The Fortification and Naval Appropriation Bills Occupy Attention of Senate and House Throughout Wednesday, Disappearing Gun Carriages Opposed— Naval Battle Line Weak. Washington, .May It.—During the greater part of the Senate session, to day, the fortification appropriation hiil was under consideration. Proctor of Vermont, offered an amendment providing that no part of the appropriation made should be used for procuring disappearing gun car riages. Tin* amendment precipitated a debate which continued for two hours and had not been concluded when the measure was laid aside for the day. Proctor led the fight against the dis appearing carriages, declaring that they never would he effective and that in actual v.ar it would be shown they were a lamentable failure. Perkins of California, warmly defend ed the war department in a lopting the disappearing carriages, maintaining that the hulk of the evidence upon the subject was in support of the carriages. For some time tile Senate had under consideration the hill providing for the construction of a union railway station in Washington. vote upon the meas ure will be taken, tomorrow. Soon after the Senate convened. to day, the conference report on the omni bus claims bill was called up. The House asked for a further conference, but instructed its conferees not to agree to the Selfridge board doings. liab- said he bad no doubt that the House had a right to instruct its con ferees as tl: House had thrown out ihcse claims by vote. The only remedy the House had was to instruct its con ferees. Hale said th House had a right to instruct its conferees, but the in structions sliouid not have been incor porated in the message to the Senate. That was an inadvertence, undoubt edly. Hoar thought the Senate ought eilhei to r cede from its amendments or drop tile bill. 'The Senate, he thought, ought not to yield its just and undoubted rights and ought to insist upon it free conference. To he otherwise would be to abandon the dignity of the Senate. After discussion of the matter t» 11.icon. A1 list it and Warren, the Sena.U agreed to a further conference. War ren, Teller and Mason being appointed us conferees. The fortifications appropriation bill was then taken up. The measure (tar ries appropriations aggregating $7.1*4*;. 1SU. Proctor, Vt.. offered an amendment providing that r.o part of the appro priation made- should he for construct ing or procuring disappearing gun car riages in implueements of magazines. At 2 o'clock the Philippine govern ment bill was called up, but was laid aside- in order that the fortifications bill might be completed. Proctor had read opinions of a large number of army officers, some in favor of and tit any opposed to disappearing carriages. Already, he said, about $3, i Ot'd-OO had been expended upon the car tinges and the aggregate appropria tions, direct and indirect would amount to $10,000,000. He did not believe that the disappearing gun carriage ever would prove effective. Proctor inputted of Warren what lie thought of the xporience of England. “England." replied Warren, “is as much behind in this matter of disap pearing gtfns. as she is in the march of industrial progress throughout the world.” "Or as she is in her army,” suggest ed Mason. "England has expended.” interrupted Harris, "an enormous amount of time and money in attempting to perfect a disappearing gun carriage operated by hydraulic pr> ssure, but she has not made a success of that form of car riage.” Perkins, Cal., in charge of the bill, opposed thp amendment offered by Proctor. He declared that the disap pearing carriages hud the support of the board of fortifications anil of the secretary of war. “I understand exactly the opposite,” said Pettus. Perkins insisted, however, that li was correct and gave an extended his tory of the disappearing carriage. Without reaching a vote on the amendment, the fortifications bill was laid aside and. consideration was re sumed of the bill providing for the con struction of a union railway station in Washington. At r>..io P. M.. the Senate adjourned after a brief executive session. IN THE HOUSE. There Is Need of Strengthening Our Naval Battle Line. Washington. March H.—The naval appropriation bill occupied the atten tion of the House throughout the day. Dayton of West Virginia, speaking on the need of strengthening our naval battle line, while Kitchin.

Castries, Island of St. Lucia, Tues day, May 13.—The correspondent of The Associated Press here, has visited St. Pierre, Martinique, by til- reliev ing st-amer Kenneth. The destruction there is appalling. Tile stri ets arc two feet dee]) in ashes and cinders, which cover thousands of dead bodies, scorch ed black and shiny is if they had been plunged into boiling pitch. Many of the dead were never touched by the volcanic fire and some of the houses and woodwork destroyed show no signs of burning. At Moudlage, in the southwestern portion of St. Pierre, the town ball is stil! standing as high as the fiist story, while at the fort, in the northwestern part of St. Pierre, the most massive stone work is calcined. The church tower, built by the Jesu its two centuries ago of cyclopean mason work, is now like a huge heap of old metal. Soldiers are guarding property from prowling ghouls who are robbing tip dead. They meet with tile most severe punishment when caught. The st'm h throughout SI. Pierre is terribly offensive. The streets are ob structed by huge pile of debris and •load bodies. The work of clearing the thoroughfares will necessitate the em ployment of large bodies of men foi many months. Moudnage Rouge, near St. Pierre, is preserved and Lasse l'ointe and Ma rimba are yet unhurt. But the crater is still active and smoke and ashes are blowing steadily northward. The sur viving inhabitants are trying to cross from St. Pierre to the island of Do minica in boats. Many drowning cas ualties are reported. Assistance is constantly arriving at Port do France from all the neighbor ing islands. It has just been officially reported that there were Ifi(M) dead up to Tues day at St. Vincent.

