A TERRIBLE QUAKE
Fearful Loss of Life Reported Tbroii&li-.-
out Western Venezuela. ..
Probably 13,000 lives are lost
Representative Bryan Declines the Re
nomination for Congress and
Gives His Reasons.
Cabacas, Venesueia, May 17. -The
earthquake of April 28th did not do any
serious damage here, bat the entire
western section of Venezuela is in ruin,
and great Buffering prevails. Merida,
the capital of the state of Los Andes, has
been destroyed, and the loss of life is
appaUiug. A number of villages were
also destroyed. Merida has 12,000 in
habitants, And it is believed the loss of
life will reach 7,000 or 8,000, and
throughout the republic 12,000. Definite
information will not be had for some
time. .
Charles Putgar says that more than
naif the people of six cities were killed
and much property destroyed. In the
cities of Merida, Valare and Til"thes,
the shock lasted nearly two irriimtee,
houses were tumbled down and the in
habitants who were not instantly killed
fled for their lives. In the city of Merida
150 soldiers, who were lodged in the
barracks on the outskirts of the city,
were killed. : The six cities visited are
in an area of about 40 square miles. '
The Ship Is Sinking.
Washington, May 17. William J.
Bryan, of the First Nebraska district,
has sent a letter to the chairman of bis
congressional committee, Judge J. H.
Proady, of Lincoln, declining to' be a
candidate for re-election.
"If the president's financial policy be
comes the policy of the party, I do not
see any reason for the continued exist
ence of the party, because the republi
cans having followed that policy longer
are better prepared than we to support
it. On the other band, if the party re
pudiates Mr. Cleveland's fiaancial pol
icy and renews its devotion to the com
mon people, it may yet become an ef
fective instrument in the securing of a
good government." -
Mr. Byran states he will resume his
law practice in the city of Lincoln.

Carlyle and the Picture of Himself Painted
, . by n Friend. . . . ,
Carlyle suffered from dyspepsia, and
disappointments. He was, therefore,
neither oversympathetic in intercourse
with his friends, nor , fair in his esti
mates of other writers.
Though he personally liked 'Tenny
son, he spoke with . impatience of his
"cobbling his odes;" dismissed Jane
Austen's novels as "dish-washings;"
Hallam, the historian, as "dry as dust,"
and Goldsmith as an "Irish blackguard."
. Even the writers of editorials in
the press were saluted with this hard
saying: "What are these fellows doing?
They only serve to cancel one another.'
A characteristic anecdote illustrates
his cruel disposition, which provoked
him to inflict pain even on a friend.
An artist, who frequented Carlyle's
house, painted a picture of him in his
dressing- gown smoking a pipe by the
fireside, and Mrs. Carlyle in an arm
chair sitting- opposite him. The pic
ture was hunpr at one of the Royal
academy exhibitions, and, though not
a striking work of art, was purchased
by Lord Ashburton Carlyle's friend
for five hundred pounds.
The. delighted artist hurried off to
the Carlyles, expecting: congratulations
on the sale, and some manifestation of
pleasure on their part at having such a
value .set on a picture of . themselves
and their domestic interior. He deliv
ered his glad tidings, but all the re
sponse he received from Carlyle was:
"Well, in my opinion, five hundred
pounds was just four hundred and
ninety-five pounds too much!" Youth's
Companion. '""'"'

' Educating a Prince.
It is a costly business, the education
of princes. The great Krupp establish
ment at Kssen recently turned out a
miniature fortress to be set up in the
private grounds of the royal palace at
Potsdam. It is to be used in the edu
cation of the crown prince of Germany
and his brothers. Its cost was six hun
dred thousand marks, and its princi
ples of construction are not to be made
public; There are armored turrets
that rise, fire their - guns and instantly
sink out of'vieTr. It is said that a
number of new principles are embodied
in the construction of this fortress, but
they are for the present to remain se
crets for political reasons.

of somewhat vociferous music. Now
such a bird box is promptly preempted
