All the early fox hunting clubs had

PHILIPPINE VOLCANOES.
MayOn Is the Most Famous, and the
TaaI Comes Next.

MayOn Is the Most Famous, and the
TaaI Comes Next.
The most famous Philippine volcano
and one of the finest volcano cones in
the world is that of Mayon. Its height
is S,970 feet, and the volcano Is visible
at a great distance, Since 1766 records
have been kept of its eruptions. In
that year many plantations and vii
lagos were buried under a stream Of
lava which flowed down its eastern
slope. About 1900 lives were lost in
the eruption of 1914, which buried the
country around a part of the base of
Mayon under the outpourings of lava
and dust. A similar calamity In 1925
destroyed the lives of about 1900 per-
sons. In the nineteenth century there
were a number of severe eruptions, In
Guiding one in 1SS6-S7 which continued
about nine months. An eruption in
1897 killed $50 persons and destroyed
much property. Twenty-Five violent
eruptions of this volcano are on record.
Next to Mayon the Taal volcano is
the most remarkable. 1t Is on an is-
land in the lake Of Bombon, and the is
land built up by its outpourings, has
an area of 900 square miles. The vol
cano is necessarily ejecting dust and
vapor from its crater. Taal, as well as
Mayon, has been the center Of numer-
Gus destructive earthquakes, but no
very great eruption has occurred since
1864, when four villages around the
mountain were completely destroyed

Civilization.


BY ELIZABETH n. BARR.
Undisturbed and unmolested
Long the forest bowers stood,
And with din of ceaseless chatter
Lived the dwellers of the wood.
And the seasons passed unnoted,
Only marked by simple signs
OF the golden rod in autumn
And in spring the jessamines.
But one day the dark recesses
Were pierced through with hunters
shout,
And with conquest in it's accent
Loud the woodman's axe rang out;
Twas the herald Of progression
Which that autumn morn was heard,
But each echo was death-knell
In the heart of beast and bird.
Now again is autumn waning,
But the forest songs are dead,
Save the whistle Of the west-wind
Through the maple boughs of red.
And the acorns all unheeded
Rattle to their leafy bed,
For the forest is forsaken
And the woodland folk have fed.

APPALLING ACCIDENT.
Little John Merryday the Vie
tim of Gun Accidentally
Discharged in Hands
of Albert MarVick,

Little nine year old John Merryday,
son of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Merry day,
is dead as the result of the careless
handling of a gun In the hands of Albert
Marvick.
The accident occurred little after 2
O'Clock last Friday afternoon in front Of
the residence of A. G.. Phillips on South
Sixth street. Young Marvick was max
ing preparations to go bird shooting and
at the time of the accident was eXamin-
ing his gun. This little boy, with others,
was standing near, when from some un-
accountable cause, the gun was dis
charged, the contents entering the stom-
ach of the little victim. He was dead In
less than ten minutes.
At the time of the accident, Mrs. Mer-
ryday, whose home is on the other end
Of the same block, was standing on her
front porch. She heard the report and
hastened to see what was the matter
only to find that her own little boy was
dying. She had placed his head in her
lap and thus he expired.
In the meantime Mr.. Merryday had
been summoned, and when he arriv, d
the end had come.
News of the accident quickly spread to
all parts Of the city and grief was uni
versal, for Joln Merryday was bright
little fellow and prime favorite with
all who knew him.
Sympathy is divided between the par
ents and young Marvick, whose grief,
when he realizel fully what had oc-
Cured, was SO overpowering as to drive
him to the verge of insanity. He did
collapse and for several days has been
confined to his bed, part of the time un-
conscious. There has been no judicial
inquiry for the reason that it is univ r
sally conceded that this death was the
result of one Of those seemingly unac-
countable accidents, which, no matter
how carefully we may guard against
them, are bound to occur.
The funeral Of the little boy occurred
from St. James NJ. E. Church Sunday
afternoon, and all the Sunday schools of
the city were dismissed to allow the
children opportunity to attend. The
nhurnh WAC nrowad tO tho doors and
there was scarcely standing room. Rev.
Mr.. Woodward conducted the service.
The interment was in West View Gem
etery.

And Still They Come.

Walter P. Watson Of Orlando is the
latest announced Candidate for nomina-
tion to congress from the Second Dis
trict. He is an unknown political guam
tity and rests his democracy on the fact
that he was delegate to the last state
democratic convention. Watson is
member of the general committee of ad-
iustment of the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Engineers for the s. A. l.. Rail-
way system and chairman of the local
grievance committee, and for this rea-
son expects large labor vote. His
platform reads about like the average
pronunciamento of the politically ana
bitions and Is as full of meaningless
platitudes as an egg is full of meat. He
may be most excellent man but with
out other knowledge Of him than is to be
gained from his platform, it is the judge
ment of this paper that he will not cut
much of a figure in the coming pri-
maries.

There was a Scottish shepherd. whose

work was quite neglected-the sheep
were not looked after at all. The man.

pup was missing. The shepherd said
to his collie. pointing to the bucket:
