F O L L O W IN G M A N Y E A R T H Q U A K E S Mountain Labored to Rid Itself of a M a s s of Molten Lava W h ich Later Ran Down the Hill Side In Six Stream s — Crater Is Still Active. 500 Reported Dead. Kingston, Island of St. Vincent, B. W. I. 1 ., Saturday, May 10 .— After num erous earthquakes, during the preced ing fortnight, accompanied by sub terranean noises in the direction of the Soufriere volcano in northwestern part of the island, a loud explosion oc curred Monday last from the crater. The water in the crater lake ascend ed in a stupendous cloud of steam and exploded heavily. The noises grew louder continually till Wednes day morning when the old crater, three miles in circumference, and the new crater formed by the last erup tion, belched smoke and stones, forc ing the residents of Wallibou and Richmond valley, beneath the volcano, to flee to Chateau Belair for refuge. The thunderous noises, continually increasing, were heard in neighboring islands 2U0 miles away. At midday the craters ejected enor mous columns of steady vapor, rising majestically eight miles high and ex panding into wonderful shapes, re sembling enormous cauliflowers, gi gantic wheels and beautiful flower forms all streaked up and down and crosswise with vivid flashes of light ning, awing the beholder and impress ing the mind with fear. The mountain labored to rid itself of a mass of mol ten lava which later flowed over, in six streams, down the side of the vol cano and the greater noises following united in one great continuous roar all evening and through the night to Thursday morning, accompanied with black rain, falling dust, attended with midnight darkness all Wednesday, cre ating feelings of fear and anxious sus pense. On the morning of Friday there was a fresh eruption and ejection of fiery matter, more dust covering the island in some places two feet deep. The crater is still active as this dis patch is sent and great loss of life is believed to have occurred. The lava has destroyed several districts with their live stock. People are fleeing to tills town, streams are dried up and In many places food and water famine is threatened. The government is feeding numbers of sufferers. Great physical changes have taken place in the neighborhood of the Soufriere. Several districts have not yet been heard from and the scene of the erup tion is unapproachable. Every hour brings sadder news. The nurses and doctors are overworked. It is impos sible to give full details at present. As a result of the disaster on this Is land all business has been suspended for three days. The public mind Is still unsettled, fearing further disaster. Among the deaths are whole fami lies whose corpses are in several places still lying unburied. The dead will be interred in trenches. 500 Lives Lost In St. Vincent. St. Thomas, D. W. I., May 12 .— Ad vices received here from the island of Dominica say that boats arriving there report that many persons were drown ed while crossing to Dominica from the island of Martinique, where some of the outer parishes have been inundat ed. The eruption of Mont Pelee (Mar tinique) continues. The lava is pro gressing northward. The whole north ern region Is now a rocky waste, de nuded of vegetation. Reports from the island of St. Vin cent say that up to the afternon of Friday last over 200 deaths had oc curred th^re owing to the volcanic outbreak in that island. Definite news, however. Is lacking. Many es tates were destroyed and steam and ashes were belched forth from 7 in the morning until 9:30 at night. The. eruption is now invisible at Kingston. Huge dust clouds were blown east ward. Great distress prevails at St. Vincent, where there are many In jured people. It is believed that 500 persons have lost their lives at St. Vincent. The majority of the corpses are still un burled. The British royal mail steamer So- lent has gone from Barbadoes to Mar tinique with supplies and doctors. From the island of Trinidad the British royal mail steamer Kennet has gone to Fort De France. The British second class cruiser In defatlgable is on her way from Trini dad to St. Vincent with stores for the relief of the sufferers there. It is reported here that Fort De France (Martinique) is threatened. Great tension prevails everywhere 1 T -. AFTER MANY YEARS Of suffering from kidney disease, Miss Minnie Ryan, of St. Louis, Mo., found a complete cure result from the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is such cures as this which es tablish the sound ness o f Dr. Pierce's theory: MDiseases which originate in the stomach must be cured through th e s t o m a c h .” Every other organ depends on the s t o m a c h for its vitality and vigor. For by the stom ach and its asso ciated organs of digestion and nu trition the food which is eaten is converted into nu triment, which, in the form of blood, is the sustaining power of the body and each organ of it. When the stomach is dis eased the food sup ply of the body is cut down, the or gans are starved, and the weakness of starvation shows itself in lungs, heart, liver, kidneys or some other organ. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and so cures disease of other organs which have originated through deficient nutri tion or impure blood. ”1 had been suffering with kidney trouble Miss twenty years,” writes Minnie Ryau, of 15 3J Louisiana Aveuue, St. Louis, Mo., “and I doctored with a number of the best physi cians. Two years ago I commenced taking your 'Golden Medical Discovery ’ and ' Favorite Pre scription • and took also several vials of Doctor Pieree’s Pellets. I took eight bottles (four of ---- - a each), and I feel now perfectly cured.” Dr. Pierce’s Pellets cure biliousness. ST. PIERRE DESTROYED Coral. New Rural Free Deliveries .

