room. Bacon of Georgia came
in from the marble room, but
hurpsd on to the cloakroom, so
as TO hear as little as possible.
Clay of Georgia came in and as
sisted Daniel of Virginia to es
cape. Carmack of Tennessee
poked his head through the half
open door. but with an oath drew
back into the now close and
stuffy cloakroom. Tillman pro
ceeded. He was now at white
heat. He had been deserted by
the democrats. while nearly every
republican senator was in his seat
listening in silence to his con-
fesSion.
The scene was intensely dra-
matte. Tillman wanted encour-
agement, even by retort, from
the republicans, but they would
not give him that small advant-
age. Spooner sat directly across
the center aisle looking as much
pleased as though at minstrel
show, and Tillman advanced un-
til he lowered over the Wisconsin
senator's chair, gesticulating and
grimacing like a combination of
a mailman and an idiot, but
Spooner only smiled and sat
Some of the republican senator's
laughed and Tillman went on to
confess for the South greater
and more horrible crimes.
I'VE haven't got the water cure
in South Carolina" he yelled.
There has been some talk about
the sand cure, but | want to say
to you that when we think it is
necessary to put nigger's head
in the sand we put in his whole
body"
McLaurin, of Mississippi, who
had remained. could stand no
more. He almost ran from his
seat to the democratic cloakrOOm.
A moment later Patterson, Car
mack, Dubois, Jones and Pettus
could be seen walking the floor
and gesticulating in the cloak
room. 1t looked so ominous that
Senator Beverage paid visit to
the democrats and came back
laughing over what he had seen
and heard.
He won't tell. because 1t was a
senatorial conference. But later
Senator Pettus demanded of an
other republican senator on his
honor as man what price the
republicans had paid Tillman for
that speech.
Dubois, the head manager of
the new leadership on the demo-
cratic side, visited Senator Lodge
and said the democrats repudiated
TIllman and his speech.
But how can you?" asked
Lodge. Didn't Tillman speak
the truth as he knows it in South
Carolina?"

Possibly 40, 600 Lives BIotted Out
in Twinkling on Island
of Martinique.
ONLY TWENTY ESCAPE ALIVE
Fire, Stones and Mud BeIched From the
Volcano Destroy the City of St. Pierre
and N,ar-by Towns--Eishteen Ships
Caught in Shower of Fire and Burned.

ST. THOMAS, d. w. l.. May 10
Later reports of the disaster
of ST. Pierre. Martinique, confirm
the immensely of the disaster
that has overtaken that town.
from these reports there does
not appear to remain any doubt
that the entire town has been
destroyed, with a loss of from
10000 to $4,000 human lives.
The victims did not all live in the
city. but the surrounding country
appears to have also suffered
heavily. A rain Of fire from the
volcano of Mount Pelee seems to
have swept down on the city with
a suddeuness that precluded all
attempts of the populace to es-
cape. Even the vessels in the
harbor were destroyed, with ore
or two exceptions, and these only
managed to get to sea and away
from the menacing peril with the
greatest difficulty. The destruc-
ton of St. Pierre seems to have
been as complete as was that of
Sodom and Gomorrah, and by
exactly the same agency.
AT s o'clock Thursday morning
the volcano Of Mont Pelee, which
had been belching smoke and
ashes for several days, suddenly
shot a great sheet of molten mat
ter into the air, which seemed to
spread over the heavens, and a
few moments later.fre was liter
ally raining on the city of ST.
Pierre. There was no escape for
the people. Following the show.
er of fire came mud, steam, stones
and sulphuric gases, and per-
sons who were not burned to
death were asphyxiated by the
foul air. Ships in. the harbor
caught fire and sunk, and vessels
five miles out at sea were covered
with mud and ashes. The scene
was indescribable and the few
survivors seem too confused and
appalled, to give more than ram
bling accounts of the horror.
Some OF the natives were so SUI
perstitious that they believed the
end of the world, as dspicted in
the Bible had come. Vessels
which have visited ST. Pierre say
only mass of ashes and charred
bodies mark the site of the city.
Not more than twenty persons
escaped with their lives. Eigh-
teen vessels were burned and
sunk with all on board, including
four American vessels and the
steamship Roraima, of the Que
bee line. Thomas T. Prentiss,
the United States consul, and
family are reported among the
victims.
In addition to the known losses
at st. Pierre the gravest appre-
pension exists for the safety of
other islands in the vicinity of
Martinique. Cable communica-
ton with St. Vincent, Barbados,
Grenada, Trinidad, Demerara,
and ST, Lucia is completely cut
off, and the latest advices from
St. Lucia were to the effect that
a volcanic eruption was in pro-
gress there.

