PELEE'S RECENT ERUPTION.
Details by an Eyevvitness-Fear of n
 Tfdat Wave

New York, Sept. 21.-The Quebec Steamship company's steamer Koreana arrived to-day from the West Indies. Among her passengers was Captain Walker Mckay, agent for the steamship company in the West Indies.. Captain Mckay said:
 T was at Fort de France, Martinique, August 30, the day of the most recent eruption of Mont Pelee. The explosion was terrific and the rumbling and de- tonations were continuous for a long time. This eruption it is estimated, caused the death of 1000 people and covered an extent of territory ten times May last. This time the track of the disaster was beyond the mountain ridge and spread out over the interior. I saw the mountain in eruption. There appears to be numerous apertures be- low the edge of the crater from which the steam is elected. The great cone is truncated and has changed considera- bly, in appearance The natives were abandoning large sections of the coun- try in proximity to the mountain. The government has warned the people to remove their effects to high ground in the interior, in anticipation of possible tidal wave.
 Martinique ill the northern part is greatly devastated, but the south is in full blossom and is thriving. We are shipping more freight now than before the eruption. It is mistake to say that the people are starving and are crowding the fertile parts of the island. The fact is that considering so many have been victims of the eruptions, the fugitives are comparatively few in

It is very hard to have been maligned as have been and not talk. but I shall nevertheless. adhere to that determination on my part. Con- corning my trouble with Lieutenant Peary and my experiences while living amosg the Eskimos. and the denial of food to me by Lieutenant Peary, even a little coffee without sugar, I shall say notking at this time.
 The reason I remained in the Arctic was purely one of duty to the expedi- ton, and was not for any monetary purpose. When was a member of the expedition I contracted not to publish articles, 2nd l shall not act otherwise now. There has not been single day since I left the expedition, over year ago, that I have regretted the step l saw fit to take. and the knowledge that acted in an honorable manner has done much to mitigate the unpleasant experiences I had and the attacks made on me"
 Dr. Dedrick said that he had heard of the assassination of President McKin- ley from whaler last June. He was met on his arrival by train from Boston by his four brothers. For the present he and Mrs. Dedrick are staying in New York.
 H. Bridseman, secretary of the Peary Arctic club, who went to Sydney to meet Lieutenant Peary on his arrival there on the Windward, also arrived to-day.
 SveTdrup's Disco Veries.
 London, Sept. 22-Dispatches from Stavanger, Norway, say that Captain Sverdup, who returned there last Fri day from his Arctic expedition in the steamship Tram, mapped, while he was in the north, an extensive island in the vicinity of latitude S137 and longitude 110. He considers it probable that groups of islands of the same character as those already known stretch to the westward as far as the meridian of the Behring Strait.
 The Times. in an editorial article on Captain Sverdups personal narrative of his trip. highly compliments the ex- plorer upon the abundant and valuable addition he has made to Arctic knowl- edge. His trying expeditions have filled a great gap in our knowledge, says the Times, and show that he did wisely in abandoning the larger task.
 The Times considers that, as Lieuten- ant Peary met no land in his last at tempt to reach the pole, Captain Sver- dup has probably discovered the last outline between the American continent and the North Pole.

on a white shirt which was of good make. His lip was clean, but showed evidence of having borne a mustache very recently. His hair has been cut recently and was not long enough to appear wavy. but 1t was quite dark, as were his eyes. His complexion was dark-in fact, his whole appearance would give the impression that, he was a foreigner but he spoke without ac- cent and his English was faultless.
 The prisoners fingers were yellow, the marks of excessive cigarette smok- ing. and when brought into the station house precipitation was dripping from his hands. The man is about five feet eight inches in height and weighs 135 pounds.
 Chief of Police Gillette was asked why the New York police had not been noti- fled and he said that he wished to be positive that he had the right man be- fore informing Captain Titus. The chief told how he was enabled to ap- prehend the man. Late this afternoon man entered the station at Stevenson and asked for New York paper. He said he wished to read the stock market report. He was handed a New York paper which published @ full account of the Pulitzer murder and also a picture of the supposed murderer. The man read the entire article and did not turn to the page which carried the market quotations. While he was reading the story the station agent noticed the re- semblance of the man to the picture in the paper and endeavored to detain him. He was unsuccessful, however, and after the man departed in the di- rection of Derby he notified the police of that city.
 The station house here closes at mid night and after questioning the prisoner the chief of police went home and retir- ed. He said that he would notify Cap tain Titus in the morning.

