sort of wisdom that comes from books.
The young man was also poor, but he
was not wise-he wanted to marry

REEr BY EARTHQUAKES.

The Island oF Zast- Again the scene o'
 Violent seismic DisturJauce-Scores ot Lives Lost a-d HundreCs ct the Panic
 Stricken Inhabitants Injured-fhe Sreek
 Government Acting Promptly with i'e-
 lief Measures.
 ATHENS, April 1.-The island of Zante, one of the principal lonian islands, was to-day visited by most destructive earthquake, resulting ln great loss of life and property.
 Already the bodies of twenty per sons killed by falling walls have been removed from the debris, and it is feared that many more dead are still in the ruins. The number of persons injured runs up into the hundreds. There is bound to be an enormous amount of suffering. and outside aid will be urgently required to prevent sickness and starvation.
 The shock occurred at 7:30 a. m. Most of the buildings that stood erect after the shocks of February and March were either thrown down or shattered so as to be unsafe for occu- pancy.
 Advices from the interior show that the whole island has been devastated.
 It is pointed out here that the Zante disaster is confirming the prediction made few days ago by Prof Falb, who predicted the former earthquakes, that disturbances more serious than the recent ones would occur on April 16 or IT. His prediction has proved true, for this shock is the worst that has ever visited Zante, which is noted for it's earthquakes.
 The Greek government has acted promptly in rendering aid to the sui ferers by the earthquake on the island of Zante. The two Greek ironclads Hydra and Spezia have already started for Zante, having on board detach- ment of engineers as well as provisions and medicines for the survivors of the calamity.

Wll March fin the Columbian Parade in

 NEW YORK, April 1S.-The Advertiser says: Secretary Herbert of the navy has instructed Admiral Gherardi to all low the United States men, of-war sailors to participate in the great land parade which President Cleveland will review on April 2s. This assures the success of the principal feature of the Columbian celebration. That many of the sailors might desert if given such wholesale opportunities ashore was an objection urged as a sort of maxim in naval dis cipline. The decision just reached was announced officially yesterday through Chairman J. l. C. Clarke, of the com mittee on plans and scope.
 Five thousand tars in blue will march in the great procession aggre- gating Ii, 900 men, as now arranged, to Fifth avenue by way of Forty-second street, thence to Washington square and down Broadway to the city hall.

Two More Sl,ocks.

ATHENS, April 17.-Since 7:30 this morning two more heavy shocks have shaken the whole island of Iante. The people are fleeing from all the towns to find safety on the plains and hillsides. All are terror-stricken, al- though thousands are without shelter and few have sufficient food. The British minister resident has tele- graphed to the British foreign office a request for war ships to be sent at once to Zante with men and building ma terials, that temporary sheds may be erected for the shelterless.

CALLED TO FORK OVER.
The Late Servian Regency Called Upon
 for Misappropriated Funds.

BELGRADE, April tS.-Trouble has al- ready begun for the ex-Regents Ris- itch and Bolimarkovitch and their late ministry. The new government, as result of investiga tions already made concerning the finances of the country since Alexander acquired power by the coup d'etat of last Thursday night, has made demand that the eX-regents and ex-ministers shall reimb the gov ernment for the sum of ?, 400. 900 dinars, or francs, appropriated during the regency under the pretext of having been used in the secret service of the state.
