DETERMINED TO MARRY.
A Young Girl Jumps From Window
and Breaks Her Leg, but
WEEDS all the Same.

ROANOKE, VA.-That love laughs at
locksmiths, has been demonstrated again
Lillian, the Is year old daughter of j.
Jcnnell, and Pryor Fitzgerald, a II year
old boy. were the principals of the affair.
The girl was in the upper portion Of the
mansion, but ut midnight she brayely
sprsng from a window to the ground.
Her lover and his brother were watching,
and quickly went to her. Discovering
that she could not walk, they carried her
nearly mile to church yard, summoned
a physician, who, after an examination,
said one of her legs was broken. The
bone was quickly set, and the young
lovers in carriage proceeded at 3 a. m. ,

People Living In q Volcano.

Thirty miles from the city of Kuma.
moto, Japan, is the volcano Aso San.
This volcano has the largest crater in
the world. 1t is more than thirty miles
in circumference, and peopled by 2O,-
900 inhabitants, says tho Chicago
Times. Think of walking for miles
among fertile farms and prosperous
villages, peering into tho school
house windows and sacred shrines, oil
within the shell of IN oldtime crater,
whose wallis rise 500 feet oil about you.
1t gives one n queer feeling. Hot
springs abound everywhere. In ono
place 1 saw the brick-red hot water
utilized to turn a rice mill. The inner
crater is nearly half a mile in diameter,
and steady column of roaring steam
pours out of it.
The last serious eruption ~as iii
1884. when immense Quantities oI
black ashes and dust were elected and
carried by the wind as far Ms Kuma-
motto, where for three days 1t was SO
dark that artificial light had to be
used. But what interested me most
was to learn that out of that old-time
crater had come not only a stream OF
pure water and many kinds of farm
product, but young men who, seeking
q wider school and home than the
mouth of vigorous volcano, had
found their way to Kumamoto, kyoto,
and America, aud were now foremost
among the Christian educators and
preachers of Japan.
The pulpit orator of Osaka, the
principa! of an English school ut
Kumamoto, who is a graduate OF
Andover, and one of the Doshisha
professors at Kkoto, Nes Haven
graduate, all came from that valley o

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.
The President Calls Upon the People

The President Calls Upon the People
to Study the Financial Situation.
WASHINGTON, ID. C,-The President
said Monday evening in reply to direct
question hyy repro ;oututive OF the United
Press that he Intended to call an extra
session Of Congress not earlier than the
1st nor later than the 18th of September,
unless unexpected contingencies should
nccessitate an earlier meeting.
The President further said: "While
there has been no mystery nor secrecy In
regard to my Intention in this matter, ]
think it is not amiss that our people
should DO informed au,horitivelv that ~.
t,ne Is at hand when their representatives
in Congress will be called upon to deal
with the financial condition, which is the
only menace to the country's welfare and
prosperity. 1t is we'll for tho people to
take up the subject for themselves and
arrive at their own conclusions as to the
merits Of the financial policy, which
obligos us to purchase idle silver bu'lior
with gold taken from our reserve. One
does not need the eye of n 'tinaucier to see
that this gold, thus subtracted from tho
government stock, is eagerly seized by
other nations for the purpose of strength
cning their own credit at our ey, .nso.
ut docs not need the art os ,/osman.
ship TO detect the daugerV await,
upon the continuanc, of thist ,'cration
Already the timidity of capital is pain
fully apparent and none Of us can fail to
ses that tho fear aud apprehension in
monetary circles will ultimately bring
suffering to every humble home in our
land.
81 think that between now and the meet
ing Of Congress much depends upon the
action Of those engaged in financial oper-
ations and business enterprises. Our vast
national resources and credit are abun.
dainty sufficient to justify them in the
utmost faith and confidence. If, in
stead of being frightened, they arc con.
scrvativc, and if, instead of gloomily an,
ticipating immediate disaster, they con.
tribute their share of hope and steadincss
they will perform patriotic duty and a,
the same time protect their own interest.
The things just now needed are coolncs.
and calmncss in financial circles and
study and reflection among our people. ;

Georgia MELONS Moving.

Georgia melons have started North.
The first carload was shipped from AL
bany, Ga, to Cincinnati, and they are
going by the traidload to points all the
way from Boston to st. Paul. Melon
growers say the crop will be unusually
large and that the melons will be of good
quality. About 1000 acres are planted
to melons in southwest Georgia alone.
An idea Of the size Of the shipments can
be gained when it is stated that the
Georgia Central Railroad Co. expects to
ship 5000 carloads. The Chicago demand
will be very large, and the growers antic.
lpate realizing good prices for the fruit.
