Tourists May Now Reach the Crater
Without the Labor of Climbing.

Modernism has made no more remark
able stride of late years than around the
famous volcano which once showered dust
and lava upon the cities of Pompeii and
Harenlanacum. A new electric railroad
has just been completed by which the
traveller can reach the smoking crater of
Vesuvius in a comfortable car The new
line starts from Pugliano at the base of
the volcano and within a short distance
of the shore of the bay of Naples. The
trip from Naples itself can be accom-
plished in an electric tram car and the
old cable railway up the cone has itself
been electrified that practically the
whole journey from Naples to the cone
can now be made by electrical propul-
sion.
The new railway has been constructed
by the world famous firm of Sock, who
have worked the old cable railway up
the cone for the past 10 years; The total
length of the railway is just over four
sections the first and third have ordinary
smooth rails. the second section having
an additional cog rail- The first section
of the railway passes through a lovely
vine-clad zone on which grown the
grapes which make the famous "Lacrima
Christi wine. The houses are gradually
left behind one approaches the second
section. This section is the steepest part
of the journey, the cars, which are. self
here disconnected from the current and
pushed up the slope by an electric loco
motive with two motors and elaborate
brake attachments.
The power station is situated at the
lower end of the, steep section, and a
large hotel at the upper station is known
as the Hermitage" from the terraces of
which splendid views can be obtained
All the way up the steep section the line
is bordered with verdure and the Herm-
itage is itself empowered in greenery, but
on passing this point a sudden change oc-
ours. The true nature of the mountain
shows itself without any veneer of vege-
tation to cover its ashy sides. Fields of
brown lava stretch away in all directions
as the car mounts to the bottom of the
funicular railway which carries the trav-
eler almost to the lip of the crater itself.

UNCLE SAM LIBERAL.
Retired "Non CONS" Held to Be En-
titled to Communications.

Junction City. Kan, March 2S.-The
army court of claims has just made a
number of findings in the matter of
the allowance for fuel and quarters for
retired enlisted men of the army of
the non commissioned staff, who were
retired by the act of congress of Sep
TENDER 80, 1890.
BY this act enlisted men who had
served thirty years in the army were
retired on three-fourths the pay they
were receiving at the expiration of
their service. In addition to this they
were allowed about$ 80 month for COM
mutation of food, clothing and other
things which. the government had fur
nished the enlisted man free while he
was in the service. In addition to
these things the on-commissioned
staff officers are entitled to quarters
and fuel. The court of claims finds
that these soldiers are entitled to S13. so
a month for this Communication, which
| is three-fOurths the amount allowed a
soldier of their rank on detached ser
vice. There are only about 200 non
commissioned staff officers on the re-
tired list who will be entitled to an
! increase of pay of $3.50 a month and
/ back pay Two of them live in juno
ton City. Sergeant P. c. Daily will re-
ceive 81 ,944 back pay, and Sergeant
! Thomas keeshan will receive about
$1,45O.

coRBETT LEARNS SOMETHING
Says That He Will Fight Britt at
ANY Old Terms.

San Francisco, March est looks as
though the disputed question of SUI
periority as a fighter of Young Corbett
and Jimmy Britt may be settled shortly
by a second fight. Young Corbett left
Sunday for New York, but his man
ager, Harry Pollock, will wait till Tues
day to try to get Britt to sign articles
for another fight. He is willing to ac-
cept Graney as referee. Corbett is
more anxious to meet Britt again than
Terry McGovern was to meet Corbett
after that knockout in the second
round. Corbett said today:
Il want to fight Britt again. T will

the winner to take all. or any other
division. I will bet him $4,000 or any
part of it, and here's something I'll tip
off: I'll be the favorite in the betting. -
Britt processes to be equally ready to
meet Corbett, but he declares it will be
several weeks before his sore right
hand and arm will permit him to do
any work. The arm isn't in as bad
shape as after the battle with Candle,
but it is swelled to twice its normal
size. Britt doesn't look like a cham
pion in these days. He was in bed all

FRUIT NOT MUCH INJURED.
The Dampness of the Ground Helped
Says an Authority.

Wichita. Kas.. March 2s.-Twenty-
three degrees above zero was the
minimum reported by the weather bu-
reau. There is difference of opinion
here as to the damage to fruit. Most
of the farmers believe that little if
any damage was done. Fred Ross, a
local fruit man. who has been here
many years. said when he expressed
the opinion that fruit had not suffered
mach:
me in forming this opinion. One is
that the ground is quite wet, which
had a tendency to draw the frost down
ward, and the other is that there was
a good bree re all night. 1t is my opin-
ion that, with the possible exception
of apricots and early peaches, no fruit
was injured by the freeze Should it
remain clear and should the wind fall
it is quite probable that much damage
will be done"

Attention Farmers.

