north end of the island and more are coustantly coming in.The terror has now taken a new form.There is imminent danger of starvation before help can get here.The victims of the awful disaster, who have escaped with the lives and even without injury, ire dazed and helpless as children.They are absolutely destitute of everything save the few garments on their backs.The food supply is so small, that with the utmost caution it cannot last among th »se who are here already to say nothing of those who are still to come.From jail points* stragglers are making their way here.All the relief expeditions that are con stautly going out bring here all whom they rescue.The French cruiser Sachet has already landed here practically all the inhabitants of the Le Prêcheur, the village of nearly 4,C()0 inhabitants, near St.Pierre, but which escaped destruction.In addition to these are those of Morne Rouge, something like six hundred in all.A DESOLATE WASTE.All the district for miles about St.Pierre is a desolate waste Even the whole appearance of the country has been transformed.Where there were hills there are now deep crevasses, and where there were cultivated valleys there are hills.It is not believed that there are any persons left alive in the northern part of the island.Those who have not perished have fled either to this place or elsewhere, along the south coast.How many were lost in endeavors to escape in small boats toother islands will never be known.All that is certain is that many did take to the waters in this way, and of these but few have been heard from.There has been a heavy sea running in which a small boat could live only by a miracle.CANOPY OF SMOKE.Over St.Pierre and all the country tor miles around there is still, even in the middle of the day, a darkness from the great black canopy of smoke that continues to rise from Mount Pelee and spread ont over the sky to the horizon.At considerable distances from where the big sulphur pit of the volcano was, new craters have broken out.To add to the devastation the rivers which took their rise from the vicinity of Mont Pelee have over-tlowed their banks, on the north side of the island and wide areas of country are under water.EXPLORING ST.PIERRE The work of exploring the ruins of St.Pierre is carried on with the utmost difficulty.There is a constant shower of cinders and ashes from the mountain.In ad dition the e is the sickening odor that arises from the great neaps of dead which lie exposed iu all directions, or are mingled with the heaps of mins.Thousands are buried so deep tiuder great mount ai ns of mud, lava and cinders, that they will not be unearthed for months even under favorable conditions.These are inoffensive, but among the thousands exposed or partially exposed, decomposition has advanced with horrible rapidity.Working in the terrific heat, in the foul atmosphere, and in the general horror and danger of the Kurrouudiugs tries the nur\es physical endurance to the utmost.The stench itself is so that it }>euetrates far out to sea.NKWHORRORSTH REATEN ED Food is coming herefrom Guada* lmu>e, but the whole amount that can be spared from there, from St.Lucia and other near-by islands, is now indequate to the needs of the thousands of half-starved men, women and children w ho are already here.That many die of starvation seems now inevitable.Added to this, there is the danger of the outbreak of an epidemic.The heat is intense and the unhealthy season is right at hand.With all that the people of the island have already endured it is feared that new horrors are ahead for them.Districts south of Fort tie France and back of the town are crowded with people, who even now must be on the verge of starvation.Unless help comes to them soon they must die The entire interior is already almost stripped bare of food.Those who have been engaged in the work of relief are almost worn out with fatigue and the ordeals they have been through.It is hoped that the arrival of ineu-of war will give them relief All told, it is estimated that there are now 50,4*00 people on the island who at e without shelter and Jsuf-fering for food.All estimates as to the total loss of life up to the present are pure speculation, although the most conservative agree that it will reach fully 30,-000.DEATH OF ANGUISH.Paris, May 12- The correspon-»nt of the Petit Parisen at Fort dc France says that the quays near the anchorage at St.Pierre are covered w ith heaps of mer-landise, which are still intact.Ml the trees in the vicinity of the eitv were levelled to the giound, and those that escaped all lie with their heads to the south.The stones on which the lighthouse tood were torn asunder and thrown a great distance.Injured survivors declare that they saw no flames, only burning cimiers.The centre of the town, w'hich is ten miles from Mount elee, has been converted to a rocky plain.Otherwise the houses are intact.All the inhabitants ied from asphyxiation in the exact positions in which the cataclysm surprised them.The ham of the dead were clenched and anguish w as written on their faces.It is estimated that thirty thousand persons perished in St.Pierre.Most of the victims arc buried under cinders to the depth of seveial yards.forward until 3 o’clock, when the Suchet cam 5 to our rescue.We W’ere then building a raft.** THE

