Death, Desoiation and Destruc-
ton.

/ g.
Captain Barkhouse, of the schooner,
Exception, who was in Kingston the
day after La Soufriere became active,
has arrived in New York. He tells Of
the horrors Of the eruption, Of the aw
full deaths, the DISSOLUTION, and the in
tense sufferipgs of the unfortunate
victims who were not granted speedy
death. The scenes he witnessed are
told in these vivid pictures:
"We hurried on. through Georgetown
to the country beyond, where most of
the inhabitants had persisted. The
FIRST place we got to was the overseer's
house in Langley Park, where thirty
seven bodies had been found. They
had already been buried, but as many
dead animals, the working stock of the
estate, lay scattered about, the stencil
was unbearable.
sat every step we encountered fresh
scenes of horror, and when we reached
the ruined works of Waterloo band
of men who had been at work from the
early morning were dragging the last
corpse to the trench in which eighty
seven bodies had been buried.
"There was only one way in which
their gruesome work could be perform
ed. One of the men, having first tied
a handkerchief saturated With carbolic
acid over his face, leaving only his
eyes uncovered, would rush into the
ruins and slip moose around the an
kle of one of the corpses; then the
other men would drag the body by a
long rope to the trench into which it
was bundled and rapidly covered over.
Fortunately the loose nature of the
dust made the digging of the trenches
easy work.
"lf the scenes of desolation and
death outside of Georgetown were ap-
palling, that of anguish and suffering
in the hospitals was heart-rending.
Lying on the ground, close together,
was mass of suffering human beings,
writhing and moaning. Now and
again wall would be heard of % God
Help U.s. 30, Lord, Deliver U.s. then
would arise, in agonizing tones, the
narrowing chant, %, God, Help Us, 80
Lord, Deliver U.s.
"Many of these poor wretches, mad
with pain, would try to rise on their
mutilated hands and feet, and as they
tumbled about they fell over others,
who shrieked with agony when their
burned limbs were touched.
"Every quarter of an hour the death
cart would pass, for there was sure to
be some victim for the trenches out
side of the town.

How Baseballs Are Made.

The opening of the baseball season
calls attention to the fact, not general
ly known, that Cincinnati supplies
practically the entire middle west with
baseballs, and that something like 125
people earn living in the baseball
factories of the city. The process Of
making baseballs on a wholesale plan
is rather interesting one, consuming
in a single season something like 5000
skins. The scrappings from the shoe
factories, of which the "raw" balls are
moulded, are stored in the cellars of
about one acre area, and from this ma
terial the balls are shaped by hand.
According to quality the ball is bound
by few or several dozen rounds of
cord, The "raw" balls are placed in
automatic molds, shaping the ball and
at the same time pressing out all
moisture to the tune of 300 gross a
day, One employe will shape as
many as 1900 of the raw balls in sin
gle WORKING Gay.
The newly pressed balls are then
sorted and allowed to dry out for pc
riod of from three to four weeks, when
their weight is reduced perhaps five
ounces. Something like 200 of these
twine bound leather balls can be found
in the bins at all times. In the mean
time the skin covers for the balls have
been seasoned and dressed on the floor
below, and, as a last stage in the pro-
cess rubbed back and forth against an
upright blade to take out all the kinks
in the skins and also whiten them.
The covers are cut from the skins by
hand and sewn around the balls by
women. They are then boxed and Ia
beled, according to the different
grades and put on the market.-Cin-
cinn0ti Enquirer.

Our University for Negroes.

The Tougaloo News states that "the
enrolment of Tougaloo University for
the present year has been 513, a larger
number than ever before. Of these
about 240 have been boarders. Not,
withstanding the fact that Tougaloo is
in the country, it's day school is very
large, doing work of great value for
all the neighborhood.
sit is expected that next year there
will be some arrangements and adjust
ments in the industrial work, making
it more efficient. Masonry will be
added to the industries taught, and
arrangements have been made with
Mr. Fisher, the popular and successful
baker, to give instructions twice a
week to those desiring to make the
bakery business specially. Good ba
kers, competent and of good and steady
character, are greatly in demand, and
command large wages. 1t is hoped
these two new lines may prove at
tractive to many young men. From
the bread and butter point of view
they are of great value".

Laborers on the Water and
Light Plant Strike.

HAzLEHuRsT, Miss, June 12.-Work
was begun here yesterday by Contrac-

tric light plant. This morning, howev-
err, all of the day laborers struck for

standstill. Workmen demand $3.50 a
day.
The labor question is becoming a Sc
rious matter in this section of the
country There is SO much public
work being done that it is almost i'm
possible to secure farm laborers.
Many farmers are offering 81 day for
field hands, and are unable to get Ia
Dor at that price.

Clubs and Liquid Refreshments


Circuit Court is in session at Jack
son. Mondays Picayune Bureau has
the following: "The cases of most in
terest which will come up at this term
of the Circuit Court will be the cases
of the social clubs Judge Powell will
be asked to pass on the question
whether it is lawful for the social clubs
to dispense liquid refreshments to
their members. The clubs were in
dicted at the last sitting of the Grand
Jury, and these cases will doubtless be
called for trial. Besides these indict-
ments, there are number of club
cases appealed from the justices
courts which will be docketed for con-
sideration by Judge Powell. 1t is
probable that only one of these cases
will be passed upon, and the same
made a test case on which the ques,
ton will be taken to the Supreme
