Its Relation to the New Island in

question that will probably be long
debated among biologists and that
possesses a keen interest for the peo-
pie of San. Francisco and the Pacific
coast in general is whether the new
steam belching island thrust up from
the bottom of Boring sea coincidentally
with the occurrence of the San Fran
cisco earthquake had any casual con-
nection with that earthquake or not.
Just how close the incident was in time
between the birth of the new volcanic
island and the shock, 1000 miles away,
cannot be tolds because nobody hap
pened to see the prodigious mass of
smoking and steaming lava at the mo-
ment of its emergence from the sea.

the supposition.

the Supposition.
Upon the whole. the evidence thus
far obtained fayors the view that the
simultaneous occurrence of the two
events was a coincidence, but another
curious coincidence must be added in
the eruption of Vesuvius, which hap
pened so short a time before the de-
struction of San Francisco. The truth
no doubt Is that all three OF these greay
outbreaks of subterranean forces, as
well as the Valparaiso earthquake later
in the summer, were due to common
cause. For reasons not yet clearly de-
termined, the earth has paroxysms of
internal disturbance. during which re-
gions separated by thousands of miles
may be simultaneously affected.
Another reason for thinking that the
outbreak in Boring sea was not the
cause of the earthquake is that several
times before new islands have been
thrust up near the same spot without
any disturbance being felt on the Cali
fornia coast.

TOWN BUYS WOMAN A HAT.
How City Attorney of Indianapolis
ForcstalIed Suit for Damages.

From the indianapolis Star.
The city Of Indianapolis. as a municipal
corpora ton, bought a woman a hat the
other day.
Merely for convenience she may be
called Mrs. Smith, because for the sake
of her feelings James d. PIERCE, the as
sistant city attorney, who made the deal,
would not divulge her name.
A contractor who was at work on a
street improvement left some bricks in
the street. Mrs. Smith, with her hus-
band, was on her way to the theatre, and
as luck would have 1t, she stumbled over
those bricks and fell quite heavily.
Her husband helped her to her feet and
half carried her back home. The mex.
day a report Of the accident reached the
office of the city attorney. No claim hal
been filed for damages. but the lawyers
who look after the city's legal business
believed that there would be one, so Nj.
PIERCE decided to see Mrs. Smith.
That noon, which was the first of last
week, PIERCE hurried out to the North
Side fiat where the woman and her hus-
band and her mother live. The young
woman came to the door. He was ush.
cred in, and, after being informed thai
the woman before him was Mrs Smith.
he began to talk.
Mrs Smith did not want to go to court.
She did not want to sue the city and
have all the papers say that she Stun
bled and rolled over and over in tn 2
street. She did not want to face judge
and jury and have a dozen lawyers firing
questions at her.
1.-The city will buy you a nice new hat
of your own selection and we will call
the thing square," said PIERCE.
But l had better see my husband"
said the young woman.
HE would not wear the hat" said
PIERCE.
mo, that's so,' she said, and she
| smiled.
well, we'll do that she said.
She signed a release. Her husband
came a moment later. He signed too.
! That afternoon the young woman
bought her hat and paid for 1t with a
| ten-dollar bill PIERCE had given her.

THREE DISTINCT SERVICES WERE
IN PROGRESS AT ONE TIME
LAST NIGHT.

Those who wanted to heaI the Cos

religious workers, and all within one
block
At the corner of Palafox and Inten
dencia streets family, consisting oil
father, wife and number of children
held forth with drums and tam

about them.
A little further south on the same
street lone man preached 70 a crowC
which collected, and of course the Sal
walton Army workers were out fol
their usual service
In addition to this a blind man, who
had been travelling about the business
section of the city during the after
noon took his stand about the middle
of the block, and the shrill notes from
his flute could occasionally be heard
above the noise of the drums anC
singing.

BARK LYsG[|NT
MAKES RECORD
PASSAGE
Sails From Swokopmund,
German South Africa,
Here in As Days.

