ITALY TEMBLOR
The Greatest Earthquake
Disaster in Years
A GALABRIAN CALAMITY
Many Towns Partially or Wholly De-
strOyed by a Splitting Of the Earth
Yesterday HOrning-The Mortality
is Supposed to be Great.

Rome, Sept. S.-All Italy is suffer-
ing from terrible depression because
of the news from the south, where one
of the worst earthquakes ever exper-
fenced occurred today. Although the
earthquake was felt all over Calabria
and to a certain extent in Sicily, the
worst news comes from PiZzo and
Monte Leone and from eighteen vii
lagos which are said to have been COM
pletely destroyed. According to the
latest news received $40 persons have
been killed and a great number in
jured. 1t is as yet impossible to even
estimate the property losses.
The shock was felt at 1855 o'clock
this morning. 1t lasted for eighteen
seconds at Catanzaro and soon there
after was felt at Messina. Reggie, Mon
tie Leone, Martinano. Stefacomi Pisco-
phio Triparni, Zammaro, Cessaniti,
Nadia, Olivadi and other points.
Scenes of indescribable terror ensued.
Women aroused from their sleep rusn-
ed half clothed into the streets scream
ing with fear carrying their babies and
dragging along their other children and
calling for help on the madonna and
the saints. The men escaped into the
open with their families all calling on
their favorite saints for protection. The
cafes were taken by assault by the
strangely garbed crowd but as daylight
broke without a repetition of the earth
quakes the crowd gradually melted
away until by o'clock the streets had
almost assumed their normal appear
ance except in the ruined villages
where the inhabitants had no homes C
go to. The general conclusion was add
ed to by dreadful cries from the jails
where the prisoners were beside them
selves with fright and in some cases
mutinied, but fortunately all the pris-
oners were kept within bounds.
Troops, engineers and doctors have
been hurried to the scenes of disaster
to assist in the work of rescue and
salvage. The ministry of the interior
sent $4,000 for relief of the destitute
and director of public works, Ferraris
left for Calabria this evening.

l REMOVER REMOVED
Late Public Printer Palmer Out Of
Jcf.

oyster Bay Sept. S.-President
Roosevelt this afternoon took sum-
mary action in the case of Frank W.
Palmer, public printer and head of
the government printing office at
Washington, by removing him from
office.
Last Monday the president directed
Mr.. Palmer to send to him his resig-
nation to- take effect on the 18th in
slant At the same time he directed
him not TO take any further action in
the cases of Oscar ]. Ricketts,, fore
man of printing. and l. G. Hay, a di-
vision foreman in the government
printing office, whose designations Mr..
Palmer had requested.
Mr.. Palmer had given Ricketts, and
Hay until Tuesday to show cause in
writing why the charges he had made
against them should not be operative
in removing them from their positions
in the event of their failure to resign.
He was therefore removed from office
by telegraph and directed to turn over
the government printing office to Fore
man Ricketts,. The latter appointment
is believed to be temporary. The
president has not yet determined
whom he may appoint as successor to
Mr.. Palmer.

CROOKED CONTRACTORS
Army Authorities Order the Prose-
cution Of Gra5ters.

Washington. D. c., Sept. S.-The
criminal prosecution of Morris Busch,
contractor. and Robert Charlton. in
spector, was ordered today by acting
secretary of war oliver. Busch holds
a contract from the quartermaster's 5
department of the army to furnish caps
and gauntlets to be delivered to the
SchuylSill arsenal at Philadelphia. The
order of prosecution was taken on the
strength of a report of Major Strong
of the artillery corps, acting inspector
general in which is shown a con-
spiracy to defraud the government be-
tween Busch and Charlton.
Beside the criminal prosecution AS
sistant Secretary Oliver directs Buscl
to be compelled to complete the con-
tract under a penalty of suit for da-
images. The report of Major Strong
also led Mr.. Oliver to order all i'm
mediate investigation of the depots
containing army supplies in New York,
Boston. Philadelphia. Jeffersonvihe,
Ind, San Francisco, Seattle and other
places.

GOVERNMENT CONCEDES
II Will Inform the POpulace How the
War Was Settled. The Hartman
Affair Was Not Studied Insult to
Foreigners.

