The main stream of lava proceeding
from Vesuvius is 2U0 feet wide, and
it advances at times at the rate of 21
feet in a minute, the Intense heat destroying
vegetation before the strea n
reaches it. The pennants of IVrtlol,
at the west foot, of Vesuvius, oiea ed
their grounds of vineyards and tree*

ploring a miracle to stay the advance
of the consuming stream.
The cemetary at Bosootrecaz has
been invaded by lava.
The scene at night is one of mingled
grandeur and horror, as from the
summit of Vesuvius there leaps a
column of tire fully a thousand feet in
height, the glare lighting the sky and
sea for many miles. Occasionally
great masses of molten stone, some
weighing as much as a ton, areejested

are in extreme terror.
Signor Matteucol, dlreotor of the
observatory. Is working indefatigably.
lie lias had military engineers establish
telephonic connection between
the observatory and points within
rauge of the volcanic activity. The
director said to the Assoclatee 1'reBs
Friday evening that although eruption
presented a grave menace, ho
did n >t believe it would reach the
villages. Indeed he said the present
volca io activity was not altogether
unmixed with good, for If it had not
come to pasH. a violent and sudden i
eruption, having a far wider radius,
might have occurred.
The erupti6n of Mount Vesuvius is
now most violent. On the Pompeii
side the main strepm of lava has divided
into two, one tnreatening
Ottajano, a community of 20,000 inhabitants,
and the other threatening
Torre oel Greco, with a population of
30,000.
The danger is beooming serious and
calls for the immediate evacuation of
B ?80otrecaz, the nearest village to the
crater, which has the population of
9,000 souls.

Senator Tillma' has already given
notice to his fellow members of the
Senate that he will exercise his power
to block Barnes'confirmation. He will
be opposed by Sena'ors Lodge and
Hale both right hand men of tbe
President, and while it is not thought
that Senator Tillman will to able to
keep the nomination from eventually
going through, he will necessarily
hold it up for a while through his
efforts.
"There are many men in Washing

as postmaster of that city
than Barnes," the Senator says, "and
the time has long since passed when
fat otllces were distributed among carpetbaggers."
The tight will be a live