HIT X DROWNING MAN.
4 FLOW DELIVERED WITH
 CLEyCHED FIST
Called Out Protests, But It Wa
 Justified.

Justlueus
 It happened at one of the Long Isl- and Sound resorts one afternoon a week or so ago The day was hot and scores of bathers were enjoying the still, cool water Suddenly there was a cry from the crowd of spectators on the wharf, and ac ranning of necks. Some distance out in the Sound, swimmer who had been doing stunts for half an hour had suddenly begun splashing about furiously.
 Help! H-e-l-p!" he cried in fright ened shriek when he came to the sur face after sinking once.
 "A shark must be after him. said a frightened woman.
 No sharks in the Sound" corrected man of the crowd. He's got a cramp and is frightened to death.''
 Why does not some one save him?' cried the woman, as there came anoth- CT agonizing cry from the struggling man.
 Even as she spoke a strong limbed youth threw off his coat and tore away the fastenings at his shoes. One more glance to assure him that none of the men in bathing suits were going to the rescue, and he plunged Into the water.
 Get boat!' cried some one, but as usual in such cases at that particular moment there was no boat around
 The rescuer was swimming out, and the drowning man still splashing. The crowd cheered, and cheered again. It was plain that he would arrive in time.
 That young chap is hero" said an elderly woman.
 "He ought to have a medal for It," cried another.
 Where Is he?" demanded girl, who just worshipped heroes on or off the stage.
 Then change came over the crowd. The rescuer was loafing. With another stroke he could have grasped the drownig man, but he held back Was he going to let him drown, after all? The man with the cramp struggled and fought his way toward the rescuer and seized his outstretched arm.
 The rescuer struck him with his clinched fist, hit the man fin the face. It was an awful blow and the drowning man sank like a shot
 "Bruter" cried the crowd. Murder! He's trying to kill the poor fellow! He ought to be hanged. Just wait until he gets back to shore!" These and other exclamations came from the frenzied crowd
 Then cane another change. The head of the drowning man appeared, He had ceased to struggle. The rescuer was all action. Two strokes brought him within reach of the sinking head. He grasped the hair, rolled over on his back and started for the shore.
 The crowd which moment before had been reviling him began to cheer again. They made for the point of land to which he was heading, that they might receive him with open arms. Some of them worried because the head of the unconscious man .occa sionally went under the surface. They were told that it did not matter.
 That was the cleanest, most skillful rescue I've ever seen." said a man who seemed to know what he was talking about 'The big fellow that was drowning was so frightened over his cramp that he would have taken the youngster under with him had he not held off. He did just the right thing when he hit him. and now he's bring ing him ashore in the best possible way. He'll have to be resuscitated any way, and al title more water in his

