Alleged to Have Been Nipped by Detectives in London. STORY CREATES BIG SENSATION Coronation Threatens to Prove Gigand its Flanco Through Rapacity and : A sensational story was current in London Tuesday night of the discovery of a plot to assassinate King Edward. This story has created considerable discussion in newspaper and other circles, but it is lacking in anything like official confirmation. According to the current report King Edward's sudden illness at Aldershot was not due to a cold, but was merely an excuse for withdrawing his majesty from public functions owing to the discovery by Scotland Yard detectives of a plot against his life. The principals in this plot have not yet been arrested. It is cited in confirmation of this story that King Edward's recovery when he was ensconced at Windsor castle was as complete and speedy as his attack had been sudden. On the other hand it must be pointed out that if his majesty's illness was merely diplomatic, the officials certainly took a great deal of trouble in keeping up the fiction. Threatens to Be Flasco. The coronation as a public spectacle threatens to be a flasco. So serious and so imminent has this possibility become that The London Times and other papers are printing alarmist letters urging the authorities to take steps to prevent its failure before it is too late. The rapacity of the hotel keepers and greed of the seat speculators are the reasons. With scarcely more than a week before the coronation not 50 per cent of the seats on the huge stands have been sold. Frightened by the exorbitant demands thousands of people residing in the suburbs and country who had planned to attend and see the king crowned have now decided to stay away, while a large proportion of Londoners will avail themselves of the opportunity to enjoy a holiday at the seaside or elsewhere in preference to submitting to the inconveniences of the extraordinary police regulations which will be enforced on coronation days. Police Precautions. But what chiefly contributes to the present serious state of affairs are the police precautions to make the procession to Westminster Abbey one which ticket holders only can witness, except in the case of St. James park, where but a few thousand will be able to see the royal party. The published regulations, whereby all traffic within about a mile of the first day's route is to be stopped at 3 o'clock in the morning and pedestrians are to be stopped at 8 a.m., convey a faint inkling of what remarkable indignities London will be submitted to. From the appearance of Westminster the capital might well be preparing to resist an invasion or be contemplating a communistic rising. Solid timber, barricades 20 to 30 feet high rise at the entrance of all streets and alleys leading anywhere near the route. The number, ugliness and solidity of these barricades cause bitter reflections regarding the opinion which the authorities must have of the unrullness of the loyal British crowds. Irish Net in It. At a meeting of the Irish members of the house of commons Tuesday resolutions to the effect that the Irish nationalists, as a protest against the "misgovernment of their country," resolved to take no part in the present coronation celebrations, and that the Irish party be summoned to meet in Dublin on the day of King Edward's coronation, to take into consideration the condition of Ireland, were unanimously adopted. CADETS GET THEIR DIPLOMAS. Presentation Made by Rocscvelt in Silence and Only a Hand-Shake. The centennial celebration of the West Point Military academy was ended Thursday with the presentation of diplomas to the, graduating class. The weather was fine and the ceremony took place out of doors on that part of the parade grounds known as "Cavalry Plain." President Roosevelt presented each new officer with his diploma. It was expected the president would make a few remarks, but he simply shook hands with each cadet. The Expected Has Happened as Aftermath of Majer's Interview at San Francisco. A Washington dispatch says: Major L. W. T. Waller, of the Marine corps, who was courtmartialed for executing the orders of Brigadier General Jacob S. Smith in the island of Samar, was been called to account by Secretary of the Navy Moody for the interview he gave on Friday last upon his arrival at San Francisco. Uncle Major Wallace explicitly denies the interview, he is in danger of being severely reprimanded or even courtmartialed. The action taken by Secretary Moody is involved in some mystery, officials of the navy department being disinclined to discuss the matter in any way. Nevertheless, it is known that Secretary Moody's attention was called to the interview and he sharply condemned it. The president also objected to the interview, the more so because in his reprimand of Lieutenant General Miles some months ago, he gave both services to understand that he did not propose to permit officers to make statements criticising their superiors in either service. In the interview credited to Major Waller, he is regarded as having reflected upon the authorities in Washington and as having made statements which were highly objectionable not so much on account of the words themselves as because of the insinuations they convey. The statement to which the president and Secretary Moody took particular exception was this: "I know who caused that epurmartial, I know who brought it forward. I know who was at the back of it all, and Washington knows as much." MISS TAYLOR STAYS OUT. House Acts on Shallenberger's "Inquiry" Resolution. A Washington special says: The fact that the laws governing the employees in the classified civil service of the United States may be set aside whenever it suits the pleasure of the officials, was demonstrated