charged with murder was put under
arres' at Hie door to the governor's
til '.o Moncay. The fugitive is Luke
O^ay, wKo Is aroused of aving kilted
Mr. CI IT rd Wo ?dward at Mont
Torenc . Aiken county, on the n ght
of the '1 H of February. Gov I ley vard
last Friday c IT red a reward of
$100 for hhecipture and conviction of
tills n? gro. 'Cue family of the deceas
ed had i flfered a re vard of $50.
Luke Gray appears to hav been be
wlldered when he came to Columbia.
Me 1h a negro of low mentality, and
what he has bed has been 1mpared by
a te.rritto blow on the skull when he
was run over by a train on ttie Southern
railway last summer. There Is a
terrlbie fcar on the left side of his
head, and he says that the dooto'8
havo told him that h will end his life
this summer if he goes out In the
sun.
.Ju*t exactly what he was Intending
to clo when he w< nt to the State cap),
tol is ditllcult to learn, but the negro
navs that he came here to "give hlirse'f
up." Cafes ir Chisholm, the wise
old messenger r f it e governor's olllre,
wno has learned u?uch in his time,
? iirniu ii.vu^iD^ arounu i!ic
capltol, and thought, there was somethifi/
suspicious In his behavior
"T .e man looked like a vagabond "
said Cat sar, "and 1 began to question
oiai 11(5 sad to me that ne was
afraid to kg to Aiken, and 1 thought
Loathe was running from too lynchers.
1 totd lum th>s was the place if
he wanted protection, and 1 got htm
to tome Inside."
About that time Caesar was sent,
up street on s< me errand by the gc v
ernor and the negro remained In the
corridor of the State capltol, where
his appearance caught toe attention
t f some of the attaones of the < tlloes,
but they satd nothing about It at the
time. When Caesar came back he
questioned his protege closely. Luke
Gray mad no attempt to conceal his
name or identity from the beginning.
He said that he had had a ditllculty
with a white man and was afraid to
go back to Aiken.
"What did you do to him?" asked
Caesar.
"Shot him," was the laconic answer.
"And what became of him?" asked
Caesar.
"1 been told that he is dead," said
the negro in reply.
Caesar thought It was then ab( ut
time to look Into the matter from the
standpoint of the governor's ottloe,
and be started 10 ask Oov. Hey ward
if a reward bad been ctfered for tills
fugitive, and to wee if tbere was on
llle any information as to the coirimls
sion of the crime.
Heforo going to the governor wltb
the information, however, Caesar saw
Mr. Iiiers, the State bouse otlicer,
and called Mm to take charge of the
fugitive. Mr. Hlers otllcl&liv put the
negro under arrest after conferring
with Gov. Ileyward as to the crime
in which the nagro admitted his participation.
Mr. Iiiers toik the negro
over 10 the police station and put him
in a cell for safe-keeping until M*
could communicate with the sheriiT
of Aiken countv.
Luke Gray Ulls a strange story. He
declares that he did not attempt to
kill Mr. Wo >dward, but shot in selfdefense
A( ending to his story, he
had gone to the depot to see about a
freight car being placed for some wood,
and while at Moncmorenci he went to
Mr. Woodward's store and taxed the
latter with having annoyed the negro's
wife that afternoon. Mr. Woodward
pulled a knife out of his pocket, so tne
negro says, and advanced. Luke backed
out. of the store and down toward
the railroad station, where Mr. Wood
ward caughe up with him and made a
^hfth at". t.h? nc%itrr\ fP>w? lui.n.
....... I.v V>'U m^iui A IIC lf? U vol VI 1/ I. VY up
his left hand and ciught the blow, but
a deep cut was made* Mr. Woodward
then made another lunge and the ne
gio threw up bis left arm again. lie
states that be felt sure that Mr. Wood
ward meant to kill him, so be deliberately
shot Mr. Woodward with a shotgun.
The shot to k effect In the
wounded man's leftside and he lln
gered for a month.
The negro claims that he had been
carrying the pun constantly, for he
as en ploved by Mr J. II. Ohapmau
10 cut wood, and in tne walk of tlve
miles to and from bis house every ray
fie managed to kill some game oc
casi uiaHy. Mr Cnapm&n had expected
i car t< > le placed that day for some
vood that he was going to ship and
to told the negro to go by and see If
tne car had been placed. It was at
that time that he proceeded to take
Mr. Woodward to task.
Gray is l :j years old. He says that
Mr. Woodward was a young man and
unmarried and that he had a reputaLlou
In that community which made
colored men dislike him. He also declares
that the place of business that
Mr. Woodward kept was not such a
place as was above suspicion from the
dispensary authorities and for that
reason there was always somewhat of
a crowd hanging around and he was
afraid to give himself up that night,
for fear that he would he harmed.
The negro's story was heard by a
number of white people and they
seemed Impressed with the f&ot that
he was trying to tell the truth. He
gave particulars to show his cause of
grievenoa with the deceased, but denies
that he did more than to go to
Mr W .odward to reroostrat*.
Afrer the shooting Gray fled down
Into Barnwell county, to Barton's mi'l
the sain*! place where young Hiwards
was a refuse after the Eutiwville
lynching, which exalted so much of a
stir list year. Here Gray has remalnded
at work In the saw mill owned by
Mr. GilT >rd, and evidently has beer,
kept aivlsed by his ''own color." H?
had started to Aiken to surrender
when he heard of Mr. Wood ward's
death, but when he not to Willlston
naif way between Montmoreocl and
Barton, be learned that there vas
considerable ft eling against him and
it was not. advisable for him to go
there. Consequently, he came od 10
Columbia, and as has been stated, he
appeared to be somewhat bewildered
after he got hf re, althf ugh he declares
U to have been his deliberate pur
pose to surrender. Toe negro does not
d.'ny that he shot with the intention
of killing, but denies that he carried
the gun there for that purpose. He
says that B >b CorDv and another negro
were eve witness. He does not
know whether or not any others saw
the shooting.

pitrlotsof the south were called cn

way of feeding a famished army.
These stores were collected at and
dispensed from designated points in
each county.
At a little railroad station in Lau

a trusted friend, .1 je L gon, to act as

were required to secure the provisions;
but always of a kindly nature, Joe

hungry fellow soldier, order or no order.
These were passing dally, sd the
scanty hoard was soon gone.
As the time for rendering his report
of "stores on hand" drew near, he
real '/.id that by ever so charitable a

ABOUT PUSH BALL.
How TliIn Very Interestlnir G?me la
I'll* yed.
I'lish ball Is played on a gridiron Held
or lloor IL'O yards long by tlfty wide,
with goal posts at either end twenty
feet apart and connected by a crossbar
seven feet from the ground. The
mammoth ball, almost globular in
shape, should measure six feet In diometer
and weigh between forty-eight
and fifty pounds. It is usually iutlated
with compressed air.
The ball is placed In the middle of
the field, and the teams line up as follows:
Five forwards ou the forty yard
line, two left and two right wings ou
the twenty yard line and two goal
keepers on the goal line, eleven men
each. At the sound of the referee's
whistle both sides plunge at full speed
upon the ball, and then the fun begins.
If the ball Is caught fairly between
the two human battering rams there is
n rebound from its elastic sides that
sends the players sprawling like tenpins.
It does not take long, however, for
tlie entire twenty-two men to get
around the sphere, put their shoulders
to the wheel, so to speak, and push for
every ounce of energy In them. The
heavier, stronger team will, of course,
have the advantage, but some trick
plays have been Invented which lend
variety to the game and redeem it
from being u featureless contest of
more bruwii and muscle. ? Nations!

