GOLD FOUND IN TENNESSEE.
BIount County Excited Over Reports of
Rich Strike

Knoxville, Tenn, August 4.-Blount
county is almost wild over the reported
fiuding of immensely rich lOdes of gold in
Tuckaeeche Cove, a mining section
about thrly-fve miles from Knoxville,
midway between ChilhOwee, and Smokey
Mountain. The discovery was made by
accident, but is the result of expert i'll
vestigation, which has been under way
for some time.
Active operation of the suspected ledge
was begun Saturday morning, and the first
blast brought vast quantities of quartz,
all of virgin metal. w. S. Upton, of
Philadelphia, representing Coudersport
and Pittsburg parties interested in the
development of that section, has bought
200 acres of the land and is making every
effort to keep the gold seekers off the
property. Hundreds are rushing to the
scene.

MARTIAL LAW
Armed Strikers Made Concerted Attack
Upon the Militia and Real War
Tactics We're Used.

Shenandoah, Pa, August s. Armed
strikers made a concerted attack on the
camp of the Eighth Regiment here at $3.50
O'Clock this morning, the attacking party
firing revolver shots into the c'~'p from
the brush in all directions. TIE Eighth
men were concerned in the attack. The
sleeping regiment were aroused and under
arms in an instant Company d was sent
out as skirmishers. and for the first time
during the troubles here, used real war
tactics, firing two volleys into the scrub
brush. The entire regiment, with Com
pany D leading, beat brush over the hills
in the direction of the camp Of the Twelfth
regiment, but without discovering any
body. Over two hundred shots we're fired
last night. 1t is not known if anybody
was hurt, but it is believed Gobn will call
for more troops.
Collin has practically placed the town
under martial law today, owing to the in.
ability Of the police to control the angry
strikers.

A New Planet.

DENVER, COL, Aug. 2.--Eros, one of the
small planets of asteroids, of the solar
system, was again discovered at 3:15
o'clock this morning by Professor q. J..
Lying, who WAS operating the telescope in
Cumberland Observatory at University
Park. Eros was first discovered from an
impression on photograph plate, exposed
by Witt, at Berlin, in 1899 In October,
1900, the planet came close to the earth,
SO that it could be Observed optically, and
was visible for observation until June Of
last year, when it again became invisible.
The appearance of the planet has been
awaited with much interest by astron
omers on account of variations IN its
brightness reported by various observers
which it was desired to explain

Fort de France, Island of Martinique,
July 1O.-In an interview today with g
representative of the Associated Press, Pro-
fessor Jaggers, Jr., assistant geologlst TO
the United States Geological Survey, who
has been investigating volcanic conditions
in the West Indies, said:
"l have been fortunate in seing a real
eruption before l go, and the eruption OF
last night, July 8, seems to have been a
very characteristic one. Mont Pelee has
impressed me as being much more
venomous looking that the Soufriere OF
st. Vincent. The question has been con-
stantly before me, do you not think 1t is
finished now; is the danger not over? l
have always answered: The mountain at
this moment appears calm, and the dust
columns that one sees from time to time
are largely due to landsGdes from the era
ter into the head of Riviere Blanche. The
eruption of last night was to be expected.
We may expect more before so hot and
vigorous a steam engine as Mont Pelee
comes to rest.
"A diagnosis of the real diminution in
activity can onlv be made after the noun
tain has been watched year, and all its
movements recorded. After watching
events here since May 21, do not think
a single habitation northwest Of the line
from Bellefontaine to Vive is safe to live
in at present. l do not think Carbet,
Fonds st. Denis, Morne Rouge or Basse
Pointe are safe at present. Not that there
is any immediate danger, but l believe
that the action of Mont Pelee is too un-
certain for us to be assured that future
eruption NAV not occur to windward.
"The greater part ofdestruction wrought
by the Souiriere in st. Vincent was on the
windward or eastern side, and Mont Pelee
is in many espects a twin sister to the
St. Vincent volcano. l gave the same
advice without hesitation at st. Vincent,
although the Soufriere there was much
quieter than is Mont Pelee. l know well
that causing people to move from all these
villages and habitations will produce great
inconvenience, but the alternative is risk
of human life. When the mountain Is en-
tirely cold, and the people are protected
by properly equipped experiment station
with devices to signal danger, they may,
with certain restrictions, return to the
volcanic lands No city should ever again.
however, be built on the northeast end Of
the island.
81 do not think Fort de France is IN
any dan ger from the volcano,
"Most of the towns in the West Indies
are equally in danger from tidal waves
1t would take an explosion from Mont
Pelee of enormously greater dimensions
than anything that has happened as We
to make wave that would harm For
De France. No evidence.exists Of augmen
ting violence in the eruptions hither(
which lead to the suggestion that
Krakatoa explosion Is coming here. II
comparison, Mont Pelee is rather a smal
volcano"

a Disappearing River.