The Norwegian bark Lysglint,
which arrived in port yesterday, bears
the distinction of having made the
best known record of sailing craft
on the passage from Swokopmund,
German Southwest Africa, to this
port. When the bark crossed Pensa-
cola bar yesterday and entered the
harbor she had been out exactly 45
days from the port from which she
sailed. This time is only two days
more than the passage made by a
steamer which entered here recently
from Swokopmund, and which illus
trates the speed maintained through
out the voyage by the bark
The bark passed San Antonio, Cuba,
on the goth, and consumed only two
days in coming from that port to Pen
sacola. En- route she caught up with
and passed a Mallory line steamer
from Cuba for Mobile, and although
the steamer made an effort to keep
alongside OF the bark she could not
maintain the speed of the latter and
soon dropped out of sight.
Captain Hansen said yesterday that
| from the day he set sail from Sw1op-
mund for Pensacola he had strong and
fair winds, and that the seas through
out the voyage were as smooth al.
most as glass.

MAN BURIED AND
IDENTITY A
MYSTERY
Stranger Who Was Asphyxi-
ated on Wright Street,
Is Buried.

After holding the body for over two
weeks in the nope of Identification,
the remains of the stranger who met
death by asphyxiation at Wright
street boarding house have been
buried, and with the interment ended
all opportunity for Identification. The
grave will be marked with a head
stone engraved unknown"
Efforts have been made by the au-
thorities to discover the identity of
the man, and many persons have
viewed the remains at Pou's under
taking parlors since death occurred
and although in some instances he
bore resemblance to missing men the
parties we're not sure, and consequent
ly his identity will probably forever
remain a mystery. 1t is believed by
many, however, that the man was j.
e. Sheffield, of Lucedale, Miss, who
before leaving Mobile went to the Of
fee of Jet Bros. and left his name
and address that some money might
be sent him. This was done by the
| firm and the letter enclosing the
money was found among other papers.
The sum of $4,000 was found about
the clothing of the dead man when
the officers made a search among his
effects and clothing, and this amount.
together with some letters addressed
to various parties, is now in a safety
deposit box in the American National
Bank, placed there by the sheriff, and
will be held subject to the orders of
the court. Out Of this amount will
come the expenses of embalming and
funeral, but what disposition will be
made of the remainder will have to
be decided by the courts.
| The woman, Maggie Collums,
claimed s150 of the amount, saying
that she had given this amount to
the stranger on the train shortly af-
ter she met him near Bay Minette,
but the officials have refused to turn
the amount over to her, and she has
not pressed the claim.
She is supposed 70 have returned
to her home in Alabama.

So as to Uplift Them.
Philip Vanzant, son Of George Van
Eant, president Of the Prairie State
bank, is putting in bis vacation as a
scullion in the kitchen of a club at
Lake Geneva, says Chicago dispatch.
Young Mr.. vanzant is a theological
student in the University of Chicago,
and bis ambition is the ministry. He
is filed with high ideals and is an
earnest believer In the "uplift." He
has taken the course of washing pots
and pans, carrying coal and mopping
up grease SO that he can study the
character Of the people whom he pro-
poses to reach when he begins his up
lift" crusade. He has been at the work
a little over a month. and in that time
some of his ideals have been smashed
and others have received severe jolts.
One of his most cherished ideals
about the greater democracy and the
equality Of man was smashed the first
Sunday he was at Lake Geneva. His
father, mother and younger brother
were guests of the club that day.
When it came time for dinner, after he
had turned the ice cream freezer,
thrown out the garbage, cleaned up
the pots and pans, fixed the fires and
scrubbed the grease up from the floor
where the cook had let 1t spill over, he
cleaned himself I'D. put on his coat and
went into the dining room to dine with
his family and the other guests. But
some Of the members. knowing he hat
been doing mental work, objected and
were so rude about 1t that he was
obliged to withdraw.
Vanzant has organized a Bible class
among the helu 10 which he devotes
an-hour every Sunday.
