A Remarkable Volcano,

The city of San Salvador, the capital of the smallest and most populous Cen tral American republic, was founded in 1928. It has been three times almost en- tirely and eleven times partially de- stroyed by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. It is eighteen miles from the sea coast, has an elevation of 2,o0O feet, and is surrounded by group of volca- noes, two of which are active, San Miguel and Izalco, and present a magnificent display to the passengers of steamers sailing along the coast, constantly dis charging masses of lava which flow down their sides in blazing torrents.
 Izalco is as regular as a clock, the eruption occurring like the beating of a mighty pulse, every seven minutes. It is impossible to conceive of grander spectacle than this monster, rising 1000 feet almost directly from the sea, an inn mense volume of smoke, like plume, continually pouring out of it's summit and broken with such regularity by masses of flame rising 1000 feet, that it has been named Fl Faro del Salvador the Lighthouse of Salvador. It is in many respects the most remarkable vol cano in the world, because it's discharges have continued so long and with such the earth's bowels is always to be heard. Its explosions are constant, and are aud ible a hundred miles off. It is tho only volcano that has originated on this con- tinent since the discovery by Columbus. It arose from the plain in the spring of ITO in the midst of what had been for nearly a hundred years magnificent coffee and indigo plantation.-Guate- mala Star

THE ANTI-PlNkERTON LAW.
Its Constitutionality to Be Tested If an
 Attempt Ia Made to Enforce It.

It's Constftutionality to Re Tested If an
 Attempt Is Made to Enforce 1t.
 TRENTON, March 25-Now that the legis- iature of New Jersey has placed upon its statute books a law which prohibits the enl- ploymcnt of Pinkerton detectives for the purpose of guarding the property of persons or corporations whose employees are on strike, d question to the validity of the law has arisen, and there is no doubt of its constitu- tlonaity being questioned the first time its provisions shall be enforced
 Capt. Linden, superintendent of the Pink erton forces ill Philadelphia, said: "The law is not just one, and doubt if it will hold water. It is evident that the bill was intro duced on account of the strike on the Della ware, Lackawanna and Western railroad at its Jersey City terminus about two years ago, when a boy was said to have been killed by one of our men. Its object is, of course, in case of a strike to compel the au- thorities of the county i'll which it occurs to swear i'll residents as deputy sheriffs to do duty ill place of Pinkerton men.
 "Now, there Is always great deal of sym pathy with strikers in the community in which they live, and it is difficult matter to find an imparti;'l body of men to do police duty. It is on this point that the new law is ill variance with common reasoning, be- cause a man or corporation has perfect right to employ whomsoever he or it pleases to guard property. do not believe the law will be enforced" "

Quartz Dirt Consumption.

A local physician says the prevalence hero of coughs, hoarseness andsphle.gr, expectoration is not produced from talk ing cold, but from inhaling fine par ticles of quartz dust, with which the air has been filled for several months. These particles are carried into the lungs and throat and cause irritation, and the ire quer.t coughing is the intellectual effort of nature to rid the system of the foreign particles. The physician further stated that constant inhaiing of this fine quartz dust will produce symptoms almost iden- tical with and more speedily fatal than hereditary consumption. He cited the well known fact that the fatality among miners employed in the Crown Point and Belcher is due to the upper levels of these mines being constantly filled with quartz dust, which has played havoc with the young men employed there dur ing the past five years. The doctor re- ferred to christened the disease quartz dust consumption, and says the only remedy for it is to emigrate to moister climates like Oregon or Washington ter titory or locate ''on sands that are salt from the kiss of the sea-" The prevent i've is to keep the streets thoroughly wet down and to cease ballasting them with qua,tz.-Virginia (Nev.)

The Terrible Crime of R HlooSlthtrsty
 William in West Virginia

Inc 1efrib'e Srfhe of Hloolthirsty
 William in West Virginia.
 BALrIMoRE, March 26.-The Suns Charles ton (N. Na.) special says: Information hal reached here that last Saturday Thomas Woods, who lives on Donnelly's Fork of Mud r'ver, ill Lincoln county, near Tornado post office, sent word to his stepmother, Mrs Wooason Woods, that one of her neighbors across the hill was sick and wanted her tc come immediately. He concealed himself be- hind a tree near path to await her coming, and when sEe approached topped out and fired a pistol fuil at her breast, the bullet taking effect just below the nipple. She fell to he ground. To make sure of his work, Woods shot her again in %le neck, and after. ward dragged her to cliff near by and dropped her over it to the rocks below.
 Shortly afterward the woman recovered sufficiently to give an alarm, which was heard by men getting out cross ties, who went to her assistance, accompanied by Woods, who professed entire ignorance of the matter. She was conscious and relate the story of the shooting, accusing w, ods of being her assassin. When she had finished her narrative Mrs. Woods expired. The only known cause for the crime was a disagree ment between Woods and his stermuther about the division of property belonging to his father. Woods is now Ill jail

An Acknowledged Bankrupt.