Monday morning when the house, by a strict party vote, laid on the table Representative Shallonberger's resolution calling on the secretary of war for the cause, and reasons of the dismissal of Miss Rebecca Y. J. Taylor, the war department clerk, whom Secretary Root ordered removed because she wrote and published in a local newspaper an article criticising the administration policy in the Philippines. Chairman Gillette, of the house committee on reform in the civil service, reported the resolution recommending that it be laid on the table. The democrats demanded the yeas and nays, and all the republicans present voted to adopt the report. Miss Taylor was never formally charged with any offense so that she could make answer thereto, as is provided for in the civil service regulations; so that her dismissal was clearly a violation of both the letter and the spirit of the law, and showed that persons employed by the government may not expect to exercise the right of free speech. With this report, Gillette submitted a letter from Secretary Root written Saturday, in the which he following statement is made: "No head of a department can maintain effective administration if he is obliged to depend on the service of clerks who are so violently opposed to the success of the work in which they are engaged that they are unable to refrain from public denunciation of the purpose of the work and public insult to the president." As a matter of fact, "there was no "insult to the president" in Miss Taylor's article. Even some of the republicans who voted to adopt the committee report admit that Root's action in dismissing the clerk was wrong, and one for which no satisfactory excuse can be made. Spain to Send Cuban Minister. It is announced at Madrid that the government has decided to appoint a minister to the Cuban republic. TO OPEN NEW ROAD.

SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JUNE 21. 1902. GOMEZ BOUGHT OFF? Alleged That He Was Paid Not to Oppose Palmer. CORRESPONDENT'S ALLEGATION Washington Officials Deny All Knowledge of the Matter Palma Alsh Makee Denial, But Gomez "Within a week there will be revealed at Washington the most sensational transaction that has yet come to light in connection with the investigation now going on of the expenditures of money made by Governor Leonard Wood during his regime in Cuba," said Charles M. Dobson, the former staff correspondent for the Associated Press at Havana, Cuba, who was in New Orleans Saturday on his way to New York. "It will be disclosed that Governor Wood paid the sum of $25,000 to Maximo Gomez, the so called Cuban patriot, and this sum was a bribe paid with the sanction of the republican administration at Washington to prevent any outbreaks of the populace at the time of the last national election in the United States. I know just where the check for this sum of money can be found. I know right where to lay my hands on it. No Secret About It; "There is no secret about the payment of this bribe among the friends of General Wood, or those on the inside of the secrets of the administration of affairs under the Wood regime. President McKinley knew about it. General Wood did not make the payment of his own volition. He was advised to do so by the officials at Washington, who were in higher authority than he. The payment of the bribe was considered to be a matter of diplomacy, one of those diplomatic expedients that the officials of every nation in high authority have to resort to at times for the reason that unscrupulous men work themselves up into high places and have to be dealt with occasionally on practically their own terms. "Gomez had posed as a patriot before the Cuban people, but it was known to General Wood that he had a price. It was purposely made clear to General Wood by representatives of Gomez, and to make the matter of financial recompense for any amelioration Gomez might bring about more emphatic Gomez began to advise his followers, the negroes for the most part, from eastern provinces, to 'take to the woods' in case they were unable to obtain the freedom at the hands of the United States for which they had so long fought. Finally Gomez made know the fact that he would consent to withdraw his name from before the people as a candidate for the presidency and advise his followers to abandon their hostile intentions if he should be allowed to use the sum of $25,000 in his work 'of pacification,' claiming that that amount was necessary for the purpose if it were to be carried through without any chance of failure." Is News to Roosevelt. A Washington special says: Regarding the New Orleans story that General Gomez received a $25,0000 bribe from the administration to withdraw from the Cuban campaign, thereby permitting the election of Estrada Palma, it was stated Saturday night by an official close to President Roosevelt that he had never before heard of it. Secretary Hay said that not until his attention was called to the story had he received the slightest intimation of it from any source. Secretary Root thought the story was only an exaggeration of General Wood's action in granting a pension to General Gomez. The statement that General Wood had paid General Gomez money to withdraw from the Cuban campaign, Secretary Root said, was absurd on its face, as Gomez was one of President Estrada Palma's warmest friends. Palma Denies; Gomez is Silent. A special from Havana says: President Palma and General Gomez were questioned Sunday with regard to the alleged "brilhery" story. President Palma indignantly denied that he had been a party to any scheme to have General Gomez withdraw from the campaign in his favor. He also spoke for General Gomez, who was present when Palma was questioned on this matter. The president of