An Advent urous Correspondent.
Few newspapers In the United States
are able to command the services OF
as brilliant as corps of correspon
dents as THE CHICAGO RECoRD-HER
AID. It's choice OF Walter Wellman
to represent it at Washington Is a
good illustration Of It's wise policy
OF getting tho best there is to be had
Mr.. Walter Welman has won a
national reputation as n magnetic
and resourceful news writer. And
now he is preparing to c!inch his
reputation for originality and daring
by trying to reach the north pole In
an airship.
Whatever may be the result OF Mr..
Wellman's daring attempt to reach
the pole next summer In an airship
and send the news OF the voyage at
once TO THE RECoRD-HERALD by
wireless telegraphy, the Wellman-
RECORD HERALD expedition is sure to
be conducted by Mr.. Wellman with
the same cool courage and whole
souled enthusiasm that have made
him an ideal newspaper correspondent.
Mr.. Wellman was born In Mentor,
Ohio, In 1858, At IA he began his
newspaper experience, establishing at
that age weekly newspaper In the
little town Of OF Sutton, Neb. In 1884
he became the Washington CORE
spondent of the CHICAG HERALD, for
which paper he visited the West Indies
in 1892 and located the landing place
OF Columbus, marking the spot with n
hugo stone monument. In 1894 he
made his first dash for the pole,
reaching the latitude OF 81 degrees
northeast OF Spitzbergen. In 1898 he
tried the same fascinating quest again,
penetrating as far rs Fraz Josef Land.
On both trips he had wonderful success

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

Hudson True Republican; Those
who believe In protection, especially
on wool, should go to n store and try
TO get good Atwood stockings. They
would get almost everything but wool
for the hardest thing In the world TO
do is to get good clothing OF that class
right here in an agricultural country.
What Is the reasonP 1t cannot be
because IL lacks protection for IL be-
longs to the most favored class. The
price paid for wool TO farmers Is not
ouch rs TO place out OF reach OF man
ufacturers. Something Is wrong. 1t
1t is n case where protection does not
help the producer and 1t makes matters
n great deal worse for the consumer.

ERUPTION DISAPPEARS
Work of Cleaning Roofs And
Streets Now On.
PEOPLE RETURNING TO HOMES
Churches of the City Are oVererowded
With Worshipers of All Glasses,
Every Religious Function Being
Thanksgiving for Danger Passed.

Naples, April 14.-8:40 a. m.-The
news from the Vesuvius region contin-
ues to be satisfactory, the sun is shin
ing brightly this morning, and the last
vestiges of the eruption are disappear
Ing from Naples.
The work of cleaning and sweeping
is still going on here, but the city has
about resumed its normal appearance,
while the reports from the villages and
the towns in the region Of Vesuvius
say that the people are gradually re-
turning to their homes; that the stores
are being re-Opened, and that the in
habitants of the towns which have suf-
fered the least are actively engaged in
repairing their damaged homes and
churches, and In opening up the roads,
in which they are assisted by the
troops and government engineers.
This being Sabato Sano or Saturday
before Easter, the churches Of this
city are overcrowded with worshipers
of all classes, from the lady in an ele
CANT gown arriving in a magnificent
carriage, to the humble beggar girl
finds 1t difficult to afford the chief
handkerchief on her head, as the
churches in Naples particularly are
common meeting ground for the prfn
cess and the peasant.
Every religious function today was a
Thanksgiving for the danger passed.
while requiem masses were celebrated
for the repose of the victims Of the
volcanic disaster
the Patron Saint of Naples, San Gen
naro, child was engaged in specially
earnest prayer. Afterward as she left
the cathedral, looking particularly hap
py, she was questioned as to what was
the boon she had been asking of San
Gennaro, to which the child replied:
That the saint will cause the queen
to come and live in Naples, as she
brings good luck. The volcano is
afraid of her"
The feeling of joyous thanksgiving
in Naples contrasted strongly with the
mournful scenes witnessed in the des-
olated districts-relatives weeping
over their dead and priests going from
house to house blessing the homes of
the bereayed, while above them was
Mount Vesuvius still retaining a threat
ening appearance.

America was signalized by the sending
of telegram of sympathy to w. D.

Western Federation of Miners in Jail
at Caldwell, Idaho, on the charge of
conspiracy to murder Ex-Governor

feared by some of his friends. blights
the prospects of his work here at the

The telegram follows:

iverance for the oppressed of all the
world is at hand. Ever fraternally

Gaylord Wiltshire, whose apartments
at the hotel Belleclaire are occupied
by Gorky, was seen Friday night, and
said:
Il am responsible for the initiation
in the telegram matter. 1t was not

II he would approve a message of

he said yes l then pnrased and had
1t typewriter, signed his name and
sent 1t. l subsequently submitted
copy of the message to young Nikola
Pieschoff, Gorky's stepson, and he ap-

Gorky's approval that he was thorough
