WHAT WOMEN READ.
News a Matter of Less Importance
Than the Advertisement Columns.
With the average woman reader of the
daily newspaper, almost every part, ex
cept the news columns, contains the mat
ter which attracts her attention first.
This does not mean that women do not
teep posted on news matters, both do
mestic and foreign.
Yesterday's Mousing News may truly
be said to have been a woman's paper; it
■was replete with advertisements and
news of bargain sales. Advertisers who
cater to the ladies’ trade may always be
certain of a liberal patronage, if the “ad’’
is written to attract the seeker after bar
gains. All women read some of
the advertisements, and some read all
of them, and they are often ani
mated calendars of everything that is on
the market and what it sells for. In this
respect many women would make good
stork and bond brokers, for they are
quick to note a price, always remember it
ami readily record in memory the changes
in the market price of every article for
which they have any use.
The word bargain is a gay and jaunty
eye-catcher, and few women can resist it.
They know what is on the bargain
counter before they reach it, and were it
not sometimes for a desire to conduct a
little preliminary examination they could
readily ask the clerk for what they want
at once.
But the bargain ad is not alone in its
patronage. It has an equally fortunate
fellow in the cheap column “ad," which
is often, to many women readers, of equal
Interest with the society column.
The “cheap” column is a dictionary of in
formation and it indicates a great many
things that it does not tell plainly. Every
body can tell whether or not her neigh
bor s servant is missing, and obtain some
pretty good hints as to who is going to
move. The want column Is
often eagerly scanned and if
a woman once pets an important
hint from it or reads anything that turns
out to her advantage nothing can induce
her to omit its perusal in reading the
paper. The boarding housekeeper, who
has an eye to business, never overlooks it,
aud if a boarder Wants a half dozen
places to select from, an ad in the want
column brings prompt responses.
Amusement “ads”*are never overlooked
by the woman reader. She can toll you
just what plays are at the theater for the
week, how many nights they play, what
the plays will be, and whether or not
there will be a matinee. The amusement
column is an important factor in the
woman reader's daily education.
(hie woman tells it of another that she
asks for the paper at times just long
enough to read the marriage and death
notices, and another was overheard to
say:
There's a woman at our house who
reads everything in the paper; at least,
she reads all of the advertisements. She
knows what ships are to sail and what
ours are due; just what plays are at the
theater and how long they will stay;
sin- knows which store has a cloak sale
and which one a linen sale, and where
shoes are advertised the cheapest.
Perhaps we don’t read advertisements
at our house as much as wo would if she
wasn't there, for we can ask her what’s
on salo and where to get it and she can
always tell us.”
Whether a woman wants what is ad
vertised or not is often a matter of sec
ondary importance. It is often from a
general curiosity or desire to know what
there is to be had. what opportunities
are offered and what other
people are doing. Hut there
is some philosophy in reading the ad.
columns after all. If anything is adver
tised at one place cheaper than it can be
had at another, and it is just as good,
common sense teaches the purchaser to
go there and buy it. It is one of the du
ties of tne good housekeeper to keep
posted, and the ads are a good field for
study. Perhaps the prospective house
keeper, too, is led by a sense of future
duties to be posted when the time arrives
for her to assume them.
And the society column—but it is use
less to say anything about that feature.
The woman who docs not read that is—
well, she is hard to find.

