 Although such pardons issued in ad~ vance of trial had been upheld by the Kentucky court of appeals, as legal. those produced by Powers and his conn panions were held to be of no eftect and were cited by Goebei men as ad- ditional evidence of the guilt of the accused.
 Then followed during the course Of eight years. four legal battles which served to reveal the intensity of the hatred aroused by the memorable struggle for the governorship.

is the new city of St. Pierre, which is being built
on the very spot where the city of st. Pierre
absolutely destroyed on the eighth of May. 1902.
Even the great world outside accustomed as it
has become to records of fearful disaster has not
forgotten the horror of the desolation that came
down upon st. Pierre when Mont Peee belched
forth the deadly fumes of gas and burning lava
that overwhelmed the town. 1t is estimated that
in instant twentynine thousand men, women
and children lost their lives.
For days previous to the eruption Mont Pelee had
given her warnings. But Mont Pelee had been
warning the people of ST. Pierre for centuries and
centuries 1t was the old story of crying wolf"
When the wolf he had everything to him.
self.
First came faint rumblings as if thunder
sounding in the distance. binding flash
rose from the crater of the volcano and seemed to
envelop the island; darkness and silence followed
and with them came the fearfully oppressive heat
which overwhelmed nearly all the victims. This
was followed by the deadly fumes of the gases that
had escaped from the volcano and last the lava
ashes that completely filled the air so that no one
could breathe.
The ships in the harbor put out to sea quickly
possible when their captains realized what was
about to happen, but miles and miles away from
Martinique they pursued by the awful heat
and terrible gases. One ship. the Parma of the
Quebec line, little slower in getting away from
the harbor than the rest, was destroyed.
There have been terrible days in the history of
the world when cities we're swept down in destruc-
ton. Pompei is the greatest classic instance of
the horrors attending such a devastation OF prop
erty and of human life. San Francisco has had
her own share of difficulty from natural conditions
Charleston has suffered; the cities of Japan have
known earthquake and tidal wave; Mauna Loa has
shown its power in the Pacific; Vesuvius has OF
late revealed her odtime strength. But of all the
awful instances of the power of natural forces over
human efforts there has never been anything as
terrible as the destruction of st. Pierre by Mont
Pelee.
Today Mont Peee above the vapor wreaths that
envelop its serrated crests- stands majestic over
the scene of where the principal seaport city of
Martinique used to be. And today, on the very
site of the most awful devastation in the worlds
history new city has risen, where human effort
again defies natural forces
The heavy rampant guns which hurled
hundreds of feet from the battery by the irresist
ible blast that overthrow the strongest structures
in the city still lie the grassy slope. The great
wooden crucifx that overlooked the center of the
town from the Boulevard skirting the base of
Morne Bael, lies prone the roadway. The iron
figure of Christ has been removed, except where
fragment of the right forearm and the hand is
transixed by the nail of the crucifxion.
The ruins are much the same as they were after
the eruption, except that they are overgrown with
tropical vegetation. Banana trees have grown

st. Pierre. They will come, no doubt
for the energy and enterprise. which
has dared to consider rebuilding the
city, will not stop at what it has al
ready accomplished. The memory of
man is short and the thought of the
day when Pelee overwhelmed st.
Pierre will be forgotten in the newer
interests of revived city.
There is said to be a mystic influ-
ence about Martinique that draws back
to the island anyone who has once
visited it. This claim has even won
for the island the name of LIE Pays des
Revenants (The Land of Re-visitors).
There is not in the term the element
of the supernatural which the French
phrase implies, but the word refers
only to those living who have come
to the island, gone away and been
drawn back by this occult love of the

CHOKED THE HOoDOO.

Boston, Aug. 21.-The White Sox
managed to strangle their hoodoo this
afternoon and won a game. 1t took all
the reserves, however, to overcome the
Red Sox in the opening game OF the
series here by the score of to Z.
Six pitchers took part in the struggle,
three on each side. Smith. Altrock and
Wash performed for Chicago, while
Cicotte Steele and Burchell worked for
the Boston team. The game took two
hours and twenty-five minutes of the
most strenuous kind of playing. and
the big crowd out to watch for an
other victory was kept on edge all the
way to the finish, when Walsh struck
out Jake Stahl with runner on sec
ond awaiting for hit to tie the score.
Sixteen hits were made by the home
players, but they were scattered along
more than the twelve swats credited to
the White Sox.
