ago, but recovered sufficiently to go
to England in 1901. He spent last
winter at Torquay, and moved to

by a grand jury for some things he
had written. He did nothing in the
matter except to prove that one OF thu
grand jurymen had been continuously
connected with disreputa BILE house in
New York. That ended the grand jury
trouble. Later he was arrested on
the charge of criminal libel. There
was warrant, and the officer serving
it selected Sunday morning as the best
time to drag the editor to an account.
This experiment only called for an
added assortment of editorial broad
sides directed against New York poll
ticans.
Mr.. Godkin had been newspaper
writer almost from the time of his
graduation at Queens college, Bel
fast, in 1851. At the conclusion of the
Crimean war, through )ut which he

an editorial writer on the New York
Times, he established The Nation, a
weekly publication, which he edited
until it gained control and was united
with the Evening Post. Mr.. Godkin
became connected with the Evening
Post in 1881. The force and influence
of the paper are credited to his vigor-

ALL PALIC STRICKEN
Citizens of Martinique want to Leave

Fort de France, Island of Martini
que, May Ex-Governor L'Huerre is
on board the French cruiser Suchet.
Com operative quiet is restored. but
every one is trying to leave the island,
which the inhabitants believe to be
doomed. Should the volcano again
resume activity, scenes OF panic and
horror will surely occur. Under the
frightful strain, the crowds are losing
their nerve and even the foreigners on
relief and other duty are nearly worn
out with the ceaseless vigils, day and
night. So. -.
Nevertheless, no further relief seems
needed. The people do not require
food. They want to get away entirely
from this place.
II is reported that the whole popu-
lation of the island is fleeing towards
Fort De France. The G. nsternation
prevailing is indescribable. Mont
Pelee is still very threatening.
The French cruiser Suchet went on
another tour round the island and did
not take part in the rescue work of the
| Potomac.
Yesterdays eruption from Mont
Pelee was violent in the extreme.
Colossaltcolumns of volcanic matter
we're elected from the colcan, which
rained huge redhot boulders, man
feet in diameter, on the ruins of st.
Pierre and the country near it, from
an enormous elevation and with fear
full velocity. The volcanic clouds ad-
vanced until they reached Fort de
France.
The spectacle was appalling and be
yond description. The whole popula-
tion of Fort de France was thrown
into frenzy OF panic, during which
soldiers, police, men and women, all
terrified, frantic, weeping and pray
ing, rushed through the streets, while
overhead the glowing, fiery clouds
rolled relentlessly and rained down
stones, still hot, amid the swirling
ashes.
The steam launch of the United
States cruiser Cincinnati took some
refugees to the French cruiser Suchet,
and nearly hundred persons sought
refuge on the Cincinnati and on the
United States special steamer Poto
mac.

THE LESSON FROM MAINE.

