MANY TOWNS LAID IN RUINS.
Great Destruction of Property and
Heavy Loss of Life by an
Earthquakes.


ATHENS, April 2l.-Reports from the
district which were visited by the
earthquake Of Friday show that the
shocks were most severe and that
the damage done was much greater
than was at first supposed. The
town of Neapille, near Atalanta,
otherwise known as Talanda, seven
miles north of Mount Talanda is heap
of ruins. A number of persons were
injured in Talanda. Chalsis, capital of
Eubosa, seventeen miles from Thebes,
and Larissa have also sustained consid-
cradle damage, but Thebes suffered
most of all. Its inhabitants will
have to be promptly succored
by the government, as they
are said to be without food or shelter.
Some time may elapse before full details
of the disaster are obtainable, although
every effort is being made to obtain ac-
curate information upon the subject.
Thebes is on a height anciently occu-
pied by the Cadmeian citadel. 1t is sit
uated twenty-six miles from Bivadia
and has a population of about 5000.
The total number of deaths thus far
reported is 100, but there is scarcely any
question that this number Will be aug
mented when the more remote villages
are heard from.

\ TREE HIS NOM MENT.
The Simple Grave of the 'sPlumed
KNIGHT

The Simple Grave of the ssPlumcd
knight
The Washington Post recently con-
tanned cut of the plain, unostentatious
grave of Names greatest statesman,
James G.. Blaine. A tall, weat her beaten,
lightning shattered old hickory-tree is
the only monument to this mans mem
Dry. 1t is not sign of neglect, but in
accordance with his expressed desire that
no other shaft than the old forest tree
stand above his erumbling bones.
The Blaine lot is in Oak Hill cemetery,
down the hill from the little red sand
stone chapel and overlooking a small
creek. The plot of ground was purchased
when Walker Blaine, the favorite son.
died in 1890. 1t became the burial place
the next month of Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine's
daughter, Mrs. Coppinger. Walker
Blaine's grave is marked by plain mon
ument, having the simple inscriptions
"Walker Blaine, born Augusta, Me-, May
IS, 1855, Died Washington, January 10,
$780, Mrs. Coppingers grave is marked
by Celtic cross inscribed: "Alice Stan
wood, daughter of James G. Blaine and
wife of Col. J. j. Coppinger, L. S. A.,
Born Augusta, Me-, March IS, 1860, Died
Washington, February 2, 1890. Erected
by her sorrowing husband"
Nothing but a small footstone denotes
the grave of the father The initials,
~. G.. b. are the only things to indi-
cate whose body lies beneath the sod
The tree is the headstone. 1t was once a
magnificent hickory, but few years be-
fore Mr.. Blaine purchased the lot it was
struck by lightning, and the scars still
remain. 1t has been pruned and trimmed,
however, and gives indications of living
on for years to come. 1t was under this
tree, that Mr. Blaine, shortly before his
deaf h, expressed his wish to be laid. This
request was granted, and the stately and
sturdy tree tittingly became his monu-
ment.
Yet the simple grave of the "Plumed
Knight" is the most sought after of any
of the famous spots in the cemetery.
The visitors every day even hurry by the
handsome monument erected to the
memory of John Howard Payne, the au-
thor of "liome, Sweet Home to stand
beneath the hickory tree marking the
Maine statesman last resting place,
The knowledge of the fact that no
monument is erected over Mr.. Blaine's
grave will probably serve to stimulate
the effort being made to raise funds for
the erection of a monument to his mem
DRY in his adopted state.

Maine In CoIun,bia's Garland


They are weaving a beautiful garland
To place on Coumbia4 brow,
The West aud the south re 1Ntdvlms,
And we must hc weaving now
A leaf or bud or flower
An! we need not look ii vain.
Can the land give ri liter blossoms
Than those In the woods of Maine?
SO many! o how can we choose it?
Shall 1t be the golden rod!
Shall we gather the apple blossoms,
Or the violctS fresh from God!
Shall 1t be the star eyed daisy?
Shall it be the ripened grain,
That we pick Tor our mothers garland,
Out of the fields of Maine?
Shall we carry bud or a blossom,
branch or n tiny t"ig?
They will need them in all the garland,
They can use the smallest sprig-
Something pure and precious,
That the rest would not obtain,
We must pick for our mothers garland
Out of the woods of Maine.
Shall it be the opening rosebud?
Shall it be the fragrant pink?
They can bring more beautiful roses
From the Sacramento's brink
Shall it be the water lily
Whose petals the snow flakes stain?
There are lilies just as white and sweet
AS those in the lakes of Maine.
Fair is the star.eyed daisy,
Queenly the golden rod,
Sweet is the purple violet
Peeping up from the sod,
And the royal buttercup
Over the fields can reign,
But we want to carry something else
Out of the woods of Maine.
We will go to the deepest forests
Where the brooks and the sparrows sing,
And a branch from the talest tree-top
Ont of the shades we'll bring.
And we'll pick for our mothers garland,
A branch that is truly ours,
From tree she gave US long ago.
And will weave 1t among the flowers.
Mother of States and Nations!
Mother Of noble men
Out of the pine tree forests
We come to thee again.
Forest and happy island,
River and singing sea,
Brooklet and bird and maiden
Join In the jubilee.
We have given our sons and brothers
In the days of bitter strife,
We have given our hearts best treasures
For libcrty's precious life,
They lie by many hill side,
They sleep by many plain,
And because they died we can send a gift
out of the woods of Maine.
Not to the sound of hugle,
Not with the martial drum
DO we bring this gift, but with blessings,
And with songs of peace we come;
over the hills and valleys,
Saved hy the blood OF the slain,
We bring our pledge of loyalty
To thee, and the state of Maine.
Mother of States and Nationst
We bring our native pine,
And we swear by the faith we owe thee,
Md the help of the hand divine,
Love that Is strong and ferVent,
Love that is sweet and pure,
Growing, forever growing,
\ long as the pines endure.
