CYCLONE IN LOUISIANA A Penitentiary Building at t Baton Rouge Blown Down. Ten Convicts Killed and Thirty- six Injured. The first cyclone that has visited Louisiana in the memory of the living generation struck Baton Rouge at 6:30 o'clock on a re- cent morning, wrecked the steam tug Smoky City, demolished 100 houses, blew down the second and third stories of the penitentiary, killed ten convicts and wounded thirty-six others.

The second and third stories of the north wing were entirely demolished, The second story was used as a hospital and the manufactory of jeans clothing, and both were filled with prisoners, Ten of them were killed outrignt, viz: Whites. John Gibson, convicted of mur. dering Patrick Mealey, a prominent litician, and William Willow, of New Or- Isaac MeClelland, of Caleasien; J. A. Waggoner, the famous desperado of Clai- | borne; Fred. Cage, Ouchita; James Van Metter, Natchitoches. Colored. Nathan Chaney, East Feliciana, Henry Ceolestin, New Orleans; Beauregard Harden, Bossier; Edward Buckner, Caddo The five men fatally wounded are Melly O'Neil, Joe Vallere, Frank Arons, Henry McKay and Louis Claire, the Iatter also convicted of the Mealey murder, John Rhodus, a guard, was seated in a third-story window and was blown out, but the wind landed him gently on the ground. In ad- dition to the north wing the cell building was unroofed and partially destroyed, while the roof of the women's building was torn away Excepting the convicts, no one was killed, but J. H. Young and members of his family were seriously hurt by the collapsing of their house. Mrs. Cutting, a son and two daughters were painfully injured when their houses fell and a Mrs Colton received a dangerous blow on the back of the head and internal injures by the falling of a beam. Beyond these there were no serious casual ties in the town proper At the penitentiary after the passing of the wind the scene was heartrending. A mass of brick and heavy wooden bemuns covered scores of human beings, whose cries and groans were most sickening Relief came promptly. The fire alarm brought the entire department to the scene, and the un- injured convicts worked with strained vigor to rescue the entombed living and bring out the lacerated bodies of the dead. Forty prisoners were at work in the Jeans factory when the crash came. Of these six were killed and twenty-one wounded. In the hospital were twenty sick men. Four were instantly killed and fourteen badly wounded. A pouring rain followed the storm, and yet the workers labored manful. ly, and from the pile of mortar and the mound of brick the bodies were steadily ex- | cavated, until by 9 o'clock the full extent of the fatalities was known, The tugboat Smoky City, belonging to | Pittsburg, was lyin at her moorings five miles below Baton and her top works literally torn to pleces.

It is always safe for the disciples of Jesus to go where He goes, but it is not safe for Christians to go wherever other Chris tians or even ministers go, for it is to be feared that many, even among pastors, would lead their flocks into forbidden pas- tures. There no safe guide but Jesus, no way but His way, no Light but Himself, 8. “And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto Him, They have no wine." The revised version says, “When the wine failed.” Their need is going to draw forth His fullness; thelr emptiness will give an opportunity to glorify Him, It is even so still, and adways so; His strength fs made perfect in weakness. He only asks our nothingness. Wine is a symbol of joy, and even of the joys of the kingdom (Fs, civ, 15; dm, xxv, but the bride says in Cant, i, 2 “Thy love Is better than wine.” And as ¥ve drink more fully and more freely day by day at the fountain of His love we shall ind po lack of Joy in our dally life 4. “Jesus saith umto her, Woman, what have I todo with thee! Mine hour is not et come” There Is no unkindoess here, for He could not speak unkindly; neither is there any harshness, If we understood their customs better we would better understand their language, but let no Sunday school scholar even for ome moment tolerats the thought that Jesus could speak harshiy or unkindly to His mother. The last clause of the verse reminds us that He has an hour and a time for everything. He will do everything at the right time, not a moment too soon nor too late, and He will do it in the very best way. 6 “His mother maith unto the servants Whatsosver He saith unto you, do it.” His mother evidently understood Him to mean that He would see to it in due time and therefore instructed the servants eccord. ingly, Pharaoh sald unto the Egpytians, “Go unto Jowph; what he saith to you, do.” Jacobs wives said unto him, “Whats soover God hath sald unto thee, do” (Gen. xii, 8% xxxi, 16). If the question of our lives concerning everything was “What has the Lord mld” and our determination “That only will we db" how safely we would walk and how succesfully we would work 6, “And there were set there six water ts of stone, alter the manner of the puri ying of the Jews, containing two or three firking apiece.” It is evident from the next verse that these vossols were empty, and thus we are reminded of the kind of vessels which Jesus can ase. When the poor widow applied to the propiet for aid she was told to borrow of all ber neighbors empty vessels, and God filled every one which she obtained por did the oll stop till the last vessel was filled. When the three kings applied to the prophet for help in their difficulty they were to make the walley full of ditohes and without wind or rain they would be filled with water (II Kings iv, 3-6; ii. 18 1. To be willing to be empty, clean and always ready to the Master's band is to be where we will be of some use to Him; it is the privilege of every believer to be “a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and weet for the Master's use and prepared unto every good work™ (II Tim. ii, 2h, 7. “Jesus maith unto them, Fill the water wots with water, And they filled them up to the bri.” The servants were ready, the order was given and promptly obeyed, teady and prompt obedience is required of us and ought to be our constant habit £ “And He sith unto them, draw out now, and bear unto the vernor of the feast, And they bare iL” y very soon the Tomels, 0 recently receivers, become givers—and why not!