OOHlc VI TIE SSteSLlCu Ib0puDilCdu pa
pers are writing editorials about "the
victory in Maine" as IL there was any
thing in 1t to rejoice over. yet it was
but a repetition of what has been going
on during the last three decades. at least,
with little variation. BY some sort of
combination the Fusionists elected a
Governor in 1880, but by a majority of
less than 200. With that exception that
lost and ruined commonwealth has been
giving Republican pluralities ranging
anywhere from 5000 to 5000, the size
of the vote depending on the amount of
the issues involved. The plurality this
year Is very much larger than it usually
is in of years, which only shows that
the Republicans are very much "sot in
their ways"
We have recently seen two reasons
given by men who claim to be acqualnt-
ed with conditions up there to account
for the ur usually heavy Republican vote
this year. One of these explanations Is
based on the visit of the President to
4NGW UShi6 SOASShNOo thoS
his presence and speeches caused unusual
enthusiasm and caused the people to
turn out and vote more numerously
than they have been In the habit of do
ing except in Presidential years.
This explanation is natural enough and
can increase, but the second explanation
given is not at all complimentary to the
Democrats. 1t is stated with no little
detail and positiveness Of assertion that
the really large Republican vote is due
to Bryan's tour of the East recently.
The Democratic harness does not lit as
closely in Maine as it does in some Sec
tions,. and above all they are opposed
to the free silver fallacy. Here are SOME
Presidential Democratic votes, in round
numbers: In 1880. $1,000; in 1884, $1,000;
in 1883, $4,000; in 1892, 5000; in 1896. $4,000;
and in 1900, $1,000.
This shows that the vote for Bryan in
1896 vas but little over half the vote for
Hand in 1880, and in 1900 it was but
little better. Those Maine Democrats
are down on free silver, and show it by
their votes. They had hoped the issue
was a dead one, but when Mr.. Bryan, in
his late visits to the East, persistently
and doggedly proclaimed that the IL to
issue is living and vital one, and that
it must control the Democracy in 1901,
with much more along the same line,
those sound money Democrats were dis
gusted and either remained at home or
voted the Republican ticket.
We do not say this was the right thing
for Democrats to do. but we do say it
was the natural thing for the Maine
Democrats to do, as they look at it.
With them sound currency Is the par
amount issue and they will turn their
backs on their party rather than on
their belief in the gold standard. And
we predict that Maine is not the only
State where like causes will produce like
effects.

POKER GAME FOR FAIR ONES.
indianapolis Women Play Game
Skillfully and For Big Stakes.

A coterie of well-to-do women in In
dianapolis have become so addicted to
the game of poker that they regularly
meet for play nearly every afternoon in
the week. Their rendezvous is at the
Hotel English, and a dollar limit is the
smallest one allowed With the excep-
ton that there Is no "rake-off" it is
full-fedged professional game with no
difference between it ana that patronized
by the sterner sex. The women, 1t is
reported, handle their cards carefully,
paying strict attention to business, and
In addition, the usual poker hands as
baptized by Hoyle, dogs" cats"
'jump-ups," and other intricate hands
are played with a skill and a nerve which
characterize the women as veterans. The
game is not open to the public and It
only runs when there is enough to sit
in"
The players, as a rule, are limited to
married women, who have telephones at
their homes and who are notified by wl.c
when there is something doing" There
are no pink tea features, the players
getting together solely to play cards for
money. 1t is pure, cold-blooded business
without sentiment and only the best
nlayers and those who always cash their
losses are let in. None of the cheap
players, those willing, for instance. to
limit the wager to % cents, are invited.

THE NEW DIsCoyERY

Those who imagine that the applica-
ion of bee-stings as a cure for rheuma-
lism is fake or mere passing fad
may be mistaken. True. 1t may not be-
come part of the curriculum Of any med
!cal college. but 1t is getting in its work,
and viii take its place along with many
Of the other innovations which are being
made on the old style of practice. Be-
fore long we expect to see the doctor
start forth provided with box of well
developed and robust bees instead of the
prescriptions to be swallowed-after
shakinE-the medical mans directions
will read something like this; Zone
loaded bee to be applied three times
day." or two full grown bees applied ad
iibitum."
This 10 a great discovery and we an
ticipate some lively doing in connection
with the actual application of the rem
edy. Doctors do not always explain their
treatment or tell just what medicine they
are going to use, and they may try to
conceal their operations in this case, as
to see a man suffering from a severe
attack of rheumatism, for example. He
bares the suffering member and, instead
Of gently rubbing it. as the patient ex
pects, the medical fellow jabs loaded
bee-sting into the tenderest part. Will
there not be something doing in that vi
entity almost immediately And a doc
tor may be called in to see a child whose
mother just knows it is dying with rheu-
matism when it is only suffering from
green fruit. But the doctor must do
something. so he jabs bee-sting where

This may really be great invention

observation lays in the application on

depend on its application. Some practi-
tioners will be more successful than
others. and some will probably only ap-
