ROME ROCKED.
Earthquake in the Eternal
City This Morning.
Troops Called Out to Quell
Panic in a Prison.
The Vatican Buildings Were Shaken
But Not Damaged.

ROME, Nov IA severe and prolonged
earthquake shock was felt here at $50 IN
Many houses swayed badly. walls were
cracked, pictures and other articles fell from
the walls and other places, people ran panic
stricken into the streets and aserious disaster
was for a time apprehended Happily the
first shock seems TO have ended the subter-
raneous distur bance and the frightened In
hsbitants returned TO their homes No serious
damage was done Some idea of the alarm
created may be gathered from the fact that
the prison OF Regina Coli was so badly
shaken that the terrified prisoners broke into
open revolt and tried to escape from the
building The situation became so serious
that the troops from another neighboring
barracks were hastily summoned and II was
not until they had surrounded and taken
possession OF the prison that order was re-
stored, and the inmates were driven back at
the point of a bayonet 20 their cells.
The vatican buildings were severely shaken,
but the Pope was perfectly tranquil
The thoughts Of His holiness were not for
himself, but for other people in danger He
sent TO the nearest police depot, in order to
inquire il there had been any loss OF fe, or
serious damage TO property, and His Holiness
was much relieved when he was informed
that tho damdge done was slight, and that no
loss OF life had been isported

A STORY OF TEA.
The Tea Was all Right, But Fraser
Bros. Had to Pay to Prove It.

This is the simple story OF one kind OF
q mess that Uncle Sam can make and
how he makes other folk pay for it.
Fraser Brcs. the upper weybosset street
coffee, tea and spice importers, had 100
chests of tea arrive in the custom house
here at Providence for them. Sixty of the
chests OF tea were condemned by the GUS
tom house officials.
There is no official government inspec-
tor i'm Providence nor, indeed, ii is said.
in New England. OF course there are
experts enough engaged in the tea bus j.
ness who could be called upon but the To-
cal custom house officials didn't choose
to call upon any of them to examine the
100 cases of tea. Instead, a man from
Boston. who is in the drug business and
VINO inspects drugs was called in to ex-
anime the tea. The drug man made
ctennicai analysis of the tea and con-
demned the sixty cases. In the matter
OF tea inspection, so ii appears, a chemi-
cal analysis is not the right kind of an
analysis to make, is not approved by the
Government and Is said to be looked
upon as an absurdity by tea men general
cision of the Boston drug store mar. A
board of arbitration and examination
was then appointed comprising, on be-
half of the Government, MIR. George w.
Whitford of Providence. a tea sharp; on
behalf of Fraser Bros, Mr.. Willard Banks
OF New York, and selected by these two
was Mr.. Sherman of the firm of Carter a.
Macy OF New York.
The board examined the 60 condemned
cases of tea and rendered an unanimous
verdict that the drug man was in error
and that the tea was up to the standard
and all right. SO the custom house Of
ficials permitted Fraser Bros. to take the
tea away.
But the thirty dollars that Fraser
Brothers were compelled to put up 10
pay the charges of correcting the blunder
of the drug store man and the local GUS
toms officers has not been refunded them
and is not likely to be.
Uncle Sam is a hard old chap to get
money from after he once get lis hands
on roll Of bills.

in Business.


in Business.
The history of the j. b. Barnaby Com
pany, which is the most important chap
ter in the annals of the clothing business
OF New England, is one OF unceasing
progression aud remarkable development.
Since the establishment OF this immense
institution il has been reaching out for
the popular trade until its opportunities
are no longe. enjoyed exclusively by the
citizens of Providence bat have become
effective inducements TO draw 10 this city
the clothing trade of all the suburbs and
even of the other towns ane cities in
Southern New England and for that rea-
son IL has become n semi-public institu-
tion that stands out conspicuously as a
leading business concern in this part of
the-country, and, better than that, its
existence Is s-Pesiti blessing to the
masses.
Within the past year the business has
increased to such an extent that the
equipment of an additional floor for the
accommodation of the retail trade has
become necessary and the entire third
floor was taken for that purpose.
The work of refitting began six weeks
ago. Everything was renovated and
complete equipment of new fixtures put
in. Eight thousand square feet of floor
area, covered by nearly hundred hand
somely furnished oak display tables were
prepared for the accommodation and
greater facility in trading of the patrons
The new department takes up the en-
tire length and breadth of the mammoth
Barnaby Building without any obstruc-
tions in the way of partitions and there
is unobstructed light from three long
rows OF plate glass windows OH three
streets.
For the evening trade the light is furn
ished by many clusters of incandescent
lamps and scores of arc lights, and at all
times there is quick elevator service to

JONES PAID THE FREIGHT
Narrowing Tale Of a Gable Car Con-
ductor and His Best Girl.
She ana Her Family Rode Free Until
He Was Spotted-Now He Spends
Fortunes in Fares.

