Algeria is baked with them.
AS one climbs up the Atlas mountains
the views widen so that the whole world
seems spread out below. One can see so
far that such mountains as the Alps are
dwarfed by the mighty panoramas. The
ragged hills stretch away for hundreds Of
miles on every side, and in the winter.
when the Atlas is covered with snow, the
views must be, beyond expression, mag
nificent. | saw one sunset at the very
top of the pass, which will remain in my
memory among the most wonderful
of the cloud paintings of my life. During
the day the sirocco had been blowing
its hot blast from the desert and the
sun had been hidden. When 1t set the
sky was full of clouds, and it gilded them
in a hundred roseate hues. We We're high
up in the sky, with great masses OF
feecy gold above and below us. The
mountains took on all tints and shades.
and their sides became patchwork of
many colors, which we saw through thin
veil of gold. On other hills the veil was
a delicate lavender, and on others snow
white tinged with rose pink. AS the
sun disappeared band of royal purple
ran around these mountain peaks, rest
ing below them, while there were bands
of burning copper above and below.
In the kabyle Villages.
The NOSE striking feature of the whole
of the Atlas scenes is the human interest
which shines out of their every picture.
The Kabyle villages, are everywhere.
There are thousands of them in the AL
gerian mountains. Every great hilltop is
spotted with them, and they cap all the
lower peaks. The people build right on
the tops of the hills. Their little huts are
of stone and plaster, with roofs of red
tile. The walls are whitewashed, and
every town makes a great patch OF white
and red on the landscape.
The villages are usually far off the
road and are reached only by mule paths.

terday turned turtle and sank at the
company's docks in this city. All the
passengers and crew escaped, but it is
believed that the cargo consisting of
general merchandise will be almost a
total loss, as the hull of the vessel
lies in about Is feet of water.
The vessel was scheduled to sail for
Panama and way ports at l o'clock
yesterday afternoon and was taking
on her last supply of coal when the ac-
cldent occurred.
It Is supposed to have been caused
by the listing of the vessel as the coal
was being loaded on one side. She
went down slowly, and all those on
board had time to Chamber on the
dock. One man who was asleep at the
time was reused and he succeeded in
saving his life

lchases that ever occurred on the
Northside. Shots were fired, and be-

was finally captured after three bull.
let holes had been fired through his

That Webb is alive is almost a mir

lice. Policeman Thomas Carroll, the
crack shot of the policemen in this end
of the state, responded He declares
that he saw the negro in the act of
holding Pearson by the throat and 60

The Offices rushed to the rescue of
the bandits victim. He succeeded in
getting hold of him. Webb, who is
powerful negro, put up a fight. He
threw Policeman Carroll away and
started to run. The officer yelled for
him to stop several times. He con-

pIscOntInuance Of Eddy Suit.

A sudden though not wholly unex-
pected ending of the masters hearing
in connection with the suit in equity
brought by relatives for an account
ing of the property of Mrs Mary Bak-
er G. Eddy. leader of the Christian
Science faith, came in the superior
court room at Concord, N. H., on
Thursday, when former Senator Will
lam e. Chandler, senior counsel for
the relatives or next friends an
nounced to the board of masters that
they had filed a motion with the SUI
perior court to dismiss their action.
The suit was brought on the ground
that Mrs. Eddy, being incompetent on
account of age and infirmities, to man.
age her own affairs, was the victim of
persons associated with her in Chris
tian Science work, who were named
as defendants.
Three masters were appointed by
the superior court to determine the
question of Mrs. Eddy's competency.
The reason for the petition for dis
missal as stated by Mr.. Chandler, was
the belief that success along the lines
desfed could not be obtained and the
unprofitableness of any immediate re-
suit of a decision in favor of the next
friends in the exact issue as now
framed, compared with the burdens
and disadvantages to be endured both
before and after such decision.
