KING EDWARD AT VESUVIUS
Royal Party Visited Observatory Then
Viewed the Smoking Volcano.

Naples, April 30.-The. weather con-
fine, King Edward said he
would not leave Naples without visit
ling the royal observatory on Mount
IVesuvius. The Duke and Duchess Of
lAosta were delighted and offered 70
Iguide the king. Five automobiles were
Iordered to convey the royal party 10
Mount Vesuvius. They were met by
Professors Matteucci and Perret. The
king congratulated both the scientists
lon their work, and drew from them j
minute account Of their experiences in
the days they passed as prisoners IN
THE observatory during the recent erup-
Ition of Vesuvius, a period in which the
Iseismologists were exposed to momen-
Itary danger Of a horrible death.
Afterwards the royal party ascend
led above the observatory through two
feet of volcanic ashes, which had
scarcely dried since the torrential rains
|of last week.
The fatigue of the walk was repaid
by a view of the smoking volcano, be-
which spread the devastated
and valleys.

Instability of holding an election now

900 to $500, 600, Geo annually, much de-
lpends so far as the coming encamp-
Iment, that it is whether the entire
lguard will go in camp OF only a part
Iof it. The officials seem to be hopeful
|of the passage of the bill, which indeed
has a very strong backing, ever if the
bill waits to became a law a portion

EDUCATION OF NEGROES
Good Work Done by SOutherners
Which is Not Generally Known.

Booker Washington is quoted by The
Philadelphia Ledger as saying in the
course of a speech in Philadelphia re-
Gently:
Many of you have, perhaps, not
heard that much was done for the
Christian education of negroes during
the period of slavery. Stonewall Jack-
son and Robert E. Lee, for example,
were engaged in teaching Sunday
school classes composed entirely of
blacks. And today a high class o.
Southern people is doing work thar
you do not hear much about. Only
a few months ago l went to a city in
Arkansas, where | found that a white
man spent thousands of dollars main
tanning an institution for the Chris
tan education of black people. l, who
have been in this work so many years,
had never heard of this great world.
If a l%ynching had taken place in that
town the news Of it would have been
flashed t%hrougout the length and
breadth of the land. But of this mans
splendid service to the negro race and
to humanity you have heard nothing"
The only strange thing about this
utterance is that Washington should
have made it in Philadelphia. 1t is an
old story to Southerners, and withal
a true one but DR.. WashingtOn's proc
lamation Of it, and especially in a
Northern city, is very much to his
credit..-Charlotte Observer.

TWO IN ZION
Both Holding Forth as 1.-The One and
Only'-The Dispute to be Decided
by the Courts.

Chicago, April 29.-Standing un-
steadily and with great effort before an
audience of $500 persons in Zion tab
iernacle this afternoon. John Alexan-
der Dowie charged his traducers, If any
were present, TO make their accusations
before the whole congregation.
The followers Of Volvia, the new
Header Of Zion City's affairs, however,
were attending a rival meeting, set for
the same hour, at the Zion College
building. There 5000 of the city's in
habitants were gathered, together with
the Zion choir, now Invested of its
ecclesiastical garb, and the Zion band
and orchestra.
Those who listened to Dowie were
mostly visitors. In front of the plat
form and ia the choir loft were proba-
bly, $50 faithful Dowieites.
Dowie was borne bodily by two stall
wart negro attendants from an ante
room to the platform and deposited
upon his feet before the elaborate al
tar. He was attirSd in a new apos-
itolic robe Of white, gold and purple.
ION his head vas a turban of marvellous
pattern embroidered in purple and geld.
He delivered his address slated before
the altar. OOnly occasionally, when
aroused to an unusual pitch of earn
mess, did he rise.
Mrs. DOwie, who has severed her al
Ilegiance with Voliva, sat in a wicker
Ichair among Dowie's followers in the
congregation. Except for former May
or r. D. Harper, Dowie was alone on
the platform. Dowie announced the
hymns and led in prayer in a firm voice
He prefaced his sermon with a spirited
denial of the charges light against
him by Voliva and others.
They say I've taken the peoples
money; do you believe it?' he asked.
ANSWERS of Yes" and NO" came from
different parts of the audience. A
imam who said yes was singled u by
|Dowie. Pointing a trembling finger at
the man, DoWie asked him to stand up
and tell what money l took and
when The man sat still. A guard
was ordered to compel the man to
island, but he stood silent.
No n offered to accuse DOWie.
Dowie paid a tribute to Mrs. DoWie,
saying she was misled and imposed
upon. MY son played tricks on me
which he ought not to have done, but
he too was deceived
Dowie made his first appearance III
the tabernacle at $50 o'clock this
morning, when he conducted a prayer
and praise service. About 100 were
present. Voliva held a similar meeting
and it was largely attended. Dowie has
taken up his abode in Shiloh house,
where he intends to remain in retire.
|ment until after the decision of the
court in his injunction suit against Vo-
liVa.

WOULD-BE SUICIDE
Attempts Hanging Then Tries TO But
Out His Brains in Winston Cit,
Prison.

Joe Lawson, of Walnut Cove, at
tempted t commit suicide in the city
lookup yesterday afternoon. Tearing
a slip from his blanket he constructed
a moose, which he placed around his
neck and climbing up the side Of his
cell he fastened the other end to the
bars across the top and jumped down.
However, his toes reached the floor
and he quickly united the blanket strip
from his neck. Afterwards he rushed
around the cell ramming his head
againsrthe bars and yelling like q lun-
attic.
At two O'Clock this morning he
was resting quietly. At first it was
supposed he was suffering with de-
lirium tremens, but a. his breath vas
free from the odor of whiskey 1t YVES
decided that ne was temporarily crazy.
