Falcon Island Reappears.
I-alcon Island, which early last
year whs reported to nave comp.ete
ly disappeared beneath the waves of
the Pacific, is again showing its flat
snrfaeo ahovo tbe water, savs the
New York Sun. The life history
of this speck of land has been un
usual and interesting. A cable dis
patch from Europe priuted in April
lat year said that after a brief life
of 14 years Falcon Island had ceas
ed to exist It was thought that no
trace of it would ever be seen again.
But Mr. Voseioii, the Consul Gen
eral ot France in the Tonga group,
announces that Commandant Ita
venhill, of the cruiser Porpoise, has
returned to those islands from a
cruise in the Pacific with the new
of there emergence of Falcon Island.
He says that the highest part of the
island is now about 16 feet above
the sea level.
The island was formed by a great
volcanic eruption at the bottom of
the sea in 18S5. If took the wavt
aud storms of the ocean 14 years to
entirely obliterate it. The Uland
van built up in the neighborhood of
the Tonga group, about 35 miles
from tho island of Tofooa. A sub
marine volcano had reared from the
bottom t f the oc.-an a mighty mas
of tj-!, and on this loutidatiou
resttd the ont-ponring which roee
above the water. The island con
sisted of two distinct parta. One of
them whs a lull of gentle slope and
wide bse, whuse height wa 153 Ji
feet. Ou one side the hill ended
abruptly in a cliff, whose base was
washed by the sea at high water.
The other part of the island waa a
Hat, extending away from the base
of tbe hill in a northerly direction
aud ouly ten to twelve feet above
tbe high tide level. The whole bit
of laud was juct a bare, brown heap
of asiie. It will not be strargo if
the island is torn to piece and again
disappears from view within a very
few years. Its reappearance uow
is doubtless due to another volcanic
eruption. Volcanic island seldom
endure many years uules they are
to large or to well protected against
the sea that there is time for them
to become covered with dense mass
es of vegetable growth.

7:.'I0 P. M., one hour late and,
tired and Ii 11 ngry, we at once repaired
to the Jt Hers m Hotel where wo
met many friends of former days,
prominent educators from many
States, renewed old friendships,
and formed many new and pleasant
ones. The first meeting was held
iu the miigfiilicent auditorium of the
hotel at 10:.1h o'clock Thursday
no. rtiing and whs the most suspicions
t-prning in iho history ot the
orgatnV.it ion. The exercises wero
very interesting. The addresses
were of a high order and the speak
ers were given that close, Cbrncft
attenti'iii that indicated tbe intcMso
inteiest of those who beard them.
Thtro were several hundred dele
gates, including many ladica, pres

Addrissca of welcome wore do
livered by Oov. Tyler, Mayor Tay

Supt. Fox. The responses were by
I r. J unius Jordon of the University
of Arkansas, Prof. . Wharton S.
Jones of the Memphis Instil uto and
Supt. J. (1. Wooten of Paris, Texas.
One of tho most interesting and
profitable features of the session
was tho meeting of tho seven de
partment conferences at which prae
tical phases of educational work
wero discussed. Tho pleat unt rociul
features of the afternoon embraced
receptions given by Governor ami
Mrs. Tyler and at night by tho Wo
man's Club.
At 7:30 P. M , Ir. Nicholas Mur
ray Butler, of Columbia University,
New Vol k city, delivered a magnif
icent address on ; "Some Evidences
of an Education."
President Wnable, of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, spoke on
"Universities and Secondary

Agricultural College at IUIeigh,
and "Education of the Negro hi the
South" by Dr. Paul 15. P.arri.igor

Headquarters of the Association

It vfas announced that the Asso
ciation should coiitit ue iu session
three day, but ouiug to an excur
sion tendered by the local commit
tee, it was deemed best to cl.se the
sessions Friday night, or rather on
Saturday morning, for it was near
ly 1 A. M., btfore adjournment wa
reached. Tho las number on the
programme, and, perhaps one of the
most thoroughly ei joyed feature of
the entire setsioo, was the entertain
merit given by Polk Miller, assisted
by a chorus of negroes. PciLsps
the highest compliment that ctn be
paid Mr. Miller' performance i
imp'y to ay ht a very largo au
dience remained until 12:45 A. M.,
to enjoy the treat, and every mo