There is n certain young conductor on
the Avenue cable line whose best girl lives
in Georgetown, and when he was first APP

| young lady to get un his car and take ride
| She was not slow accepting his invitation
and was always on hand al Twenty-ninth

| Ofcourse, the conductor, who may be dcsig-
mated as Jones, calculated that the Young
lady vas simply dead head, " and while
/ her rides cost him nothing he succeeded in
! being in her company at least twice day.
/ She would get on the car at Twenty y-uinth
! street and ride to the navy yard and back
/ again, sometimes also with other girls.
/ This thing went on for about two weeks,
| when one evening the superintendentcailed
the dashing young conductor into his Of

Jones, began the official. "it has been
| reported to me that you frequently allow
/ persons to ride on your car without paying

The abaShed young fellow did not answer
Let it not be so again, went on the

At the corner of Tweuty-unth street the
! sight that greeted his eyes nearly froze
/ him.
There, waiting for the car, stood his
| best girl her mother and two sisters, and
| three girl friends.
! As the car slowed up at the corner he
! heard his best girl say TO the crowd that
| Jones was all right, he wouldn't take any

What was h to do? If he solicited

There was not time 10 mediate, as

strip he rung up seven fares and returned
the smile of the best girl.
At Seventh street the crowd alighted,
and as his car started off ne heard her
sweet bell-like voice calling back:
Wen wait for your car coming back. !"
or course, he had to make up the fares
from his own pocket, and it is rumored
and gossiped among the conductors and
Cripmen that Jones has to foot up big
bill for his girl and her friends for free
rides every day, and he hasn't sand enough
to tell them he has to pay for their rides

They Made Policeman Jack Do Some
SprintIng at Early Morn.

'
Sprinting at Early Morn.
AS Policeman Jack was slowly trudging
about his beat in Northwest Washington
Tuesday night shortly before midnight,
Illuminating on the past and thinking Of
the twenty minutes intervening between
him and bed, he heard on the still night air
q police distress call
''Toot-to- -ot-t-o-o-t!,
The sound. waited 20 his ear from the
north, sent a thrill through his frame as
he saw pictured before him burglars.
murderers, and other like personages that
instncttvely come to a "CoppeT's' mind
when he hears the three long calls OF the
duplex whistle at a late hour, and Jacks
steady football broke into a series of pat
tiers as he started on a run up y street
To locate the point of the call was not an
easy matter, and for ten long minutes the
excited and breathless bluecoat tried to
find the spot from whence it came, when
near at hand he again heard the triple
sound
required, and dashing up an alley he
nearly fell over half a dozen cC.ored boys.
WHO'S blowing the whistler" gasped
the policeman.
"De man Hchat lives in dat house" an
swered one of the boys, bringing an index
finger on a level with the window of a
little brick dwelling.
The officer lost no time getting to the
door and using his baton on its panels. A
head was stuck out an upper window and
a voice inquired, what yo' want?'
What did that distress call mean?"
asked Jack.
oh laughed the old colored man at
the upper window, dat weren't nothin'.
I Jest wanted yo' ter stop dem little mig
gers FUN frowing stones an tin cans at

Thepolicemansaw byhis watch thatitwas
but few minutes before turning-in time
at the station, several squares away, and
he departed nearly as fast as lie came with
a promise to lock up the old man at the
window and few muttered remarks about

Carpenters Still Discussing the Qucs-
tion and Hope for Speedy Action.
Considering the sticky state of the at
mosphere, a fair representation of the
membership of Carpenters Union, No l.,
attended last evenings regular session in
the han, at No 419 Tenth street, Presi
dent A b. Manuel occupied the chair and
]. F. p. Magee acted as secretary.
Most of the business transacted was rela-
tive TO matters Of minor aud secret import
anCe. 1t is understood that the question
of a consolidation Of the four carpenter
unions in this city was again discussed, but
no decisive action taken.
The only possible objection, say the
members of the lodge, to a union Of the
quartet Of orders, which all have the
same end in view, is that the body would
probably be too unwicldy for speedy action.
1t is likely, however, that each union will
shortly appoint committees to confer
together