Some Rules for People of Seden tary Habits. ifow to Detect This Approaching Trouble and Nip It in the Bud. Sedentary habits cause kidney I roubles. People w ho are obliged to sit all day long, stenographers, telephone and telegraph operators, seamstresses, milliners, shoe makers, tailors, book keepers, clerks who land over a counter, engineers, lire men, omluctors, brakemeu, and others on .team a ltd electric railroads, are all more >r less affected with disease in the kid neys. Long hours in a sitting posture cramps the kidneys, bowels and other organs in the pelvic regions. You will liud that nearly everyone of these peo ple has constipation, and a great many more of them have kidney troubles anil don't know it. Often incipient Dright’s disease will fasten itself upon a person and the only indication of anything wrong that the layman can discern is a Slight aching or tired feeling across the small of the back. This goes unheeded because it in itself is apparently of no great consequence. Let tho knowing physician examine the water, when these symptoms are manifest, and he’ll find a clouded, discolored, albuminous fluid that tells as plainly as a picture that inside of theso delicate and important or gans there exists a condition of disease such as to need quick and powerful treat ment inorderto preserve them from decay and save the life of the owner. Always be on yonrguardfor the slightest pain orsore ncss across tho back. Don't let it go un heeded for at that very instant your kid neys may be in anawful condition. When healthy they perform an important func tion, that of filtering and purifying the liquids that pass into your system. They do it so carefully too that not tho most infinitesimal speck of foreign or disease breeding matter can get into the vitals of the body. White they are healthy, they do more toward keeping you well than any other organ of the whole anat omy. ,\Vhen they are impoverished and weak, unable to stand as tho barrier against disease, it’s like throwing down tho protecting walls and picket lines of a great city and letting the enemy, unin terrupted, walk in. Think of these prec ious organs becoming enfeebled through want of nourishment. Think of them instead of being plump, vigorous, heal thy, of being thin, lifeless, almost blood less, eaten full of holes and secretion, a pus that would inakeyou hold your nose, could you see it. Think of them in their struggling attempt to obey nature, pour ing this filthy and disgusting mass into your lungs, heart and everywhere over the body, on accountof their inability to eject it through the proper channels and out. of the system. 1 )oes th is appear to yon as being health ful? Yet you. though not suspecting it, may be in this very position. If you have a running sore on your arm, you would bathe it carefully with warm water to cleanse it, then tenderly cover it with some healing lotion. This much to protect it from the poisons in the air, and to assist your internal medicines to act more thoroughly. Your kidneys need washing as much as yourarm. You need to Hush out that pus and secretion and assist nature to restore healthy ac tion. You neeil something known to go direct to your kidneys through the blood and that has a healthy client. “Jilood Wine” will do this find so marked is its action on the kidneys that you can act ually feel it working on them within a few minutes after taking a dose. It gives 1 hem just the kind of bath they need and it heals up the sore. It takes away the smarting, burning, pain ful, dmgged-down, all-gone sensations, as if by magic. It takes sediments of all kinds out of the littlo nooks and corners where they lodge and cause brick dust, gravel, stone in bladder, inflammation, etc. If you have any of these troubles, or even if you have'any of theslightest symptoms of kidney disease, you ought to protect yourself. It is easier to pre vent than to cure any disease. A bottle of ‘‘Blood Wine,” costing fifty cents, will oftenstavooff a serious trouble, and spare the patient’s life, to say nothing of saving great expense and long suffering. Bead this expression of gratitude from a Worcester, Mass., woman, who has had an excellent chance to make a careful investigation of “Blood Wine.” Mrs. Ann P. Stocking says: yjs} Mils. Ass P. Stocking. “I live right hero in tlio city where ‘Blood Wine’ is made. I have seen with my own eyes the cures it lias effect ed all about me, and I have been cured myself of a very stubborn case of kidney disease. 1 suffered for several years, had all t he symptoms that ever accompanied such a trouble, and tried about every remedy recommended. ‘Blood Wine’ was the last. I took it only after being convinced that it was a truly womlrous medicine, and it cured me. I went to the Louis Daudelin Co. and volunteered this statement, because 1 knew them to bo honest, upright people and deserving of success. ‘Blood Wine’will cure any form of kidney disease and do it quickly and thoroughly. Anyone so affected should try this great medicine just as soon as they can get their hands on a bottle.” Co to yonr druggist and look into it carefully; read the literature and ascer tain for yourself just, what it w ill do.

Although in one sense Mr. Rhodes could not be said to entertain much during the three winter months when the Cape Parliament was sitting, and which he always spent at Groote Schuur, yet in another sense he never ceased to do so. Every meal found him at tile head of a table at which there was rarely a vacant seat, and every day brought its stream of in numerable callers who came to seek him for business or pleasure. Ail sons ana eonmuons 01 men—uuicnmrti and Englishmen, working mont sol diers from all countries, hunters bronzed from the interior—flocked to the grand mountain home, and lounged on the marble stoop, and, when night came, the Nicodemuses would creep out from the shadows for a private talk with the man whose mesmeric power over other men never failed.

Even in ordinary conversation, he was a fascinating talker, because he was a perfectly independent thinker, and, vhatever the subject, one was always sure of hearing something fresh and original regarding it. Though brimful of information on almost every subject, vet he never talked above the heads of his guests, and was full of the little everyday events of life which go to make up the sum of most people’s ex perience. Every now and again, however, a half-finished sentence or sudden word would reveal the man as he was, and one realized ho.v completely he was ruled by the great dominating idea of his life and how, day by day and hour by hour, he dreamed his dream: By heath, and cliff and pine, Of Empire to the northward, aye, one land l-'ri m I .ion’s Head to I.ine.

Vagaries of Speech. Have you ever noticed hrnv certain per sons affect certain words ami then say them over and over, never realizing that they have the slightest approach to a mannerism—or so.. chistn. maybe that describes it better? A girl here in town says ‘and by the way exactly every two minutes ami naif. She lires off this phrase as regu larly as though it were shells and her voeal cords a repeating rille, and it mak s "just fancy” until her friends are ie diiced to a nervous collapse.

