NAPLES, April 1.-THE Associated
Fress correspondent today succeeded
in reaching the highest inhabitable
point on Vesuvius, where Professor
Matteucci, director of the Royal OBJ
servatory, has courageously held his
post throughout the eruption. The
noted scientist was found to he COM
paratively calm and undisturbed by
his recent fearful experiences.
For three days Professor Matteucci
and his little band We're cut off from
the outside world. Their provisions
ran low and their rations consisted
of cheese, bread and dried onions. un-
til Professor Matteucci's urgent tele-
graphic appeals led a venturesome
guide to push through on Friday with
a stock of supplies for their relief.
Meantime the professor had kept at
his instruments, taking observations
and making calculations day and
around him.
AS he came forward to greet the
correspondent his blackened face and
dust-covered clothes told of the or
deal through which he had passed.
The portico where he stood was knee
deep in ashes, which had been swept
aside to make a small footway. From
the observatory terrace, to which
narrow paths had been cut through
the ashes, the correspondent locked
out over an ocean Of ashes and
twisted rivers of lava. While Vesuvius
rose grirnly in a mantle of ashes and
shrouded dark vapor rising like
gigantic fan.
Professor Matteucci was asked to
tell in his own way the story of the
cataclysm from the outset. This he
readily consented to do, and, speaking
in good French, gave the following de-
tailed narrative:
"I first observed Mount Vesuvius
giving unusual signs about month
ago, when the lava began to overflow,
taking a southwest direction. This
gradually increased as several small
lava streams formed into one great
current.
1.-THE real danger began the middle
of last week. Then an enormous
stream of lava came from the sum-
NIT, meeting the other streams, which
burst from the lower strata. 1t was
this that overwhelmed Bosco Ire
case. Throughout the lava discharge
the volcano was comparatively quiet
and without electrical phenomena or
explosions The only ominous sign
was the advancing wave and the Gin
ders forming an enormous cloud in
the shape of pine tree over the
crater
''Our really terrible period came at
3 o'clock Sunday morning and lasted
until o'clock The mountain, which
hitherto had been silent, Sunday gave
out a deafenfng roar and great
rent was made in it's cone. Huge,
solid rocks were hurled skyward.
Sonic of them fell near the obserVa-
tory, threatening to crush in the roof;
but most of them fell far outside the
observatory zone. There was no scoria
in this discharge but solid bullet-like
stones which cut the roof and damaged
the windows.
"At midnight of Saturday, I ordered
the women and children of the house
hold removed. This was just before

the rain of huge stones began and I
was then left with Professor Perret
OF New York. my American assistant,
and two domestics. There was scarcely
any eating and all domestic order was
abandoned. We snatched a few bites
now and then: most of the time 1 ate
right here and the observer pointed
to the remains of a recent meal on the
desk in his study.
Throughout Sunday enormous solid
rocks of stone rose to a height of
2oCo feet from the crater, while ashes
and sand were thrown much higher
but toward Monday the terrible
shocks of earthquake gradually dimin-
ished. One of the worst features of
the eruption was the unusual extent

kidney trouble, and seeing Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills advertised as
being good for complaints such as

HOLSTER Drug Co.'S store. I found up
on taking them that they were doing
me good, and was thereby encouraged
to keep on until now I am cured of the

! was a veritable hell"
| Asked if his scientific observations
had yielded valuable results, Profess
sor Matteucci replied:
| Conservation was extremely difficult
under such disturbing conditions. The
| seismic instruments We're badly af-
fected by the electrical intensity, each
! explosion being announced by a Vio-
| lent movement of the instruments,
which seemed ready to burst into
pieces
Professor Matteucci sounded a long
raSping r. like a succession of quick
taps on a drum, which he said re-
, sembled the noise made by the seis-
mograph when affected by a violent
explosion.
Compared with other great erup-
TONS" continued the observer, this
is one OF the most important in the
history of Vesuvius It's effects are
less terrible than those of the erup-
ton in the year A. D. 70, when Pom
peii was buried, but it equals in in
tensity the great eruption of 1851 and
1872. What results this eruption viii
yield to science is not yet certain
EruptionS are not exact in science.
You can not count on Vesuvius. each
i OF its eruptions has its characteristics
| This was marked by an abundance of
electrical phenomena. I have collected
quantities of cinderS and Scoria for
comparison with similar matter from
other eruptions and later 1 will col
lect large stones"
The professor pointed to the shelves
III his laboratory, where there were
plates containing cinders varying in
itIa
there We're also in the room enormous
stones, each labeled with the date of
it's election from the volcano.
Asked concerning Mount Vesuvius
in the future, Professor Matteucci re-
Piled:
II am unable to tell with any de-
gree of certainty. l sincerely hope this
eruption is over; but who can tell
whether another terrible CONFUSION
may not come during the next minute?
However, all my indications point to
6. period of calm for the next few days,
and therefore L am hopeful But 1 was
hopeful last night, although a serious
explosion occurred at 10 o'clock in the
evening without any warming"
Professor Matteucci handed the COR
respondent a stone the size of a three
inch shell as a souvenir of his visit
saying: These are very precious
stones Some of them have hit me at
one time or another. They represent
my wounds
He then lied the way to his sleeping
quarters, which showed the confusion
that existed throughout the domestic
branch of the observatory during the
eruption. AS he turned to the portico
Vesuvius gave another deep groan,
ending with fearful explosion, which
blew off a portion of it's new cone.
See, exclaimed the professor, 1.-The
eruption may be resumed at any mo-
ment. That explosion rent the west
erly cone"
AS the correspondent journeyed up
ward a new crater suddenly burst, and
from the summit of the volcano enor-
nous masses of sand and mist shot
skyward. The monster trembIed, SEEM
ing about to renew its commissions,
and the native guides hesitated, de-
claring that warning had already
been given OF another outbreak today.
Fortunately, it was passing mani
festation.

Chicago, Nov. United States
Senator BENJAMIN R. Tillman deliv-
cred his speech on the race problem,
as scheduled, in Orchestra hall, before
a crowd of 5000 people.
There were many police and detec-
tives in the hall. A few Interruptions
from the audience, which included
several colored persons, caused furi-
GUS outbursts on the part of the SEN
ator. Apparently he had the SYM
pathy Of practically the entire audi
ence. In the course of his speech he
said:
Good Almighty made the Caucasian
of better clay than the Mongolian or
the African or any other race. The
Ethiopian is burden carrier. He
has done absolutely nothing for his
tory, nor has he ever achieved any
thing Of any great importance. There
are no great men among the race.
Yet this people has been picked out
by the fanatics of the North and lifted
up to the equality of citizenship and
to the rights Of suffrage. No doubt

oratory of the greatest colored man Of

"A Millionaire Tramp"

Freqently people wonder why
one play makes a success and
another a failure, more especi-
ally when the unsuccessful pro-
ductio2 seems the superior of it's
more favored contemporary.
The secret lies in this: While
the play has failed to make
good" has the greatest literary
merit, it lacks the necessary re-
quirements to make it palatable
to the masses. The author has
sacrificed the tastes of the public
at the shrine Of art, and failure
IN his penalty. Herein lies the
