Mont Pelee Again In Action and a
Wild Panic Ensues.
Fort de France, May 21.-At $3.50 a.
m. thick, heavy cloud, lit up by
flashes of lightning and the rising sun,
rose from Mont Pelee. The people of
Fort de France at once became panic
stricken and in scant attire rushed ex-
citedly through the streets of the
town. Stones from the volcano as
big as hazel nuts fell in the streets.
Many of the inhabitants hurriedly en-
barked on the vessels in the harbor,
and it was with difficulty that they
were eventually reassured. At z
o'clock, however, the excitement was
over and the people became calm.
The phenomenon was similar to the
eruption of Thursday, May s, but not
SO severe.
Governor L'Huerre will leave here
on the French cruiser Suchet to in
form himself of the situation at St.
Pierre. -
The cloud which issued from Mont
Pelee was composed of cinders. It is
estimated that 10000 people rushed
into the streets of the town, shrieking
and praying.
A tidal wave has destroyed a por-
ton of the village of LIE Carbet.
It was learned later that a whirl-
wind of fire descended on the village
of lie Carbet and fears are entertained
for the lives of the troops who were
supposed to be in that village.

Latest Reports on the Result of the
Texas Cyclone.
Houston, Tex, May 2O-The latest
reports from Goliad state that SO per
sons were killed and 103 injured by the
tornado which passed over that city
Sunday afternoon. The property loss
in the city and surrounding country
will probably reach 100000. The
storm swept the city from end to end
and demolished $50 stores and resi-
dences, many of which cannot be re-
placed.
There is only one telegraph wire
working into Goliad and owing to the
crush of official business it is impossi-
BILE to obtain list of the dead and in
jured.
The tornado, which was preceded
by terrific downpour of hail, lasted
only a few minutes. The hail storm
drove the people into their houses,
where they were caught like rats in
trap when the death dealing wind
came upon them with terrific force,
levelling everything in it's path. The
tornado swept an area $50 yards wide
for a distance of mile and a half
Houses collapsed as if built of card
board, covering the dead and injured
with the debris which necessarily
makes the work of rescue slow. Peo-
pie flocked to the town from all of the
surrounding country. Many of them
had relatives in the city. The work
of rescue has been carried on all day
and the funerals of several of the VIC
tins took place during the afternoon.
The supply Of coffins has been replen-
ished from other towns and a large
force of laborers are still at work dig
ging graves for many Of the unfortu-
nate victims. The citizens have per-
fected an organization and everything
is conducted in an orderly manner, the
work of caring for the dead and in
jured now being on a systematic ba-
sis.
The storm wrought severe havoc to
the surrounding country, but no lives
are repOrted lost.

The Luxury Of Doing Good.

e s A magazine article on ''The Luxury
Of Doing Good" quotes one or more
writer's to the effect that the impulse of
benevolence Is, in fact, a selfish one.
because people please themselves by
exercising the power of doing good.
This Kind OF dissection of motives
seems rather ungracious and unprofita.
BILE, as, although. logic Of course could
very easily reason out the matter to the
same conclusion, in actual life to take
delight in benefiting others is not, as a
rule, characteristic of selfish natures.
If we have the means of doing good at
little or no cost of sacrifice to ourselves,
whether In money. influence or any
other form Of helpfulness, it may per.
haps be truly said that we derive
pleasure at very cheap rate. But the
vast majority Of people can only do
good ut the cost Of some little self de.
NAL, and in those cases we can only
ascribe their actions to the simple quail.