If she ha I been in New York when the big subway i xplosion occurred and had been blown a high as the tower of Madison Sipiare Gai den there are friends of hers who say that she would haVe had nothing mot forcible to utter as she descended tha "just fancy. The people, too, who say “don't you know” at short intervals are legion. There are dozens of them who never have any idea that they use this unmeaning interrogation, and are astonished or in dignant when their attention is calh-d to the fact that almost every other word i followed by it. One very fastidious father of a l'nmilj on the Hast Side has a way of saying: "it's a beautiful day. don't you know.” "These eWops are partlealarli nice, don't you know.” and only day before yester day he was overheard reproving bis daughter, a girl of IT or IS. for doing iden tically the same thing. "You say 'don t you know.' Helen, al together too much, don't you know,” lr remarked. It's a very inelegant and foolish habit, and I wish von d try t break yourself of it. don't von know, and when she began to laugh hysterically he felt very huffy about it and never saw the joke at all. Another woman iriond says “chaotic" at least a thousand times a dav. and ev erything is in that blissful stub to her twenty-four hours out of the ttventv four. Still another gays “foolish” and everything from pictures to pies is de scribed by this adjective. There are dozens of vagaries of speech one might add to these few examples, fo: almost every individual has some m i word or set of words that he wea. threadbare by constant use, but to the observant soul the-a; will be recognized as the ones most frequently heard. __ Apostle of Kindness.

My chief mo tive. my most earnest underlying wish, has been to stop the extermination of harmless wild animals: not for their sakes, but for ours, firmly believing that ui’h of our native wild, creatures is ii itself a precious heritage that we have no right to destroy or put beyond the reach of our children.

NIXON RESIGNS. Gives Up His Attempt to Rule Tammany Hall. The Leaders Refused to Give Him a Vote of Confidence And Plainly Intimated That He Had Better Get Out. Now York, May 14.—Lewis Nixon, leader of Tammany Hall for nearly six months, resigned his position as leader, today, at a meeting of the district lead ers. held in Tammany Hall. While the resignation was not entire ly unexpected, it was not thought that Mr. Nixon would take such positive ac tion until a later date, first waiting the action of the leaders to see if they would give him a vote of confidence. instead of this, they refused to allow any vote of confidence and Nixon said he would no longer retain his self-re spect if he remained as leader. The meeting of the district leaders was called at t*?e solicitation of Mr. Nixon, who sent telegraphic messages to all of the thirty-seven, Tuesday night. This action of Mr. Nixon, fol lowed a deadlock at the meeting of ih“ sachems of the Tammany Hall Society, Monday, when Nixon's intention of re taining Thomas L. Feitner as grand sachem was frustrated by a tie, there being six of the sachems of the thir teen for and six against the retention, the thirteenth, George C. Clausen, being absent. The action of that time caused a gen eral discussion of the possibilities of Mr. Nixon losing control of the organi zation and the combination headed by John J. Carroll ousting him. Mr. Nixon, in an interview on Tuesday sai I If he could not have the confidence of the leaders, he would "get out," and this threat has been carried into effect. When Mr. Nixon arrived at Tammany Hull, today, till the thirty-seven leaders were present. As soon as the meeting bad been called Mr. Nixon arose and said: “Gentlemen, I have decided to resign as the leader of Tammany Hall. This resignation is absolute and positive and will not be withdrawn. I wish it to take effect immediately. I feel that 1 cannot retain mvself-respect and still remain the leader of Tammany Hall. My decision is unalterable.” There was a moment's silence when Mr. Nixon had finished. Then Col. Michael C. Murphy made a very com plimentary speech in praise of Mr. Nixon. He did not say. however, that he wished him to remain as leade*-. He said that Mr. Nixon had done splen did work as the leader and he had the confidence of all the leaders. Mr. Nixon jumped to his feet ns soon as Col. Murphy had finished, and said "I do not desire any vote of confidence,' whatever." He immediately left the room, fol lowed by an outburst of handclapping. Once outside the meeting room Mr. Nixon would only say to the newspaper men: "I am out ns the leader of Tammany Hall. I am out of politics and am glad of it. 1 will dev ite my time to my busi ness of shipbuilding and will talk about that by the hour, hut I will not talk about politics hereafter. The cause of my resignation is plain. 1 could have won out and elected Mr. Feitner grand sachem, but I would not appeal to Mr. Cr >k> r.” Mr. Nixon was then driven away from Tammany Hall in a cab. Following the departure of Mr. Nixon several of the leaders remained for some time in groups chatting about the resignation and the possible develop ments. It was announced that a meet ing of the executive committee of dis trict leaders will he held, Thursday, at which lime Mr. Nixon's resignation will be acted upon. CHICAGO'S LOST CHANCE. An Extraordinary Codicil to Palmer’s Will in Certain Contingencies. Chicago. May 17.—With the filing the will of the late Potter Painter is made public an exceptionally interesting codicil relating to a remarkable project by which Chicago would have been much bonefitted in certain contingen cies. When the deceased and his fami ly was leaving for a. trip abroad about four years ago the testator contemp lated the emergency that they might all meet death together in some disas ter. in mis nveni Mr. runner ])roviu«Hi that one-hay of his estate should so to establish an Immense peoples' palace where free opportunity should be given to the people of Chicago for en tertainment and recreation and for physical, mental and moral develop ment through lectures and classes, and for instruction in the nature of our po litical Institutions and the duties of citizenship and in the arts and sciences.. The rest he bequeathed in equal pro portions to his collateral heirs and Mrs. Palmer's collateral heirs. But there is no suggestion in the will that this scheme will be now carried out.