Prevails.Much Fort de France, May 12.The British Royal Mail steamer Solent brought awful news of the British island of St Vincent.Mav Sand 9 a volcano there, the Soufrière, broke into a violent etuplion.Mud, ashes, stones and fire were hurled into the town of Kingston, the capital of the island, and over the country.From the meagre reports obtainable here it is known that five hundred deaths have occurred in St.Vincent up to Friday night, and that the volcano there was still active at that time.The volcanic detonations were distinctly heard in Barbadoes, one hundred miles away, and the tall of ashes there w as so heavy that it resulted in intense darkless for several hours during the afternoon.Gloves and Ribbons cleaned, •be first.In fact, in all lines we claim to Refuse the

result of the outbreak of the Mount Pelee volcano, at St.Pierre, on Thursday last.Careful investigation by competent Government officials show that the earlier reports were accurate.Briefly put, last Thursday morning, the city of St.Pierre disappeared within ten minutes in a whirling cyclone of fire vomited from Mount Pelee; thirty thousand persons were instantly and horribly killed by t he volcano, whose ancient crater had been occupied by a quiet hike in which picnic parties bathed.At Le Prêcheur, five miles north of St.Pierre, canoes filled with men and women, frantic to get away were found.The whole north end of the island was covered with a silver grey coating of ashes resembling dirty snow.Furious blasts of fire, ashes and mud swept over the steamer, but finally St.Pierre was reached.The city of St.Pierre stretched nearly two miles along the water front, and half a mile back to a cliff at the base of the volcano.RORAIMA’S LOSS.Canadian Survivors Tell Harrowing Tales.The stories of the survivors added to the awful details of the particularly harrowing account of the loss of the British steamer Roraima.C.C.Evans, of Montreal, and John C.Morris, of New York, who are now at the military hospital of Fort de France, say the vessel arrived at six.A- eight bells was struck a frightful explosion waj heard up the mountain A cloud of fire, toppling and toaring swept with lightning «need down the mountain side ana over the town and bay.The Roraima was nearly sunk and caught fire at once.“I never can forget the horrid, fierv.choking whirlwind which e^el)ped me,” said Mr Evans Mi.Mortis and I rushed below.We were not very badly burned, not so bad as most of them.When the tire came we were going to our posts (we are engineers), to weigh anenor and get out.When we came up we found the ship all afire aft and fough t it No Need For Anxiety.The Montreal “Herald” says that “one of the dangers by which the Dominion is faced i* the disposition, on the part of speakers and writers, in both the English and the French Provinces, to take a narrow view of public questions, and counsel precipitate action on matters regarding which there is no national unanimity of purpose There are few constitutionally governed countries in which it is if greater moment than in Canada that legislative action should be deliberate rather than precipi tate.” This is especially true, it says, of Imperial questions.“In time Dr.Parkin may come to ac cept the views of Quebec, or Que bec may accept his, or a common standing ground may be found.” There is a good deal of needless anxiety on both sides.One man says that something must be dota in a hurry, or the empire will fall top tees; another says that the growth of Imperialism is already so rapid as to endanger our autonomy.The fact is that these questions will be settled by thi steady growth and development of Canada We may be sure that a country growing as rapidly as Canada will be in no danger of reviyalof Downing street domina tiou; and at the same time w e may be sure that it will not be satisfied to be a burden to the empire.In th eraeantime, is it not the duty of Canadians to give a hearty support to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who exercises a moderating influence, avoids extremes, and takes the course which is most generally acceptable to all ?Put the most ardent Imperialist, or the most ardent opponent of Imperialism, in the Premier’s place, and he would be obliged to moderate his views, making concessions and compromises, and finding a middle way between extremes.Halibut, Haddock, Cod, Mackerel and

is being signed here by the ratepayers to the Lieut.Governor, asking to have a District Magistrate’s Court in this village established here.It is honed that the petition will be granted, as we need a court ot that kind here.The Despot of Vienna, Th** Htlzen of Vienna who Aotm not wish to out of po< k«t mu»t keep early houn», for after t«n O'clock he la taxed on entering hl« own house, or, for the matter of that, any house.The "sperrgeld,” or dooropening tax.Is peculiar to Vienna, &¦ the London “Express" explains.The entire population of that city, numbering nearly two millions, are practically imprisoned in t ir houses from ten o’clock in the evening until six the next morning.They can go In or out only by paying at least four cents to the Janitor or "house-master," as he Is called.Vienna is built on the "flat" or apartment-house plan.Millionaires and working people alike live in houses of this description.The houses are large, having five or six floors, with four flats on a floor, so that It Is not unusual to find a hundred persons living under one roof.There Is one common entrance from the street, and after ten o’clock at night this door is bolted and barred.From ten until twelve all who go in or out must pay four cents.After twelve the charge is doubled.The tax must be paid every time one passes through the doorway, without exception.If a man has occasion to go In and out half a dozen times, he must pay every time.One who has dined with a friend must, if he stay late, pay four