Awful Sight From That Drendfnl Complaint, Infantile Eczema-Mother Praises Catlcura Remedies. , "Our baby had that dreadful complaint, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted him for several months, commencing at the top of his head, and at iast covering his whole body. His sufferings were untold and constant misery, in fact, there was nothing we would not have done to have given him relief. We finally procured a lull set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three or four days he began to show a brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in a year. Jn about ninety days he was fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, ana mere is notmng too goou that we could say in their favor, for they certainly saved our baby's life, for be was the most awful sight that 1 ever beK held prior to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies.

Saviors of Portugal are Portugal's new farmers. In the south of the little kingdom a serious attempt is being made to reclaim about 10,000,000 acres, or forty-four per cent, of the total area of Portugal. Some energetic people, in combination with the municipal authorities, have set to work in the district of Serpa upon 100,000 acres, dividing it into allotments of fifteen acres each, and letting it at a nominal rent, calculated according to the estimated value of the land. The highest quit rent, is $3.20 and the lowest forty cents per allotment, free of local taxes and rates for ten years. A heterogeneous mixture of settlers already has taken possession of their tenements. Carpenters, masons, doctors, chemists, barbers, seamstresses, tailors and beggars figure in the motley crowd. The success of the scheme,' as far as It has gone, has stirred the ambition of the residents in a large part of the north of Portugal, where a project on similar lines is being set on foot to bring back into cu^ivation something like half a million acres. ?Chicago Tribune.

DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO IN CUBA Storm Kills Many on Vessels Off Florida?Great Havoc in Havana? Salvador is Devastated?Damage Incalculable?Loss of Life Great. Miami, Fla.?Three terrible disasters occurred in the hurricane that for more than two days raged along the Florida coast. The steamer St. Lucie foundered with a loss of twenty-five lives, fifty passengers have been lost from a barge, and it is reported by Captain Bravo, of the St. Lucie, that he saw a tidal wave sweep over the island of Elliott's Key, ten miles long and about one mile wide, with the almost certain death of the 250 inhabitants. Besides this list it is feared part of the fleet of the Florida Fish and Produce Company has been lost. Captain Bravo said that his ship was wrecked by the same wave that swept over Elliott's Key. He anchored on the lee side of the island, whfph runs nnrth nnrl smith nlnne' n the coast, and about an hour later the wave almost swamped the ship. Twenty-five of the 100 persons on board were killed by being borne against the deck and fittings, while sixty seriously injured were brought here on an extension steamer. The entire crew and all the passengers were on deck watching the storm when suddenly the wave rolled up and broke in hundreds of tons on the ship. The St. Lucie was crushed by the force of the blow and left a total wreck. The captain says that all lives must have perished were it not that the wave carried the ship so far shoreward that when the waters receded the vessel was only in one foot of water. Bravo said that he saw the wave carry away houses on the island, and he asserts that there is hardly a sign of vegetation remaining. Relief tugs have been despatched to Elliott's Key. The barge from which fifty are 3aid to have been lost was moored near Elliott's Key. There were 100 on board, almost all being engaged in the fishing business in these waters. The barge was almost swamped. It is said the waves covered the craft completely, but her buoyancy was so great she continued to float. The barge drifted toward the Bahama Islands, and the fifty survivors were taken off by a steamer. The steamer St. Lucie belonged to the fleet of the Florida East Coast Railway, and was employed in carrying workmen to and from the eitension work on the keys. Despite the storm warning Captain Bravo sailed for Key Sargo with a large number of workmen. The St. Lucie's home port was Tampa. She was built in Wilmington, Del., in 1888, was of 105 net tonnage and 122 feet long. She was usually manned by a crew of thirteen. The St. Lucie had formerly been in servioe at New Haven. Details were lacking. In Havana about fifty houses were injured, but, owing to the massive . construction of roofs and walls, the damages are serious only in a few . instances. The buildings of the University of Havana -ustained injuries amounting to many thousands of dollars. . A partition wall in the American legation was blown down. The office furniture was ruined and the books and records of the legation were wet t-rough. TWENTY DEAD IN HAVANA.

Otto Brink, Joseph Melson and Chas. j- Olsen, survivors from Houseboat 4, e of the Florida East Coast Railroad, which was blown to sea and wrecked IS ' by the hurricane of October 18, were e landed in this city by the Mallory e liner Colorado. They report 104 men drowned off this boat. The survivors were picked up nines ty miles off Key West, having attracts ed attention by their cries. A small boat was put out from the Colorado 6 and the exhausted and half-crazed 9 men were taken on board. They 8 were almost nude, their clothes having been torn off them. Melson, who was captain of the houseboat, says that the hurricane began early in the morning,1 and e tossed the boat from her mooring, several men being blown overboard. Two big extra anchors were put out, e but the wind increased in velocity n and the house of the boat was carx ried away, and eventually the hull it' self was torn to pieces. A number of the men were killed, and others had ^ legs or arms broken. Forty-two men who were clinging jj to one side of the wreck were rescued by a large steamer. Melson g says he and the men with him tried e to signal the boat, but could not get a reply. When the hull finally went (j to pieces he and his three companions [S hung on to part of the bottom and y floated around in the water, suby merged to their waists till they were 3> pickcd up.

DINS RESCUEJF SEIM < Sixteen Men Hauled Through Surf at Cape Henry. c Vessel Barely Saved From Drifting on Treacherous Diamond Slionl. Only to Be Wrecked. _ J Norfolk, Va.?Sixteen men were rescued from the steamer George F Farwell, which went ashore one-half mile south of Cape Kenry weather station in a fierce northeast storm.

One was a passenger. Frederick S. Heittmann, of No. 277 Elm Is . street, New Haven. Conn. He had c been aboard for his health, and re- j( marked after being landed that he was thoroughly cured of the sea, at 11 least. The crew was taken care of at the a Cape Henry Life-Saving Station, and 4 afljrward sent to the City Mission. C Captain Chisholm. of the Farwell, i and the chief engineer remained at r the wreck. i PArtrf of the steamer soon hewn I' coming ashore, and it is believed that t? she and the cargo in her will prove a total loss. The Farwell was bound r from Jacksonville, Fla., for New Ha- & ven, Conn., with 575,000 feet of cy- a press lumber. The lumber and the t vessel are worth about$125,000. The a steamer was owned by the J. C. Turner-Company, of New York, and this t was their only vessel. a The Farwell was a well-known h coaster, and had long been engaged 3 in the lumber trade. It was. perhaps, well for the men a aboard the steamer that she went ? ashore. For ten days she had been 1 battling with northeast storms, and c when Cape Henry light was sighted c there was not a potind o;' coal In her t bunkers. Captain Chisholm said c lhat he was just considering the c iurning of the cargo for fuel when r :he shiD struck on the shoals, and ihe was helpless. He was making for t Hampton Roads, where he expected r to replenish his coal supply, and had 1 made out Cape Henry light The I log then hung low. but when the 1 steamer headed for the light the mist rose, obscured the light and the e steamer stranded. A patrol from the i Cape Henry Station saw through the mist the red costen signals*of the e steamer and answered from the shore. Then the fog shut out everything. and it was thought that there \ would be no attempt to rescue. c FAJMDtE IN MURDER JURORS. Only One Man Qualifies Where 25 C Murderers Await Trial.