The cheers were deafening. Davis was up and a hit meant the tying of the score. He was equal to the emer gency and placing his broad shoulders against the sphere sent one sizzling be tween shortstop and third base, scoring Holmes. The score was tied and cheers were deafening. Hut one man was out; Carr was on third, with Mitchell at bat. A long hit meant a score and a single score probably meant the winning of the game. Mitchell braced and the ball went soaring heavenward, seemingly good for two bases. Moody in center field, by a long, hard run placed him self under it. At the instant the ball struck Moody's hands Carr started for home and the winning run had been made before the ball was returned. This clinched the game for Maine, for Larabee retired the side by putting an easy one to Towne, who threw him out at first. Dates was unable to score throughout the rest of the game. The score: r.

Tho I'astle Square Stork appeared in the Opera house, last evening, for the third time this week and played id i small house, presenting "In the Trenehes." Arthur Evans, the leading man in the company, did not appear. l>ut his place at the head of the cast was taken by Harry Iceland in an able manner. I>ick Ryan, played by Oxon M. Dunn, was worthy of praise. Mr. Russell made a dignified appearance as ems worth while to offer a review if J the comedian's facetious and felicitous f career. I As in ihe case of several other comic opera stars, "H. M. H. Pina fore" was responsible for his initial appearance 1 liyfoic the footlights. He played Dick Doadevi* ill one of the innumerable 1 juvoni!" "Pinafore" companies that toured the country when the Gilbert and Sullivan opera was in the tirst Push of its success. Some of Daniels' lot a! admirers may recall him in this earliest of his impersonations. It is said .hat he was intensely funny in his methods even at that early stage of his 'career. From "Pinafore” Daniels iav 11.) 1 cd to farcical comedy, appear ing with a combination known as At Pinson's .1 illities, in a piece called "The i Electrical Doll." The theme of the play was almost identical with Au 1 drab’s famous Parisian success, "Da Pounce" which more recently has be i ime familiar to American audiences l uni- r the title of “Papa's Wife.” Mr. i Daniels toured not only this country, j hut the length and breadth of Great Britain, and established an interna tional reputation as a highly clever eccentric comedian through his droll impersonation of Christopher Twitt in "The Electrical Doll." It was in this character that Daniels happened to come under the eye of Charles H. II lyt, then the dramatic critic of the Boston Post, and a budding playwright, whose ambitions had al ready assumed Napoleonic propor j lions. Mr. Hoyt had written a farce I call 'd "A Rag Baby" and he believed thal Daniels was the precise in dividual to give life and vitality to the principal character, “Old Sport." Mr. Hoyt was tight in the choice of u comedian. Daniels scored an in stantaneous hit as “Old Sport," and his song. "Let Me Shake the Hand that Shook the Hand of Sullivan." was sung from one end of the continent to the other. So emphatic was Mr. Daniels' suc cess in a "Rag Baby," and so numer ous a clientele of admiring theatre goers did he acquire, that when after several seasons he went starring on his own account in "Little Puck," he easily took position in the front rank of contemporaneous comedy. After appearing as "Little Puck" un til he had not only tired of the role, but was fearful that his friends would likewise ltecnme weary of it. he cast about for a change of vehicle: and it was at this stage of his career that he chanced to make so pronounced a hit in comic,opera, that he at once de cided to continue this line of enter tainment. The hit in question was in tho part of Shrimps,in Willard Spen cet's successful "Princess Bonnie." then at the height of its popularity, ft was Mr. .1. G. G. Duffy, a Philadelphia dramatic writer, who suggested Daniels as the new incumbent of the I role of Shrimps. After accepting the part. Daniels evinced his talent by making an altogether new creation of it. and it was a delicious comedy and diverting stage business" with which PERUNAl CURES CATARRH Or STOMACH.BOWELS.KIDNEYS AND FEMALE ORGANS.

Important Ruling on the Standing of Foreign Stockholders. The following important rescripts have been handed down from the Maine law court: Androscoggin case. James A. Pulsi fcr. administrator, vs. Henry Green. Rescript by Powers, ,1. The double liability impost d by the constitution and statutes of Kansas up on stockholders in corporations or ganized under the laws of that state, though statutory in its origin, is con tractual in its nature. As such it is not local hut transitory: and a creditor of the corporation, who has obtained a judgment against i’. in Kansas, may maintain an action in the courts of this State against a stock holder residing here to enforce his lia bility under such contract. The stockholder is bound by the con tract into which he entered when he accepted his stock; and where by the laws of the state under which the cor poration was organized he is liable se verally and individually, and not joint ly and ratably, he cannot object that his fellow-stockholders are not joined with him as defendants, or that it will lie difficult for him to force contribu tion from them. If the same statute of a foreign state which creates the remedy prescribes the time within which an action must be brought, the period of limitation becomes a part of the right itseif, and at its expiration the right is extingish ed. If, however, the period of limitation is not prescribed by the same statute which confers the right, hut is found in a general statute of limitations of the foreign state, it becomes a law re lating to the remedy, and has no extra territorial force. The statute invoked by the defendant is a part of the general statute of limi tations of the state of Kansas. It is not an integral part of the light itlelf, which goes with it everywhere that the right is sought to he enforced. It ap plies only when the remedy is sought in Kansas, and cannot follow the right beyond the bounds of that state. Judgment for plaintiff for $100 and interest front date of writ. Androscoggin case.

