THE LATEST DETAILS
Side of the Mountain Seemed to
Fall in,
Show About One Hundred People TO
Have Been Killed.

Vancouver, B. u, May las the
result of the unexpected disaster In
the little mining town of Frank, AL
berta, N. W. t., over 100 lives have
been lost, and further details may in
crease the number of the dead. About
4 O'Clock yesterday morning, after the
night shift was preparing to come
from work, either an earthquake or a
volcanic eruption occurred on tina top
of Turtle mountain, which overlooks
the town OF Frank. There was tire
menduos upheaval, which awoke oil
sleepers, who believed that the end of
the world had come. The entire side
Of the mountain was removed by the
disturbance and millions of tons Of
rock scattered like chat over the town
The mine buildings and mine entranc-
es were buried under pile Of debris
hundreds OF feet deep. Nine houses
in the village are buried under the
rock. Their roofs we've crushed in like
egg shells and everyone inside the
houses persisted.
All the men working at the mine on
outside Jobs were instantly killed, al
though the exact number is not known.
The records Of the office and payroll
are buried under the immense pile Of
broken rock. The men working in
the shaft probably numbered twenty
eight or thirty. These were at first
thought to have been hopelessly i'm
prisoued, but later reports indicate
that they all got out alive.
When reports concerning the mag
nitude Of the disaster and details CON
cerning it began to come in from trust
worthy men, IL transpired that the
earth had opened for throo-q u.rtcrs Of
a mile in length and for many feet in
width. and the whole northern face OF
Turtle mountain had slipped from its
place.
At dusk yesterday the rock was still
falling on the town from Turtle noun
tain, and il was dangerous 10 venture
within half mile Of the mine work
ings. At O'Clock yesterday afternoon
the following conservative estimate Of
the loss Of life was made:
Men, women and children killed In
their beds. SO.
Miners working outside the mines
and instantly killed, 10.
The latest theory as to the cause of
the disaster is that IL was due to
rockslide, which carried the top Of
Turtle mountain down on the village.
1t is now thought that what was sup.
posed to be the smoke Of volcano
was dust, and that the continued fall
Of small bits OF rock during the day
was merely the aftermath of the origi-
nal rockslide. A repetition Of the Ca
lamity is now considered unlikely.

The rumor that President Roosevelt
would visit France this summer was
somewhat premature. While there is
no constitutional inhibition against
the president leaving the territory of
the United States during his term Of
office, it is an unwritten law that he
shall not do so without the consent of
congress. In this instance, the CON-
sent of congress has not been and can
not be obtained

The court of appeals OF the state OF
New York has by unanimous opin-
ion just declared to be constitutional
a law in regard to taxing franchises
that was passed when Roosevelt was
governor of New York and its passage
was very largely due to his enthusiast
tic support. It can almost be said
that it was this law that made Mr..
Roosevelt president, for the hostility
that the law met with from the great
corporations accounted for the trench
dous and yet mysterious pressure from
his own state which, backed by the
imperious demands of the western del
egstes, csnsed Roosevelt to accept the
second place on the Republican ticket
in 1900. The enemies of the young
governor hoped that his nomination
for the vice presidency would remove
him from active politics for at least
four years.

The Honeymoon.

It is said by some authorities that
the honeymoon, or month after mar
rage, takes it's sweet sounding title
from practice of the ancient Teutons
who drank honey wine (hydromeD for
thirty days after wedding.
A far more simple and direct deriva-
ton is found in associations common
to many times and people. The words
month and moon have come to us from
one source, the Anglo-SaXOn mona,
which is formed from an old root, ma,
to measure The moon thus measures
time, and Dryden links it with it's
kindred month when he speaks of zone
revolving MOON" Honey is an obvious
equivalent for anything enjoyable and
sweet, and Shakespeare attaches it
closely to the tender passion when he
says, "honeying and making love-"
Anthony Trollope has used honey
moon as q verb--"Some decent sort of
body to honeymoon along with me"
and in an old volume of the London
Taller there is an interesting sentence
which clinches the connection between
moon and month"; Sometimes the par
ties fly asunder even in the midst of
courtship and sometimes grow cool in
the very honey MONTH

New Stars.

It is suggested by Louis Rabourdin, a
French writer, that in each of the new
stars that blaze forth in the heavens
from time to time we see the destruc-
ton of celestial body by volcanic
cataclysm. At any rate, he says, if
part of the earths crust underlying the
ocean should give way our earth would
doubtless present in succession to a
distant observer the same series of ap-
pearances that we witness in the case
Of "nova," or new stars. First there
would be an outburst of blazing hydro
gen from the sea water decomposed
by the earth's internal heat, then FL
sion of the whole crust, reducing the
globe again to a molten state, and then
the gradual extinction of it's light ow-
ing to cooling. AS cooling would first
take place locally, we should have a
variable star, the darkened portions
being periodically brought into view
by the rotation of the globe.-Success.

A Compliment to the Enemy.

Chattanooga creek was the dividing
line between the outposts Of the Fed
eral and Confederate armies, and dur
ing lull in hostilities the pickets Of
both cultivated one another's acquaint-
ance, having agreed not to fire on one
another. One day when the captain Of
the Union guard saw General Grant,
with his staff, approaching he said to
his men, Turn out the guard for the
commanding general The Confeder-
ates on the other side of the creek, not
more than fifty feet away, heard the
order, and their captain, conceiving the
idea of paying compliment to the en-
envy, shouted, Turn out the guard for
the commanding general Of the Federal
army" The Confederate pickets stood
at attention for several moments and
then saluted Grant as he rode away.

The Paris CAfe.


The Paris restaurant reflects the con-
sentative views Of the Frenchman. The
Partisan loves to sit on cushioned
benches along the wall and as like as
not enter into talk with his neighbor.
Again, the Partisan is true democrat.
Whatever his rank, he is willing to join
in the fun going forward. I remember
one night in the Cafe de Paris seeing a
Hungarian prince with a rent roll of
scores of thousands stalk up to band
of his countrymen and take the first
violin from the hands of the leader
The next minute a score Of well known
people were gathered before him. A
count sang love song; a ballet dancer
from the opera obliged us with a re-
markable fandango; a sugar reiner
gave us a comic patter. Nobody cared
who his neighbor CHANGED to be. It was
good fun. That was sufficient.
Imagine a duke and an earl and a
rich merchant amusing the supper
crowd at the Carlton or the Savoy!
Decidedly they do these things better
in France.-Paris Letter in London Ex-
press.

Telling of the Baby.

When a. Dutch baby makes its arriv-
al, the fact is announced by man
wearing black coat and a white tie
who is hired by the little ones parents
to go round to all their friends with
packets Of sweets, which are appropri-
ately decorated with picture of ba-
by and an angel. The CONNECTION is
made of aniseed and sugar. Rough
sweets signify the birth Of boy,
smooth sweets that Of girl. The chill
dren of the families to whom they. are
sent eat the sweets spread upon their
bread and butter. In the eighteenth
century the birth of a child was an
nounced by tying a pincushion deco
rated with lace and ribbons to the door
knocker of the parents house.

fifty cent size Of their celebrated specific
for the cure of constipation and dys-

So great Is the demand for this spe1i-
tic, that Wilson Bros. nave been able to
secure only limited supply, and every
one who is troubled with dyspepsia. con.
