C. Barrie, was killed at 5:45 o'clock this evening as the result of an fll-judged attempt to board a moving Key Route train at Dwight way station and Shattuck avenue. Wade's body was drawn under the wheels and his head almost severed from his body. The skull was crushed and the re- mainder of the body terribly mangled. Frederick Wade, although a youth of but 20 years when the Barrie divorce case startled the county in 1903, was credited with arranging the details of a weird kidnaping expioit in which his aunt, Mrs. Adelaide Barrie, was the vic- tim and he, with the woman's -husband, the alleged kidnaper. Mrs. Barrie, whose husband was a com- mercial traveler, accused him of im- proper conduct and intimacy with his niece, Miss Margaret Wade, an inmate of the Barrie household. Frederick Wade's conduct in associating with her daughter, Adelaide she also objected to, declaring that Mr. Barrie and young Wade, with the giris, made her home in North Berke- ley a most ungodly place. Her accusa- tions were informal, but when they be- came neighborhood gossip, the husband and Frederick Wade decided that she was insane. Mrs. Barrie was by them placed in a hack, against her vehement protests, driven to a private sanitarium at Liver- more and booked there as a lunatic. She remained in custody for four months and her release through the aid of & sister, Miss A. Her- her story created a when she finally effected rick of Berkeley, sensation.

These mo- ments were terrible—very terrible. Yes, it was a veritable heil.” Asked if his scientific observations had yielded valuable results, Professor Matteucel replied: “Observation was extremely difficult under such disturbing conditions. The seismic instruments were badly affected by the electrical intensity, each explo- sion being announced by a violent moement of the instruments, which seemed ready to burst into pieces.” COLLECTS CINDERS AND SCORIA. Professor Matteucei sounded a long, rasping “R,” like a succession of quick taps on a drum, which, he said, resem- | bled the noise made by the seismo- graph when affected by a violent ex- plosion, “Compared with other eruptions,” continued the observer, “this was:one | of the most important in the history of Vesuvius. Its effects are less terrible than those of the eruntion in the year A. D. 79, when Pompeii was buried, but it equals in intensity the great erup- tions ‘of 1631 and 1872. What results this eruption will yield to science is not yet certain. Eruptions are not exact in | science. You cannot count on Vesuvius; each of its eruptions has its character- istics. © This one was marked by an abundance of electrical phenomena. I have collected quantities of cinders and scoria for comparison with similar mat- ter from other eruptions, and later I will collect large stones.” The professor pointed to the shelves [in his laboratory, where there were | plates containing cinders varying in size and bottles filled with ashes, and there were also in the room enormous stones, each-labeled with the date of its ejection from the volcano. Asked concerning Mount Vesuvius in “] am unable to tell with any degree of certalnty. I sincerely hope this eruption is over; but who can tell whether another terrible convulsion may not come during the next minute? However, all my indieations point to a period of calm for the next few days, and, therefore, I am hopeful. But I was hopeful last night, although a serious explosion occurred at 10 o'clock in the evening without any warping.” FALLING STONES WOUND HIM. Professor Matteucci handed the cor- respondent & stone the size of a three- inch shell as a souvenir of his visit, saying: “These . are. Very.. precious. stones. Some of them have hit me at one time or another. The¥: represent my wounds.” He :then led the WIY to his sleeping quarters, which Showed the confusion that -existed thromwghout the domestic branch of the obseryatory during the eruption. As he turned to the portico Vesuvius gave another deep groan, end- ing with a fearful explosicn which blew off a portion of its new cone. “See,” exclaimed the professor, “the eruption may be resumed at any mo- ment. That explosion rent the westerly cone.” Mount Vesuvius presented a majestic spectacle from this point of vantage at the observatory. This was far inside the outer circle of smoke which hides the volcano from Naples. The great monster stood out clearly under the bright sun- light. It was entirely white, like a snow- covered mountain; the ashes had turned its former deep green color. Its contour also nhad changed. The gigantic, jagged cone no longer rose like the setting of an enormous jeweled ring. Instead it now forms a graceful curve, harmoniz- ing. the gradual slope of the foothiils. slit here and there as with a giant saber stroke, leuving gulches through which lava cowurses. The wrecked remnant of the Funicular Railway lay at the bottom of one of these gulches, some of 'the twisted cable protruding from the ashes. PERRET TELLS OF EXPERIENCE.

