VOLCANIC DoINGs NORTH.

Information has reached Juneau that sometime about New Years day a ter rible volcanic eruption occurred not far from Kenai on Cook Inlet, about sev- enty miles above English Bay. After the eruption, or during the time, there was terrible earthquake, which burst the mountain asunder leaving q large gap, and the flames could be plainly seen from the village. The ground at the town of Kenai was coy- cred with ashes and subsequently a tidal wave came in which did much damage. The water i'll the inlet rose to q great height and terror reigned throughout the village.
 The mountain was still smoking at the time the letter was written and occasionally large quantities of lava were thrown therefrom. The letter bringing this information is from the Russian priest at Kennal, who at one time resided here in Juneau. The Elk celsior did not stop here going down. and consequently the information which was sent here did not arrive until the return of the boat. The steamer at this time of the year can not make Kenai and the letter was brought out to the nearest office by a natiye.-Juneau letter via Seattle.

TWO KINDS OF JEWS.

Every Jewish community has an up- town and q downtown. The size of the city or of the Jewish community is not material. The uptown Jew is one who has certain distinguishing marks; for instance, he has arrived before 1870, he conforms to the Amer ican methods, he is less bound by tra- dition, and generally is wealthier than his brethren and lives apart from them. The downtown Jew has ar rived later, is not so adaptable. clings tenaciously for time to traditions not all religious-does not acquire the American spirit so easily, and gener- ally is poorer and lives In more cor gested quarters. It is not necessary that the up-toWner live uptown. or vice versa.
 But they are brothers and they have been trying to express their relation ship. The one has influenced the others capacity for earning q liveli, hood, has attempted to educate him To the requirements of the new envi- ronment by various means, judicious and otherwise. The other has. per haps, preserved those customs which have been lost in the shuffle of ad- ustment.-American Hebrew.

PARTING GIFTS TO ANNA WONG.

Friday at the Park Street school in Portland there was an affecting scene when little Anna Wong, q 1O-year-old Chinese child, the daughter of Wong Toy, bade farewell to her schoolmates and teachers. She is to leave today for China, where she was born. She came to Portland with her mother i've years ago, and since that time has for the most part attended the Park street school It was sad leave talk ing. for being native of China. the Chinese exclusion act will prevent her from returning to this country even if she should desire to do so. The chil- dren gave her copy of Longfellow's $ poems. because she had often said if she could be anybody but herself she would prefer to be AIr Longfellow The teachers gave her an Oxford Bi- ble and also a doll finely dressed Pictures. books and candy were given to her in profusion.- Kennebec Jour- nal

SUMPATHIzED WITH CHILDREN

Abraham Lincoln's reliance upon a personal God has been thought to date from the bitter private sorrow which marked the close of his first year in the presidency. His tender sympathy for all children early became familiar to the public: so did his passionate af- lection for his own. Willie Lincoln was ten years old, and his brother Tad was two years younger, when the family entered the White House. Both became sick early in February, 1862, and Willie, bright and cheery lad, dIeu on the twentieth day of that month. This was the most crushing afflIctiOn that had ever come to the President, who, for the moment, was completely prostrated by his loss; though. after the solomn pause which rests over every home wherein lies the unburied dead, he found the help he needed in the Christian faith. Ere long, his wonted serenity and cheerful ness returned to him. but he was rare ly heard to speak the dead boys name, while sorrow for the lost son gave an added intensity and tenderness to his love for the younger one who remain ed with him.
 Tad Lincoln has long been num- bered among the historic boys of America. He was the complete em- bodiment of animal spirits, a warm hearted ,fresh-faced youngster, q bois- terous, rollicking and absolutely real boy, whose pranks and companionship did much to relieve the tremendous strain his father suffered under while i'll the White House. ''Thousands who never saw the home apartments of that gloomy building" writes Noah Brooks, ''knew the tricksy sprite that frightened the weary years which Lin coin passed in Washington His fathA CT took great interest in everything | that concerned Tad;' and, when the long days work was done, and the lit tie chap had related to the President all that had moved him or had taken up his attention during the daylight | hours, and had finally fallen asleep under a drowsy cross-examnation, the weary father would turn once more to his desk. and work on into the night. Then, shOuldering the sleeping child. the man for whom millions of good
 men and women nightly prayed took
 his way through the silent corridors and passageways to his boys cham 1 ber.'
 This grateful glimpse of the man l who bore the sorrows of the nation in
 his own heart could i'll be spared from
 any account of Linco1n's life in the | White House. Tad Lincoln did not

Cecil Rhodes has passed to the great beyond, and behind him is left the wealth that he sought to reach and which has been the cause of the great est loss of life and expenditure of money of any event in recent years. If there had been no Cecil Rhodes there would have been no Boer war. The Hartford Courant this morning ikens Rhodes to George Washington. This is an awful slap at the memory of the father of his country, and the Courant will find many who will dissent from it's views. Rhodes may have been a lover of the flag he recognized, but that is no reason why he should try to abol- ish all the other flags that stood ill the way of his progress. Most people have formed the opinion that it was Rhodes $ fondness for diamonds and gold and not his love of flag or country that led him into territory not his own.