Cuba said that to insinuate Senior Gomez had been bought off by a bribe of $25,000 was to question the honesty and integrity of Gomez and himself and that such attacks would pass unanswered. ON THE SPOONER SUBSTITUTE Republicans May Comprömíls and Accord Cuba Some Degree of Reciprocity. A Washington special says: The republican members of the senate committee on Cuban relations Tuesday finally agreed to the acceptance of the Spooner Bill, providing for reciprocity with Cuba and decided to ask that a conference of republican senators be called to consider its terms. The conclusion was reached at a meeting of the republican members of the committee Tuesday morning. After the meeting adjourned the text of the bill was made public. It is a substitute for the house bill and is as follows: "When the republic of Cuba shall enact a law or laws establishing preferential rates of customs duties on any or all articles, growth, production or manufacture of the United States imported into Cuba, which preferential rates shall be in the opinion of the president of the United States 66 institute a factor equivalent for the reduction hereinafter provided in the rate of customs duties upon articles the growth, production or manufacture of Cuba, imported into the United States, and he shall so declare by proclamation, thereupon and thereafter so long as such preferential duties shall be continued by the government of Cuba, not longer, however, than five years, the duties levled, collected and paid upon such articles so exported from Cuba to the United States shall be 80 per centum of the duties specified in the act entitled— "An act to provide revenue for the government and to encourage the industries of the United States approved July 24, 1897, and duly amendment thereof, provided, however, that it shall be the duty of the president to thoroughly investigate through the diplomatic and consular representatives of the United States and Cuba and by such other means as he may deem it necessary to employ for such purpose whether the tariff concession herein before provided upon articles the growth, production or manufacture of Cuba substantially insures, so far as the articles of sugar and tobacco are concerned to the benefit of the producers of said articles in Cuba, and if the president shall be satisfied from such investigation that the substantial benefit of said concession upon either of said articles is inuring to the purchasers thereof, individual or corporate in the United States, it shall be his duty to so declare by proclamation to that effect and thereupon and thereafter so long as said conditions shall continue there shall be levied and collected upon such articles or that one of them as to which said condition exists, the rate of duty levied and collected by law upon such article or articles coming into the United States from other foreign countries." PROTECT SELF AND HOME Bishop Walter®, Coloré®, Su Advisees Audience In Chicago® Mettings® "The time has come when the black man must depend upon himself for protection. I do not stand for tribes, but every negro should be prepared to protect his home, his wife, and children, even to the death." This advice was given at a meeting of negroes in Chicago Monday night by Bishop Alexander Walters, of the colored church of Ohio, after he had warned his hearers that all signs pointed to a time of great trouble for them. Bishop Walters is president of the Afro-American council. The meeting was held in the Ollvet Baptist church, and was called for the purpose of taking action on the persecution of the negro residents of Eldorado and Harrisburg, Ill., and the lynching of Louis Wright, in Missouri. A resolution was adopted and telephoned to Governor Yates calling on him to take immediate steps to protect the lives and property of the colored people at Eldorado and. Harrisburg, Ills. Governor Yates, who is in Chicago, sald in regard to the matter: "The autorities have been ordered to proceed against any persons who may have been guilty of assaults against the colored people of that locality, and law will be maintained." TO ANNEX ISLAND OF CUBA. Bill Is Introduced in the Senate With That Object in View. Senator Elkins, Saturday, introduced a joint resolution in the senate providing for the annexation of Cuba and for its admission as a state of the union. The resolution grants the consent of congress to the erection of the republic of Cuba as a state of the union, "to be called the state of Cuba, with a republican form of government, to be adopted by the people of said republic by deputies in convention assembled with the consent of the existing government." SHOT HER SIX BABES Frightful Tragedy Enacted by a Poor, Demented Mother. BURNED HOME AFTER CRIME Children Were Found Scattered Over the Premises With Bullet Heels Their Heads—Mother Is Details were received at Hazlehurst, Miss., Monday of one of the most horrible tragedies that ever occurred in that section of Mississippi. Louls Westrope, a well-to-do and well-known farmer living near the little village of Brandywine, 30 miles southwest of Hazlehurst in the edge of Clalborne covefly, was attending services at a neighboring church Sunday with his grown daughter. While there, in the middle of the service, a messenger hastened into the church and told him that all of his little children, six in number, had been murdered, his home in smoke and ashes, and his wife gone, or also murdered, and her body probably consumed by the fire which had destroyed his home. Arming themselves with shotguns and repeating rifles and procuring dogs., the male congregation hurried to the scene of the awful catastrophe. SIX Dead Bodies Found. Upon arrival at the learned home five dead children were found scattered affound