Presented With Artificial Eyes.

There are two girls in New York city
who are. well provided against emer-
gencies. They have duplicate eyes
safely packed away in their jewel boxes
against possible accident. When they
were in Vienna last year they visited
the Salviati glass factory, where the
6nest artificial eyes in TIE world are
made. During their visit they were
surprised at the very steadfast gaze of
one of the workmen, but Of course took
no notice of the seeming inpertinence.
A few days later each received little
box which. being opened, was found to
contain most accurate copies in glass OF
their lovely eyes and a little note re-
questing their acceptance. and sayjnU
that they might at some future time be
found o great convenience

Riots in Asiatic Russia
Growing Out of the Cholera Epideml

Growing Out Of the Cholera Epidemic.
Private letters which have been received
from Asiatic Russia give particulars of the
serious riots which occurred there July 6 in
connection with the cholera epidemic.
News of the riots has been suppressed by
the government. Five thousand Sarts,
driven to madness over the reported cruel
ties to cholera patients, attacked the depu-
ty governor and beat him to death, mutt
lating the features beyond recognition.
The Sarts were armed with revolvers and
daggers, and when the troops hurried to
the scene a hand-to-hand conflict took
place. The Sarts were finally dispersed,
but soon collected around the mosques
and, taking possession of these editices,
set about converting them into forts, and
defied the authorities to do battle with
them. A large number of soldiers was
sent to dslodge the SaIts from their strong
holds. The Sarts made a sturdy resist2Rce
to the soldiers and fired from looph& es
with telling effect. The troops at last car
ried the mosque and a scene of carnage
ensued. The fighting inside the structures
was desperate and sanguinary. No quar-
ter was asked for or given. The Sarts fell
by scores before the weapons of the sol
diers, their desperate courage being unwav-
ering and their defiance unceasing to the
end. Sixty Sarts were killed and hun
dreds were wounded. The soldiers, too,
suffered heavily, the Russian loss being IL
killed and many wounded. 1t is feared
that there may be a renewal of the trouble
and the troops have been strongly rein
forced.

The Great sangIr DIsnster.

Particulars gathered from letters and
newspaper accounts about the recent erup-
ton of the volcano GunOna on Great San
cir Island, state that the eruption began
at p. NJ. on a day early in June and was
unheralded by the slightest seismic warning.
Immense volumes of fame and smoke and
masses of stone suddenly burst from the
volcano. The stones fell all over the is
land, killing hundreds of natives who were
busy in getting in the rice crops. Those
who succeeded in reaching their homes
found no refuge, many houses having been
crushed beneath the weight of the falling
stones, and roofs having collapsed under
the weight of ashes, burying the inmates,
in many instances whole families.
Streams of lava flowed with frightful
rapidity down the slopes of the burning
mountain, upon which there were situated
numerous farms and villages. Houses and
fugitives alike were overwhelmed by these
rivers of molten rock. 1t is estimated that
over 1000 persons persisted on the slopes
of the mountain and many hundreds more
in the lOwlands, but the exact loss of life
is not yet known, though it will reach
many thousands.
A week after the eruption had abated
the inhabitants were still in a state OF
terror and would not approach the scene
of disaster. The island is now threatened
with famine, all the crops having been de-
stroyed. Cocoa trees are still standing,
but their leaves and fruit have been de
stroyed and their stems left bare. In
many parts of the island wells have become
dry.

why They Come Here.

We suppose this must be more pros
porous country than Canada, or so many
Canadians would not come here; more at
tractive than Germany and Italy, or so
many Germans and Italians would not be
drawn here; more pleasant to live in than
any European country, or so many people
would not come here from the countries of
Europe. True it is that no foreign country
gives its people all that the American peo-
pie enjoy, peace with freedom, prosperity
with progress, social order with political
equality, religious liberty without any &C.
clesiastical establishment, and a represen-
tative government under a constitution of
unparalleled excellence. 1t is not surpris-
ing that nearly all the foreigners who come
to the United States become imbued with
patriotism under the benefcent influence
of our American institutions.-Ne,g York

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
The Iron HalIin Trouble.
Immense Debts of the oldest Benefit En-
dOwment order.

Immense Debts of the oldest Benefit En-.
dOwment order.
1t is alleged that the Order of the Iron
Hall, the parent organization of all the So
called benefit endowment orders, is insolv-
ent, and a receiver has been applied for.
The complaint makes serious charges
against Freeman Somerby, the vice-presi-
dent, of Philadelphia. The order is NUT
ual benefit association and has a maturity
fund and a disability benefit, the former
paying out at the end of seven years in
sums of $1,000, $500, 5000 and $500 as the
members may elect. The complaint says
that Freeman Somerby is the supreme JUS
tice of the order and that its highest tribu-
nal, of which he is the head, is the SUI
preme sitting, which the bylaws say shall
be called together twice every year. 1t
then charges that the order is totally insOl-
vent, that it has accrued debts for 1892 of
1926, 900; for 1898 of S4,650, 900; for
1894 of ST, $50, 600, and for 1895 of 50, $50,
O00-all of which sums are for maturity
and disability benefits. 1t sets forth the
assets to be a reserve fund of 81, 200, 900,
only one-seventh of which is available each
year, and real estate to the value of 81 ,000,-
600, and that over half of these assets are
under the control of the bank of which
Freeman Somerby is vice-president, in
Philadelphia.
The complaint then sets forth that Free
man Somerby has willfully misapprOpri-
ated the funds that have come into his
hands; that he has altered the orders
books to cover up his shortage; that he has
taken at least $500 year for his pri-
vate travelling expenses, a sum that should
have gone to the reserve fund; that he had
failed to call a meeting. of the supreme
sitting for a number of years past, and
that at its last one he coerced it into in
creasing his salary from $1,000 to $4,000
year.
The plaintiffs say further that they are
members of the order in good standing,
and that they have benefits due them which
they fully believe will never be paid.
