burning Mo 1ntains Of South and Central
America That Do Deadly Work.
The volcano of Alma, in Peru, which
for century and half had been con-
sidered extinct, suddenly awoke fl ON
Its long sleep the other day and began
pouring forth lava. smoke and ashes in
such quantities as to obscure the sun
up to the date of the last report, says
Panama correspondent of the Phila-
6elphia Press.
Together with this news comes an
account Of remarkably severe earth
uuakes in Ecuador that shook the
whole Pacific slope and extended far
into the interior. A series of rapid.
violent shocks continued one minute
and some seconds. 1t created the
greatest terror in Guayaquil, where at
every convulsion it appeared as though
the pile-built structures must go over.
However, no damage to speak of oc-
cured there. but several accounts of
disasters had arrived from the in
terror. At Canar seven families and
their homes are known to have been
swallowed up by the earth. One Gu
rious incident at Guayaquil was the
bursting open of the doors of the peni-
tertiary. Many convicts escaped be-
fore the demoralized guards could pull
themselves together to prevent 1T.
Then the guards fired indiscriminately
ON the prisoners, those fleeing from
crumbling walls as well as those es-
Gaping. The city waterworks were SO
damaged that water famine was i'm
minent. This series of shocks was felt
over an area of e:-Slty thousand square
miles. At almost the same time Coto-
paXi and Turgurahua burst forth in
such terrible activity as has not
characterized them during the last
two centuries. The South American
volcanoes frequently ravage their i'm
mediate neighborhood, but it is be-
|ieved here is another instance that
they are safety valves that render the
continent habitable.
Reports of unusual volcanic activity
all along the line of the continental

the beginning of the year, and those

ing accounts arrived last week
from Mexico of the condition of
Colima, which, pouring forth vast
volumes of lava and a regular bonn
bardment of rocks and ashes, had sent
the people Of Jalisco fleeing in terror
from their houses. Only few months
ago dispatches from Chilli and Peru
told of fierce outbursts among the
volcanoes of the southern Andes, and,
later vet, of the seismic disturbance in
the volcanic region of Cauca, in
Colombia, by which an entire mountain
ridge was swallowed up and a deep de-
preston left, while elsewhere in that

The Bank President Lost That Chilly
Feeling Very Suddenly.
A we1l-known contractor walked
into bank in this city the other day
to cash check for forty dollars. says
the Washington Post. The paying teller
looked at the check few minutes,
then counted out four hundred dollars
and handed it to the contractor, who,
although he noticed the error. said not
a word, but rolled up the bills and
wadded them down into his pocket
This happened in the morning, and
about two O'Clock the same afternoon,
before the officials of the bank had an
opportunity to discover the error, the
contractor walked into the Office of the
president Of the bank.
''Is this bank responsible for the
errors of its clerks?" he asked the pres
ident.
IF it can be proved that any of our
clerks have erred" replied the presi-
dent, in very chilly manner, I'VE will
make the correction"
'.Well, nobody saw this error made
but myself continued the contractor,
land my word ought to be sufficient
proof. think"
Il am sorry, SIR" said the bank pres
ident. ''but we shall have to have ad-
ditional proof. We require this in order
to protect ourselves; that is all"
every well, SIR" replied the con-
tractor, rising to leave. Il am sorry
cannot furnish what you demand. The
error referred to was the payment of
four hundred dollars for check that
called for only forty dollars; but, as
no one saw me receive the extra three
hundred and sixty dollars, l suppose
you will not want to correct the mis-
take. Good day, sir"
Hold on. Come back" shouted the
bank president, who by this time vas
'wide-awake to the abyss to which
he had been led.
The matter was soon adjusted salts
factorily, and now when any person
reports an error at that bank the first
question asked is: Gin whose favor"