 Chapel This Afternoon.

By TfoleSSof lFOOslWyh at bdltcl
 Chapel This Afternoon.
 The announcement that Professor Is- idore Troostwyk, of the department of music at Yale, has consented to give a series of two violin recitals at Battell chapel, with the cooperation of Pro- lessor Harry E. Jepson at the organ, will be hailed with great delight by the music-loVing public of this city. The event is made more notable by the fact that the programmes will embrace works of the earliest period of violin composers. Professor Troostwyk, who is only too seldom heard here, is an ar dent admirer of the old classic school and it is his sola aim to awaken inter- est in these violin composers of past centuries
 The recitas are free to the public, and undoubtedly will attract a large audi once, as they promise to be highly in- teresting and instructive The first one will take place this afternoon at five o'clock, The programme presented is as follows:
 Alessandro Stradella G645-16S1)-Pieta
 Sienore.
 J. P. Rameau G6S3-176N Jean Marie Leclair Q697176D D-Sara-

KING MENELIK'S NOTIONS OF
 AMERICA.

He has never been outside of his own l1ingdom; has probably never seen a boat, save one of Marchand's, which lies in front of the palace, in sections, as borne there by porters; has never seen wheeled vehicle, save a few small mountain guns, speaks no Euro of his time to internal affairs Such an expansive body of water as the ocean, fancy, he cannot conceive; the rotundi- ty of the earth has been explained to him, but was not grasped. He mar veled when I told him of the difference in time between New York and Addis Abebs. Of New York he seemed not to have heard when referred to it as the big city of my country. Pictures of great commercial buildings and views of cities made, thought, rather a faint impression on him. The Brooklyn bridge was more effective, and he mar veled at it's height. though just how the interpreter translated figures and dis tances I do not know since in ordinary transactions with Abyssinians no unit of length was discovered. The capitol at Washington, which was described as corresponding to his residence, made some impression on him when it's size was explained.
 When the books were put aside, new magazine pistol which had picked up in Paris came in for minute exami- nation, and then took it's place in col lection of small arms which must now be well-nigh complete.
 Among the illustrations shown were some of the big New England cotton mills. These tried to identify to Men, elik as the places in which were manu- factured nearly all of the cotton goods which his subjects wore, a fact that I had learned with surprise and pleasure while on the coast.

SPRING HATS.

! The Paris creations are veritable
 dreams of beauty, daintiness and seduc-
 tiveness. The prevailing tendency as to
 shape is toward the large flat effect,
 slightly raised at the left side and the | continental or cooked hat is more pop ular than ever.
 | Of course no woman will attempt to wear one of these large flats. no matter | how ensnaring it may be, unless she is tall enough to carry it off well. With this shape the hair should be dressed on the back of the head or low and there are fewer combs worn than last year.
 However, there are many models with l only moderately wide brims and a cou- pie of inches of crown that may be worn by the person of average or low stature and the continental shape is all most universally becoming. Moreover, our Paris oracle says that each woman may dress her head and her hair &C., cording to her own style of beauty and that the secret of the great milliners over there is in finding for each woman, for each type of woman, shape gar niture, complete effect that will be in- dividual and exactly suitable to her and that will not repeat itself.
 Millinery materials are to be light, airy and each in itself beautiful, chif- fon, tulle and lace, lace, lace. We are to have distinctive lace season. both as to gown, hat, sunshade, anything on which it may be utilized. Many hats, particularly for evening wear are made entirely of lace on wire frames with lit tie trimming. One beautiful model is of continental shape covered with yards and yards of lace only about an mich wide, friled on, and trimmed with clusters of entrants and bows of red velvet ribbon to match the color of the fruit
 Another pretty hat is rather a wide variation of the same shape covered with finely tucked white chiffon on which are set at regular intervals jet nail heads and on the side is perched large jet butterfly.
 Then there is the low, flat model GOV cred with one of the thin guazy mate rials in a delicate pastel tint, pink or blue, and draping of fine lace, and some flowers of a darker harmonizing shade under the brim of the left.
 The very latest Paris shape for the summer suggests the old picturesque hat of the Bourbon period, turned up in the front and back, and made of flpffy material; no trimming is used on the crown at all. but where the brim is turned up and almost resting on the hair in front and behind, are roses, and a single line of roses trims the under left side.-American Queen.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE EYES.

