Pelee eruption reported sweeping to Caribbean and Galveston
Galveston residents find pumice on the beach between Sixth and Eighteenth streets and speculate lava carried by waves from Mont Pelee 1500 miles away. Deputy County Clerk Clem Kuhnel notes fresh lava, whales and fish floating westward, and a sulfurous atmosphere with strong tides. Vessels report sea upheavals between Martinique and St Lucia as Soufriere shows renewed activity. Reports tie eruptions to lunar changes and reefs. Negroes on Martinique allegedly hold orgies amid whites' deaths.

Short Talks On Advertising Significance
John Wanamaker argues discontinuing an ad is like removing your sign. An ad is the visible sign of who you are and what you do, with newspapers multiplying that sign to reach thousands. Advertising starts with desirable goods and then estimates the audience likely to see them.
