TERRIFIC THUNDER STORM.
Two Persons Killed by Lightning al
PittSburu,

Pittsburg, Pa, May 25.-A terrific
thunderstorm, accompanied by a high
wind, struck this section. and besides
killing two persons, did considerable
property damage.
Milton W. Robinson of West Pitts.
burg drove to Schenley Park with a
party of friends for an afternoon en-.
joyment. When the storm came uI
Robinson sought shelter from the
drenching rain under a big ash tree
in Panther hollow. He had been
there but a moment when lightning
struck the tree, literally tearing it tc
pieces and killing Robinson instantly
Robinson's four or five friends, who
were within twenty-five feet of him at
the time, escaped without even a
shock from the bolt.
John Wilson. aged fifteen, was
killed in a stable that was partially
destroyed by probably the same cur.
rent that struck Robinson.
Lightning struck a street car at
Braddock and caused a panic among
the passengers, some Of whom were
injured by jumping from the car.

PAssEs QUIET SUNDAY.
President Roosevelt Rests After Busy
Day on Ptjet Sound.

49,
Day on Pljet Sound.
Seattle. Wash. May 25.-Sunday
was spent very quietly by President
Roosevelt. In view of the fact that
the president always observes the Sab.
bath as he sees fit, the citizens of Seat
tie gave him full range to follow his
own inclinations, and Secretary Loeb
said the president appreciated this
Difference more than any public at
tention.
Saturday was one of the hardest
days that the president has had since
he started or his tour. He visited
the hayward at Bremarton, Seattle,
Everett and returned to Seattle again
in the evening. During the day he
made five addresses. Naturally the
strain told on the president, but when
he arose Sunday morning and appear
ed before the people at II O'Clock he
looked as though he were ready for
another day of activity. During the
morning President Roosevelt attended
the memorial services of the G. A. r.
at the Grand Opera House. There
vas a large gathering at the service
and all paid their respects to the presi-
dent. In the afternoon the president
and some of the members of his party
took a horseback ride.
1t is a noticeable fact that the secret
service officers accompanying the
president have been keeping a close
guard Constantly.

yoted their morning to Ralph
Waldo Emerson, the one hundredth
anniversary of whose birth occurred

The principal Emerson memorial
vas held in Symphony hall. After
