Tiio first uewa or tbe cyclone direct from Lawrence, has just been received by telephone. The message confirms the extent of the disaster as at first reported. The ins truction was confined wholly to South Lawrcuce, where ninety wooden dwellings were destroyed, six live3 lost, and o-"i persons were injured. Over $110,000 worth of. property wis destroyed and 1,000 people were icu dered homeless. Passengers on the Boston and Maine train, due in Boston at 10:lo o'clock, got a good -view of the wrecked town as they passed through. One of the passengers on the train thus describes the sight: "The rain had ceased and the wind had gone dowD, and the first thing noticed was a building blown to the ground, while several trees were seen twisted and uprooted. This was on the left hand side of the train, coming toward Bos ton. Pieces of limber, farm wagons aud objects of all sorts, were scattered about in great confusion. "We were horrified to see a dead body lying upon the bridge at the South Law rence depot 'Everybody was running about in great confusion, not having a chance to toll the extent of the damage. The path of the cyclone swept at right angles across the track, cutting a clean swath, moving houses and cut ting off or uprooting tho trees. The train slopped but ti few minutes aud it was impossible to find out anything definite." TKi: CYCLOSrAS WORK. Additional ami Interesting I'ar ticnliirs. S'rcljl to Tin: Astokiax.

The conductor states that a tornado struck South Lawrence about 500 yards from the South Lawrence station of the Boston & Maine rail road, and the path of destruction ex tends to the bridge on the Boston & Maine tracks between South Law rence and North Andover. In South Lawrence 75 houses were scattered. Tho roof of the new Catholic church was carried away and a switch box of the Boston & Maine road v:u blown 500 feet, carrying with it a railroad employee, whoso name is not known, and killed hini instantly.

It re flects not only tbe growth, but the pa triotism and prosperity of our people as no other statistical exhibit docs. The mere fact is startling that twenty- live years ago, less than a generation, the public debt was 2,756,000,000, en tailing an annual interest charge of 151,000,000, and it is now only 921, 000,000, and the interest charge is but 20,500,000. The face of the debt has decreased to one-third its maximum size, while the interest charge has decreased to one-fifth its highest amount, owing to refunding at the constantly declining rates of interest Iu the past ten years a large pro portion of the debt has been extin guished. At the time of the 1SS0 cen sus the public debt was 1,919,000,000, and the interest charge was 79,590, 000, so that in a decade the debt has been reduced 903,000,000, or say 1,000,000,000. It will thus be seen that if the country remains prosperous and con tinues "to be well governed, it will be entirely possible to extinguish the remaining public debt iu the next ten years, so that the people of the United states could, if they chose, enter upon tho twentieth century with a net surplus in tho treasnry. It has been the historic fiscal pelicy of our country to pay off its debt; we pre sume it will contiaue to be. The present census will show 05, 000,000 people in the United States, in all probability, and this will figure a debt at the present time of only 11 per inhabitant, which is small, while the interest charge of 29,117,603 en tails a tax of les3 than 50 cents per year per inhabitant All the Choicest Delicacies, made by only first-class men at tho Seaside rJakery.

Iu the sen ate lo-day Mitchell offered a concur rent resolution, which was referred to the committee of finance, stating that the United States would hail with ap probation any reciprocal arrangement, by treaty or otherwise, between tho United States and the government of any of the South American or Central American states, whereby the treaty shall be altered sj that there shall be admitted lo tho ports of such nations, free from all national, provincial, mu nicipal andother tariffs or taxes tho products, including flour, cornme.il aud other breadstuffs, preserved meats, fruits, vegetables, cotton seed oil, rice and other provisions; all articles of food, lumber, furniture and all other articles of wood, agricultural imple ments -and machinery, structural steel and iron and steel nub, locomotives, railway cars aud supplies for street cars, refined petroleum, and such other products of the United States as may be agreed upon.

