Activity of Volcanoes Causes Alarm,
Naples, May 17.Wltb the volcanoes
Strom boll and Etna In active eruption
retildontB of this part of Italy are be
coming alarmed lest the disturbances
may spread to Mt., Vesuvius. A close
j watch hasbeen kept upon this "an
cient terror" ever since the other two
! volcanoes began their eruption. The
memory of the last terrible disaster
a year ngo is fresh in the minds of
all Italians, and they live In the
greatest dread of Vesuvius.
So far there has been no sign from
tills volcano, but the predictions of
Professor Ferret, of Brooklyn, that
still greater volcanic activities are to
be expected In the near future has
cauHod the greatest alarm.
There has been a slight decrease
In the lava from Stromlmll, in the lust

A Mysterious Episode Which Appar
ently Places a physician la
: Bad Light.
Special to Journal. ." -'-
Raleigh, May 20. Pr7 D, 8. Row
land, a physician, who occupies a very
handsome suite of room aero located
opposite the postofflce was arrested
tonight on the Information of a tele
gram from Sheriff O. S. Falkner, of
Vance county, charging him with the
murder of his U year old son. The
case has an air of mystery about it
and the elue so far-obtained Is the
suspicious actions .of the "doctor. ,
The boy died at Henderson Satur
day, 'May 11. After Working for sev
eral days on the ease it having be
come the general belief that the lad
met with foul play and. was poisoned,
the sheriff claims he has obtained
sufficient evidence to Issue the War
rant. ,
Falkner arrived this afternoon and
went immediately to the Jail and took
Rowland into his custody. The doctor
took his arrest calmly and went with
the sheriff willingly. . ., V;
A peculiar circumstance connected
with this affair was the presence of a
heavily - veiled woman - who, hovered
near the jail and has been seen In
company with the doctor and her
presence gives color to the rumors.
She is said to have been the wife of
Ct R. Strange, an engineer of the Sea
board Air Line road, who died a few
days ago under suspicious circum
stances. . Mrs. Strange who registered
as Mrs. Charlotte Rowland was ar
rested as accessory before the crime.
Dr. Rowland Is said to have been
married to Mrs. Strange at Norfolk
last week, ' The motive for the mur
der of the son, was to obtain insur
ance on his life and the sudden death
of Strange was caused by a desire of
the woman to have him out of the
way as well as to obtain a large
amount of insurance on his life Mrs.
Strange is from Chicago and is very
handsome.

J. E. Latham's Week); Cotton Letter.
Special to Journal. ;5' ! ,v
Greensboro, May 18-ThlB has been
a very exciting week: tyf-the cotton and
wheat markets;-.' Wheat Has advanced
over iz cents per bushel and cotton
near 100 points." The reasons for this
tremendous advance in cotton is found
in the strained situation in Liverpool,
where the market is practically corn
ered, together with the unfavorable
outlook for the new crop, in many
sections. It is generally admitted that
crop conditions hereafter must be
favorable to permit the production of
a full crop. If I may be pardoned tor
mentioning it- j .myve been, talking
higher prices for several months. The
possibilities heretofore set, are still
In the market, and more than likely
cotton will some time this calendar
year Bell at materially lgher prices
but it seems to me that insrlew of the
rise of 2 cents per pound, and the
fact that it Is not. yet too late to make
big crop, that the time has : come
to go slow. A spell of warm weather
and clear sklea would improve crop
conditions' and make the speculative
talent less anxious to buy and pos
sibly incline them to sell. t

An Occasion to be Held Here whie J
Will Mean Mich to Xew Bern's
-Tracking Business. : '
The exhibit of State Horticultural
Society in this city next week, will
be an event of great Interest, and
most instructive.' This is held semi
annually; In the spring, in the east-,
ern section with early fruits, regeta- i
bles and flowers and such Is the di
versity of our' climate, 'these, are
ready for exhibition In the autumn in
the western part of the state.
It Is to be hoped that all will avail
themselves of this rare opportunity
to witness in a compact and accessi
ble way these products of .our truck
laden fields, ' and ' flowers bedocked
gardens. The ladies of our city who
are interested in floriculture, are in
vited to contribute plants and cut-
flowers, and should feel Jt Incumbent
upon them to make this department a
very creditable one. If Buch will noti
fy some member of the committee, , a
wagon will call tor, and return all
plants. Look oyer the premium list
and see the liberal inducements given
for alittle effort and energyt
ThO woods abound with beautiful
of our country friends who know just
wild flowers and ferns,' a splendid
premium' is offered for the best col
lection. This ought to appeal to some
where to find the choice ones. .
; Prof. Hutts lecture on Wednesday
evening on the "Culture of House

tion that you cannot afford to miss.
The ladles of the committee are re
quested to meet at the warehouse on
Monday at 10 o'clock to receive and
arrange the floral exhibits, and deco
rate the booths and tables.
, Rise la Sonthera Farm Values.
The rise in value of all farm lands
will continue as long as ; as there
exists the telling argument in such a
fact that with a net value of farm
products upon the capital invested of
25 per cent in the south and 18.2 per
cent In the whole country, It is seen
that tor every dollar received by the
farmers of the whole country on the
capital Invested, southern farmers re
ceived one dollar and a half. But this
Is not the only strong point in the
ease. - Tho intensely cold winters of
the norttrmakeT"but-or-door Work im
possible, for several - months of the
year. They add largely to tho cost of
keeping live-stock and to family ex
penses for fuel and heavy clothing.
Tho mild weather of the south en
ables the farmer to work 12 months
in tho year. It reduces tho cost of
live stock raising to a minimum, as
cattle can find good grazing for a
large part of the year; it makes the
fuel bill for farmers an lnconslder
able item, and It obviates the neces
sity of heavy clothing and many other
expenses absolute - necessary in all
cold countries. Thus the southern
farmers' capital In 1900 not ' only
yielded to them a dollar and a half for
every dollar returned to the farmers
of tho whole country by their capital,
but "added to this, there' was a dif
ference In the cost of living, which
Is so great that it must command
wide attention as it becomes more
fully ' understood. Manufacturers'

v A Correction.
It was told the Journal and so
printed, that the man who shot and
exploded the dynamite, and his friend
who watched the explosion, on last
Tuesday, at the shanty near tho N. &
S. railroad across tho Neuso river,
were employees of tho Postal Tele
graph Company. Tho Journal is now
Informed ' that the gentlemen were
Western Union Telegraph people, and
so makes this statement ;
If Tea KiU a Cat WIU It Live Agalal
-Whether or not there is anything
in tho tradition that a cat has- nine
lives one thing is sure that the tenac
ity that a feline has for staying alive
la spite of adverse circumstances
Is wonderful. A gentleman who was
trying to reduce his supply of cats by
the most humane method known to
him chloroform found that tho ani
mal supposed to have succumbed to
tho subtle but painless power of the
anaesthetic was among tho liveliest
of bis bunch of cats. Again ho tried
to put the cat out with the same drug
and again he failed.
The only explanation that can be
given of such extraordinary proced
ure Is that the mother cat discover
ing signs of life In the kittens almost
lifeless body never ceased licking It
j and working over It brought It too, at
I any rate the cat revived and is now
immune from any more attempts to
end its career seeing as. how It has
earned Its ri t to live. There Is no
way to gat rid of a cat than just to
let tor C a natural death.

it Is incumbent upon all business men
who can, to utilise this fence as an

New Bern can afford to keep np with

to the attractiveness of a park than
a line of display "ads" and it not only
