U Hood's Pills are the best after-dinner pill Byzantine Art. Not only hundreds of admirable Syrl Mi churches, but St. Sophia itself, had been completed before the early ChriS' tian basilica at Perigueux was begun. Whon we think what this must have been, with its wooden ceiling and scant, barbaric attempts at ornament, and what St Sophia is, with the most beau tiful dome that has ever yet been cm structed and a richness of finely devised and perfectly wrought adornment that has never yet been equaled, can we mar vel that any kind or degree of contact with Byzantine art deeply " impressed . western eyes and often guided western hands? Can we wonder that the churches of Constantinople were copied at Raven na, or that Charlemagne copied Ravenna it Aix-la-Chapelle and sedulously en touraged the immigration of Byzantine artists? Or is it surprising that, in the tenth oentury, the Venetians, perpetual ly in commercial contact with every eastern port, imitated a Constantinopolr tan church amid their own lagoons? Be tween the sixth and the eleventh centuries western art Romanesque art was not even sure what it wanted to try to do, while in the sixth century eastern art Byzantine art had already conceived and perfected some of the most marvel ous monuments of human intelligence and taste. M. G. Van Rensselaer in Century. The Philadelphia Record tells of a schoolteacher who was instructing a class of boys in geography. Everything went well until, in order to make the matter plainer, she took an ordinary globe and, pointing to the portion con taining the United States, asked her class where she would come out if she should start from Philadelphia and go straight through the earth. She kneW they would all say China, but she wanted to see which of her scholars would answer first She waited fully a minute and no answer came. Away back in the room a grimy hand was , finally held up. "Well, David," she asked, "where would I come out if I should go straight though the earth from here?" The silence was growing thicker every second. "Please, Miss Maude, you would come out of the hole," was the reply, and the class in geography was dismissed for the day. Mr. E. D.

Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), with his wife and daughter, arrived today on the steamer Norman from Table bay, Cape Colony. Although he started out on his tour of the world in feeble health, being obliged often to take to his bed between the delivery of leotures, and, notwithstanding an attack of sickness in India, Mr. Clemens looked the pic ture of health when he landed here. He hag gone far and seen much, in the Sansdwioh islands, Australia, India, South Afrioa. He expressed himself as charmed with what he had seen in South Afrioa. "I oonsider the Transvaal the coun try of the future," said Mr. Clemens, "It has a delightful olimate and bound less natural wealth. I had presented to me in Johannesburg a little nugget with figures on it showing the . euor mous lnorease of the gold output The bulk of trade there is in the hands of English and Germans, but Amerioans should be able to oommand the lion's Bhare of the trade in machinery, the largest portion of the maohinery in the Transvaal being American. Mr. Hammond, the reform leader convicted of treason, but whose sentenoe was commuted, intends to bring baok from the states with him 1300,000. The majority of Amerioans in the Trans vaal are engaged in mining and en gineering. The Amerioan element is small, but the mass of the Boers make no distinction between Americans and English. Indeed, all foreigners, with the ezoeption of Germans, are deferred to. "The excitement over the Jameson raid and subsequent . trial of the re formers has ' subsided, but all the re formers are agreed that the oause of political reform has been retarded a decade by the Jameson flasoo." ENGULFED BY A TIDAL WAVE It Is Estimated That 4,000 Chinese Perished. Shanghai, Aug. 4. News of a most terrible disaster, whioh ooourred on Sunday last in the province of Kiang Sn, has just been brought to this city. An immense tidal wave, fully five miles in length and of great height, swept in from the sea upon the coast of Hayehan, whioh ia in the southeast ern part of the province, inundating the entire country and destroying numerous small villages in its path. At present it is estimated that 4,000 people were drowned, but it is probable that when a full investigation has been made, that number will be inoreased. In addition to the great loss of hu man life vast numbers of cattle were drowned. Bioe fields were submerged, and the orops almost totally destroyed, and a famine is feared in the distriot during the coming autumn. Great numbers of people who escaped the fury of the waves are left utterly desti tute, without food or shelter or the means of proouring it Hai Chau is situated opposite Yu Chan island, on the ooast of Eiang Sn province, whioh is on the Whang Hai or Yellow sea. The surface is mostly level, whioh may aooount for the great loss of life. Eiang Su is one of the most fertile provinoes of the empire, and exports more silk than any other provinoe of China. . The Yang-tse- Kiang enters China through this prov inoe, the prinoipal city of whioh is Nanking. THE , LUMBER COMBINE., Washington Lumbermen Mot- Afraid That It Will Be Broken. Taooma, Wash., Aug. 4. Manager W. H. Hanson, one of the proprietor!. of the, Taooma Mill Company, said that the story sent oat from. San Fran-; oisoo, that there was likely to be a dis ruption of the lumber oombine, is with out foundation. . 'The millmen tt this coast," he said, "have been losing money long enough, and present prioes are but lit tle higher than the aotual cost of pro duction. 