In speaking of the large number of
applications for pardons which are
now pouring into the executive office,
Governor Lowndes said in a recent in
terview;
81 am more convinced than ever
that we should have board of par
dons in this State, to examine all such
cases and recommend the Executive
what to do. Other States have these
boards, and | shall recommend the
next General Assembly to pass law
creating such body.
ut is impossible for the Executive
to go into these cases with that thor
oughness which they require. AS it is
now, in most cases the Executive is
really able to learn but one side of the
case, and that the favorable side, for
those who get the pardons are gener-
ally backed by people of influence,
and those who may be opposed to the
issuance of the pardon rarely ever ap-
pear to protest against it,

The last big eruption that occurred
was in 1872. In the early fifties there
was another mighty eruption. In
1917 the fire mountain was in frequent
activity, and in the eighteeth century
fourteen memorial eruptions occur

1894, the destructiveness of which ref

Discovered by a Woman,

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by lady in this
country. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood it's severest tests,
but her vital organs were undermined
and death seemed imminent. For
three months she coughed incessant-
ly, and could not sleep. She finally
discovered a way to recovery, by
purching of us, bottle of DR.. Kings

was SO much relieved on taking first
dose, that she slept all night; and
with two bottles, has been absolutely
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz."

nal in voices that seemed filled with
the solemnity of dread Outside the
mighty, flaming torrent came with
ing creature of Dante's dreams
But the lookout men posted on the
mountain side made no interruption
of the service, for there was no added
warming to give. And coming closer,
with all the hideous aspect of the peo-
pie filed slowly out into the street,
hoping for the mercy they had just
invoked.
| was reminded by Yesterdays cere-
mony of a similar service that has been
held in Tore del Greco during the
,eItble eruption of 1894, on the even
ing of the night when the town, with
its 10000 inhabitants, was destroyed.
In the library at Naples is vivid de-
scription of the event written by an
eminent Italian geologist. In the part
which relates to the destruction of
Tore del Greco, the writer says:
'The first direction of the ocean of
lava was toward Portici and Resina,
so that the inhabitants of Tore al
ready bewailed the fate of their neigh
bors, and began their thanksgiving
to the Almighty for their escape. Col
lected together in the church, they
were all still singing hymns of joy,
when man suddenly dashed into the
edifice with a shrill cry of warming.
The congregation rushed madly
into the street, ,and already the mighty
surging noise of the onrushing
stream was over-powering every other
sound. 1t was learned that the vast
stream of lava that had once promised
to flow away from Tore, had divided
into three branches, and the might
est volume of all was descending
upon the doomed town. Presenting
a width of from 1900 to 1900 feet, it
roared on its resistless way, submerg-
ing the little city, carrying everything
before it, and devouring many human
victims, too
The eruption that is now in full
fury may yet eclipse the destructive
ness of the one above described
Strolling around the mountain yes
terday, l counted with the aid of
strong glasses nine seperate craters,
each reeking with its hemorrhage of
flame. These mean nothing more nor
less than nine separate sources of dan
ger And each successive day may add
more to the direful number | have
talked with many seismic experts, but
all are at sea with respect to the pos
sibilities of the present eruption
Only one, Cay. Petronelli, expressed
the belief that the disturbances would
subside without any very general des-
tructiveness. He was of the opinion
that the eruption would continue
with gradually increasing violence for
about three weeks more and would
then cease. He believes that the
mlSnCy engine mas nearly burned 1t
self out, and says there are reasons
for thinking that hereafter nothing
more than a few fierce sputters will
occur before the volcano shall have
become finally extinct
Other experts of equal authority
claim that the forces: of Vesuvius are
almost inexhaustible;tha its furnaces
cover acre upon acre of area in the in
terror of the earth, and that sub
stratum of rock and soil for circum-
ference of hundreds of miles, drawn
thither by the draft of the flames,
keeps feeding the monster furnace.