4 PIPE, 4 SHIRT AND AN ENG
 LEHMAN

That evening when went into sup per could smell my old pipe in my coat pocket, ,sO left it behind the bar in the saloon room attached to the hO- tel The pipe had little history. The winter before had been living alone in a little cabin herding the east side of the Trinchara range for few weeks, while Perley was taking a kind of va cation in town. I lost my pipe and made pipe bowl out of clay and shap- ed it up and ornamented it little with a knife before I burned 1t. It was as big as your fist, but got quite a sue cessful bake on it. I made a stem out of elder wood, and a mouthpiece from calling bone from turkeys wing. A few brass tacks in the stem and a red rag twisted round it made it look sweet. and I used to smoke 1t with great sat- isfaction, though it was very heavy. When I came out from supper I went to the bar to get cigar. and noticed a big red-faced man in checked clothes, which didn't fit him, and kind of an English expression, handling my pipe, and looking at it with great interest.
 When you are through looking at that pipe. let me have 1t; it's mine" } Hi declare, hits rawther curious. Is it yours? Where did you get it?"
 Here the evil spirit entered me, and lied basely. Tt is a Comanche Indian. pipe"
 How did you get it?"
 Killed the Injun.''
 ''Ah, hindeed Will you sell it?"
 Yes, I would sell it for $2. He gave me the money quickly, and put the pipe in his pocket. I asked him to take a drink, and was thinking how I could spend the rest of the money on him, for I couldn't tell him I had lied, and I didn't want to keep the two dollars. We drank, and he asked me if I had any other trophies. Then I remember ed something. 'I have man here with me named New York, who has some thing you might like. He has a buck skin shirt trimmed with an Indian scalp. He killed the Indian, took the scalp, and made the shirt and cut the scalp in two parts and sewed them on the shoulders. A Mexican woman that likes him embroidered the shirt with silk. put on flowers. and horse with man on him. He has the shirt here in town in his trunk. He never wore 1t but once in town. and then he had & crowd around him in no time, and had to take it off and put 1t away"
 ''I would like to see it," said the Eng lishman.
 So went out and found York, and got him to put the shirt on When the stranger saw it he fell violently in love with it, and asked York how much he asked for it. York told him that he had no use for money, but that he would like certain pony that Texas man was holding for sale at Webb Browns stable.
 How much does he want for the hprse?"
 Don't know" said York. ''If you want to trade we will see in the morn ing"
 The Englishman paid s55 for the pony the next morning: and went to him and after making him promise to keep the peace, confessed about the pipe, and he laughed and said that it had | fooled him, and that he would give 1t 1 to his brother-in-law to put in his col | lection. and would enjoy hearing him talk about 1t.
 So York and went back to the ranch and I never saw that Anglo-Saxon any more.--FOrest and Stream.

Grand Opern Hnuse.

Looping the Loop" will be at the Grand Opera house the first three days this week, with matinee Wednesday. An exchange says: 'The company has chorus of a dozen young women and some excellent musical numbers are sandwiched in. These, together with several good specialties, serve to make the play success. The costumes are all new, bright and striking, and every one of the chorus numbers was encored. Dave Marion as Tumble Tom, Ben S. Neff as Alphonse, George B. Hoyt as Gaston, Andy Barr as Happy Hooligan and Florence E. Evans as Mrs. Katzen- jammer furnished most of the fun. Fannie Vedder, who is clever dancer, and whose work is already familiar here, contributed greatly to the enter tainment. Alice Brophy has a sweet voice, which was heard to good advan- tage."

It is always pleasant to commend the sincerity of manager or an artist in theatrical effort when it is evident, as it in "The Smart Set," which Gus Hill brings to the Grand Opera house next Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, with Saturday matinee In this cleyer- ly conceived three-act comedy he has placed fifty people of African descent, and full of southern ferwor and happy fancies, headed by Ernest Hogan, Billy McLain, Hattie Weeks, Millie Cordelia and Harry Morris Jackson, than whom. it would be difficult to discover more capable artists. He has also added dancers and cake walkers famous the continent over, and blended the whole into great colored symphony of song for the delectation of the public.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion FiIeater.

At the Hyperion tomorrow and Wed nesday nights and at the bargain mat inee Wednesday, when prices will be 20 cents and 50 cents, "The Sign of the Cross" Wilson Barrett's stirring hfs- torical drama, will be seen. This unique drama has been one of the greatest theatrical successes of the last five sea- sons. The piece was sent to this coun- try by William Greet, the celebrated manager of several of London's largest theaters. This year the American rights have been acquired by Frederick C.. Berger, and the company appearing in this city will be the only one playing the piece in America. Mir. Berger has retained many of the prominent Eng fish actors who last year played prom inent parts in MT. Greet's company. He has also bought all of the beautiful scenery and costumes. for which the piece has always been noted. During the summer Homer Emmons, the cele- brated New York scenic artist, has en- tirely repainted each set of scenery and the costumes have in most Instances been replaced by new ones of the same fabric and style. The production is,  therefore, practically new and as com plete in every respect as when five years ago the piece was first seen at the Knickerbocker theater in New York city. Mir. Barrett understands as few do how to effectively stage and costume a play. and he has never done better work, it is said, than in this the most successful of his many productions.
 Louis Mann will be seen here next Friday and Saturday nights at the Hy- perion in his new comedy, "Hoch, the Consul" He scored great success last season in "All on Account of Eli za." It Is said. that his new comedy is by far the best Tn which he has ever appeared. The company is the largest that he has ever had and the produc- tion is an elaborate one. There will be bargain matinee Saturday. Prices 25 cents and 50 cents. .. .. ..