In accounting some of his personal experiences ex-Governor Shaw of Iowa, lately chosen to be Secretary Cages successor. as the head of the treasury department. tells how he once heard a small boy get the better of d lawyer who was cross examining him. Part of the questioning and the re- plies thereto were as follows:
 Have you any occupation?"

 Don't you do any work of any kind?"
 No"
 Just loaf around home?
 That's about all.''

Apropos of the smallpox scare in this city the following from the New Haven Palladium will be read with interest just now: Except where vaccination is compulsory, as in Ger many and Japan, smallpox is every where increasing. In our country there were 22,263 cases of smallpox during the past week. For the same period last year only 9.4O6 eases were reported. The deaths from smallpox during the past week have been 661, as against 136 for the same week of last year. Tie New York board of health has refused to support the movement for compulsory vaccination, although it's public acts are certainly based upon the theory that compul- sion would be wise if it were practi- cable. This kind of compromise in England has resulted in a terrible in- crease of the disease. We do not think the American people are so blind to their own self-interest as to allow the anti-vaccinationists to defeat q thor ough-going attempt to enact laws making vaccination obligatory

Ex-Governor Waller spoke at ban quet in Hartford last night and the trend of his talk was harmony in the democratic party. The ex-governor wants harmony, but not badly enough to affiliate with the democrats who are now at the head of the party affairs in state and nation. It is all very well to talk harmony and then kick over the traces when things do not go his way. Here are some of the things the ex-governor said: He spoke of his ac- quaintance with Governor Hubbard, and related some personal recollections of him. As far as the democratic party was concerned, he thought it was time to say nothing and 'saw wood" He thought it time for the prominent men in the division of the party to '.go way back and sit down, and for the quieter members of the party to come to the front He be- lieved that as the democratic party had DecoHe uAlteu in New LOnu0n IL cOulu get together everywhere else. Things were coming their way in the state and in the nation. He thought that the re- publicans were playing politics in their way in the convention and if they in. sisted in not giving the cities enlarged representation the results would be voted down and the state would be carried by the democrats.

There is q bill before congress to make the use of the metric system com pulsory in all government transactions, but there is some opposition to the measure. There was an equal opposi- tion to the use of the Arabic numerals when they were first suggested, yet the labor saved in multiplying 365 by 24 instead of the Roman CCCLNV by XXIv must have been enormous

one million stamps were sold in Chi-

One million stamps were sold in Chi- cago last week in one transaction. This is the largest individual sale of stamps on record. They were of the 4-cent and 1-cent denominations and will probably be used in the mail order business. It is to avoid such whole sale use of postage stamps, among other things, that fourth-class pound rate is being considered.

 But this we say to thee: For health and strength and merri-

 Of our business and our art, And there may be some pretenders
 Who may fancy they are smart But we stand before the public
 As solid as can be, And the best produce from China

 In the race for mundane gain; We'll treat you well whene'er you call At Jefferson and South Main. That is an old established house
 Where many things are free, And all our goods are up to date,

reached land. The steamer Alameda,
which arrived from Honolulu, brought
news of the abandonment OF the bark
on May 20, about 500 miles northeast
of the island of Kauai. The fire was
not discovered until a heavy explosion

SIXTH WEEK OF MINE STRIKE.
Effort to Bring Out Fire Bosses Not q
Complete Success.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 1.-THE
sixth week of the anthracite coal
miners strike began yesterday without
a ripple to disturb the calmness of the
situation. Rain fell nearly all day,
which helped to keep the more than
10000 idle men and boys indoors.
Several reports of assault on working
men and Coal and Iron policemen
were received here from different Sec
lions of the region, but no one was
seriously injured. 1t was expected
that Monday would witness the re-
fusal of a large number of fire bosses
and other mine bosses to go to work,
but the best information obtainable
shows that the number of men who
quit was not large. However, Prest-
dent Mitchell and other labor leaders
claim that nearly half of the men who
were at work on Saturday refused to
go unto the collieries Monday.
Casper Clark of Toledo, president of
the International Team Drivers asso-
citation, came in for some attention
by labor leaders. He submitted to an
Interview in which he said his organi-
cation would do all it could to help
the striking miners.

the law of life and holiness. During
these years your constant plea has

Your ministry has been to preach
Christ's theology, which promises to
destroy all the works. of the devil, in

your consistent daily life has been for
us an example of lofty purpose, of un-