Belief That the Sun Chases Stars and
Bites Them.
When the last comet was streaming
in the sky was camping one night IN
canyon near the foot of Cooks peak.
In the party was an old and-for an
Indian-fairly intelligent Ute, named
Sam. Sam had been attached to some
cavalry troop at Fort Cummings as a
scout. but his day of leaving the service
being reached he attached himself to
me-for a consideration-says writer
in the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Pointing to the comet asked Sam
what he could say in its defense from
the standpoint of Ute. Sam was. I'M
like most Indians. a great taiker, and
could speak English very well. lie
was ambitious to perfect himself In
the language, and readily seized On
every chance for talk. Indeed,
discovered him on one or two occasions
all alone and talking vigorously at

with great good grace, and to his cred

do; the lateness of the hour may have
prevented.
Harvard, unlike Yale, is a place of
cliques and clubs. There is fat red
book in almost every fellows room
the students are fellows" as often as
they are ''men." Should you ask ''Who
is sawyer" the Harvard man would
tell his chum to get out the red-book
and upon examining it would reply:
Sawyer, why he is member Of the
o. K. club, the 177o's, the Anti-Treat-
ing and the Crimson"
That settles it-Sawyer is good fell
low. That fat red-book. how many a
students standing it has determined
with his companions! There are pages
where it would be-indeed, it is, in the
college world, at least-worth your
weight in gold to find thereon your
name enscrolled. Such one is the
page devoted to the members Of the
'Porc," or the 'Pork," or, again, the
Porcelain Club, I" beyond whose closed
doors there is nothing, to Harvard
man, that may compare. In vain 1
knocked at the outer gates OF the
"Porc!" That big Milwaukee brick
building, just outside the grounds Of
the college, was, apparently, untenant-
ed, and certainly was as quiet as the
grave, to all outward appearances.
Occasionally a student would come to
the door, ring with a peculiar ring,
shake hands with a peculiar. free-ma-
son-like clutch, and be admitted,
while would be left to sniff the fresh
breezes on the windy corner. From
across the street the pleasing picture
was revealed to me of good fellows,
lolling at their ease in the club win
dows, smoking cigarettes and chatting
gayly enough-and that is all know
of the famous ''Porc"

mosaics; the ceiling was hand painted.
The chambers were as dainty as those
of the finest lady in the land; the walls
and ceilings were decorated in light

until, on the top partition, were half a
dozen slippers in various colors. The
polish on the boots and shoes was akin
in glory to the rising sun, showing that
the valet or groom understood his

whom is in the same gilded circle,
each of whom spends money like
water, keeps his private groom, has
his private traps to ride up and down
the highways and byways of veneer
able Cambridge, and each of whom
has dozen claims to social, sporting,

besides, it might make trouble for the
boys with some gruff old guardian who
would cut down allowances. The fact
is, If there be three men in Yale who
spend three thousand dollars year,
there are a hundred fellows in Har-
ward who dissipate five thousand; and

he whirls down to Newport, you may
rest assured that he is only one of a
dozen, and that the twelve men all be-
long to the same circle, bound together
by ties inexplicable and indissoluble.
AS in Yale, there are about twice as
many students as there are dormi-
tories, the result being that the men
must, of necessity, take rooms outside
the grounds. Some of the boys dwell
sumptuously in Claverly hall and in
Beck hall, while others live in private
houses, in the ordinary apartments
rented by clearinghouse keepers. in
which there may be an old stove. a
china pitcher on washstand, an old
fashioned bed, and a general air of
dinginess. At night, the wind rattles
the panes, and the rats run in the
wall, but no one needs that; the fire
burns brightly and the lad has stout
heart. 1t must not be supposed that
all the students are the petted sons of
the wealthy and influential. Far from
it! 1 had long talk with one who
has seen many privations in Harvard;

rather starve thai work. He has en-
tered into many departments of
college life, athletic, religious and

ceived everywhere. Yet he is
wretchedly poor. He does his own
washing. He has typewriter, and
ekes out many chance dollar by odd
jobs from the merchants, such as
copying, letter writing and so on. In
the evening he acts as an usher in the
theater, and is thus assured of small
but constant income. when times are
slack he gets work as a bill poster.
He is cheerful. bright and reasonably
