ERUPTIONS KILL 1,000 PERSONS

Mount Tacona, in Guatemala, Is Buried Under Mass of Volcanic Matter. AMPLE WARNING WAS GIVEN Volcano Had Been Restless Since the Great Earthquake of April 18. Which Destroyed the City of Quez* altenango. Another city in Central America has suffered almost complete destruction and hundreds of its inhabitants have been killed by volcanic eruptions. The steamer Palena, which arrived at San Francisco from southern ports, brings the news that the town of Retalbulen, situated at the foot of Mount Tacona, in Guatemala, has been buried under a mass of lava, stones, and ashes thrown from the volcanic crater, and probably 1,000 of its people have perished. The volcano is about twenty-five miles from Champanico, and near the town of Tapachulo, which, it is believed, also suffered severely. The eruption occurred several days before the steamer Palena arrived at Champanico. The vessel’s officers were informed by the company’s agent at that place that the volcano had shown signs of Impending eruption for several days previous to the outbreak. In fact, Mount Tacona had been restless ever since the great earthquake of April 18, which destroyed the city of Quezaltenango. Crater Emits Pall of Smoke. For weeks a black pall of smoke hung over its summit and the glare from the crater frequently illuminated the sky. Many of the inhabitants of Retalbulen fled from their homes to places of safety and these escaped frightful deaths. When the eruption at last broke forth in its full fuity showers of lava, ashes, and stones were ejected and covered the country for miles around. The bay of Champanico was a mass of floating pumice and ashes. No details were obtainable by |he officers of the Palena, but the loss of life was estimated at not less than 1,000. The same steamer brought a letter to Balfour, Guthrie & Co., agents of the Pacific Coast Steamship company, from G. M. Melville, their agent in Guatemala, confirming the report of the eruption. He also stated that since the earthquake of April 18 shocks had been of almost daily occurrence. A few days before the Palena sailed a small village near Mount Tacona was destroyed, but no details could be obtained. The volcano of Santa Maria is also stated to have been in a state of eruption.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK IS GOOD

Labor Disputes the Only Drawback in the Trade Situation. “Peace in South Africa has greatly improved the outlook. Foreign industrial markets will quickly benefit foj the development of that country, while a return to active gold mining will have a helpful influence in monetary circles. Owing to the present exceptional home consumption producers in this country may not be able to take advantage of the opportunity immediately, but even the indirect effects must be beneficial. Domestic conditions will have but the one drawback of labor disputes, which have reduced the earning power of a large force. Outside the limits of this influence there is little cause for complaint.” R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade thus sums up the industrial situation. Continuing, the review says: “Sales of footwear have materially increased with the advancing season. A temporary season of activity occurred in leather. Quiet prevails in hides. Textile goods are firmly held, with stocks well under control. Quiet conditions are also reported in woolens. Satisfactory weather in the leading producing regions had a depressing influence on grain quotations, and last week’s advance was lost. Failures for the week in the United States were 218, against 194 last week, 192 the preceding week and 185 the corresponding week last year, and in Canada sixteen, against twenty last week, twelve the preceding week and twenty last year."

FILIPINO AMAZON WITH A RECORD

Tk« Lata “Macabobe Marla," a Warrior and Spy. War 1b apt to produce eccentric and romantic characters. The names of Molly Pitcher of the revolution, and Belle Boyd, the confederate spy, are more firmly fixed'in the minds of the readers of American history than some of the leading generals of the contending armies. The Philippine war is no exception to the rule. "Macabebe Marie,” who died recently, was known to every soldier in the Philippines, and was considered one of the shrewdest spies in the American service. At one time she was attached to Gen. Funston’s personal staff. Originally this woman was an insurgent captain, but the government of Aguinaldo failed to keep its promises with her, and she left it to join the Americans. It seems that Aguinaldo, as commander-m-chief, issued an order that any officer who might be wounded while in service would receive fifty pesos. “Macabebe Marie” was wounded and claimed the bounty. Before she heard from Aguinaldo she received two more wounds and then asked for 150 pesos. Her claims wese rejected and she deserted. She is said to have been a very beautiful woman and quite accomplished. Her husband was killed by the Spanish forces and she took his place. When the American forces landed she was attached to Aguinaldo’s personal command. Her favorite attack was from ambush, at which she became an adept.

After Twenty Yearn

Lusks Springs, Ind., June 9th.—lt would be hard to find a happier man than Mr. William Catterson of this place has been for the last few weeks. For twenty years h4s wife has been an invalid with a complication of diseases. Neuralgia, Rheumatism and generally broken down constitution. Mr. Catterson had done everything that loving care could suggest, but in vain-—his wife only grew worse. Recently, however, he heard of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and determined to give them a trial, and was overjoyed at the splendid result. From the very beginning of the treatment she commenced to improve till now she is nearly well and Mr. Catterson is rejoicing. He says: “Nothing ever did her so much good. We will always praise Dodd’s Kidney Pills for the good work they have done for us.”