PROVIDENCE, R. L, March 26-An inter. esting question of who is to pay is likely to come up out of the transactions of Patrick Fleming, of this city, who has b~en eng aged m the hay business for two years through the Banque du People and the Merchants bank, both Canadian institutions F.eming's acceptances during this period had been d is counted by these banks and they trusted him hberally, but he failed to meet the drafts which have matured within a week, and the bank officials have been looking for him. The amount due the banks is about S2O, ,OOO. The method was for Fleming's partner in Canada to draw on him for ten or twenty days for the price of the hay and the two banks would discount the drafts, and everything went smoothly until recently, when Flemins's note went to protest, and now it appears h. has only S125 on deposit. He says he is bank rupt to the amount of $40,O0 He offered five cents on the dollar. The banks refused this and Fleming has left town. The bank offic als have learned that the railroads have permitted Fleming to take the hay shipped tc him without showing his bills of lading.

Bullet Playing Miners.

The Scotch miner has many ways of amusing himself. Quoits is a favorite game of his; so is a game called round ers'-a sort of cricket-and cricket itself Is popular among the younger men, but with them football is the favorite pas time. Leaping. running, throwing the hammer and tossing the caber are all practiced, and in some parts a game called bullet playing" is in high favor. We have never seen this played except in the Lothians and Stirlingshirc, and there 1t was at One time crack anluse- ment. Rather a peculiar amusement, too. 1t Is played in this manner: A cer- tain distance, say a milo out and mile in, is fixed upon as the ground to be cov- cred by the players, and the man who does so i'll the fewest number of throws is declared the winner. The bullet is a polished ball of hard whinstone, and weighs from ten to fourteen ounces, and this ball the player takes into his hand and running to line drawn on the road. way, he swings his arm and throws with all his might. This is termed "hainch- ing the bullet," and good player can cover the mile ill five or six throws. The game is one mainly of strength, but good deal of skill can be shown in it.
 Each player has a man in front to show where the bullets should be landed. ana HIS DuSineSS Is 10 see that. If hlS dl- rections are followed, the bullet of his player will have the best part of the road to run on. The game is always played on the best highway in tho neigh borhood, and the authorities object to it as being dangerous, although we never have heard of any accident arising there from. A bullet match is to the Scotch miner what a dog fight is to his North umbrian or Staffordshire congener, or a prize fight to an East End .Londoner. The fact that it is forbidden by law adds to its attractiveness, and it affords ample opportunities for betting. Bets are made on the throw, on tho distance out and on the complete match, and when the two "dons' are playing excitement runs high.-Scottish World

A Pleasant Sort of Interview,

Mrs. Alice J. Shaw, whose success as whistler has made ripple of excite nent in two continents. Is very pleas antly established at the Burnet house. A Commercial Gazette representative had the pleasure of half hours chat with her. Mrs. Shaw is pleasantly at home i'll the prima donna suite of rooms on the parlor floor, and in pretty neghge gown of striped blue and red wool, the front a la Directoire, with revers of vivid red India silk, filled in with creamy lace, she was not only worth looking at. but worth studying carefully. for she is brunette of the Juno type, and as glorious bit of phy- slcal perfection as the reportorial eve often rests upon. After the preliminary civilities were over. the question was putt
 ''Now, Mrs. Shaw, tell me how one small throat can hold whistle enough to fill OUT big Music hall?"
 ''lt isn't small throat, to begin with. and it sometimes seems to me, when get particularly delicious note between my lips, can hold on to it forever; but know where the breath comes from to make it. Look here!'
 Mrs. Shaw united the ribbon girdle of her gown and drew back the lace of her bodice, disclosing the superb column of her throat and chest of extraordinary breadth, white as alabaster and firm as rock. The length of her figure from chin to belt is unusual, and slowed away under her black satin corsets is the ma chinery that has whistled her into fame and fortune--a splendid pair of lungs. * Here Mrs. Shaw just curved her red lips little, suppressed a couple of dinaples, and whistled bar or two as sweet and clear as O blackbird, ending with a roulade, that vanished note by note into silence. The listener thought old Chaucer knew what he was about when he wrote:
