In 472 an eruption of such violence took place that' ashes were aaid to have been carried aa far as Constantinople, a distance of nearly a thousand miles. After another period of rest of 131 years, Vesuvius broke loose on De cember 16, 1(31. Huge clouds of smoke and ashes cast a gloom over Naples in the middle of the day. and extended with remarkable rapidity over the southern part of Italy, as far as Tar- entum. The earth was convulsed by Violent earthquakes, and seven streams of lava poured from the crater, over whelming Rosco, Torre Annunzlata, Torre del Greco, Restna and Porticl. At least 3.000 persons lost their lives. In August, 1779, the outburst of the vol cano was so violent that red hot stones Were thrown 2,000 feet In the air, and the country was covered with ashes and mud. The eruption of 1794 destroy ed 400 lives. Lava flowed to" the sea and ashes were carried many miles Eruptions have occurred frequently since 1S04. and from September 7, 1903, until August 26, 1903, the volcano was almost constantly active, threatening Ottajano and even Naples. Several times the inhabitants of the district were thrown Into panic. After a rest the volcano became active In Septem ber, 1904. In May 1906, there was number of violent outbursts and Ve suvlus has continued to erupt at short intervals since then. with Its record of destruction ex tending over hundreds of years, It would aeem that people would not crowd their villages so close up Vesu vlus, but the land is doubtless fertile and the danger is perhaps little thought of until the eruption actually begins. SPIX IAti FEATURES. We are printing to-day the first of a series of letters from the canal zone by Mr. Woodworth Olum, one of the best known young Washington news paper men. This letter Is of a prelim inary character, but will be followed Immediately by others dealing with the actual conditions in connection with the canal work aa viewed by a news paper man of known reputation and ability. Mr. Clum Is on his present mission primarily for The Washington Poet, and it Is by special arrangement that Th Observer will print, his let ters simultaneously with the Washing ton paper. We do not know Mr. Clum, but are willing to take The Post's word for It that anything he may send will be accurate and the result of per sonal observation and inquiry. When Charlotte used to pull off bicycle races Mr. Clum, on one occasion, created quite a sensation by winning several contests over young Schade, the Vir glnla champion and a local favorite. The next Issue of The Sunday fb server will contain the first Install- of "The Oolden Flood." by Edwin Ia- fevre. The story haa had a good run in book form and promises to te an attractive serial. A letter from a friend engaged In the manufacture of cotton goods calls at tention tObthe fact that the exports of cotton ilwriestlcs from the port of New Tork for the week ending March 81 this year, were S,00tl packages; for the same week last year they were 17,335 Dackages. As the greater portion of ur exports in muon s-oons is 10 China, this reflects the effect of the boycott on Amerlcnn goods by the Chinese, and leHds our correspondent to make the following comment: "This shows you how the Arnerlosn method of treating the Chinese who pro pour to visit our country ts Injuring the Hniitli because mstiy of the mills In the nlnif nloiost exclusively on goods for ex port, which business, I know of my own knowlede, It Is now very difficult to obtiiln nt nil. While We dnlly see in the i ommerciiil reports that the business of Kngllsh mills with China Is good." Many reports as to the failure of the Chinese boycott are in circulation, but the above Is conclusive evidence that It Is Injuring RotithertI trade. Some thing should be done to bring about a remedy, both for the sake of our bual- ncK relations with China and In the Interest of fair play. We will not believe until it is done that the board of nldermen wijl, at Its meeting to-night, rescind its recent ordinance forbidding the establishment of the cow barns on Kaat Stonewall street. The wrong threatened to the large number of cllltetis who must live In that locality cannot be suspected of the gentlemen who compos the city's representative body. They would not consent to the establishment at their own door of an Institution which must in Its nature poison the atmos phere of any city neighborhood, and It I not to be believed that they would be less just to any of their fellow-cltl-sens than they would to themselves. It they hear attentively the arguments which will be presented to them to night th question at Issue will b prbmptly decided in favor of neighbor hood rights and -the public health the health of men,- women and children. . gat-red Concert Ii Mgiu.