the premises with bullet hysteres in the head of each child. Among the ashes of the ruins were found the charred bones of the infant. Diligent search failed to locate the body of the mother. Outside of the yard was found a bloody apron and tracks leading toward a swamp. The evidence soon convinced the spectators that Mrs. Westropé had committed the terrible deed. Search was immediately instituted for her, and she was finally located Monday afternoon in a country grave yard, where she had sent the night. When she saw the searching party she placed the same file with which she had the day before wrought the destruction of her own children to her heart and pulled the trigger, the bullet passing one inch below the heart, seriously, but not necessarily fatally, wounding her. The woman conversed intelligently and said she did not know how she came to be in the grave yard or what she had done the day before. Those who knew her and her family believe that she committed the crime while mentally deranged. MAFIA AGAIN IN BUSINESS. Invocation of Murders in New Orleans Reveals Secrets to Police. In the customer's inquest at New Orleans Monday on the body of Bartolo Ferrard, Antonio Luciano, a Sicilian, gave all the facts of the killing as well as the vendetta which led up to it. So did his cousin, Luigi Luciano. After this and other Sicilian assassinations of last week, all the witnesses to it, refused to talk. Each declared that he had not been present and had not seen any of the shooting. They let it be understood that they settled their differences outside of the courts, by the use of the vendetta. This sudden change is welcomed by the police. It puts a very different light on the recent ambush and assassination, brings out the truth in regard to them and enables the police to suppress the attempt to revive the mafia and vendetta in New Orleans. In the several shooting affrays of last week, three Sicilians were killed, three others were fatally wounded and will die and several slightly wounded. Clark Named for. Rear Admiral. The president Monday sent to the senate the name of Captain C. E. Clark, to be advanced seven numbers in rank and to be a rear admiral in the navy. As Precautionary Measure Cincinnati and Topeka Go to La Guayra. The cabinet Tuesday discussed the situation in Venezuela. It was decided that one or two warships should be sent at once to La Guayra. This action was taken not upon definite advises, but in pursuance of the general policy of looking after American interests in case of disturbance. Later orders were sent to the Cincinnati and Topeka, now at San Juan, to proceed at once to La Guayra. Cream of News.

PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W. St. Julian Street. The governor of North Carolina has offered a reward aggregating $30,000 for the men who recently took a part in the lynching of a colored boy in that state. Since the lynching it was found out that the victim was innocent of the crime. This only strengthened our conviction against lynching. Many are the men who have been innocently hurled into eternity by the wrath of mobbers. HON. E. A. DEAS of South Carolina, is to be commended for his singlehanded fight against the confirmation of the self-confessed lyncher who has been appointed as collector of Internal Revenue of that state. In the appointment of this lyncher, the President was undoubtedly badly advised, as he was in some of the other appointments in South Carolina. It is hoped that he will withdraw the appointment of Koester and give the place to some one who will prove more beneficial to the party. ALL of the instructors at the Georgia State Industrial College have been re-elected - Among the faculty there are several very able and conscientious workers who are doing much for the success of the college. This institution should be more popular with the mass of the citizens. There have been much that hindered the growth of this popularity. The cause of it is well known, and should be remedied. If it is remedied in time, it will be the cause of making the G. S. I. C., the most popular institution of learning in the state. THE TRIBUNE, along with the leading thinkers in the city are anxious for everything to be done to make the college what it should be in the minds of the people. THE June ordination at the Cathedral at Baltimore will take place to-day. A dispatch says that it will have an added interest from the fact that the second colored man ever ordained to the Roman Catholic priest hood in this country will receive holy orders on that day at the hands of Cardinal Gibbons. The colored candidate is Rev. J. Harry Dorsay, a student at St. Joseph Seminary. He was raised to the deaconate last fall by Bishop Alfred A. Curtis. The first colored man ordained in this country was Rev. C. R. Uncles in the cathedral December 13, 1891. Father Uncles, who is a member of the Josephite order, is now stationed in Deleware. Another colored priest Father Tolton who died a few years ago in Chicago from the effects of the heat was ordained abroad. The International Sunday School Convention meets shortly in Denver, Col. The broad scope of this institution is known by every one. Heretofore in all of its meetings the color question was not considered and discrimination unknown. At the coming meeting an effort has been made to show discrimination by having a jim crow department at the place of meeting. This action is justly resented and in this resentment the Rev. Peck of the A. M. E. church of Denver, leads. In commenting upon what Rev. Peck said about it the Denver Times one of the leading Western dailies said : "In the statement which he makes to the public with reference to the attitude of the colored people regarding the International Sunday