FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 10, 1900.
The Philosophy of Nietzsche.
In the death of Frederick Nietzsche,
the German philosopher, the world
loses a figure highly interesting if only
from the fact that his life was a typical
paradox, lie was a genuine eccentric,
a man in whom the line of demarcation
between genius and insanity was so
lightly drawn that the former was
swallowed up in the latter, and the un
fortunate man spent the latter days of
his life in a lunatic asylum.
Nietzsche's philosophy was of the
negative kind, a kind not very much in
vogue those days. He has been ac
cused of being a man of inordinate
vanity, and liis writings have been sub
poonaed to give evidence in behalf of
the accusation. But the probability is
that Nietzsche bad such a strong per
sonality that he was compelled to use
the personal pronoun in his works to a
far larger extent than the general cus
tom with philosophers. lie was ex
tremely conservative, as is shown by
his attacks on tlds, that and the other
modern tiling. His book assailing Wag
ner is one of the best known of his
writings, and it must be confessed that
In tliis he betrayed strong personal
prejudices.
Nietzsche carried the doctrine of the
survival of the littest to an extreme
bordering indeed 011 the absurd, lie
claimed that it was wrong for society
to found hospitals, asylums and poor
bouses. lie declared that the proper
tiling to do was to let the weakest go to
the wall without attempting in any
way to remove or mitigate their weak
nesses. He even said that it was wrong
for physicians and surgeons to inter
fere with the course of nature and
that those who could not of themselves
recover from an illness or an injury
should die.
It was indeed a strange freak of des
tiny that the man who promulgated
such doctrines should himself spend
years in an institution the very exist
ence of which he had denounced. The
probability is that bis philosophy has
died with him.
A Chicago dispatch says that here
after 110 boy who smokes cigarettes
will be employed in tlio post office of
that city. Formerly the rule was mere
ly that tlie boys employed in the post
office could not smoke during working
hours. It has now been decided that
"all cigarette smoking by the boys in
the office must cease and that no boy
who is addicted to the habit could get
a place in the future." This may or
may not be just to the young aspirants
for places in the Chicago postoffice, but
it Is a condition which confronts them.
They must give up the places or the
cigarettes. Justly or otherwise there
is a strong prejudice among employing
business men all over the country
against giving places to cigarette
smoking boys. The boy whose lingers
are stained yellow by burned rice pa
per and tobacco Is pretty apt to get
turned down at about every place
where be makes application for a posi
tion. The boys may insist that ciga
ratte smoking doesn't hurt them. We
are not here arguing the question
whether it does or it does not, but just
calling attention to a condition. The
question for the boys to decide is
whether they will give up the ciga
rettes or lose opportunities for employ
ment.
The superior court of Pennsylvania
has rendered a decision against ticket
scalpers. The dictum of the court Is
in accord with a decision filed in Phila
delphia 20 years ago upholding the con
stitutionality of the act of 1.803 pro
hibiting scalping, but is couched In
terms calculated to destroy all hope of
assailing successfully tlie plain intent
of the legislature of Pennsylvania to
protect the rights of railway companies
and to defend passengers from Imposi
tion in the illegitimate traffic in rail
way tickets. The decision does not, of
course, assail the position of one inno
cently selling an unused portion of a
ticket bought in good faith, but it does
antagonize a business which the legis
lature has said is "prolific of fraudu
lent results."

Houston, Sept. 10.—Late reports re
ceived here indicate that the city of Gill
vestou is entirely submerged. A relief
train sent to the city was able to get only
to Hitchcock, which is within six miles
of Virginia City, a suburb. The coast
was found strewn with corpses, wreck
age, pianos and household furniture Two
hundred bodies were seen. The water is
15 feet deep in Virginia City, and this
fact causes the gravest apprehension.
Virginia City is 011 Galveston bay, and
with the water at that height the island
uiid the city of Galveston would be en
tirely submerged. The loss of life (esti
mated) is placed at from 2,000 to 4,000.
Mil nun I.aid WiiHtc.
