4 SEISMIC Long HOW.
Getting at the Truth about the Recent
Mexican Earthquake.

San FRANCISCO, August 1.-THE
Chronicles Yuma, AriZona, correspon-
dent has made 4 trip to the town of
Lerdo, Mexico, which was reported
destroy yed by an earthquake.on July 81.
He reports that tue accounts OF the
earthquake have been greatly exagSer..
ated. No houses were destroyed and
he failed to find the place where the
Colorado River was reported to be
pouring into a tissure IN the earth.
There was no tidal wave in the Gulf OF
California, and the shock was hardly
felt there The statement that the hills
disappeared is explained by the fact
that portion ofthe sand blu1fone bum
dred feet high fell into the river. ,
The CORES spondent also investigated
the alleged disappearance of the river
on the day Of the earthquake. He
found that opposite Lerdo is large
island. A month ago the river flowed
in the east channel nearest to Lerdo.
Then it began to change into the west
channel. The cause was the gradual
eating away Of the sand bluff on the
mainland, which fell into the east chan
mel and blocked it up. This was noticed
three weeks before the earthquake.

4 BABY WHO SMOk ES.
The Father Who Taught Him TO Do So
VIII be Prosecuted.
New York Sun.

CHICAGO, August l6.-The Illinois
Humane Society has decided to pros
ecute the parents of two-year-old Leon"
ard Turner, the tobacco-smohing baby.
The child's case was brought to public
notice day or two ago. Ever since
the baby was two months old his
father, who is said to dissipated char
acter, has been teaching him to smoke.
The Child has now become so accus-
toned to the weed that he cries for his
pipe and tobacco.
The mother has had to work to sup
port the family, and of late has been
leaving the little boy at anursery. The
matron of the nursery refused to allow
the use of tobacco, and reported the
case. The Humane Society took the
matter up yesterday. The child was
found to be in a very feeble condition,
already suffering from acute nicotine
poisoning, aud having is what Is
known to physicians as the tobacco
heart.n His skin, eyes and brain are
also affected. lie displays little in
telligence, and brightens up only when
his pipe is placed before his eyes.

rIELwAS AZ RED SPRINGS.

Governor Tillmau is q man ot un-
usual ability. He is skillful debater
and politician, as he demonstrated IN
the last campaign. But We had not
expected to find in him the scholar and
the poet.
His Introductory remarks to the
Scotchmen Of North Carolina are
felicitous and show an appreciative
familiarity with the immortal Robbie
Burns and the literature OF Scotland
that we would not have expected from
the rough campa;gner of last year.
Its well, however, that some OF the
Governors quotations were veiled IN
the Scotch dialect, or else they must
have rather embarrassed the .5onny
Scotch lassies of Red Springs.
We cannot, OF course, agree Will
everything the Governor said, but
taken as 5 whole the address was an
admirable one, and the more remark
able in that it was delivered, rs we are
informed, without notes or manu-
script.
Mr.. Ti,lman's retnai Ks on tie Third
party are particular good and timely.
Coming as they DO from an Alliance
man in good and regular standing, no
doubt they will have great weight and
influence.
The only weak poiat in the whole
address is the Governors utterances on
the tariff. Admitting, IS he does,
that the people are being robbed by
the tariff, It is strange that the Gov
ernor can so belittle the issue involved
in the fight against the tariff. So Tar
rs Governor 1illman suggests leme-
dies for the evils that are now affilct-
ing the country, he is in almost entire
accord with Senator Butler and other
non-Aliiauce Democrats who nave
spoken recently.
While we voted for Tillman only be-
came we thought he was the regular
democratic nominee, the more We hear
Of him and from him, the better re-
concileG We become TO the way ID
which our vote was cast. There is
more in him that at one time we were
willingto believe.

DEATH OF A MUCH HOSORED WO-
MAN.
Mrs. James x. Polk PASSES Peacefully
Away IN Her EiShty-Ei.hth Year.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Aug 14.-Sur-
rounded by few loving friends and
relatives, Mrs. Jas. X. Polk, relict ofthe
tenth president Of the United States,
departed this life az 80 o'clock this
morning peacefully and quietly and in
full possession of her mental faculties.
Mrs. Polk had been in perfect health
until last Wednesday evening, when,
on returning from short drive she
was taken suddenly i'll, from which she
never recovered. Had she lived until
4th she would have been
eighteen years beyond the allotted time
of three score and ten. The cause Of
death was simply exhaustion from old
age. Bells throughout the city are
mournfully tolling and sympathy and
regret are heard from many friends, and
many gazed sadly OH the bulletins
which announced her death.

The woods are full Of "reforns' and
"reformers." There is the ballot re-
FORM" the reform press" and the "re-
formed drunkard"-who is generally
fuller than the woods-but the "dress
reform" takes the ca,,:e. It is going to
cut the number Of articles Of wonlan's
apparel FROM fourteen down to four.
How the women will spend their time
then is the question that will be agl-
tated. You needn't count on her get
ting ready for church any sooner, or
any other place she wants to go, even
if she has ten garments less to buckle
on. We don't see any signs Of the mil
lennium in this movement.

be, our observation was that OF those

In fact the Rev. Mir. longue, who was

She, too, could act her part, but not
