From financing the young plunger

year and a half ago. Looking over the
situation last August, he found himself
worth $1,0OO,000, and he contemplated
retiring from active business to devote

an interview he said: 81 have nothing

But the plunger made a mistake; he
did not know when he had enough. He
could not break the habit of specula

chance to make one more killing in

account for a loss of 100000 to $780,

buying on the scale down. His fortune
melted away like snow In a July sun.
He became desperate. He tried to re-
coup in other stocks and lost. He bor-
rowed $272,00 of the First National
Bank, $780, 900 of the Preston National
Bank, $4,000 of the Detroit Trust, $50.

In Central ar, New York City,

there is seemingly nothing to the left

the rocky ravine causes one to look
that way. But glancing to the left one
sees an object well worth examining.
The twin trunks of a tree are united
at a height of about ten feet by a
branch of the left trunk, which is per

fact that the trunk is thicker above the

strength to rend the earth's crust, thus
causing earthquakes and a way of es-
cape for the solid and liquid materials
which are belched from the earth's In
terror. Volcanic activity, though 1t be
continuous, differs very much In de-
gree at different times. Nearly all of
the active volcanoes nave times of rel
alive repose, interrupted often at great
intervals by periods Of increased ac-
tivity which terminate In a violent
eruption. Thus it will be seen that
oftentimes that which Is called an ex-
tinct volcano Is but a seething, roar
ing mass of burning lava below the
surface which finally bursts forth and
in many instances with appalling loss
of life.
Whatever the remote cause of a vol
canic eruption may have been it is diff
ficult to believe that the immediate
cause a be anything but a gigantic
explosion of steam in the bowels of
the earth. 1t Is known that water
penetrates to considerable depths in
the earth, even In the middle of CONT
nents. This water goes as deep as the
gradually increasing heat of the planet
will permit 1t to do while retaining
the liquid form. When, however, it
encounters heat sufficient to liquefy
solid bodies, 1t is changed into super
heated steam-a thing whose resistless
power defies the mightiest bonds. and
even the rocky crust of the earth can
not withstand the explosive energy
that is thus brought to bear upon 1t.
The question often arises as to why
these explosions do not occur any
where. Sometimes they do and then
we have a new volcano. Ordinarily,
however, the explosion occurs through
the vent or throat Of an already exist
ing volcano, because the weakest
points, or lines, in the earth's crust are
the places where new assures are like
ly to be formed, and along these lines
of weakness the volcanoes stand like
rows of safety valves or chimneys.
On the American continent modern
volcanoes are limited to the Pacific
slope, along which they may be traced
almost continuously from Cape Horn
to Alaska. Great numbers of volca-
noes occur throughout the Andes
fountains, in South America. There
some attain immense heights, such as
Catopaxi, In Peru, which reaches an
elevation of 1880 feet above the level
Of the sea. The volcanoes of Central
America and of Mexico are numerous
and conspicuous. Throughout the
Aleutian Islands, on the north, the belt
of volcanoes in Western America Is
connected with those of Kemchatka,
which, with those Of Kuriles, In Japan
and of the Philippines, form a chain
of volcanic vents to the East Indian
archipelago. Thus It will be seer that

The recent appalling catastrophe In
the Island of Martinique in which
many thousands of lives were lost,
owing to a volcanic eruption of Mount
Pelee, naturally turns the minds of
many to the consideration of these
strange phenomena of nature which
have been q menace to life since the
beginning of time. To the geologist
and scientist volcanic eruptions have
long been a most interesting problem
and a source of constant investigation.
There is every evidence to prove that
these eruptions extend back through
ages and ages of the worlds life. In
ali parts of the earth are found noun
tains and other land formations which
are the result of long protracted erup-
lions of volcanoes.
Eminent authorities differ as to the
exact cause of these eruptions. seem
ingly from the bowels of the earth.
The generally accepted opinion, how
ever, is that the metallic bases of the
earth when brought into contact with
the waters of the ocean react violently,
generating a great amount of heaS

elements of the silicated minerals
which make up the volcanic rocks and

Mothers with Infants In Arms
Driven Into sleety streets at st.
Louis.
st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 2S.-Two hundred
and thirty guests of the Lindel hotel
were driven from theft apartments into
the sleety streets by raging flames
which wrecked the adjoining building
at the corner of Seventh street and
Washington avenue, and threatened to
sweep away the hotel.
Women were carried from the upper
floors by elevators and down the STAIR
way in fainting condition. Mothers
with infants in their arms CROPPED their
way through suttocating smoke. Men
dragged their trunks after them down
the stairways of the hotel, and clerks
in the ONCE hastily procured the valu-
ables of the guests from safes and
vaults and carried them to places of
greater safety.
The fire originated in a seven-story
brick structure, known as the O'Neill
building. There were a dozen or more
firms occupying ii. of which the larg-
est concern was the l.. Bauman Jew
elry Company. The losses suffered by
these concerns will reach $4,000 The
Linden Hotel was damaged by smoke
and water to the extent OF SIS, 900.