School convention soon to be held here the colored people do not ask for any, social recognition. They will entertain in their own way and at their own expense but when it comes to being hered together in the churches, in the prosecution of church work in which white and black are mutually interested, they enter their protest and decline to submit to such arrangements. In the body of the church, he claims there should be no distinction of race or color. There they meet on a common plane to work out a common destiny. The church recognizes no color distinction and one soul is doubleslite quite as white as another. "It is on this principle that he stands and how the International Sunday School union can stand by the proposition of making sheep of one and goes of the other is something The Times cannot not clearly perceive and most assuredly cannot subscribe to." Success Club Notes. On account of many changes made by the program committee, our initial literary entertainment has been postponed. The date will be announced later and our many friends are expected to be present. The meeting Tuesday night was saddened somewhat on account of two of our faithful members who have been ardently laboring with us since the organization of the club, came to pay their last visit before leaving for New York City. These gentlemen are: Messrs. L. Daniels and M. A. Green. The club wishes for them a pleasant sojourn. Several applications were made for club membership and for the night school which is meeting with much success in its beginning. This new feature has been added to the club for the fact that the object of ourorganization is for self-development and this implies everything that is helpful to its members and friends. Those who need help worst are the ones who toil during the day, but are desirous of improving their opportunities. These are invited to profit themselves by attending our night school. Mr. Cyrus G: Wiley will address us next Tuesday night. Mr. Wiley is a brilliant young man and our club delights to honor all young men of his calibre. We still ask the good will and assistance of the public for an organization that does everything, for the uplifting of the young. St. Phillips Church Dots. Sunday was a disagreeable day. It rained all day and the attendance at church was very small. At 11 a. m. Rev. Cargile, D. D., preached. The choir and congregation sung hymn number 28, "God Moves in a Mysterious Way." The text was taken from 43rd chapter of Isiah; subject "We Are Instruments in God's Hands and Are Witnesses for Jesus Christ." It was a grand sermon in every respect. Everybody was made to feel glad that it is good to be in God's holy temple. At 8 p. m. Rev. Cargile delivered an eloquent discourse to the Savannah Light Infantry, who attended in a body under command of Capt. H. N. Walton. Hymn number 609, "In Thy Oleft, O Rock of Agea, Hide Thou Me," was sung. His text was Paul's Letter to Timothy 3:2; subject "Endure Hardness as a Soldier." Rev. Cargile spoke to the company as soldiers in protecting the country and obeying the orders of their superior officers, and as soldiers in the army of the Living God. His discourse was all that could be expected and the audience was well benefited. After the service the company presented the church and pastor with a sum of money, which was received by Rev. Cargile for the church. St. Philip's Sunday school will picnic at Bluffton, S. C., on July 4th. Don't fail to go. Fare for the round trip 50 cents, children under 12 years 25 cents.

The public is cordially invited to attend these services. The Third Quarterly Conference will convene on Friday, July 11. Bolton Street Church. The Rev. T. M. Williamson, B. D., of the First A. B. church, corner West Broad and Bolton streets, preached on Sunday morning from the subject "Christ Praying for His Enemies." It was a fine effort, and was pronounced as one of the beat sermons, on prayer, ever heard in Savannah. At night Rev. Williamson's subject was "Christ Bruisad and Sinners Healed." It was the opening sermon of the revival which is being carried on at the above named church this week. The Rev. S. E. Gore of Atlanta is assisting Rev. Williamson this week in his revival, and his sermons are attracting great interest. Notwithstanding the fact that at this time of the year the people do not take to revivals, as it is not the season, the meetings are growing in interest, and it is hoped that much good may be done. The public is cordially invited to attend these services, which will be short each night on account of the intensity of the warm weather. City pastors are invited to come as often as they can and render as much good as possible. First A. B. Church. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, the attendance last Sunday was very good. Rev. Seme of South East Africa preached an excellent sermon at 11 a.m. The conference at 3 p.m. was well attended and as orderly as regular church service. The church roll was partially called and many of the members responded and paid their dues. The roll will be completed on the fifth Sunday of this month. All of the members are notified to meet at the church at 3 p.m. sharp to answer to their names and pay their dues. Delinquent members will be referred to the discipline meeting. At 8 p.m., Dr. Carr preached a powerful sermon. The decoration of the main auditorium is nearing completion. When completed this will be the finest church auditorium in the city. The carpet for the church is being made in the factory at Philadelphia Pa. It will be finished in about two weeks; the pews will be shipped in a few days. We hope to be ready for the reopening July 20th. We cordially invite all of our friends to go with us to St. Catherine Island next Monday.

