Naples, April 11.--Conditions to night in the section affected by the eruption of M'ont Vesuvius are great ly ameliorated. The fall of volcanlio ashes .has dininislhed and cientists express the opinion that the volcano has spent itself. All the papers to night advise the public to be calm, pointing out the improved condition of affairs. The papers -also eulogize Director Matteucci for his courage in returnjng to the ruined observa tory on Mount Vesuvius and suiiding from that place messeges of encour agement and expressiohs of confidence that Vesuvi,us'will soon quiet' down. Plicesoef Amusement Closed. The theatres, cafes and other places of amusement throughout the city have been closed, and before all the sacred images in the streets candles are kept burning, while smaller im ages are being carried about, in many 3ases being 'set down in the open air' and surrounded.by candles. Troops are. engaged .in clearing the roofs of buildings of the accumulation )f sand and ashes, "which endangers the structures. The large glass cov 3red galleries. troughout the city, ivhich are much frequented, have been >rdered closed, lest the Weight upon the roofs should cause them to col. apse.

So widespread is tihe catastrophe hat it is estimated it will require aif rganized body of 100,000 men and the expednditure of nmarig' millions of lollars to raze houses renidered unsafe Eor' habitation sby the accumulation of ?shles and cinders on tlie roofs;' erect temporary huts of refuige , for the thousands who have been. obliged to' flee' from their homes; clear the roofs af buildings that may yet be save'%, and extricate ffom ime' ruins of fallen utruetures a'nd bury 'the dead. The distress among the tens of thiousands o'f fugitives is appalling. l'he government has forwarded p. plies of food and .money, severalo the Italian eities have done the same, lund private citizens are contributing inoney for the assistance of the suf rerers, but more help is needed. Activity of The King. King Victor Emmanuel ha( placed the Royal Palace at Cappodimonti, situated above this city, at the dispos al of 'the '.injured refugees and early in the day announced his intention of' retftuiig'to' Naples from Rome in order to personally direct the relief work. The news 'caused much satis faction and when their majesties reached Naples this evening they re ceived a most enthusiastic greeting. Later the King and Queen visited the sufferers in the' hospital and .were cheered heartily ' as thley passed thIrough the' streets. Although the report that Sarno has been dlestr'oyed is denied, it ist no0w omelally admit ted thnmt Ottajano has beeon buried. The casualtiQs there and 'nthes urrounding vilnges are not kilown, but 300, it is bqlievedl, would be a low estimate..

We are glad to announce for thi Mehrtens Piano Recital, the appear ance of Mrs. Nellie Sweeney Palmel as vocalist. .Mrs. Palmer is a dramatic sopran of much sympathy -and power, and has had the advantage of many years training under the best masters 61 Europe and America. Notably Sig' nor Ettore Barilli, (brother and teach er 'of. Patti) Signor's .D'auria Cle mont Fetedeoux, and. Mr. Hermali Klein, the well.known Metropolitam coach. P Mrs. Palmer has sung in the lead ing cities of the country, and much regret was expressed when she chose teaching instead of singing as her life work. As a teacher Mrs. Palmer has gain ed distinction. For a number of years she iaF worked in her native state, Virginia, and has earned an enviable reputa. tion in conservative old Richmond,_ where sie taught privately as well a in "The Richmond Conservatory ol Music," "Benedictine Academy and the ''Woman 's College.'' I have known Mrs. Nellie Sweeney Palmer a number of years, and car heartily commend her to any persor with whom she may be associated She has taught vocal music in thh school and given great satisfaction.

Shipping Away Weal$h. -The editor of tihe Southern Earrr Magazine says: Thi constant shipment of cattle tc Cuba leads the Florida* Times-Unior to estirhnate the impoverishment oi the soil 'thereby, and to urge th< elarrghtering of cattle and tIhe utiliza tio n, of skin, bones, horns, ets., withir 31h'e limits of tire 'state.

Before the war, it ,hanced that in a hotel barroom in ,Can'4aa, -not far 1 from the -line, a group wore seated, when a bright lookii Vegro entered. "I s'pose you're a runaway slave," said one, looking sharply at the new oomer. Feeling that he was pretty well away from bondage,. the darkey re sponded that he was. "Ai, indeed; well, we're glad of it, but you don't seem to look .very poor -have good clothes'down qouth?" "Certainly," said the darkey, with some pride, "same clothes as my mas "But you got many a good thrash ing, el ?" "Never had a whipping in my life.' Never thrashed !'" said another; "well, but you niggers don't get enough to eat, do you?' "Always had enough, gemmen; never went hungry."

Lord Odo Russell while calling on Prince Bismarek during the sitting of the Berlin conference asked him hoi lie managed to rid himself of that class of importunate visitors whom lie could not well refuse to see, but whose room lie found preferable to their company. a"O," replied the chancellor, "I have a very simple method.

New'Women Citizens. That a woman who directs a home and trains up children is a responsi ble citizen with a large share of stat6 business to perform is suggested by the title of'a series of articles begun in The New Idea Woman's Magazine for April.- ''The Evolution of- Our Wome,n Citizens: 1. Their Arrival" deals with' the landing at Ellis Island of women from RussiA, Italy, Ger many, and other peasant-producing European states; and 'considers them as the raw material out of which American women citizens, witi Amer ican aims and ideals are to be made. rhe writer, Miss Elizabeth Howard Westwood, tells of the inducements affered to emigrant women to come to America, of the dangers they have to meet on the landing, of the protee tion societies which have sprung up to care for dofenceless women' and girls, of the fathers and husbands and friends who meet them at the end of their - painful steerage journey. In round in managing the hand-embroid ery of an American silk stocking fac tory the prop of falling fortune, the writers says: -"If American opportun ities can thus induce the high class Coreigner woman to forsake comfort %ble home, family ties,: social position -what must be the hire with which It calls to the woman who has nothing iut misery to lose and -vorythiing that makes life livable to win." One ,lannot but acknowledge, however, in abserving the doubtful Paradise of lew set of problems in undertaking mr city slums, that much has yet to )e done before our peasant iimi rrants do more than grapple with a teresting 'realistic. photographs are iown.
