PARTICULARS KILLS HUN
DREDS IN ITALY.
Entire Villages Destroyed And Ruin
Wrought In Large Towns.

ROME, ITALY, September S.-Entire towns
DESTROYED, scores of buildings hurled to the
ground, 400 persons known to be crushed to
death by falling walls and many hundreds
more injured by flying stones and tmbers-
such was the devastation wrought today In the
province of Calabria by earthquakes.
Although the earthquake was felt all over
Calabria and to certain extent in Sicily, the
worst news comes from Pizzo and Monteleone,
and from eighteen villages which are said to
have been destroyed in their entirety.
The shock was felt at 2 55 o clock this morn
ing 1t last for IS seconds at Catauzaro, and
soon thereafter was felt at Messina, Reggie,
Monteleone, Martirano, Stefaconi, Piscoplo,
Triparni Zammaro, Cessaniti, Nadia, Olivadi
and other points.
Women aroused from their sleep rushed into
the streets, screaming with fear, carrying their
babies, and dragging along their other chill
dren.
The confusion of the night was added to by
the dreadful cries from the jails, where the
prisoners were beside themselves with fright.
In some cases they mutinied, but all were kept
within bounds.
Pizzo and Monteleone di Calabria, large
and important towns. were almost destroyed.
At Monteeone the prison was among the razed
buildings. Seven persons we're killed by It's
walls and score or more were injured. Many
other buildings were destroyed.
The hospital of Catanzaro, capital of the
province of Calabria. collapsed and many OF
the patients were injured. There the shocks
last Is seconds and were OF great violence.
All the houses at Stefaconl were wrecked
and 100 persons are believed to be buried IN
the ruins. Scarcely building was left stand
ing in the villages of Piscopio and Triparni,
and those not RACED were wrecked beyond re-
pair. Fifty lost their lives at Piscopio and
scores were severely hurt.
At Martinano all the buildings collapsed,
including the barracks of the geudaTmes. Six
wounded men were taken from the ruins and
there were other victims.
Troops have arrived there to help in the
work of salvage. OF population of mora
than 5000, there are 200 without shelter.
Sixty five persons were killed at San Gre
gorio. In Mile,o II lost their lives and 20C
were injured.
Not a structure was left in the village OF
Zammaro.
At Cessanis almost all the houses we're de.
stroyed. The number Of dead and wounded
Is not known.
The villages of Bratico, Sanfeo, Saneostan.
tino and Conidoni are in ruins. The number
of victims in these places exceeds so.
At Spilniga one person was killed and al
Santo Nobrio there are numerous victims.
Almost all the houses IN these places which
have not already collapsed threaten to fall-
The earthquake extended'into the district
of Nicastro and did great damage to property,
Light shocks we're felt also at Castellamare,
Naples and Florence.

LIaHY IN nARkEsT AFRIcA.
A Contrast Between To-day and Twen-
ty-five Years Ago.

twenty-five years ago there was not
single school in central Africa. To
day there are nearly ITO III the Liv-
ingstonia mission alone. Twenty-Five
years ago no one in central Africa
knew letter of the alphabet. To.
day there are more than 10000 schol'
ars in the schools, says the Southern
Workman. twenty-five years ago
there was no Christian in all the coun.
try. To-day 300 native teachers preach
Christ in the villages every Sabbath
day. Twenty years ago there was
but aone inquirer after Christ. Last
year there were more than 1900 cate
chumens in the baptism classes, and
in single day, at one of the stations,
more than 300 adults were received
by baptism into the church Of God.
Up to 1890 slave caravans we're a.
numerous as ever. To-day a strong
British protectorate has made slave
raiding impossible. and this much is
certain, that If Christianity had not
entered Nyasaland there would be nc
British administration there to-day
and central Africa would still be a
land of darkness, of spoliation and OF
blood
Each week volunteer evangelists 60
out two by two from the mission. No
pay is given them, but few beads
are usually furnished to enable them
to buy food at the distant stations. To
reach these the eyangelists have to
leave on Saturday afternoon, descend
some $500 feet to the lake shore and
walk from five to ten miles along
rough broken paths to their destina-
tions. They return on Monday in time
for afternoon school. In this way
sometimes not less than forty-four vii
lage services are held in a day.

Vice Is Becoming Less Privileged In
All Parts Of the Country

All Parts OF the Country
The war waged on gambling in
many other cities is sign of the
times, and a mighty cheering one.
There are a few misguided folks
who insist that city can only prosper
with the "lid on" that visitors to q
great city naturally expect to find a
good deal Of relaxation, and that they
seek the place where there is the
greatest opportunity for good
time" That is nonsense. 1t is also
reflection on humanity.
Why should the opportunity for a
stranger to lose his money be con-
sidered a municipal asset? The truth
of the matter is that from one end Of
the country to the other vice is be-
coming all the time less privileged
Those who are wise do not expect per
fection. They realize that where peo-
Pile are herded together there is bound
to be some immortality, and they do
not expect or demand blue laws or
puritanical methods.
DuL lHey uO eApcCl lliC ChAOi iSCAHch~ '
of sane laws, the punishment OF
those who do wrong. and, as far as
is possible. the betterment Of man
kind.
The official who is strong enough
and courageous enough to do his duty
finds more backing from the pIblic
than he ever had before, and there is
less maudlin sympathy for those who
disobey the laws than there has been
heretofore.
In New York there is almost con-
slant warfare on vice. The foul thing
that contaminated the police force
and made a great city noted for sin
has been compelled to fight for its
very existence for years, and the fight
gains strength as 1t progresses. The
crooks and gamblers and bribers have
suffered, while the great city has
grown greater and prospered more
than at any time in its history.
To say that a city must be bad in
order to grow and flourish is the
veriest nonsense. - Kansas City
