Pile of Ruins.
Port au Prince, Hayti, Aug. ia.

Goave Sunday and found that the
town had been entirely destroyed,
there being nothing left but pile of
ruins. About 1000 persons are home

sistance. The greater number of
them have sought shelter in the Sim
monds' factories, near the town. The
French cruiser D'Assas arrived at
Petit Goave Sunday with provisions
for the sufferers and returned to
Port au Prince with 200 women ana
children and Is wounded men. The
authorities refused to permit the
would go to other points to take up
arms again.
Each party accuses the other OF
having set fire to Petit Goave, but
the general belief is that Gen. Chi
coye, the Firminist commander, re
solved to destroy the town when he
saw that he could not hold it against
the Fouchardists.
\ Port au Prince dispatch on Sat
urday last gave news of the burning
of Petit Goave, after an attack had
been made on the place by Fouchard-
lists. According to that dispatch,
Gen. Chicoye, who is minister of the
interior in the Firminist provisional
governments, set fire to the town and
burned it.

Mrs. Catharine Quinn and

The life story of Luther Shear, who
by far is the greatest criminal of the
century, is one that reads like ro-
nance. Natural shrewdness and busi-
ness &bility, coupled with a pleasing
and almost irresistible personality
were the main factors Of his success
as q criminal. His talents were direct
ed into a crooked channel ut an early
age, and it is expected that he Will
die in Sing Sing without suffering any
compunctions OF conscience for the
widespread misery and ruin that his
criminal propensities wrought. In
brief, the following Is history OF the

Small Boys.

Small boys are looked upon by the
devil with some pride as one OF his
most successful inventions.
After careful consideration one is
forced to the conclusion that they
have not single good quality.
They are never thoroughly happy
unless they are killing either their
sisters favorite doll or their little
sister. They are only truthful when
drawing attention to the physical pc
culiarities of their fathers visitors.
They will not be affectionate unless
their hands and mouth are jammy
after tea and you have new suit on.
And they are so noisy that married
men who own one OF them can sleep
in the parrot house at the ZOO.
And when once the small boy is
here he stays. You may try what you
will to get rid OF him. Perch him
for the first time in his life on BIZ
cycle, and allow him to ride down the
steep hill without brake. and it will
be the good old lady crossing the road
who dies. Send him to the river with
little boat to sail. and it will be the
little boat that gets drowned. Place
a box of matches in his way, and it
will be the handsome Persian rug that
becomes ashes. The parents will al
ways be bafiled.
That is the average small boy Even
religious people have been known to
have one.
There is another sort who is always
quite good. He is much worse, and
fortunately, dies young.

They have great larks sometimes

Another joke they are fond Of is
hunting in couples.

They cry lot at first because they
want to ask who they are, and can't.
