Last week Jno. G.. Carlisle deliv-
cred an address before the bar
association at Saratoga, his theme
being the power Of the United
States to acquire and govern terri
tory. He contended that territory
can not be domestic for one purpose
and foreign for another, and that
the constitution applies to the
Philippines as to Porto Rico. He
argued that the power to tax people
and to prescribe political rights and
privileges, does not go to the extent
Of depriving them Of expression in
the management Of their domestic
affairs. He quoted numerous
authorities to prove his contentious
correct.

The Philadelphia Record was sold at
public auction on Thursday last to
William s. Stenger, former Secretary
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylya-
MIA. We learn from the Record of
Yesterday that he purchased $3.50
shares of stock and first mortgage
bonds, having par value Of S470, 600.
For the stock he paid 81, 300, 600, and
for each $1,000 bond he paid 81, 200.
The amount realized by the Master
for creditors of the Bank and Trust
Company is 81, 1000 In addition a
lot of $50 shares of Record stock was
sold at s211 per share. Added to the
purchase price of the bonds the pur-
chaser will have to pay interest due
on the bonds to the amount of $40, 900,
making the grand total of Mr.. Stem
gers purchases 81, 9O6, 450, which,
with the outstanding bonds Of $50, 600
par value and the remaining 800
Shares of the stock held by outside
parties, brings the value of the Rec
ord property to over 50, 100000.
The Record was the property of
William NJ. Singerly, who conduct
ed an honest and clean newspaper and
built up for it a splendid patronage.

but the Record kept on prospering,

IN MORTAL FEAR.
Girl Waited Three Hours for the
Burglar to Depart.

Z For three long hours early Tuesday
morning Miss Ada Enders, a society
girl of Paducah, KY, lay in terror in
her apartment. knowing that there
was burglar in the room, yet afraid
to make an outcry for fear he would
attempt to do her personal injury.
About 1 a. NJ, Miss Enders was
awakened by man prowling about
her room. eShe was greatly frighten-
ed, but lay quite still, debating what
to do. She heard him opening draw
ers, but as there was no light in the
room she could only distinguish the
outline Of the man. She was sleeping
upstairs, away from the thessrest Of the
family.
Miss Enders finally concluded to let
the prowler know she was awake, and
she suddenly cleared her throat. This
had the effect of making the burglar
cease his search. He crouched down
in a corner and remained motionless,
seemingly as frightened as the young
woman. The minutes dragged on,
each seeming an hour to the terror
stricken girl. At o'clock Miss
Enders heard the intruder slip out,
either at door or window, she could
not tell which. She aroused the
household, but after examining the
room nothing was found missing.
Miss Enders is i'll from the shock.

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature,-rain, wind and
sunshine often intermingfei IN single
day,-it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, half the
deaths resulting directly from this cause.
A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept
about your home for immediate use will
prevent serious sickness, large doctors
bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three
or four doses. For curing Consumption.
Remorrhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs,
Group, or any disease of the Throat or
Lungs, its success IS simply wonderful as
your druggist will tell you. Get sample

LAST REPORT FROM MARTINIQUE.
Scientists Predict Still Greater
Outbreak of Mont Pelee.

Fort de France, Island of Martin
ique, Thursday, May 22.-At 5 o'clock
this afternoon the sky was clear and
the population was calm, but despite
this favorable change in the situation,
many families left Fort de France by
the French steamers Versailles and the
Vile de Tanger, for the island Of
Trinidad and for Cayenne, French
Guiana. This, with the 1,200 persons
who have gone to the island of Guada-
loupe, and many others who have
sought refuge at St. Lucia and other
islands, has lessened the population
considerably. Besides these .ssome
2, 600 people have left for the southern
parts of the island of Martinique,
where 5000 refugees have now assem-
bled. This desertion of Fort de
France has resulted in the disorgani-
zation of many trades. A number of
bakers have been compelled to close
their stores, owing to the fact that
their employees are among those who
have fed.
The French cruiser Tage, having
Admiral Servan on board, arrived
here this evening. She reported that
Mont Pelee now presents more re-
assuring aspect. The clouds of smoke
leaving the crater mingle with the
clouds in the sky and do not have the
threatening aspect which they former
ly presented. A new crater has form
ed in the vicinity of Ajoupa Bouillon.
The United States steamer Potomac
made her usual trip to st. Pierre to-
day, with another party of scientists.
She found the conditions there un-
changed from yesterday. The top of
the mountain was clearly visible for a
considerable time. Capt. Mclean of
the United States cruiser Cincinnati,
who has carefully observed Mont
Pelee, agrees with other experts in
reporting that a new crater has been
formed below the old one. In the new
crater there is a great cinder cone,
more than hundred feet from which
steam and volcanic matter is constant
)y pouring.
It is now the unanimous opinion Of
the scientists that this is an explosive
volcano, no real lava or moya rock
material having been emitted, only
mud, steam, gases and fragments of
the old crater beds. The scientists
compare the mountains out-throw to
the steam of a boiler in which the
pressure rises to bursting point, and
they think it possible that more vio-
lent outbreak may occur. The scien~
lists remark that the explosions have
occurred at progressively longer inter
vals and they have also been progress
sively more violent. Thus there had