POMPEII. Its Terrible Destruction 1823 Years Ago. A Parallel to the Destruction of St. Pierre, Interesting Excavations Made in the Buried City. The desti tu tion of Pompeii 1823 years forms but a meagre parallel to the ilestruction of St. Pierre, last week, though it has till now been the most sudden ait'l awful disaster of its kind in the history of the world. While no a*curate estimate of the huinher of lives destroyed with the burying of Pompeii under the terrific shower of dust and ashes from Vesuvius can he made, the fact that the number of bodies so far recovered is under four hundred and the size of ihe ity indicate a much smaller popu lation than that of St. Pierre. Pompeii is situated on the shore of the J’.av of Xaples, within a very short distune e of 1 he foot of Mount Vesu vius. At the time of its burial it was a lov.it of Campania. As a town of the living ii had no great reputation except ns a. resort for I'>f that region, had a very mix'd population. A seaport towu.il was cosmopolitan to a degree. I is origin is quite unc ertain, but it passed in and out of the possession of many nations liefer** ii was finally con ipiered by the Unmans after a long siege in R9 It. Before tile end of tile republic T’otn 7*. d became the suburban home of many of thn Homan nobles, who built beautiful villas in the neighborhood and greatly popularized the city among people of high degree. Cicero was one prominent occasional resident and his letters frequently mention with en thusiasm his villa there. L'nder the Homan Umpire the same custom continued and during the first century of the Christian era it was a flourishing plact with a considerable population. Only two historic events arc record ed of ffie city during this period. Th>* fiist was a tight in the amphitheatre between visitors from the neighboring colony of Nuccriy and Hie citizens of I'ompeii, in which many were killed and wounded. As a result of this all gladiatorial and theatrical exhibitions were prohibited there for ten years. This was ill 59 A. I>. Ppitr years later the city was prac tically destroyed by earthquake. All 1 ii.- neighboring towns were injured by this disturbance, but l’ompeti was the most severely affected. Most of the public buildings and very many of the private residences were destroyed 1|1' so body injured that they had to be re built. This w ml of restoring the city was actively under way when, in a day. the whole life of the city was wiped out and tin* very location of the flourishing lit11. colony was lost to remain so for n my centuries. In 79 A. IVesuvius, which had been slumbering for unknown ages, suddenly burst into terrific eruption. Vast masses of *-arth and ashes were thrown into the ir and fell in a great shower over the surrounding country and lava spouted from the mountain's ,.,ater. The whole country was violent ly disttn lieil. Devastation was wrought all around the shores of the beautiful gulf and ihe two itics of Herculaneum and Pompeii w*ie completely buried under dens** masses of cinders and ashes. The cities were destroyed in some what different manner, however. Over Herculaneum there came a solid mass of volcanic tufa that obliterated it. I'poll Pompeii there fell from eighteen to twenty feet of cinders, small stones and ashes thrown out by the volcano, f Ii has been clearly established that this was all done by one eruption, though there Bro two distinct strat i, the lower one of the stones and heaviet materials and the upper f fine white ash. which is often consolidated by the action of water. The devastation was at least so slid i don that the inhabitants hart no onance to escape. They were caught like rats in a trap in their houses, in the streets atiifci in public buildings. Only a few blind people, familiar by the sense of feeling, were able to make their escape, the city being covered, it is believed, with a pall of blackness like the dark est night. People were overcome at their work and fell where the> stood. Soon their bodies were covered with the line ashes. As decay set in these .ashes absorbed the liquids and a sort Of petrefaetiou took place. In many Cases a shell was formed from which nn accurate mould of the bodies could be cast. Some of the Roman soldiers, standing on guard, did not desert their posts and were slowly buried alive. Their re mains are found today where they died standing at attention, almost os un moving as the shells of their bodies have been through the long centuries. So entirely did this coating hide the city that its very site was forgotten and ancient topographers looked in vain for it. There were important changes in the topography of the country that helped to make its loca tion difficult, and it was not till 174S that it was accidentally discovered that tin1 vineyards and mulberry grounds of the modern Italy covered the buried city at a point near the foot of the mountain. Herculaneum had been discovered before this, but, ow ing to the nature of its burial, its re mains were infinitely less perfect and harder to get at than those of Pompeii. Systematic exploration of the latter tity began in 1755, though the work was not regular in character or scien tifically thorough until the first years of the present century, when the J''reru h Oovernmcnt began to take part fn the work. The uork of uncovering this ancient city is still under way. Ii has of late years been under the direction of Sip. Fiorelli. anil has been very carefully an'l thoroughly done. Photography has given important aid anrl a very accu rate and complete idea of the ancient city is now at the service of all. 'The town was irregularly oval in shape and was situated on a small ele vation about a mile from the outer tone of Vesuvius, the hill evidently created by a previous outpouring of lava from the volcano. Before the great eruption its base was laved by the water of the bay. but the town is today more than a mile inland. The city was surrounded by a lurreted wall, which is still preserved and was quite tegular in its plan, the generally narrow streets being neatly all straight and running at right angles. Only about two-fifths of the whole town has bet-11 excavated, but the ex cavations undoubtedly cover the1 most (important parts and are sufficient to give a pretty exact estimate of the en tire c ity. The architectural and art remains that have been disclosed on the site of Pompeii are of remarkable interest and much beauty. They have given the world u pic ture of the life of eighteen c enturies ago that was Impossible be fore-. The decorations of the houses, the works of sculpture-, the public buildings, the baths, theatres, forum and amphi-tln atre, a hundred phases of that ancient life have been brought to light ill a wonderfully tine state of preservation. K\-n the bodies of the terrified inhabitants have been in a hundred of instances so preserved by 1 he peculiar alkali covering that even ihejr features were accurately pre served. No documents hate yet been found in tho ruins, though some in scriptions have, but the whole city is a document of inestimable value and in terest. and itself tells a thrilling story of the terrific- tragedy that blotted out its busy life in an hour. WORLD OF LABOR. The Ohio legislature passed a police and tire pension bill. Marion, Ind., chain workers won af ter nine weeks' strike. Chicago bricklayers now get cents an hour. In New York they are paid 65 cents. Massachusetts house of representa tives last week passed the bill making eigtit hours the limit on all city work. Mr. Alulock has introduced a bill in (he Canadian legislature providing for c ompulsory arbitration in cases of rail way labor disputes. Toronto coal drivers have succeeded in getting their wages advanced to 17 c ents an hour for double-team drivers, and 15 cents for single teams. Florence, Colo.. unions have organ ized a building assoc iation and incor porated under State laws. The pur pose is to erect a line tvfti-story build ing for store and lahorwrieeting uses. The Philadelphia* »rnited Labor League lost its American, federation of Labor charter. A new -organization, controlled by tin* Council of Allied Building Trades, will probably replace it. Kt. Louis tent and awning makers went on strike a few days ago and were out only one day. The bosses signed the- new scale, which-calls for $15 a week for skilled labor and $12 a week lor helpers. Toronto iron tnolders won in their de mands for higher wages without hav ing to resort to a strike, and now have a clear Held for making preparations for the international convention to be held there in Tune. Samuel -Compels, president of the American Federation of Labor, has issued it circular tf the wage-earning community. At the- last session of the Kentucky legislature there was passed a child labor bill fixing the age limit at four teen years, a factory inspection bill providing for two .factory inspectors, the legali sation of Labor day as a legal holiday, repeal of the turnpike law. «c iwi%ucck pay mu lyr^iuiM'in, aim a compulsory cxinutmtion law for bar bers. Karine. Wis... has been struck by a housemaid famine, and the persons who employ housemaids are puzzled as to how they are going to overcome the condition without doing their own work. The cause of this state of af fairs is the old one of the girls going to work in the fact Varies, where they can earn $4 or $ii a week and have their evenings and Sundays to themselves. One thousand mfnMers. pressers. blasters, and laborers in five brick and terra cotta worlds at Cheltenham, near St. l.ouis, are dpt on a strike. The skilled men struclMut of sympathy for the laborers, who demanded an in crease in wages of 15 cents a day. Though grievances are so far confined to the laborers, officials of the firm anticipate that the skilled employes will soon pro se n t •‘>f the threatening trouble with the chimney trust. The possibilities which it un folds are limitless, and they might well claim the attention of students of economic conditions. The new scale of the A. F. i!. W. t\ for the chimney branch does not go into effect until September 10, but a fight seems in evitable, and both sides are preparing. VOLCANOES. Famous and Disastrous Erup tions of History. The Terrible Havoc Raised in Tropic Lands. Some Active After a Sleep ©f Many Centuries. Volcanoes and earthquakes have al ways been the most dreaded by hu manity of all calamities that could be fall a community. The causes pro ducing the two geological disturbances so prolific of fear and terrible havoc I are practically the same. They result inom the fact that the interior of this globe is still intensely hot. radiating heat into space and consequently con tracting hi bulk. Portions of molten rock are from time to time ejected and sudden seismic disturbances occur which cause destruction like that at St. Pierre from volcanic eruptions, or the earthquakes which have recently killed hundreds of people in several of the Ventral American countries. Poring the existence of this world many important geographical changes have been made .through this natural phenomena. Scientists have found traces of this in many quarters of the globe where there have been no heavy earthquakes or volcanic eruptions for ages and ages. Volcanoes range in size from a diminutive cone to a huge mountain. In both cases they are formed from material -vhich has been belched torth from the earth's in terior. They can break through any kind of geological formation, anti have come" through granite of immense depth, and also through Silurian rock, such instances of their awful power Vicing demonstrated by extinct vol canoes that have been discovered in France and Scotland. Those known as Ktoa and Vesuvius emerged from be neath soft marine strata. They are generally classed as active, dormant and extinct. In many cases, however, it is impossible to distinguish the latter twp. and many that have re mained quiescent for hundreds of cen turies have been known to suddenly break forth in the most violent manner. Pitch a one was Sornena. which after being dormant almost beyond time im memorial. became active in the first century of the Christian era anil ulti mately produced Vesuvius. The latter in 73 A. D. vomited forth lava and deadly gases in such gigantic volume and so rapidly that the inhabitants of the city of Pompeii and several other adjacent towns were destroyed as were the people of St. Pierre. But Pelee. the volcano which so quickly ended St. Pierre and its people, was another one which was always considered extinct. Alt. Epomeo. on the island of Ischia, furnishes another illustration of the uncertainties of these dread creatures of the earth's hidden mysteries. It re mained dormant for about seventeen centuries and then, in 11102. burst forth with the utmost violence. In operation a volcano emits gases, vapors, ashes, boulders and lava. Sometimes the acids are as destructive to life as is the lava and ashes. The crator of Idjen, a volcano in Java, turned loose a huge lake of acid water, which, rushed down the mountain side, and the poisonous properties of the liquid caused widespread destruction among human beings, cattle and birds. The ashes sent forth by a volcano are gen erally so line that they will penetrate a house through the smallest cracks and crevices. They are generally so hot that the inhalation of the smallest amount will cause death. Ashes have been known to fall over a country cov ering a radius within 160 miles of the volcano fiom which they were dis charged. That occurred when Vesu vius broke loose in 1622. On another occasion, when the f'ose quina volcano in Nicaragua became eruptive in 1835 utter darkness pre vailed within a circle of thirty-five] miles, and eight miles away they cov ered the ground to a depth of ten feet. Four days later some of the ashes, which had been caught in an upper ait current, fell at Kingston. Jamaica. 700 miles away. Huge stones have been spnl hurling through space for great distances by volcanoes in violent activity. Many were found in the ash es which buried Pompeii. A volcano at Antuco. t'hili. is said to have sent stones thirty-six miles, and Cotopaxi is said to have hurled a 200-ton boulder nine miles. aioueii ihvh run i ukii nmi 'i n mountain side at a faster rate than i mile an hour. After it stops flowing a crust will form over the top of the bed. which becomes hard and coot, white the body of it will retain a fiery heat for years. When Mnuna T.oa, the terror-creat ing volcano of Hawaii, had its awful eruption in 1852, it belched forth a solid fountain of lava which was 1,000 feet wide and spouted 900 feet into the air. Other fiery fountains of the same i ountry have been known to perform similar feats and have continued to do so uninterruptedly for several weeks. The output from one of them traveled fifteen miles in two hours and con tinued to creep along for months, de stroying everything in its path. Lava i. as variable in its moods after set tling down on top of the earth as it is in getting there. Sometimes it quick ly becomes good soil, while on othet occasions it always remains barren. As rule, volcanoes are located on moun tain ranges in the neighborhood of the sea. Most of the oceanic Islands are volcanic. Very seldom is a volcano found far inland, and when it is so sit uated it is generally in the vicinity of a luke or where a body of water has at some time existed. The largest ones are on the Hawaiian Islands. In ages past their terrible upheavals must have convulsed the world. Beside them. Vesuvius, which has a base circumfer ence of thirty miles, is a pigmy. The largest volcano in America is Popocatapeti. in Mexico. It rises to a height of 19,643 Spanish feet above the sea level ;\nd the circumference of the crater is 14.009 feet. For many years it was dormant, but in 1S94 it spit a little fire and created a great deal ot fear. Since that time it has been quiet. In the 1‘nited States the most immense volcano is Mt. Rainier, near Tacoma. Wash. It is more than 15,000 feet high and is supposed to be extinct. Volcanoes on the American contiiicnl mihI contiguous islands have never caused any enormous sacrifice of life through eruptions since white men set tled the country until the .St. F'ierie oc currence. There are a large number that have always caused more or less uneasiness, however, Enough their tendency to break out. and not a few in Mexico. tVnlral and South America have caused tile deaths of considerable numbers of people. On islands in the Pacific, China, Japan and many Asiatic and European countries the loss from this cause has reached an enormous aggregate. The most violent disturbance ever known to have resulted from an eruption was that which destroyed Krokatoa. an is land in the Straits of Sutnia, on Aug. "7, 1N8:5. It was also the most disas trous itt the destruction of life since Pompeii was buried until St. Pierre was destroyed. The explosion buried tin* island anti aimui inhabitants at the bottom n this continent they have been most disastrous on the Pacific coast, in Mexico, and the coun tries south of it. Below is a list of the greatest disas ters from this cause during a period covered by mediaeval and subsequent history. Catania Cilicia Naples Lisbon Lisbon Naples Sohanaiki. Russia Sicily Jeddo. Japan Abruzzi. Italy _ Algiers China Lima. Peru 0 lost their lives from the same cause in Mexico and other South Ameri* an countries during the past few months.