Why remain in the north and stay in
doors six months in the year consum-
ing what you raise during the other six
months?
Go south where you can work out
doors every month in the year. and
where you are producing something the
year round. If you are a stock raiser
you know your stock are now "eating
their heads off" and, besides, have to be
protected from the rigers OF winter by
expensive shelter
Economical stock feeding requires the
combination of both flesh forming and
fat forming foods in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce in abun-
dance the velvet bean and cassava, the
first flesh producer. and the latter a
fat producer. and they are the cheapest
and best fattening materials known to
the world.
More money can be made and with
less labor. in general farming, fruit and

along our road in the south than in any
other section of the Union.

A Lawrence Ex-slave Hears from a
Missing Sister.

Lawrence, Kas., March 2S.-Nathan
Miller, an old negro soldier head jan
itor of the University of Kansas, has
received word from his sister, who he
has not seen since they We're parted
as slaves on a Kentucky plantation
when he was only six years Old Nat
was born in slavery on a large planta-
ton not far from Richmond, Madison
county Kentucky. He was six years
old when his sister, .Sailie,' then a,
young woman. was married. Shortly
after the marriage her husband was
sold and was to be taken to Arkansas
"Sallie" begged that she might also be
sold to the same master and go with
her husband. leaving her friends and
family behind. Her wish was gratified
and she was taken to Arkansas. This
occurred in 1854, and from that time
until now Nat" has never heard from
his sister.
Soon after "SaIlie' was sold, MATS
master gave him to q man who moved
to Missouri. Nat" who never saw
any more of his family from that time,
civil war broke out. In 1862 the Red
Legs" were raiding Missouri in Mats"
section. Many slaves were persuaded
to leave. Nat was suied by one of
the raiders just as he came out of a
hiding place.
The name of Nathan Miller appears
on the roll of Kansas volunteer regi-
ment in the Seventh corps, southwest
ern division. He was a-soldier nearly
three years, and served under General
Steel most of the time. Last year a
man named John Kennedy wrote to
NAT" that he wanted to send his
daughter to school here. Nat, re-
piled, and there was much correspond
ence before Kennedy mentioned the
fact that he had married a daughter
of "Sallie" Taylor, Mats sister. Sal

longed spent several months near Red

he did not see his sister. but he might
not have recognized her at the time.

Britt was physically unable to infiict.
In fact, had the fight gone to twenty
five rounds Corbett, who was the
stronger man at the end, might have
won, as he still was capable of deliver
ing tremendous wallops when the TWEEN
ty rounds ended. Britt was a badly
punished winner.
A terrific fight it was; there have
been few like it in this generation of the
prize ring. The twenty rounds were as
full of go and blood and action as
scrap of two newsboys with a grudge-
Strength and generalship were up
against speed and skill of hand and
pluck The referee says pluck won out
There was never any question of
Britt's superiority as boxer. He ham
mered the champion with rights and
lefts as many as a dozen times, but he
was unable to knock him out. If Britt
had been cool enough to hit two or
three blows, putting all his weight into
them, he would have scored a knockout.
If Britt had been defeated he could
have said that he was weak from re-
ducing, and the public would have stood
for his excuse, as a majority of them
thought that he had made a bad match.
With Corbett it is different The little
Denverite exercised his right as cham
pion and made what he thought was a
good match. He thought that he had
the native son so light that he would be
easy pickings. Now all he can do is to
cry that a native SON. referee handed
him a. bunch. Jeems Edgar will succeed
Corbett as an actor, while the Denverite
can have some fun with Benny Yanger
and a. few others of that ilk.
Corbett was not a popular champion
because he was at weight that was ex-
tremely doubtful He posed as the
featherweight champion while in real
ity he was a lightweight. He always
boosted of the fact that he had big
shade in the weights when he made a
match. Now he will be forced to take
the short end. If he were to match him
self with Benny Yanger it is dollars to
doughnuts that Benjamin would want
him to fight at 122 pounds. OF course,
Benny cannot make any such weight,
but neither can Corbett, and there you
are. He had a good time as a cham
pion and now he will have to take a
little of the rough work.
Britt can go on and get the money.
There is not a white lightweight in the
business that looks particularly danger
GUS and the public will not insist on his
fighting Joe Cans. The latter is dusky,
and the public believes as strongly that
the color line should be drawn as the
fighters themselves. Another reason
the public will not demand that Britt
fight Cans is the fact that the latter
has been accused of taking. He may
never have engaged in a crooked fight,
but he has that reputation.

As a result of the assault made upon
him by the two robbers, Hogan is
dead. He had been in a critical con-

gan's side will try to identify them.
The robbers secured little, but beat
and kicked the old man in frightful

count of the impossible mountains of

to the northwest of Mt. ST. Elias. Is
much higher than the st. Elias peak,
but 1t does not appear to such an ad-
vantage as 1t is surrounded by other
nigh mountains. Mt. ST. Elias appears
much higher, standing as it does. alone
In its grandeur, 1920 feet above the
level of the sea.
The wonderful effect which this par

by the sun and moon shining stimuli
taneously upon the mountain, one
from the north, the other from the
east. Mt. St. Elias is covered with
snow which in June begins to melt for
about four hours each day. BY this
process huge icicles are formed which
extend down the side of the mountain
fully 5000 feet. The sun shining OH
this gives the effect of a blue electric
light, at each point where there is an
excresence in the icicIe.