He was given the last sad rites of the order. Among those who will attend the Grand, Lodge from this city are Past Grand Mastbr, J. H. Deveaux and Alex. Harris, Grand Secretary, Sol. C. Johnson, District Deputy, C. B. Whaley, M. D., Worshipful Masters, R. M. Danielly, L. A. Thomas, E. N. Sullivan G. L. Bowen, F. Allen and Senior Warden Edward Pettie. Several others may attend. We have received intelligence from Worshipful Master, Geo. D. Bryant of Sharon Lodge No. 94 at Pearson, that the Lodge room with all of its regalia, furniture, books, seal, etc., was destroyed by fire on Wednesday of last week. The loss amounts to several hundred dollars and falls heavily on the Lodge especially at this time. The officers are appealing to the craft for aid, and their appeal should not be made in vain. All donations can be sent to Bro. Frank Williams at Pearson, Ga. The following articles were taken from the Atlanta Constitution: The Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons will convene in its thirty-second annual communication June 24, at 10:30 o'clock in the city of Americans. This points to one of the largest and most successful meetings, in the history of the Grand Lodge. All of the lodges are striving to have the best reports ever rendered. The year has been one of the most quiet and successful in years. Arena Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, of Atlanta, held impressive memorial ceremonies at Allen Temple May 25, in honor of the late Worthy Grand Matron, Mrs. Dorothea Edwards, of Savannah. These services could not have been held in honor of one more deserving. She believed in working for God. and humanity while life lasted. This she did. She worked and worked till sweet rest beckoned to her to come over the river and labpr no more among men." The Grand Lodge will convene at Americus, on Tuesday morning next at 10:30 o'clock. This will be an entirely business session. There will be no time for useless talk and speech making, but solid legislation for the good of the craft. The delegates are going this time with a determined mind to act only in a manner that will help. The most important legislation will be the conducting of the Widows and Orphans Home and Industrial School. This matter requires much thought and consideration. The building is finished and at this session it is expected that every penny of it will be paid. The expenses of the Grand Lodge have been very great, but if each lodge in the jurisdiction would fully carry out the instructions of the Grand Lodge, their expenses would be fully wiped out easily. It is expected that each representative of lodges will bring all of the claims of the Grand Lodge. There are a number of lodges that have failed to pay revenue to the Grand Lodge for the past two years. These lodges will be summarily dealt with. The Grand Chapter order of the Eastern Star meets August 25th in Americas. Arab1 News. Arabi; Ga., is a thriving town nine miles south of Cordele, on the Georgia Southern Railway.