'If 'the retail dealer of Oakland or any other city sees to fit to out rates, that is his business, but he oanhot ex- peot millmen to get in any out rates t them. My opinion of the whole trouble is that several of the retailers have been after the same business, and some of those who failed to get cer tain orders out under their more suo- oessful competitors to try and get the business away from them. , . 'It is safe to say there will be no re duction in oargo rates, for two reasons. There is no neoessity for cutting, and the present rate will not stand it, as the inoreased prioe for stumpage and the greater distanoe the mills have to go for logs would make any suoh cut ting a loss to the millman. , , Killed by a Falling; Building. Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 4. At Co lumbus City, Ala., Maynard Covans was esoorting Miss Dovie Proctor, and Delia Bishop, daughters of prominent families, out for a walk, when a wind and rain storm came up, and the trio stepped into an old building out of the storm. The wind inoreased in fury until the building collapsed, and all were oaught in the debris. Covans and Miss Proctor were instantly killed, and Miss Bishop so badly injured that death will result A Mew Kiteflying- Record. Boston, Aug. 4. All reoords of kiteflying were broken at the Blue Hill observatory today. A kite was sent 7,883 feet into the air.

Express Crashes Into an Ex cursion Train. 100 ARE KILLED AND INJURED Wreck Ooourred at a Railroad Cross Ins;, and the Excursion Train Was Literally Cut in Twain by the Express Atlantio City, N. J., Aug. 3, A railroad accident, horrible in its details and sickening in its results, ooourred this evening, just outside of this oity, and as a result about 100 persons are either killed or injured. " . The Reading railroad express", which left Philadelphia at 5:40 o'olook this evening for Atlantio City, crashed into a Pennsylvania railroad excursion train at the seoond signal tower, about four miles out from here. The Pennsylvania train was return ing to Bridgeton with a party of excur sionists from that plaoe, Millville and neighboring towns. . It was loaded with passengers, and a rough estimate of the killed and injured at a late hour plaoes the number at 100. ' It is hoped that this is an exaggeration, but the number is undoubtedly more than fifty. At the seoond signal tower, the tracks of the two roads diagonally oross. The Beadirg train was given the signal to stop, but the brakes either failed to work or the speed of the ex press was too great to be checked in time. It oaught the excursion train broadside and ploughed through, liter ally cleaving it in twain. The engine of the Beading train was shattered to pieces. Every oar on the exoursion train was jammed to its fullest ca pacity. As soon as the news reaobed Atlantio City, the utmost consternation pre vailed, but the authorities weie equal to the emergency. Belief trains were dispatched to the soene, loaded with oots and bearing staffs of surgeons. As quick as the bodies were recovered, they were carried into the looal hos pitals and undertaker's shops. . A general fire alarm was sounded, and the department promptly respond ed, and aided in the heartrending work of digging for the victims. Fear grew into despair and horror as the vigorous work of the relief gangs revealed the awful extent of the disaster. The first Beading relief train bore into this oity twenty-seven mangled oorpses, men, women and children. The next train, not an hour later, car ried fifteen of the maimed and wound ed, and two of these died soon after reaohing the oity. As train after train plied to the scene of the wreok, and came baok with its ghastly burdens, the Sani tarium, which does duty as the oity hos pital, quiokly found its oapaoity over taxed. Meanwhile others of the dead and injured were being carried to the private hospital at Ocean and Pacific avenues. . Eward Farr, engineer on the Bead ing train, was killed outright, as was another railroad man who rode on the engine with him. This man, whose name has not yet been learned, saw the collision coming and leaped from the cab an instant before the orash came. Almost at the same instant the engine out its way through and caught him directly in its path. His body and that of Farr were found under a heap of debris, but the engineer lay in what remained of the oab, and his right hand still clasped the throttle. He had been faithful unto death, and met it at his post The fireman on that train leaped A few seconds before and esoaped with trifling injuries. Samuel Thornton, baggage-master on the Beading train, is among the dead. Jame M. Bateman, a Bridgeton un dertaker, is known to be killed. He was in the third car, and his hat was found lying among the mass of broken timbers. Richard Trenchard, a Bridgeton ma chinist, and his wife are both dead. - ' Conduotor Kelly, of the Pennsylva nia train, had both arms and legs broken, and Was internally injured. Albert J. Mosebaoh, of No. 18Torth Eighth street, Philadelphia, was on the Reading train. He esoaped unhurt. The excursion train was made up of fifteen oars, the foremost of which was a baggage oar. This and the next two coaches oaught the full force of the orash, and were utterly demolished. What remained of the third oar was tumbled into a ditch at the roadside. The responsibility for the aocident can not now be fixed. William Thurlow, telegraph operator in the tower-house, was arrested to night and held, pending an inquiry. Dragged to Death. , The Dalles, Or., Aug. 8. A distress ing aooident happened late last even ing, whereby Frances Elizabeih Kreft, the eldest daughter of ex-Mayor Paul Kreft, was killed! The young lady, ac companied by her younger sisters, was out driving, when the horse became frightened and ran away. . The younger Bisters were thrown out, and the elder one stayed in for a time, when she, too,, was thrown from, the vehicle. The young lady was .dragged for over a mile and fearfully laoera ted. , ...