cents to get out of hla friend’s house, and four more to get into his own.A telegram in the night necessitates the payment of the tax before the boy c^n enter.The house-master also collects and keeps duplicate copies of the forms on which every individual in the house must report to the police his age, birthplace and religion, his exact occupation, and other personal details which the Austrian authorities insist upon knowing.Nor does the power of this important personage end even here.From the little guard-room which he occupies at the foot of the stairs he sees every one who goes in or out.He ascertains with amazing accuracy the amount of each tenant’s income, the events of his family life, and the character of his visitors.His far-reaching power enables him to terrorize every servant In the house Into entering his Intelligence department, and thus he spies on the innermost life of the subjects in his five-storey kingdom.In some cases the house-master is more powerful than in others.An English resident was obliged to move i from an apartment that he particularly liked because he could not venture to speak with any degree of sharpness to the man at the door, even when the man was remiss in his duties.The fiat was owned by a railway belonging to the State.This made the house-master a State official, an Insult to whom is a very serious offence In Vienna.A reprimand for delaying letters w'ould be construed Into an Insult, and the Englishman deemed It wise to move to other quarters.Thousands of people in Vienna live in such terror of the house-master that, It is said, they never make an apple-tart without giving him half.Anecdotal.WhiW preachir.g from the text: "H# glveth his beloveo sleep,” a minister stopped in the middle of his sermon, gazed upon his dosing auditors, an I said: "Brethren, it is hard to realiza the wondrous unbounded love the Lord appears to have for a good portion of this congregation." The “Green Bag" tells of a lawyer who wa1- ',t>out to furnish a bill of costs.“* said his client, who was a baker, “mat you will make It light as possible." "Ah." said the law yer, “you might perhaps say that to the foreman of your establishment, but that Is not the way I make my bread!" While James McNeill Whistler, the eccentric American painter, was In a London shop one day a customer rushed In, and, mistaking Mr.Whistler for a clerk, exclaimed: “I say.this hat doesn’t fit." The artist eyed him for a minute, and then replied, scornfully: "Neither does your coat, and I’ll be hanged if I like the color of your trousers." An attorney named Else, rather diminutive in his stature, and not particularly respectable In his character, once met Jekyll."Sir," said he, "I hear you have called me a pettifogging scoundrel.Have you done so, sir?’ “Sir," said Jekyll, with a look of contempt, "I never said you were a pettifogger, or a scoundrel, but I said you were ’little Else.’ " When Bishop Potter was asked, the other day, what he thought of woman suffrage he made the diplomatic reply*.“My dear madam, I have gotten away beyond that; I am trying to make the best terms with the sex that I can obtain." This brings to mind the mot of William M.Evarts when asked by a lady if he did not think that woman was the best judge of woman.He replied: "Not only the best Judge, madam.but the best ev^’tioner.’’ Sunlight Soap will be paid by L EVER $5)000 BROTHERS LIMITED, Ratifarfl Toronto, Ont., to any person ¦•*”®**" who can prove that this soap contains any form of adulteration or any injurious chemicals.One wash will make linen last clean longer than two washes with impure soap Ask for the Octagon Bar.reduces expense INSURANCE ÆTXA%\ ALLIA SCR, CO At M RRCIA L US JOS, TheaeiFire Il-uiHLte Ccn paniesJ with a Combiiitd Capital of over $100.000,000.00 are represented by W.S.DRESSER & CO., 'STERN J §herbroôkë’8|Leadinf£Fire Insurance Office, Established IS.o._ ¦m.m .^i I’hnnp 111 "w: S.;i)RE8SER, J.W.|McKEE, McCarthy Block .1 29 Strathcona Sbuare.Bell Phone ill Peoples Phone Mr.Amedee RobitaiUe, M.P.P.V for Quebec Centre, is mentioned as a probable successor to Hon Mr.Dechene, Commissioner of Agriculture.For pure blood, a bright eye.a clear complexion, a keen appetite, a good digest on and refreshing sleep, Take I BRISTOL’S Scvrse^ptritia.Buried by a Cougar, FOREST STREAM and SEASHORE.AH ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF 170 PAGES.ISSUED BY THE- We beg To announce THAT WE HAVE SOLD ^our Grocery Department to Mr.J.LANE, who will continue the busines in our store.We will give more attention to our Dry Goods, Wall Paper and Paints, etc.and we hope to see you often.intercolonial .Railway H.A.PRICE, AsuL-Ocn.Pans.Agt.Montroa», P.Q.Please note that our store, in common with all others in Len-noxville, closes at six o’clock on Wednesday evenings* LENN OX VTLLE.Up-to-date Plumbing.ALL WORK AND MATERIAL GUARANTEED.fl.R.WILSON Across Street from Sun Life Building.PITEIT Good IC; m%y be «©cared hr ear aid.Addre*» THE PATEKT BECOII®, L© Pionnier Changes and Platform Hands Messrs Henri Bourassa, M.P.for Labelle, and J.A.Chicoyne, M.L A., for Wolfe, have formed an alliance to regenerate things generally.With Messrs.(* N.Ducharme C.Gelinas and T.L.Normand they have secured the control of Le Pionnier, and announce the following programme; “Basing our policy on the principles of autonomy and of decentralization, which conserved our na* ional character and wh.c.i responds equally to British tradition, we will combat with energy all attempts to absorb Canada in the Empire, the province in the confedration, and the city in the province.In a word, we are nationalists in the strongest sense of the term.