A certain Methodist clergyman in Rome had keen conducting an attack upon the Jiead of the Catholic church and when Vice-President Fairbanks, some time jbefore, visited the holy city the su preme pontiff stipulated that he would Jiot receive him in audience if he ad Jlressed Methodist gatherings. Roose volt took the same attitude as Fair banks, that he "must decline to submit to any conditions which in any way Jimit my freedom of conduct.' " The colonel said in his letter to Sir George that one' of his volunteer sec retaries at that time was "anxious to prevent the Vatican from committing what he felt wouW be a great blun fler," and while the colonel was at Naples went to Rome to see the then papal secretary of state, Cardinal Merry del Val. The stipulation by the Ipope was not withdrawn and Cplonel Roosevelt adhered to his resolution f making no agreement to refrain from speaking before Methodist meet ings. "Accordingly," he wrote, "I .was not presented at the Vatican." Rulrra Generally Likeable. In a public statement at the time the colonel declared trrat "the respect and regard those of my fellow Americans who are Catholics are as 'dear to me as the respect and regard ;of those who are Protestants," and he .expressed the hope that the incident Jwould be treated as a merely personal matter without rancor or bitterness, j! While in Rome the colonel visited 'King Victor Emmanuel and Queen '-.Helena of Italy, whom ho described 'as "faithful, conscientious and wise" as well as a lovable couple.

Sprouting nat ural gas at the rate of almost 100,000, OOofcubic feet a day, the Snake Hollow field not yet four months old, has already made a large number of per sons comfortably rich, while some thousands - of others are anxiously awaiting the outcome of -their sub terranean gamble in more than 200 wells where the drills are kept going day and night. The development, which became ap parent when a strong flow of gas blew off the top of a derrick on Sep tember 22. last, covers no more than 100 acres of town lots in the outskirts of the thriving little cjty of McKees- port, 16 miles from Pittsburg. Efforts are being made by important oil and gas interests to extend the field. If these test wells, now being drilled. come in gushers an important addition to the gas producing territory of Al legheny county will have been found. If they are "dusters," geologists say, it will not be long until Snake Hollow will be a thing of the past, and dreams of wealth be nothing more than a memory. Rock pressure the measure of na tural gas at the well, was 1600 pounds to the square inch when the first well came in. This pressure, experts say, has now been reduced to 500 pounds. indicating that already the field is beginning to decline. However, there are some 20 good wells in the field and every well which reaches the Speechlcy sand where the gas is. founri. comes in a gusher good for 5,000.000 to 10,000,000 cubic feet. This cannot last for the wells are drilled so closo together that the pool will be exhausted very soon unless it is found to extend over a much wider area than that now producing. But while it lasts Snake Hollow is taking on all the features of a boom district where fortunes are made over night. Steep hillside lots which six months ago could have been bought for a song have sold for $10, 000 and leases covering spaces not big enough to hold a drilling equipment have brought half that sum. Churches have ' leased their back yards, and schools have given over their play grounds to the driller for a consider ation. In one instance the township board of education leased a school property, getting J5000 down and 30 per cent of what the drill might find. The lease of an amusement park was sold for $160,000. A year ago the I land, surface and all that might be under it, could have been bought for $300 an acre. The amount of money already in vested in the field is placed by bank ers at $20,000,000. This is due to the high cost of everything, from drilling which reaches about $20,000 a well to commisisons of stock salesmen who are handling the securities of the 171 companies now in the market. The most profitable concerns, however. are close corporations and some ot their shareholders have been paid many times over the amount of the original investment. , The gas bearing sand is from 3000 feet to 3200 feet below the surface. with the average well 3100 feet deep. quakes which rocked the island of Hawaii in that year. - The rift, clear ly defined, runs from the southern rim of Halemaumau, the "house of fire," or firepit of Kilauea, through the south wall of the main crater and thence-to the sea, 20 miles away, in a series of wide, parallel crevasses. The new flow, however, has not made its appearance along the rift . at a point closer to the firepit than six miles, where it has welled up through the thickly lava-coated desert floor of Kau. , ' f ' From the rift ' line many' molten fountains could be seen spouting 30 feet in the air. Heavy fumes were emanating from the earth along the entire line of the rift Kilauea's latest outbreak is the culmination :of a long period of tre mendous activity, caused, say the vol cano observers, by underground pres sure of lava which was not relieved by the recent discharges from the crater proper.