recent report from c. T. prall. one
of the photographers of the survey
has reported the existence of stream
whose water in the summer season en-
tirely vanishes midway in its course
The river is known as the Dry Fork.
a small stream in northwestern Utah,
tributary to Ashley creek. About four
teen miles from its source in the Uinta
mountains this stream reaches a large
basin or sink, whose walls are from
rs to 100 feet high, except on the up
stream side. The pool is apparently
bottomless and the water in it revolves
with a slow circular motion, caused
either by the incoming waters or by
suction from below, or both. The
only visible outlet to this pool is a
narrow rock channel from which
little water flows, but - soon lost to
sight a few hundred yards below. A
measurement of the main stream just
above the pool showed a volume of
ninety-six cubic feet OF water passing
each second, but this entire flow dis
appears in the basin and the stream
for miles below is perfectly dry. About
seven miles below this interesting pool
were found several springs, one of
them is a large hole twenty-five feet
in diameter and twenty feet deep,
which at times are empty and again
hiled with water. 1t is thought that
the water which disappears in the
upper pool, flows underground, deep
below in the gravels, which form the
bed OF the stream, and in times OF
heavy rainfall appears again IN the
large springs below.

STOCKINGS DECORATED.
Parisian Artist Devotes His Talents to
Designs on Hosiery.


Designs on Hosiery.
A Partisan decorator of ladies'
stockings" has so far forgotten profess
sional discretion as to tell tales out
OF his studio The artist designs hos
iery chiefly for fair, fastidious and ex-
travagant beauties of the world which
amuses itself" These ladies will only
wear stockings the patterns of which
are unique, and they retain the copy
right of the designs.
1t is even more indiscreet of the ar
tist to reveal that for one of his Gus
broidered with Cupid climbing up the
lace insertions, and for another pair
on which was eXquisitely worked
serpent having two pearls for its eyes.
Other art" stockings are decorated
with perfect limitations of flowers en-
broidered IN colors, lilies of the val
ley, violets and lilac being favorite
blooms.
Most of the ladies select a particular
flower, which they order to be worked
on all their hosiery. 1t appears, how
ever, that, generally speaking, the
stocking embroidered in colors is con-
sidered trihe loud. Ladies of severer
taste prefer black lace, but jewe1ed
ornaments in the latter are regarded as
quite permissible. The artist in ques-
tion charges any prices, from &24 up
ward, for a PAIR of hose.

His Miraculous Escape.

For four days and four nights in the
depths of the earth, wandering in abso-
lutte darkness through winding gorges,
crawling on hands and knees through
Shiny passages in the jagged rocks,
halting at times on the brink of awful
precipices growing faint from hunger
and almost crazy from hardships
which he was forced to endure-these
are few of the experiences that befell
Capt Caleb Johnson, a Mississippi
river pilot, when he attempted recent
ly TO explore the mysteries OF Dead
Mans cave at st. Genevieve, just
across the river from Red Bud, Ill.
But with all of Capt. Johnson's ex-
periences the cave remains as much a
mystery as ever, for he was without
light for most of the way, and has no
idea to-day how far or where he wan
dered. He only knows that he entered
the cave in Simms' hollow, on the bank
of the river, on Monday morning, and
that on Thursday afternoon a farmer
found him in a sinkhole on his farm
four miles frc.n the entrance. Nothing
was, therefore, accomplished, save,
perhaps, to take away the superstition
that no one could go into the cave and
come out alive.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELTS
OFFICIAL PORTRAIT


forbidden that these souvenirs be is
sued to any one, not even the press, in
advance.
President Roosevelts official vignctte
represents what he considers his best
portrait. The vignette is especially in
teresting, therefore, because of the fact
that the Chief Magistrate regards it as
the pose doing him the most justice.
1t is two-thirds view, showing the
President in the prime of health. He
wears glasses and the familiar low
rolled Roosevelt" collar. Director
Meredith has just had framed a com
plete set of presidential vignettes from
Washington to Roosevelt, inclusive.
Since the art of steel engraving was
first applied in this country these have
been made during the lives and admin

Tine official portrait of President
Roosevelt has been finished and stored
away at the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing.
Uncle Sam cuts the features of each
new Chief Executive into steel and
locks the plate away in a great bur
glar-proof vault. One such plate
bears the face of each President, begin
ming with Washington. No other
Presidential portraits than those
printed from these plates are official.
These vignettes are stored away for
several reasons. 1t is customary to
honor dead Presidents by placing their
features upon official money OF the
United States. Then, again, IL a
President die in Office an official me-
mortal souvenir is always prepared by
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
This bears the official vignette. Only
dead Presidents are honored by the
placing of their portraits upon govern
