AN UNPARALLELED DISASTER.

liz OSS u III blOh vi bllC Slby vi op
Pierre in the French West Indies
by volcanic eruption on Mt. Pelee
is in many respects the most appal-
ling event of the kind recorded in
history. The only horror that will
compare with it is that told in sacred
history when the cities of the plain,
Sodom and Gomorrah, were blotted
out by rain of fire and birthstone.
The island of Martinique, which fur
nished the scene of this calamity, is
one of the largest and loveliest of
the hundreds of isles that stud the
caribbean sea. Its principal city
was ST. Pierre, containing some 25,-
600 inhabitan ts-about 1000 of whom
were pure whites, the rest creoles..
This city stretched along the coast
at the base of Mt. Pelee, whose sum-
nit lowered above it to the height
of over 1000 feet. It was only four
miles to its peak. The crater of an
extinct volcano existed at its sum-
nit. Its internal fires had long
since been put out, or at least there
was no outward manifestation of
their presence. Instead of volcanic
fires, placid lake filed the crater.
This lake was a favorite pleasure re-
sort of the people of St. Pierre. In
row boats and other craft they
were accustomed to ride over its
placid waters.
The island, and, indeed, the archi-
pelago, bears strong evidence of
violent volcanic energy. These
forces, however, potent no doubt
beyond all human conception in pre-
historic times, had slept for ages.
Latterly, evidences were not wanting
that the pent-up energy was waking
into life. The lake subsidized, it's
waters filtrating into the bowels of
the mountain. For two weeks or
more mysterious rumblings were
hear, and the rocky ribs we're
cracked aud fissured. These warn
ing notes were needed by the gov
ernment, and an expert dispatched
to the scene, who fatally miscalcu-
lated the conditions, and reported
''all's we'll" Suddenly, on the morn
ing of the 8th of May, the mountain
was literally torn asunder, and a
storm of fire, rocks, steam and
poisonous gases fell upon the DOOM
ed city that converted it into vast
charnel house in a few seconds. Not
a human being within its limits sur
vived, and few of those manning the
vessels in the harbor escaped to tell
the story. For those on shore there
was no possible escape; there was
no time to think, much less to act.
The breath OF Gehenna smote them.
and dried up the fountains of life in
an instant. Never before within
authentic times has there been such
sudden, complete, and appalling
transition from bustling city to a
sepulchre. In the presence of this
catastrophe, the world stands aghast.
The world has had its buried cities
before. Nineveh and Babylon we're
made uninhabitable, by slowly act
ing forces of nature, and gradually
entombed by the drifting sands of
the desert. The very site of these
ruins remained matter of coniec-
ture for centuries. Herculaneum
and Pompeii met a fate somewhat
similar to this modern disaster, but
st. Pierre will go down to history
as the most terrible illustration of
the sudden waking of the hidden de-
structive forces of nature that the
earth has witnessed in historic

When you are about to buy suit
of clothes, it would be absurd to go
to a carpenters shop. When in
need of medicine, you would not call
on the blacksmith to prescribe for
you. To reasonable people it will
appear that to buy a suit there is
but one place, and that is the tailor
shop, where your suit can be fitted
on you before being made up; and
where you can select your goods,
not from piece of scrap on paper,
where in nine cases out of ten when
your suit arrives it isn't at all what
you selected. If you buy it home
you can select your goods from. a
large assortment of piece goods, and
can see what you are getting for
your money. Your ready made
suits are pressed and remodeled with
no extra charge; this l guarantee.
Remember mine is the only place in
Jackson where you can have this

In addition to their fielding abilities, Dolan
