FIERCE RACE RIOT.
Mob I'm Springfield, o., Negro Quar-
ter Dispersed by Militia.

Mob I'm Springfield, o., Negro Quar-
ter Dispersed by Militia.
A white mob of several thousand
men attacked the negro quarter of
Springfield. O., known as .the jung
les" Tuesday night and state troops
had to be called out to quell the riot
ing. The outbreak was the result OF
attacks on two white men, Martin
Davis and Earl Sulkins, by Preston
Ladd and Edward Dean, negroes.
For several hours, until after mid
night, the negro section was in a
state of terror, the police being pow
erless. The local militia was called
out by the mayor, but was slow to re-
spond.
AT midnight, however, eighty men
assembled at the armory and were sent
out to reinforce the police. The eighty
militiamen and the police, however,
were unable to handle the mob, and it
was not until the arrival of two com
panies from Dayton and one from
Xenia soon after midnight that the
mob could be handled. Then, with the
Butts of their rifles and without firing
a shot the soldiers pushed the mob
back both ways in Columbia street,
east from Water street and west from
Foster street.
When dawn came quiet had been re-
stored in the negro section, with the
Jungles" still in charge of the militia.
No lives were lost in the riot. The re-
suit of the mob was the destruction of
six negro houses, one saloon and the
damaging of several others.
1.-THE Jungles" is the name given to
East Columbia street, where a number
of notorious dives frequented by ne
groes and low whites are located. Six
or seven of these joints were wiped out
by the mob with the torch. The most
infamous place was literally torn to
pieces and burned half down by the
rioters

PELEE SHOOTS OUT FIRE.
Volcano in Martinique Again i'm
violent ERUPTION.

violent Eruption.
A Barbados dispatch says that Mont
Pelee, in Martinique, is again active, and
the inhabitants of the island are in ter
Tor of a recurrence of the great erup-
tions of four years ago. Five persons
are in the hospital in Fort de France
who were struck by falling rocks thrown
up by the volcano. BY day a column of
heavy black smoke several miles high
rising from the crater was visible thirty
miles away, and at night the flames could
be plainly seen at a greater distance.
The town of st. Pierre, island of Mar
Unique. was destroyed by the eruption of
Mont Pelee, May 8, 1902, with the loss
of 25,000 lives. This was the greatest
disaster of modern times. Only one man,
who was confined in dungeon, and a
few persons on the seashore on the out
skirts Of the town survived the catastro-
phe.
In 1902, as in the present year, the
seismic disturbances had continued for
several weeks before Mont Pelee showed
signs of activity. Then, on May D. it
suddenly burst into violence, pouring out
great quantities Of lava and smoke lay
anu ulSuls ol44I NANlC was AllNlG ti4SAA LIZ
as the people of St Pierre had become
accustomed to the activity of the volcano.
At 8 o'clock in the morning of May 8,
after the volcano had been Quiescent for
nearly eighteen hours, there was an ex-
plosion within Mont Pelee which from
new vent on the side of the crater forced
a great blast of fame down the side of
the mountain, over the city of Mont Pc
lee and far out over the harbor.
That fearful blast of flare brought
death to the inhabitants of st. Pierre.
The town itself was destroyed and the
flame even destroyed the shipping in the
harbor, one steamer alone being able to
escape half burned.
All this fearful destruction of life and
property came in an instant, and in an
instant it was over. One breath of flame
wiped out the city and people. Then for
days Mont Pelee poured a sea of lava
and mud down the side of the mountain,
burying the destroyed city, so that to-day
only traces of it may be seen.
The eruption of Soufriere. the island of
st. Vincent volcano, occurred at the same
time. Half the island was devastated by
floods of burning lava. Plantations were
wiped out and small towns DESTROYED.
The city of Georgetown itself escaped Sc
rious injury.

