The point that Col. Johnstone
makes on Congressman Latlmer
about starting with the Republicans
as McLaurin did, by the "get-aIl
YOU can" method, is we'll taken.
Whenever the Republicans find
man who is in for the "stuf' they
usually manage to find his price. 1t
is our duty to send men to Congress
not to bear off their part of the
plunder, but to stop the plunderers.
Our representatives have no right to
accept any patronage that comes
from the sacrifice of principle.

FRAUDULENT FAILURES.
A Bureau for Their Investigation Is to
Be Established.

New York, May ia plan which
has long been contemplated by the Ma
tional Association of Creditmen-the
establishment of Il bureau for invest-
eating fraudulent failures and prosecut-
ing those deemed 10 be guilty of such
practices is about to be realized, says
the Journal of Commerce. "A trust fund
of $4,000 necessary to start the bureau
practically has been subscribed, and
this new department of the association,
which will be national in scope, I'M
doubtedly will be opened in the near
future.
If the headquarters of the National
Association continue in this city, it is
quite likely that the bureau also will
be located here. Arrangements are to
be made with law firms to act as coun-
sci, to whom shall be referred all re-
quests for investigation and prosecu-
ton. If, after receiving an opinion
from its counsel on. the merits of the
case presented, the association shall
decide TO engage in the prosecution of
the case, it will be at once referred to
the legal representative to be selected
by the association in the territory
where the failure has occurred.

WATCH FOR RED HAZE.
Volcanic Dust Due to Be Seen About
Memorial Day.

New York. May 15.-William A. Ed
dy. the seismOlogist of Bayonne, says
that the sky will be colored by a VOL
canic red haze here by Memorial day.
He says that the ashes from the VOL
canoes in Martinique and st. Vincent
are thrown to a height of eight miles,
as described in the press dispa tches,
and that at this altitude the cirrus
clouds are moving with an average an
nau speed of 100 miles an hour from
west to east, as shown by hundreds of
cloud velocity measurements made by
him here and by others at Blue Hill
observatory near Boston, and at the
United States weather bureau at
Washington.
The millions of tons of finely divided
volcanic dust sent up at Martinique and
St Vincent would be carried around
the world in 10 days at this speed, but
allowing third for low velocities
Mr.. Eddy thinks that this hazy condi-
dition will reach the Eastern States. by
way of San Francisco. by Memorial
day. He says the red haze will be Wis
ibie only in case of clear skies, when
the highest feather-like clouds can be
seen,

One OF the unique fea lures of Miss

with automobiles. trolley cars and bulb
horns, its characters are Swagger men
and women Of the period, fresh from
the drawing rooms Of London and the
boulevards of Paris. and its costumes
are peasin@ly picturesque variations
on the most up-tO-date crea tons OF the
Partisan dresSmakers. In this latter
point, the piece is said to be particular
Iy noteworthy, for Manager Kirke La
Shelle is said to have provided for the
numerous beauties iii the Daniels COM
fair portion of the Daniels audiences
to cnvious distraction. Many of those
gowns have been imported direct from
Paris. Another point that Mr.. LeShelle
has insisted upon has been that the
girls who wear those gowns must be
well enough equipped in the matter
of form and carriage to be worthy of
the beautiful things they are given to

fashionable audiences. The seat sale

British West Indies, Monday, May p
Scientists who have come here from
the British island of Trinidad predict
another volcanic eruption on St. VIM
cent within a short time.
The damage done to St. Vincent by
the volcanic eruptions is now known to
he considerably greater than was first
estimated. The present uneasincss Of
the Inhabitants Of the island is in
creased by the continuous agitation OF
the volcanic craters. Friday morning.

fell in The neighborhood of Georgetown
for two hours. a cloud of hot Vapor
then passed over that port. Two erup-
tions of less magnitude than the first
occurred. Saturday. May 10, and from
then until today fire and smoke have
been ascending at intervals from the
craters.
Owing TO the great heat. it is still inn
possible to approach the Soufriere vol
cano from the leeward side.
Interesting discoveries have been
made in regard to the physical changes
on St. Vincent resulting from the erup-
tions. Several assures have been OBJ
served on La Soufriere. The estate al
Walibou has disappeared and has been
replaced by an inlet of the sea. Rich

which were 4 number Of laborCrs' cot

Volcanic dust fell here again. yester-
day. but fortunately there have been
also several heavy rain showers when
have washed away the dust from the
grass and restored the vcrdure Of the
fields. The condition Of the atmosphere
is also apparently improving.
Owing to the destruction of several
estates. the sugar and arrow root in
dustrit.s of St. Vincent are seriously
injured. Destitution prevails among
the laboring classes. who are without
homes. without clothes and hungry.
Nearly 20O0 deaths on this island have
been reported Bodies have been dis
covered in houses in lifelike attitudes,
presenting gruesome spectacle. There
are decomposed bodies in many houses.

II will probably be necessary Tor the
authorities to burn these dwellings.
Owing to the many difficulties in the

As wide areas of ground which for
merly produced food stuffs have been
devastated. there is, today, an abnor-
NAL demand for breadstuffs and con-

prices of food are advancing. The de-

has also caused n rise in the price OF
meat.