Without Pastors Chrtstlao Education the Remedy, and Col . leges Alnst fie ISndowed. i The services yesterday, both morning and evening, at the Second Presbyterian church, were conducted by Dr Henrj Louis Smith, president of Davidson Col lege. At the morning service his ub ject was, "Christian Education," and hi argument was clear and forceful, and hik plea earnest and convincing. j, , In part he said: "In such ft subject as I have chosea for this . morning Christian Education with special "refer ence to Davidson .College, If Is difficult to know Just what path to follow. Hence I wish to speak especially of th need of th Presbyterian Church of th min istry. "We all know that the 8outhern Pres byterian Church needs a great many things: we all knew sh needs deeper consecration on the part of her member nip ana a greater appreciation oi lite work committed to her care, but bar greatest need at the present time is young men preparing for th ministry. "There ar In our Theological Seminary in Columbia only six or seven unmarriea men who expect to enter the ministry and in Union Theological Beminary there ar only 6S or 70. bene you se the dearth of ministerial students la appall ing. "In 1894 there wer in our Church 447 young men studying for the ministry, and tHat was at th time when ootton was bifiiglng only five cents. Sine then there has been ah educational revival In our Church, and w have almost doubled our gifts to missions, but there ha been a steady drop in the number of minis terial students. In 189i th number bad fullen to 378; in m to 380; in 1897 to 144: In m to 316; in 1899 to 300, and In 1909 to 291. And in m ther was a elasa of 14 young men who graduated from Union Theological Seminary, and before they hud received their dlnlomaa ther had received 114 calls to take charge of pas- loraies. "in 1903 there was a slight chang for the better, and an Increase of students for the ministry and in 1906 the number reached Sl. but this is not enough. "In the mutter of wealth and founding cc w churches our Church is advancing. 1ut there are not enough young minis ters in our seminaries to mora man taae the place of the pastors who die each year. The crying shame of our Church Is the dearth of ministers. We have come to the time that when a place be comes vacant It must be filled by pulling some man away from another charge where he Is useful, and leavirrg that vacant. The question now Is not who can we get? but 'can we get anyone?" when a church becomes vaPant. There are now in the Southern Presbyterian Church lit churches without pastor. "The next question, for us to consider is: 'How can we supply this lackT The answer is: By endowing our Christian colleges. "In the early days of the Methodist Church there was among the ministry an aversion to an educated mlnlatry They were against head religion, and In favor If heart religion, but they learned through the stern logic of experience their mistake, and the result has been that the Methodist Church has taken the lead over the whole United States in the establinhment of schools for men: while our l'resoyterlan Church, which revolu tlonlzed Scotland, and that has nlways stood for an educated ministry hits in every State allowed the Methodist Church to outrun her in establishing col leges for men. The Methodist Churo gives from two to three times as much to this cause as does our Church, and takes a collection for the cause of edu cation a- regularly as we do for mis Minns. We are ahead on mlsnlons, but not on education. "It Is the Church colleges that supply ine cnnnimues lor tne ministry, i can give you figures to prove this. Ijmt year the number of students for the ministry. Including those of all the theological schools In all Protestant denominations, was 1915. The ratalovues of these schools record the- name of the Institution at which every student received his literary education and of these 1,915 mlnlaterial students only 110 were educated at State universities and other non-denomina tional schools, while 1,806 were educated at Church institutions. You may ask me to explain this, but that is not my niisiness to-uay. Jin who runs may read, If lie has the faculty of understanding inese raeis. "And the Presbyterian Church will nev er have enough ministers If we do not give our Church schools the endowment they need. "I know there are learned men who sneor at what they call the myths and ranies in the Old Testament. And know there are men who claim that their research Into botany and other natural sciences has shown them that there Is no such thing as immortality, and that oth er claim there Is no place for Ood In the orld, hut that if natural law Is given a sufficient amount of mind and mutter It will accomplish all that is at tributed to God; and I know others sneer at what they call the narrowness and plcayunlshness of ministers, but our duty to (tod and our Church remains the same. "I wish now to sneak for a little while with special reference to the work of Pavldaon College In this particular dl rectlon of the ministry, tinvidsnn has done mom for the Southern Presbyterian Church than Princeton has for the Northern Church. Last year there were at Davidson m young men wlio expect to enter the ministry, while at Princeton there were only 12 who had positively so decided, and throe or four more who were thinking of doing so. And there are now liu memners or the south cm Amlly who wore educated at Davidson, nnd within the last thrte ars 18 or IS young men nt Davidson ave entered the minlntry, and 25 have decided to do so, and 19 hare given them' selves to foreign mlnsions. At the present time there are SO men on the campus Who iiHVe oeeiaeu io preach tne Wospel more are carriers to our usefulness n the fact that the college, has never been supported Mnniiolsilv by the Church. Itefore the war V Jim llnon Col ego was richer than Princeton, and Princeton lost no buildings liv th war. but lost the liberal endowment. The Income from the endowment of Davidson College Is less than tMOO, while the Income from the endowment of Trlh ty College is ru.onn. and that of Wak Forest College Is 119, noo. "Davidson College live on th tuition fee that are rigidly collected, but she gives free tuition to ail young men study- ng ror ine ministry, ana to nil sons or ministers, ana this amounts to from tt.860 to $4 140 a year. We have prayed for ministers and Ood ha answered one prayer, but this has bankrupted the Col- iew. lor inn scnooi ennnoi mm bii ine running expense from the tuition fee eollctea. it can naretr live from these. The success of the college during the last nv years ha been marvelous, and the patronag is now from Is States while then It wa from ontv t: the prob lem that face us now Is not how to get si (taenia, mil now io get a roor over tit head nf th students who come to us. I ask you to p ace the cause of Chrl tian education where It belonca in votir aneciion nna prayers.

The line will be five miles long, and the famous White Sulphur .Springs Hotel has Just been completed. At the same meeting a franchise Wfts granted K. C. Harris, owner of the local telephone exchange to run tewnty-flve years. This Is the same splendid system that Is now operating as an independent concern. At a meeting of some of the lead.
