IN MEMORIAM.

So many leaves have fallen dead and
vanished long ago,
The old tree sighs with shaken head
When 'er the young leaves grow.
So many waves have sought the
shore.
From out the oceans keep
That mother mourneth all she bore
When tempest stirs her sleep
And we like leaves and waves shall
fall
Or break upon the strand,
Death over us is Lord Of all,
This side the border land.

fund for, this purpose
J. D. Sandifer, of Whites, was a
visitor to our town this week, and re-
ports that on the night of the 9Th inst !,
his entire mill fixtures, consisting of
the latest improved gins, new Munger
press, grist mill, single and saw
mill, was completely destroyed by fire,
together with about 25 bales of cotton,
a quantity Of cotton seed and other
produce that had been stored in the
buildings. Mr.. Sandifer believes that
the fire was of an incindiary origin,
as it began in the gin house where nc
friction whatever was caused by the
machinery, and it seems incredible, he
says, for it to have originated in that
part Of the building. He arrived be-
fore the fire had made much Roadway,
and thought at first that he could ex-
tinguish it, but under excitement, he
failed. The engine and boiler are in
pretty fair condition, and can be used
again. Everything else was total
loss, without insurance, Mr.. Sandi-
fer says that he may rebuild the mill,
but not before next fall.

MT. PELEE STILL DANGEROUS
Vessels Caught in Heavy Shower Of Lava
and Ashes, Barely Get Away.

FORT DE FRANCE, May 90
Four ships had a narrow escape
from destruction in the harbor
at st. Pierre Yesterday. The
British cruiser IndefatigabIe, the
United States tug Potomac, the
steamer Estafette and the dredg.
er Converino were caught in a
heavy shower of lava, caused by
the renewal of the tremendous
eruptions from Mount Pelee.
The vessels just barely got
away before catching fire in the
dense gloom caused by smoke
and ashes thrown from the vol.
cano.

sentative, and the members of
his family. They will be brought
to Fort de France, where Mr..

ANOTHER WEEK OF TALK
Senate Will Sill Discuss the Philippine Bill
and the House Currency and
immigration.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The
entire time of the senate for the
present week will be devoted to
the consideration of the Philip
pine government bill, and there
is no reason for changing previ-
ons predictions made that the
debate on that measure will be
practically completed before the
close of the week. The fact that
there will be an adjournment OF
the senate, covering next Satur-
day, in order to participate in
the unveiling of the Rochambeau
statue, probably will have the
effect of postponing the final vote
until the following Monday or
Tuesday. There is, however, no
longer doubt in any quarter that
the minority will permit a vote
as soon as the debate on the bill
shall be exhausted.
Under the present arrange
ment the bill will occupy most
all the time of the senate this
week and the prospect is against
the sandwiching in of much other
business. Speeches in support
of the bill are promised by Sen
ators Burrows, Dolliver and
Spooner, and in opposition to it
by Senators Hoar, Bacon, Pat
terson and others.
After finishing the naval bill,
this week, the house will take up
the bill reported from the COM
mlttee on foreign affairs relating
to passports. One day will be
devoted to claims. the regular
day for that business last week
having been postponed. Under
a special order a bill for the re-
striction of immigration will be
taken up and it is expected will
cause quite a lively debate.
There also is a prospect of taking
up the Hill bill, relating to sub
sidiary coinage. This measure
will be strongly antagonized by
the minority, and may precipltate
discussion of the currency ques-
ton. Early in the week the
committee on rules will hold a
meeting to decide whether or not
time shall be given for the con.
sideration of the bill for a Pacific
cable.

when they succeeded in passing
the obstacle. Before them lay
the body of George Adkins, the
mine foreman, with the head
blown off. Other bodies, more
or less mangled, found a little
farther on, were those of James
Hightower and Robert Smith,
and that of a boy so mangled and
charred as to be unrecognizable.
All day long the rescuers toll
ed at slate distractions, each
time getting a little farther, but
constantly losing hope, for they
walked along one continuous
tomb. There was not a sign of
life. Every man had perished,
they believed.
Fully 1, 900 women and children
are left widows and orphans by
the accident. Their manifesto
tions of grief are touching and
have aroused great public sym
pathy. Many of these women are
in want, and a mass meeting was
held at Coal Creek last night at
which leading residents of the
town took steps to relieve the
needy. Near by Tennessee towns
were quick to send aid unsolicited
and it is not believed that any
general appeal for assistance will
be necessary.
The Fratervlllc mine is located
in Anderson County, Tennessee.
1t is the oldest mine in the Coal
Greek district, having been open
ed in 1870. A large area has
been developed and worked in iG.

