A Rare Treat for Grenada.

One Of the brilliant women whom
the South has nurtured, and one who
has achieved . reputation that is not
limited to the narrow confines Of her
section and country, but extends even
70 European capitals, 10 Miss Sarah
McGehee Ison. To her are the
people Of this State indebted for the
cultivation Of elocution, having intro
duced the study in the University Of
the State, In: which she occupied the
chair Of oratory. Miss Isom has, after
studious preparation, finished the plot
for an unique entertainment, which
will include series Of select readings
from "Quo vadis, the famous novel Of
Sienkiewiz, with incidents In his great
career, reviewing scenes iu Arcadia,
an isolated hamlet ia Southern CALI
fornia.
In conjunction with Miss Isom Mrs.
Gen. S. T. Carnes, Of Memphis, will
appear In this city In vocal and his
trionic entertainment. This lady is
rarely gifted with soprano voice that
has been cultivated and trained to an
ideal perfection. Her work is full Of
expression, drawing the sympathy Of
those who are enchained by the
melody Of her notes. 1.-THE Last Rose
Of Summer is one Of the gems that she
renders with infinite taste and feel
ing, and it is said that she cannot be
approached by any living singer.
Many others are included in her
repertoire. They will appear at Mul>
lin Hall next Wednesday night, May 10.

A SCENE OF RUIN.
in San Jacinto md Other
California Towns.

San Jacinto, Cal, Dec. 27.-This lit
tie city is scene of desolation. Peo-
pie are beginning to recover from the
terror inspired by the earthquake
which centered here on Christmas
morning and destroyed every brick
building in the town, and some def
mite estimates of the damage wrought
can now be made.
AT the Saboba Indian reservation
near here dance had been held the
night before and large quantities of
whisky were consumed by the Indians
sent most of them into drunken
stupor before the shock came. A
number of squaws had huddled to-
gether in an old adobe building and
were sleeping off the effects of the
liquor. The heavy walls fell in upon
them. Six We're killed outright and
two died later, while score more are
badly injured. Those killed were hor-
ribly crushed.
Main street presents a sad appear
ance. 1t is impossible to walk along
the sidewalks because of the heaps of
debris and overhanging walls. Two
story brick walls are RACED to the level
of the ground, with thousands of dol
lars worth of merchandise buried I'M
derneath. There is not a business
house in town but has suffered. Elec-
trio wires are down and some of the
power houses have fallen in. The walls
of the county hospital, erected recent
ly at a cost of $4,000, are badly dam
aged. The total losses are estimated
at $4,000.
AT Helmet the hotel was damaged to
the extent of $4,000; Bingham's -four
mill, $4,000. The fire walls of Web
ber's brick store fell out, the plate
glass windows were smashed in and
the entire stock of goods is on the
floor in heap. The chimneys of the
hotel fell, many of them crashing
through the roof, one on the bed of
Frank johnson, bruising him badly.
The verandas are all down and the
walls badly cracked. The rear wall of
the johnson block fell outward and
the whole building was badly demol-
ished. The third story OF the Hotel
Mills is down and the second-story
walls fell in. Pugh's store and fix
lures were all shaken down. There
are but two chimneys left in town.
The gables of Highland asylum were
cracked and the chimneys shaken
down.
1t is said that rumblings had been
heard for several days about Taquils
peak in the San Jacinto range, sup
posed to be an extinct volcano. Be
tween San Jacinto and Hemet geysers
of hot sulphur water appeared Mon
day and the fumes were so strong
that no one can get near the geysers.
The streets of San Jacinto are being
cleared of debris and the merchants
are moving their stocks into ware
houses. Preparations are already be-
ing made for the rebuilding of most of
the ruined structures.

NOTED SCIENTIST DEAD.
Close of the Career of Prof. Elliott
Coues, Famed AS an Orni-
tho1ogist.

Baltimore, Nd, Dec. 27.-Prof. FL
lott eoues, Of Washington, D. c., the
world-famed orpithplogist and scien-
fist, died Monday night at Johns Hop
kins hospital.
[Prof. Coues was one Of the most dis
tinguished scientists in the United States.
Born in Portsmouth, N. H., in 1912, he
graduated at the Columbian university in
Washington in 1861 He entered the United
States army as medical cadet in 1852 and
left 1t as surgeon many years later. He
became naturalist of high repute, and
was an expert in geology, anatomy and
many other sciences. He was connected
with the Smithsonian institute, the United
States geological and geographical sur
veys, and was professor of biology In the
Virginia agricultural and mechanical col.
lege. He was one of the associate editors
of the Century Dictionary and other pub
LEGATIONS, an ornithologist of world
wide reputation, and published many works
on that subject. His versatility as an au-
thor was very great, and his works included
a number of scientific subjects. He was
a member of at least 50 foreign and Ameri-
can scientific societies. For some years
he was an enthusiastic theosophist, a
friend and coadjutor of Nine. Blavatsky.
After awhile he. lost his; interest in the
osophy, but he never ceased to reach out
for theories and dogmas beyond the av-
erage understanding. No man in the United
States probably had wider acquaintance
with men of thought the world over than

Evidently the IOwan is no hand for
olemargarine even in times when real
butter is high. According to an adj
vance sheet of the dairy commission
er's thirteenth annual report soon to
be issued, there is but one dealer Of
oleomargarine in Iowa. AS is we'll
known, those who sell the preparation
must deal it out from receptacles so
marked in large letters, and placards
on the wall in bold face type must
tell the story again. Most of the stuff
is purer than some butter that is sold
in the market for is made of beef suet
and other harmless ingredients and
not from stale lard as is generally be-
lieved. 1t willretail at ten cents per
pound, when realSbutter is sc ling be-
