what variety of emotions and pas

gestures. An anecdote told of Will

lustrates the power of this form of art
in an amusing way.
A gentleman who was one of an
audience held spellbound by a splendid
harangue of Preston's from the stump
one day noticed beside him man
whom he knew to be very deaf. but
who seemed to be listening with
breathless attention, and who appar-
emily caught every word that fell from
the orators lips Now tears of delight
rolled down his checks, and again he
would shout out applause in ungov-
ernable ecstasy.
AT last, when particularly splendid
passage had been delivered, with the
effect of raising storm of applause
from the audience, the deaf man, as if
he could contain himself no longer.

Earthquakes IN aREEoE.
Several Cities Totally Destroyed by
Repetition of the Shakes.

Several Cities Totally Destroyed by
Repetition of the Shakes.
ATHENS, Greece, April 2s.-Another
earthquake shock last night was felt
throughout the country, including the
islands of Syria and Sante, and immense
damage was done. The shock was felt
with the greatest severity at Thebes and
Atalanta, both of which places were ex-
tensiyely damaged by the last shocks.
Both cities were completely destroyed,
not single house being left standing.
Incalculable damage was done at half
dozen other places.
M. Boupides, minister of the interior,
has received adv1ces that in the Lokrist
district alone 800 persons were killed.
Three hundred and thirty-five bodies
have already been recovered. About
300 were injured. The people of Alta
lanta have fed to the hills for safety.
In this district there was continuous
series of shocks. In seven hours and
half 315 shocks were counted. When
the earth's movement began and houses
tottered and fell many inhabitants for
got everything except their personal
safety. They ran wildly from the
doomed city and sought firm standing
place on the hills that rise behind the
town.
Huge masses of rock were detached
from the mountains and hurled with
laundering crash into the valleys below.
Eye witnesses of the scene describe it as
having been an awe-inspiring exhibition
of the mighty forces of nature before
which man was utterly helpless.

Prospects in St Paul.
NOT A TRAIN MOVED SATURDAY
The knights of Labor Join the Strik-

Grand Master Sovereign.

ST.. PAUL, April 2S.-A general freight
tie-up is one of the immediate prospects
of the strike. The Great Northern, the
Union Depot company, the Milwaukee
& st. Paul and the Chicago & Great
Western own most,of the yard trackage
in st. Paul. The Great Northern switch
men refuse to turn switch in the yards.
AS cons luence, freight trains of the
Omaha and the Burlington, whose busi-
ness is handled by the Great Northern,
are stalled in the yards here. The
Northern Pacific, in connection with the
Minneapolis & st. Louis, owns its own
lines between st. Paul and Minneapolis,
and should not be put to serious incon-
venience. With the exception of these
roads and the Milwsu kee & st. Paul
and the Chicago 6 Great Westerr. the

SOME ODD CUSTOMS.
Similarity of Hawaiian Csages to Tho
of the Hebrews

Similarity of Hawaiian CsaEes to Those
of the Hebrews.
The manner of disposing of the dead
in the Hawaiian islands is also in ac-
cord with the Hebrew custom, saws a
writer in Lippincott's. The body was
embalmed and covered with glutin-
GUS substance or wash, to seal effect
ually the pores of the skin and exclude
all air. The body was then deposited
in the side of a precipice. The prac-
tice of immOlating one or more wives
of chief was carried on to consider
able extent in the Hawaiian group in
earlier days. AS manifestation of
love and attachment, the wives of
chief would voluntarily die, which act
was called moespu, companionship in
sleep. This practice can be traced to
the Vedic Hindoos, the only difference
being that the wife was inundated on
the funeral pyre. Some stress has
been laid on the peculiar institutions
called cities of refuge, or Pun-honua,
which were found to have obtained
prominence among the Hawaiians, and
which have been quoted as another in
stance of Hebrew influence upon the
customs and culture of the islanders.
The cities of refuge, however, were
not peculiar to the Hebrews. They
existed in the time of ancient Greece.
We read of the temple of Ceres at
Hemione, in Argolis, which was sim

GUS others, both there and elsewhere,
where the Cushite influence had mod

of the people on its own pattern.

waiians, their practice of incantation
and divination, and many peculiar
tiles of their language. show relation

with the fire-worshipers of Persia, the

The knights of Labor rake a Hand.

CHICAGO, April 2S.-The Knights of
Labor will take hand in the Great
Northern strike. The general executive
board today ordered the men out, and
Grand Master Workman Sovereign left
for st. Paul tonight to give his personal
supervision to the initiation of the
knights part in the general strike. The
order for the strike announces that, in
the opinion of the board, the cause of
the American Railway Union is justly
entitled to the support of the Knights of
Labor. Before leaving for st. Paul this
evening, Sovereign said:
1--WE are going to fight to the end.
The existence of organized labor along
the line of the Great Northern is at
stake. 1t has become necessary for all
labor organizations to join in with the
railway union. l shall go to St. Paul
and Duluth and personally see that our
order is obeyed, and arrange for the care
of the men. don't know how many
men we have in the employ of the COM
pany. Our assemblies include not only
men in the operating departments but
in the offices and shops. They are
scattered along the 1000 miles of road. :"

SOLOMON AND HIS FAMILY.
He Was Only White Rat, But a Geniu
In His Way

He Was Only White Rat, But Genius
In His Way.
Solomon was white rat who lived
in an artists studio in New York. He
received his name because of his wis
dom and his solemn face.
Solomon was as trustworthy as a
dog. He refrained from nibbling the
curtains and rich stuffs that were scat
tered about the studio, and was most
particular not to take cheese or rich
cake up on the sofa, where he was al
lowed to play and sleep when his paws
were clean.
Now it SO happened that friend of
Solomon's mistress had some rats-a
fatherNand mother and seven children.
One night a stray cat found her way
to their cage and ate up the old rats.
Solomon's mistress agreed to adopt
them, and the cage was taken into her
rooms. T.
Solomon stared, and then went eau
tiously up to the newcomers. He soon

under his protection. He called them

have done.
about he watched them and taught
them where they might go and where
they were not to go, running after any
wild youngster who strayed behind
screens or meddled with what he ought
not to touch.
Only one of the seven orphans turned
out genius, but all of them became
respectable rats, and a great credit to
Solomon.
The genius of the family one day
came upon guitar lying on the sofa,
and, running up to it, nadesthe strings
sound. The music pleased : him so
much that after his discovery he fre-
quently went in search of the instru-
ment and scampered back and forth
over the strings to his own great de-
light and to the amusement of all who
saw him.

were mostly saved, as well as the goods

many cannot be stated. Most of them
