A LAKE OF FIRE.
The Sublime Scene Presented by Burn
ing Volcano.

ing Volcano.
The following remarkable account
from the writings of joaquin Miller ha.
reference to the volcano of Mauna Loa,
in the Sandwich Islands: "After visit
ing the American consul at Honolulu
we started for the volcano, and after .
hard, hot climb reached the edge of a
precipice overhanging lake of molten
| fire ten miles in circumference and 10:
feet below us This is called by tha
natives kiliauea or god of fire. 1t is
the largest active volcano in the world
and is G,000 feet above the sea level
This molten mass went dashing against
the cliffs on the opposite side with q
noise like the deep and mighty surges
of stormy ocean. Waves of blood-red
fiery liqrid lava hurled their billows
on an iron bound headland and then
rushed up the face of the cliff to toss
their CORY spray high in the air. This
restless heaving lake of fire boiled and
bubblcd, never remaining silent for a
single instant, There is an island on
one side of this lake which the fiery
waves attack increasingly and with re-
lentless fury, as if bent on hurling it
from its base. On the other side there
was large cavity, into which this
burning mass rushed with a loud roar,
breaking down in its impetuous, head
long career the gigantic stalactites that
overhung the mouth of this cavern, and
finging up the liquid material for the
formation of new ones. 1t is terribly
grand, magnificently sublime; but no
words can adequately describe such a
scene and no power but that of 0mnip-
otence produce it. t.'-Chicago News.

SENATOR PEFFER'S ADDRESS,

I
On Being Called to Preside Over the De-
ence.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN be called
upon to preside over party like this,
called together not only under circum-
stances unusual, but altogether extra
ordinary and peculiar, is distinguished
honor. This meeting of the people
ought to be regarded as one of the most
important assemblages ever convened
upon American soil. Applause.
We are upon the eve of an election
more important to the interests of the
people of this country, and to the en-
tire world, men and women, than any
that has been brought together during
this century. We have before us a
power that has conquered every nation
which has gone down in the records OF
history.
We are here to take hold Of, and to
undermine and dispose of, a power that
is crushing the people, not only in
America, but all over the world. Zap.
plause.
1t is the power that has its hands not
only upon your home and mine, but
those of at least fifty per cent of the
working people of the entire world,
and we are assembled here to devise
some means and we are united in that
the money power must be dethronei
Applause.
The people are here and the power OF
the people is like the power of an ava
lanche, which gathers strength as it
glides down the mountain sides and
sweeps down everything in its way.
Cheers and applause.
Now, gentlemen and ladies, permit
me to give you word of encourage
ment and word of caution. We have
started and there is no such thing as
stopping us A voice: That's It'll, and the
right thing to do is to keep in the mid.
die of the road Applause. A voice;
That's right, and to go ahead. More
applause.
This is not the party of the democrats
or of the republicans; it is the party of
the people. [Cheers and applause.] We
have the voters; we have the brains, and
we have got the courage. Applause.
Now, then, let me tell you little
story. Some of you, and especially the
Kansas people, remember James II.
Lane, of Leavenworth, Kan. When
the boys went to war they wanted to
have cavalry-they insisted upon organ
izing cavalry regiment, and they did
not want to enlist unless they were on
horses. Well, Lane wanted to organize
an infantry regiment, for they did not
have money enough to buy horses
and he said: II will tell you what we
will do, we will start out infantry and
we will come back cavalry" Laughter
cheers and applause. To-day we will
start out as infantry; next year we will
come back as cavalry. Cheers.
Now to do that-which is inevitable
Ia voice, amen. let's see that the
way is made perfectly clear for the
birth of Eli.
When the people send up their regu-
lar representatives to give us our stand
ard bearers, if we do not capture this
country in 1892, we will be like jim
Robinson when he had told the boys he
could jump forty-five feet, he said he
could jump very near it. [Cheers.
Iwish to thank you profoundly for
your consideration; am not as strong
as when | was younger, but if you will
help me, | will manage to get through
with this york to the very best of my
ability. Cheers and applause.

ciNciNNATI, May 2O.-The nationa,
union conference delegates were slow
ABOUT assembling this morning, as there
was some misunderstanding as to the
'iihe when they were to meet Pre-.
vlous to the calling of the convention
TO order, a meeting of the citizens Al.