GAY LITTLE PORT, BUT WITH NO AVENUES OF ESCAPE; The Metropolis of Martinique Was a Merry Place Until Covered by Lava and Ashes — A Mountain Rift Ithan Through Every Street. Merchants and ship captains who know the Windward Islands cannot conceive of the gay little port of St. Pierre. de Martinique covered with ashes and lava. As do all the colonial capitals of the French, St. Pierre followed, as closely as the steamers and malls would permit the customs and fashions of Paris. At the Hotel des Bains at the "absinthe hour" one might always find a gathering of the young men of the town, who sat slipping their liqueurs and chatting safely. Where St. Pierre was the coast line curves inland like a slightly bent bent. Describing it, one of the shopkeepers on the Rue de Victor Hugo used to say that the town was situated on a bay shaped like a dilemma with a volcano on one horn and a tropical jungle on the other. He had got the phrase from an English correspondent who had wondered what the inhabitants would do if such a calamity as the present one ever occurred. The Englishman had noted the lack of roads leading from the town and the futility of any hope of escape. The town was built on the flat, narrow fore-shore that lay between the foot of the steep wooded mountains and the sea. The houses and shops were built down to the water's edge, and clustered in irregular groups about the Cathedral, which was situated directly opposite where the shilts lay in the roadstead, and was the most prominent architectural feature of the town. It was built of a whitish stone, and, with its two towers in which bells were hung, was sharply accentuated against the green background of the mountains. The water front of the town extended for nearly two miles along the gently curving coast. All the space back to the hills that shut in the town was filled with the low white houses of the people. Some twenty or twenty-five streets ran down from the hills to the water front. These were cut by irregular cross streets. The Rue de Victor Hugo was the principal thoroughfare. All of the best shops were located on it, and it served as a parade for the fashionnables when they made their appearance in the cool of the evening, arrayed in the white ducks, Panama hats and low-cut patient-leather shoes, and the women either in the year-old fashions of Paris or in the striking gavry colored native garb The Cathedral, the Opera House (where travelling companies played before enthusiastic audiences), the Hotel des Balus, and the banks were probably the largest and best built buildings in the town. French was the common language, and nearly all of the white people were of French extraction. It was a lovely place, and its people had some of the light spirit and gayety of their Gallic kinsmen. Always on coming into the harbor passengers noted the apparent freshness and cleanliness of the place. The white houses with their green blinds and tiled or thatched roofs, the gay striped awnings and vivid green of the background made a cool, pleasant picture. Ashore, the bright costumes of the native girls, the movement of the street life and the strangeness of the new scenes was a source of constant interest to tourists. The upper or new town was the most attractive part of the place. The streets were broader and cleaner and the buildings of a better quality. All of the streets were narrow, the principal one (the Rue de Victor Hugo) being scarcely wide enough to permit two carriages to pass abroad. Through every street ran an open gutter of water from the hills, and early in the morning, just when the cool dawn-wind was coming down from the mountains, these gutters would be alive with people. The native women would bring out their tall earthen jars, called "Welsh hats" by the resident Englishmen, to be filled with the cool flowing water. Babies were brought out and allowed to disport themselves, while their mothers cleaned the household utensils. The streams being fed from mountain lakes, cleanliness in dress and habitation was common, even among the lowest classes. Back from St. Pierre about eight miles, on a winding mountain road, was the fashionable native resort, Morne Rouge. Here the rich residents had their country homes, and it is probable that when the flood of fire, lava and ashes came down from Mont Peele these were among the first houses destroyed. In the season, which began about June 1, there were usually 4000 or 5000 persons at Morne Rouge. Probably half that number had gone out this year to open their villas. The people of St. Pierre were rather proud of their volcano. Mont Pelee stood first as a "point of interest" for tourists. There has always been plenty of evidence that life was not extinct in Mont Pelee, but the easy-going inhabitants believed that the volcano was in its dotage, and its occasional weak mutterings only gave it added value as a show place; the manifestations were never taken seriously. Not since the end of the eleighteenth century and again in 1851 had there been even weak eruptions. When the head of Mont Pelee blew off the inhabitants in the town below had no chance of escape. The burning lava, the ashes and mud and the fire came down the hills as the water had been coming down for hundreds of years, and the people below, were caught as fish in a net. The only way open was the sea, and that offered nothing but death by drowning. On the side of the town away from the vol- canc the tropical undergrowth came to within a few yards of the houses, and the beach ended at the city limits. There were no wharves or quays at St. Pierre, and really no harbor simply an open roadstead with deep water inshore. The island fisae sheer) from the sea; and there was no anchorage until the ships got within 300 feet of the buildings on shore. Skippers of sailing vessels would take their ships close in and anchor with bows pointing seaward and with a stern line out to steady the craft. They had to be alert during the rainy or stormy season, because of their exposed condition, and be ready to slip their anchors and run out to sea. According to the dispatches this is what the British steamer Roddam did when the town was destroyed. Though she had a full head of steam oh sevileeen