A train came in on the Columbia Tap
railroad late last night, anil its crew
tell a story of death and desolation
through the country which they passed.
Conductor Ferguson states that houses,
barns, crops and orchards have been de
stroyed, and great damage has been done.
A. L. Forbes, postal clerk, reported
that at Oyster creek the train crew and
passengers heard cries coining out of a
mass of debris. Several persons answer
ed the cries and found a negro woman
fastened under n roof. They pulled her
out, and she informed her rescuers that
there were others under the roof. A
further search resulted in the finding of
nine dead bodies, ail colored persons.
When the train arrived at Angleton,
all the churches, the jail and a number
of houses had been blown down. Three
fatalities are kuown to have occurred at
Angleton, but the train stopped there
only a few minutes, and the number kill
ed .or their names could not be learned.
At Angleton the conductor decided to re
turn to Houston, so the extent of the
damage beyond Angleton is not known.
On the return trip the crew saw the
debris of dozens of demolished houses.
At Sandy Point several persons were
badly injured, but 110 fatalities were re
ported.
At Areola a family named Wofford had
gathered in the second story of their
house. The tipper portion of the house
was blown away, and Mr. Wofford's
mother was instantly killed.
The huriVane was particularly severe
at Brookshire. 27 miles west of Hous
ton, on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad. Four dead bodies have been
taken from the debris of wrecked houses,
and it is believed that others have been
killed. It is reported that only four
houses are left standing in Brookshire,
which had a population of 000 people.
The names of the dead at Brookshire can
not be learned.
Later reports received from Alvin
state that many persons were killed
there. Eleven bodies have been recov
ered.
At Sea brook Mrs. Jane Woodstock
was killed by a failing house, Mrs. Nick
elson and Louis Broquet were drowned,
and J. K. Mellhenny, wife and daugh
ter and Mrs. Leroy and two children
are missing. They are known to have
been in their cottages which were de
stroyed. The dead body of a sailor was
found under a cottage.
At Brazoria six people were killed by
falling houses or were drowned, includ
ing George Duff, son of Hon. J. F. Duff.
Judge Duff was himself severely injur
ed. Reports state that only the court
house and two other bluildings are stand
ing there.
A report from Chenango says that eight
people were killed.
Saw 150 Dead Bodies.
Among the passengers who arrived
here on a relief train from. Galveston is
Benjamin W. Dew, an attache of tlie
Southern Pacific. Dew had been nt Vir
ginia point for several hours and said
that he saw 150 dead bodies Hunting out
011 the beach at that place.
Conductor Powers reported that 25
corpses had been recovered by the life
saving crew, many of them women; that
the crew had reported that many bodies
were floating, and they were using every
endeavor to get them all out of the water.
The water swept across tlie island, and it
is presumed that most of these were Gal
veston people, though none of them lias
been Identified.
One of the refugees who came in on tlie
relief train and who had a sad experience
was S. W. Clinton, an engineer at the
fertilizing plant at tlie Galveston stock
yards. Mr. Clinton's family consisted of
his wife and six children. When his
house was washed away, lie managed to
get two of his little boys safely to a raft,
and' with them he drifted helplessly
about. His raft collided with wreckage
of every description and was split in two,
and lie was forced to witness the drown
ing of his sons, being unable to help them
in any way. Mr. Clinton says parts of
the city are seething masses of water.
Mr. Jennings, a slater by trade, got to
the mainland in about the same manner
us Clinton. After losing his wife ho set
out and by swimming and drifting
around reached tlie mainland.
William Smith. *a boy about 18 years
old, whose home is in west Texas, had a
narrow escape. Young Smith was blown
off the docks and came ashore in the
driftwood. Despite the difficulty he ex
perienced in keeping uiloat he held out to
the end and readied the shore safe and
sound. A. England and his wife of Tex
as City, who were on the relief train, re
port that the whole of that town is blown
iway, and n number of lives were lost.
l'hore were six women known to Mr.
England who were drowned, and he is
satisfied that many others lost their
lives.
The Dnmagre Widespread.
