THE GREAT FUNERAL pYRe.


Nothing Has Ever Equailed the Scene

It Il believed that not less than 1000 Of
the drowned found lodgment beneath
the mass Of debris In the triangle Of
ground that the Conemaugh cut out Of
the bank between the river proper and
the Pennsylvania railroad bridge.
There was the greatest funeral pyre in
history. The victims were not upon 1t,
but were parts Of its horrible constitu-
ton. Whole houses were washed into

A Literal Brsast Of Fire.
The smoke arose in . huge funnel
shaped cloud. and at times 1t changed to
the form Of an hour glass. At night the
flames would light up this misty rem
nant Of mortality. The effect upon the
living, ignorant and intelligent, was the
same. That volume Of smoke, with Its
dual form, produced feeling Of awe in
many that was superior in most cases to
that in the awful moment Of the storms
here ON Friday afternoon. Hundreds
stood for hours regarding the smoke and
wondering IL it forbode another vista

Tho German Emperor in England.


One may be pardoned for doubling II there
Is much real heart in the reception rendered
the young Emperor of Germany notwith-
standing the outward manifestations Of cor
diality. OF course all such receptions on the
part Of the public are largely perfunctory,
and what enthusiasm there Is in them Is apt
to spring chiefly from feeling that the ma
tional interest will be subserved by 1t. But
there are good reasons why under ordinary
circumstances the reception of the German
Emperor by the royal family OF Great Britain
should be cordial and affectionste. Queen
Victoria is his grandmother, and all her sons
and daughters but one are his uncles and
aunts, aud that one is his mother. Never
theless we Imagine that the "healty greet
ings" which the Prince of Wales signalled
and the kisses which the Queen bestowed
on the cheeks Of the young monarch were
both simulations OF affection which did not
really exist. There is no good reason why
the Queen or the Princes or the English peo-
pie should love him. On the contrary there
Is very good reason why they should not

ter and her sincere and unpretentious living
The sickness and death Of her husband, the
late Emperor William, excited the keenest
sympathy of the English nation and aug
mented their devotion. The fact that she
was unpopular with royalty in Germany
only increased the respect aud affection OF
the English masses. Therefore when her
husband died and her son, the present Em
peror. came Et0 the throne his conduct tow
ard his mother must have aroused their bit
ter resentment. Falling in with the court
party he permitted them-if he did not sug-
gest Ito put upon his mother sights which
soon made her position unbearable and
drove her to seek refuge In England. Though
her persecution was indirect it was no less
bitter and malignant. The proceedings
against the publisher OF the Crown
Princes diary were usei to excite
public feeling against the dead EN-
peror's widow, the German Chancellor
leading OFF in this business. Or course no
such proceeding would have been begun, and
no such turn given TO it, had t-ey not met
the approval Of the young Emperor The
whole sum and substance OF Tie Empress's
offending was that she shsrp,i the liberal
views OF her deceased husband, views not
pleasing TO the court party nor to the young
Emperor. because they tended to curtail the
authority of the reigning dynasty. 1t Is not
possible that the son, who connived at, if he
did not actually inspire, the studied Insults
anu Sights put upon his mother. could be
held In affectlonate regard by her brothers
and sisters or her mother. 1t Is not In ac-
cordance with human natrre. 1t Is equally
impossible, too, that the English masses,
who loved and reverenced the German EN-
press. could feel any respect or affection for
her unnatural son. Interests OF State, how
ever, compel both sovereign and subject to
simulate an affection that they do not feel.

hundred squatters on that portion of the
upper flats owned by the Oppenheim syn

members OF syndicate residing in ST. Paul
and New York, were evicted to-day by an
overwhelming force of police and paid
agents of the syndicate.
There is nothing left of the thickly popu-

