Edward Bush, presumably suffering
! from ovcr-exertion at jubilating on the
| glorious 18th, did some swearing on Sun
day in front of Philip Dorsey's place,
! Taylor street.
! Monday afternoon he came along the
same thoroughfare and was called to ac-
count for Sunday dissertation by Miss
Fannie Arnold.
Bush resented this as an interference
with the Emancipation Proclamation
and stated that, being on nobody's
premises, he would say what he pleased
Miss Arnold took care of her own side
of the debate with such force that Bush
very ungallantly struck at her and LATER
picked up ii stone with which he pro-
posed to smash the lady and demolish
the premises.
In this fell design, however, he was
happily foiled by Dorsv ".
During the evening Bush was brought
before justice Chambers. who after hear
ing some amusing testimony, assessed
illt utuu lll't'it ny bttSH III tilc ItdCt anu
good order of the town at $40 and costs,
about 30 hours credit; altcrnative-jail
one day for each hour.
All the parties concerned except the
constable and justice are colored; all
much panied by the occurrence, and all
losers-same exceptions.

The result was most satisfactory.

And when apparently in doubt con

to pull the ring masters ear down to his

At the close of the meeting Mr.. George

! Mr.. Moore with well-flcd purse and the
following letter of goodwill:

Severe Loss" in the Philippines.

There is little enough in war tn laugh
1T but we can conceive the amused
smile on the face Of the veterans NJ tnr
civil War uG hoy read in the Philippine
dispatches of The severe loss" which
attended the capture Of that Moro fort.
a week ago, BY General Davis and h.a
men. 1t was a heroic piece of business.
for tic odis were great ana tkc enemy
well intr"nchcd, and the conduct Of our
soldiers was worthy The best traditions
Of the army. But what Of the loss
The dispatch opened in ominOus fash
ion. Said General Davis, at is my
painful duty to report that the over
throw of Moro power was not accom-
plished without severe loss" This
sounds like a warning to prepare the
government and public for narrowing
account of slaughter, with The i'll
trcnchcd enemy moving down hun
dreds, if not thousands Of Americans.
Here are the CORY details: zone officer
and seven enlisted men were killed, and
four officers and 80 enlisted men
wounded"
Of course this was bad enough. Every
soldiers life is precious, and every loss,
however small, is much to be deplored.
But, as wars and battles 90, q loss of
eight killed and 81 wounded is Il com
paratively trining affair. IN real war,
such as this country knew when our
fathers were soldiers, such an affair
would be 4 skirmish hardly worth men
tioning in the dispatches from the front.
And yet it is the most important en-
"a cement that has been reported from
the Philippines for many, many months.
II shows to what small proportions the
insurrection against American author
ity has shrunk. In the Civil War and
IN every real war Of the past there were
many battles in which the loss on. either
side was many times larger than the
total American loss in the Philippines
from wounds and disease in the past
four years. That the loss in capturing
the Moro fort is termed severe" shows
the humanitarian spirit of our times
May such spirit continue and the losse s
IN battle become smaller ana smaller as
the years go by.

The Destruction of ST. Pierre.

How many readers skim over the
sion of the vastness of that calamity
in the West Indies. II is not in our

we stop to consider that a city larger

large as Portland. lG.@ been blotted

extent of the visitation and the terrible
suffering ana luar involved. If Ameri-

much has been written. was only a
country village in comparison with St
Pierre. only a few times in all re-
corded history has there been such loss
of life and property by volcanic
agency. The full details will be
anxiously awaited.
st. Pierre is. or, perhaps we should
say was, the leading sea port of Mar
Unique. This island which was dis
covered by Columbus in 1902, is
French possession and is one of the
lesser Antilles. 1t is a mountainous
island of about 400 miles area. or about
half the size of kennebec county. The
chief product is sugar. The population
is about 20o,0oo. the greater part of
whom are negroes and half-castes. Mt.
Pelee. whose eruption destroyed st.
Pierre, has been regarded as an extinct
volcano. Its altitude is given as ALSO

variously given from $4,000 to 10000.

all perished and probably thousands of
others in the surrounding section.

Paul Leicester Ford.


1t was with Il great shock that the
world learned of the tragic death OF
that brilliant and popular young writer
Paul Leicester Ford. 1t seemed 50 ter
rfble that mis- life should be taken by
the hand Of his brother, Malcolm Ford,
who as 7 champion athlete and a writer
on athletic subjects, had won u fame
but little less wide, even though much
less enduring, than his own. The story
of the tragedy had no new elements in
if: one brother left with wealth, the
other disinherited; demand for
money and refusal; quick temper and
a quarrel; murder and suicide. Such
is the substance of the dispatches from
that beautiful and happy New York
home to which the author took his
bride, a year ago. What an unspeak-
able pity the "Finis' should be written
in blood, and that, too, before the book
was completed.
1t is a grim coincidence that three of
our leading American authors should
die within few days Of each other.
But unlike Stockton and Harte, Paul
Leicester Ford was a young man. He
had hardly attained the prime of life.
and seemingly many years rich with
promise stretched before him. Frank
r. Stocktons age was 6S. that of Bret
Harte was 63, while Ford was only 81
That Ford was one of the most popular
and successful noVelists of the day
need hardly be said. Few novels have
been more widely read than Peter
Stirling and Janice Meredith OF
his permanent place in American liter
aturc it is rash at this time to speak
But we cannot believe that Peter Stir
ling" with its strong ana inspiring cen
traI character. will be forgotten; MOI
that The Story of an Untold Love,
one Of the daintest, sweetest prettiest
love stories ever penned, will soor
cease to appeal to the heart. Janice
Meredith" most popular of his works
also the most criticized, WAS one Of the
first Of the school of American histori-
cal fiction now having such Il run. 1t
had many charms and much to COM
mend it as Il literary work, but the
weakness in the dclineation of the
heroine was apparent even to those
who most enjoyed the story. 1t was ~
ambitious novel, but we have faith thai
in the maturity of his powers the au-
thor would have written a stronger anC
more enduring one. THE Great X. &
A. Train Robbery is a clever story o
Western adventure, and "Tattle Tales
OF Cupid" arc breezy and entertaining
sketches. Along lives purely histori-
cal ana biographical he had also done
notable work.
Physically deformed and never
healthy or robust, he had many obsta-
cIcs to overcome and his patience anC
persistence won him success where
most would have failed. What works
he had in preparation at the time Of his
death. we do not know, but it is safe tc
assume that he was busy and had
much planned out to DO. His untimcly
death is Il national loss and a blow tc
our literature.
