New York, May 19.—Laden with contributions for the relief of the inhabitants of Martinique, the Quebec line steamship Fontabelle sailed Saturday for Fort de France. Every cubic foot of freight space was occupied by the cargo of 21,000 bar rels of goods, more than half of which are food-stuffs and medical supplies contributed by the asso ciated relief committees, and the main deck was filled with sheep, baled hay, carboys of disinfectants and lumber. a New York, May 19.—Ferdinand Clerc, a millionaire, and mayor of Trinite, is one of the few persons who witnessed the eruption of Mont Pelee and lived to tell about it, says a dispatch to the World from St. Marie, Martinique. He says on the morning of May 8 he noticed the rumblings from the volcano which were louder than they had been up to that time. The barometer in his house fluttered violently and he at once noti fied his servants to harness mules to his carriage and prepare for flight. Clerc took his wife and four children with him and rushed from the city. He warned all his friends to hasten away also, but his advice was dis credited. %,*»,*- He left behind him at the house 28 of his friends gathered at his call and whom he advised to get away as quickly as they could. As Clerc and his family were leaving St. Pierre, he saw Mr. Prentis, the American con sul, standing in front of Ma house with Mrs. Prentis. Mr. Clerc called out to Prentis and warned him to flee the eity at once, but the consul only laughed and waved his hand aa he answered: "Oh, there is no dan ger. Don't be afraid." When Clerc reached Morne Bouge, distant from St. Pierre about six miles, he looked back and saw a huge a of elate eolored stone* and eshee beret frost Mont Pelee sad tumble down on St. nena This was ^^^w^^^^^^^w^^^^^^^^l^^fe'llf^n 4#"f Immediately folIowed*by a great wall of flame which seemed to rise and topple over on the doomed town.

A man named Lazzerne with a con** panion was entering St. Pierre in a small carriage drawn by a pair of mules. The mules were instantly killed and Lazzerne and his friend were severely burned, but the coach man, who was between the mules and the two men, was not burned or in jured in the least.

New York, May 19.—The Presby terian general assembly met Saturday in the Fifth Avenue PresbyteriaJta. church, with Vice Moderator Daniel B. Noyes presiding. A half-hour de votional service preceded the business session, which was- opened by reading the minutes of Friday's meeting. The several standing committees were re quested to go into session in chapel and prepare their reports for hearings before the assembly next week. Dr. Parry made a plea for the old Presbyterian clergymen, and men tioned many instances where superan nuated clergymen had suffered cruel want. "Is this worthy of the wealthy Presbyterian church?" he asked. "I know of one instance not long asfo where an old minister 70 years old died, and had to be given a pau per's funeral, in a church where there were over 70 millionaires. Shame on such a church The report of the committee on min isterial relief was accepted and it was agreed that there should be a further discussion of it next week.

Reports received from a major portion of the territory covered by theassociation in dicate a material falling off in the acreage planted to wheat and an in crease in the coarse grain acreage.''* EL A. Barrage, secretary of the Southern Minnesota and Sooth, Dakota Grain ^Dealers' association, has com piled an estimate of the wheat acreage Of thirty-five counties in Minnesota covered by the report, four—Fillmore, Waseca, Olmstead and Swift—report the same acreage planted to wheat as last year, and but slight change in the coarse grain acreage. Jackson and Pipestone counties are estimated to have about half the wheat acreage of last year. In no instance was there an estimate of a smaller coarse grain acreage, while Big Stone county is es timated to have a corn acreage twice as large as last year. The average decrease in wheat acre age of the thirty-five counties report ing is estimated at 19.9 per cent, as compared with last year, while the acreage of oats is estimated to have ,^f" increased 8 per cent and corn 11.14 per cent Climate and Crop Bulletin. The very wet conditions of previous weeks continue in the Red River val ley, so that very little or no seeding has been possible. In other parts of the state field work has been partly or enterely suspended because of the wet condition of the soil. In the south west considerable corn has been plant ed, but elsewhere, except in small areas, warmer weather is being waited for before planting. Flax seed and potato planting are generally well ad vanced, and the earliest are coming up. It is said that the soil is in splen did condition for sowing flax on newly turned sod. There seem to be poor stands in a few fields in the south where broadcasted wheat and oats were blown out or buried by the wind storms of April, but generally all the small grains are in fine and healthy condition, the abundant moisture and cool weather being very favorable for these grains. Stooling is going on satisfactorily in the early sown fields. Pastures are growing nicely, notwith standing the cool weather. Clover and timothy promise well. The plum blos soms are nearly over, and apple and cherry trees are ready to burst into bloom. Medals Received Minnesota's winnings at the Buffalo exposition have been received by Gov ernor Van Sant. There are five gold medals, three silver and one bronze. The gold medals were received on the following exhibits.