and was buried at that place on the 9Th
She ha d been Ill for quite awhile,
and on a gradual decline for still a
longer time. Death came not unex-
pectedly, but still it was a sorrowful
family but many not of that tender
relation. All the many years of her
quiet, blameless life, a resident of
Garrett county, till February last,
since then of Frostburg. Quiet and
unpretending in her nature and man
ner, thoroughly domestic in all her
ways and habits. To her the humble,
neatly kept little home was very dear.
There rested her pleasure and com
fort. The home circle of late years
was small, only herself and her faith
full Millard. The two were inseparable
but now asunder-one yet here and
the other hence where her faith in
her Redeemer gives a rest, not in her
many years found below. She was a
member of the Reform Church for
many years past. Her surviving
children are Millard Fillmore, Sarah
Mereberg and Ellen Stevens. Her
brother, VIM. Knoyer died in 1885, in
Frostburg-a soldier in the war.
Her only surviving sister is Hannah
Knoyer, a bright, intelligent and re
spectacle lady; never married. The
deceased's husband, jeremiah burst,
died fifteen years ago, loved and re-
spected by all for his kindly, oblig-
ing and genial nature.
While upon these lines things of the
''long deathly past ask for renewed
recollections of days when we were
youthful scholars at the Little
Meadows when Charles G.. Slonaker
was master" This span of cruel
years has sent the many to the be-
Yond, with but a few survivors to
lamely tell what has happened.
This little contribution should not
close without some reference to
George Knoyer, the father of the
deceased. He died in 1869 at the
great age of S6 years and over near
Grantsville. He served in the U. S.
Army-think three enlistments, nine
years in all. Was in the battle of
Lundy's Lane, under Gen. Scott.
Heard that great chieftain give the
order to Col. Miller to take an annoy
ing battery, and the laconic reply 81
will try, sir" And take it he did
with Knoyer in the storming party.
He was wounded in the foot, but did
his full share in the daring assault
He was a great admirer of Gen. Scott,
and the other great general of the
war of 1912, Gen. Jacob Brown of
high renown, as he put it. Our Legis-
lature in 1868 gave him small pen
sion. He lived to know of the recog-
milton but not to enjoy its fruits.
George Knoyer and his memory
deserves all this, and even more.
Two other veterans of the same war:
Walter Wilbur and Thomas Drain
were coupled with him in the law.

A SAD HOMECOMING.


tend the Funeral of Mrs. McKin-
ley's Brother.
CANTNN, o., Oct. 9.-President and
Mrs Mckinley arrived from Washing
ton to-day for the funeral of Mrs. Nc
Kinley's brother, George d. Saxton,
who was shot and killed Friday night
by a woman.
The party came on the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago express at
1925 a. m, travelling in the special
car "Campania." Mr.. NJ. G. Barber,
the Presidents brother-in-law, was at
the station with several friends of the
family and DR.. Framfeulter, who was
called to take charge of Private John
Barber, nephewsof Mrs. Mckinley.
Barber is recovei1As from all attack
of typhoid.
The President and Mrs. Mckinley
were first out of the car and were as
sisted through the station to the car
riage in waiting. AS they approached
a crowd which had gathered. the
throng with heads uncovered and
bowed, silently opened passage way
through which the President and his
wife passed. Mrs. Mckinley was sup
ported by the arm of the President.
They walked slowly to the carriage
with heads bowed and faces a little
paler than usual
Mrs. Barber Mrs McKinIey's sister,
was next off the train and was Joined
by her husband. Mr.. Webb c.. HAYES
followed. John Barber was carried
from the train by his brother, George
Barber, who had gone from New York
to Washington to join the party.
The President and the others went
direct to the Barber home, which is
the old SaXtOn homestead and was
the Canton home Of the McKinlevs
during thePresident's life inCongress.
Mrs. Mckinley laid down for a little
rest. She showed evidence of the suf-
ferings from the shock and of fatigue
from the journey, but was able to be
about the house. Mrs Barber shows
evidence of her care and concern for
the son she has been nursing and also
OF the shock of the news of her broth
er's death, but also bore up we'll.
Both sisters and the President saw
the body.
Mrs. Annie George, the woman sus-
pected of firing the fatal shots, is in
Jail, an affidavit charging murder in
the first degree having been filed
against her by Prosecuting Attorney
Pomerene before Magistrate Reigner's
Court. 1t is signed by Lawyer j. j.
Grant, who was a personal friend of
SaXton as well as counsel for him.
Major Rice and James Sterling are
counsel for Mrs. George.
She will be arraigned at ten o'clock
tomorrow. The officers say that
neither her appetite nor her rest is
disturbed by her confinement. She
is cool and collected and still main
tains silence on every feature CON
nected with the tragedy or with her
movements.
The post morton examination on
the body of Mr.. Saxton showed two
superficial shot wounds, a third bullet
entering the left breast and a fourth
entering the left side five inches be-
low the third rib, passing through the
lower abdomen and supposedly caus-
ing death.
There is some gossip that Saxton
may have been enticed to the Alt
house residence by a decoy letter.
This is based on a statement of Mrs.
Althouse that SaXton knew she was
not at home that evening and that
she did not expect to be and therefore
had no reason to call.