The fifth degree was con ferred on six candidates. The ciueslion discussed during the women's half hour was, "Sunday amusements, are they a benefit to th« country'." It was opened by Mrs. Harlan Brown of Norway, and talked over by a number of ladies. Dinner was served to about two hun dred people. Music was furnished by the Hebron male quartet, and was highly appre ciated, as was also a reading given by a lady of the Hebron Orange. Frank Starbird of Paris, read a ser mon on the text, “Old Mother Hub hard went to the Cupboard.” it was a very amusing and interesting effort and he was heartily applauded. A paper on ••Success'’ was read by Mrs. Harlan Brown of Norway. This brought out many good points. The question, "Is it a benefit for a young man to take a short course at a university?” was opened by Henry Hammond of Paris. State Lecturer Thompson, Samuel King and others all spoke in the affirmative, and gave good reasons for their opinions. It was decided to choose a committee to decide where meetings should be held for a year. It was also thought best to confer the fifth degree oply about four times in a year as it took up so much time to confer it at every meeting, and to have the meetings where it was to be conferred in the several sections of the county so all could readily attend at some one of these meetings during the year. The next meeting will be with Fred erick Bobie Grange at Otisfield Gore, the first Tuesday in June. There will be no meeting in July. In August the meeting will be at Buckfleld; in Sep tember at Bolster's Mills; in Octobei at Waterford. CASTOXIXA. Bean the A Th» Kind You Have Always Boigig THE CELEBRATED H. N.