OF threats when the first attempt at eyic-
ton was begun. His business has gone
with the evlcted people, and there is no
longer any reason for him to stay. Some
OF the squatters have lived as long as fifteen
years IN the houses now DESTROYED, but the
continual presence of the officers cowed
them, and there was no chance for resist
ance If they had been SO disposed. The
women pleaded and cried in vain, ana the
men stood by stoically and watched the
destruction of the shsnties
When the evictions were first commenced
by the Sheriff the people were moved out
and the shanties left standing. This was
found to be bad way to accomplish the
desired end, for as fast as the deputies
moved the squatters out they moved Them
selves back again. II was then determined
to destroy the shanties after removing the
people, and this course proved effectual

Summary Punishment of "a Wyoming

CHEYENNE (Wyo. T.), July 1Sth.-The
women OF Fossil, small town On the Ore
gon Short Line, violently resented a bar
barous imposition on one of their sex by
horsewhipping John Lewis, saloon
keeper and gambler, late last night. Lewis
is brutal fellow, who frequently beat his
wife numerically.
On Tuesday she was teaching their little
boy prayer when the husband, after
knocking her down jumped on the delicate
woman, almost killing her. That night

or TWO instances, revolvers. visited The
Lewis establishment, and called the mus
cular brute outside. He came to the door.
but retreated at the sight of the female
Vigilance Committee. The women rushed
upon the common enemy, overpower
him and whipped him within an inch of
his life
Welts were raised all over his body. He
was blinded and blood flowed from the
wounds in his head. Lewis begged. but,
finding this of no avail, fell TO cursng.
HIS vile language was unnoticed until be
mentioned names. The men present OBJ
jected to this, and drawing revolvers
threatened to end the life of Lewis. The
latter had few friends, who declared that
he had been punished sufficiently. They
also produced six-shooters. The lights
went out in the big room and reckless fir
ing continued for no less than five minutes.
Women screamed and men cursed. The
iusllade over, an investigation was made.
Two men were wounded, neither seriously.
Half a dozen women were in Mysteries,
and one was gibbering idiot The cell
ing was full of bullet-holes, the bar per-
forated, glassware broken and two billiard
tables ruined.
There will be more trouble. Fossil is
regular hell's half acre." The men only
drink, gamble and fight. There was
killing there over a female two months
ago. Passenger coaches are locked when
trains stop at the place. The women who
whipped Lewis did not take the trouble to
disguise themselves.

Care of the Eyes.

Do not study or read by poor light
Light should come from the side, and not
from the back or from the front. Do not
read or study while suffering great bodily
fatigue or during recovery from illness. Do
not read while lying down. Do not use
the eyes too long at time for near work,
but give them occasional periods of rest.
Reading and studying should be done sys-
ttematically. During study avoid stoop-
ing position or whatever tends to produce
congestion of the head and face. Select
well-printed books. Avoid bad hygienic
conditions. Take sufficient exercise in the
open air. Let the physical keep pace with
the mental culture; for defective sight is
most usually observed in those who are
lacking in physical development.-Ney

stained by travel aud flannel shirt. There
was weeks growth of beard on his face
There were no marks visible to show where
Sullivan's ponderous fists had fallen.
Surprise having been expressed at his ap-
pearsnce, Kilrain smiled sarcasucslly.
" Do l look as though had been so
badly punished?n he asked.
In reply to question as to whether he
thought Sullivan fought fairly, he said
with some warmth that the big fellow COM
mitted some of the worst fouls he had ever
seen.
: Besides jumping on me when l was
down. said kilrain, he spiked me, and |
have deep cut on one of the toes of my
left foot where he planted one of his
spikes. Perhaps l hurt him in the same
way, but If did it was purely accidental,
claim which Sullivan has not made with
regard to the injury inflicted on me. 1t is
not likely that | would rush in with the
deliberate purpose of spiking him, and run
the chance OF receiving a blow that might
have finished me.
l am positive that Sullivan did not tight
fair, and am anxious to fight him again.
In regard to another fight with him, how.
ever, do not care to say much 1t is easy
to be misrepresented, and this fight has
caused so much trouble that it will not do
to begin talking about another meeting for
some time to come"