For reading during convalescence the
British Medical Journal proscribes literature
that cheers hut does not inebriate,
and warns persons recovering
from Illness against writers "whose
style, like that of (leorge Meredith, puts
n constant strain on the understanding
of the render, or, like that of Maurice
Hewlett, Irritates by lis artificial glitter,
or like that of Marie C'orelli, annoys
by Its frothy Impertinence." Dickens
should go well during convales- I
cence, except "Pickwick," at least in
surgical cases, because of the many
side splitting episodes which would
play havoc with the union of parts.
For the same reason, in order that
healing granulations may not be interfered
with, Mark Twain's works are
absolutely Interdicted.
"Smiles' 'Self Help' Is quite Innocuous,"
says the learned Journal, "but we
should be cautious in recommending It
In order that the patient may not thereby
be led to meditate over a misspent
career and to have suggested to him

and which might even prove fatal,
Thackeray, except 'Vanity Fair,' which

will certainly entertain."
SKULLS FOR CUPS.
Rarltnrnun CtiNtom of Fierce Trll?e?
of Nnrllinni
Tho barbarous custom of converting
the skulls of enemies Into drinking
cups was a common one In ancient
times among the lleree tribes of northern
Europe and was not unknown t?
the people of the more civilized regions
farther south. The Italian poet, Marino,
causes an assemblage of friends
to quaff their wine from tlie skull of
Minerva, and In ills "Wonder of a
Kingdom" Torrent makes Dakker say :
Wquld I had ten thousand soldiers' heads,
Their skulls set all In silver, to drink
healths
To his confusion who first invented war.
Thomas Middleton, a dramatic writer
of tho early part of the seventeenth
century, is believed to he the origiuator
of the phrase, "A soldier's drinking
cup," as applied to a human skull.
In "The Witch," one of his most celebrated
plays, the duke takes a bowl,
which he Is told Is a human skull,
whereupon be exclaims:
Call It u soldier's, cup.
Our duchess, I know, will pledge ?m.
though tho cup
Was once her father's head, which aa a
trophy
We'll keep till death.
One of the delights of the immortals,
as represented in the old Scandinavian
sagas, is that of drinking to drunkenness
from the skulls of vanquished
foes.

Scii-nce mid llcllKion,
Science, or, rather, sclent ism, for ->f I
science we must always speak w'th I
love and admiration, has failed In all
Its pretentions In so far as It was t.p- I
posed to religion. It Is bankrupt, as
Brunetlcre says, and, as Balfour stys,
"The foundations of belief are stlli socure."?Rev.
I)r. I). J. Stafford, lto-unn

IIotv to (llorlUV God.
The only effective vn\y of glorPylng
God Is by living worthy of our exiling
and having power In our lives. It Is
not by what we profess, but by what
we do; not so much by singing his
praises as by living IiIr life. We glorify
him by the name of Christian, but
much more by the character of a Clrlstian.

Work For Each Church Member.
Each member should find his coin-dement
somewhere, and uo man or woman
In the church should be doing nothing.
We ought not to wait until our^
part "turns up," as so many scenvfolB
do. We should seek for our place and
part, for such search will ho evidence
of our sincerity and our finding It will
be proof of our success.?Rev. (
Lloyd, Episcopalian, St. I.ouls.
DiiIIiIIiik Up of ClinrnctrT, \
Character Is built up by an acdumu- \
lation of small things faithfully (lone.
Men go to ruin by neglecting small
virtues and then greate.r ones aud
finally are Irretrievably lost. 'The
things that make us happy In this life
and are necessary to It are very common
things after all. Benedict Arnold Jfl
on his deathbed said to his physPhm I
he had jlist one want. lie wanted 0110 H
friend.?Rev. C. J. Tannar, Christian H
Church, Detroit.
Effort of Socialism.
The ride of Socialism would be a rule
of tyranny, the tyranny of the average,
of the commonplace. Everything nrw
and fresh would he silenced. Nature
Is against, this sort of thing. Evo.u- I
tlon is only another name for crrowth
away from sameness toward ever mcrenslng
complexity. I believe that ty
and by there is to be a grander type >f
what you may call socialism If y>u
please, better than the woiud has e^er
seen, but it will be entirely free from
that of the past, from that which sorao
are trying to establish now. It will
be the free oo-operatlon of perfected
Individuality, all working together inpolled
by the love of the common go<d.
There is no use In giving people f:ee
democratic institutions until they cm
appreciate them and guard them aud
make the best of them.?Rev. I)r. Ml*ot
J. Savage, Unitarian, New York.
Value of Co-ojierutlon.
Every Industrious humau life thntls
successful always co-operates wth
other lives. Every Ideal human orgmlzation
on a large scale must be a p rfect
human ant hive. Everywhere niman
talent should be specialIzW'f Wiat
especial niche are you going tl> All in
the great human beehive? Wren I go
and closely examine the wonderful nosale
floors and walls and ceilings of
the Alhambrn of the old Spanish Mo>rs
I do not find these Individual stoics
very valuable In themselves. Many of
them are only common pebbles that**?
might spurn with our feet In the st^?t
gutter. But when these common lobbies,
as Individuals, are cut and ol"
Ished and placed side by side lu contrast
with other stones they form the
beautiful mosaics of the Alham*rn?
which are one of the marvels of hie
century. You as an Individual may?0*
amount to much, but If cut and*?*"
lslied and fitted Into the right niche'?*
which you were Intended by God oU
can become part of the perfect w/'?
of the Temple Beautiful. {.Ike the