the Oldest resident hereabouts avOws
his belief that never within the life
time of a living man has such a scene
of violence been witnessed on Vesu-
vius.
Where formerly the dangerous ennis
sions were hurled upward from the
crater alone, and perhaps only little
curl of smoke issued from minor
1issure, now all the upper slope Of the
volcano, stretching down nearly to
the grass-line, are honeycOlnbed with
crevices. Out of these overwhelming
apertures pour steady streams OF
smoke, stiff with its surcharge of sui
yphur, and'alntest Opaque. Ever'Gief
anon glaring sheets of flame flash up
ward, cutting sharp and shining we'd
ges in the sombre mass and looking
like red-hOt blades of steel. As you
gaze, you picture the whole underly-
ing stratum of the planet as a sea of
fire. You fancy that, as here and
there on the mountain side fresh out
lets attest the resistless force of the
flaming gases, at any moment just
such a chimney may force itself
through the earth beneath your feet.
However devil-may-ca the Nepoli-
tans seem, it needs only a look around
to assure ones self that a general
spirit Of apprehension prevail in this
community. Though every thought
of the natives appears bent on divert
ing tourists pennies into the local
pockets, every peasant in all the coun-
try round sleeps lightly these nights,
and wakes at the first sound that may
foretell disaster. The spirit of danger
stalks Ikea spectre over all the scene.
l was chatting last night in a little
trattoria in Portici About the table
were gathered half dozen denizens
of the village Suddenly a mighty
roar shook the earth. 1t was one of
the intermittent sighs of the burning
mountain. Every man in the place
rose hastily to his feet, and with
blanched face dashed toward the door.
Almost at the same time the innkeep-
er's wife rushed from her sleeping
room into the tavern, carrying in her
arms an infant and dragged two older
children by the hand.
The thunderclap proved a false
alarm, but it showed me how every
native is eyer on the alert, mistrust-
less of the relentless fury of old We
suvius.
Wandering around among the We
suvian towns find that none of them
feel safe from a molten inundation.
Some local wiseacres pretend they
can foretell, for whole day in adj
vance, what changed direction the
lave river may take; but no man, wo-
man or child puts reliance on such
claims. With the memory of her
three previous deaths in volcanic av
alanches, the resurrected village of
Tore del Greco shows the most alarm
of all to-day. At the urgent invita-
tion of her Sindaco, or Mayor, the
Cardinal Archbishop, of Naples visit
ed the place yesterday, and in the
church of Sta Maria della Tore, cele
brated, with solemn ritual service
of invocation, imploring the Almigh-
ty to spare the town in the impending
hurricane of desolation.
1t was an impressive sight. The
enormous congregation, hushed by
the sublimity of the occasion, remain
ed on bended knees, with faces turned
piously upward, uttering their re-
sponses to the prayers of the Cardi-

THE rumor that bands of freebooters are organizing in Mexico for the pur. pose of plunder along the border in small towns and sparsely settled com munities should be sufficient to arouse the people in such localities to sense of the danger that might come upon them in unguarded moments, go that preparations be made to meet it at any hour, day or night. We do not appre- hend any very great danger, or that any very serious damage would result from such an invasion, for the alarm would be given in ample time to frus. trate such designs on the part of the small lawless element that would en. gage in such an undertaking, if we awake to the needs of the hour and pre-. pare for such an emergency.

SrEAKISo of conditions in Arizona . few days ago, Joseph Monihon, mem ber Oi the board of supervisors of Maricops county and one of the most active cat. tlemen of the territory, said: "Times are good. Why not? Cattle are at the highest point in twenty years; crops of all kinds have been good the past year. There was never before time in Arizona when one could dispose of wha he raises at 60 good advantage, or buy what hs uses cheaper" This terse statement, made from the view taken by . cattleman, holds true with all lines in agriculture and frnit growing. The reasons for good prices are not political by any means, but it is true that such exist. Whatever the cause. our people have ght to be thankful they live Tn Arizona.