Kilauea - volcano, which during the closing months of 1919 produced an eruption surpassing anything of its kind in recent years, opened 1920 with another, magnificent spectacle which had-not been paralleled since 1868. On December 22 lava from Kilauea forced its way up through the floor of the Kau desert, six miles distant from the firepit of the crater and by New Year's day observers were watch ing a flow of molten lava six miles long and 100 yards wide, traveling southward through the forest of ohia trees at a rate of three miles a day. An inner channel of the flow was making as high speed. as 12 miles an hour at the source and welling from springs 12 feet across. , As the molten lava cut Into tne for est the trees were set afire, many of them being quickly burned through at their bases and carried along up right in the flow like ranks of giant torrhes. - The location of Kilauea s most re- RUSSIAN FOOD DELAYED Supplies Ready but Upset of Jude- nitch's Plans Malts Operations. "' HELSINGFORS, Feb. 7. If it be comes possible for the United States to feed the people of Petrograd this win ter. Captain John C. Miller of the United States army medical corps ex pects to be the man on the job. He is the representative at Reval of the American relief administration and for some time has been in charge of the children's relief work now being conducted in Finland and the Baltic region. When General Judenitch'B army seemed about to capture the besieged city Captain Miller had planned to proceed to Petrograd as soon as the city fell and to receive there the food to be shipped in from Viborg and Revel and arrange for its immediate distribution. Lieutenant I. W. Wahren of Boston, who also was engaged in the work of feeding 90.000 young Finnish bene ficiaries of the American mission, also was ready to go to Petrograd. He planned to go by motor from Viborg, which is pearly 60 miles distant. American relief supplies were load ed on barges ready to start for the Russian port. Movement of these supplies by water to Petrograd might prove a hazardous undertaking, owing to the large number of mines still in the gulf, particularly in the narrow neck-like approach to Petrograd. Be yond Bjorko, where a large fleet of British warships is protected from submarines and drifting mines by net, the channel Is believed to be full of explosives, Russian and Esthonian, supplemented by those the bolshevlsts have placed. i ne J- inns nave swept their own coast of mines, but their trawlers were unable to clear the deep waters. A number of vessels have been sunk with considerable loss of life. Near v iborg 20 persons were killed recent ly. ne mine wnicn was washed up on ivipper Rock, near . Vivorg, com pletely wrecked the lighthouse there. Finnish seafaring men tell a strange' tale of the Russian mines, which, they say. differ from all others in that as soon as one is cut another rises to take its place .and still other after the second is removed. It is believed that only a few of these Russian mines have been destroyed and that probably not even the bol shevlsts themselves have- discovered the secret of their location.

How many women suffer from headache, pain in the back, poor ap petite, weak digestion, a constant feeling of weariness, palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath, pallor and nervousness? If you have any of these symptoms, do not despair of getting better, but begin now, today, to build up your blood with Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills. See how the nerv ous energy of the body is restored as the blood becomes pure and red and the entire system is strengthened to meet every demand upon it. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are useful for all women, but they are particu larly valuable to girls of school age who show symptoms of going into a decline, who become pale, nervous and languid. These pills aid in securing perfect development and health by strengthening the system and purify ing and Duiiaing up tne blood. Thin blood during the growing years of a girl's life usually means a flat-chested and hollow-cheeked womanhood. There can be neither health nor beauty without red blood, which gives bright ness to the eyes and color to cheeks and lips. A booklet, "Building Up the Blood." which tells all about this treatment, will be sent free on request by the Dr. .Williams Medicine Co., Schenec tady, N. Y.

Spiker's tour-months baby, arrived here unexpectedly today from Baltimore. He got as far as Provi dence last night by the express from Washington, but not in time to make connections for this city. -He immediately called -at .'the city hall and talked with Joseph F.'Dele hanty, assistant city clerk, who filled out Spiker's application for a mar riage license Thursday night, when an unsuccessful effort was made to have the five-day limit, law waived in order that the marriage might take place at once. , Under the law the marriage license will be issued to Spiker tomorrow morning. Probably he will be mar ried directly after that, although he said today that no hour had been set, nor a clergyman engaged to perform the ceremony. He said he expected to leave for New York City Sunday night with his wife and that he would go directly to Baltimore, where he would set up housekeeping apart from his brother and wife.
