ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. 11.—
Telegraphic communication Is now
open, and railroad cennections will
probably be restored to-day. No lives
were Jost iu Atlantic City, nor was any
serious destruction wrought there by
the storm, except along the beach.
The greater portion of the boardwalk
and most of the structures along it
were damaged or destroyed, and at one
{ime pearly the whole of the city was
flooded by the high tides, Early yes-
ierday morning Lee's Ocean Terrace
oroperty, alrezdy damaged by the
waves, was destroyed by fire, The
restoration of railroad communication
will bring great relief to the people at
:he seaside, as provisions are beginning
:o run short. A number of yachts are re-
ported to have been wrecked in the
:horoughfares and creeks at Atlantic
ity. It 1s learned that at Sea Isle
City two hotels and about a dozen cot-
tages were swept away, and some of
the cottages were fooded to their third
stories. Efforts are being made to re-
pair the railroad so as to get provisions
to the place. Reports of destruction
and damage to property come from all
portions of the New Jersey and Long
Island Coasts, but the only serious loss
of life is reported in Delaware Bay.

How the Dark Eyed Beauties Make
Themselves Look Fascinating.
The traveler througli Spain sees the
young girle, anywhere, as beautiful as
angels, They are tall, straight as an
arrow, with the most perfect figure,
and with faces which for a dark, ten-
der, sad beauty are unexampled. The
magnificent hair always clean, always
combed, always marvelously dressed,
with the inevitable flower In it, is alike
the distinguishing mark of the poorest
as well as the richest Spanish woman,
In this respect the Spanish woman is
unlike any other, Even Italy, the sis-
ter peninsula, so closely connected with
Spain in the past—Italy has no such
distinction. The Italian peasant does
not take such care of her halr, nor does
the Italian Jady manifest the pride, the
neatness, the coquetry of fresh Sowers,
as does the Spaniard. That beautiful
undulating hair, so blue black, with
a rose hidilen in its tremses—it is the