Boothby, general passenger agent of the Maine Central, from whom it may lie obtained. In a certain tonsorial establishment in this city there hangs from the steel ceiling a long and attractive looking cobweb that has graced the aforesaid ceiling for several years. As the cus tomers recline ill the chairs of this shop and gaze upuard this cobweb, meets their gaze. Tliere it hangs, like the Prophet's mystic tomb, and no per son yet had the temerity to remove the same. The proprietor of the shop of course, will say that he is not super stitious and then in the next breath he will tell you that that cobweb is left there because it brings good luck to the place, for three years it lias occupied its present position, the pride of the boss and the joy of the brush boy. When Hie door is opened and a draft of air conics in it Waves back and forth like the pendulum to a clock. Of course it attracts attention, and many questions are asked concerning it; but still it stays tliere. and its inhabitants live and thrive and have their being undisturbed and unmolested. According to Prow’s Rural In telligencer, dated July 10, 1S56, the hoys of Augusta sought to have a royal time celebrating the Fourth of July that voar. Shortly after midnight they set tire to l!ev. Mr. Tappan's barn, located on Slate street, opposite the present Monument park, and before the flames could be subdued it was totally des troytd. The South Parish church was set on fire, but only slight damage re sulted. In the evening a big display of fire works was given on Winthrop street near Sevvall street, and crowds of people witnessed the show. This part of the day's celebration was in the hands of ’harles K. Partridge, the well known Augusta druggist, and Joseph Noble, now of Washington, P. C. These boys raised the money to purchase the fireworks by a popular subscription, and gathered about Sl’00 for the object. The only thing that happened to mar the success of this part of the celebration was the fact that "Master Charles Partridge, who conducted the pyrotechnics, was con Isiderably burned by a premature ex plosion.” Mr. Partridge well remem bers the day and states that he has often heard the names of the boys said to have been concerned in the (Ires of that day. but he did not know anything about them himself, as he was at home asleep at the time they broke out. THE PRESIDENT Of the City Council, Wilkcsbarre, Pa., Cured of Rheumatism. Col. Win. J. Harvey, a president of Wilkesbarre's city council, who will long be remembtred for his great work for the city, was once a mere physical wreck, torn in every muscle and nerve from the frightful pains caused by rheumatism. He consulted the best physicians, went abroad, took mud baths, and almost every known treatment for the disease. One of the city officials had had a very similar experience and I>r. David Kennedy's Favorite ltemedy had cured him, so he recommended this great kidney medi cine to his friend, and Col. Harvey is today a well man, hale and hearty. In his own abrupt way he states his case: Dr. David Kennedy, Dear Sir:—This to certify that I was permanently cured of rheumatism by the use of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. WM. J. HARVEY. Nothing could be more direct or more to the point than this simple state ment. Rheumatism is but another name for uric acid poisoning which is caused primarily by diseased kidneys. Cure your kidneys and the rheumatism dis appears. For all diseases of the kidneys, liver, bladder and blood, rheumatism, dys pepsia and chronic constipation, as well as sicknesses peculiar to women. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is unquestionably the greatest medicine known to the medical profession. All druggists sell Dr. David Kenne dy's Favorite Remedy in the New 50 Cent Sine and the regular $1.00 size bottles. Sample bottles—enough for trial, free by mail.

