SMOTHER A COUGH.

You can smother a cough
with your hand but you can't
cure it that way. Some medi-
cines only smother coughs.
SCOTS Emulsion cures them.
Old coughs and deep-rooted
coughs can't be cured until
the inflammation which causes
them has been replaced by
healthy tissue.
That is exactly the kind Of
thorough work SCOTS Emul-
sion does. It changes the
entire nature of the throat and
lungs so that there is nothing
to cough about.

Brief Description of the Island, It's
characteristics and Claims 10 Dis
ffn.afnn ,#

DA"
tinctiOn.
The Island of Martinique has the
same general characteristics as its
nearest neighbors. with some peculiari-
ties of It's own. The extreme length is
about forty-five miles from northwest
to southwest, and the main part of it
is in the shape Of an oval with rough
edges, its greatest width being sixteen
miles. At the lower end, the old Fort
Royal bay, since the French revolution
called Fort de France bay, cuts in so
deep as TO come within six miles OF
meeting che inlets of lie Robert and LIE
Franchise on the other side.
The whole area of the island, near 400
square miles, is mountainous. Besides
Mount Pelee, there are further south
and about midway of the oval, the
three crests of Courbe1, and all along
the great range are the black and rag
ged cor es of old volcanoes.
In the section south of the deep bay
there are two less elevated and more
irregular ridges, n running southeast
and terminating in the Piton VAUGHN,
and the other extending westward and
presenting to view on the coast Mounts
SaTalDe ana Constant.
The mountainous interior Is torn and
gashed with ancient earthquake up-
h~eavals, n there are perpendicular
cliffs, deep clefts and gorges. black
holes filled with water and swift tor
rents dashing over precipices and fall
ing into cavernsr-in a word, all the fan
tastic sayagery e9 volcanic scenery,
but the whole covered with the rich
verdure of the tropics
The total population OF the island
been reckoned at lis, 900, of whom TO-
900 are whites. $1,000 OF Asiatic origin
and 1901 600 blacks of all shades from
ebony to Ugh: octoroon.
Martinique has two interesting claims
to distinction, N that the Empress
Josephine was born there, as was Nine.
de Mainrenon. the latter passing her
girlhood on the island as FRANCHISE
d'Auhigne. At Fort de France there Is
a marble statue of the Empress Jose
phine.
Martinique became interesting to this
country during the recent war with
Spain. The first news of the arrival of
the Spanish feet Of Admiral Cervera
came from St. Pierre. At $3.50 in the
morning of May IL, 1898, the cruiser
Harvard arrived at st. Pierre, and at
6 o'clock the same evening a faithful
correspondent at Fort de France com
municated to the Harvard's commander
the fact that the Spanish torpedo boat
destroyer Furore had put into Fort de
France The destroyer turned out 20
be the Terror instead of the Furore,
but the important fact that Cervera
was on this side of the ocean was es-
tablished.

OF MAKING STRIKE PER-
MANENT.

Scranton, Pa, May II. - A general
strike of the miners Of the anthracite
region has been ordered for Monday
next, but the order has a reserve quail
fication attached. The question as to
whether the strike Is to be made per-
manent is left to the decision of a con-
vention OF delegates of ell the local or
CARNATIONS OF the mineworkers to be
held at Hazleton next Wednesday.
The miners executive committee or
three districts met yesterday morning
and had a three-f u session. At It's
conclusion President Mitchell gave out
the following statement:
Replies to our proposition to submit
the entire question in dispute TO an inn
partial hoard OF arbitration have been
received from President Baer of the
Philadelphia & Reading; Chairman
Thomas of the Erie; President Trues-
dale OF the Lackawanna, and President
ELEPHANT Of the Delaware & Hudson,
all of whom refuse TO join us in the adj
justment OF the differences between US
by the methods we propose"
Miners VIII obey Order.
In an incredibly chort space OF time
the news had spread by word of mouth
anu mSSSaSe al lHTouBH the NdiicS. a
thousand varying comments might be
heard from the miners as they learned
of the committees action. No one SEN
tence could cover the general sentiment.
There is not a particle OF question
but that the miners will religiously
obey the order and that On Monday
not as nue. as a shovelful OF coal will
be mined in the LackawanEa valley.
While the committee meeting was ON
yesterday afternoon, President Mitchell
was summoned to answer a long dis
tance telephone message. He was gone
for half an hour. Reports had Ii that
he was in communication with Senator
Hanna. He refused TO say whether or
not this was so. President Mitchell will
reach Hazleton Tuesday night. The
interim will be spent here.