I., May 10 .— Ttv British schooner • Ocean Traveler u! St. John, N. B., arrived at the islanc of Dominica, B. W. !.. at 3 o’cioel yesterday afternoon. She reporter having been obliged to flee from the island of St. Vincent, B. W. I., May 7 owing to the heavy fall of sand froir a volcano which was erupting there She tried to reach the island of St Lucia, B. W. I., but adverse currents prevented her from so doing. . The schooner arrived opposite St Pierre, Martinique, May 8. While about a mile off shore the volcano of Mom Pelee exploded and fire from it swept the whole town of St. Pierre, des troying the town and the shipping there, including the cable ship Grap pier, which was engaged in repairing the cable near the Guerin factory The Ocean Traveler, while on hei way to Dominica, encountered a quant Ity of wreckage. 40,000 People Perished. San Juan de Porto Rica, May 10 .— The cable officials here have re ceived advices from San Dominies that the schooner which has arrived there from the island of Martinique reports that over 40,000 people are sup posed to have perished during tht volcanic disturbances in Martinique The cable repair steamer Grapplei (belonging to the W est India and Pan ama Telegraph company of London) was lost with all hands during the eruption of Mont Pelee. The Grapplei was one of the first ships to disappear London, May 10 .— A dispatch to the 'Reuter Telegram company from King ston, .Jamaica, after giving the details of the Martinique disaster already known says: “Thousands were killed at St.Plerre where a terrible panic prevailed. The eruption began Saturday May 3 , when St. Pierre was covered with ashes and appeared to be enveloped in foe. The flow of lava continued until Tr'cunes- day May 7 .” The message adds: “In the island of St. Vincent the Soufriere is active and earthquakes are frequent. But, so far, no damage has been done.” In response to the request of Gov ernor Llewellyn of the Windward Is lands, the British second class crulsei Indefatigable has been dispatched from the Island of Trinidad to the is land of St. Vincent by way of St. Lucia. A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Pointe a Pitre, island of Guadeloupe dated Thursday, says: “The Mont Pelee crater ejected yes terday morning molten rocks and ashes during three minutes completely destroying St. Pierre and the district within a four-mile radius. All the in habitants were burned. “About eight passengers from the Roraima of the Quebec steamship line were saved by the French crulsei Suchet. “The inhabitants of the southern dis tricts of the island who were depend ent on St. Pierre for provisions are menaced by famine.” A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Jamaica says: “The first intimation of a disastet at Martinique was the breaking of the cables on Tuesday. The French cable to Martinique from Puerto Plata was broken Wednesday. Cable communi cation with all the northern islands is stopped. “The survivors of the British steam er Roddam described the scene al St. Pierre as being “glimpses of hell.’ The RoddanVs men were killed chief!} by molten lava. “The Roraima was wrecked in a terrible upheaval of land and sea.. The whole crew perished. Two ships were lost with all on board in an at tempt to approach Martinique. Things are getting to such a pass—if in deed they have not reached it already— that a farmer who can no longer work his acres himself can hardly make them yield him a living. Good help is almost a memory, and help of any kind is hard to get and nearly as hard to pay, at the pre vailing rate of wages. Nobody seems to want to do farm work nowadays who has not a farm of his own. Farmer boys are crazy to go to the towns, and nothing will do a town boy but to get away to the city. To make thousands and to spend thousands is the modern ideal, and the city journals which concern themselves so largely with the doings of the rich— the money they fling away and the pleas ures they buy—have turned the heads of half the young men of the land. Now adays young people laugh in scorn at the standards of life at which their parents aimed, and content in an humble sphere has almost disappeared. Not to moral ze further, however, the fact is only too apparent that a farmer who wants competent help, either male or female, has got to look long and bid high and humor it when he finds it. We are not quarreling with the fact that farm help ask and get good wages. That is their privilege and their right. But the time is coming when farm owners must be ab’e to secure good help at reasonable wages or abandon their lands. If the native- born boys will not follow the plow, why oof, in the name of common sense, let in thet.Chinaman who will ? He is frugal, industrious, willing to work, capable, and faithful. Of course we have no room here for the countless millions whom China might send ns if our gates were wide open, but it looks as though we might utilize to advantage a hundred thousand or so a year. Our lawmakers at Washington do rnn things queerly, it would often seem. They keep the tariff on lumber until our own forests are all gone and our fair land waterless. They keep out the only people who are willing to do farm woik, until there is no profit in agriculture, if indeed farms will not have to be abandoned: and then they talk of Irrigation on a grand scale to make a million square miles of new farms in the West. Of course there are two sides to these and to all great questions, but there is unfortunately only one side to the question of farm help in New York State now, and many a farmer, getting along in years, is at bis wit’s end to know just what to &o.— lVatkins Ex> press.

Nobody can be too careful to keep this balance up. When people begin to lose appetite, or to get tired easily, the least imprudence brings on sickucss, weakness, or debility. The system needs a tonic, craves it, and shou d not be denied it; and the best tonic of which we have any knowledge is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. What this medicine has done in keeping healthy people healthy, in keeping up the even balance of health, gives it the same distinction as a pre ventive that it eejoys as a cure. Its early use has illustrated the wisdom of the old Fayiog that a stitch in time saves nine. Take Hood's for appetite, strength, and endurance. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Toadstools are often mistaken for mush rooms, and gall is sometimes mistaken for genius. the awfulness of the catastrophe which, apparently, hardly excited more than a ripple of excitement on the boulevards. Even the newsboys were not shouting the last editions of the evening papers with their usual vim. This was mainly due to the meagreness of the dispatches received here and to the total absence of de tails. The only sign of grief yet vis ible is the halfmasted flag over the ministry of the colonies. Beyond reproducing the cable dis patches received by the government the evening papers either refrained from commenting on the disaster or confined themselves to printing histor ies, ancient and modern, of similai events. The morning newspapers to day do not do much better. The Fi garo follows the cable dispatches with a geological history of the island of Martinique and speculates whether the catastrophe is- due to an eruption or an earthquake, or to both, windin'- up with the statement that \it is net France alone, but humanity as v whole that is plunged in mourning as such calamities call up the feeling of solidarity, uniting all who think and feel.” The Matin says it is one of the most frightful catastrophies recorded and we must go back to Pompeii to find a cataclysm of so unheard of a calamity.
