Rivers Sweep Over the Banks and Traffic Is Interrupted. e R - DALLAS, Tex., July 25.—There has been an almost continuous fall of rain cover- ing practically the entire State since last Sunday, the downpour being particularly heavy in Western Texas. In Schurry County rain has fallen for seven days and streams are out of their banks. The town of Snyder is cut off from all com- munication except by telephone. At Pecos the Pecos River is two miles widé, flooding the alfalfa and corn farms north of the town. The railways have declined to receive freight or express for shipment. There are many washouts along the Texas and Pacific west of Abi- lene and general traffic dperhaps will be interrupted for several days. At Waco the Brazos rose from fifteen to eightgen feet within a short time, but is falling this morning. In and around Dallas a driving rain began falling at 6 o’clock last night and still continues. The drench- ing will materially help cotton. HORNELLSVILLE, N. Y., July 2.—A Lail and rain storm visited Canaseraga, seventeen miles west of here, last night, doing thousands of dollars’ worth of dam- age, especially to growing crops. For a time_the water was three feet deep on the Erie Railroad. The water ran down the streets of the village in rivers. WIN, Pa., July 25.—Not a _manufac- turing establishment in Irwin is running to-day as a result of last night's storm. The breaking of the two dams flooded the entire western part of Irwin and at Coal Hollow housSes, bridges and railroad sigings were washed away. The big Westmoreland car shops were damaged thousands: of dollars. In the country many coal shafts gre flooded and dozens of bridges were destroyed. The hail cut all the oats and corn to the ground and all vegetation is ruined. Near Wash- ington the creek overflowed and a pas- senger train bound for Waynesburg with 100 passengers was held up nearly all night. GENEVA, N. Y., July 25.—A cloudburzt caused heavy damage near Dresden last night. Acres of crops were destroyed, a number of dwellings, barns and other buildings were washed away and several miles of track on the Pennsylvania divi- sion of the New York Central was washed out. One house was carried into Seneca Lake. The occupants escaped from the second-story windows. PHILADELPHIA, July 25.—A violent electrical storm broke over this city anl surrounding country to-day, causing heavy damage to property and vegeta- tion. The flint glass works of James J. Murray & Co. was struck by lightning and partially destroyed, causing a 10ss of $50,000. Lightning also struck one of the smaller oil tanks at the Point Breeze Oil yVo;k& The flames were confined to ohe ank. ROMANTIC STORY FROM DEAD LETTER OFFICE The Mystery of Weekly Caller for Thirty Odd Years Remains to Be Solved. The dead letter office in Washington, according to the New York Press, is the repository of many strange romances, in which love and villainy are mingled. Oc- casfonally some of them come to light, but instances of this sort are rare. Recently there developed a case which gives free rein to the imagination as to the story behind a_huge bundle of letters forwarded to Washington from the post- office in New Yor] The official searcher learned the following interesting story: Nearly thirty years ago a young wom- an, neatly dressed and with an unusually sad expression of countenance, inquired at the ladles’ window for a letter ad- dressed to—well, say Miss Wilson, as that name answers as well as any. The clerk, after satisfying himself of her identity, gave her the missive. The youflg woman thanked him and hurried away. Every Wednesday thereafter she ap- })enred at the same window, received her etter from Philadelphia and disappeared. The clerk got to look for her, and there was no more questioning. Sometimes she remained to chat for a few minutes, but gave no clew to her identity other than the name on the envelope. Year after year, with automatic regu- larity, she was at the window every ‘Wednesday. The clerk, a veteran in service of Uncle Sam, marked the chanfe in his weekly visitor. From a compara- tively young girl she grew to womanhood. Theél, by easy stages, she became middle- aged. The handwriting on the envelope, too, showed the ravages of time: From asbold, free style it began to waver, and finally became almost illegible. But the charac- istics were there—there was no mistaking that the writer was the same. About six weeks ago the woman missed ker weekly visit. The old clerk marveled at her aBsence, but concluded she must be ill. Another week passed. There were two letters for her then, but still she came not. Nor was she ever seen by him again. Still the letters continued to ar- rive promptly every week. Eventually they were sent to the dead letter office, to he followed by the others, which came with due regularity. They ceased a few weeks ago. ‘When tihe accumulated bunch of letters was opened a few days ago each letter ‘was found to contain a $5 bill inclosed in a blank sheet of paper. The only clew to the writer was the postmark. The money was turned. into the United States treas- ury, and the envelopes, duly ticketed for future reference, should that be neces- sary, were filed away. But the girl and the sender of the money? Who can fath- om the tale that connected the two? PR RSO SRy EVANST ON UNIVERSITY ENCOURAGES MATRIMONY Shows Practical Results of Co-Edu- cation in Order to Attract Students. 