ANOTHER RIVER HOLOCAUST.

Thirty Souls Sent to Eternity by the
burning OF the Steamer John H..

PLAQUEMINE, La, Dec. 26.-~The
steamer John III. Hanna, loaded with
cotton from Ouachita-burned here Christ
mas morning. The boat and cargo are a
total loss. The disaster was one of the
most terrible that has ever happened in
southern waters. The loss of life was
heavy, nearly thirty persons perishing in
the flames and in the river. At the
time the fire was discovered the crew
were at their posts. Captain Jolles was
at the wheel, and in the pilot house with
him was Bob Smith, famous Mississippi
river pilot, who was one of the men on
the Robert L. Lee when she burned to
the waters edge some years ago.
She had reached a point just a short
distance above the town, when negro

after end and cried out that the boat
was all ON fire. John Cullen, q stoker,
was near the place at the time and seeing
the flames bursting forth from the big
tiers of cotton near the boiler, ran hastily
to the engine room and gave the alarm
at once. Engineer Merriman took in
the situation at a glance and at once
sounded the alarm by blowing the steam
whistle and ringing the bells. In an in
slant the flames shot through the cabin
and over the sides of the cotton, wrap
ping the entire boat in finmes. AZ
soon as the smoke and flames began to
shoot after the sides of the boat. Captain
Jolles swung the wheel around and
headed the boat for the shore. A full
head of steam was on at the time and
the boat was soon run into-the bank.
When the Hanna struck the bank she
bounded away again and swung around
drifting down as she burned. Then
Capt. Jolles jumped out over the cotton,
and springing into the river, swan
ashore, The sight was weird one
viewed from the bank, and the town was
aroused. Floating cotton, charred tim.

The question of the duration of
dreams has recently been discussed in
Germany, among others by DR.. f,
Scholz, who has given some striking
examples from his own experience and
observation. 1t is not possible to give
a definite answer, and probably
enough dreams vary much in point of
duration, just as they vary in force
and vividness. At one time the figures
Of a dream, whether they emerge from
the horn or the ivory gate, are as real
as in life; the sorrow is even more in
tense, the happiness more realistic. At
another time they seem to live only in
pale moonlight, and we watch the
scenes rather than participate in
them. 1t is very certain, however,
that the majority of dreams are only
tended occasionally to the length of a
minute.
In proof of this DR.. Scholz tells the
following story from his experience:
After excessive bodily fatigue and
day of mental strain, of not disagree
able kind, betook myself to bed after
| had wound my watch and placed it
on the night table. Then lay down
beside a burning lamp. Soon found
myself on the high sea on board a we'll
known ship. l was again young and
stood on the lookout. heard the roar
of the water and golden clouds hoated
around me. How long | stood SO l
did not know, but it seemed very
long time Then the scene changed.
l was in the country and my long dead
parents came to greet me; they took
me to church, where the loud organ
sounded. l was delighted, but at the
same time wondered to see my vito
and children there. The priest
mounted the pulpit and preached, but
1could not understand what he said for
the sound Of the organ, which con-
tinued to play. l took my son by the
hand, and with him assembled the
church tower, but again the scene was
changed. Instead of being near my
son l stood near an early known but
long dead officer-I ought to explain
that was an army surgeon during tho
maneuvers. l was wondering why
the major should look so young, when
quite close in my ears q cannon
sounded. Terrified, l was hurrying
off, when woke up and noticed that
the supposed cannon shot had its
cause in the opening Of the bedroom
door through some one entering. It
was as if had lived through an eter-
nifty in my dream, but when | looked
at my walsh / saw that since | had
fallen asleep not more than ono min
ute had elapsed-a much shorter time
than it takes to relate the occurrence +"
DR.. Scholz has collected many other
examples of similar kind.

THE FALL OF THE BASTiLE.
What mn Anarchist Says About the Ami
versary of That Event, July Ia.

verSary OF Inat Event., July
An Anarchist of this city, who
shaves his beard so as to leave only
mustache on his face, was interviewed
by Sun reporter in regard to the pre-
diction of Capt, Bonfeld, of Chicago,
that there will be widespread An
archist uprising on the 18th of next
July, and that in Paris, where their
operations are to begin, the centenary
Of the fall of the Bastile is then to be
celebrated. 1T is true" the New York
Anarchist said, that there will be
big time in Paris on July IA next at
the Bastile celebration, and it is also
true that they had big time there on
the same date in last July, and like
wise on that date of every year since
the establishment of the French repub-
lie. The 14th of July in France is
Like Like the 4th Of July in the United
day, when all France, including the
French government and army, unites
in celebrating the most memorable
event in French history. The day is
also celebrated in this country,
mainly by Frenchmen, and it will be
celebrated here next year, as Inspector
Bonfield, of Chicago, says. But there
is no need of being alarmed about the
celebration of next year, any more
than there was about that of last year,
or of the year before. The celebration
is not anarchistic, but republican, and
signalizes the downfall of monarchy.
AS the Americans in France and other
countries celebrate the Fourth of July,
so the Frenchmen in America and
other countries celebrate the 14th of
July; and the sympathizers with
French liberty who live in France
join hands with the people there, just
as the foreign sympathizers with
American liberty who live here join
hands with the natives on Independ-
ence day. That is all the ground there
is for the apprehensions Of Inspector
Bonfeld, Of Chicago, who probably
never was in France. There is not
the slightest danger in this country,
any more than there is in France, of the
Anarchists raising any rumpus on the
coming French centenary. They are
hundred times stronger in France
than they are here, but the French
government takes no heed of them.
It is too bad that Capt. Bonfield should
scare people about the 14th of next
July. New York Sun.