The tenth annual session recently

SPEECH OF EX-MAYOR HEWITT.
A Timely Talk About the Very Rich
and the Very Poor.
Since 1810 our national wealth
haa increased five tiruta as fast as
our populrttion. Who shall say that
with that wonderful increase in
wealth there is not means in abund
ance to remove all the misery and
all tho evil conditions among the
humble classes which at present are
stains and sores on our body politic?
Tho advanco of industry which
has brought us this wealth beyond
the wildest dreams of avarice has
also brought on conditions which
make it an absolute impossibility for
some people to live decent, respect
able lives.
The rich have not even begun to
do what tbey ongbt to do. Men
that I almost worship for their gen
erosity and solicitude for those that
havo less ar not giving in propor
tion to their wealth the half that
was given by their families a gen-
oration ago.
Have wo the right to take all this
wealth and di nothing to correct the
evil created yi its production ? Can
yon accept these millions and shut
your eye to the evils which weave
themselves about tho producer?
Can any one be content with siu h
conditions? Good God ! Can this
be tho end to which wo have been
working all these centuries? For
Heaven's sake, is this the result of
our industrial development, and
must our prosperity aa a nation bo
rurchased at such astaggering price?
f these terrible tenemonts, these
overcrowded districts, theso dark
and foul dwelling places, and all the
attending miseries mnnt go with in
dustry, then I would to God that
every industrial centre could be de
stroyed as was Sodom and Gomorrah
of old, and men bo driven back to
the land where they can at least have
the brce aes and the green grass aud
the s'lnshine and the bine of benven
to b ok up to.
lint there iaa thing more inelaii
ch 'ly, perhaps, confronting usat the
close of this century. While socie
ty is organized for the good of the
poople, government is not. Public
.oOiemlB p tid to punish evildoer are
instead pn-t cling v let? and innjiiity, !
and growing fat 011 the revenue. On j
every side there is an almost wanton
dinpl ty of luxury. We are u'dir
taking great public works, and yet,
poor miserable beings that we are,
we are not able to establish among
ourselves a pure and decent civic
gjvernment. Ex -Mayor Hewitt, of
New York Ciiy, Dec. 27th.
At a railroad camp neur Dnrbin,
Pocahontas county, W. Vs., lat
rnday, while the men who vere at
work 00 tho road were at dinner,
some dynamite was pUcod about a
stove to thaw out and tho natural
result followed. Tlie terrific rx-
plosion wrecked the etmp, kilhd
three men outright and injured
eight other, throe of whom have
died. The dead men were blown
into atoms, leg?, arms and bands and
other parts of their bodies being
found in different directions from
tho li:tlo building in which they
lived among the wild mountains.

Carried to Morfantoa.
A Md and pitiful sight was wit
nessed by a number of people at the
Southern rawer per depot fatfvn
ir g Mr. John Greenwood and his
d a 11 g h t p r, of S n r ry co a n ty , i 0 cb rge
of four men, on their way to 'the
Slate Hospital st Morgantoo. Doth
were bareheaded and the father'"
arms were lied with a rope, to pre
vent him from injuring anybody.
The daughter's hair waa banging
down her back. She walked besido
the father and held to one of his
arms. ,
The Elkin correspondent of the
Chailotte Observer tell of the sad
case: "During the early part of
lat week Mr. John Greenwor d and
two daughters became violent insane
almost at, the same moment. Dr.
King and Moseley were called and
they are of tbe opinion that the
trouble is caused by religions excite
ment. Monday tbe par'ties were
raving maniac and had to bo re
I'raineri by force. The physician
sid that there was no time during
the day but that either one of them
would not have killed anyone in
reach if they had been permitted.
About 3 o'clock the oldest daughter
fell dead. It is a sad, ead case and
the sympathy of the entire commu
nity go out to thera io tho mysteri
ous stiiiction. They were a oiost
excellent family and enj yed the
coi Hdencc and esteem of all v ho
knew them." Winston Seiitincl.
Owing to the fact that the Kiu
ston Mantel Company receive more
orders than their present capacity
ill allow them to till, they have de
cided to put in a larger plant.