More Salmon Than the Lower River ' Canneries Can Handle. Astoria, Or., Aug. 8. The receipts of salmon at the various lower river canneries oontinue unusually heavy and are far in excess of the oapaoity of several of the paoking establishments. Today the fish were so plentiful that one of Kinney's men delivered nearly 100, and near Sand Island it was re ported that the water was almost alive with large ohinooks. Many were re ported to have been taken with gaff hooks by some of the men who found themselves in the midst of a great school of fish. At one or two can neries, where too many fish were re ceived, the loss is heavy. Tons of the fish are being thrown overboard at Kinney's on acoount of the laok of means to preserve them until they oould be canned. As many as possible have been salted for the winter use by the citizens in the west end of town, and were freely given to all who would carry them away. Fishermen assert that never sinoe the canning industry began has suoh a run been seen. If it continues until the close of the season, the ohances are fa vorable for a muoh larger pack than had been anticipated. An unusual feature of the situaton is the quality of the fish, which is fully equal to those taken in June, the flesh- being excep tionally red and firm and the quality of oil abundant. THROWN INTO A CISTERN. Texas Man Slays Ills Family and Dis poses of Their Bodies. Austin, Tex., Aug. 8. T. E. Belt, a member of one of the most respect able families, murdered his wife and two children, aged 2 and 4 years, last Friday night, and plaoed the dead bodies in a cistern. He left the oity Saturday night following the terrible deed, after advising several neighbors not to drink the water in his cistern, as it was polluted. His relatives be came alarmed at the disappearance of his family, and began an investigation, resulting in the finding of the bodies today. . Burt bound his wife in a blanket, after tying her feet and neck together, and then dropped the body into the cistern. Both children had their brains knooked out. His brothers have offered a reward of $800 for his apprehension.,- Burt was at one time a prominent furniture dealer in this oity, but gam bling got the best of him, and last year he failed and was indicted for embez zlement, but his brothers succeeded in getting him out of the trouble. The governor has offered a reward for his arrest. Nothing is known as to Burt s whereabouts, although telegrams have been sent all over the state and to out side cities. ' No motive for the crime is known. DESTROYED BY FIRE. Grass Valley Suffered a Severe Loss ,-,s From the Flames. ; . Grass Valley, Cal., Aug. 8. At 8:20 o'clook tonight, an alarm of fire was sounded for a blaze in the opera house. The fire started under a store oooupied by Ismert and Webbe, and spread with great rapidity. Soon the whole build ing was enveloped in flames, and the adjoining buildings oommenoed to burn and, despite the work of the firemen, it looked as though the whole center por tion of the town would be destroyed. The fire department of Nevada City came over to assist the local depart ment, but a scarcity of water hindered them so they were of little servioe un til an extra head of water was turned In to the supply ditoh. The two de partments did great work and confined the fire to the block bounded by Neal, Church, Auburn and Bank streets. The loss .will exceed f 100, 000, it is thought. Insurance in most oases is small, and the blow is a hard one to the city. 0 '" - 'An Indiana Tragedy. Vinoenhes, ' Jnd., Aug'. 8. Thomas Prather, a' farmer, and Miss Maud Delay, daughter of a wealthy farmer, eloped from Sanborn, this county, and drove to this oity and were married. They then drove back to Sanborn, when an altercation took plaoe between Prather and Clyde Delay, a brother of the bride. Prather fatally shot '. the new brother-in-law in the abdomen. The elopement was planned some time ago, but Prather's marriage license was forcibly taken from him by men tors of the young woman's family. . Neutrality Proclamation. Washington, Aug. 8.

Gladness Gomes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sicknesp are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, andis everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely v4sed and gives most general satisfaction. 1 M m Months' Trip. imii rn curr T ny stress, 0ur . mA.LC.LI rrLL Special J'rl.e List of HOUSEHOLD COOPS, ETC.