RECIPROCITY TALK RESUMED.
Beet Sugar Men Very Pronounced
in Opposition to Cuba.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The Cuban
reciprocity hearings were resumed to-
day before the Ways and Means Com
fhittee with delegations representing
the beet sugar industry of Colorado
and number of Cubans, representing
the planters of the island. in attend
ance.
F. X. Carey Of Colorado asserted that
concessions to Cuba would rebound to
the great advantage of the American
Sugar Refining Company.
Representative Hopkins of Illinois
questioned the witness as to whether
any concessions to Cuba would injure
the beet sugar industry.
Mr.. Carey said that injury in such
case was inevitable.
Representative Hopkins said Mr..
Oarey's assertion of injuhy to the beet
sugar industry was only an assump-
ton, and he expressed the belief that
a reduction could be made of a GER
tain percentage without destroying the
beet sugar industry.
Representatives Dalzell and Grosve-
nor took part in the discussion, stating
that the injury to the domestic pro-
ducers had been shown by this and
other witnesses. Mr.. Grosvenor said
that any one could see this result
who could put two and two together.
F. B. Machado and others of the del
egation of Cuban planters argued that
it was the natural duty of the United
States to look after the welfare OF
Cuba
Commissioner Degetau of Porto Rico
opposed the Cuban concession as like
ly to injure Porto Rican sugar exports.

SpoOner Measure Authorizes Pre.I-
dent to Make Choice of Route.
Washington. Jan. 2s.--Just before the
adjournment of the Senate to-day SEN
ator Spooner introduced a substitute
for the Nicaragua canal bill The new
bill is practical authorization to the
President of the United States to choose
between the Panama and the Mica
ragua routes. The first provision looks
to the acquisition of the franchises,
right-of-way and other property of the
new Panama Canal Company of
France, including that companys con-
troll of the Panama Railroad. The Pres
ident is authorized to pay $4,OOO,0O0 for
these, provided that a satisfactory
title can be obtained" The bill also
carries an alternative provision, au-
thorizing the President to proceed with
the construction of the Nicaragua canal
in case he fails to secure the neces-
sary concessions from Colombia or sat-
isfactory title from the Panama Canal
Company.
An immediate appropriation of $10,-
900, 900 is made in either event. The
limit of cost is fixed at s135, 000, 900 in
case the Panama route is chosen, while
S180, 600, 900 is allowed in case the choice
falls on the Nicaragua route.

THE ARGENTINEs OBJECTED.
They Oppose Centering the Interna-
tionaI Bureaus at Washington.

Mexico City, Jan. 2S.-The Pan
American conference to-day approved
the international sanitary measures.
The Argentine delegates refused to IA
vor the projects owing to their objec-
tons to sanctioning the creation of an
international sanitary bureau with
headquarters at Washington. They
have combatted the same idea in con-
nection with other proposed conven-
ticns.
The project for a Pan-American court
of claims underwent a considerable
modification in to-day's discussion. The
first article as approved, reads as fol-
lows:
article /. First Part-The high con-
tracing parties agree to submit to ar
bitration all claims for pecuniary loss
or the damage which may be presented
by their respective citizens and which
cannot be amicably adjsted through
diplomatic channels.
Second Part-Provided such claims
are of sufficient magnitude to warrant
the cost of arbitration"
No substantial changes were made in
the other articles. The conference this
evening finished it's real work.
The only thing 1t has still on hand
is the report of Gen. Reyes of Colombia
on the means of improving fiuvial COM
munication in South America.
On Friday afternoon will take place
the closing session of the conference,