HANNA MAY SETTLE STRIKE
Senator Free to Use Personal and Political
Influence.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-"The
coal mine is up to the mine oper-
ators. This is all that Senator
Hanna, president of the National
civic federation, will say. But
Senator Hanna as an individual,
or rather as chairman of the ma
tional republican committee.
brought the mine operators to
terms in 1900, when there was a
similar strike in the anthracite
fields, and the senator is not
barred from using his personal
and political influence now. be-
cause the efforts of the national
civic federation have failed.
He believes now, as he did in
1900, that the miners have just
grievances and that the operat-
ors are in the wrong. He be-
lieves that the excuses of the
operators for refusing to grant
an increase to the miners are not
valid. They said they could not
increase the pay of the miners
without increasing the price of
coal to the consumers. They
could have prevented strike by
granting an increase of per
cent in wages, and in two days
they have advanced the price of
coal to consumers about % per
cent.
Senator Hanna knows that five
or six railroads, financed by J.
Pierpont Morgan and the Van
derbilts, control the coal busi-
ness. In 1900 Mr.. Hanna went
direct to Mr.. Morgan and had a
heart-to-heart talk with him.
The strike was soon settled and
the miners secured all they de-
manded except recognition for
the United mine workers organ
ization. Mr.. Morgan is now in
Europe, but his business repre-
sentatives are in this country.

FIFTY-FIVE MILLION GALLONS
Revenue Commissioner Does Not Believe
Americans Can Drink Double
Amount of Whisky.

WASHINGTON. May 19.-The
whisky trust says that if con-
gress will reduce the tax on
whisky from 81 10 to 20 cents
the revenue derived from this
source by the government will
not decrease because the con-
sumption Of whisky will increase
to make up the difference. This
would mean that the whisky
drinkers of the United States
would have to drink $4,000, 900
gallons more whisky next year
than they did last year.
Impossible" said Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue
Yerkes. Il do not think the
American people are contempla-
ting going on such a spree In
my statement to the house ccm-
mittee on alcoholic liquor traffic
l simply included facts as to the
revenue raised from this source,
and made no argument either for
or against a reduction. There
are good arguments on both
Sides"
The committee has considered
Yerkes' statement. and the prob
abilities are that no action will
be taken by this congress, not.

representatives of the whisky
trust are making determined
effort to have the tax reduced.

At the principal service at 1890
a. m. every person in the church,
which was crowded, stood up and
took the oath. At vespers the
oath was administered to those
who were not present at the SER
vices in the morning. Father
Hussle delivered a strong SER
mon to the mine workers. He
told them that now that they
struck they must stand together
for the cause.
Clergymen of nearly all de-
nominations in their sermons
yesterday touched more or less
on the strike. The trend of re-
marks was toward forbearance,
frugality and temperance. The
great struggle was generally de-
plored and the hope was held out
that, though the strike may
cause much suffering for a time,
it may in the end result in great
good for both capital and labor.
The visit of a representative
of the National civic federation
to strike headquarters, and his
conference with President Mitch
ell of the United mine workers
last night, was the only incident
of any Importance that claimed
the attention yesterday of the
labor leaders and others around
the Valley hotel.

HAZLEToN, Pa, May 19.-An
impressive feature of the miners

members of st. Gabrlel's parish
in taking an oath to abstain from
the use of intoxicating liquors
during the period of the strike.
ST. Gabrielle church is the one
of which the late Rev. E.. S.
Phelps, the miners champion in
the strike of 1900, was the rec
tor.
Following out President
Mitchell's request that all mine
workers abstain from visiting sa-
looms, the Rev. James V. Hussie,
the present pastor, asked all the
members of the parish to take
the oath. Few, if any, refused.