A lively and what was thought to have been a serious runaway happened, Wednesday afternoon, when a horse belonging to T. S. Johnson made a 2.10 spurt up street. Mr. Johnson was at work at Alphonso Potters' and his horse was hitched, attached to the wagon with no bridle on. The horse became frightened, supposedly at a passing train and breaking the halter dashed up the River road and up Water street. A little boy was sitting on the car riage at the time the horse started and had no time to get out and was hold ing onto the dasher or fender for dear life. The horse tried to turn the cor ner at Beane's drug store, where he collided with a heavily loaded cart and the wagon was thrown side way onto the bicycle buggy of Dr. Strout's, that was hitched near that place. The boy was thrown heavily to the pavements and the large crowd that was by this time gathered thought he mu3t have been seriously injured. But he got up and seemed to be none the worse from his narrow escape. The horse freed himself from the carriage at this point and continued on his wild dash up the Causeway and wits stopped somewhere in Karmingdale. One of the shafts on Mr. Johnson's wagon was broken and that was about till the damage. The horse was not injured and a few minutes afterwards the boy was over his scare. It was pronounced by those who witnessed it to be almost a miracle that the littie fellow was not injured. HALLOWELL. F. K. Beane made a business trip to Port la r.d, Wedliesda y. J. K.

"Hallowell has a large floating popula tion, and particularly is this fact notice able. at this time,” said a citizen, yes terday. "Many are called by the flour ishing granite industries, and perhaps only remain for a short period when a seemingly more advantageous location is sought elsewhere. Granite cutters are it. demand from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and some of the workmen may be con sidered continental travelers, having worked in all parts of the country.” "Augusta and Gardiner may well feel proud of their fast and well bred horses but we do not want them to forget Hal lowed. for there ate several good ones here, and last and not least a promising four-year-old,” said a wed known local horse man, yesterday. “A nice bay, stands 1514 hands, weighs flSO, has a clean open gait and steps high at both ende. His sire was ‘Nelsonoe,’ 2.27. lfiji hands, weight 1275, good for 2.17; he by Nelson 2.09. The dam of this colt was by 'i'oung Dirigo,’ by ‘Old Dirigo,’ afterward ‘George B. McLellan,' 2.2G, and sold tc Capt. Sanford of Bangor for $7000, in 1801. This colt is owned by Cushman Walker, the wed known blacksmith of this city, and wiil certainly be heard from in the near future. "it will do a horse man good to call and see him” continued the Journal’s informant, "for we think he is without doubt the best 4-year-old In Kennebec county.” Lecture Association's Officers.