Hoy HaJ an l!ye to Huiines. Cal Cooper relates an incident of his recent trip to Tillamook in company with Mr. Stoddard, superintendent of the mail service. As they came to within about a mile of the city they overtook a lad 10 or 11 years old trudging along with a peck "of apples in a flour sack. xs they drove by on a brik trot Stoddard called eut: "Are yon going to town, little man?" "l'es." ''Well, climb on then," giving the horse a sharp cnt at the same tini". After a good chase the boy succeeded in obeying instructions, and with his apples and the two worthies was bumped along over the corduroy road. 'Is this the right road?" que ried Mr. Stoddard as they whirled down the main thoroughfare entering the city. '"No, you want to take that road to the left, and I'll show you which way to drive." After devious windings about among stumps and blackened logs the government oflicial again inquired: "Is this the shortest road into town'-"' "No." came the frank and ready answer agaiu, "but we live down this way. This is a new road we have just opened up and we want to get as much travel to go this way as we can." There was nothing said for considerable distance. Tho lad was the first to break the silence: "If you fellows is capitalists lookin for a soft snap, you wanto buy town lots in this place. You can buy them cheap now, and in a little while you sell them for twice what you pay. It's the leading town on the northwest coast my pa says, has got a fino har bor already and is going to have a rail road after a while, and now is the lime to invest My pa is the editor of one of the town papers, and can tell yon about it" The boy was all lite time holding onto his sack of apples and eyeing the straugers jn a half sus picious manner, as if doubtful of the comnany he had fallen into, but an opportunity for a buggy ride aud to get the new road broke out was too big a combination of good things t6 be missed.

"Now ladies, if you want to keep nice and sweet and fresh-looking this summer, just go and pack." "Pack! Pd like to know how that's going to keep us fresh-looking; if there's any one thing calculated to make a person look and feel fagged out, it is packing." "Yes, but I don't mean that kind of packing; the packing that I mean will smooth out your complexion until it looks like a rose petal, and it is such delightful packing, too. Now, of course, you're all curious to hear what it is, so I must tell you "that the pack is nothing more nor less than a Turk ish bath taken at home." "A Turkish bath, and at home? De lightful, indeed! "Why, Pve been wanting to take one of those baths for ever so long, but never dared to, be cause you know there is no Turkish bath nearer than Portland,.and that is hardly patronized at all except by common women. But do hurry up and tell us how to do it." ""Well, don't look horrified when I tell you that the first thing you will have to do is to starve. Eat nothing for 12 hours, for 21 if you can stand it, and drink less. Now being ready, spread a gossamer sheet over your matress, and a silk or a pongee sheet over that. Have a cotton sheet wrung out in boiling water and courageously bind it about your outraged body from your neck to your heels. You will want to scream and you had bet ter do it. It will relieve your feelings, and tho pack will remain unimpaired. "Wrapped in the warm and clinging embrace, you lie at full length on your couch, and call some one of the mem bors of your family in to pile things up on top of yon blankete, shawls, comfortables, quilts; anything, every thing you can stand. Somebody will have to stay with you and at intervals of 15 minutes change the cloth laid on your pink and perspiring brow, which must be freshly wrung out in ice water (the cloth I mean, not your brow). Pack for two hours, and then, if you are not boiled dead, you can stagger in your bath room, brace yourself against the tiled wall, and allow yourself to be scrubbed with soap-water and a flesh brash, sponged with alcohol, and briskly rub with a crash towel. Slip on a fresh night gown, sip a cup of boullion with a dash of cognac in it, hop into bed, which has been in the meantime stripped of its steaming appoint ments, aired and furnished with warm sheets, and dream away an hour or more. "When you ttnclose your eyes on an entirely new, fresh and enchant ing world, from which care and fa tigue will have vanished, and in which appetite, by tho way, will reign su preme, get up and look at yourself in the mirror. Those shining eyes under an ivory brow, the rosy cheeks, dewy lips, and satin throat these are your reward for the solid discomfort of two wet and weary houra for the nap doesn't count, yon know.

