The handsome new O'Donoghue Hall on South Tryon street was opened to the public for the first time last eve ning when an interesting and scholar ly lecture was deliverd by Prof. James C. Jlonaghan of the Department of Commerce and Labor at Washington, and for some years connected with the University of Wisconsin and other in- - stitutions. The lecturer was introduced by Fath er Joseph, after which he lost no time in entering upon his subject, "The Dis covery. ofAjnjricajind theYellow-Per- -il." The speaker showed from the start his very profound acquaintance with the subject under discussion. He re viewed the various theories of the discovery -of America prior to Colum bus' time, including the Norsemen and Chinese theories and then expressed his belief in the precedence of Columbus over all others. " " Prof. Monaghan then talked about the commerce of this country and its future, a subject about which he dis played a remarkable degree of learn ing. The only country that now threat ens the foremost place of the United States is China across the Pacific with her millions of people, who can work cheaply and whose numbers are bound less. The solution of the problem lies in the fair and square deal with these people, when all will be well. The address, was listened to most at tentively and produced a fine impres sion upon the large audience present to hear Prof. Monaghan. X. C MEDICAL SOCIETY.

Ulcer of the Stomach : To Recognize and Cure It. Ulcer of the stomach may exist for years without very marked symptoms. excepting those caused by indigestion. In good health, the stomach resists the. action of the gastric juices, but when -weakened, the membrane is bad ly i-ounshed and the digestive fluids act upon it as well as upon the food, keeping up until perforation of the :tomach occurs. In advanced cases of ulcer of the stomach there is much discomfort after eating, with a con stant -gnawing sensation , between meals; pain from the pit of the stomach fcnck.to the shoulder blade. At first the symptoms cJ indigestion, treatment should at once be started with Mi-o-na. v This is a scientific rem edy .Tilapted specifically to one pur pose, the cure of stomach troubles. It is f o u iformly successful that Wood all & Sheppard giv a-signed guaran tee with every 50 cent box that the inuiey v ill be refunded if it does not cure. '' Gale Drives Ship) Ashore. Terri ble Ocean Tragedy on Vancon ver Beach, Scores are Dead and a Hundred More are Doomed, ' , Victoria, B. C... Jan. 24. A dispatch from Cape Beale says the steamer Valencia, of San Francisco, has been wrecked near there and one hundred people drowned. Nine survivors have reached Cape Beale lighthouse. The Valencia went ashore on the Vancouver Island coast near Cloose. The lighthouse keeper says about 100 were drowned. The news of the dis aster on the Vancouver Island coast is meagre, being confined to the mes sage received by Captain. Gaudin, agent of the marine service, from Lighthouse keeper Patterson at Cape Beale, saying: "Steamer wrecked between here and Cloose, about 100 drowned, nine? reached telegraph hut. Will wire more particulars as soon as possible." - Cloose is about five or sis miles from Carmanah Point and 65 miles from Victoria. Cape Beale is about 120 miles from Victoria at the easterly entrance to Barkely Sound. The Valencia, which was en route from San Francisco with 94 passen gers and a crew of 60, went ashore at midnight during a thick fog and a large number were drowned when attempting to lea,ve the ship. The steamer is on t-e rocks against a high cliff, and is likely to go to pieces at any time. One boat's crew reached Cape Beale at 3 o'clock this afternoon and nine men got ashore near the telegraph hut, about 15 miles from the lighthouse. Two men are prisoners on the face of the cliff near which the steamer went ashore and cannot get up the cliff or return to the wreck. The sea will probably reach them when the tide is high. The men report terrible scenes. One woman dropped her child into the sea when trying to hand it to her husband, who was in one of the boats. When the boat's crew left there was a little boy running about the deck crying for his mother who was among the drowned. There are still about 125 persons on the wreck with almost cer tain death staring them in - the face. The steamer Queen, which arrived here at 4 o'clock from San Francisco, landed her passengers and left at once for; the scene of the wreck. The steamer Queen city Left at midnight on her regular coast cruise and should reach the scene of the wreck in a few hours. . Urgent messages are being re ceived for assistance. A gale has been in .progress : on the island coast in the vicinity of the wreck for two days. Off Vancouver Is land. 40 miles an hour was, reported, A tremendous sea sweeps in on the rock bound shore near Cape Beale in heavy weather. Captain Gaudin, agent of marine, who received the first message of the disaster from the light keeper at Carmanah, said he judged the scene of the wreck was at Pachena Bay, at the entrance to which are the dreaded Cape Seabird rocks 'on which the steamer Michigan was wrecked some years ago. Captain Gaudin. said it was on these rocks that": the Valencia struck. The rocks stand out where the wind and current seem to concentrate their greatest force from the Pacific. A landing, unless under most favor able circumstances would appear im possible. . -"In, the absence of information," said Captain Gaudin. "is is difficult to conjecture wnat took the steamer from her course, but in my opinion the strong southeasterly gale blowing at the rate of 50 miles' an hour, and the great current which - sweeps towards the coast were responsible for driving the steamer from her,, course."

