FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique,
May 22.-Mont Pelee's eruption Tues
day was ten times AZ violent as that
which destroyed st. Pierre.
Colossal volumes of volcanic matter
were elected from the volcano, which
rained huge redhot powders many
feet in diameter on the ruins of st.
Pierre and the country near it from an
enormous elevation and with fearful
velocity. The volcanic clouds advanced
until they reached Fort de France. The
rays of the rising sun lighted them I'M
til the clouds looked like molten metal
suspended in the air and rolling over
the city.
The spectacle was appalling and SUBJ
lime beyond description. The whole
population of Fort de France was
thrown into a panic, during which SOL
ders. police, men and women, all ter
rilied, frantic, weeping and praying,
rushed through the streets.
Overhead the glowing, fiery clouds
rolled relentlessly and rained down
stones, still hot, amid the swirling
ashes.
The steam launch of the United
States cruiser Cincinnati took some ref
ugees to the French cruiser Suchet,
and nearly 100 persons sought refuge
on the Cincinnati and on the United
States special steamer Potomac.
AT 10 O'Clock the Potomac went to
Investigate matters, and all reports
agree that Lieutenant Benjamin B. Nc
Cormick the commander Of the steam
er. did great work.
He went in close to st. Pierre and
found that the city had been lombard
ed with enormous elected stones and
that the ruins left standing after the
first disaster had been nearly RACED.
Millions Of tons of ashes then covered
the hideous city of silence and death.
Farther south smaller stones had de-
stroyed the houses of the brave viii
layers who had stuck to their homes.
Lieutenant Mccormick took on beard
the Potomac 1870 refugees, the Oldest or
whom was seventy-two years OF age
md the youngest three days old. The
lieutenant fed them and brought the
party to Fort de France.
This work of rescue was difficult and
dangerous.
1t is reported that the whole popula-
ton of the island is fleeing.
Three hundred refugees have just ar
rived here, and thousands have en-
parked for the neghboring islands.

PALMA IN THE PALACE
New President of Cuba Occupies OIL
cial Residence.

New President Of Cuba Occupies OFF,
cial Residence.
HAVANA, May 22.-President Pal
ma took up his official residence at the
palace yesterday and received many
visitors, but he transacted no business.
Governmental machinery and business
will remain at a standstill during the
festivities, which will not close until
next Friday.
President Palma's inaugural message
Is not yet completed. He hopes, how
ever to be able to send it to congress
when the latter meets next Friday. The
keynote of the message will be the ne
cessity of harmonizng the factions in
the island and working in unison for
the success of the republic. The mes
sage will be strong in its expression or
gratitude to the United States and or
the desirability of the closest CONNER
cial relations. 1t will devote also con-
siderable space to the necessity OF dl'
yersifying and stimulating the indus
tries of the island.
The only unfortunate occurrence thus
far reported was the raiding OF several
small Spanish wineshops by Cubans.

Girl Told q Fake Story.

The Maryland papers last week
contained accounts of revolving
crime committed upon Miss Lizzie
Hatcherson, servant girl employ
ed by Wilbur Eliason, who lives a
mile from Chestertown. The girl
said she had been assaulted by a
book agent and while unconscious,
her hair was cut off, then her as.
sailant ransaked the house and
stole Mrs. Eliason's jewelry. There
was no one home at the time except
the colored cook
According to late reports received
at this Office, says the "Centreville
Observer" the whole story of the
outrage is farce, palmed off by the
housegirl, herself. We cannot state
that the following is absolute cor
rect. 1t is simply rumor, which
shows convincing evidence of au-
thenticity. One thing seems certain,
little has been said of the alleged
crime and the officers have made no
efforts recently in locating the sup
posed ruffian or ruffians.
As the rumor has it, the girl lac
Grated her own face and cut Off her
hair in order to make it appear that
she had been assaulted, after having
ransacked the drawers herself and
relieved Mrs. Eliason of her dia-
mond ring, She told this remarka'
BILE tale in order to direct suspicion
in another direction. The report
further states that the girl has sur
rendered the ring claimed to have
been stolen by her assailant. Sus-
picion pointed to the girl in the be-
ginning in consideration Of the fact
that the cook was in an adjoining
room and that the affair took place
in a very few minutes after Miss
Rebecca Eliason had left the house.
1t is not at all improbable that the
whole story Of the assault is an in
vention of the girl, as parties work
ing in a field adjoining Mr.. Ella
sons stated at the time that no
team drove up to the house, as
claimed by the housegirl.

