his efforts by the fact that the said
Henry Williams, who claims to be q
son of the aforesaid William Il. VIII

years in the penitentiary for highway

from aiding his lawyer in workir up
the case as fully as he might other
wise do.
There are several sets OF alleged
heirs and claimants. The case has
been hanging fire for several years.
Williams was a colored huckster
who occupied a stall in the Second

FEES FOR ITS FLASHES.
San Salvador Uses Live Volcano as

San Salvador Uses Live Volcano as
Lighthouse.
The republic of San Salvador is the
only government on earth that collects
lighthouse fees on account Of a volca-
no that it owns and without the slight
est cost of upkeep.
The volcanic beacon is about eight
miles inland from the port Of Acatutla.
and its pillar of cloud by day and its
fire sky by night are visi e for many
miles out at sea- It burst forth every
seven minutes and is jus as accurate
as any revolving light that warns
mariners of danger in any part Of the
world.
This volcano has been keeping up
this seven minute series Of eruptions
even since any ore can remember. 1t
is a favorite amusement of visitors to
sit by the hour during the lazy after
moons and. watch in hand, to time the
eruptions till they tire Of the occupa-
ton and fall asleep. No one has ever
caught the volcano mapping, however.
Every vessel that puts in at Acajutla
has to pay its lighthouse fee. There
is no other lighthouse than the vol
cano. but that is sufficient excuse for
the government of Salvador to make
a charge for its services The explo-
sions that accompany the erupdons
sound like detonations Of heavy
charge of dynamite. but fortunately
they are not sufficient to shake the
ground perceptibIy more than about
mile or two from the summit OF the
crater-Pearson' Weekly.
