| OF gases from the volcano winch en-
veloped her a mile from the coast
King Victor Emmanuel and Queer
Helena have further endeared them
selves to the people by their activity
in behalf of the sufferers by the erup
ton and the government is exertine
itself for the relief of the destitute.
All the trains were delayed owing
to the tracks being covered with Gin
ders and Geographic communication
with all points was badly congested.
The stream of lava which had been
threatening Tore Annunziata, town
Of $4,000 inhabitants IL miles from
Naples on the road to Castellammare
had remained stationary since Sunday
evening 80 that the danger that the
place would be overwhelmed appeared
to have passed.
The action of Mount vesuvius had
perceptible diminished and the show
er of ashes ceased to fall over Naples
for a time Monday morning. But ash
es and sand began falling again later
In the day.
When the last train was leaving
Boscotrecase Sunday a fresh crater
opened near the observatory station.
The quantity of ashes and cinders
thrown up by Mount vesuvius with
in the last "a hours is unprecedented.
An analysis showed this discharge to
be chiefly composed Of iron, sulphur
and magnesia. When dry the whole
region seemed to be under gray sheet
but now after fall of rain 1t appeared
to have been transformed into an i'm
mense lake of chocolate.
King Victor Emanuel and Queen
Helena and their suites arrived here
morning from Rome and en-
tering automobiles visited the towns |
and villages in the path of the lava |
streams pouring down the sides Of |
Mount Vesuvius. When the train
which brought their mRjesties here
arrived at the station the eruption Of
he volcano was most violent. But
both the king and queen, although
CREAMY fatgued, Insisted upon Ieav-
ng Immediately for Tore Annunzia-
"a, his majesty remarking IF Tore
Annunziata Is in danger 1t is my duty

Prof. Di Lorenzo, the scientist and ,
specialist in the study Of volcanoes
estimated that the smoke from vesu.
Vius has reached the height of $4,000

Of which was protected by heavy iron
shutters. Air was admitted through

0verseers Speicher and Excel at
Monday nights meeting spoke Of the
alleged immortality of Dowie's teach
ings. Some Of the ideas credited to

for print, touching on the parentage

the audience Of 1000 persons. In the
midst Of this silence a man in the
audience jumped to his feet and ex-
claimed, as he pointed Quivering arm

lying" The overseer answered that |
he spoke only of facts. Overseer Elk |

Almost equally with the devastation
wrought by the lava is the damage
1cne by the cinders and ashes of which
lncredible quantities have been car
lied great distances. This has caus-
ed the practical destruction Of San
uiseppe place of 5000 inhabitants.
All but 200 Of the people had fed from
Gan Giuseppe and these 800 assembled
n church to attend mass. While
The priest was performing his sacred
Offices the roof fell in and bout
80 persons were badly injured. These
unfortunates were for hours without
surgical or medical assistance. The
only thing left standing in the church
was statue of St. Anne the preserva-
zion OF which the poor, homeless, peo-
ple accepted as miracle and promise
Of deliverance from their peril.
At Ottajano five churches and ten
houses fell Under the weight of ashes
and cinders, which lie four feet deep
on the ground. In the TAIL OF the
buildings about IL persons we're killer

Rev. n. Morris to be Pastor Q
PhiIadeIphia Church.