Our Trade with China Gone.

r. p. Schwerin, vice president of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company. who
has gone to Washington to testify con-
corning the Chinese exclusion legislation,
said in an interview that the Chinese
boycott had practically wiped out Amer
lean trade with the Flowery Kingdom.
Besides this, his information from trade
agents in China led him to believe that
the lives of all Caucasian missionaries
are in the greatest danger.
He says that the native chambers of
commerce, finally aroused by the harsh
application of our exclusion law, have ap-
piled our own weapon, the boycott. He
says the awakening is due largely to the
work of the Chinese empire reform asso-
citation, new organization, whose OBJ
jects are neither anti-foreign nor revo-
lutionary, but the reorganization of the
empire on modern lines and the adapta-
ton of western nethods of industry.

Troubles Little and Big.

The small faults, the petty troubles,
the little irritations, are constantly
with us.
Great emergencies do not need so
much watching as these inhnitesimal
worries of everyday life; and it is
often the case that while our worst
trials arise out of circumstances over
which we have small control, or none
whatever, our lesser ones are the prod
uct of personal littleness of soul.
There is nothing so detrimental to
true enjoyment of life, so productive of
harm in any community, so injurious
to private and public welfare as jeal-
ousy.
We do not speak of the all-absorbing
reign of the green-eyed monster, the
passion which mikes man and woman
beside themselves, but the microscope
cal jumps of feeling which would be
contemplate for their smallness were
they not so successful in destroying
peace and comfort.
These things affect all classes, with
out respect to culture or intellectual
attainment.

Management of Husbands.

1t may, suppose, be taken for grant
ed that all husbands are, whether they
know it or not, managed by their much
better halves. Some pretend that they
manage themselves, or even their wives,
but it is only for short time
One of these feeble would-be rebels,
In the absence of his wife, invited some
gentlemen friends to spend the evening
with him. The conversation turned on
the marriage question, when the host
boasted: Il am master in my own
house; do not believe In women rul-
ing; l do as l please, and make my
wife submit to my rule. | am regu-
lar julius Caesar in my house" Just
then his wife came in and said: Gen
tlemen, you had better go home, and
Julius Caesar will just walk right up
stairs with me-"
If it be asked whether a wife who
has vowed to obey her husband should
attempt to manage him, we reply that
1t depends upon the characters of the
husband and of the wife. If man
be weak and easily led, he will be
managed by someone, and If his wife
does not lead him right, bad friends
and bad passions will lead him wrong
The reason 1t sounds badly to speak of
managing a husband Is because so
many wives manage their husbands for
selfish purposes only. If their sole
object were to make the most of them,
it would be all right, but too often what
they aim at is to make the most out OF
them.
AS rule, however, when the reinS
get into the hands of wives the domes-
tic coach goes much more comfortably
even for the husbands themselves, and
we are not surprised that so many
wives consider their husbands creatures
that have to be looked after as grown
up little boys. interesting, piquaint, in
dispensable, but shiftless, headstrong,
and at bottom absurd
Unless he be very unlike the rest
of us, that husband of yours Is con-
tinually liable to say and do absurd
things, to dress in a slovenly manner,
to offend people from want Of tact, and
generally to make a fool of himself
1t is your duty to prevent him doing
so. Nor will he object Though that
would be of little consequence to your
winding him up like clock and MAX
Ing him go right in reference to such
matters. What can be pleasanter than

Watch Ynnz Voice.

Kind hearts are more plentiful than
persistently kind and gentle voices, and
yet love loses much of its power when
the voice is sharp and hard. Try,
therefore, most earnestly to acquire the
right tone in speaking, and guard your
self carefully from falling into care
less and bad habits of voice. Often a
sharp voice shows far more ill-will
than the heart feels; but people do
not know that the speakers bark is
worse than her bite" and they believe
her to be ill-tempered and disagree
able.
1t is so easy to pick up a sharp and
snappish manner of speaking. Very
often it is acquired In mirth, and in
the give-and-take battles of words, In
which the boys and girls delight. There
is no malice in their sallies, and a
great deal Of fun; but meanwhile the
voice is often acquiring sharp and
shrewdish tone which sticks through
life, making it stir up strife and ill-will
among its listeners.
SO watch the tone in which you
speak and take care that it is gentle
and sweet. a kind voice is like music
in the home, and is to the heart what
light and beauty are to the eye.
