the lights coming and going, the alr filled with steam and smoke, and, finally, the shrill and deafening noise, awed, confused and even Cisconcerted me more than I should have liked to acknowledge. I seized o sledge lying near and “jumped in.” We at last got out the “keys,” as they call the wedges which hold the con- verter together, and by the lrelp of a hy- @raulic ram took the bottom off. This left @ white-hot opening eight feet in diameter id about six feet from the ground, under hich we must work. It seemed to me as though the skin on my neck and hands would burst with the heat.

Then the blast was turned on, and a cloud of yellow and saffron flame, mixed with sparks and small particles of metal, | rushed out of the mouth of the converter into the air.

It seems to have taken twenty-five or thirty years to throw the proper perspective upon these romantic events to give them their true value in the eyes of the story writer. Such a tale has just been unearthed by means of an acticn by the pension office on a case that has been pending before that bureau for upward of twenty-five years. A pension was granted to one Thos. L. Hurst, a soldier of the sixteenth Penn- sylvania cavalry, for insanity caused by his service. The accrued pension amounts to a considerable sum. In the summer of 1890 one of the census takers who was canvassing Warren coun- ty, Pa., a veteran of the late war, came in citizen of the county town and proceeded to ask the usual questions. The household- vr being absent, his wife responded to the catvasser’s call, who, after putting the routine questiors, asked, agcording to for- mula, whether any one in the family had served during the rebellion.. The woman) promptly responded that her first husband By noon I was so tired I could hardly stand, but I stuck to it for all I was worth. | During the afternoon 1 frequently fell | dcwn because my knees were too weak to) hold me up. My hands were burned and | biistered, and my new overalls were filled with holes burned by flying sparks. About | 4 o'clock in the afternoon, while working | under the platform, I was startled to see| a stream of red fire run over the edge of | the platform and strike in the midst of) some workmen. As it touched the wet ground it exploded with a report like that of a cannon. The mciten metal fiew in| every direction. Many workmen were burn- ed more or less severely, and in the case of one poor fellow—it makes me sick still to} think of it—the steel came down directly on the head and back. We got him out of the steam and smoke, and carefully and tenderly cut his burned clothing from | him. As we placed him on the stretcher the burned flesh dropped from his bones. When I was relieved at 6 o'clock it seemed as if it would have been utterly impossible for me to live in that mill an-/ other hour. I dragged myself to my room | and went to bed at once. All that night [/ tossed and turned my aching bones, trying | to get into some position less painful than | the last. I was tortured by a thousand grotesque fancies, and by the picture of the poor fellow who was burned so badly. At last I got into an uneasy drowse, but | I felt as if I had not been asleep a minute when my alarm clock announced to me that it was 4:45, and that J must get up to| my 5:10 breakfast. Oh, the misery of that! rising and going to the mill! Every bone! end sinew seemed as if made of red-hot! ron, and the joints as if rusted together. It was a dark, foggy meraing, I found | when, having desperately got up enough will power to dress, I tumbled out to my | boarding hou: The Pittsburg smoke and | fog are proverbial, but I really think that | on that particular morning one might have | cut tangible chunks out of the black, wet) air. The board walks in Homestead are | never in repair, and on the way to the/ mills I stumbled along through mud and) stones, over boards and into holes, carry- ing in my hand my tin dinner bucket, | which contained my mid-day meal. } On my first Sunday we relined the con-/ verter, and :t became my duty to stand up in the inverted vessel and hand up the ball stuff and limest The vessel ha simply over night, and I suppose the tem- perature of the dry air inside of it stood at about 140 degrees. I worked as hard as} I could, but near noon I fainted, for the, first time in my life. | My experience at Homestead was the experience of the majority of workmen there. ips HE MAY BE A LORD. W. W. As aid to Be tm Tr for the Brit Peerage. From Bondon Correspondence Philadelphia Times. England continues to speak of William Waldorf Astor as an American, and Amer- ica laughs at him as an imitation English- | man, but the truth 1s he is so much an| Englistman that he is actually slated for! the peerage. This may seem incredible in America, and yet it is a fact. You probably aware that Mr. Wal-| dorf Astor has already become a British | subject, and since he naturalized himself | here he has enjoyed pre‘erential election to | that select circle of England's territor‘al magnates, that political hollest of the holies, the Carlton Club. A further step in his upward flight was his nomination for the bench of the county of Middlesex, and he will be forthwith gazetted justice of the peace. That is an honor conferred by the lord high chancellor acting for the crown on the nomination of the lord Heutenant of the county. It entitles the holder to rank as justice of the quorum, and is an inev- itable preparatory step to higher rank. So far so good, but the half has not yet been told. He has been offered a baronetcy, but not quite content with that, stipulates for the rahk of a baron at least, and will un- doubtedly succeed. Let me explain the difference in rank be- tween a baronet and a baron. The former is the lowest order of hereditary rank, and entitles the holder to be addressed as Sir and his spouse as Lady. It is in point of procedure rank 65, and permits the holder to sit in the house of commons, whereas that of baron entitles the holder to the rank, title and dignity of my lord and a seat in the house of lords. The style of ad- dress to the spouse of the holder of the title ts still my lady. The rank of baron is the lowest of the five orders of peers, and entitles the family of the holders to be known and addressed as honorable. Loi Beaconsfield once said that there was certain moral force in a name, and a dignity in a double-barreled name.” Mr. Astor is of the same opinion; he writes and styles himself Waldorf Astor; so in books of references look under W and not under A. Mr. Waldorf Astor, however, is doing well and is appreciated here. He has al- ways been in good hands, having from the first been chaperoned by that fine old Eng- ish gentleman, that sturdy old courtier, Christopher Sykes. Success