Toxic Sept S.-The city is quiet
Complete reports from the metrOpoli-
tan and outlying districts indicate that
there was no disorder throughout the
night or early morning. The quietness
of the night is ascribed to a heavy rain
which scattered the crowds, although
the presence of military guards is
having a beneficial effect. The street
car service has been suspended at
night and the suspension will continue
while there is danger of a destruction
of the cars. The government has sus-
pended a total of five newspapers and
it is expected that the publication of
others will be prevented.
1t is predicted that trouble will oc-
cur tonight, providing the weather is
favorable, although many believe that
the most serious part of the disturb
ance is over. unless an accidental
clash with the military. resulting in
bIoodshed. occurs.
The government has not indicated
its intention regarding the summoninS
of a special session of the diet, but it
is believed that a call will soon be
issued.
Government officials and the better
class of japanese citizens are express
ing keen regret over the attacks on
Christian churches. They explain that
the affair was the result of local con-
ditions and that it does not indicate a
serious anti-foreign or anti-Christian
feeling. They say that there has been
local feeling over the refusal of the
native Christians to contribute to tenn
pie subscriptions. Many declare that

A MERE INCIDENT.
The Japanese Had Nothing Against the
Hartman Party.

Toxic, Sept. S.-The incident of the
attack on the members of the Harri-
man party is not regarded as a demon
stration against Americans or other
foreigners, but is believed to have
largely been the result of the time and
circumstances.
There have been a few expressions
of regret that japan consented to
President RooseVelts proposal for a
peace conference, but it is apparent
that this sentiment is not generally
held. Many expressions of regret have
been made by all classes over the Har-

trouble by rebuking the crown for acts
of violence.
1t was learned last night that a mob
intended to attack the Catholic ca
thedral at Tsukiji, but no demonstra-
tion was made. Foreigners in Toxic,
generally, are unconcerned over the
situation. Some elements continue to
express regret that Japan consented to
the Portsmouth conference but there
is no indication that the sentiment is
general.
Preparations are progressing to pre-
sent claims to the government for the
foreign church property which has
been destroyed.
The members of the Hartman par
ty have gone to Nikko, having can
celled the local program for their en-
tertainment.

in the number of deaths there was an

TEE OUTLOOK FOR 1905.

The fashion outlook for this season
was never so bewilderingly complex
as at the present moment. Never
were there so many absolutely diverse
styles to choose from, each and every
one bearing the hall mark of the very
latest design, and also being indescrib-
ably smart"
Crinoline is more than limited at, for
there are underskirts made to wear
with street and house gowns that have
two and three pieces of feather bone
Inserted in tucks or cordings, so that
the skirt stands out almost as did the
crinoline skirts of olden time. In truth,
some aid is necessary to hold out such
width Of skirt as is required in the
fashionable gown intended for late
autumn or early winter wear.
Cloth costumes will be extremely
fashionable, so also will velvet and
relvetecn costumes, while among the
new materials are many so-called vel
vets and velveteens that bear the
strongest possible resemblance to
plush-but with rather a shorter nap
than was fashionable when plush was
last in favor. Silk, satin, brocade, all
are in demand for evening gowns, and
also there are gauzes, nets, laces, and
tulcs that suggest ball gowns when
seen first in the material Itself.-Har-
pcrs Bazar Fashion Number.

CHANGE OF MENU.

So many housekeepers make the mis-
take of having regular schedules which
they follow for the week. Yet tco
much importance cannot be laid upon
constant change.
Mutton Mondays, beef Tuesdays and
so on, coming regularly, week after
week, certainly isn't conducive to ap-
petite, especially if it's at all "flicky."
It's bad enough for the housemother
to know every one Of the "twentJ-one
meals a week" in advance. But, un-
less it's absolutely necessary, the same
sequences of meals should be avoided.
Boarding houses nearly always have
regular meats regular nights-a mis-
take that is got into by the effort for
a system. ut'systen isn't in having
the same things over and over again
in the same way. There's system in
constant change, especially in constant
change in menu.
Another mistake, OF the sane lines,
Is made usually by the very young
housekeeper-and that is in dishing up
the "left-overs" at the very next meal,
instead Of giving the palate tine to
forget.
Change, change, change. Doctors
and taste agree in preaching that for
health and strength have their foun-
cations in appetite, and appetite de-
pends largely upon change.