The following item from the Phila.
.delphia Evening Bulletin will be read
with interest by the friends of Rev
r. H. Morris, who was formerly the
pastor of the Presbyterian church in
this city:
All the way to Georgia, the congre-
cation of the Oak Lane Presbyterian
church went and found a pastor
Without a SHEPPARD for four months
past, the members met last night and
extended unanimous call to the Rev.
Robert Hugh Norris. The elders have
every reason to believe that he will
accept.
In spite of the storm, nearly hun
dred members gathered in the church
last evening to choose a leader No
other name than that of Mr.. Morris
was even considered When a vote
was taken, there were eighty for him
to four against sending out a call at
this time. After this result had been
announced one of the four moved to
make it unanimous, which was done.
Mr.. Morris was born in Georgia, and
is twentynine years old. He was ed
ucated at the Georgia Military Aea-
denny and at Emory College. He was
later graduated from Princeton Uni
versity with the degree of Master of
Arts. He served as pastor Of the
First church at Ocala, Florida, and
later as supply for the First church,
at Macon, Georgia. Subsequently he
entered Princeton Theological Semin-
ary, from which he will be graduated
in May.
Twice within the last month has Mr..
Morris preached in Oak Lane. In the
Presbyterian pulpit there he succeeds
the Rev. Oswald G. Mcdowell, who
resigned on December 1, 1905, to ac-
cept call to work with the Evangel-
ical Alliance of New Jersey. 1t was
largely due to Mr.. McDowelTs efforts
that the present beautiful church
building was erected at a cost of $685.
600. all of which has been paid except
$4,000.

Miss WimberIy in ocaIa.

Miss Clara wimberly. of Macon
Georgia, gave series of readings al
the Opera House in this city Friday
night.
To Mr.. ]. H. Workman, principal
of the Ocala high school. is due the
credit of bringing Miss Wimberly to
our city. A portion of the proceeds
Of the entertainment went to the ocala
High School for their library fund.
Miss Wimberly is a lovely, refined
and graceful southern girl and her
readings were truly delightful. She
was greeted by a good sized audience
and charmed them all from the be-
ginning to the end of her excellent
program.
Her Interpretation of the ante-be
lum darl1ies was especially fine and
won for her spontaneous applause and
appreciation from her audience.
Miss Wimberly is well known all
over the south and she has also given
entertainments in many of the nor
thern cities, and wherever she goes
she is delightfully."- received. Those
who heard Miss Wimberly Friday
night were charmed with her graceful
and beautiful readings.
Miss Jessilu Martin rendered sew
eral instrumental solos during the
evening ands they were very much en-
joyed.
In a graceful way Miss Wimberly
thanker her audience for their pres
ence and their splendid attention and
said that she hoped we would allow
her the pleasure of coming to Ocala
again.
1t is a matter of regret that the
opeha house was not crowded and
those who did not hear Miss VIM
berly missed a rare treat.
In the afternoon in company with
several friends, Miss WimberB visited
the famous Silver Springs and was
capitvated by its beauties.

An Enjoyable Day at Silver Springs.

Saturday was a perfect day for a
picnic and several different Ocala
parties went out to Silver Springs for
the day. In one picnic crowd were
the following persons: Mr.. and Mrs.
w. w. Clyatt, Mr.. and Mrs. G. w.
Martin, Messrs. j. H. Workman and
Emmett Cowden, Mrs. w. j. Cham
bers. Mrs. A. L. Izlar, Mrs. A. L. Webb.
Miss Annette Gist, of Mcintosh, Miss
Cora Griffin, Miss Ettie earn, Miss
George Berger and Miss Jessilu Mar
tin. They left town in a big wagon
at six O'clock in the morning and re-
turned at six in the evening, making
an entire day Of it.
They chartered a boat and went as
far down the run as Connor, where
they spent several hours roaming over
the gorgeous orange groves. They had
their lunch in the grove and enjoyed
it as only hungry picnickers can. The
afternoon was spent in as equally a
pleasant way and when this happy
crowd returned home they all said
they had spent glorious day togeth-
er.

A Wedding on Skates.

Perhaps the most novel wedding
ever celebrated in Birmingham was
that of Mr.. w. F. Anderson and Miss
Mary Underwood. which occurred in
the Skating Auditorium in that city
on last Wednesday evening. The we'd
ding was performed while the bride
and groom were standing on roller
skates. After the unique ceremony,
which was performed with all of the
attendants wearing roller skates. that
newly married couple led a beauti-
ful and graceful grand march on roll
Ter skaaes. An immense audience
witnessed the performance OF the we'd
ding and viewed with pleased express
sion the figures performed on skates
after the knot had been tied the en-
trance of the bride and groom and
attendants on skates in perfect time
to the wedding march was novelty
that neved before has been witnessed
in Birmingham, if in any other city
in the world.