It is that' low condition of the system that is brought about by the deterioration, .impovérishment -and devitalization of the blood that resuits from the heavy living, close confinement indoors, and torpifying effect of cold on the functions of the skin, liver, kidneys and other excretory organs, during the winter. This low condition of the system is known by the presence of pimples, boils and other eruptions, loss of appetite, bilious turns, fits of indigestion, headache, backache, that tired feelihg and "general lassitude, and it is a con- dition that is fraught with danger, because if not corrected it brings on more serious troubles which become chronic and often imperil life itself. SPRING SICKNESS COMES WITH THE SPRING, BUT IT DOES NOT NECES- SARILY GO WITH THE SPRING. 5 Every SPRING-SICK MAN will continue to come home from his ordinary work all tired out and with no appetite for his supper unless he gives his system the attention it demands in the spring. And every SPRING-SICK WOMAN will continue to find her usual house— hold duties, the little things she has to do in her daily routine, almost, if not quite, too much for her, unless she takes the same course. It has been proved by the experience of thousands annually that the best way to treat Spring Sickness is to take the alterative and tonic Hood’s Sarsaparilla the medicine that fulfills, as physicians say, all the indications of Spring Sickness, purifying, enriching and revitalizing the blood and' restoring healthy functional activity to the whole system. Now is the best time to treat Spring Sickness, for there is a decided advantage in setting the system to rights before the heat and depressnon of summer arrive.

Perret of New York. “I've been here only three months,” says Professor Perret. “I came to Italy originally for: my health. I had studied volcano disturbances and met Professor Matteucci.. We became mutually inter- ested and - he honored me by invit- ing me _to share his observations as an honorary assistant. The post of assist- ant, to which.I was recently appointed by the city of Naples, came at a most fortunate moment, as it permitted my observation of this -tremendous disturb- ance, which is beyond the faintest con- ception of those outside the immediate terrars. of Vesuvius. “The most terrible moment came on Saturday night.” I-had gone to Boscotre- casz for the purpose of photographing the lava stream that was then deluging that town. 1 returned ‘to the observatory about midnight. The dynamic force of the main crater increased enormously nd new crater mouths opened in the %muntalnslde within ten minutes of one another. This caused jmmense, havoc. From Naples crowds flocked to Boscotre- casz to witness the sight, which was ,grander there than at any other point. _VESUVIUS LIKE A FOUNTAIN. “At midnight the situation at the ob- servatory was terrible. The ground rocked underneath, and it was impossible to stand firmly on one’s feet. The roar- ing of the main crater was deafening; the volcano operated like a fountain, its dis- charge rising and spreading and then fall- ing over a great area. ,L The electric phenomena was terrifying. The claps of thunder were incessant, with a lurid play of lightning. The ‘cause of the phenomena was friction from the ascending particles generating electricity which displayed itself in incessant lightning and thunder claps. “No one thought of sleep, but all stood gazing at the awful scene. At 3 o'clock in the morning the lowest station seemed to be burning and at 3:30 o'clock the whole cone broke open with a tremendous earthquake shock. Redhot projectiles were precipitated toward Mount Somma and the observatory. “That seemed to be a critical moment and the brigadier of . Naples was faintty visible below through a curtain of smoke. As the correspondent journeyed upwatd a new crater suddanly burst, and from the summit of theé volcano enormous masses of sand and mist shot skyward. The monster trembled. seeming about to renew its convulsions, and the native guides hesitated, declaring that a warn- ing had already been given of another outbreak today. Fortunately it was a passing manifestation. s LOCAL ITALIAN COLONY PROVES PROMPT IN SUCCOR At a Meeting It Is Anmounced That Twelve Thousa Are Has Been Collected. A number of prominent members of the local Italian colony met yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the Italian Chamber of Commerce, 315 Montgomery street, to consider steps toward succor- ing the victims of the Vesuvius dis- aster. The Consul General, Count At- tilio Fabbri, presided. It was announced that the city com- mittee had already collected the sum of 12,000 lire. Following the passage of a motion to that effect a telegram was sent to the Minister of the Interior of Italy, placing that sum at his dis- position. Further efforts will be made to in- crease the subscriptions. Collections ‘within the ciiy are still going on. A new committee was appointed to take up subscriptions in the State at large, the members being F. N. Belgrano, di- rector of the Colombo Bank; A. Sbar- boro, director of the Italian-American Bank; A. Scatena, director of the Banca a'Tta E. Tognazzini, director of: the Swifs-American Bank, and T.