At Walter half the houses in the town
wore demolished. The South Texas Bap
tist college is liadly damaged, and the
sehoolhouso is a wreck.
Not a house in the town of Chappell
Hill escaped damage, and many were
demolished. Business houses also suf
fered, and a fine gin is a complete wreck.
At Brcnham the courthouse was near
ly wrecked and the city hall completely
so. Every business and residence house
suffered to a greater or less extent. The
fire apparatus is under the ruins of the
city ball, and a guard is maintained foi
fire duty.
At Gustou stores were unroofed and
residences destroyed. At Rock Island
the Baptist church was totally wrecked
and several residences unroofed.
At Eagle Lake the damage amounts to
$250,0(10 to the rice and cotton crops and
to residences.
At Alt air fruit trees were blown out
of the ground and residences leveled.
At Rosenberg, in addition to the dam
age to residences, the opera house and
the Baptist church were wrecked. Sev
eral persons were injured, Mrs. Coots,
an aged lady, probably fatally. Three
persons were killed in the country near
here.
Many houses were unroofed at Lexing
ton and their contents ruined by the rain.
Forty-two dwelling houses were wreck
ed at Wallis.
At Fulshcar 50 houses were blown
down. One person was killed near the
town by a falling house.
In Hardin county a large amount of
timber was blown down, and there was
much damage to property at Village
Mills. No damage was done at Corpus
Christi or Itockport, at the lower coast.
At Richmond three negroes were killed
by the collapse of a church, ami throe
Others were killed near there. One also
was killed at Booth.
Superintendent TlminlnM' Story.
Thrilling details of the great damage
done by the hurricane in Galveston were
given by James C. Tinunins, superin
tendent of the National Express compa
ny. Mr. Timmiiis, after great effort, suc
ceeded in making bis way to Ibis city.
When be bad recovered somewhat from
the fatigue of bis journey, be told of the
terrible conditions in Galveston. lie was
there during the hurricane and after
ward boarded a schooner and went across
the bay to Morgan's Point, whence he
took a train to this city.
The city, Mr. Timmins says, is a com
plete wreck, so far as lie could see from
the water front and from the Tremont
hotel. Water was carried over the is
land by the hurricane, the wind blowing
at the rate of 80 miles an hour straight
from the gulf and forcing the water be
fore it in big waves.
He thinks that more than 1,000 peo
ple have been drowned, killed or missing
and that 4,000 houses have been destroy
ed. He says the magnitude of the dis
aster remains to be told.
The gale was a steady one, striking
the city about 5 o'clock Saturday and
continuing without intermission until
midnight Sunday night, when it abated
somewhat, although it continued to blow
ull night.
Of his own knowledge Mr. Timmins
knew of only one house succumbing with
fatal results, though he heard of many
residences being carried away with in
mates. The house that he saw destroyed
was Bitter's saloon and restaurant at
21(H) Strand street, a principal thorough
fare of the city.
This three story building was blown
down, and nine men, prominent citizens,
were killed.
Among the dead are Charles Kelmer,
Sr., a cotton buyer for an English firm;
Stanley ('. Spencer, general manager of
the Elder Dempster steamship line; Rich
ard Lord, manager for McFadden's Cot
ton company, whose body is still in the
ruins, and Secretary Bailey of the Wharf
company. Several waiters and customers
saved themselves by jumping from the
upper story just before the crush came.
Asylum and Hospital Destroyed.
It was reported that the orphan asy
lum and both the hospitals were destroy
ed, and if this proves true the loss of
life will be great, as these institutions
were generally crowded, and as they
were substantial buildings the chances
are that many had taken refuge in them.
The water extended qcross the island.
Mr. Tinunins said it was three feet deep
in the rotunda of the Tremont hotel and
was six feet deep in Market street.
Along 1 he water front the damage was
great. The roofs had been blown from
all the elevators, and the sheds along the
wharfs were either wrecked or had lost
their sides and were of no protection to
the contents.
Most of the small sailing craft were
wrecked and were either plied up on the
wharfs or floating bottom up in the bay.