Mr.. Teller said that private letter
had been received in Washington in
which an army officer was quoted as
saying, with respect to the establish
ment of concentration camps, IF this
thing is to continue / will have to
apologize to Weyler."
Another officer was quoted as add
ing: The time has come when 1 am
ready to apologize to him now"
Mr.. Teller, in response to a volley
OF questions, replied that he did not
know the name of the writer of che
letter, and would not mention it If he
dld know it. AS he was proceeding to
discuss the censorship Of press dis
patches sent from Manila he was in
terrupted by Mr.. Foraker, who quoted
from an interview with President Taft,
OF which he stated that there was no
censorship of press dispatches now.
Mr.. Teller was insisting that he had
good authority for the statemnt that
press dispatches were censored in Ma
Mia when he was interrupted by Mr.
Beveridge of Indiana, who said that
ne knew from personal observation
that the censorship had ben suspend
ed. Why, therefore, he said, should
Mr.. Teller persist in making his asser-
ton concerning censorship was not
clear.
Teller Rasps Beveridge.
Manifesting considerable irritation
Mr.. Teller said he would let the Sen
ate consider the 'impertinence' of
Mr.. Beverage in interrupting him for
question and then proceeding to lee
ture him. He said there had been
some rules of decency and courtesy
which had been recognized in the Sen
ate for twenty-five years.
This is the first time in my expert
ence," said he, that a senator has
gained the floor to ask a question and
then charge the senator who yielded
to him with being a liar"
Mr.. Beveridge promptly disclaimed
any intention of discourtesy.

was very discourteous," retorted Mr..

A NEGRO's UGLY DEED.

Fred Oliver, negro about 20 years
old, is In jail at Jefferson. charged
with having attempted criminal as
sault upon a young lady of about IS
years and member of one of the most
prominent families in Jackson county
The attempt was made Saturday night
about s o'clock. The intended victim,
with her little sister was returning
home from the house of a friend, To-
Gated just across the street from her
own home. When within a very short
distance of her door she was APP
preached by negro man who at
tempted to lay his hands upon her.
She screamed and broke away from
the negro's grasp. He fell, but got
UP and made a second attempt, his
grasp again being thrown off by the
girl, who then escaped to her home.
The negro was strongly under the In
fiuence of drink and twice fell to the
ground during the scuffle that ensued.
He also had a revolver, which was
dropped in the mud. The evidence
against Oliver is circumstancial. When
arrested his clothing was covered with
mud and a revolver found upon him
exactly fitted the imprint left by the
weapon dropped during the struggle.
There is much feeling against the me-
gro, but 1t is not likely that any vio-
lence will be attempted.

Great Britain's new issue of postage
stamps does not seem to be meeting
with the unqualified approval of the ISL
anders. One influential English news
paper goes so far as to say that they
are probably the ugliest in Europe"
but much of the animus of the criti-
cism may be traced to the fact that
the designing of the stamps was In
trusted TO Herr Fuchs, a Viennese art
list. The criticism is, however, not al
together unwarranted, If such denomi-
nations as have come through on the
Picayune's foreign mail are to be taken
as good samples of the whole issue. The
design Is commonplace and the artist
has not succeeded in giving a very fiat
tering likeness of Edward the Tactful.
The color of the green half-penny stamp
is fairly satisfactory. but that of the
red penny issue is thin and not at all
comparable with the rose-red of the
Victorian issue of twenty years ago. II
has wash-out appearance and looks
as II the officials had gone the limit
OF dimness in order to block the artis-
tic efforts of the washer" The en-
craving is poor. and while the printing
is about as good job as could be done
with the plates, the whole Is unsatls-
factory, both from an artistic and a
mechanical point of view. Compared
with some of the issues OF the colonies,
such as Newfoundland, Borneo, New
Zealand and the last Victorian issue OF
Canada, the best that can be said OF
the new stamps Is that they are COM
monplace. For the information OF the
stamp crank, IL may as well be men
toned that the full issue VIII comprise
seventeen stamps, Of which only four
denominations have thus far been is

MAURICE SULLIVAN PARDONED
No Action Taken I'm O'NeiIrs Case.
Other PardOns and Communications
Granted,

Atlanta, Jam. 2S.-Gov. Gambler to-
day pardoned Maurice T. Sullivan of
Chatham county, who was sentenced to
the penitentiary in 1896 for term of
fifteen years for voluntary manslaugh-
ter. Sullivan and Simon O'Neill were
sentenced together. No action has yet
been taken in O'Neills case. The prison
commission, in recommending the par
don, based it's action on the ground of
partial Justification. There was con-
siderable doubt about parts of the evil
dcnce, and it was made to appear to
the Commission that Sullivan and
O'Neil had acted in part at least, in
their own defense.
Joe Phelps of Randolph county, sem
fenced to life Imprisonment in 1884 for
murder, was pardoned. He was con-
vfcted when quite young, and is now
threatened with blindness.
Capt oliver of Dooley county, who
is serving a twenty years sentence
for voluntary manslaughter, having
been sent up in 1895, had ten years
taken off his sentence.
A. d. REVERE of DeKalb county was
pardoned also. He was sentenced to
life Imprisonment for murder, but was
pardoned because there were not wit
nesses to the killing and the man he
killed was never identified.
Harry Evans of Taliaferro county,
convicted of an attempted assault on
his sister, was pardoned because il
was shown he was entirely innocent.