BALLON 'CORPS MAINTAINED. Kaiser' Military Experts Making Rap id Stride in This Important Feature of Modern "War Equipment. Balloon Used in Photography, Signaling and AVireless Telegraphr Berlin, Jan. 24. The employment of balloons for military purposes in - the German army dates from the end of the Franco-Prussian War, during which the attention of the German military authorities was attracted to this new departure in warfareby the successful ascents made in xaris when the cap ital was besiged by German ' troops. Captive and oth'er balloons rendered great service to the French at that time, and of sixty-four balloons which ascended no less than fifty-seven made passage's and were able to pass over the German cordon, carrying a vast number of messages and other impor tant documents. This led tle German military au thorities to establish a special branch for militafy ballooning immediately on the conclusion of 'the war. The branch, however, remained of small dimensions until ofl late years the great strides made in late years in other countries, notably in France, caused increased attention., to be paid to .the subject, which .forms' a very important feature of the German army. . Ballooning: Battalion. On March 28, 1901, an important or der was issued converting the balloon ing detachment then in existence into a ballooning battalion consisting of two companies and a -mounted detachment, totalling fifteen officers, one doctor, three officials, forty-three non-commissioned officers, 289 men, four artisans, and fifty-eight horses. Splendid new barracks . and practice grounds fitted out with the most modern improve ments near the shooting butts at- Te gal, the former tenements of the bal looning corps t proving . too small, to accomodate the '. increased number . of and Cora Cox of Lowell. There wereJ troops. since that period ballooning in 40 or oil guests present, uencious re freshments were served and the young people played games. --. Mrs, R. R.

We are always glad to print in The News a story about a remarkable suc cess achieved by advertising, and es pecially so when the article advertised is one of superior merit. -. r Not long ago R. H. Jordan & Co., Charlotte's most enterprising drug gists, succeeded in v getting the Dr. Howard Co. to allow them tosell their Specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsia at half price, as "an in troductory offer. v '- The results of this advertising have been phenomenal,' and there hasbeen hardly a week without R. H. Jordan & Co. being obliged to order fresh sup plies. Such was their confidence' in the remedy that they personally guaran teed every package of the Specific that they sold and agreed to refund the money if it did not cure. Their faith was well founded, for out of the hun dreds of packages they have sold, only one has been returned.' f - R. H. Jordan & Co., in commenting upon the great success that followed the adoption of their" suggestion, not only in Charlotte, but in other places, showed The News a letter from D. E.

'A received -my first consigh- jnent the last of July, and since then have sold hundreds of packages and cannot get it fast enough to keep my customers supplied.

From the first foundation of the corps the value of photography from balloons was recognized by the officers of the branch, and the improved photo graphic apparatus constructed of late years has enabled the great value of photographs taken from balloons for use in warfare to be amply demonstrated.- .

This troop also attaches balls and cylinders to the little signal bal loons so that by special code simulta neous orders, such as "All cease fir ing," "Stop maneuvers," etc., can be is sued to all the -troops maneuvering. On the Marconi invention of wireless telegraphy becoming known, the Em peror, speedily recognizing the impor tance of the new invention for military purposes, instructed : the ballooning branch of the German army to ascer tain to what extent it was appliable to practical warfare. The ballooning corps was specially selected for this purpose, as it is one of the conditions of wireless telegraphy that thin wires are conducted up to great heights, and this can best be done by means of bal loons. This has opened up an entirely new field of activity for the corps and the success obtained in this direction lately reflects no little credit on the. in genuity and inventive- genius of the various officers of the battalion, , In spite of the great precautions ta ken in handling the dangerous and ex plosive substances employed in con structing and filling the balloons, sev eral severe accidentJ and explosions have occurred since' the corps has been in existence. In July,, 1895, an explo sion of gas took place while a balloon was being emptied in the balloon hall of the -corps, which resulted in five men being seriouslyj wounded, and one man losing his- life. In tS99, two bal loonists' lost their lives oy inhaling impure hydrogen . during maneuvers With transportable gas developers. On two occasions balloons landing have been burned by the spontaneous combustion of the gas steaming out, a soldier losing his life on one occasion. In May, 1894, a great number of gas reservoirs exploded simultaneously on the practice ground of the corps. The explosion .was simply terrific, but, marvelous to relate, . despite-the enormous damage done to surrounding property, no lives, were-Iot. These ac cidents have resulted in the issue of new regulation for examining and ac cepting gas cylinders,1 as well as for testing their contents and storing the same. - The corps is splendidly equipped with baloons "of all sizes and shapes, no less than thirty large balloons having been constructed for its use between 1884 and 1901. -Ascents are made sev eral times during each week, and exact records are kept of all performances accomplished, these "being eagerly com pared with those made abroad. The la test developments in ballooning are followed with the greatest attention, and no pains-are spared to keep the corps in the highest state of efficiency. St-Louis Republic. . Accident to Dr. J.
