HUMOR Of
AMERICANS
Something About Its Beginning,
and Its Peculiar
Quality.

| american Humorists," was the sub
Ject OF q twenty-minute talk made
yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock by
! Miss Helen Keany at the Young Wom-
ems Christian Association parlors. The
lecture was listened to by number of
ladies. who were we'll entertained. The
| speaker told of the time when Ameri-
| can hCmor first began to appear before
the reading public This was in Colon
1 ial times. The humor found expression
| in poems. sketches and announcements.
| 1t was Irvlng's Knickerbocker which
carle as the pioneer of genuine humor-
| Gus writing, the clearest and best type
| OF all, and since its appearance Ameri-
| ca has been the leading nation in it's
expression of genuine humor and wit,
and practically The only country which
has exported it. She said. as others had
said, that il was an American charac-
teristc 10 look upon all things face
tiously.
America is full of absurd situations
which appeal to the average mind in
humorous way, and these humorists
have used to advantage. The varie-
States. with their varied languages and
dialects; the sudden rise of the poor
men to affiuence, the spirit of democ-
racy which causes one man to assert
his equality with every one else, have
been The themes which have supplied
the humorists with much material. One
of the leading characteristics of Amer
lean humor les in it's exaggeration.
The American takes pride in saying
that everything in America is large
and bigger than anything in other
countries. Such exaggeration was
merely fun, but it served the purpose
of the bumorists.
The speaker thought the beginnings
of humor may be traced back to Ben
jdnnE Franklin. His maxims not only |
was real wit. Lincoln, a typical Amer !
iLan, was full of wise saws pregnant !
with kumor. Much of the work of hui |
morists, however, did not rise to the |
dignity of literature. Commencing |
with Irving and going down the line of |
such humorists as Holmes, Trowbridge. |
Mrs. Stowe, Howell, Aldrich, Hay, Egg |
gleston, Gable. Page, Chandler. Harris, |
Hamlin Garland, Mrs. Foote, Mrs. |
Phelps, Mary wilkins, Sara Orme. |

 The private and official advces received to- night in London from South Africa all point to the same conclusion. The Boer leaders are unable to convince all their followers of the wisdom of acquiescing to the terms Of peace.
 The surrnise of one well-informed person places the sum total of the deliberations of the Cabinet Ministers today at a decision re- garding the peace agreement of entirely minor importance Another surmise Is that the Cabinet has merely sent a rather mock ulti- matum to South Africa which can be used by the Boer leaders in explanation to their lined force. dependent upon the action of their general officers, peace probably would be proclaimed tonight, but Botha, DeWet and the other generals seem themselves unable to positively guarantee the degree to which their example will be followed

Mont Pelee's Peacefulness May Pre-

Fort de France. Thursday, May 22-A torrential downpour of rain this morn ing washed of the ashes from the vegeta- ton on the mountain. The United States steamer Potomac made her usual trip to St. Pierre today. with another party of scientists. She found the conditions there unchanged from yesterday. The top of the mountain was clearly visible for a considerable time.
 Captain Mclean of the United States cruiser Cincinnati, who has carefully ob- served Mont Pelee, agrees with other ex- perts in reporting that new crater has been formed below the old one. In the new crater. there is a great cinder cone, more than a hundred feet high. from which steam and volcanic matter Is con- stantly issuing.
 The scientists think 1t possible that a moro violent outbreak may occur. new period of rest is now on, and one of two things may happen. The pressure may be confined for a still longer period and then explode with still greater violence spreading destruction over vast area. or the mountain may remain quiet for another half century.
