The Story of a Great Catastrophe. "Oh, that I had never eon the island of Martinique I" With these words Frank R. Roberson Introduced one of the finest lectures ever heard upon the rostrum of Assembly hall, and before he finished the talo of St. Pierre' awful doom, his hearers fully understood the meaning of his opening words. Mr. Roberson was a member of the commis sion appointed by President Roosevelt to carry food and offorings of the Amer ican publio to the people of Martinique after the volcanic eruption of Mt. Pclee last year, and in his lecture he described what he saw with his own eyes, illus trating It with dissolving photographlo views taken upon the spot. When on the tea bound for Martinique, Mr. Rob erson' ship put Into the harbor of St. Thomas, in the Danish West Indies, and the lecturer took occasion to show a tow not very desirable specimens of these people who may some day be fol low American citizens. Wben the party finally arrived at Martinique and cast anchor In the har bor of Fort deFrance, which Is fourteen and one-half miles from Mt. Pelee, the ship was surrounded by boat manned by negroes. Supposing them to be fam ished refugee tbe Americans offered them food, but to their surprise the na tives replied by offering to sell tho relief expedition all the food they want ed at three times the regular price. This was afterward explained by the fact that of the people of St. Pierre, who would naturally be destitute, hard ly one was left alive. . From Fort de France the party went to St. Pierre, the scene of the catastrophe. Here tbe lecturer called attention to the island's distinction df being the birthplace of Josephine, who afterward became tbe wife of Napoleon the Great. Her tragic life lent a melancholy Inter est to these scenosof her childhood. A scone was thrown showing the beautiful city of St. Pierre nestling be side the rugged hills and shadowed by the gloomy peak of Pelee four and one half miles away. This city, surrounded by the most luxuriant tropical scenery In the world, was also reputed as tbe gayest and most Immoral spot on tbe face of the earth. Without a moment's warning, like the crack of doom, Mt. Pelee exploded and thirty-one thousand people were killed in the twinkling of itneye. so terrlllo was the report that It was heard from four to six hundred miles away. In a succession of scenes Mr. Roberson showed the fearful desola tion that was wrought. Graves were laid open, the skeletons brought to light. Long streets once prosperous with business, now nothing but heaps of scattered stone and brick. The dead, abounding everywhere, decaying under the hot sun,' bad to be put in piles and burnt. Nothing but ruin, desolation and death. Of the thousands there, but one man, a murderer in a dungeon, escaped instant death and he, at sight of the awful ruins, went mad. In con cluding the lecturer described his own thrilling escape from death wben at tempting to scale Mt. Peloe. A sudden shower of lava came down upon them, they ran for the ocean's edge, jumped in and finally reached their boat, but not until badly burned. The last soene a colorod picture of Mt. Pelee in erup tion with Its lurid flames and roiling smoke thrown heaven high, the de scription of It terrible rumble and roar and tbe memory of the ruin It had wrought, indelibly fixed upon the aud ience the only name fitting It, in its truest and most awful sense, a veritable hell upon earth.

It I tbe experience ot publisher that too many people are apt to think it matters but little whether the news paper bill la paid promptly od not that It is but a small sum and therefore of little consequence. And this is not be cause subscribers are unwilling to pay but rather because they are negligent. Each one Imagine that because his year' indebtedness amounts to but a small turn, tbe publishers cannot be much in need ot it without a moment' thinking that the Income of a news paper is made up of just such small aooounts, and that the aggregate of all subscriber Is by no mean an inconsid erate sum of money.