in social life depends on whose that those most written about are the m desirable. In the case of Mr. Waldorf A: tor his chaperon is not much known out- side, but Christopher fs a man of rare judg- ment and unsullled character, and, what is more, one of H. R. H.'s set, high in the favor of Queen Victoria and socially a power behind the throne. From the stand- point of practical politics the giving of so- cial rank to Mr. Waldorf Astor ts brilliant; it will tend to attract other multi-million- aires, and when we get the Astors, Vander- bilts, Havemeyers, Rockefellers, Goulds and others our London season will blos- som like a rose, and when the few remain- ing coronets of British aristocrats now in pawn be redeemel, then the plebelan gov- ernment of the United States may devise some means of social demarcation to keep her millionaires at home. Meanwhile a cor- dial welcome awaits them here | i | ; McCalmont did not care to touch the case | drawn by Strong tmpulse she had been a soldier in the federal army, and the census taker indifferently asked his rame. She answered that his name was rst. “What Hurst?” asked the canvasser, with @ slight show of interest, for ine name stirred up long-neglected memory. “Thomas L. Hurst of company C, six- teenth Pennsylvania cavalry,” was the re- sponee. The census taker started and exclaimed excitedly that Hurst had been his own comrade Guring the war. He asked quickly if he had died of insanity, The woman re- sponded affirmatively. “L was with him when he was taken with insantty,” returned the official. He was then told that the soldier had died in 1887, and he went on to advise the Woman that she was entitled to a pension for the nine years while she remainel a widow and also for her son, who was then twenty-eight, up to the time of his six- teenth birthday. Acting from a spirit of comradeship, the census taker took the names in case and sent them to an attorney in Washington, and the claim was filed im the name of the widow and the "he cla la; upon e claim lay vnacted from that time until 188, when Mr. H. R. McCal- mont, formerly chief clerk of the special examination division in the pension office, but more lately a practicing attorney in Warren county, went on business matters to Warren, when the census taker, know- ing his experience in pension matters, called upon him, related the circumstances of the case to him and asked his help. Mr. at first, and refused to assist in its prose cution, because the woman was remartied and being well taken care of. § — “Madam, I have found out about you first husband.” “When did he die? “He is not dead.” It was a terrible blow, but it was deal as gently as possibly. “You don’t—you cannot mean that,” shi “Yes,” replied the lawyer sympathet® cally, “he is now at North Warren in insane asylum—in a pauper ward. He been there for ten years.” The wo turned as pale as death. It seemed impos sible to her for the moment, but then shq flushed suddenly and exclaimed: “My God, and I'm remarried!” Mr. McCalmont explained to the w that her second marriage was @ matter iittle consequence, as it was through ne fault of hers. He cent at once for the sok Gier’s son, a young man of twenty-seven of twenty-eight, who was thunderstruck the news. He burst into tears and at once to be allowed to go and see his father, whom he had never known. “No, George,” pleaded the lawyer, “don't do that unless you can take him out of the miserable condition he is now in.” Notwithstanding this advice, the’son la ter, while Mr. McCalmont was away, went to the asylum, saw his father, and on his return was taken ill and remained in bed for six weeks as the result of the shock be had received. The case had now taken an entirely new aspect. As the soldier was alive, of course the wife's claim for widow's pension was impossible, as was also the clatm for the son's dependence during minority, for both such cases depend upon the death of the soldier for maintenance. It was very evi- dent, however, that Hurst himself was clearly entitled to a pension if his insanity vas in any way due to the service. His Wretched condition appealed to his legal friend so strongly that the latter deter- mined to solve the problem of his case st the earliest possible moment. So he called again upon the census taker, Mr. Searles, who told him that Hurst had been taken sick in the army in Virginia during Janu- ary of 1963, and a month or two later had @ severe attack of nostalgia,the scientific name for acute homesickness. It may be news to many readers of The Star that this appar- ently harmless, simple ailment, more an 12 of the mind than of the body, caused the Geaths of hundreds upon hundreds of sol- diers during the late war. So heavily did the disease press upon him that in April Hurst became insane and was sent away from the camp. Searles then lost sight of his comrade and there all personal evi- dence of him was lost. The lawyer there- upon came at once to Washington to in- spect the records, and to his amazement found on file an application for pension made by Hurst in 1s before he was sent to the asylum at Dixmont. The claim con- tained the evidence of one McDonald, a brother-in-law of Hurst, who was with him in the service, but who had since died. The declaration for pension corroborated the records and the statement of the com- rade as accurately as though the two had been carefully compared. Mr. McCalmont then returned home his discovery. quest of George Hurst, Judge Gunnison of Erie county appointed the lawyer a commit+ tee for the insane soldier, and a formal ap- plication was made in October last to com- plete the chain. Evidence was filed @ I later, but, owing to the great magnitade the claim, it was deemed advisable by ty pension authorities here to make @ examination of the case. This was had, later another was ordered, because members of the Hurst family had not been found. The records showed that soldier had been treated in March, 1863, impaired mental condition, and in May that year was sent from the field to the Elizabeth Asylum near this city for ment for mania. The special showed that the patient had been from the asylum by Robert HK. Hurst. examiner spent two weeks in the most gent inquiry, taking a vast amount of timony, and finally located the missing tives ip the western states. Then a examiner was sent out and he succeeded finding all of the living members of family. The soldier's mother was e of Gen. Hiram L. Brown, a brave and dise tinguished soldier of Erie county, colonel of the 145th Pennsylvania, and lat a brigadier general. The entire family was well connected, but through adverse fortune had been obliged to remove to the west, and had been unable to take that care of Hurst that his case demanded.