A Roinanlic anl Attractive Town on tlie Shores of Die Pacific, a. en Alans a i'zaci: ran iioirrs The tired, overworked man of busi ness anxious for a desirable resting place, the matronly head of the family who wish to escape from the cares of a large house in the city, the tourist who is constantly in search of new and attractive resorts, the young butter flies of the social world whose long ing are for a change of scene, are types of humanity who all wish to es cape from the heat and dust of the crowded city in summer, and hie away to tho beach, where they can find in close proximity to tho rolling waves and foam crested surf tho other desir able advantages of shady retreats in romantic groves. beasiue resorts are numerous on the shores of the grand old Pacific, within tho confines of California and Oregon, but each one while it may nave many attractive features, has more or less disadvantages, and the constant cry or tno rusnmg, pro gressive age m winch we live is "Oh, for a new place wmen is nearer perfec tion than any we have seen!" Little of humanity and godlike at tributes of mind and intellect has the individual who does not admire tho ocean and delight iu watching its never-ceasing roll or listening to its continuous roar, as wave after wave comes surging in from the watery sweep which bounds the horizon, where water and sky apparently blend, and in a grand and beautiful arching crest towers upward and forward until it describes so much of a circle that it plunges over and breaks with a lonjr, rumbling roll, scattering the fofm over the surface as the watery volume rushes for the shore. It is a type of human existence, for in tho busy whirl ot life one person crowds another as tho whole rush for ward, even as wave follows wave in quick and never-ending succession; each is uppermost for a brief time, then is crowded ont by others, as man after man rise3 to prominence and then disappears to view, lost in the general throng. Famous amid tho most attractive ocean resorts in Oregon, Clatsop beach has always held a proud position, and now there is being brought forward one of the mo3t charming portions of that renowned beach, which has hith erto long been known and admired, but has been witheld from market and refused to many would-be purchasers. For nearly one and three-quarter miles in length and three-quarters of a mile in width, bordering on the broad Pacific, embracing nearly 900 acres, tho Gearhart farm combines meadow and upland, wood and beach, thicket and sand in a most remarkably diver sified manner. Tho Astoria & South Coast railroad passes through it the longest way and affords easy and con venient access. At the southern end of the ranch about 350 acres have been laid out for a town 'and named Gear hart Park. Broad streets and broader avenues, lanes, winding walks, circuitous drives and romantic paths through shad' groves, separate and surround hundreds of lots so differently situ ated as to please almost every taste. Generally they are 50x100 feet in size, though some are in villa sites, in half acre and acre tracts. Abont two-thirds of the lots are in the woods, and the balance, nearer the beach, is grassy ground with no timber, so that any location desired can be se lected. The timber is mostly spruce and hemlock with a few fir trees and an occasional pine. It is young aud thrifty, and in some places is so dense as to be almost impassable. Through all this thick grovo the ground i3 so completely covered with heavy moss that one feels as if walk ing on a velvet carpet The railroad runs near the eastern line of tho park, and a little west of this is the connty road from Skipanon to Seaside. Mid way between the road and the ocean is uearnart creelc wlucn ailorcls a splendid boating course about a mile and a half in length. This is crossed by several bridges for teams, and by a foot bridge connecting two of the most shadv and romantic sections of the park. The beach is here unsurpassed. From high tide to low about 400 feet in width is uncovered of a firm, hard sandy floor, ou which horses can be driven, anil the track of the animal and the wagon can barely be seen, so hard is the sand. This affords a re markably safe place for Jadies and even small children to bathe, as any one can wade out several hundred feet in tho water before it is waist deep to an adult, and thus any desirable depth of water can bo had by tho bather. It also furnishes an excellent drive. About midway of tho park, from north to south, and in closo proximity to the depot, several blocks have been reserved for a public park and picnic grounds. The underbrush is being cleared away, and some of the smaller trees cnt ont, leaving enough lrce3 to make