0 ‘While the University of Chicago is dis- couraging the free and joyous relations of the young men and maidens of its fold, its lively competitor at Evanston, North- western University, is disclosing some of the superior advantages offered in that delightful suburb. Amid the conferring of learned degrees the betrothal of two young men and two young women, all students of the university, was officially announced from the platform. This was a departure from the customs of the in- stitution, but we are told it was received with “tumultuous applause” and the shouting of the college yell. It is under- ‘stood that superior opportunities—not strictly scholastic—are afforded to students officiaily known to be engaged, and it seems likely that this easy abatement of sur- veillance will become popular with the co-eds, and engagements ‘or the course may become a feature of ihe learned life. IL may be interesting to note that while in 1892 there were 1275 men and 345 wom- en_ in_the institution, in the past year only per cent of the students were men. “In vain the net is spread in the sight of any birds.” Something more than the attractions of official engagements is needed, for there is talk of erecting a gmnnium to allure the wary mnfe_ ew York Tribune. —_——— Mirrors Help Hospital Patients. A lay contemporary says that in some hospitals the use of mirrors by the pa- tients is forbidden, and it urges that in- stead of this their use should be encour- It aid, was enacted because it was supposed that the observation by pa- tients of their own sunken cheeks, pale- ness, etc., would cause depression of spir- its and thus prevent the cheerfulness that alds convalescence. We had never sus- ected the existence of a silly anti-morror and if it still exists in any hospital we trust the management will hasten to rescind it. There is far more than the satisfaction of vanity in the use of mir- rors, and they certainly contribute to cheerfulness instead of to melancholy.— American Medicine. % & TEXAS FIELDS| THE WORSHIPERS CHURGH AWAITS Psjaro Valley Edifice Will Be Dedicated To-Morrow. Catholic Congregation Rears Handsome Temple to Christianity. Special Dispatch to The Call. WATSONVILLE, July 25.—The new Pa- jaro Valley Catholic church will be dedi- cated next Sunday by Bishop Montgom- ery. The dedication services will com- mence at 10 o'clock. Before that hour the Bishop will be received in procession and conducted to the old church. Im- mediately after the dedication there will be solemn high mass. The Bishop will deliver the dedication sermon and there will be a short sermon in Portuguese. After mass the ladies of the parish will serve luncheon in the basement of the college to the parishioners and Visitors. At 3 o'clock the pigneer ramilles of the parish and former pupils, especially some | of the first who attended the asylum, will meet in the basement of the new church. They will be entertained by vocal and | fvstrumental music. Several addresses will be delivered by the clergy, the older members of the parish and by former pu- pils of the asylum. The Pajaro Valley congregation was founded in 1854 by the Rev. P. de Vos, 8. J., from Santa Clara College. The cor- nerstone for the first church of the con- gregation was_blessed by the same Fath- er de Vos on November 25, 1855. On May 2> of the following year the church was dedicated by Bishop Amat in the pres- ence of Vicar General P. Jose Gonzal2z Rubio of Santa Barbara and Rev. Fran- cis Mora, afterward Bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles. The land for the new church and ceme- tery, ten acres adjoining the lake called the Laguna Grande, about two miles‘ from Watsonville, was donated by Wil- liam Francis White and Eugene Kelley. Abcut the year 1870 Rev. A. Rousel es- tablished the present Pajaro Valley or St. Francis Orphan Asylum in connec- tion with the church. One hundred and thirty acres of land were*donated for this purpose, fifty acres by Prudenciana V. de Amesti and the rest by the daugh- ters of Mrs. Amesti. In 1874 the charge of the Pajaro Valley | parish and Orphan Asylum was given by Bishop Amat to the Franciscan Fathers of the old mission, Santa Barbara. Fath- ers Francisco Codina and Francisco San- chez and Brother Joseph O’Malley were sent from Santa Barbara to take charge of the asylum and the parish. When in the year J885 the Franciscan Fathers of the province of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of St. Louis, Mo., had | to take charge of the old mission, Santa | Barbara, they took also charge of the Pajaro Valley parish and Orphan Asy- lum. _ Father Victor was the first of the.| fathers from St. Louis stationed at the asylum with Father Codina. In October, 1886, Rev. Clementine Deymann took charge of the asylum and parish as su- perior and pastor. He remained in office until December 4, 189, when he died in Phoenix, Ariz. Since the death of Father Clementine Fathers Jacobus Nolte, Sera- phine Lampe and Placidus Krekeler acted as superiors and pastors. Fathers Her- man and Jose were assistants. The present superior of the asylum and pastor of the parish is Very Rev. Theo- dore Arentz, who is also commissary pro- vincial of the Franciscan Fathers in Cali- rnia and Phoenix, Ariz. His assistants re Rev. Antonjo Pedreira and Rev. Lam- bertus Brinkmoeller. The orphanage has _at present 240 boys. From the time of the foundation to the present time there have been about 3000 boys in the asylum. Many are expected to be present at the dedication. The new church was com- menced nearly a year®ago. It is a hand- some building and the interior is par- ticulary beautiful. OUR SLOW COUSINS ACROSS THE WATER Not Up toe the Use of Telepi:ones Even in Their Police Stations. About a year ago a gentleman residing In London, says The Outlook, finding that burglars had visited his house, rushed to the telephone to communicate with the olice. Imagine his consternation on learn- ng that there was no telephone in the police station. As the idea of using the telephone would never have occurred to a Londoner at home, this gentleman must have been a foreigner. The Spectator pre- sumes he then found on inquiry that the | correct thing to do under the circum- stances was to dispatch his butler to the station-house in a hansom, a good old custom dating from the reign of Queen Anne. At the time of the search for the Liverpool bank robber, Goudie, the po- licc were VEIg' much hampered by the fact that the Scotland Yard service is not et‘:llpped with the telephone. These aston- ishing conditions prevail in London f{o- day, the local police stations have no telephone connection whatever, either ‘with one another or the public. —_— Have you read “The Law and the Man,” or “The Fifth King,” or “Brooke’s Bungle,” or “Piano Leg Bill,” or “The Tame Coyote,” or “The Ter- ror Stone,” or “Siy’ Daphne’s Transgression,” or “Injun Steve,” or—no, of course mnot.