Uis attacks, however, grew more frequent, and three years later, in 1886, the husband became hopelessly insane, aud the family went back to the old Hurst farm at Har- bor Creek, Erie county, Pa.

Such was the history of the case that Mr McCalmont unraveled when he had taken hold of the claim. His first efort was, of | course, to ascertain the exact place and date of the husband's death, for without | these facts the case could not be establish- | ‘The woman's Memory on the suiject | of what she had learned about her hus-| band’s death not very clear, but she in-| dicated that hi been sent from the| family farm to some institution and had | died there.

It must be remembered that Mrs. Hurst had learned of her husband’s death in 1s70, twenty-three years before this investiga. tion took place, and consequently the pro- cess of tracing the soldier was uncommonly dificult. Mr. McCalmont knew that there | Was no asylum for the insane at North | Warren in 1867, and he presumed that there had been @ mistake and that his informant | must have meant the asylum at Dixmont, Pa, to the superintendent of which he! wrote for information. A week or so later | came the reply saying that Thomas L. Hurst was received there on the 6th of June, 1807, and, strange to say, remained there until December, 1874, when on order of Judge Vincent of the court of common pleas of Erie county the patient was re- turned to the commissioners of the poor of Brie county “unimproved.” m that information it appeared t Hurst might have been later at North War ren, and to that institution Mr. McCalmont wrote, asking if at any time since 1674| Hurst had been an inmate. The reply to this ee which came the next day, w; one of the most startling surprises yer had ever experienced. roe Thomas L. Hurst was alive. The super- intendent of the institution wrote that he had been received at Gat place in July, 1884, and was there yet “in rather fair Ehysical condition, but hopslessly insane.” Further inquiry showed that he had been an inmate of the Erie county poor house from 1874 to 1884. Here, indeed, was a) revelation. For twenty-seven years Hurst's | wife had supposed him dead, and for four-| teen years she had been the wife of another man. The lawyer sent for nd when they were alone he was her at once, | said: y | | running into the thousands, Creek believed him dead. One brother, in Dakota, knew he was living, but believed that he was being well cared for. The case was now in such condition that all that was wanted was a final identifica- tion of the man in the North Warren Asy- jum as Thomas Hurst. The records of the various institutions of which he had been an inmate were clear anf ample, but ft was thought best to resort to a test that should leave no doubt whatever in the official mind. The wife should confront her husband, and thus the identification should fail or should be completed. On this test both sides agreed to rest their case, and so the woman who had thought her husband dead was one day driven out to the asylum at North Warre Twelve of the inmates of the istitutio: the man who was ‘supposed to be Hurst among them,.were let out in the yard an@ drawn up in line.
