Following the reception Dr. and Mrs. Barron left at midnight for a bridal trip Soutn The four larte rooms on the first floor were thrown Into one for the occasion, the residence being elabor ately decorated and festooned through out with garlands, Easter Utiles and wild Ivy. The ceremony was perform ed In the east drawing room, the at tending 'couples joining In the hall from the two rear rooms and strolling Into the drawing room to the soft strains of Lohengrin's march, floating out from the adjoining parlor from violins and piano.

The rainbow effect of the handsome costume! of the women made an Im pressive picture among the Easter Hi des, palms and other artistic decora tions. In leaving the room the bridal party reversed the order, the Mendels sohn march being the music this time. Such an array of presents has sel dom been seen In this city. Among them were a number of handsome ar tistic designs In silver and cut glass, some of these coming from relatives In the East. There were half a dot en handsome chests of sliver, and one out of the ordinary but none the less ac ceptable and appropriate was a title to a pretty residence in a fashionable section of the city.

April 22. (Rowan county now leads all the outside counties of the State In the membership of the Junior Order of United' American Me chan Ics. The ' eleventh council was Instituted last njght at Union Academy and it was addressed by Mr. White head Klutti of this city. A degree team of thirty waa taken out, for the purpose of exemplification and a mem bership of more than -30 was enlisted In the new council. Not only- does this county lead the Junior Order,, but It heads the Royal Arcanum list ilsa During the past week officers for Rosewood Camp, No. 176 were install ed in the Woodmen of the World. This is also a new fraternity, being the second large camp of this order in this city. A degree team baa been ap pointed and a permanent meeting place will be selected this week. Mr. A. D, Watts, private secretary to Senator Simmons, was here yester day on his Way to Statesville whera-ha Is spending a day or two at his old home. When asked about the hysteria of Senator Simmons with the prospect of ex-Governor Aycock's entrance into Senatorial race against him, Mr. Watt replied that Senator Simmons had ne ver had the slightest fear that Mr. Aycock would run, in fact, had known all the while that the former Chief Executive had never contemplated any such course at least during this year. There was a special sent out from Washington the middle of last week In which Senator Simmons was repre sented as being In a very interesting mental mood, in a "state of mind bordering on hysteria for fear that Gov. Aycock will actively enter the race against him." In as much as Kowan county is decidely a Simmon's bailiwick, his friends here are glad that he has neither opposition nor hy sterics. FRIENDLY TO BLACKBURN The Hon. Spencer Blackburn will find no State city more friendly than was Salisbury In his late unpleasant ness which was not unpleas ant. There wag hardly a Democrat In the place who wished to see him con victed and that Is the hardest under- j stood when it Is known that he will be the hardest man to beat who could possibly be nominated against the Democratic candidate. It Is no unusu al thing to hear representative Demo crats say they hardly see any chance of beating the good-natured Congress man who enters the race with all the glamour of a vicious persecution ex plode surrounding his candidacy. Inci dentally this Is a high tribute to the charity of those men, considering the Inhumanity of politics, who would ra ther see Blackburn In the race against them than In the penitentiary. The Democrats here were quite as hopeful of acquittal aa the Republicans. At a recent meeting of the stock holders of the Coca-Cola Bottling Worke of this city, the paid-in cap- tal was Increased to $2,500 and Mr. Charles G. Snyder of this city was made secretary and treasurer Of a company that has done an Immense amount of business since coming here a year ago. Mr. J. B. Harrison of Charlotte Is president of the copora tlon. Charlotte capital dominates It. Its secretary here is a very popular man. NORDICA DATE CHANGED TO MAY 17. Tickets were put on sale yesterday for the Nordlca concert and they went rapidly. There does not seem lo be any doubt from present Indica tions that the house will be more than filled. This week the manage ment will make a personal tour of cities In the State and after this period ended, the best seats In the house will have been taken. Owing to the fact thaj. Nordlca s coming Monday night, May 14 would have necessitated her doubling: back to Lynchburg her man ager wrote to Mr. Marsh to give May 17, Thursday night the same week This was readily granted. It Is a good change for the fourteenth la Democrat ic convention day and the defeated candidates will make mean enough for one day. Salisbury sports have not been In the leant discouraged by the great Kentucky cock fights In which they lost their money and their birds. In the recent scraps with the South Car olina roosters this city won 14 out of the 17 fights and carried away $4,000 of South Carolina coin. The fights were witnessed by many Salisbury sports.

