horrible thought that [ was aiding

hope had been aroused by Kaumai's
words, fed when she appeared and
famed the frenzy Of the excited priests.
Kaumai, with a high-priest on each
side of her, stood facing the lava lake,
and as here and there steam-jets would
appear, she bowed and exhorted Pele

that sacrifice worthy of the goddess
would be made.
Nimolau and Patua the fisherman
withdrew.
While the fervor of the priests was
at its highest, Nimolua, and Patua re-
appeared, carrying between them q
burden wrapped in the black sacri-
fetal robe that had been thrown on
Winnie by the priest.
1 sprang forward and seized Kau-
mails arm.
''Womanr' 1 cried. "Priestessi
Devil Whatever you are, will you let
them murder my sister in cold blood
Will you still believe the damnable
trash that 1 told you was not true?
Speak the word that will save my
sister now"
A look of entreaty, blended with
fear, came into her face.
A high-priest took me roughly by
the arm.
"You must not anger Pele, he said.
'"The devil take Pele," roared.
"And you, tool They are numbering

vent this2 Can it be that we are for

Kaumai drew herself up in queenly
dignity, and motioned for the priest
to take me aside

their unconscious burden to the brink
of the lake. They poised the body Of

hand raised, eve send to you chosen

I shook with horror and fear as
these words, so utterly destroying
hope, came from the beautiful sorce-
ress.

Col. Frank J. Hearne, who is to be
general manager Of the National Tube
Company, was born at Cambridge,
Md, September 81, 1886. After receiy-
ing an academic educae zion, he entered
the Troy Polytechnic Institute, and in
June 1867, he graduated at the heac OF
his class of engineers. The ability
which he displayed at school, secured
for him the position of assistant engi
neer of the Hannibal and St Joe Rail-
road, which he held until 1872. Yield
ing to the earnest solicitation of his
father, the Hon. VIM. l.. Hearne, ne ra-
signed his position with the Hannibal
& st. Joe road, to accept the assistant
general management OF the Riverside
plant. he Immediately applied himself
to a study OF the iron business in all
its ramifications, and within short
time he was thoroughly familiar with
it. His wonderful executive ability
was soon recognized by his associates
in the conduct of the business OF the
Riverside, and in 1875 he was made
general manager. Riverside stock was
selling at that time, at or about 10,
and when the Company was recently
merged into the National Tube Com
pany, Riverside stockholders were paid
at the rate of about ZIG %.
To the able management Of Col
Hearne is largely due the phenome-
nal growth Of the Riverside, from
among the smallest iron mills in the
country, to one Of the largest, and be-
yond question the best equipped, and

While the stockholders of the Riv-
erside Iron Company have reaped a
substantial profit from the disposal of
their property TO the National Tube
Company, the transfer of the local
plant carries withit the removal from
Wheeling of Col. Frank J. Hearne, and
there is general sentiment prevalent
that the community can i'll afford to
lose such valuable citizen. In man
agerical capacity, he has been closely
identified with a plant which has fur
nished employment at good wages, to
thousands of men and boys in this city
and vicinity. Whatever degree of sue
cess has attended the conduct of the
business of his company, has been III a
large measure due to his comcrehen-

was invested in nail mills sought 9TH
er avenues of investment. and new in
dustries sprang up gradually. while
there was a change in the finished
product of the iron mills. The city 5
unrivaled shipping facilities and her
natural advantages as a manufactur-
ing center appealed also to outside
capital; and Wheeling is still an in
dustrial community, with volume of
output and trade not surpassed by
any city of approximate population.
Colonel Hearne's ability was in no
Instance more clearly demonstrated
than in the manner with which he met
the discouraging situation which con-
fronted the nail manufacturers. when
there was no longer profitable mar
ket for their product. The SteubeH-
vile furnace was bought in 1855, and
put in blast March 3, 1886. Then
came the series of additions to the
Benwood property of the Riverside,
which have gradually grown into the
present magnificent plant which fur
nishes employment 10 a small army or
its to the company.
The steel plant commenced opera
tons in 1854. 1t was designed by
experienced engineers. the ablest that
capital could secure, after an exhaust
i've study of the existing Bessemer
works, with a view to rendering 1t
perfect in all its details. The plate
mill, adjoining the steel plant, was
built in 1885. The company first en-
gagged in the manufacture of steel pipe,
in which it has achieved such signal
success, in August, 1887, since which
time the increasing trade for this
product has resulted in a number OF
additions to the mill, multiplying its
original output several times. The
facilities of the company for the man
ufacture Of steel pipe are more than
ordinarily favorable, owing TO the
fact that it owns blast furnaces, steel
works and rolling mills, and is, there
fore, independent of outside supply
for raw material, while all these de-
partments, under one executive head,
and that head Colonel f. j. Hearne,
insures uniformity in quality OF pro-
duet.
The National Tube Company has
made no mistake in putting Colonel
Hearne az the head of its manufac-
turing department. His experience
and ability will be invaluable, and the
5000 workmen in the various plants
may feel reasonably assured of steady
employment SO long as there is n
market for pipe, while the stoekhold-
ers can look forward confidently
to success. His departure from
wheeling will be deeply regretted,
not only here. but throughout the
State. Wheeling's loss will be Pitts
burg's gain.
1t will be particularly gratifying
to Wheeling people to learn tthe in
formation comes from an authorize
tive sourcel that it is Colonel Hearne's
intention to as early as practicable
double the capacity of the Riverside.
He may be depended upon to keep a
watchful eye upon his infant indus
cry. The augmentation of the capac-
~ of the plant will mean employment
for many more men, and the contin-
ued industrial prosperity Of Wheeling
and vicinity.

sive knowledge of all the details of
manufacture, and his familiarity with
trade conditions. united with rare
judgment and conspicuous ability.
The National Tube Company was or
ganized upon a more substantial basis
than any of the trusts controlling other
branches of manufacture. There is
less of the speculative feature, The fl
nanciering of the concern was manipu-
lated by the great banking firm of j.
Pierpont Morgan & Co. Probably the
highest testimonial to the ability of
Col. Hearne was furnished when the
company closed the deal for the plant
of the Riverside, Iron Company. The
stock of the local concern was pur-
chased at as cents on the dollar more
than was paid for the stock of any 9TH
er company entering the agreement.
The highest price paid for other stock
was 10.
At the meeting held in New York, Col.
Hearne was elected First Vice Presi-
dent of the National Tube Company,
and the publication of this fact was
followed by the announcement that the
active control of all the properties of
the company would be placed in his
hands. The company has decided to
establish it's general Offices in Pitts
burg, and this fact will necessitate the
removal of Col. Hearne to thartity. 1t
is understood that two floors of the
Conestoga building, corner Wood and
Water streets, have been leased, and
that complete offices and headquarters
will be established there within a few
weeks. Pittsburg was selected be-
cause that city is recognized as the CEN
ter of the iron and steel manufacture
of the country, and the most central
point for the properties Of the Ma
tional.
The announcement has also been
made that in the event that trade con-
ditions do not warrant the continuous
operation OF all the plants. the mills
will be operated which are best adapted
for manufacturing cheaply. 1t is like
ly, indeed. that it will be determined
that it is too expensive TO run some of
the mills, and that additions and inn
provements will be made to others.
When it is necessary to close any)of the
mills, the operation of the smaller
ones in the east will be discontinued.
and the plants in Pittsburg and
Wheeling will be kept running.
A Pittsburg exchange last week pub
lished the following concerning the
plans OF the National Tube Company:
