Many persons other than the mana

the mortality tables Of the census. We
learn from the returns that the aver
age age at death IN 100 was $50
years as against 81. / in 1890. That is
to say those living in 1900 had an
average chance of living four and Que

1890. Let US see where this ratio Of
increase would carry US. Taking

Board of Inspection Renders n Very
Favorable Report.
Washington, July 1.-The official report
of the board of inspection on the recent
trial performance of the battleship Illinois
has been received at the Navy Depart
ment. The run of sixty-six miles was
made in three hours, forty-eight minutes
and forty-six seconds, and with tidal cor
rections the true mean speed shown was
l7As miles per hour.
The run was made practically on an
even keel. At it's close the helm was
thrown hard astarboard and the vessel
made complete turn IN three minutes
and eight seconds within a circle of 800
yards diameter. A turn to port was
made in three minutes and ten seconds.
The board reports that the vessel is
strong and well-built, and that the work.
manship is in strict conformity with the
contract The working of the machn-
cry was in all respects satisfactory. The
boilers were found to be in excellent con-
oltion, only one tube leaking slightly and
needing repair The board states that
phe steering and meneuvering qualities of
the vessel are admirable. and that she is
free from structural vibration.

IN PAINTING is unquestioned, also the SUI

the makers. men. In literature women

Cation found in investigating 800 cases
that the sexes remained nearly equal as
regards artistic taste. but education
brought 1t out more in women. On the
other hand, Ferrero thinks women cannot
create, and lays the primary cause of this
to their sexual GOODNESS. The motive OF
all lyrics in hove. and Greek statues and
most pictures are amatory instincts de-

men excel, as is proven by the salons of
the French women. Also in the art of
dancing women are supreme.

VEsUvIus GETTING READY.
New Eruption of the Volcano Ex-
pected TO Take Place.
From the st. Paul Globe.


pected 10 Take Place.
From the ST. Paul Globe.
Prof. Matteucc, the distinguished ItaI-
ian scientist and careful student of
Mount Vesuvius' vagaries, predicts that
new eruption will take place in short
time, and from various Indications he
feels satisfied 1t will be no slight one.
He has considered 1t well to utter A
timely warming, as experience has shown
that Vesuvius, when ii vents its wrath
Unexpectedly, does a great deal of dam
age to persons and property in the vicin-
ity.
Prof. Matteucci Is no alarmist, but bases
his predictions on the fact. which he has
noticed, that various new assures are
now forming near the summit OF the
mountain, and this. in his opinion, is an
UNREASONABLE proof that masses of lava
and other matters soon will be again
belched forth.
His close study of the volcano during
the recent eruption confirms him In this
opinion.
Day after day he continued his investi-
cations, often at the peril of his life, and
as a result the account of his work
which he has just forwarded 10 the
French Academy OF Sciences, contains
more facts about Vesuvius than were ever
known before.
He noted the daily changes that took
place in the crater during the eruption,
and he even measured the hight which
was attained by the great mass OF igne-
Gus matter after the mountain had vom-
tied forth.
The largest OF these masses assembled to
a hight of 5S7 meters. and when 1t fell 4
occupied a space of twelve cubic meters,
and was found to weigh 10000 kilo-
grammes
IL travelled through the air at the rate
OF eighty meters a second. and It is esti-
mated that a force equivalent to 10000
horse power must have been required to
send II on its skyward career.
This enormous mass fell dangerously
near the professor. This was not the only
occasion. however. on. which he almost
lost his life. and his friends are still won
dering how he managed 10 escape the
constant shower Of fiery rocks that
threatened him during the entire orup-
ton.
At one time II was rumored that he
had been killed. but happily this proved
to be false. and now many are congratu-
lating him. not only ON his good fortune
In passing through 80 many perils UNI
scathed. but also on the skill and fore
thought which have enabled him to as
certain the time when the next eruption
may be expected.

TO STRIKE OUT CHRISTIAN"
Christianity Needs No Special Recog-
milton, Said Virginia Delegate.

milton, Said Virginia Delegate.
Richmond. Va, July 1.-The constitu-
tional convention was in session hardly
half an hour to-day. There was barely
quorum present and the attendance of
specta tors was small. The heat was al
most unbearable. Among the resolutions
offered was one by Mr. Pollard of Rich
mond to amend the Bill of Rights by
striking out the word christian" SO that
section eighteen should read as follows:
That religion, or the duty which we
owe to our Creator. and the manner of
discharging it, can be directed only by
reason and not by force or violence, ard
therefore, all men are equally entitled to
the free exercise of religion according to
the dictates of conscience, and that it is
abe mutual duty of all to practice for
bearance, love and charity toward each
other"
Mr.. Pollards proposition developed
some opposition. In regard to it Mr.. Pol
lard said that he was surprised that any
Christian should oppose it. Christian
ity,'' he continued needs no special rec
ignition by law. 1t can live and grow
without it. I am unwilling that our fun
damental law should contain a single
word, which, to a large class of citizens.
has a sectarian meaning. or which has
the seanblance of a discrimination against
any mans sect. When the Bill of Rights
was written there was practically no re-
Egion in this country except Christianity
Now large and substantial class of our
citizens profess another religion
Mr.. Waddil of Henmco introduced a
resolution providing that counties, cities
and towns may be authorized to aid and
encourage the establishment of manufac-
tories and other enterprises of public
utility other than railroads by exempting
