Adjutant General Corbin received the fol-
lowing message yesterday from Captain
Crabbs in regard to conditions in Marti-
niQue:
FORT DE FRANCE. May 90. 49,.
"Adjutant General, Washington:
Report of present distress here exagger-
ated. Devastated district lies north of line
drawn from La Trinite to Carbet with CEN
ter st. Pierre, which is completely de-
stroyed. No relief necessary; inhabitants
of latter place all killed, but our supplies
at present in port will relieve all suffering
for next two or three weeks.
''All department supplies from San Juan
landed and turned over to governor today,
with the exception of about 1,e00 suits of
clothing delivered to Captain English's ship
interchangeable. for relief of sufferers of St
Vincent. Authentic reports from latter
place indicate greater immediate distress
there than here. Violent volcanic disturb
ance still continues here, but it is thought
the local authorities will have relief well
in hand within next month. Leave to-
morrow for San Juan.

The Count de Rochambeau.
The Count de- Roehambeau is an affable
young man, rather tall. with dark hair and
mustache. He cannot speak English, but
expresses in his native tongue the most ap-
precative sentiments regarding the United
States and the Americans.
This is my first visit to the United
States" he said when interviewed on his
arrival, but / really feel ais though l had
been here before. because my father was
an ardent admirer of your country. You
may recall the fact that he was here as a
commissioner from France at the centen-
NAL exposition in 1916 and at the Yorktown
celebration In 1881.
Il recall my fathers vivid descriptions
of the receptions given him on those occa-
sions and the courtesies shown him every

CANNOT COME.
Cardinal Gibbons Unable to Attend the
Ceremonies Saturday

The French embassy has been notified by
Cardinal Gibbons that he will not be able
to attend the dedication Of the Rochambeau
statue Saturday morning. as he had in
tended. His absence has necessitated n
change in the program Of exercises. by
which the invocation will be delivered by
Rev. DR.. D. J. Stafford, rector of St Pat
rick's Church, instead of by Cardinal Glib
bons, as originally intended.
Cardinal Gibbons will, however, attend the
dinner at the French embassy Friday even
ing in honor of the members Of the French
mission, and may also attend the mass a;
st. Patriek's Church Sunday morning and
deliver short address On that occasion
The French mission will attend this ser
vice. but in a purely private capacity as
good Christians, and it is therefore not q
part of the official program. Rev. DR.. Mag.
MEN, superior of st. Mary's Seminary, Bal
timore, will be the celebrant Of the mass
on that occasion.

LEASING INDIAN LANDS.
Much Larger Amounts to Be PAID
Than Last Year.

AS the result of a change in the system
of leasing grazing lands in the Kiowa and
Comanche Indian reservation in Oklahoma
the Secretary of the Interior has awarded
contracts for leasing lands for three years
aggregating $119.409 per annum. as against
S3s.36S received for the same lands last
year, under the old system. The total
amount Of pasturage for which bids were
invited is $4,000 acres, but one pasture Of
approximately upward of 1900 acres was
not awarded, owing to the withdrawal OF
an Informal bid. This portion will be in
formally leased by the agent later. with a
minimum price of % cents an acre. Those
who secured the contracts are mostly cat
temen from Oklahoma and Texas.

Fuel Values.

At the wells crude oil can be had, say,
for about 9 cents a gallon. At distant
points it comes from 3 cents a gallon up.
If you can buy it at cents this is equiva-
lent to paying about $50 a ton for first
class soft coal. 1t is on the average har-
der to secure complete combustion of oil
than of coal, and in practice there is apt
to be more waste of the liquid than the
solid fuel. The Navy Department ex-
periments have shown that coal at Eas-
tern prices is more economical than oil
would be even at . cents gallon. Where
coal is costly, however, and oil is cheap,
the latter may be the less costly fuel.
Oil stoves, burning retlped oil are cost
ly in operation, in proportion to the
amount of heat, though they are econo-
mical where not much heat is required.
A pound of coal is geneIa ally called the
equivalent of two to two and half pounds
of dry wood for heating purposes. But
cord of hickory wood weighs nearly
4, 500 pounds, while a cord of white pine
weighs only 900, maple 1900 and oak
$500. All dry wood has the same fuel
value to the pound, but hickory is worth
more than twice as much as pine. ton
of coal is worth in heating value about
two and half times as much as cord Of
white pine, or one and one-third times
as much as oak.

The Ola Almanac.

Almanacs were in use long before the
art of printing was discovered, but since
the advent Of the movable types and the
printing press, their number and varle'
ties have become legion. Millions upon
millions of them are printed annually, and
most of them for free distribution. Each
year they are made more attractive and
published in greater numbers. The calen.
dar, an innovation of recent years, was
popular for time, but it could not sup
plant that old friend of earlier days-the
Almanac-with its astronomical calcula
tions and it's more or less accurate wea.
Their predictions.
While the Almanac Of to-day is issued
primarily for advertising purposes, they
must of nece ssity contain interesting mat
ter and be made attractive in every way
possible, else they would not be read, and
the money invested would be money
wasted. Chas. H. Fletcher's New York
Almanc has ever been one of the fore.
most in attractiveness, and the 1908 edi
ton is no exception. 1t has a handsome
Autographed cover that almost says
''Take me home with you" 1t contains
the usual number of jokes, much valuable
information relative to the care of infants,
record page in blank for baby's early
days, and problems that will help to pass
away many long evening. Here is one:
A child asked her father how old he was,
and the father replied, Il am just six times
as old as your are, but in twenty-four
years you will be onebalf as old as L.
What were their ages ?"
We understand that this Almanac may
be had for the ask ing, either at drug store
or dect from Charles H. Fletcher, New
York City.