There is a small steamship ashore three
miles north of Pelican island, but Mr.
Timmins could not distinguish her*name.
She was flying a British flag.
Another big vessel has been driven
ashore at Virginia point, and still an
other is aground at Texas City. At the
south point of Hudson island an unknown
ship lies in a helpless condition.
The lightship that marks Galveston
bar is hard and fast aground at Bolivar
point.
Mr. Timmins and the men with him
on the schooner rescued two sailors from
the middle bay who had been many hours
in the water. These men were foreign
ers, and he could gain no information
from them.
The wreck of a vessel which looked like
n large steam tug was observed just be
fore the party landed.
In the bay the carcass*s of almost 200
horses and mules were seen, but no hu
man bodies were visible.
GalveMton Entirely Snhmergred.
The scenes during the storm, Mr. Tim
mins said, could not be described. Wo
men mid children were crowded into the
Tremont hotel, where he was seeking
shelter, and all night these unfortunates
were bemoaning their losses of kindred
and fortune. They were grouped about
the stajrwa.vs and in the galleries and
rooms of the hotel.
What was occurring in other parts of
the city be could only conjecture. The
city of Galveston, he says, is now entire
ly submerged and cut off from communi
cation.
The boats are gone, the railroads can
not be operated, and the water is so high
people cannot walk out byway of the
bridge across the hay even should that
bridge be standing.
Provisions will be badly needed, as a
great majority of the people lost all tliey
had. The waterworks power house was
wrecked, and a water famine is threat
ened, as the cisterns were all ruined by
the overflow of the salt water. This Mr.
Timmlns regards as the most serious
problem to bo faced now.
The citv is in darkness, the electric
plant having been ruined. There is no
way of estimating the property damage
at present.
So far as he could see or hoar Mr. Tim
niiiis says the east end part of the city,
which is the residence district, bus been
Practically wiped out of existence.
In the west end, which faces the gulf,
on another section of the island, much
havoc was done.
The beach has been swept clean, the
bathhouses are destroyed, and many of
the residences are total wrecks.
THREE THOUSAND LOST.
That la Knt limited IIM llie Fatalities
In Gulf Cities.
New Orleans, Sept. 10.—Advices re
garding the awful effects of the storm
which has been raging along the gulf
coast of Texas are just beginning to ar
rive, mid the story they tell is fraught
with horror.
First in importance is the news that
Galveston was struck by a tidal wave
and that the loss of life there was be
tween 2.500 and 3,000.
The water is 15 feet deep over Virginia
point.
Every effort I s being made out of New
Orleans to get telegraphic or cable com
munication with the wrecked city, but to
little avail. One message has been re
ceived fixing the loss of life at 2.0(H). It
tame by cable from Vera Crfiz and was
later confirmed in a general way.
Great damage and considerable loss of
life is reported along the Hue of the Mis
souri. Kansas and Texas railroad. There
is much anxiety about Sabine Pass and
Port Arthur. The last news received
from Sabine Pass was to the effect that
the town was entirely surrounded by wa
ter. The storm had not then reached its
height nor had the tidal wave couie
which is reported to have swept over
Galveston.
However, at the time the last report
was sent out the people, \vere fleeing to
the highlands for safety, and it is hoped
that they found refuge in time.
Port Arthur is not so exposed to the
waves as Sabine, but the damage there is
believed to have been great.
Telegraph wires are down to Port La
vaca, Rockport, Aransas Pass, Corpus
Christi and Brownsville on the lower
coast, and grave fears are entertained re
garding the safety of the inhabitants of
those towns.
DEMOCRATIC SLATE.
Nomination F(>p Governor Will Prob
ably Go to John 11. Stanehfield.
Saratoga. Sept. 10. For governor,
John B. Stanehfield of Chemung; for
lieutenant governor, William F. Maekey
of Erie; for secretary of state, John T.
Norton of Rensselaer; for attorney gen
eral, George M. Palmer of Schoharie; for
state treasurer, Guy H. Clark of Madi
son; for comptroller, Martin Glynn of
Albany.