The bronze medal was for the gram and grass figure exhibited in the agricultural booth. Indicted. Detectives James C. Howard and John EL Morrissey are the first mem bers of the Minneapolis police depart ment to be called to the bar of justice by the grand jury. They were ar raigned before Judge Simpson on three indictments each, charging them with asking for a bribe, agreeing to receive a bribe and finally receiving a bribe. Although the charges grow out of the same transaction, the men have been indicted separately and will be tried separately. Both men pleaded not guilty after the indictments had been read. Double Murder. Julius W. Voight, a traveling man, shot and killed Miss Ruth Welch, of Verndale, and then blew out bis own brains at the Parker hotel, Minneap olis. Unrequited affection is believed to have been the cause of the double tragedy. The young woman's death was not instantaneous. She expired in the patrol wagon that was convey ing her to the hospital. Her murderer, who turned the gun upon himself im mediately after shooting the woman, fired a bullet into his month and fell to the floor dead. News Motes. O. W.

Th progressive city of Newark, fn New Jersey, recently inaugurated a system of playgrounds for the unfortu nate street gamin, whom poverty de nies the wholesome pleasure of ft country outing, that may well be lmi. tated by other cities. *$ •, wni A privately officered educational as* •ociation conceived the beneficent scheme, says the New York News, but the city authorities have done all in their power to contribute to its suc cessful operation. In all there are eleven recreation places. Ten of these are in the yards of as many public schools,, six of them open all day and four others in the afternoon. They have been fitted with bins and the bins filled with sand, and to the little ones who are to play in and play with the sand, with its ac companying shovel and paiL will bring imaginary whiffs of the cooling sea air in the heated season. It was tried in the summer with the idea of keep ing the juveniles out of the streets. The experiment proved an unqualified success and a blessing to the little ones, whose parents or guardians are not endowed with a fair supply of this world's goods. There is no denying the fact that the benevolence that prompted these breathing spots for the poor children* of the city of Newark is of the service able kind. Better citizenship into which the favored little ones will grow will be the result. If all great cities had these play grounds, the children would not throng the*streets, where they grow wild and hear things and see sights which can not fail to have a bad effect upon their morals. Anything that keeps these waifs out of mischief and contaminating influ-, ence is to be commended. OVERHEAD WIRES. Not Destro Only a but Beaut of a Street. Among the city nuisances with whict the coming years will have to deal en ergetically Is the cumbering of the streets with overhead wires, says the Springfield (Mass.) Daily Republican. A network of wire is not only ugly in Itself, but it destroys tl)f «-uty of a street No one who ha a busy thoroughfare cleared ol ail this wire rigging overhead can fail to have noted the great relief to the eye, the effect ot trimness and largeness given by the removal of all this cumbersome appara tus, which is as out of place a pub lie thoroughfare as a clothesline in a parlor. The transfer cannot be made all at once, and it is already going on slowly It is to be seen to with vigilance that there be no needless delay in effect ing a change which is imperative on both utilitarian and aesthetic grounds Here the representatives of the people will from time to time have an oppor tunity to do good woik, not in an un reasonable spirit, but with steady firm ness. The ideal, not to be reached at once, but some time, is the common great conduit underground, built and owned by the city, and giving room for all wires. The mechanical difficulties are considerable, but not insurmountable. Cambridge intends to try the experi ment, and when there are sufficient data Springfield will doubtless be prompt to adopt a system bringing so substantial relief. lila-ht I the Schoolroom. Too much attention cannot be paid to the question of light in the school room, says Youth's Companion. Many children are made premature wrecks from unrecognized eye strain, and school visitors may often see small, helpless children sitting blinking in the sunlight which streams through a large window in front of them, making frowning efforts through the glare to read from a blackboard and using up in a few hours the nerve force of a week. Light should be abundant and should come from the left side, so that no shadow is thrown on slate or book, as is the case when the light comes from behind or from the right. Inquisitiv Penanalna. We often met companies of six or eight or more penguins promenading on the arctic ice pack in the sunshine. When they saw us, they generally ex hibited curiosity and approached to get a nearer view. I do not know if these birds have the instinct of the naturalist and take a lively interest, doubtless philosophic from their point of view, in everything new which pre sents itself or if the object of their investigations is entirely practical, but they certainly came near us with a dis. tinct purpose of making examination. But If we had the misfortune to ex* cite much curiosity they became ag gressive. One would first come close to us and reconnolter, and then, on bit order, the others would advance with menacing air, and the battle began, a battle In which we sometimes had trouble to demonstrate effectively our superior strength^-3eogranfaical Mag- Wae Marin.
