chief executive TO the rear platform.

The run from Worcester was unevent-

crossings, until WoonosoclSet was reach
ed.
Here a crowd had assembled, and In
answer To the cheering and repeated calls
for speech the president came TO the
rear platform end spoke a word OF
greeting.
Al Pawtucket the president bowed I'm
acknowledgment OF the cheering as the
train made only short stop.

rAWTUxET VALLEY

The new steel bridge scroSs the high
way at knotty Oak caused no end OF
trouble yesterday and disarrauged the
time schedule OF the cars or the Wash
ington line for two or three hours. IL was
expected that the grade approaching the
bridge on the steam railroad would be
raised sufficiently TO allow the passage or
the largest electric car. bnt sucn was
proved to- be erroneous yesterday. when
one of the vestibuie cars. I'm attempting
TO pass beneath the bridge, tore It's troll
ley pole and standard on and broke the
wires. This caused a delay OF nearly nm
hour and disarranged the entire system
nearly all the forcnon. II Is Thought,
, however. that differnt arrangement for
holding the trolley wire in place under
the bridge will allow the safe passage
OF all the cars.

ReluSVllle w eekly.
No one, whether in quest of health
or pleasure, can make a mistake by
going to Wade Mecum this season.
There are ample accommodations
for three hundred guests. The ar
rangement, by means of two hotels
and twenty cottages, enables each
guest to enjoy quiet ease or partici-
pate in the active social life OF the re-
sort, as preferred. The large dancing
hall in one hotel and open air pavil-
lion in no way disturbs the rest OF the
guests not participating.
The hotels have water works, sew
erage, hot and cold baths, and every
other convenience. The table is sup
piled with the best the mountains
and the near by city markets afford.
There is run in connection with
the hotel livery stable with elegant
saddle and driving horses and burros.
| Golf links, ten pin alley, pleasure
boats and a swimming pool are among
the amusements.
! The proprie:ors are building up a
great health and pleasure resort, and
are determined to make it the firs'
in the State. They are spending
money lavishly, sparing no expense
to make the place all that the mos
exacting could demand.

..IMPERTlNENT ASSUMPTION" "
Norfolk Landmark


That is what the Danville Register
calls the conduct Of Governor Crane
of Massachusetts in refusing to honor
the requisition Of the Governor Of
North Carolina on the ground that
the criminal concerned may not get
fair trial il extradited. We agree
with the Register entirely, and had
intended to make the same point.
which is that the Constitution OF the
United States does not confer discre-
tionary power upon executives to re-
fuse extradition when properly de-
manded bv the State from which a
criminal has fled.
1t is none of Governor Cranes affair
whether the man wanted by Governor
Aycock will get the right kind Of
trial or not, though we have no doubt
he will. If there is a mistake in the
reauisition, of course the Massachu-
setts Governor has the privilege Of
disregarding the paper until correct
application is made. The extent OF
his official responsibilities the prem
ises is TO see that due forms OF law
are observed in getting the man back
to North Carolina, where he is under
Indictment for the crime of arson.
The Register does not see why the
Governor and Attorney-General OF the
Old North State should feel impelled
to assure the Massachusetts, authori-
ties that the man will be tried fairly.
The officials of Massachusetts," de-
clares our contemporary, chad nc
right to assume anything else. They
had even less right to act upon any
suspicious they might entertain te
the contrary. Boston has not beer
designated as city OF refuge FOL
thugs and fire-fends."

Whenever there was a change OF

sion that this deduction shows what
there took place. While the inhala-
tion of steam charged with burning
hot dust may seemingly be accepted
as the principal cause of death in the
stricken city, it must be admitted
that many persons were no doubt
killed by falling walls. by nervous
shock, etc."
Prof. Russell went to ST. Vincent
TO study the eruption of La Soufriere.
"On ST. Vincent the loss of life
from the second volcanic explosion
was far less than on Martinique. AS
had been reported by the Governor
of the island, the number killed was
about sixteen hundred. Many more
were injured, however. than during
the eruptions Of Mont Pelee. The re-
gion about La Soufriere was less
densely populated than the Northern
shores of Martinique; there was no
city comparable to st. Pierre in
proximity to the volcano; but what is
significant is that the people Of st.
Vincent needed the warnings given
by their troubled mountain and many
lives were saved which otherwise no
doubt would have been lost.
The destruction to st. Vincent
was due to dust, lapilli and stones,
which fell on the land while yet hot.
but a hurricane blast of steam charged
with burning dust did not sweep
down from La Soufriere as it did from
Mont Pelee. The area on which the
dust and stones fell while yet suffic-
iently hot to destroy the vegetation
was about twice as great as on Mar
Unique, and extends in a belt some
six miles wide across the Northern
end Of the island, leaving, however,
narrow strip of verdure on the eA-
treme Northeast coast.
The majority of the people killed,
as on Martinique, in the opinion OF
the physicians and others early on
the scene, lost their lives from the
inhalation of hot dust and being
scalded by steam charged with burn
ing dust. On the onter margin Of
the region of destruction the steam
cloud seems to have condensed to
scalding water, which was thick with
dust and formed hot mud that ad-
hered to every thing it touched. Cas-
ualties also resulted from the rain of
falling stone, and, as has been fire.
quently stated, lightning from the
volcanic cloud was intense and fire.

Ruby Louise.

At one o'clock ON the morning OF
Julv Il. 1902, the infant spirit OF
Ruby | .ouise Holloway took its ever
lasting flight to the home prepared
for little children, leaving behind a
heart-broken mother and father and
grandparents to mourn for the little
life that came as a ray OF Heavenly
sunshine across their pathway.
She was a sweet little thing OF unu-
snail beauty. the pride of her grand
mother who is FRUSTRATED with grlef
at her loss. She was affected with
some stomach trouble that hattied
the skill of physicians and after a
lingering illness OF three weeks death
relieved her sufferlngs.
This dear little girl was only four
wears of age, the only daughter OF
John f. and Mamie Holloway, near
Middleburg, and while we realize the
futilitv of human sympathy, we com
mend them to the love and care O
One who can bind up the wounded
and broken hearts Of His children
and give the sympathy that brlng'
peace to the soul.
Remember, friends, two more ilttb
feet press the banks OF the shining
river and another little hand beck
ons YOU from this world OF care t.
the home Of eternal JOY and rest.
Suffer little children to come unit
me and forbid them not, for of sue
is the Kingdom of Heaven.
