Judge of our hero's establishment
when Pete translated this back to
him:
"She says she'll marry you but she
don't like your crooked back the least
Bit" Zoe stood by, listening to Pete's
English, her eyes beaming over with
love. Now. laughter is close akin to
love, and for the first time our hero in
those Grecian orbs saw only laughter:
he was wounded in his most sensitive
point, and that by her whom he loved.
When schoolboy in Ireland, his
backed Callaghan, and even his broth.
er officers sometimes twitted him
good.humoredly on his slight deform.
ity. but now, unkindest cut of all, his
beloved Zoe told him that indeed she
would marry him, but she did not like
his humpback the least little bit.
With one reproachful glance at Zoe,
he turned slowly and walked away.
Zoe saw the reproachful glance. and
felt, like the soldiers at Balaklava,
that someone had Numbered. Per.
haps. she thought, he was going away,
as he often did. because the passers.by
were beginning to notice. Perhaps he
would return.
Time rolled on, calmly and inevi.
tably as If nothing had ever happened
to mar the happiness of two human
beings. Time rolled on, and every
morning Zoe FURNISHED her apples
with the same greasy rag, and always
looked neat and trim, expecting him
to return.
She had learned enough English now
for all practical purposes. But he
never returned. He is still single,
somewhat more silent than he used
to be, but a brave and faithful officer;
and Zoe, with the blue.black hair that
Michael admired so much streaked
with gray, is still the Grecian maiden
of the apple stand.
The moral of this true story Is:
Never propose in a language you d.
not understand, and never employ Pc
tros Zarouski to interpret the reply.

the tears stood in his eyes.

The Capital OF Martinique Destroyed
by Volcanic Disturbances.

Wednesday for Martinique, returned
to st. Lucia at o'clock this afternoon.
The Roddam brings report that the
town of st. Pierre, Martinique, had
been totally destroyed by volcanic dis
turbances in the island.
Almost all the inhabitants of st.
Pierre are said to have been killed.
The Roddam reports that all the
shipping in the port has also been de-
stroyed.
The Quebec Steamship Company's
steamer Roraima is mentioned as lost
with all on board.
The Roddam was almost completely
wrecked. Her captain was seriously
burned and seventeen of her crew are
dead.
The Roraima, Captain Muggah, left
New York April 26th for st. Thomas,
where she arrived May I'd. From st.
Thomas she proceeded for st. Croix,
De Mare, etc.
1t was announced from st. Thomas
last Saturday, May Sd, that st. Pierre
had been covered with ashes to the
depth of a quarter of an inch as a re.
suit of the outbreak of the Mount Pc
lee volcano, and the town appeared to
be enveloped in fog. t
A second dispatch from St.FThomas,
dated May 9Th, said the flow of lava
from the Mount Pelee volcano, which
began last Saturday, had completely
destroyed the Guerin factories, situat-
ed about two miles from st. Pierre. It
was also reported that about $50 per-
sons had been destroyed and that
great panic prevailed at st. Pierre.
The town of st. Pierre, the CONNER.
cial capital of the French Island OF
Martinique, is on the west coast. The
port there has only an open roadstead.
The town has population of about
$4,000.
The Island of Martinique contains
several extinct volcanoes, the highest
point being Mount Pelee, with an alti.
tude of 449O feet.
The British steamer Roddam left
London April 18th for Barbados.
London, May "a dispatch to the
Times from st, Thomas says that the
city of st. Pierre, Martinique, and it's
inhabitants, with ali the shipping in
the harbor, have been totally destroy
ed by volcanic eruption.
A second dispatch to the Times from
st. Thomas, dated Thursday, says that
smoke and fire from st. Vincent are
visible from st. Lucia. 1t is reported
that the craters on the Island of Do
minica are showing signs of activity.
Decorations are audible in all the
northern islands.
Paris, May 9.-The commander of
the French cruiser Suchet has tele-
graphed to the Minister of Marine, M.
de Lanesan, from Fort de France, ISL
and of Martinique, under date of
Thursday, May Sth, at 10 p. M, as
follows:
"Have just returned from st. Pierre,
which has been completely destroyed
by an immense mass of volcanic fire,
which fell on the town at about eight
in the morning. The entire popula-
ton (about $4,000 souls) is supposed
to have persisted, have brought back
the few survivors, about 80. All the
shipping in the harbor has been de-
stroyed by fire. The eruption con-
tinues."

Refused,
(By the Associated Prass.)

New York, July 17.-Henry T. King.
thirty years old, entered the office of the
New York Founding Asylum this after
moor and shot two Sisters of Charity.
He then ran into the grounds of the in
stitution and shot himself in the left
breast, making only a flesh wound. King
was taken to a police court, where he
was committed without bail for eXamina-
ton Saturday. The injured sisters are
Sister Angela, forty-fiVe years old, shot
in the right ARM, and Sister Cecilia,
thirty years Did, shot in the left arm and
side. Neither was fatally hurt.
King, who has been q frequent visitor
to the Founding Asylum, is believed to
be demented. He suffered for some time
from ~melancholia.
When he was arraigned King said he
had begged the authorities of the Found
ling Asylum 20 give him information
about his birth, but that they had re-
fused to do 50. This so angered him, he
said, that he did not know what he was
doing.
King came to this city in 1898 from
Baltimore and commenced a search for
the identity of his parents.