People who talk of the good old times 1d read these facts, compiled by E‘)‘ll’oo‘;aular Mechanics.” In the good old i Phere was not a public library in the ited States. Almost all the furniture was imported from England. ‘An old copper mine in Connecticut was used as a prison. There dwas inl hm;a hat factory, and t made cockes ats. e e contained a ffth of the whole population of the country. ‘man who jeered at the preacher or criticized the sermon was fined. Two stage codches bore all the travel between New York and Boston. °A day laborer considered himself well paid w{th 2 shillings a day. The whipping post and pillory were still standing in New York and Boston. Trousers were fastened with pegs or ces. IJ"’l‘l:e church collection was taken in a at the end of a pole, with a bell at- tached to arouse the sleepy contributors. e A Nest on a Moving Train, When a Lake Shore ore train arrived at the Sharon (Pa.) steel works the other day from Ashtabula one of the clerks discovered a bird’s nest above the truck of one of the cars and on the nest was a m!Iven ‘when t;e nest was taken into the office the bird was not frightened.

LONDON, July 2.—The announcement from Montreal that the Canadian Pacific Railway had, at the request of the Cana- dian Ministers now in London, offered to establish and work a weekly fast ser- vice between Quebec and Liverpool in the summer and between Halifax and Liver- pool in the winter, with good freight ser- vice, is causing considerable stir in¢Eng- land, where it is hailed with delight as being an offset to J. P. organ's com- bine. The evening papers have flaming cards, reading: ‘‘English Combination to Fight the American Trust,” etc. The officials of the Canadian Pacific Railroad here deny that they have any such intention; but they, as well as oth- ers, believe that the long desired Cana- dian fast freight service is approaching completion. The fact 1nd1caling this is the offer of the Canadian Pacific, made at the request of the Canadian Ministers now here, and they were fully aware of the conditions the Imperial Government is prepared to accede to. Lord Strath- cona and Mount Royal, the Canadian High Commissioner, in an interview to- day said: “While I am unable to add to the in- formation already published, the terms seem reasonable and probable. The mem- bers of the Dominion Government some months ago were authorized by the Ca- nadian Parliament to offer a subsidy of £150,000 for this purpese. So far as I know, this offer has not been increased. ‘The reported subsidy of £260,000 shows an advance over the original offer, but it has always been understood that Great Britain would supplement Canada’s offer, though I am not saying to what extent. One of the Canadian Pacific Railroad directors confirmed the report in every particular of the Canadian Pacific’'s offer to build and operate a subsidized line, and both he and others interested were confident that the object would be accom- lished. The chief requirements of the mperial Government would be that the steamers shall become auxiliary cruisers, the same as the Canadian Pacific Rail- road’s empress (Pacific) liners. The prin- cipal points on which the Canadian Gov- ernment will insist relate to refrigerat- ing plants, speed and cargo capacity. It is admitted on all sides that the present movement was hastened by, if it was not the immediate outcome, of the formation of the American shipping combine. Joseph Lawrence, member of Parlia- ment for the Monmouth district, has in- formed the Newport Chamber of Com- merce that Liverpool is practically cer- tain to be the terminal point of the new Canadian service. PAY DOWN YOUR MONEY AND CHOOSE YOUR KING For a Moderate Sum Most Men in England Can Have Royal Ancestors. Some years ago I had a little passage- at-arms with a_gentleman who was pre- pared to prove the royal descent of almost any man in_the street, for a payment of 513' down. When I hinted some doubt of his bona fides, he called upon me and showed, by a fairly plausible argument, that almost everybodi has royal blood in his veins, if he only knew it. When you remember, on the other hand, that you had two grandfathers and two grand- mothers, eight ancestors in the previous generation, sixteen in the generation be- fore that, and so on, and on the other, that as you go back the population of the country decreases—at the time of the con- quest it was probably not a tenth of what | it is now-you can easily see that the| present inhabitants of these islands coula not all be supplied with ancestors unless the same people were used over and over again. Each ancestor must, in fact, do dulg for so many descendants that the probability is that we all of us have a at many of them in common. That is y the majority of people have royal | progenitors somewhere in the dim vista of the past.—London Truth. e e REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. FRIDAY, JULY 25, Mary S.