An Exciting Time

Irvy Bounds and George Donald have
just returned from a two days fishing
trip up the Natchez. They slept in the
open air by the side of the river, using
their saddles for pillows and horse
blankets to keep them warm at night.
Saturday night at about $3.50 O'Clock
they were awakened by large rattle
snake that was trying to get under the
blankets of George. Failing in this he
coiled up and began to sing sweetly in
order to keep the boys awake. Suddenly
lrvy awoke, and hearing the unmistak-
able sound called to George for help.
George at once grasped the situation,
and pulling out his six shooter proceeded
to riddle the snake with bullets, killing
him instantly. OF course, this story
sounds perfectly natural, but when they
tell us their entire catch amounted to
As pounds of speckled beauties, there is
serious cause for doubt.

suffering may be gathered from Mrs.
Nelson experience told in the letter
given below. She says, ri 7OaS SO nt',7'-
Gus that the least thing uonid Sfartie me
almost into con5nksions." Such a con-
dition of nervousness generally indicates
womanly diseases. 1t is useless to at
tempt to cure nervousness by the Use OF
narcotics.
NARCOTICS ARE DEADLY
for the nervous woman whose need is
not to make the nerves sleep but to
make them strong, not to numb them
but to nourish them. The best nedi-
cine for nervous women is DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t cures nervous
ness because it cures the causes which
are behind nervousness. 1t establishes
regularity, dries the drains which under
mine the health and strength, heals
inflammation and liberation and cures
female weakness. 1t makes weak women
strong and sick women well.
"Dr. Pierce's medicines are the best
have ever used" writes Mrs. c. Nelson,
of Chemawa, Marion Co., Oregon. My
health was badly run down when l con-
suited him by letter. My limbs were
cold and my head hurt me continually.

Some Blanks.

Everett Record: Justice Lewis this
morning reached the last of the blanks
that Frank Musseter had printed for
Snohomish county some years ago when
Musseter was running the Sun in Snoho-
mish and the county seat was there. He
was given the contract for furnishing
some 5000 blanks tor the justices of the
county. Some one inserted the little
word each, which meant that 5000 blanks
were to be furnished for each Justice.
There were nearly 40 of them, and the
court house officials nearly tainted one
day when two huge wagon loads of near
ly 4OO, 900 blanks were put in the build
ing. Mr.. Ferguson, we'll known in Sno-
homish, had been prevailed upon by
Musseter to advance $1,000 to guarantee
the printers in Seattle, to whom the con-
tract had been sublet. Musseter is sup
posed to have made nothing out of the
job, though the price was 5000 The
county refused to pay all of it. Justice
Lewis says the blanks were never of
much account, and he's glad he has
reached the end. There are still hurs
dreds of them in other offices over the
county.

New Business BLOCKS

George w. Wilson has purchased the
two lots on the corner of Yakima avenue
and Third street, ea"' Of the Hotel
Yakima, and vii soon commence the
erection of large brick business block
thereon. There will be three commo-
diOus store rooms, two fronting on the

erty interests there and moved to the

and has concluded to invest portion of
his surplus cash in North Yakima realty.
The plans for the new block to be
erected by Otter Bros. and o. A. Fech-
ter on the lots fronting on Yakima
avenue between the Otter and Clogg
blocks, are now completed, and it is
expected that the contract will be let
within day or two. The block will be
two-story brick, 50xl00 feet, and con-
form in appearance and type to those
adjoining. The upper floor will be used
for hall purposes, while the lower will
be arranged for store purposes.