it a perfect bower, cool and de lightful even in the warmest days. Raspberries, blackberries, salmon ber sasiae PABK. ries and whortleberries are found ib , abundance. Between the creek and the beach a ' fine hotel is now being constructed, and two blocks farther south Dr. Al fred Kinney is putting ud a cottace which he will occupy during tha sum- ,- mer. Jacobs ite Plnmmer are the con tractors who are building them. Thompson waterfall onSDrinsr creek has been purchased and. from this water is to be conducted in iron. nines in sufficient quantity to furnish water for the whole park, though plenty of water can be had by driving a well a3 has already been successfully done. The depot is incoursGof erection, and will be one oE the neatest and most convenient on the line of the road. It is situated two miles north of Grimes, in the very thickest of the woods, and from it is a fine road through the charming grove, extend ing clear to the beach. The hotel will be 36x68 feet, withji dining room 21x36 and a kitchen annex. The main building will be Lwo stories high with an attic, and surrounded by a broad veranda, from, which can be had a grand view otho ocean. Up the beach in the distance can be seen cape Hancock and the high bluffs of Washington, whilo to- the left is Seaside and beyond that Tillamook head The lasi object in sight down tho coast is the lonely Tillamook rock and lighthouse, dis tant some twelve miles. Lengthwise of the park aie several ridges formed many years ago by the wind and waves, whioh have pued up - tno sand and rounded the- embank-- ment as nicely as if it had been planned and made by human agency. Soil has accumulated upon these and in many places trees are growing upon them which are from 50 to 150 years old. Several streets are laid out on these ridgea which are almost per- fectly straight, and one of them,25 feet in width, has been reserved for a promenade. It runs through, the grove, which is being trimmed out enough to furnish a beautiful walk, and will be so shady that the sun. can hardly penetrate its cool recesses. Eighteen or twenty men are now at work on the buildings and grounds, -rapidly putting the whole in a finished condition, and though the plot has not yet been placed on record and the land thrown on the market, a large number of lots have been sold. Many ' of them have been purchased by Port land people and a number by "As torians, who will erect cottages this summer, and several parties are camp ing in tents until their houses can be completed. Bath houses will be built on the beach, and two observatories, from which the ocean viow and the beach for miles up and down will be un- -rivalled. Clams and crab3 can be had in abundance and hunters and fishermen in the woods and streams ' not far distant can find plenty ot game aud fish. f But the delightful grove withife romantic walks and drives, it3 moaa" covered velvety surface and. all the beauties of beach, meadow and creekr and in fact, the combined charms ot Gearhart park, all in all, must be seen to be appreciated, for they are beyond description, as the most elo quent and brilliant writer or the pen cil of tho talented artist would fall short of a description or picture equal to the original. The representative of The As toriax visited the park on Friday, spent several hours in driving over it, and left with the greatest reluctance, for it seemed as if in a cottage in that charming place, life would pass de lightfully anl an Arcadian existence would be realized. M. J. Kinney is the owner, and aa soon as tho plat is filed the lots will be sold at such low prices that all who desire can easuy have a summer home iu one of the most lovely localities to be found on tho Pacific coast "W. I. Crawford is the resident mana ger, and can bo found there at all times. Three trains per day now pass, the park, and as travel increases more trains will be added. It will be strange indeed it such a magnificent opportunity for charming homes by the rolling waves ot tho stately Pacific, is neglected by those . who seek a summer residence as near ly perfect in its surroundings as can possibly bo procured. A. summer in such a spot wfli b5 a health-giving joy to any family, and to tho active busi ness man who can spend his Sundays there it will seem to him as welcome and cheering as are the oase3 to the weary traveler over Sahara's wide waste of sand. All the patent medicines advertised in this paper, together with the choicest perfumery, and toilet articles etc can be bought at the lowest prices at J. W". Conn's drug store, opposite Ucciuent hotel, Astoria. CURES PERMANENTLY :& :e: ; TJ BX JLTX S 1 Suffered for Koarly 30 Years. 187 N. Chester St., Baltimore, Md.
