The GAZETTE'S telegraphic dispatches have already announced the death of Miss Kate Field, who was a pleasing and interesting personality for several summers, while a resident here with 001. Whitman at Easthorwalk. She was a lady of unusual talent and varied accomplishments, and was most con- spicuous as an able and forceful lecturer and writer on current topics. The French Republic honored Miss Field in 1894 by making her an officer of Public Instruction, the highest dis- tinction for a Woman, in itsgift. O.“ Cyclones and Their Causes. Every year has its cyclone season, but this seems an (Xieptional cyclone year. Nearly every section of the Mrs- sissippi Valley has been visited by ter- rible rotary storms, that at St. Louis last Wednesday afternoon having proved more destructive to life and property than any of the others. simply because two cities were in its path in- stead of a series of farms and small villages. The appearance of two or three local tornadoes in Eastern Penn- sylvania and in Washington, shows that atmospheric conditions favorable to the development Of these whirlwinds, ex- tend even beyond the Mississipinal ley, although not to an equal extent. While it is true that cyclones have been exceptionally frequent this year, ' itiwould be unwise to jump to the con- allusion that atmospheric conditions ‘ fibuducive to the production of these sudden storms are of more frequent development than formerly. When cyclones swept uninhabited prairies there was 'nooody to be hurt and no telegraph to firs-h the news to all parts of the world if the cabin of a stray settler was demolished. The cy- clones grow more destructive each year chiefly because population increases and cities and towns have arisen in their path. The quick diffusion of the news brings the story of death and destruc- tion to every household. While it is probable that the seeming increase 'of destruction by atmospheric disturbances is due to an increase of population rather than an increase of storms, it is very desirable that some Way may be found of giving warning of the existence of conditions liable to the production of dangerous tornadoes. So far the Weather Bureau has con- fined itself to giving notice of the com- ing of ordinary storms, the rise and fall of temperature and other atmospheric changes’which can be traced and meas- ured, and yet it is safe to say that these unheralded and unlocked-for cyclonic disturbances work more havoc and ruin than all the gales, blizzards and frosts of a whole season. i The spirit of scientific research which has harnessed electricity to the service of man and made it possible to produce a picture of the skeleton of a living per- son should, if directedto the discovery of the atmOSpheric conditions product- . ive of tornadoes, lead to same practical results. Cyclones could not be prevent- ed, nor the exact locality of their de- velopment predicted, but it should be possible to warn the peOple of any given section of the existence of cy- clonic c inditions. and thus enable them to take all possible precautions for safety in a case a tornado should sud- denly develop. Much of the loss of life due to past cvclones could have been prevented had the victims been given BCYOSS five minutes.’ u mos of their approach. We be new: something practical in this direction is a possibility of the future, through a careful study of the known oonlitions- which usually precede the development of cyclones, GOD‘- Killed the Fatted Calf. Butcher Fred Smith has beaten the record for fatted calves. Last week be dressed a six week’s old calf raised by Deacon William Marvin of East Nor- walk that weighed 262 lbs. It was so fat that it' made even the butcher’s mouth water, to ”say nothing of the prodigal sons who were called in to see it. ' ’ ' -Graduation Exercises. Graduation exercises at Miss Baird’s Institute are to take place on the 9th inst, when her school will close fer the summer. . ’ “ A Delightful Entertainment. The song recital, given last evening under the auspices of the pupils of Mrs. Lillian Sherwood Newkirk, was one of functions enjoyed within the memory numbers rendered by Miss Sadie Miller Miss Rose Newcomb, Mrs. Newkirk, Mrs. Cito Hatch, Miss Agnes Gibbs, and Miss Vera Wood, were all‘ worthy of the best efforts of accomplished pro- fessionals, while the exquisite melody drawn from the mandolin by Mr. K. W. Mansfield, euraplured all with its sweetness. ’ At the conclusion of the delightful musical treat, light refreshments were served the two hundred and more guests. , In order to adapt the large numbers of friends, to the capacities of Mrs. Newkirk’s attractive home, the alphabet of names was divided in the middle and to-night a similar rich enjoyment is in store for the last half, commencing with names beginning with K, and end- ing with “zed.” _____<,,_.-__ “A- More Seeds. The GAZETTE is indebted to Senator Hawley for an invoice of this purposely delayed alotment of garden seeds and which have been dulydistributed as available for’ this fall’s or next spring’s planting. It is all the fault of the obstinate secretary of Agriculture that the government seeds are sent out so late as to be practically useless. ‘ .... Real Estate. The Commercial Record credits Ner- walk with eight 'real estate sales last week and mortgages to the amount of 35,150. For the corresponding week last year there were live sales. — cu SHORT SALAD RECIPES. ‘3 .H..,..._...._.« 5;: tiig‘. f COLD potatoes cut in dice and laid on a. bed of lettuce can be covered with cream dressing.

THE lime produced in 1891 was esti- mated at 60,000,000 barrels, equal to one to each inhabitant, male and fe- male, old and young, and was valued at $35,000,000. IN 1890 the United States produced 832,845,000 of gold. Of this total a. lit- tle over two-fifths came from Cali- fornia, which is still the principal gold- producing state. -. __-_.. ... .¢.._ Price List of Chamberlain’s Medicines.