This is the latest work of the slate
makers. There is as much probability of
it being entirely changed by the time the
convention meets us there is that it will
be put through. It is fairly well estab
lished that Mr. Stanehfield will be an
nounced as the Croker-Murphy candidate
and that Senator Mueke.v can have sec
ond place if he will take it. He declares
he will not.
The platform will not be so lengthy as
the Republican document, but will still
be quite long. It will indorse the Kansas
City platform, make a special allusion to
the anti-imperialist plank, call for the
absolute repeal of the Ramapo water act,
call attention to the implied purchase of
the election in this state and demand that
decent citizens vote against the Repub
licans, who would debauch the ballot; in
dorse the Democratic national ticket and
declare that the party in New York will
work in harmony for its election, call at
tention to alleged interference by a Re
publican state government in the affairs
of municipalities like New York and
Syracuse, deprecate the alleged misuse
of canal improvement money, claim that
the low tax rate of the Republicans is
not 1111 indication of the real facts, be
cause in six years the expenses of the
state government have increased .S!UMMi,-
000; criticise the taking away from may
ors of cities the right to appoint transfer
tax appraisers so as to obtain more state
patronage.
It was said last night with some show
of authority that Senator Hill will make
the speech in the convention placing Mr
Coler in nomination.
Roosevelt Goes to Minnesota.
Chicago, Sept. 10.—Yesterday was

Nine Explorers Killed.
Chicago, Sept. 10.—A dispatch to The
Chronicle from Ilermosilln, Mexico, says:
"Nine of the dozen members of the Wells
expedition which left Guaynias last June
to explore Tortugas have been slain by.
the cannibals on thnt island. The three
men who escaped did so only after a
fierce fight to reach one of their boats.
The Wells expedition was fitted out by
Mr. Wells of Hermosillo to explore the
island of Tortugas in the gulf of Cali
fornia. The expedition left Gunymas in
a sloop last June. The Wells expedition
landed on the north const of the island
in July and for three days was unmolest
ed. The explorers had erected several
strong huts which they planned to use
as forts in case of attack."
Cunt minim Tannery Destroyed.
Altmar, N. Y., Sept. 10.—Fire broke

at any rate' before the arrival of Count
von Wuldersee at Tien-tsin. Germany
seeing to have introduced a new compli
cation by endeavoring to organize some
kind of offensive movement in the prov
ince of Chi-li.
From the plentiful crop of conflicting
rumors, both as regards the actual posit
tion of affairs in China and the diplo
matic aspects in Europe, it is next to im
possible to extract any definite fact. A
Washington special talks of a move
ment among the powers to appoint Sir
Robert Ilart as the European representa
tive in negotiations with China.
According to the Shuughai correspond
ent of The Times, Li Hung Chang is
awaiting the imperial edict appointing
additional negotiators. Belated dispatch
es to The Times from Peking say that
the court fled on the morning of Aug. 14
by the west gate while the Japanese
were shelling the east gate. The inten
tion of the court was not to proceed to
Sian-fu, in the province of Shensi, but to
turn north to Jehol ami to remain there
awaiting events. No high officials ac
companied the court except Prince Ching.
Karl IJI'M l'alace Sacked.
In the apportionment of the city to the
control of the different nations the Amer
icans, in ignorance of what was being
done, permitted a rectification of the
French quarter, adjoining the American,
which transferred from American to
French possession Prince Li's palace,
the richest in Peking, stocked with treas
ures worth millions of dollars.
Dispatches frojn Shanghai say that 300
men of the Sixth United States cavalry
defeated (500 Boxers who had arrived
with spears and swords at Hunting
park, 11 miles from Peking. Thirty
Boxers were killed, ami many were tak
en prisoners. The flags of the enemy
and a large quantity of weapons were
captured.
On Sept. 1 the Japanese and Germans
were pushing troops from Tien-tsin to

On the same date an imperial gimd
secretary and member of the tsung-li-ya
men, whose name is given as Ives, which
is not intelligible, conferred with Sir
