a Month Of Great Mystery.

- .&o3LA CI SISGI SIsIys
May, 1902, will probably go down
to history as month of many disas-
ters, for an equal sum total of calamity
has hardly ever before been crowded
into single moon. The followingis
brief epitome of the most notable
horrors:
MAY 1. A tornado devastated the
city of Decca, in India, and the ad-
joining country, killing SIG people
and running the crops.
May s. Volcanic eruptions on the
islands of Martinique and st. Vincent
caused the death of $4,000 people, it
is estimated, and rendered waste a
large part of both islands.
May 13. Twenty-three people were
killed and 2O2 were injured in an ex-
plosion of nsphtha at Sheridan, Pa.
May IA. News was received OF
the loss of the British-Indis liner
Camorts, carrying $50 passengers.
Il is not known how many persisted.
May II. Eight men were shot to
death and six people were wounded
in riot at Atlanta, Ga.
May Is From so to 1000 people
we're killed and immense damage was
done by tornado in Texas. The
storm extended northward, causing
death and damage in other States.
May 19. Between $50 and 200
lives were lost in an explosion In
mine at Coal Greek, Tenn.
May 20. A storm accompanied by
q waterspout swept over Cincinnati
and the adjoining county, killing six
people and causing over million dol
lars damage to property.
May %. The northeastern portion
of Iowa was submerged by foods,
causing great damage; 134 men were
entombed in mine at Fernie, Brit
ish, Columbia.
May "a. Portions of Illinois, Ne:
braka, Missouri and Kansas were
visited by severe storms which caused
extensive damage to property.
In addition to this appalling record
there were numerous minor tragedies,
such as the killing Of Paul Leister
Ford by his brother, the crucifxion
of a farmer in Arkansas, the automo-
bile accident at a speed test near
New York, etc, while within the
same period many men prominently
associated with the world g work have
died, among them being Amos Cum
mings, Potter Palmer, Archbishop
Corrigan, Frank Stockton, Admiral
Sampson, Brete Harte, the italian
aeronant Severe, and Lord Psunce-
.fote.
A tragic thirty days came to end,
truly, when the month of May was
numbered with the past.

An Innocent Wisconsin Man.

The Washington Times says that
a certain representative from rural
Wisconsin, desiring drink of water
before going to bed the other night,
found that the bell boy had neglect
ed to leave the customary pitcher in
his room. A little search, however,
revealed two small buttons on the
wall, under one of which was in
scribed, Push twice for water" He
pushed as directed, and when the
bell boy arrived with the water the
Congressman was found holding a
pitcher under the button.

Former Representative Takes Hopeful
View of Democratic Chances
in Keystone State.

Ex-Rspresentative McAieer, ~ho lor
several terms was the lone Democrat in
Congress from Philadelphia, was in
Washington yesterday. For number OF
years the Republicans conceded the dis
trict to the Democrats and made no
nomination against Mr.. McAleer. Two
years ago, however, when it was feared
that the Republicans might lose control
of the House, they insisted that the Re-
publicans of the district name a candi-
date. and Mr.. Henry Burk, aywealthy
leather manufacturer, made the race
against Mr.. McAleer and succeeded in
defeating him.
Mr.. McAleer takes very hopeful view
of the situation in the keystone State,
viewing it from Democratic stand
point. While he is not so optimistic as
TO believe that the Democrat will elect
their candidate for governor, he is quito
certain that they will gain number OF

trolled absolutely by t.c Republican ma

JUDGE GRIGGS IS ASKED

Contest Over the Result of Democratic

Judge Griggs, the chairman of the

gressicnal honors, as 10 which one of
them is entitled to the Democratic nom
ination. The case comes from the Ashe-

The Democrats have been entertaining
hope of redeeming the district and
electing a Democrat in place of Mr.
Moody. Their chances are. however
greatly reduced b. the factional fight

fused to recognize his opponent as the
rightful nominee and has appealed to
the national Congressional committee.
as to his jurisdiction in the matter. Mr..
Campbell declares that the proceedings
of the convention were irregular, that
delegates were seated who were not
properly chosen; that the nomination
does not represent the Democrats of the

general makes a number of charges
against Mr. Gudger