one of the halls of the
building and some of those who wora
not members were initiated. Ason the
opening day the proceedings were open.
ed by prayer. The convention is com.
posed largely of church members. and
deeply religious feeling pervades the
gathering
1t was ten o'clock when temporary
Chairman Cunningham raped for or.
der, While waiting for the report Of
the committee on credentials Cap. CA,
Power was allowed to make a financial
statement regarding the expenses of
the conference He said that he had
received, outside of the local contrib,,-
tions 1868, and had expended S365. Mr..
Wllkln, OF Kansas, asked the convention
TO contribute and settle up all outstand.
ing bills, and that Capt. Power be re-
warded for his services. This motion
was seconded by the Indiana delegation
and unanimously carried. The hat was
passed around and a considerable
amount raised, Ohio alone contributing
$40
While the collection was being taken
up the venerable Jesse Harper, of
Illinois, one of the warehouses in the
greenback movement, and very anus
ing speaker, was call to the front, and
he made a characteristic speech, in
which he urged all to contribute liber-
ally, and offered his own hat for that
purpose. 1t was filled with bills and
silver in a very few minutes. He de-
clared that the money question is the
great issue. The country was going to
be born again.
He likened those who opposed the third
party to lot of chickens in a nest.
Some of them were just out of the shell,
but would not leave the nest Others
just had their heads out. This was the
condition of those who did not want
the third party. He warned those who
tried to oppose this movement that it
would be like buffalo which tried to
stop a herd and that the people would
run over them. 1t couldn't be stopped
and the people would have new party
right away.
The committee on credentials made
its report to the conference. 1t was
shown that besides the delegates to the
conference regularly elected, there
were Representatives of 107 reform pa
pcrs present, and it was recommended
that they be allowed seats in the con-
vention.
The delegations to the conference by
states, as reported to the conference,
were as follows

IN THE INDIAN COUNTRY.

Cattlemen Encroaching On the Red Mems
Territory and Taking Every Advantage
of Them.
Capt. E. P. Ewers, Indian agent on
Tongue river, who has just completed
tour of Indian camps within radius of
200 miles of Tongue river agency, says
the people now to be feared are not
the Indians, but the cattlemen, who
want all the land they can grab for
their cattle to roam over, and will not
allow any one else to establish them
selves. The cattlemcn, the captain
said, were the people who stirred up
the Indians by stealing their lands and
taking advantage of them in every way,
and the Indians were complaining bit
terly of the encroachments of these
marauders.

out of bed and lit the gas. At the
same moment a burly colored fellow
sprang upon her. gripped both of

keep quiet or he would kill her.
The girl struggled frantically, and
managed to release her right arm. In

face, and gave him another with all her
force. She then aroused the whole
house with her screams. He released
her, and sprang out through window,
taking the sash with him. OF course,

agent has charge of an enormous grizzly
bear-an animal that all well-informed
sportsmen regard as the most vicious,
fearless and dangerous wild animal on

events he has got the grizzly to take
care of, and in year the only harm it
has done was when 1t tore little girls

that grizzlies are easy to handle if you

you want is baseball bat. When they
get fractions you hit em a whack or

FALSE HYDRouHoBIA.

DR.. William A. Hammond, in q
recent article in the Forum. entitled
False HyArochobiF," says:
Tnere ARE vero fe~ persons who
are not more or less under the icia-
euce Of "suggestion." Several years
ago q man confined in the town pr:s-
OIL in the city Of New York killed
himself by cutting tue femorai
artery. tao main artery Of the thigh.
There was no previous case on rec
ord Of a,.ch mode of sulciie and
vet within n few days several persons
destroyed themselves by cutting the
fenerai artery.
We have all heard Of the nan who
thinking be was being bled TO death
while his eyes were bandaged and
a stream of water was allowed to
fow over his arm, actually died with
in the prope. time, with all the symp,
toms that would have ensued had he
really died Of hemorrhsgP.
That such disease as hydropho>
bia should be simulated By nervous
people under the principal of sug-
gestion is not surprising. And ev-
cry year IS summer approaches
cases OF the kinl are frequent.
Tue victim of false Eydrophobia
can only have those SYMPTOMS With
which lie is acquainted, but owing to
the press, the laity understand most
of the symptoms but not the refined
once, which enable the physicians to
distinguish the false from the real.
1t often happens that person
easily affected by suggestion has
what be considers the symptoms OF
hydrophohia develop very soon af-
ter a month has elapsed, from the
time of incubation. In many cases the
time has varied from twenty fiSe
days TO four months, the interval
probably never exceeds Two wears
or IS less than ten days.
The subject Of false hydrophobia
knowing that fear of water is the
principal symptom, canDot drink
water, but fiGds no difficulty in
drinking whisky, milk, &c, whereas
in the real disease The sufferer can
not drink any liquid. Persons suf-
fering with false hydrophobia often