“We are ready to accomplish all our obligations, both legal and moral, toward the crown, but we squarely refuse to assume any new ones.Canadians before all, we look for the execution of every clause in the federal pact, all those which protect us as well as those which place us under contribution.“We do not desire any nairuw provincialism, but w’e will defend our provincial autonomy against the usurpations of the federal power, and against those greater dangers with which we are threatened.Thegrst number of Le I lonmer under the new management contains an attack upon Lord Strathcona, and an article calling down ridicule upon the heads of tharaldermen of Three Rivers fo voting a loyal address to King Edward VIP Liverpool’s city debt is the highest in Britain compared to popu lation It is seven times that of London.A hunter who wag trailing after bear meat in British Columbia reports to the "Western Sportsman" an experience which • he calls a “narrow graze." If the Incident happened as the hunter tells It, It was indeed a narrow graze; but one cannot help suspecting that some of the invigorating ozone of the North-W est has got into the story.Nevertheless, it Is worth hearing."It was warm and dry, and along In the middle of the afternoon I began to pine for rest and a pipe.It was all quiet and no traces of game, and so when I’d had a comfortable smoke I stretched out for a nap."It must have been an hour later that I woke up and found myself cov-eml with two feet of leaves snug a* the babes In the wood.I was all tucked In that cosy that nobody else could have done it but a cougar, and most likely a female cougar at that.It occurred to me with some force that I’d been filed away for future reference, and that I hadn’t waked up any too soon.It didn’t soothe me to figure on that cougar stowing me away j as a dog hides a bone.“It seemed that the best thing for I me to do was to countermine that cougar's mine, as It were.So I hunted up a log about my size and covered It with the leaves—a nice fat hump on the ground.Then I shinned a tree close by, assuring myself beyond any doubts or poradveutures that nobody had meddled with the working of my repeater."The cougar came In such a short time as to show how fortunate it was that I had waked up when I did.and with her, as I had calculated, were a choice lot of young ones.She had left a dinner located and had been off to get her family."Well, that cougar circled around the pile of leaves for a matter of minutes, crouching and picking a nice select place to spring from.When she got satisfied and made the leap she went through the air tremendous, throwing the leaves in a whirlwind and scratch* Ing and snarling.It was some of a shook when she found the log, but she didn’t display any disappointment.She Just took the scent and came to the foot of my tree and looked up, real venomous."It seemed to her an awkward Job to handle.I having my gun ready so, and the cougar had an Inspiration, ©he went to a tree about ten feet away and started to go up.She was aftef that meal and not to be discouraged by any trilles.It was her Idea to climb up above me on the other tree and then bring me down with a Hying leap."I didn’t lose any more time with experiments or speculations, but let h«f have it the first time she came round the tree.The ball went through her Jaw and breaet, and the varmint went to the ground.The young ones were running around, and I knocked them over, too, with the gun.“Since then I haven’t gone to sleep In the woods so careless and casual like."

the management of the Quebec Central Railway ami that the English directors and bond holders have been communicated with on the subject.The particulars of the proposed deal nave not, as yet, been made public, but it is positively known that the manager of the Quebec Central Railway, Mr.Frank Grundy, has been called to England to talk the matter over witn the board of directors.He arrived in Quebec on Saturday last to attend the departure of his wife for England, who had secured her passage on board the S.S.Tunisian, and intended to have returned to Sherbrooke,but while in this city he received a cablegram to proceed to England immediately in connection with the offer o purchase made by the American syndicate Consequently, instead of bidding Mrs.Grundv adi *u he accompanied her to England on I the same stearaer,on which he was i fortunate enough at the last moment to secure a parage.The Quebec Central Railway, during the past twenty years, has developed from a struggling road into a most successful enterprise, and has proved itself a valuable adjunct to the Boston Ac Maine Railway.Of late years it lias been paying a dividend of six per cent, per annum, besides expending large sums of money yearly in the improvement of the road and ihe acquisition of rolling stock.Last year’s earnings were largely in excess of the previous, ana a record breaker in the earnings of the mad, and if it had not been for the disaster that happened during the year the dividend would have been seven per cent.The country through which it runs is becoming richer every year on ac count of the mining and other interests in course of marvellous development which is having the effect of increasing the population and personal wealth of the people.American ! capitalists have had their eye on the progress anil prosperity of this valuable little railway for the past two years, and at last have come forward and offered a very handsome figure for its purchase, which Saved His Leg.P.A.Dan forth, of LaG
