OF DREADFUL TRAGEDY

April 10Th of last year. It is all written
in the little Testament. Home was in
Hanover county for Basket, and there.
from where he was born, he took the
child wife,
His brother, John Basket. a farmer.
occupied ha.l of the house, but the bride
was happy in the modest little rooms
which were her home. For a time Eli
Basket worked in and around Atlee's
and Ellerson. and then he tired of 1t.
The man who could neither read nor
write saw a great future for himself in
Richmond and there he went TO work
several months ago. He securd employ
n1ent with the Trigg shipyards as ma.
ch1nlSt.
Now it was only at times he saw the
little wife During the week he was IN
Richmond and on Saturday afternoons
he came to Ellerson and walked over
to the little white cottage. There ne
poured the treasure he had made into
the child wife's lap and they laughed
together and hoped for future
But the continual absence OF the nus
band in the city began to tell on the wife.
She grew lonesone! she longed for some
thing to break the monotony OF her
married widowhood. Therefore. when
young man of her own age VINO nad
known her in Prince Edward county,
tall. robust bronzed chap, happened 10
meet her one day. it changed the cur
rent Of her life.
They were together much. lie caIleo III
the afternoon, while the husband hoard
ed up his little treasure, and he called
al night frequently. He scrubbed In the
little Testament lines of rhyme. and the
lonesome little wife accepted them,
They laughed over them. Then they pc
gan to take long walks together. and
finally the wtfe's eyes would brighten at
the approach OF this young man
And then the pale, thin. anaemic hus-
band began to tire the child wife. He
took medicine all the time; It annoyed
her. The strength Of the other man ap-
pealed to her physical side; the rhymes,
crudely scrubbed, in the little Testament
began to have new meaning. She ac-
cepted it; the infrequent visits OF her
husband was the excuse.
Finally there came an open rupture
John Basket noticed it, and his wife
noticed it, and their three little children
noticed it, High words were spoken At
times. and each time reconciliation was
more difficult At last the stories OF the
other man began to reach the husband
He doubted them; he was working Tor
her happiness and his own, and the
child-wife was true.
But as the quarrels become more and
more frequent the separations became
longer. Sometimes the husband ca me-
home to find that the child-wife was not
there to receive him. Thus it came to
pass that last Saturday when he came
home she was not there. She was

PREPARED FOR DEATH.
Immediately after breakfast Eli Basket
did a wonderful thing. He took tyo
shells for his gun and a sharp knife.
Then he sat down and cut the shells
almost in two just where the waddtng
separates the shot from the powder.
The shell was held together by strings
of paper.
When he had done this he placed one
she'll in the shotgun, tie other IN his
pocket, and went off up the road whist
ling. He had the revolver In his pocket
at the time. He stopped at little store
and bought ten cartridges: he showed

THE OUTLOOK IN CRETE.

Many Evidences of Progress in
 Candid.
 On landing at the port of Candid, after A four years absence from Crete, l was at once struck by the different appear ance presented by the place since my last visit In the spring of lS9s the Turkish soldiers were still occupying the town, while a large British force was encamped on the battlements to the right. Now, on stepping ashore, l found the new Cretan gendarmerie- splendid fellows, dressed in top-boots. baggy trousers and coats of black, with round black caps adorned by an oval red badge in front-guarding the ap- proaoh. There were none of those tedious formalties with teskerehs, or Turkish passports, which used to detaln the treavller on, or off, the quay NO questions were asked, no papers were necessary, and I was free to roam about the town at my own sweet will. Alas! the fine old Venetian gateway on the road up from the quay has disappeared. though the lion of St. Mark still holds his own on the rest of those noble ram parts, which for twenty-four years re- sisted the attempts of Turkish Islam to wrest the great fortress from It's Vene- tian masters. The main street, too, is, in the lower part mostly in ruins, and the Hotel de Crete, where the traveller used to stay, is now no more than a mere shell, the purport of which is in- dicated by the cid sienboard alone. But on all sides there are evidences of prog ress in the town, which was once the greatest stronghold of Ottoman rule in the island. The Hotel de Crete is ris- ing, phoenix-like, from It's ashes; fine European caravansary, the Hotel de Gnossos, has just opened it's doors in the main street, and the prices at the barbers' shops indicate that the stand ard of living has risen. There are still considerable traces of British influence at Candid. The town is spotlessly clean, thanks to the hereulean efforts of our men in the days of Sir Herbert Cherm- sides authority, and there are still 800 soldiers of the Lancashire Regiment in the cantonments there They have been fifteen months at Candid, and are soon to leave for Gibraltar, being thenE~-e- placed by 800 more. Thanks to their presence and that of their predecessors, one can pay at Candid in English money, and to the same source be traced such notices as every reasonable beer is sold in the Coffee Shop of Sion,' and Paradise: Ind Coope and Go.

The volume of lava emitted. according to this mans account, was greater than that thrown up on the morning of May 8. Bridges that had withstood the first eruption were carried away, floating on top of the stream of lava which overfloWed the Grande Riviere, literally moving down buildings in its course. The damage is estimated at S250,000.
 The authorities had promised to re- move the people from the Grande Ri- vere, but help had not been sent and all local means of transportation have now been destroyed.
