A STUDENTS STORY
 OF THE EARTHQUAKE
Edgar Spaulding Writes of the Kiil-
 ing of a Stanford Boy.

MT. and Mrs. E. A. Spaulding have received a letter from their son Ed gar who was attending Stanford uni versity when the earthquake tore things up, but who is now in Los An geles. After things were settled in Stanford a little, he and about a nun dred other boys went to San F'roncisco where they opened a Stanford relief station and did some good work for two or three days. Most of the letter is devoted to a general description, such as has been frequently publish
 ed, but the portion dealing with the killing of a Stanford student and what happened to others in the same build
 ing is of special interest. He says:
 'It was at that hour (5:12 a. m.,
 April 1S) that 1 was awakened by
 some of the loudest noises that I ever
 heard ringing in my ears. The build
 ing was shaking like one of the Brill
 street cars does when it is going fast.
 The noise was simply terrific. It sounded as if heavy hammers were hitting the hall, splitting it at every
 blow. My room was near one of the
 doors in one of the wings. l must
 have been almost awake as I had got
 ten out of bed and to my door before
 any plaster fell. I realized immedi
 ately what had happened, but did not
 think of anything to do but get out
 side I opened our door and ran to
 the outer door about fifteen feet away and was out in the road before much
 of the plaster mad fallen, and before any of the buildings fell. Henderson was close behind me and said about a square yard of plaster fell between us He cut both his feet as he ran r.FT 1 l across the alcove from me. He went out of his window and lit on a piece
 of glass. cutting his foot, so he is still on crutches. I didn't get a scratch. | We learned that four boys were bur | jed in the front of the building. The | big ornamental chimney had fallen ! through the roof and carried a tier of 1 rooms down with it to the basement. | The nole looks like an elevator shaft. | The first floor was a reception room | and was unoccupied, but two boys
 were in each of the other rooms. The l fourth floor fellows were on the bot | tom, then the third floor boys and the second floor boys on top. One of | the latter was absolutely free and the other was under his bed, which had turned over. After they got out, we heard some of the others calling that | they were all right but could not get l out. We threw stones and lumber
 until we got the three that were call ing. The two fourth floor boys were l bruised but not a bone was broken | The third floor fellow that We got out 1 had his leg broken but was all right | otherwise, but we didn't near a sound of the other boy. We threw out de- i bris for nearly an hour before he was 1 found. He was cold then and probably died instantly. His body was sent home"
 | The writer also relates the story oi the fireman who was killed, very much
 as it has been heretofore printed.

NAPoLEoN's BIRTHPLACE.

Historically, Ajaccio, Corsica, is of the utmost importance, for here it was that, on the fifteenth of August, 1769
 Napoleon Bonaparte was born, and here it was that the future emperor spent his youth, enlightened by the intelligent and lovely mother. The Casa Napoleon" is one of the-or I should say-the principal building in Ajaccio. It is a solid three-story building, with gray stucco walls and a number of large windows. Situated in the old part of town, one would scarcely find it were it not for the

boys who tender their services to guide the stranger to the place.
 Although plundered in 1739 by the partisans of Pack, the heroic COrsican fighter for liberty, the house still con- tains a few "reminiscences of the great warrior. Besides a number of ordi- nary rooms, each containing some furniture. one finds the bedroom where Napoleon was born, as well as Napo- Icons sleeping and study room, with his bed and table; his fathers study, still beautifully furnished, and the drawing room in which are ais moth CTS piano and her sedan chair From Corsica and the Corsicans," by Theo. de Veer, in Four Track news for May.

PENORscoT ICE NOTES..
American Co. Has Nearly 10000 Tons
Housed and Still Working.

Supt. John w. Puffer of the American
Ice Co. is rushing work at the company s
Penobscot river houses and up to the
present time nearly 10000 tons of ice have
been put into the houses. The cold wealth
er of the past week has been 4 great help
to the American Ice Co.; in fact. it has
been the only thing that could have made
it possible for them to get even a fair
percentage of their crop. Supt. Puffcr
will continue work at the company $
houses as long as the weather will per-
nit, and if the company gets more than
tWo-thirds of the ice it expected to get
last fall its officers will consider them
selves fortunate.
Charles d. Stanford has purchased
about 1900 tons of ice from the Citizens
Ice Co. which filled its houses just below
the Red bridge this winter with some of
the best ice cut on the river. This ice
will be shipped from Bangor this summer
together with the 1900 tons which Stan
ford & bennett put up i'm the Rollins
houses in Brewer. The Citizens Ice Co
will continue to do business as usual with
the ice they have left on hand and will
supply their local customers as usual the
coming summer.
