TO SEPARATE INSANE

action is the result of the recommen-
dation of the board of state charities

part of the unsatisfactory conditions
existing ut the prison could be traced
to the presence of the criminal insane
with the other prisoners. and the fact
that the rules of the prison were made
TO apply to all alike. so that the in
sane did not in all cases receive the
proper treatment.
Governor Durbu says that provision
Will at once be made for the separa-
ton. and that part of the northern hos

stance they would not further be con-
fined in the cellhouSe. The recon-
mendatiOn of the board on its special
investigation was: We recommend
that proper provision be made by the
next legislature for the criminal in

the headquarters of the United Mine
Workers as regards the number of
men out there is an almost unani-
nous response in the various districts
on the part of the engineers, firemen
and pumpmen to the strike order of
the executive board.
In the Hazelton district all the COM
panies whose men deserted the post
promptly filed the places of the
strikers with non-union men brought
from Philadelphia.
In the Wyoming district nearly all
the colliery pumps are in operation,
although the firemen generally obey
ed the strike order. The pumpmen
and engineers also remained away.
NInety-dve Per Cent strike.
In the Shamokin distrist at least %
per cent of three classes of work
men struck for the eight hour day.
The loading bosses >and fire bosses
refused To take the places of the
striking engineers, firemen and pump
men.
In the Shenandoah district the ma
chinery for taking water TO the sur
face is at a stand still. Everything is
quiet in all the districts.

DESCENT DANGEROUS AS ASCENT

Followed Down by Rage of the Mount
Mud May Work Havoc.
Professor Heilprin's journey down
the side of the mountain was fully as
perllous as the ascent. Mont Pclee
seemed to resent the Intrusion OF a puny
human being into her most awful pre-
cinctS, and belched out huge volumes
Of steam, ashes and boiling hot mud.
The professor made the important dis
covery that the crater at the head of
the River FallaiSe has SynchronouS
eruptions with the crater at the sum-
nit of the volcano, and that it elects
precisely the same matter at such
times.
In the course of one eruption of the
River FaIlaiSe crater an enormous
mass of intensely hot mud was eject
ed. This flow reached the rum diStil-
lery on the Vive plantation and ex-
tinguished all the fires there. This tor
rent of mud may invade the entire
plantation, and as Nive Is the center
of one of the richest districts of the
island it is feared the damage may be
great.

details of Professor Heilprin'eS ascent.
The party proceeded on mules to an
altitude of 100 metres, che ancient line
Of vegetation. From this point Profess
sor Heilprin continued on foot Upon

hours. When he returned to Nive he
