VOLCANO STILL ACTIVE.
Flashes of Fire and Stones Thrown
Out With Great Force.

Paris, May 12.-The minister of mar
inc. M. De Lanessan, has received q
cable dispatch from the commander or
the French cruiser Suchet, dated Fort
de France, Martinique, saying that he
conducted a search at St Pierre Satur-
day. he captain reports that lie
town IS now q mere heap of smoking
ruins under which the victims of the
catastrophe are buried. The Suchet
was able to convey some of The inha b.
itants of La Precheur to Fort de
France, but could not reach the north
ernnicst part of the island, on account
of the dense rain of ashes.
The captain of the Suchet further re-
ported that the Mount Pele volcano
still has a threatening aspect. Sub
terranean roarings were still heard,
flashes of fire frequently belching from
the volcano and stones were thrown out
with immense force. A dispatch r.
ceiVed at the colonial offices here from

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Asks Congress to Appropriate $780,
600 For Martinique.


washington May 12@The president
today sent the following message to
congress:
TO the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives: One of the greatest calan-
tiles in history has fallen upon our
neighboring island of Martinique The
consul of the United States at Guade-
loupe has telegraphed from Fort de
France, under date of yesterday, that
the disaster is complete; that the city
of St Pierre has ceased to exist; and
that the American consul and his fam
lily have persisted He is informed that
10000 people have lost their lives and
that $4,000 are homeless and hungry;
that there is urgent need of all kinds or
provisions and that the visit Of vessels
for the work of supply and rescue Is i'm
peratively required.
THE government Of France, while
expressing their thanks for the marks
of sympathy which have reached them
from America, inform us that Fort de
France and the entire Island Of Mar
Unique are still threatened. They, there
fore, request that for the purpose of
rescuing people who are in such deadly
peril and threatened with starva tlOns
the government of the United States
may send as soon as possible the means
Of transporting them from the stricken
island. The Island of st. Vincent, and,
perhaps, others in that region, are also
seriously menaced by the calamity
which has taken so appalling a form IN
Martinique. / have directed the de-
partments of the treasury, of war. and
of the navy to take such measures for
the relief Of the stricken people as lies
within the executive discretion, and
earnestly commend this case of unex-
ampledi disaster to the generous consid-
Grafton of the congress. For this pur-
pose recommend that an appropria-
ton of 100000 be made, to be immedi-
ately available

1t was with our best wishes that Mr..
Hicks bought out the two drug stores
and made a consolidation and opened
business. For few days the three doc
discovering that he knew no more about
drugs than they did about medicine
they naturally ''cottoned" up and made
a strong ouartette. Luck must have
been with these doctors for the preced-
ing six months, no patients had died
on their hands, but things were different
soon after Mr.. Hicks opened up. A
miner named John Shine wanted some
dose he was dead The news was borne
to the druggist, and there was cloud
of sorrow on his brow and a lump or
pathos in his throat as he said:
Really, gentlemen, but l am grieved
to hear it, much grieved. 1t may be
possible that 1 gave him arsenic or
strychnine, as I was busy at the time
and my bottles were not labeled, but if
so 1 hope the public will excuse me.
Poor man. I hope he did not go out of
the world blaming me-"
A few days later one of the doctors
sent in a prescription for fever when
nearly killed the patient, and some of
the sick mans friends were pigheaded
enough to want to raise row about it.
The doctor laid it on the druggist, and
the d1 uSgist met the lickers with:
Really, now. but I'm sorry such a
thing should have occurred, very sorry.
The prescription called for only two
ingredients, but as the patient has been
my friend I threw in two three more
to prove my appreciation. Convey to
him my sincere regards and assure him
that my object was in every sense Il
worthy one
1t was an open question with the pub
lie at Rocky Bend as to whether the
doctors or the druggist knew most
about drugs, but it was not an open
question with Mr.. Hicks. He knew that
he could give the three pointers all day
long an info the night and he
