1t seems to be much the fashion here, to
leave teams, without fastening the horses,
that being the only way. at pres sent, of break
ing up the monotony. Those inquisitive
horses who walked through the window of
Gilbert's dry goods store, were evidently in
search of green stuff.

johnson Hall was quite filled Friday even
ing bv an audience composed chiefly OF mel,
and assembled to hear and learn the great
secrets and profound mysteries of Free Ma
sonary, which we're exposed and expounded by
Rev. j. F. Brown of Chicago, ILL.,, minis
ter of the gospel, an apostate of Free Mason
nv. and disinterested philanthroplst. seeking
TO deter men from being misled into joining an
institution SO fraught with evil p and so detrl-
mental to the cause of Christ 70. Inc
meeting was opened with scripture reading
and PRAYER, and throughout the greater part
of il was conducted with decorum. Mr..
Brown is a first-rate talker, but apparently
made no great impression, for before the
meeting closed large part of the audience
left the hall. He made candid statement
of facts, and to the uniformed apparently
exposed the whole ritual and all the cere-
monies of Free Masonry. Toward the latter
mart of the meeting person in the audience
fired of couple of caps which caused some
little excitement. The affair wound up with
a benediction, which could hardly be heard
on account of the noise and loud talking.
Evidently his following in Gardiner will not
be very great.
The Capital Guards of Augusta and the
company from w atervllle nave accepteu III
invitation to be present at the grand civic and
military ball at johnson Hall, Thursday
evening next There will be a street parade
during the day and the four companies will
make quite an imposing display. A fine
programme has been prepared for the even
ing, comprising besides the ball. a drill and
short concert. The whole affair will I'M
doubtedly be highly entertaining. The sale
of reserved seats has begun.
Our late storm has made travelling very
bad. The streets are extremely muddy.
One of the residents of East Pittstown states
that on his way from that village to Gardin-
err he rode through several drifts that reached
to the hubs Of the wheels, while in other
places it was as far in the other extreme.
He also says that the heaters were used in
breaking out the roads. Winter is appar-

n Earths.ake 1t Chic.

LoxpoH, April l6. A correspondent OF
H. Times At Chic SAYS: Total number dead
= scarcely less than 1000 although some al
lowance may be due to the fact that i'm
mediafely after the disaster many crossed to
tie mainland. and some of these reported
dad may be there. Villages on the south
err side oftbe island are completely wrecked,
hardly single house being left standing.
The centre of the volcanic action seems TO
have been near Nenita, overlooking Waslo
bay, on the east coast, where 800 perlshed
cut of a population of 1900. At Amabatos
IL we're killed. This is the most northerly
town on the west eide, which suffered severe
". Other towns were severely shaken but
not in ruins. The district OF Chic and towns
southeast suffered most OF all.
Kallimass;a is simply mass of ruins, and
it is difficult to distinguish one house from
another. | cannot conceive how any consid-
cradle number escaped. yet only AS persisted
out of 1900. The neighboring villages suf-
fered similarly. The seven principle ones.
containing $50 people, are believed to have
been lost: 1927 of the Inhabitants are dead.
At least nine-tenths of the houses in the
southern and southeastern portions OF the
island, must be rebuilt or repaired. The
population are now camping out, and are IN
great need of food and shelter. The north
ern part of the IS and need help, but to less
extent. Those who are severely wounded.
are nearly all being brought to Chic by
means of ships. The work of clearing away
the ruins has begun here, but in the yillag rs
people are still panic stricken. Little can be
done as long as shocks continue. About 80 =
900 people are camped in the southern halt OF
the island, with nothing but what they have
on their backs. Progress is being made by
the .ympatlizing relief organizations at Kali
imassia. A German doctor who was in one
of the houses at the time of the disaster, re-
lates that the first warning he had was see
ing the dishes on the table jump up and ia |
on the floor. A few seconds later the walls
of the building fell outward.

Steamer ''Star Of the East in the
Storm


The ''Star of the East arrived in Boston,
Friday afternoon. She experienced a very
rough passage. After passing Boon Island a,
] A. NJ, the storm grew more violent; the
waves from the Atlantic rolled in with ire
mendous power, causing considerable anx-
iety to those on board, as to the probability
of ever reaching haven. The weather was
thick with snow, and it soon became mat
ter of extreme difficulty to keep the vessel
on her proper course.
In the meantime the seas repeatedly broke
over the steamer, threatening to ebgulf her,
but fortunately she escaped serious harm. al
though ole of the life boats was literally torn
from the davits by huge wave that swept
over her. The steamer CROPPED her way
through the darkness at moderate speed. the
captain not knowing his exact locality, but
constantly on the lookout for any indications
of land.
While in this state of uncertainty, break
ers were suddenly discovered near At hand.
when orders were given to let 60 anchors.
which was promptly done, and the vessel was
brought up in sufficient depth of water to
secure safe anchorage. 1t was subse-
quently discovered thar she was about a mile
west of Tinker's Island, off Marblehead.
She remained there until the weather cleared
up enough for Capt. Collins to get his bear
ings, when she proceeded for Boston.

Letter from Ex.President Hayes,

MrSNEAroLis, Mimi, April IL. The
Minneapolis Tribune published an abstract
from private letter to its editor from ex-
President Hayes, in the course of which he
makos the following reference to certain
published statements to which his attention
had been called impugning his temperance
principles and practices. Mr.. Hayes says
When become president was fully con-
WINGED that whatever might be the case in
other countries and with other people in our
climate. and with the excitable and nervous
temperament of our people the habitual
use of intoxicating drinks was not safe. l
regarded the danger as especially great in
political and official life. 1t seemed to me
that the exclusion of liquors from the White
House would be wise and useful as an exam
pie and would be approved OF by good peo-
pie generally. The suggestion was particu-
larly agreeable to Mrs. Hayes. She
had been a total abstinence woman from
childhood We had never used liquors in
our own home and it was determined to con-
official residence in Washington as we had
done at Columbus. was not a total alb
stainer when became president but
the discussion which arose over changes
at the executive mansion soon sat
isfied me that there was no half way
course in the matter during the greater part
of my term, at least during the last three
years. have been, in practice as in theory
q persistent advocate of total abstinence, and
shall continue to be so. All statements to the
contrary are untrue and without any founda-
tion
