An Intensely Active Volcano.
Fort de France, Island of Martinique,
May 28,5 p. m.?A tremendous
explosion of very black smoke issued
from Mount Pelee at a quarter of 9
ibis morning.
Prof. Robert T. Hill, United States
government geologist and head of the
expedition sent to Martinique by the
National Geographic society, who left
Port de France Mod day on horseback
for the volcano, returned here
this morning. He was completely
. i- ? l - -
irom out oj uib trip.
Prof. Hill recites an interesting
story of his examination of the district
through which he passed.
Prof. Hill heard the explosion of
this morning while on his way into
Fori de France, and says a cloud of
bfeek smoke, at a great height was
drifting slowly to the southeast.
Speaking personally of his expedition
to Mount Pelee, Prof. Hill
* Mid:
My attempt to examine the crater
eff Mount Pelee has been futile. I
aoceeeded, however, in getting very
cfoee to Morne Rouge. At 7 o'clock
Monday night I witnessed from a
Isgb point near the ruins at St. Pierre,
a frightful explosion from Monnt
Pelee and noted the accompanying
pboDomena. While these eruptions j
aoaaneman should attempt to second
to the crater of the volcano.
Following the salvos of detons from
the mountain, gigantic mushroom
whmped columns of smoke and cindnis
ascended into the clear, starlit
rnkj* and then spread, in a vast black
rimt, to the south, and directly over
any bead. Then this sheet, which
extended a distance of ten miles
JbofD the crater, vivid and awful
lightning like bolts flashed with
alarming frequency. They followed
distinct paths of ignition, but were
different from lightning in that the
fedts were horizontal and not perpendicular.
This is indisputable evidence
of the explosive oxidation of
tbe gasses after they left the crater.
T5>5s is a most important observation
and f xplains, in part, the awful catastrophe.
This pbonomenon is entirely ,
aasir in volcanic history. ,
* 1 took my photographs, but do
sot hesitate to acknowledge that I
was terrified. Bat I was not the
only person so frightened. Two
newspaper correspondents who were
dose to Morne Rogue some hours
More me became scared, ran three ,
mile* down the mountain and hastened
into Fort de France.
"The people on the north end of
are terrified and are flee- (
jmg with their cattle and effects. I
spent Tuesday night in the house at
Item Gboux with a crowd of 200
- > i a
mftBiBnea reiugees.
" Nearly all the phenomena of these
volcanic outbreaks are new to science
rod zoany of them have not yet been
fxpfomed. The valcano is still in- j
( . temely active, and I cannot make ^
any predictions as to what it will do." (

Id spite of the experience with the

?&mb?8 which have been exposed in J
aE tbe reputable newspapers of the J
land, there are expert swindlers at 8

jftUfet schemes for duping the un- ?
wary and unsuspecting that wo have 11

iCggS That is the average time I
I JdBuw *n a ^arge city restau- !
rndprnt'-l rant ^7 three thousand j
'Pwl lunchers. It takes three
' hours to digest a fresh egg !
toft boiled; three hours to digest a boiled
apple dumpling; three hours to digest
fre3h roast beef. In fact, three hours is j
about the time required to digest the !
average twelve minute lunch. The ob- j
ject of the hasty lunch is to let the busy i
man get back to his ofhce work. But ;
when the brain is active, the stomach is 1
inactive for lack of necessary blood. The
natural consequence is indigestion, and
indigestion opens the door to many di&- |
eases.
Tnrtior/?c*-inn i?j cured bv the use of Dr?
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, I
which cures diseases of the stomach and j
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
and enables the perfect digestion and
assimilation of food.
"It is with heartfelt gratitude that I send this
tcstimoni*l which I wish you to publish with j
my name and address," writes Mr. Willis Sea- j
man. of Washiugtonville, Orange Co.. X. Y. "I |
had stomach trouble from childhood and suffered j
with it more or less as I grew up. At the age of j
36 I was broken down with dyspepsia. My suf- j
feting was terrible. Could not eat without dis- !
tress. Could only eat a few certain things and ;
was not able to work half the time. Every thing j
I tried only gave me temporary relief. My wife J
finally persuaded me to try Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and '"Pleasant Pellets.' I |
took six bottles of the ' Golden Medical Discovery
' and two vials of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pel- I
lets.' I then felt so well that I stopped taking
medicine. Several months have passed and I
can do the hardest kind of work, can eat any- I
thing that is set before me and enjoy it. I am
27 years old and this is the first time I* have ever ,
been wen."
Free. Dr. Pierce's Common Sense
Medical Adviser in paper covers is sent
free on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps to
pay expense of mailing only, or 31 stamps
for cloth-bound volume. Address Dr.
V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
week for stamps and other expenses.
The first outlay is to send 82 50
for a book entitled, "A Physician in
the House," which contains remedies
for all the ailments known to humanity
since Adam and Eve walked in
the garden of Eden. On receipt of
the money an agreement is sent for
signature, in which it is stipulated
that the gudgeon who bites at this
bait shall write ten letters every day
according to instructions, mailing a
post card every day to the Occult !
Book Company, giving the names
and addresses of people to whom le(- j
ters have been sent. It is the same j
old game and is managed in the same j
old way to filch money from
those who are unable to lose
it, but unfortunately, this is the class
that nibbles at it like a minnow at
the hook.
Of course, we will be told that
j
there are persons here and there who |
bave received the $5 per week, which j
appears to be a conclusive argument, |
but for every one getting pay as stip- j
ulated there are ten, twenty or thirty
ethers who never get anything for ;
their pains and trouble. The Occult
company know what they are about,
*nd they are not in the business for
mere recreation and pleasure, but !
for an enlargement of their bank ac- ]
count at the expense of the numerous
iupes who are a constant prey of the
swindlers that lie in wait for them.

Panic at Fort DeFranco.
Fort de France, May 30.?People
ive in the utmost dread from hour
\o hour, and it needs but the beginning
of a violent demonstration of j
Mont Pelee to throw the people into j
mother panic. That this is recog- |
nized on every hand is shown by the I
3ecret departure of the cruiser Cin- j
jinnati last night without a word of
varning, and her intention was j
snown to only very few. She slipped j
ler cables and sailed for New York, j
Che captain did this to save her, for j
my hour might have seen an over j
vhelming rush of people to thfe ship.

A prominent New York lawyer, i
occasionally heard of in connection
with divorce cases, told the following:
"Some years ago I was retained by
an Australian banker's daughter to
secure her a divorce. After having
obtained the decree I delivered it to
her and was surprised when she
burst into a roar of laughter after
reading it.
"'What is so funnyf I asked.
"'Why, look here,' replied the divorcee.
'Look at the names?"Donchue,"
justice; ' O'Bryne," referee;
"Keenan," county clerk. 'Why,' she
mirthfully added, 'when I return

Soldiers Not Cruel.
Washington, May 29.?Gen. Felipe
Beuncamino, of Manila, formerly
j Aguinaldo's Secretary of War, called
I on the President today. The civil
; government, he told President Koose|
velt, was doing really wonderful work
| for good in the island and it has been
| ably seconded by the army. The
| stories of the cruelties perpetrated
by our soldiers, he said, were either
wholly untrue or greatly exaggerated.