A DESTRUCTIVE WHIRLWIND
Crosses Indian River Monday and
Does Some Damage.
From the Titusville (Fla.) Star.
Following the rainfall of Monday morn
ing. during which the wind was almost
due south, there came a sudden change
and a shift to the west and northwest,
and the wind just howled right here in
town while further to the south of us it
must have been terrific, to judge from its
effects iu several places.
The sloop Rosalind, of Cocoa, was on
her way up the river, and was iust this
side of the beacon off Addison Point, run
ning under her jib before the wind. On
board were her owner, Mr. Bob Hardee,
his father, Mr. Allen W. Hardee, and
Mr. F. Powell of Cocoa and Rockledge.
They had left home with a supply of pro
visions for a two or three days’ cruise,
and expected to make Titusville. Just as
this squall struck the Rosalind she had
been headed into the wind, and the big
jib partially lowered, but the sudden
gust of wind caught in the folds
of the cloth, and before it could be
stowed away tlie boat had lurched side to
the wind and the effects of the heavy
wind pressure on the sail caused the boat
to caroen until she capsized, and the jib
was torn into shreds. After taking in
the embarrassing position they were now
in, the three men finally succeeded in
getting the smaller spars unfastened from
the sail and by fioatiug upon these spars
drifted to shallow water on the west shore
where they could touch bottom, the wind
veering more to the northward and east
ward after the whirlwind had passed
over.
They also succeeded in getting the
anchor overboard and this kept the yacht
in place until she was righted up the next
day. They lost all their provisions also
their guns, and bedding, etc., and when
they arrived in town were almost be
numbed with cold.
The whirlwind struck Merritt’s Island
in the neighborhood of Mr. Seabrook
Sams’ place. He said that the heaviest
wind iu the October gale was nowhere
compared to it. About twenty yards of
rail fence was destroyed for him, and the
wind picked up bodily some pens he had
about his orange trees and carried them
over the tops of the trees without injur
ing the trees a particle.
The whirlwind reached Canaveral
about 2:30 p. m. There it blew down the
supply house near the site .of the new
lighthouse, and injured three men
severely who were under the building at
the time. This building was previously
blown down during t'ne October gale and
had been put up again but was not fully
enclosed.
A workman by the name of Hitchcock
had his leg broken just above the ankle
joint; Supt. J. R. Mew sustained quite a
severe injury to his arm, while a man by
the name of Chandler was badly 7 bruised
internally by being pinioned under the
fallen house, from which position he could
not be extricated until the fallen timbers
had been raised up. Mills Cottrell and
Will Praetorious started immediately for
this place for medical assistance, arriving
here about 3 o'clock Tuesday morning and
carried Dr. Wills back immediately. Un
til the doctor returns it is pot known the
extent of the injuries to these three men.
as Cottrell and Praetorious left immedi
ately after the accident when everything
was excitement.
GRABS THOUGHT AS IT FLIES.
Clever Tricks By Miss Maud Lan
caster of London.
From the New York Times.
There is a young Englishwoman at the
St. James hotel, who is either the great
est sleight-of-hand performer on earth, or
else a mind-reading wonder beside whom
Washington Irving Bishop and the rest
were clumsy apprentices.
The young woman's name is Miss
Maud Lancaster, and she hails from
London.
Last night she gave a private exhibition
of her powers incite of the parlors at the
St. James. When she had finished, the
audience, made up of newspaper men.
Dr. Cyrus Edson, of the health hoard;
Dr. Wynkoop, and a number of other
skeptical persons, were utterly dum
founded and uuable to account for the re
markable performance on any other
ground than the possession on Miss Dan
caster's part of a psychological power
that is incomprehensible. Under the cir
cumstances surrounding her performance,
charlatanry was apparently out of the
question, and the things accomplished by
her had to bo taken as evidence of a most
mysterious psyehic force.
All the so-called mind-reading feats ac
complished in the past, however myste
rious and bewildering they might appear,
have been accounted for by investigators
on the ground that it was not mind, but
muscle reading. The performer would
be in personal contact with the individual
whose mind it was supposed he was read
ing. A hidden pin would be located by
the blindfolded mind by the involuntary
twitching of the muscles in the hand of
the person who had hidden it as the
place of secretion was approached. A
very delicate physical organization would,
therefore, account for nearly, if not all,
the mind-reading phenomena exhibited iu
the past by Bishop and others.
But Miss Lancaster does not apparently
require personal contact in her perform
ance. She asks a room full of people to
concentrate their minds, and coming
blindfolded into the apartment, she
passes her hands through the air, touches
a jx.-rson hero and there, and then finds a
yl suffering with