| Eyes of any color with weak brows and long concave laskes are indicative of a weak constitution. People of melancholic temperament rarely have clear blue eyes. The chameleon is almost the only rep tile provided with an eyelid. Eyes with long, sharp corners indi- cate great discernment and penetra ton.
 Hemer attributed protruding eye to Juno He called her the oX-eyed Juno.
 The utility of shedding tears is to keep the eyes cool though the balance of the head may be hot.
 The iris of the eye is rarely of one col or, but commonly mottled with black, blue orange, yellow. gray or all com bined.
 It seldom happens that both eyes are exactly alike. An examination with a magnifying glass usually discovers many differences between the two.
 A red object is not nearly so visible at a distance as one of white. A red globe a foot in diameter can be per- ceiVed clearly only at distance of eight thousand feet. and a blue glass d little farther.
 Oysters are provided with eyes. but the oysters eye is not located where public opinion places it. What is called the eye of the oyster is the great mus cle which holds the shells together and which is separated by the knife of the opener,
 Brown eyes are said by oculists to be the strongest.
 The eyes should not be used in weak ness or sickness.
 Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking from side to side, are frequently indicative of an unsettled mind.
 It is said that the prevailing colors of eyes among patients of lunatic asylums are brown or black.
 Eyes placed close together in the head a4e said to indicate pettshness of dis position. jealousy and a turn for fault finding.
 All men of genius are said to have eyes clear, slow-moving and bright This is the eye which indicates mental ability of some kind, it does not matter what.
 The ostrich is believed to see objects behind him as well as those in front Persons standing directly behind an C., trich can see the pupils of his eyes ant are thus easily seen by the bird.-Phil- adelphia Record.

SOUVENIR TENDS
AT BUFF4LO-THEY CUT HOLE
 IN FLOOR
or Temple of Mus'c and Take Every
 thing Portable.

It is improbable that in recent years
 the irreverence and audaclty of the sou venir hunter have never been brought
 so prominently to public notice as they
 have been in connection with the expo
 sition and the assassination of the late
 President Mckinley there. As soon as
 the fair closed. and even long before ev-
 cry inanimate thing on the grounds that
 played even a remote part in the as
 sassination became the hearts idol of some souvenir fiend, the cot in the em- ergency hospital upon which the pres-
 dent rested for few minutes before the operation was particularly sought, as were also the surgical instruments used in the operation, Those articles were, of course, from reasons of pro priety and sentiment, held to ba sa- cred by those who had the disposal of them, and the souvenir collector still longs for the prizes. They will not be sold, and enthusiasts will have to place them in the class of vanished hopes.
 One man even wrote to know if he
 might buy a tree which stood near the hospital where the president was treat ed, and another wanted some of the wornout incandescent globes from the temple of music, where the assassina- ton occurred, During the closing days of the fair the exposition guards were constantly on the lookout to defeat the purposes of the fends, but with all their watchfulness they were fooled many times
 The most recent raid of the souvenir fiends Is the most daring, however, and it serves to illustrat te how the mania for the possession of historic souvenirs will cause persons to forget the precepts of good taste and honesty. Since the wrecking company has taken posses sion of the exposition grounds and buildings. the place has been carefully guarded. but there was a period inter vening between the closing of the fair and the disposal of the buildings when 1t was not so difficult to gain entrance to the grounds That period was the field day of the souvenir fiend. He soon stripped the buildings of every thing might have remote artistic val ue. Then he turned his attention to the temple of music, where the tragedy took place. The electric light bulbs | were the first things to go and the raid CTS became bolder, objects about the immediate scene of the assassination | were attacked.
 The temple of music has a strong. l double flooring. Around the spot upon | which the president stood when he re- ceived the fatal wound had been built | a reiling. The railing was partly to | mark the spot and partly to keep from 1t the feet of the morbid and irreverent. . A large brass star was nailed to the floor within the railing. and that star marked the exact position of President Mckinley on the fateful September 13. The souvenir hunters not content with carrying away every portable article in the temple, hacked at the floor within the railing with knives. axes and chs- els until souare hole had been cut in the floor within the rails.-Buffalo Ex- press.

New York. April 12--James R. Keene having secured control of the Rub- Der Goods Manufacturing company is now making an effort to get control of the United States Rubber company it is said, with q view of ultimately forming a new rubber trust.