Will Make the Race for the Legisla-
ture.

This paper stated some days ago
that the name of City Attorney Biggs
was being actively eanvassed among
the names suitable for representative
to the legislature from this county;
many have gone to Mr.. Biggs in per-
son and urged him to allow the use
of his name for this office and he has
finally consented to do so.
Mr.. Biggs is an exceedingly modest
man and making the race for this Of
flee is not of his own seeking but the
county's interests will be safe in his
keeping. The efficiency and zeal with
which he has looked after the city's
interests since being city attorney is
an earnest OF this fact.
Mr.. Biggs was graduated with hon
ors and was admitted to the bar in
this city after standing most cred
liable examination, is a close student
and successful lawyer and the fact
that he has been elected city attorney
for several terms shows the apprecia-
ton in which he is held here.

For Senator Twentieth Senatorial Dis
trict.

Hon. ]. G. Baskin, Of Dunnellon.
makes the announcement in today's
paper of his candidacy for reelection
to the senate from the twentieth sena-
torial district.
DR.. Baskin filed a short term in the
senate at the last session caused by
the removal of Hon. C. NJ. Brown from
the district. During his short period
of service he made an enviable repu-
tation and commanded the profound
respect of his senatorial colleagues
and welded an influence in that body
that was quite remarkable and graft
flying to his friends and is fairly en-
titled to a reelection. This is a rule
so general that it has become a Gus
tom With all the parties.
When a president, for instance,
dies and the vice president is elevat-
ed to his place, he invariably re-
ceives the nomination at the expira-
ton of his term without opposition.
1t, indeed, has become an axiom.
Some voters, however, are under the
impression that under an arrangement
made with Sumter county soon after
it and Marion county were made the
twentieth senatorial district, that the
senator was to alternate between the
two counties, but this rule was abro-
gated in the last district convention
and county lines We're obliterated 1t
could hardly be otherwise in a pri-
mary election. Besides, the rule was
an unequal one. as Marion county has
a population three or four times larg-
er than Sumter.
Under the condition of things as
they now exist Sumter is not likely
to offer candidate, and in all probab-
ility will join with Marion and make
Dr. Baskin's nomination unanimous.

Miss Piatt Gives Lovely Party.

At one of the prettiest small parties
this winter Miss Edith Piatt was the
hostess and she entertained for Miss
Mary Davenport, of Chattanooga.
Tennessee. who is about to conclude
a very delightful visit to Mrs. Charles
V. Miller in this city. Miss Daven-
port has been quite popular during
her stay in Ocala, a number of pret-
ty affairs having been given for her,
and none have been any pleasanter
than the one given her by Miss Piatt.
At this affair dominoes was play
ed and the most successful players
proved to be Mrs. Miller and Mr..
Beck. Mrs. Miller was awarded a
dainty little lace trimmed handker-
chief while to Mr.. Beck was given a
silver mounted desk sponge.
Miss Piatt's guests were Mr.. and
Mrs. C. V. Miller, Mr.. and Mrs. G. R.
Mexican, Mr.. and Mrs. c. C. Carroll.
Miss Mary Davenport, Misses Annie
Davis. Eloise Miller. Allie Van Julian,
Grace Hatchell. Eloyse Izlar, Hattie
Dye, Florrie Condor, Messrs. ]. HI.
and w. D. Taylor. Robert Mathews,
Alfred Beck, Albert Miller CISCO and
Guy Zewadski. Emmett Robinson. and
A. n Goodwin, OF Martel.
At the conclusion of the closely con-
tested games the guests were asked
into the dining room, where from the
long dining room table. beautiful in
it's appointments, a dainty menu was
served. In the center OF the table, on
a reflector, was a tall vase of roses
and around the base of the reflector
cherokee roses and violets were pret-
tily arranged. At one end of the ta-
BILE was big bowl of these exquisite
flowers and over the cloth loose vio-
let's were strewn. The effect was ex-
ceedingly pretty and artistic and the
cakes. mints and other sweets served
were in keeping with the table dec
orations.
