A cow or I fuse or even a dog will re- or drink what the animal knows to be harmful, but mankind will persist in pouring in coffee even after having been fully assured that it is stead- jly killing him. Once in a while they wake up and do the sensible thing. A lady says: “Why will people wait as long as I did when it is so easy to save elf the suffering caused by coffee Grinking? After using ° coffee several years I discovered that I was breaking down nervously. I consulted several doc- tors, but in spite of everything steadily grew worse. “One physician advised me to quit cof- fee and I tried quitting by the use of will it every time it was a miserable to eat H © stomach was in dreadful shape and to sleep at night, nervous t it and I became barely bout wh ile visiting a minister's old lady, she proposed of coffee, the kind she using three times a day for me a cup three years » she brought out a cup of the most fr: ant, delicious beverage.

The ashes, gases, smoke and stones, instead of pouring immediately upon us, were carried out over the seh. Working among the ruins were a few Frenchmen, who had re- mained ashore after their fellows had fled in fright. - These men became panic-stricken. They fell upon their knees and prayed to be saved from the destruction which they feared was about to fall upon them. They were in hysteria. Not one of the Frenchmen was not in tears. Under the circumstances the pres- ence of mind and bravery of the American sailors was worthy of the greatest praise. They refused to put down their burden. “If we die,” one of them said, “we will die with this body on our shoulders.” His fellows had spirit enough to greet this sentiment with a cheer. It was heartening, and it served to shame the French- men into a show of bravery. As rapidly as possible the sailors made their way over the debris to the shore. Once one of them stumbled. His fellows waited until he could recover himself, when all went on together, still bearing the encoffined body of the Consul. Half a mile was covered in this manner, each minute the sky darkening. The heat was beyond comprehension. In the air was volcanic dust that made respiration hard labor. Finally.the distance was covered and at the end it was dis- covered that, after all, the body would have to be temporarily abandoned. Heavy seas were sweeping shoreward. It was with great difficulty that the party was taken on board by the Potomac; but it was accomplished safely and just in time. Straight out to sea for five miles ran the Potomac while all eyes watched the eruption—the grandest and most awe—inspiri'ng sight ever witnessed by man. There was an inner column of fire that reached perpendicularly into the air. About it was a funnel- shaped mass of ashes and gas that could be penetrated by the eye only when the flames burned brightest. Several new craters seemed to have been formed and from these lava was flowing down to the ocean. As the molten mass joined the water great clouds of steam were raised and the sin- ister hissing could be heard amid the roar of the eruption. When the Potomac had been put beyond the apparent dan- ger an observation was taken. Then the ship was turned up the coast and was run close in under the column of death. As close as the ship could be sent without courting destruction the Po- tomac went to the stream of lava. All about us the sea was boiling, and the steam that came up over the sides was so dense as to make it all but impossible to see through. Again a turn was made seaward, and as it was seen that the wind had shifted the danger from St. Pierre, we ran back to the landing. A party of sailors went ashore and brought off the body. We returned then to Fort de France, where all was panic. Terrible as was the eruption that came last night, it was mild in comparison with that which occurred early this morning. At half-past 5 o’clock a thick, heavy cloud, lit up by flashes of lightning and the rising sun, rose from Mont Pelee. The people of Fort de France at once became panic-stricken and in scant attire rushed excitedly through the streets of the town. Stones from the volcano as big as hazel nuts fell in the streets. Many of the inhabitants hurriedly embarked on the vessels in the harbor, gnd it was with difficulty that they were eventually reassured. \At 7 o’clock, however, the excitement was over and the people became calm. Owing to the hasty retreat that was made from the British consulate the body of Mr. Japp, which had been coffined, was not recovered. It is now\deenred too dangerous a task to re- turn for the body, which lies about a mile back from the shore. Many of the refugees\and a large proportion of the inhab- itants of Fort de France slept last night at the water’s edge, \ ) TO SHRIEK AND PRAY IN WATERFALL LT BorAarIIcAL GRARDENS s ST PLERRE | PLACES IN VERDURE-CLAD ISLANDS THREATENED BY THE VOLCANOES. < o Tidal Wave Reported to Have Swept Le Carbet.

ST. THOMAS, May 20.—Consternation was caused here this morning by the ap- pearance of a cloud streaked with flame, surmcunted by a cap resembling bur- nished silver. This cloud hung over the city and finally drifted away, flames play- ing through it as though it was living fire. 1t is feared that another great dis- aster has occurred south of here. De- tonations greater than those of May 8 were heard this morning here as well as in Guadeloupe and Antigua. GREAT EXPLOSION REPORTED. It Is Possible the Eruption Is in ‘Worse Form Than Before. : ST.

Says He Fired Fatal Shot to Save His Own Life When Attacked. Special Disvatch to The Call. REDDING, May 20.—Two of the best known farmers of the Bear Creek district, eighteen miles east of Redding, met in a fatal encounter to-day. One is dead and the other a prisoner. The circumstances indicate that had there been a trifilng de- lay the slayer would have been the slain. Joseph Kouney killed Charles Scharsch, his wife’s brother. After the Kkilling he left the body in the field, drove to Red- ding and surrendered himself to Sheriff Behrens. Kouney is a man of 55 years. He has a wife and two children. His brother-in- law, Scharsch, aged 40 years, formerly made his home with them. He became dictatorial, quarreled with his sister and the children and was finally requested to move away. He did so, but several weeks ago returned and took a house near by. He frequently met Mrs. Kouney on the road and threatened her. He frightened the Kouney children, and is said to have defled Kouney to interfere. Some belleved him to be slightly insane. Scharsch went into Kouney's field yes- terday _afternoon, dragge: 15-year-old George Kouney from a mowing machine and beat him. Last night the boy and his mother started for Redding to obtain a warrant for Scharsch’s arrest. As mother and son were preparing to return with an officer this afternoon Kouney himself arrived, announced that he had killed Scharsch and gave himself up. Kouney says that he went to his field at 9:30 o'clock this morning, carrying a pitchfork and a shotgun. Charles Scharsch, who lay in wait, leaped over the fence and came at him with a large rock, crying, “Now I've got you.” Kouney raised his gun and fired, the full charge striking Scharsch’s head. To his wife’s nephew here Kouney said that Scharsch also had a shotgun, which would be found cocked beside the body. District Attorney Dozier and Coroner Greene will leave for the scene early in the morning. From One to Thirty-Five. Marshall Fountain Pens—$1.00. A. A. Waterman Fountain Pens—$1.50.

If you are sick or “feel badly”” begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health.