Long and Short Sleeves.

Sleeves are striking. While many elbow sleeves are shown, long sleeves are equally as fashionable. Undersleeves are rather liked for the more expensive waists, and the plain bishop sleeve with narrow cuff is a general favorite. The puff is a trifle larger than last season; in fact, sleeves are a little larger all around.

Queen Helen an Expert shot.

Queen Helen of Italy is an expert with rifle and revolver, and beat her husband’s best target score, although he has the reputation of being a mighty hunter. Her record Is by no means confined to target practice either. When she was Princess of Montenegro hunting was her favorite sport, and she has had many exciting adventures with big game. When she went to Italy as Princess of Naples she missed her hunting more than any other feature of her girl life. The prince had targets put up in the gardens at Capo di Monte villa, and shooting matches were held there. The princess invariably carried off the honors, even when pitted against her husband’s men friends or the prince himself. Still target practice did not quite take the place of real hunting, so her husband guessed again. This time he gave his wife the Island of Monte Cristo, to have and to hold, as a happy hunting ground, and there she had glorious sport with her guns and her dogs, every season, until the assassination of King Humbert called her to a throne. Now she has left off killing game and has gone back to target shooting, but she does not neglect her practice or lose her enthusiasm.

An Old Goose.

What is sauce for the goose is said to be, or should be, sauce for the gander, and that is generally apple sauce. But at Chapel St. Leonards in England a goose escaped all kinds of dressing and died at the ripe age of twenty-eight years. She hatched out nine goslings regularly year after year but few of her descendant survived her. As the mere man who owned her got eight shillings apiece for the brood she may be said to have laid silver eggs, if not golden ones. At any rate she yielded him the tidy sum of £IOO 165., her family having reached the amazing total of 252. She was a familiar and respected figure, but it is hard to say why a burial service was held over her grave and the bell tolled.

Honor to Rosecrans' Memory.

With imposing ceremonies the remains of Major General William Starke Rosecrans were reinterred in Arlington cemetery, under the direction of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland. The services were presided over by General David B. Henderson, speaker of the House of Representatives. President Roosevelt, members of his cabinet, senators and representatives and a host of friends, including many of his old army associates, were present to pay their last tribute to the noted soldier.

Eight Messages Over One Wire

It is said that after prolonged experiments in sending four telegraphic messages each way simultaneously over a single wire, the German government has accepted the octuple transmitter invented by the late Prof. Rowland of the Johns Hopkins University. Between 300 and 350 words per minute were transmitted with success and it is understood that the German government will introduce the Rowland system between Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Leipzig and Frankfort.

INSIST ON GETTING IT.

Some grocers say they don’t keep Defiance Starch. This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands containing only 12 oz. in a package, which they won’t he able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 oz. for the same money. Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking.

The Great Talue of Saving Time.

Thrift of time is as necessary as thrift of money, and he who knows how to save time has learned the secret of accumulating educational opportunity. Men who regard it as sin-, ful to waste money, waste time with a prodigal’s lavishness because they do not understand the value of short periods of time; society is full of people who might enrich themselves an hundredfold and make their lives immensely more interesting if they learned this commonplace truth. —Ladies’ Home Journal. A man who 1b always truthful when he tells his wife that he Is going to his club, ought to be put in a glass case, but, poor dear, if she believes him, it were cruel to undeceive her.

She Suffered for Years and Felt Her Case Was Hopeless—Cured by j Peruna. Mrs. Judge McAllister writers from 1217 West 33rd St., Minneapolis, Minn., as folio we: , “/ auf/ered tor years with a pain in the small of my hack and right side. It Interfered often with my domestic and social duties and / never supposed that l would be cured, as the doctor’s medicine did not seem to help me any. ••Fortunately a member of our Order advised me to try Peruna and gave It such high praise that I decided to try It. Although I started In with little faith, I felt so much better In a week that I felt encouraged. ••I took It faithfully for seven weeks and am happy Indeed to he able to spy that lam entirely cured. Words fall to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more Is the best thing / could wish for, and thanks to Peruna I enjoy that now,” —Minnie E. McAllister. 5 The great popularity of Peruna as a' catarrh remedy has tempted many peo-! pic to imitate Peruna. A great many; so-called catarrh remedies and cat arrhal i tonics are to be found in many drugstores. These remedies can be procured j by the druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price, and no druggist can| get it a cent cheaper. Thus it is that druggists are tempted) to substitute the cheap imitations of Peruna for Peruna. It is done every day without a doubt.