card that has been hidden away, and
reads its fat*, without oven putting her
hands on it; finds a pin that has been
carefully secreted; reads the number of a
bank note.
This new mind reader is a very slender
young person, not at all handsome, but
gifted with a pair of great, dark, liquid
eyes that almost transform her severely
plain face. She looks ascetic, and speaks
w ith a peculiar far-away 7 intonation, as if
she did not see the people in front of her
even when the cloth which she wears tie
fore her eyes so much is removed. Her
arms, bare to the elbows, are so delicate
that they seem almost transparent, and
her long, white hands are apparently a
mass of tender nerves. They move in
cessantly iu a sloyv. rythmic, graceful
maimer, and seem to be mediums through
which she first feels the thought-waves
that come from the people in the room.
The performance last night was ar
ranged in the shape of a programme con
taining six numbers. In her peculiar
voice she first explained to the people
who had been summoned to meet her her
method of “thought transfer,” as she
called it, without personal contact,
“If some lady or gentlemen will hide a
pin somewhere after i withdraw, I will
return aud find it,” she said.
In company with two of the spectators
she left the room, and at a given signal
she returned blindfolded. The pin had
been hidden in the underside of a mantel
lambrequin by a newspaper man. Miss
Lancaster gently waved her hands in the
air, passed in front of the people seated
on either side of the room, and with
slight hesitation, she went directly to the
mantel. Here she hovered for some time
as if in doubt, but finally she pulled out
the pin amid general applause.
Miss Lancaster withdrew again under
proper escort, and the company selected
a lady 7 and gentleman to whom the mind
reader was to present bouquets of flowers
which had been prepared. A. H. Hum
mel, the lawyer, made the selection, fix
ing on Mrs. Cyrus Edson as the recipient
of a bunch of pinks, and on a reporter as
the recipient of a white rose. Miss Lan
caster came in blindfolded as before,
picked the pinks from the table, and,
after walking half way round the room
once, she retraced her steps and, after
gently touching Mrs. Edson’s l head, she
presented the flowers to her. The white
rose was handed to the reporter chosen
with even greater rapidity. The young
woman bowed as every one applauded,
and, removing the cloth from her eyes,
she said:
“Now I will find stolen jewelry. If
some lady or gentleman will take a pieceof
jewelry from someone in the room, I will
find it and restore it to the owner.”
Dr. Edson was selected after Miss
Lancaster had retired. He took an emer
ald ring from tiie finger of Dr. G. W.
Weld, and hid it in the plush of a settee
in the room. Within a few minutes after
her reappearance Miss Lancaster had
found the ring.
Then a peculiar thing occurred. Dr.
Weld had unconsciously changed seats
with a lady who sat beside him. No one
in the room had noticed this, but the
mind-reader was evidently influenced.
After some hesitation, and groping
around, she finally placed the ring on the
finger of the lady. Thorp was a murmur
of dissent which showed tlie mind-reader
that she had made a mistake. Again she
began her groping, gently swaying to and
fro and feeling the air incessantly. She
came back to the lady and placed the
ring on her linger again, then drew it off
again, and then, suddenly taking hold of
Dr. Weld, she slipped the ling on his
finger.
One of the reporters took the ace of
spades out of a pack of cards aud hid it in
the pocket of another reporter. Miss
Lancaster returned blindfolded, deter
mined where the card was, and then,
without taking it out of tlie reporter’s
pocket, she said slowly: “It is the ace of
spades. ”
She repeated this trick twice. She also
read the number of a bank note which
was held by Police Capt. O’Connor
without touching the captain or the note.
Then she picked out blindfolded one of
nine knives that had been used in the
commission of a mock murder during her
absence from the room, selected tha
murderer from the audience, picked out
the murdered man, who was Francis St.
George Howe, the railroad contractor,
and illustrated exactly the manner in
which the killing had been done, by bend
ing Mr. Howe's head back and drawing
the knife across his throat.
SCRAP PILE OF THE SEA.

From the Age of Steel.
The annual loss of ships at sea, in spite
of improved methods in shipbuilding and
the higher rate of security that follows,
is more appalling than is generally sup
posed. The annual amount of tonnage
turned out of the ship-yards of maritime
nations makes a huge total and would
probably Oe sooner or later out of busi
ness were it not for the accidents and
disasters that are daily making driftwood
of sailing ships and scrap iron of steam

Lloyds and recently published in Ixmdon
show that during lust your the gross ton
nage of steamships alone lost aggregated
257,048 tons. This tonnage does not in
clude ships of Uss than 10U tons.
There were 135 steam vessels of all na
tionalities, that by one form of disaster
or mother went off the list. Of these,
th ■ United Kingdom supplied 105, having
a gross tonnage of H4.74ti tons, represent

“There Is hardly a man or a woman In
America who does not feel that the depre
ciation and declining valuation of all kinds of
property has necessitated and will continue
to cause economy lor years to come."
This remark was made by a leading Ameri
can bunker, in conversation with the writer.
This economy must extend, not only to
luxuries, but to many other things. It in
cludes the necessities of life and the require
meats of health. When men or women are
weak and depressed, or hate the first symp
toms of a cold, of a sickness, let it be pneu
monia or any other disease, they can and
should save a probable large future expense
b/ counteracting instantly the tlrst symptoms
of such troubles. If people feel a chill, they
should at once take some stimulant to over
come it. In this way they will not only save
expense, but possibly a long illness, which
might ensue did they not take measures to
prevent Nothing can so quickly, so certainly
accomplish this as the great medicinal Whin