It is about rj.lWO feet above the level of the Bay of r. a pice, on mile hill called Haa oaivsy tcre af the foot of the great cone. This hill acts as a sort of lava break er, turning aside the streams which pour 1 mm me crater, so that the observatory Is free from, peril except from bombard ment by stonea and other volcanic mis sies. It frequently-has been damaged , n this way, and durtnr the nreeent eruption all Its windows have been broken. The building -constate: of a single story rais- ea on terraces and containing laborato ries, office-and living rooms fori the- ol The observatory was built by theTta lan government In 1M1 and has been pre sided over by four different directors; the Mist of whom, Slgnor Melloni, was forced to flee from the country on account of certain revolutionary political opinions which he entertained. The second direc tor. Prof. PaJmlerl, became famous for his Invention of the seismoscope. an In strument which produces electro- mag netic seismographs. Prof. Palmier! also distinguished him self by remaining at his post during the eruption Of IsTi, when the observatory was set on fire and partly destroyed by showers of red hot stones from the cra ter. The successor of Prof. Palmier! and the predecessor of Prof. Matteuccl was Bignor SemmolAi Prof. Matteuccl is not blind to the per ils of the lid on which he sits, but he seems to like his Job. When the other day he waadrlveo by the violence of the eruption away from the observatory he lost ho time in returning the. next day. "I love my mountain." he recently said, speaking of hie work there. 'I could not have her. I en wedded to her forever. My few friends say that her breath will scorch and wither my poor life one of these days; that she will bury my house in streams of liquid metal, or rase it to its foundations. Already she has hurt me, has Injured me sorely. Yet I forgive her; I wait upon -her; I son hers always." Prof. Matteueei'a dailv work at the ob servatory consists in observing dynamic and meteorological phenomena, noting the movement and-aspects of the volcano and classifying and rearranging all the existing ana newly gatnerea materials. He usually rises with or before the aun. and does .his own cooking. Eacb day he calculates tne total number of explosions, examines and collects the matter ejected ana takes photographs at close range. The most serious accident which has happened to Prof. Matteuccl occurred during the eruption of lfluo. He has given the following account of that Incident: "I was standing not far from the cra ter's edge, taking photographs. The "en ergy of the explosions was Increasing enormously; and aware that a still great er outbreak was preparing and that there was not a moment to lone. I hurried away from the edge of the abyss, calling lend I y to my assistants to follow me. "We could not run very fast, aa the ccne was covered with Immense quanti ties of loose stone which had been eject ed during the preceding few days. I re member we ran westward, toward the plain of the Fumnroll, or smoke-vents. "We were hardly sixty feet from the edge of the crater, when an awful ex plosion took place. At that moment my only thought was of my scientific work, so I stopped and turned eagerly toward the stupendous column of smoke which rose Into the sky. "Instantly I found myself In the midst of a shower of stones. How I avoided them I cannot say. "They whistled and screamed like pro jectiles In a battle. I did my best to avoid the larger rock masses, which al ways fall first. Mr. camera was smashed to Dteces. and while stoorlna to reaaln the lens I lost my balance and fell Into a mass or burning hot ashes. "I rose In groat pain; gathered Up the pieces or tne camera ror it eontainea some very valuable Alms and then. profiting by a quiet interval, I crawled down the mountain, Imperatively ordering my companions to leave everything ana come with me. In our retreat we lost many fine examples of bombs and scoriae covered with a glittering metallic glase. "On reaching the foot of the cone I did not at first realize that I was hurt. I was most grateful to have e neaped death. "The auides. however, pointed out that ray chin, and Indeed all my face was covered with wounds and bruises. . My clothes were scorched, and my hands and arms bleeding. "Later I found that I was alo very badly bruised about the body: my left foot was badly hurt, and, worst of all, my right knee had been struck by an enormous bomb In Its rebound. I was obliged to go to the hospital In Naples and remln there for several months." In 1895, m. m and 1903 ther were displays of activity on Vesuvius which occasioned much alarm for the safety of the observatory and Its director. In 1899 a secondary crater opened up, vomiting fire and nshe. emitting lava streams and rocks between the building and the foot of the cone, filling up the Piano delle Glneatre. Prof. Mxtteucct did not desert his post, although he was urged to do so. Although the observatory has so far escaped destruction, there Is no assur ance that Hh location on the hill of San Salvntore always will serve to protect It.
