On this memorable evening she stepped on to the stage at the same moment that the queen entered the royal box. Instantly the whole sudience rose to their feet and cheered jloud and long. The queen modestly assumed that the applause was intended fjor the great singer. Jenny Llnd knew It! was for the queen. For some time neither of them gave any acknowledgment!

"A bill has also been prepared asking the State" to release us from all State ad valorem and school taxes for a term of 15 years, beginning with 1902. It is proposed, if this relief be granted, also to ask authority to issue bonds to the extent of $1,500,000, the interest and the sinking fund for which are to be provided by the levy for 15 years of a city tax equal In amount of that remitted by the State for a like period. The proceeds of these bonds are to be used in raising the grade of the city. "If the legislature remits these taxes for 15 years we can well afford to Increase our city taxes to that extent, and the Issue of bonds will thus be accomplished without any Increase of taxation. It Is proposed and expected that the State school fund will take all or part of these bonds, which will bear 3 per cent interest, thus obviating the necessity of Galveston being dependent upon the open bond market for a sale of these 8 ENERGY OF INHABITANTS.

This bill is signed by a number of the representative citizens of Galveston, and it is being pushed energetically.

The' principal loss sustained by the county was the destruction of the bay bridge, which was valued at A ferry pier, worth IM.OOO, and about ISO.OuO worth of bridges nnd culverts, belonging to the county, were also washed away by the rasing waters. The largest items of loss the State met were the destruction of its disinfecting barge, machinery and buildings, valued at $50,000, and. damage to the medical department of the University of Texas to the extent of $60,000.

Galveston has three terminal railroads: the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe; Gi'ves-ton, Houston Northern (Southern Pacific), and the Galveston, Houston Henderson. Each of these roads lost Its bridge across the bay and several miles of track. The Southern Pacific was the heaviest loser. The damajre to Its water front property was full Sao.000. while its other property and equipment in the flty and vicinity were Injured to the extent of $75,000 more.

The Galveston city railway operated -II miles of track by electricity, and whole blocks of this were washed away. The. telegraph By Fred J. Hasklns. GALVESTON, March 6.

The splendid courage with which bleeding-, crippled Galveston has sta-Kered to her feet and recovered from the fearful shock, of that dread September ntorr.1 has won the admiration of the world as quickly as the horror of the tcr-rlbl brought forth Us pity and Its grarwroslty. "If for no other reason than tho bravery and the heroism of its people, the little island city ought to live. Few irdeed are the instances in history where a locality has been so severely dealt with ly the elements. In a single night tha riot of wind and water caused a property loss of over $17,000,000, blotted out 6,000 Uvea and made either beexars or mourners of what remained of tho population. Only thone who witnessed It can have any adequate Idea of the horror of the situation when the wind sub-elded and the water receded.

The streets were choked and plied high with the debris of thousands of wrecked houf es. At every turn th llvingr were confronted by the dead. All tho facilities of the oity rere disabled and the plijfht of the place was indeed pitiable. The object of this article is to relate the rehabilitation of the stricken city and tho facts con-tritmt another chapter to the Indomitable-pluck and perseverence that Is a National characteristic of the American people. On tha morning after the storm a mass meeting of men called at clan.

One of the handsomest of these worn by a Pittsburg woman was a fancy straw hat uf solid red, and the clan colors were carried put In a unique scarf that was knotted and folded about it. Dark blue chiffon formed the body of the scarf and ail around the edge of it was a border of narrow strands of plaited straw of the proper color. These were stitched right onto the chiffon and at the corners were interwo-ven with each other so as to give a perfectly flat effect. These scarfs are quite a feature of the hats and a'ra rather costly things, many of them costing as high as $10. The hats are nearly all made with a sort of flat turban effect, and It keeps the milliners busy keeping up with the demand for them for traveling purposes.

It has even been hinted that not a few people who have not had time to seek out an ancestral clan or are not blessed with Scotch blood have adopted the colors of some clan and ordered one of the hats, so as to keep abreast of the times. The summer hats the local milliners have been sending out all the winter all have the flat effect and are marked by a pretty softness of straw and trimmings. Those for dressy wear are lavishly decked with tulle chiffon, feathers or flowers. Many of the people irt the tropics of th! country and traveling abroad send their special milliner Pitt-burg for hat supplies. A letter comes with the scrap of a gown the desired creation is to be worn with, or, if it Is for general wear some details about color or shape preferred, in many Instances there comes nothing but the order for the hat and ail the rest Is left to the taste and discretion of a creator of sponsible for a big winter boom of summer millinery.

Ever since the first days of the century while people have been hurrying along the snow-sprinkled streets wrapped snugly ir furs, and the millinery windows have been displaying a choice array of winter hats and bonnets, there has been a very different scene going on in the workshops back of the display rooms. There tables, and often the floor j.lso. were piled high with delicate fancy straw hats and the daintiest and airiest of trimmings which the artistic fingers of a bevy of milliners were fashioning into the pummeriest creations that could be Imagined. The orders were coming in hick and fast to every fashionable millinery establishment in town. The head of one of the smartest and most popular of these places, who has been In the business for over a score of years, declares that never before in the history of Pittsburg has there fceen a season when so many summer hats have been sold in wki-winter.

One Allegheny society woman, who went to a Florida resort just after the Christmas holidays, ordered 30 different bats to go wUh the beautiful summer gowns that her dressmaker had spent weeks of labor to bring to a state of perfection sat lsfacry to my lady's exquisite taste.

The United States weather bureau has just issued a bulletin covering the entire history of the West Indian hurricanes, which says that the Galveston cyclone was the severest and most destructive hurricane In the storm annals of the western hemisphere. At Galveston It registered the lowest barometer readina ever reported In the 1 "tilted States and blew at the rate of 120 miles an hour. This storm originated down near the little Isle of Msrtirttnue. It curved to the south just In time to miss Porto Itico.

From Galveston It curved around northward and finally spent its strength in tho ocean northeast ef Newfoundland. Federal Assistance Likely.

Assistance is also expected from the Federal Government, which Is doubly Interested in the rehabilitation of the city. It has already expended $8,000,000 in constructing the jetties, and these Rreat walls of rock were damaged to the extent of ll.ittO.OOO or more by the hurricane. They are nearly six miles in length. The Government also expended about $2.000, 0f on forts, barracks and other property on the Island and there eeems to be no question but that the appropriation will be made to repair and permanently preserve these valuable properties.
