POMPEII ECLIPsED.

When the frightful proportions of the
Johnstown disaster first began TO be under.
stood from the authentic reports from the
fated city, The EVENING WORLD, not for
ornate purposes. but as a historical fact,
pictured the havoc wrought as r~iValling the
destruction of Pompeii. Subsequent develop
inents Of the appalling death list in the Cone
can doomed Pompeii be referred to as the
scene of the most frightful catastrophe to a
city in recorded history. III loss Of life it is
certainly eclipsed.
Careful investigation has fixed the actual
loss Of life at Pompeii at considerably less
than twelve thousand. True. in story the
number was long swollen to sixty thousand,
but It has been concluSively proven that the
city never contained more than twelve thou
sand population, and many of the inhabitants
escaped from the buried city. As the work
of excavation has proceeded the number of
skeletons exhumed has tended to constantly
reduce the estimates of the slain.
The area of food swept territory at Johns
town Is infinitely greater than that entombed
by the ashes at Pompeii, aud conservative
estimates place the number of lives lost at
from IL. 600 to 5000.
No more I'M the lore of the ancients he
searched for the story of the most dreadful
calamity that ever overlook organized So
ciety, but in the thrilling, woful and hor-
rible recital of the fate OF YOUNGSTOWN will be
found q tale unparalleled in the past, and, We
pray, unique Tor all the future.

AN UNPArHoMBD MYSTERY.

The investigation into the cause of MARY
ToBN's death is practically ended. and no
light has been thrown upon the mystery.
Whether she sought surcease of sorrow,
caused by uurequited affection, in the EN-
brace of death. or as the victim OF illicit love
n foul crime was hidden by c~onsigning her
ifeless body to the waters, will probably
never be definitely known.
As q result of the inquest. painful suspi.
cions OF foul play Will be stoutly entertained
by many with no sufficient proofs to warrant
prosecution. which fact adds greatly to the
uncanny features of the deplorably tragedy.
The theory of suicide, 30 tenaciously adj
hered TO by the Coroner, so far as the evil
dence adduced was concerned. was not
sustained with great force. No adequate
reasons from any conduct OF Miss ToBIN
were shown TO favor the ideas that she de.
stroyed herself. On the other hand, candor
compels the admission that the crime of her
murder is not brought sufficiently close to
any one, either as to motives or acts. Ia
tasten upon him Il well-grounded suspicion
Of completely in her death.
The only ascertained fact is that poor MARY
ToBIN is dead. Another name is added to the
swelling list of those whose fate is enveloped
in impenetrable mystery.

STREAMING A POINT.

The decision of the Solicitor of the Treas
AIRY. that the importation of the foreign pro-
fessors for the new Catholic University at
Washington is a violation of the Alien Con-
tract Labor Law, seems far fetched.
The object of that law is the protection
of American labor from the competition Of

whom do these professors compete? Who
objects TO their landing?

THE MASoUE OF DEATH.
The MAsoUE OF DEATH AND OTHER Poems. BY
Charles Lotin Hildreth. Belford, Clarke x

The MAsouE OF DEATH AND OTHER Poems. by
Charles Lotin Hildreth. Belford, Clarke 4
Co.
Mr.. Hildreth disarms any severe edge to crit.
cism by a poem IN prose. IN which he declares
that these s~oarings of his" brief swallow
flights Of song have been the quick. infre.
quent recreations which have pricked through
constant imperative and uncongenial laber. He
asks only that perception of the faults OF his
verses be tempered by "some appreciation of
the cndeavor which called them into being"
That one has striven to do well is always. to the
kindly hearted, eXtenuation for deficiency in
actual accomplishment. But Mr.. Hildrcth must
recall Horace's rather depressing axiom, that
--mediocribus enc poets
Nee hOminis, nee di, noe concessre cOlumnR
II poetry is not good no law, human or divine.
should win a critic to it4 praise, and that a bad
poet meant well is only a sane reminder that ILL
doing is not always imputable.
All this is II little beside the mark. because Mr..
Hildreth, even in his verse. csclIews ambition.
and sings with a modest. healthy tluency like
the little birds of the Spring. He has a deli
cate, graceful sensC of the charm that lies in
nature and a grateful! perception of the force of
love as a source of human solace. He leans
rather to the concrete, visible world than TO the
abstract one of high and distinctive thought.
He evidently loves the beautiful things of life,
ana ueprecates IN a gentle, unc0nplalnlng way
its weary trials. Music. poetry. the sea. the
wooded shore, the lowly content of the chirping
cricket and the many phases of natures face
all have their hold OF Mr.. Hildroth's modest
muse.
His poetry is graceful, sweet, feeling. and his
rhythm is. as a rule, correct. But this does not
make great poetry, and if we are to accept
HorRce's dictm only great poetry is good
poetry. Many, however, feel that the verse
which awakens soothing, beautiful emotions,
and is eNpr csscd in dainty words and ~fancies, is
q measurable good not TO be disdained. Mr..
Hildreth's verses are all this. lie is evidently a
young man, and the shortcomings OF thisspres-
cnt time jar somew hat on his poetic sensibility.
Hence there is an undercurrent of melancholy,
not too dark or bitter, through his flow OF mel
ody. He is not averse to striking q minor chord
at times.
Metempsychosis' is a dainty love poem,
lighter than its rather prosaic title. TO an
Obscure Poet is also a revelation of Mr.. Hi
dreth's simple sympathy with what ia lowly and
graceful. The little volume will certainly repay
perusal and bring a pleasant, soothing sense to
those who can show the poets gentle SYN.
pathies with the sweet simplicities OF life and
the artlcs' charms of nature. ]. j. n b.

BLIND TOM REPORTED DEAD.
He Is Said to BE Among the Many Wh0
Persisted In the Flood.


From all indications it is more than probable
that We have seen and heard - Blind Tom" the
famous negro pianist, for the last time.
His body. and that of his manager. is believed
to be among the thousands Of unidentified dead
in the Inflated valley of Johnstown. and, being
strangers. and moreover one OF them a colored
man, it il likely that il their bodies were recov-
cred they were buried with the rest of the name
less dead.
He played in the Bijou Theatre. Pittsburg.
last Thursday night. Friday. morning he went
to Johnstown, where he was billed to appear.
accompanied by his manager. That evening
the food came, and 4" Blind Tom y and his man
Ager have never been heard from since.
. Blind Tom was born of slave parents in
Columbus, Ga, May rs, lS49. He was blind
from birth, and never saw a note OF music.
brought a piano to the house. One evening
they heard the little negro child playing a piece
on the piano which lie had heard them play.
He would frequently come in from wandering
in the fields and play wild and weird music of
his own Improvisation.
His hrst appearance in. this city was in Hops
Chapel, the evening OF Jan. -; 1851.
1t is said that he carried ), 900 pieces of music
in his memory; and could. play any piece, how
ever elaborate. after hearing il once.
He could simultaneously play one air on the
piano with his right hand. another. with his
left, and sing a third. He used to applaud HIM
self when he finished playing,
neighborlood with the music Of his piano.
Blind Tom was a true colored man in being
fond Of wa;ernlelons. He would play the most
difficult music an hour for a watermelon, and
would eat 1t with the greatest voracity.