of her crew were killed in rummelling out, and the vessel was partially wrecked. The sailing craft in the harbor didn't have a ghost of a chance to get away. There were usually from eighteen to twenty-five vessels in the harbor at this season of the year, anchored in a long line along the water front. What happened when the floods of fire and lava came down will be related later, but every one who knew the town and its people can easily imagine the genes of wild horror that must have been enacted when the excitable people realized that escape was impossible. The chief exports of Martinique are sugar, rum and cocoa. Owing to the low price of sugar, which has prevailed in recent months, the island has suffered very greatly. The island buys of the United States such articles as butter, patmeal, tobacco, vegetables, horses and hibules, coal, harness, wagons, machinery, etc. LIVES GROWING LONGER. Increase of 4.1 Years in the Last Decadec — Pneumonia the Chief Danger. People are growing healthier and lives are becoming longer in this country. If medical statistics can be relied on. According to figures published in the last week life has been lengthened by an average of 4.1 years in the last decade. In 1890 the average length of life in the United States was 31.1 years. In 1900 this mean average had risen to 35.2 years, chiefly by reason of the decrease in mortality among the very young. The three diseases which have caused the most deaths in recent years are pneumonia, consumption and heart disease, in the order named. Deaths from the first cause have increased slightly and medical science has made comparatively little progress in finding a specific treatment for it. Pneumothila is an infectious disease like tuberculosis. Although it is not so contagious as it are many other diseases, the sanitation of houses, schools, shops, factories, places of business and amusement, in medical opinion, undoubtedly determines to a great extent the vulnerability of the system to it. Neglect of the ordinary laws of health is responsible for many causes of pneumonia. Among personal measures suggested for its prevention are avoidance of undue exposure to ill-ventilated gatherings; temperance in eating and drinking, daily bathing and regular exercise in the open air with special reference to complete respiration. There is nothing better than systematic deep breathing while briskly walking out of doors. Making an Almanac: One of the most profitable publications of the world is an almanac. It hung fire for a long time until an accident caused a fire in its favor. In predicting what would happen in the Weather Department, a clerk, or assistant editor, said to the manager, "I've finished the year with the exception of one day. What shall we do with that?" "What is the day?" the manager asked. "Thursday, June 14." "Oh, say it will snow." The clerk did so, and thought no more about it until June 14 arrived and the snow fell. The miracle was the talk of all England, and when people discovered that the almanac had predicted it the demand for the publication was difficult to satisfy. The work has never been exactly right since, but its reputation survives. Its owners are capitalists. — New York Press. To Elll Naval Vacancies Japan, like the United States, is suffering from a shortage of naval officers, and has resolved upon the novel experiment of transsefring a considerable number of army officers to the naval service. These are to be selected officers from the Japanese army. They will be volunteers and must be specially recommended by their commanding officers. They are to be appointed to the navy on probation for two years, at the expiration of which they will be required to pass an examination in nautical and naval subjects, when, if successful, they will be permanently transferred to the navy. Koing Roosevelt Too Frisky. President Roosevelt does not believe in interfering with the pleasures of his children, but at a recent Cabinet meeting the youthful Kermit stalked boldly into the Cabinet room on stilts. "I guess that's about enough for you," said the President, as he arose and carried the youngster out, enjoining him never to interrupt again. Her Delicious Moments. The most delicious moments in the life of a housekeeper who prides herself upon being as clean as a pin are when she shudders and draws in her claw at the contemplation of a neighbor's dirt.—New York Sun. An instance of military thrift and of a red-tape system which is not peculiar to Germany comes from the Prussian war once. In 1866 the guards were breakfasting huffledly. They had, on the previous day, fought the battle of Soor, and had accomplished, altogether, a nine days' march. This was not the era of canned meats, and to each regiment had been allotted a certain number of cattle, which had been killed, skinned and cooked; but while the men were still eating, scouts came in with the news that the Austrians were near at hand. The men got into marching order, and in a few minutes were in rapid advance toward the enemy. The Grenadier Guards, conspicuous always for their dispatch, hurried to such purpose that they failed to secure the skin of a cow which had been made over to them for rations. When the official who was responsible for the value of the hide came to ask for it, it had to be reported missing. Inquiries were set on foot, evidence was collected, and a voluminous correspondence lasting fourteen or fifteen months failed to account for the skin. There had been a cow. She had been tech hide over to the guards. She had a hide. The hide was government property, representing a sum fixed by official tariff. The government must be credited with that sum. The hide was not forthcoming. Who should be responsible for its cash value? It was at last decided that the colonel of the regiment should be held accountable, and a year and a half after the conclusion of the Seven Weeks' War he was requested by the war office to remit the sum of three thalers, the price of one cow skin lost by the Grenadier Guards. When the sum was paid, the subject was at last officially dropped. THE ERA OF MILLIONS. The one time haughty millionaire To richer men must yield a place. And say he really doesn't care.
