Tammany Hall had $300,000.00
in its treasury at the close of the
last campaign, according to com
mon report, but between that time
and the selection of Lewis Nixon
as chief, all this money diseppear

to do with Nixon's resignation.
There is to be an investigation to
find where the money went, but

Missouri voters are asked to sup
port a compound interest scheme
that piles up debts appallingly. The
school fund certificates of Indebted
ness now amount to more than four
millions and it has been the policy
of the present state administration
to use all accumulated interest for
other purposes and issue additional
certificates therefor. Early in Feb
ruary there was sum of $4,000 in
the school fnnd treasury. This was
transfencd to other funds and a cer
tificate of indebtedness placed in its
stead, drawing interest from the
moment it was issued. Now these
certificates are classed as irreduci
ble debts and under the present pol
icy of compounding the interest, this
$4,000 will amount to $S.oooin

Congressman Williams of Illi

that tbe government shall defray the

induced to offer this bill by reason
of his experience in tecuring pen

granted but the parties died in dis
tressing circumstances before they
received any benefit from the bounty

which dottroyed Lisbon In 1755.

Dr. Johnson strenuously comhattcd

thut the cnithqunke had ever oc
curred. The woist Miferer from this form
of calamity in the last century was
the kingdom of Naples. In 1S57,
when 10,000 pet ished there, it was
estimated that iu seventy-five yeais
it bad lost 111,000 inhabitants by
earthquakes, or more than 1,500 a
year of a population of 6 millions.
Peru and Ecuador, too, have suffer
ed severely. In 1 S59 Quito was
shaken and a?ioot 5,000 persons
killed, while nine years later several
towns in the two states were over
thrown with a loss of 15,000 lives.
The most important earthquake of
recent years was in Japan in tSqi
when 50,000 hous-es were destroyed
and 4,000 persons killed.
The United States has been hapi
ly spared such catastrophes. It has
felt only three earthquakes of im
portance. The first was in the
Mississippi valley in 1S11 when
great chasms opened at New Mad
rid. The disturbances lasted two
years. In 1S71 thirty persons were
killed in California and sixteen
years ago 4 1 perished at Charleston.
Shocks in the West Indies as well
a in Central and South Ameiica
have been fairly frequent. Marti

in August, 1767, and 700 in Janu

The destruction of St. Pierre was
due to a volcanic eruption. Dut
the phenomena of volcanoes and
earthquakes are so closely related
that they are usually considered to
gether, The eaithquake is fre
quently associated with volcanic
activity. When it appears as an
isolated phenomenon it is usually
ascribrd ts tension set up by forces
working in the earth's crust. In tbe
case of Martinique very little tremor
was imparted to the ground by the
vokauic eruption. The force
seems to have expended itself up
ward. The results were disastrous
simply because of the city's proxinv
ity to the mountain.
