Earth Shook In New England.

Boston, March 21.-An earthquake
this morning caused a tremor throughout
the entire eastern section of New Eng
land. Beginning at st. John, N. B., the
seismic vibrations traversed the State of
Maine, causing some slight damage to
buildings in Augusta, Bangor and Port
land. The shock was felt plainly as far
south as Taunton, in this State. Reports
from Manchester, N. H., and Springfield,
Mass, state that the vibrations were felt
distinctly in those two cities. at Au-
gusta, Me-, lamp chimneys were broken
and crockery was smashed. The vibra-
tions lasted several seconds, and in nearly
every instance occurred about minutes
after O'Clock.

whose young life was out down because
OF the excessive use of cigarettes, ID. A
Mulkey, Of the Mills mill village, uttered
O warning yesterday which should be
hooded by every victim OF the weed
Vefdes Mulkey, twenty-five years old
was literally killed by nicotine.
With tears streaming down his cheeks,
the father told of the harm that bad
but to warn Others against the habit
which Is pernicions aud dangerous.
Mother, sisters and the wife Of young
Mulkey, were there to bear painful evi-
dence of the poison that had creps into
the blood.
Mulkey had been smoking ever since
he was old enough to roll cigarette.
As he advanced In years the evil had him
more completely In its grasp and try
as he might, he could not resist. he
was never without that pinch Of tobacco
esteemed in the. village and his friends
who had his welfare at heart did what
they could TO persuade him to stop. but
he was powerless to resist. He simply
smoked himself to death.
Eyerypart of his system was permeated
with the poison of the nicotine. Re
Gently q small pimple appeared on his
lip. Not much was thought of it at the
time, and on q person not addicted to the
use of tobacco, 1t would have been
quickly cured, but the poison got in its
work, spread to all parts Of the young
mans body and left a mass of sores,
which caused tho most intense agony.
Death was aglorious relief for his suffer.
ing. Mulkey collapsed rapidly. His
system could not stand the strain, and
through his veins there ran the blood
that was heavy with nicotine. His mind
was tortured.
"I hope this sad case will be a warning
to other young men in this village and
elsewhere" said Mr., Mulkey last night
''My boy had good impulses, but lie was
fiend to the cigarette and he could not
save himself. No mortal man can know
how he suffered. That poison got into
his blood and when that first pimple
appeared on his lip it was the beginning
of the end. One can imagine what it
meant after viewing the progress of the
disease. 1t is indeed q tragic example,
but l only hope that 1t will save Others"
Mr.. Mulkey left wife, father, mother,
sisters and brothers. His funeral took
place at w WClcome Church Tuesday after
noon at 8 o'clock.-Greenville News.
Mr.. and Mrs. d. A. Mulkey, parents
Of the deceased, are remembered in Wal
halla by many, they having been resi-
dents of this place for number of
years. The young man whose death is
thus sadly chronicled lived here with his
parents until about 10 or IL years of age.
His death will bring sorrow TO friends
and relatives in this county.
