pressed with the arguments emanat-
ing from our valued contemporary,
the Richmond Nsvs, in palliation
OF the administrations policy in the
Philippines. From a recent editoria.
we take the following extract:
We cannot know the minds of these
people, but their fight is the same old one
that has been waged through the CEN
turies-the resistance of savagery to
civilization. 1t is natural resistance
and, from the standpoint OF the savage.
proper one. This American continent.
for instance, by every law known 10 man
kind was the property of the Indians
who Inhabited it. Presumably, the
Indians were happy and contented In
their way, but through centuries they had
failed to do anything for the world or to
develop any of the resources with which
Nature had so beautifully supplied them.
Therefore, 1t was written by the sternly
memorable hand of Fate that more pro-
gressivc and enlightened people should
come In and take their continent from
them with strong hand and make It q
working and productive part of the
world and home for those who could
or would do something to aid the mighty
onward march of the human race. All
the abstract principles of justice and
emotions OF sentiment are pushed aside
by the practical facts and by the ceaseless
demand OF civilization for new territory
TO occupy and develop aud for the ex-
pansion and increase of the nations
which advance.
The impressive part of our con-
temporary's views on the subject are
brought out distinctly when we recall
its general tenor In respect to the
British war in South Africa. LIE we
mistake not our contemporary is
strongly pro-Boer. The cases are al
most parallel ones. True, the Beers
are not savage race or barbarous
one, as We delight to term the Filipi-
nos, but they are unprogressive and
have for generations been great
stumbling-bIock to enlightenment
aud civilization. Applying the News'
argument, and using its words,
therefore it was written by the
sternly memorable hand of Fate that
a more progressive and enlightened
people should come in and take their
continent from them with a strong
hand and make it a working and
productive part of the world and a
home for those who could or would
do something to aid the mighty on
ward march of the human race"

Now is the glorious season of
baseball, and the proverbial winter
of discomfort gives place to a general
roundup of scrapping and argufy-
ing. Ball is noble sport, but when
it cannot be engaged in on friendly
and jovial terms it should be abol-
ished. Though great admirers of
the sport, we are forced to the con
clusion that its influence everywhere
is an exceedingly baneful one, for
we have never yet known it to fail
that where communities have rival
ball teams bad blood and jealousy
are engendered. With these detri-
mental results the good features OF
the game are laid in the shade.

SOMETIMES people are sorry for
having told the truth. Just at
present we are on the stool of re-
pentance for having launched the
account of our discovery of an egg
that contained three other perfect
eggs within it. From the way our
brother editors are guying us we are
almost inclined to doubt an existence
that our own eyes beheld. If they
will kindly "let mp" this time we
will promise not to offend again and
to keep all future discoveries along
this line to ourselves.

STILL ANOTHER OUTBREAK

SAAAH aNOAhbR OOIDhbAh.
At five o'clock Tuesday morning
a thick, heavy cloud, lit up by flashes
of lightning and the rising sun, rose
from Mount Pelee. The people of
Fort de France at once became
panic stricken, and in scant attire
rushed excitedly through the streets
of the town. Many of the inhabi-
tants hurriedly embarked on the
vessels in the harbor, and it was
with difficulty that they were event
ually treasured. This eruption sur
passes the first though there are few
victims left for it to destroy. 10000
people are shrieking and praying in
the streets of Fort de France, the
only city of Importance left on the
Island.

LATEST DETAILS OF THE ST.
PIERRE DISASTER.
st. Vincent Island Damaged More
Than Martinque.-Mount Pelee
Again in Eruption.


