The business was operated by Nellie Vv vgang's husband, who went through bankruptcy himself less than two years ago.

LAVA IS STILL FLOWING GREAT MASS OF LIQUID FIRE VOMITING FROM VESI VIIS. aw Finsure Open and Tonn of Molten Hock. Run Down the Side of the Great Volcano. NAPLES. Aug. 28. The correspondent of the Associated Press has just returned from spending a night on Mt. Vesuvius with the special permission of the authorities to pass within the prescribed limit. 1 be scene was terrifying but magnificent. Enormous masses of liquid fire flowed almost to the correspondent's feet, forming great mounds. Occasionally a mass of burning material became detached from the pyramid and rolled down the side of the mountain, the fast cooling lava in its turn detaching other masses, until the whole became stationary at the bottom. The main stream of molten lava flowed down the volcano until stopped by the mounds of old lava, when it divided and filled up the valleys, the old and new masses meeting with such force as to cause loud detonations, which shook the earth. With tremendous detonations heard for miles around, a new fissure opened at 6 o'clock this afternoon in the cone of Vesuvius and from the new gap came pouring out tons of burning lava which flowed in the direction of the village of Ottajano. The stream, however, encountered the deposit of lava from the previous eruption and did no harm. There is said to be no danger to the village. Kiln uen Becomes Active. HONOLULU, Aug. 28.

He couldn't help It any more than he could help his bad eyes, or his stub nose, or his ungainly figure. Rut It hurt all the same. They say that he didn't know all the members of his Cabinet.

He was surprised to learn that he had forgotten the very appearauce of the man upon whom he had Just conferred one of the greatest places in his gift. He was not a snob.

III. I MICKS OP THi: BeUTH ERIC AN WAR OFFK HI.n A1REO. Statements by Lords Robert. Wolseley. Kitehener and Lanadowne and General Sir Redvers Buller. LONDON. Aug. 2$. The evidence given before the royal commission on the South African war is issued to-day in the form of three blue books containing over 1.700 paces. Field Marshal Lord Roberts. Lord Kitehener, Field Marshal Lord Woisch y and other generals gave various reasons for the failures of the war. Lord Roberts gave especially lengthy opinious regarding the nSOOt important lessons learned from the war. He considered the initial error of strategy as practically irretrievable. He criticised the War Office with regard to the general preparations and equipment, the first plan of campaign, the underestimating of the enemy and ignorance as to the geography and extent of the country and the lack of artillery and mounted infantry. General Sir Redvers Buller said he was hampered by the refusal of the War Office to accept his rdans and the failure on the part of the War office to give him definite instructions and information. Lord Kitchener said the officers in many cases were not qualified for their work and expressed the opinion that the juniors wete better than the seniors. He praised the men, but said the chief difficulty was the lack of training of the reservists and volunteers. Lord Wolsely. in a memorandum, complains that the commander-in-chief has become the fifth wheel to the coach and that the secretary of state for war is the actual commaiiJer-in-chief. Replying to this criticism Lard Lansdowne, war secretary during the early part of the South Afrn in war, and Mr. Brodrick, present war secretary and Lord Lansdowne's successor, suggested that Lord Wolsely was ignorant of many of the powers of a commender-ln-chief, or failed to use them. The whole publication teems with evidences of mistakes and failures at home and In the field, resulting In the report of the royal commission embodying its recommendations, which were cabled Aug. 25. PROHIBITION IN KANSAS. Lavr Not Fully Enforced, bnt tieneral Fffeci In Good. Kansas City Journal. A writer in the latest issue of the Outlook 3tates that although the prohibition law has been on the statute books of Kansas mw for twenty-two years, the battle for the suppression of the saloon is only partly won. The statement is true, for, stiictly speaking, there is no absolute prohition in Kansas. The constitutional amendment adopted to secure this much des!red result, in the cities and larger towns at least, operates in practice simply to secure local option. In Kansas City and Topeka. the first and second cities in siae in the State, the enforcement of the law has oeen lax and intermittent. In Alchison. Leavenworth and Wichita no attempt is made to suppress the liquor traffic, while in ail other sizable cities and towns the people have their prohibition or whisay according as the administration in charge of the municipal government lavors a "dry" or "wide open" policy. The most flagrant instance of the violation of the law and defiance of the prohibition sentiment occurred last winter at Topeka. "here a joint was run for the use of legislators, In connection with the lobbv of a popular hold under the shadow of the dome of the State Capitol. This bold offense did more than any other fact in recent years to arouse tt.e Prohibitionists. Generally speaking, it may be truthfully said that Kansas is wedded to prohibition. The law has been beneficial, and, in many particulars, very effective. The prophecy

thai ; statute whirh could not be ssttsfactorlly aid completely enfe -ed woui4 lower the moral tone of the State has not been verified. In thos places vherf viola tlon is the most scandalous the jointkeeper and toper suffer a certain kind of outlawry. No one takes rride in them as friends, nr desires them as associates. They belong distinctively to the criminal class and have no respectable standing In society and but little open influence in politics. The moral forces which brought about prohibition are considerably strengthened by its legal existence. They arc supported irrespective of pohtical lartiev. and no candidate with wLh hope for success would dare publicly to antagonize them. The greatest obstacle to prohibition Is the rather widespread belief that saloons and joints are necessary evils through which to raise the necessary revenues tor carrying on the municipal government. The fines levied on them are looked upon as the only means by which poor drinkers, who have no property tax, can b i made to contribute their share towards tue public expense. In many cities, were It not for these fines, there would be a deficit In the treasury. Although this is so in communities where the law Is not observed, yet on the other hand those western counties and towns where it has long been enforced are better off financially as a result, for the reason that the costs of keeping peace officers and poor houses, and of punishing crime, have leen materially reduced. The city of Hutchinson furnishes sn excellent instance of this fact. We quote from a recent report of its mayor: "For the first time In the history of the city the floating debt has been reduced. The street fund has changed from a deficit of $8.000 to a surplus of $4.000 and the g neral fund from a $15.0 deh. it to $..m deficit. Not one dollar uf 'Joint' money went into the treasury in this time. In the eight years prior, when the stiloons were running, the floating debt was increased 1 y $75.000. Of this $af.O00 was ref ended and $a0.OOi' was left over for us to pay. During part of that time as high as $1.010 month was collected from the 'joints.' "In two years the criminal ftoekct of the di5trkt court originating from 1 flit f Ellison h:.s practically disappeared. The total cost to county :md city of criminal eae originating In Hutchinson for two year will be less than $500, against probably $5.0uO to $10.000 for each two years prior under the 'fine' system of allowing saloons to run. "Tax levies have been reduced, yet we levied 1 mill for a Carnegie library. Increased electric lights from thirty-four to forty-six, and added two miles of water mains to our water plant. We reduced the police force, and our city hafc been free from the criminal element. A Urge portion of the money formerly spent In saloons or lost gambling has gone into legitimste trade, and our merchants all report increased business. During two years not a woman or child has complained that htr husband's, father's or son's wages were spent in a saloon or gambling den." KIT 51 I ' W" "
