dominating force of the mart of trade.
the household tinancier. the family ac'
countant, and, in fact. fills all the po-
sitiolls which in any other community,
whether civilized or not, are by estab

Langum has a race apart from the
world in its laws in its exclusion of the
stranger and in its utter disregard OF
the vast area of world and things lying
beyond its borders. Its quiet life is
dominated by two all powerful factors
--womankind and oysters. There are
men in Lansunl, but they exert little
or no influence upon the affairs of the
quiet little Welsh village.
The Langum man neither is nor pre-
tends to be. He recognizes the right of
womankind to own and rule and is per
fectly satisfied to be described as An
ME Jones' man or Mary Williams man.
He neither requires nor appreciates
compassion. Sitting of an evening al
his cottage door, with his faithful
brood playing around him, his wife
and daughter busy within reckoning
the gains of the days work, he is veXcd

A STORY OF HENRY BERGti.
One of His New York Experiences In
Protecting Dumb Animals.

Like we'll dressed, somber ghost he
and at University place he found the
thing he had eXpccted--a car packed
inside almost to suffocation. both plat
forms packed outside, with men cling
ing like big burs to bottom steps and
dashboard rails, and before it, within
cloud Of steam, two i'll fed, boIy horses
with bloodshot eyes and wide, red nos
trils haring in their effort to I'll labor
ing lungs with air, with he wing sides
and straining backs and TANKS, while
their madly scrambling feet struck tire
from the slippery stones as hey strove
In vain to start again the awful weight
behind them. Curses, oft icrked bell
| and assisting yells of passengers failed
Of effect. The drivers whip was raised
ready for the stinging blow, when sud
denly the straining effort ceased, the
horses heads dropped low, and through
the thick air there doomed up before
them tall. dark FORM with hand up
raised commandingly. And calm and
distinct two laconic words reached all
ears: stop! Unload"
"Who the blank are you:' furiously
demanded the driver. And where's
your authority for interfering with this
trip"
He knew we'll enough whom he was
talking to, so silently Mr.. Bergh turned
back the lapel Of his coat to show his
badge, for in those days he had to do
constabulary work as we'll as official,
then repeated, "Unload!'
But, being tired, hungry and mad,
the floodgates gave way, and the pas
sengers' wrath burst forth. Abuse. sa-
tiricnl comment, threats, Tiled the air.
To a few who demonstrated decently
/, with him he expressed regret, but with
grave politeness insisted on tightening
! the load, telling them they could see
for themselves the utter inability OF
the horses to get them to the end of the
Z line and gently urged them hereafter to
! note the condition of crowdinE before
| taking a place on IL car.
! The conductor was especially ugly
and became unplpasantlT demonstrl-
tive His example worked like leaven
on the rest. and spirit of riot began
to show distinctly in the crowd closing
> about the tall, calm, self possessed
man. All faces scowlcd, and evil names
We're tossed upon the air. He had just
said. You are yourselves increasing
this delay; you might have moved
two minutes and a half ago. when a
scurrilous great brute came close UP tc
! him and, with an unSpeakablc oplthet
! shook a dirty fist directly in his face
/ Without the flash of an eye or Tho
| culver of q muscle in his quiet face
Mr.. Bergh caught the rutiian by the
shoulder, whirlcd him around, grabbed
| the seat of his brooches and the napt
of his neck, and with Il splendid "now
all together" sort of swing. he fired
him straight across the street, head OF
into the snow bank
A silence of utter amazement was
suddenly broken by ono great, swelling
laugh and then followed the always
thrilling sound of three gloriousll
hearty American cheers. Many mo!
shook hands with Mr.. Ber"h before be
ginning their long tramp AomeWard
Some admitted their error in aiding
the overloading.--Cla Morris in Nc

reports from the searching parties that
are out.
The craters are now quiescent. The
confguraS son of the mountain is entirely
changed. Estates and clapels and every
thing in the vicinity OF the volcaho have
been buried in lava.
Communication with Martinique is dif-
fcult. There are thousands OF bodies
In the streets of st. Pierre. Many of
the dead were asphyxiated, while others
were burned to death.
Tho steamer Kenneth, which has just
arrived here, reports that the crater on

CONSUL GOES TO ST. PIERRE.
United States Official at Guadeloupe De-
parts to Ascertain Fate of Americans.

The Secretary of State received a tele-
| gram from Louis II. Ayme, United States
Consul at Guadeloupe. reporting that he
was sailing thence Saturday night for st.
| Pierre, Martinique, to ascertain the fate
of Thomas T. Prentis, the United States
consul at St Pierre.
This is all the information which came
to the State Department yesterday from
any source near the scene of the great
disaster that was made public A tele-
gram was sent yesterday to Mr.. Ayme to
go to Martinique, ascertain the situa-
tion there, and do what he could to fur
nish assistance. It is supposed that he
did not receive the department instruc-
tions before his telegram was sent from
Guadeloupe.
The Secretary OF the Navy got word to-
day from Rear Admiral Barker, COM
mander of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, that
the training ship Dixie, which was yes
terday ordered to prepare for sea, would
be ready Tuesday morning
The Dixie is to be held in readiness for
any emergency. She may tie sent to Mar
Unique or st. Vincent with relief sup
plies. or go to San Domingo to protect
American interests in the political trou-
bles in that country.
officials said tonight that if the House
passed the measure which the Senate
adopted Saturday, appropriating 100000
for the relief of the stricken people at
Martinique. the Dixie would probably be
sent there with part of the supplies
The Government is hopeful that the OBJ
lection to the measure made in the House
yesterday Will not operate tomorrow to
prevent its passage. Great interest In
the Martinique disaster is shown in Gov
ernment circles.
The prompt action of the State and
Navy Departments yesterday in ordering
the cruiser Cincinnati and Consul Ayme
to st. Pierre, and giving authority to the
commandant at San Juan to send the big
United States tug Potomac, 'cdicates the
willingness of the executive authorities
to be of assistance No appeal has yet
been received from the French govern
ment.