A person visiting st. Pierre says
a portion of the upper town was
RACED by cloud of fire, which crum-
bled everything in its course. In
the lower town near the harbor, a
few walls, bearing traces of Ere, re-
manned standing. The town clock
remained intact as if to show the
precise time of the disaster, marking
ESQ. Bodies whose attitudes were
perceptible were lying PROSTATE with
bowels protruding as though forced
out by the heat, and backs and body
csrbonized. The site has to be
guarded by the military to prevent
numerous pirates from the neigh
boring islands from footing.
CONDITION OF ST. VINCENT.
The ash-covered area of st. Vincent
exceeds that of Martinique. The
most conservative estimate of the
death rate here now places the num-
Der at I,700. About 1900 bodies
have already been inferred. The
entire northern part of the island is
covered with ashes to an average
depth Of Is inches. The crops are
ruined, nothing green can be seen,
the streets of Georgetown are cum
bered with heaps of ashes resembling
snow drifts aud ashes rest so heavily
on roofs that in several cases they
have caused them to fall in. The
suffering is worse than at Martinique
where death left fewer in the merci-
less grip of destruction. A portion
of the island has fallen into the sea-
the waves now rolling two miles in
land from the old shore.
Smoke and flames continually
burst upward to great heights from
the crater of Soufriere, aud among
the mass is an incessant play OF
colored fire. Dozens of lava streams
are flowing. AS they reach the sea
there is a tremendous kissing.
The Carib indian race, which occu.
pied the northern end of the Island,
has been practically extinguished. An
old prophecy that the Caribs would
be sacrificed to the fire god is thus
fulfilled. They are the vestige of
the original tribes after whom the
caribbean sea is named.

Mr.. W. s. Gilbert was no doubt pri-
marily responsible for the belief which
is everywhere prevalent that the en-
peror of Japan is always called the
mikado by his people. Ask nine men
out of ten what is the official title of
the ruler of the islands of the chrysan-
themum and they will probably think
they are being made fun of. Assure
them that the question is asked in all
sober seriousness and they will give
that of the title Of Mr.. Gilbert's i'm
perial opera For all this, the nine
men out of ten would be wrong. His
majesty is known as "tenno hei-ka,"
which means "his imperial majesty"
Thus the people of Japan address their
sovereign exactly as do the subjects
of the imperious kaiser. Mikado used
at one time to be the title, for it is the
oldest form of address in use. 1t has,
however, fallen into allegiance for sew
eral generations.

Two Big Wedding Fees.

When Coils P. Huntington was mar
ried for the second time, Henry Ward
Beecher performed the marriage cere-
mony. Huntington's first wife had
been dead less than one year, and he
desired the second marriage to be kept
secret until his return from Europe.
He gave Mr. Beecher a marriage fee
of $1,000. When Huntington returned
some months later, he went through a
public ceremony, and Beecher again
officiated. He gave Beecher another
fee of $1,000. The great preacher had
his humor aroused by this second fee.
Turning to Huntington, he said, "Col'
lis, do wish you were a Mormon"

yaDan,s Mountains,

All the mountains of Japan are OF
unouestioned volcanic origin, and Full
stands where Hondo, the main island,
is broadcast. About twenty craters are
still active throughout the islands, but
Fuii-san belongs to the much greater
number which are now inactive. Its
last eruption occurred in 1907, contin-
uing more than month. AS far away
as Tokyo, sixty miles northeast, the
ashes fell to depth Of seven or eight
Inches. while on the Tokaido, twelve
or fifteen miles southeast, the accu-
mutation was six feet. At this time
was formed Ho-yei-san, a secondary,
or parasitic, cone on the southeast
slope.
No other mountains in Japan reach
within 5000 feet of the elevation of
Full. and it is therefore in prominent
view from an immense area, including
thirteen provinces of the empire. Ger
tain avenues in Tokyo are called Full
mi, or Full viewing streets, and from
all of them the famous peak is glori-
Gus spectacle. All winter long the sum-
NIT of Fuii-san is unapproachable, and
from November to July SHOWS reign
supreme. In the latter month, how
ever, when the trails up the mountain
slopes are laid bare, the ascent be-
comes feasible and remains so through
out the summer and early autumn.

grindstone district in Ohio is included

featuring plants being within twenty
five miles Of Cleveland. The quarries
in southern Ohio are along the Ohio

northwest Of that city. A few quarries
are in West Virginia across the river
