Long gloves, which have had such great

RUIN sOCORRO
Shake Down Buildings and Put
Inhabitants to Flight.
Fifty-two Shocks Cause Terrified
Refugees to Pour Out of Rio
Grande Valley

Ell Paso, Texas.-Fifty-two Garth
quake shocks within a space of two
days have almost completely wrecked
the town of Socorro, in New Mexico,
and have sent the inhabitants fleeing
panic-stricken from the city. Socorro
is a small city of several hundred in
habitants north Of Ell Paso, on the
El Paso branch of the Santa Fee Rail-
road, the county seat of Socorro
County and the seat of Che New Mex
leo School of Mines.
The earthquake shocks have been
felt and they have been getting worse
until now they occur every few min
utes. The water in the hot springs
near there has increased several de-
grees in temperature, and the inhab-
itants fear that the ancient extinct
volcano ten miles from the town will
break out and begin. squirting lava
again.
The Court House is now a mass of
ruins and almost every house in the
town made Of adobe structure is
cracked and falling. Many have al
ready fallen, crushing their contents,
the inmates having already aban-
doned them. Nobody has lived in
doors for a week, and most of the
people are fleeing from the COM
munity. The Santa Fe Railroad has
sent box cars into which the people
are piling and being hauled out like
cattle. How much longer they can
get away ON cars is not certain, as
great boulGers and tons of earth are
topping onto the track In various
places and every train has to stop
until the obstruction can be removed.
The people re fleeing without any,
thing. They are locking up their
houses, taking the train and getting
out as soon as they can. The entire
surrounding country has also felt the
shocks, and much damage has been
done, especially at San Marcial and
Magdalena, but not so severely as at
Socorro, where most of the damage
has resulted. Several houses J We
been shaken down at Magdalena, and
violent quakes have broken the plas-
ter from the houses in San Marcial
and even as far south as Las Cruces.
Nobody sleeps inside an adobe house
in San Marcial or Magdalena, and 1t
is said by messengers and refugees
arriving from Socorro that there are
not a dozen persons left in that city.
Many have arrived here from the
stricken section.

200 BLUEJACKETS POISONED,
Tainted Liver Bought in Boston
Causes Illness on Evans Fleet.

Washington, D. C.-Word was re-
celVed at the Navy Department from
Admiral Robley D. Evans, at Rock
port, Mass, saying that 200 sailors
are in care of physicians, because of
poisoning by eating tainted liver pro-
cured from a Boston vender of meats.
An inquiry is under way to ascertain
II the meat was unfit for food when
purchased, or if improper refrigera-
ton on shipboard causes it to be-
come unfit.
More than thirty of the sailors are
very i'll, and prolonged treatment
will be required. Fatalities will not
surprise the surgeons. 1t appears
that the commissary department, in
charge OF the p%urveying for the fleet
at Rockport, numbering more than
forty vessels, from gigantic battle
ships to diminutive gunboats, went
to the Boston Navy Yards provision
er for advice.
He was directed to a firm who
buys from one of the big Four
packers.
An order for two tons Of liver was
filled, and the regulations require a
rigid inspection.
Admiral Evans, who is much per-
turbed and angry, is endeavoring to
find out If orders were obeyed.
So great Importance here is at
tached to the matter that the Acting
Secretary has ordered that a careful
test be made of all re%frigerators in
the naval squadron, as we'll as the
food r~eceptacles. The naval authori-
ties decline to give the names Of the
sick sailors. Advices from Boston say
the meat vendors insist that the liver
was in good condition when deliv-
cred,

MOTOR BUS HORROR.
Ten Passengers Killed When Brakes
Refuse to Act on Hill.

London.-Owing to the brakes fail
ing to act a motor omnibus running
from London to Brighton dashed
down a steep hill near Crawley and
was overturned. Ten passengers
were killed and a score badly hurt,
some of them probably sustaining
fatal injuries.
There were thirty-four passengers
on the omnibus, mainly merchants
of Orphington, ten miles from Lon
don, and all were either killed or in
jured. The omnibus dashed down
the hill at terrific speed, and ran into
a tree, which was smashed to match
wood.
The occupants of the vehicle were
pitched in all directions. Several of
the killed were SO terribly mangled
that it was difficult to identify them.

AFTER ICE
st. Louis Prosecutor Sues Alleged
Trust For S142, 500.

st. Louis.-After. an investigation
of three weeks, Circuit Attorney
Sager filed suits in the Circuit Court
against the Polar Wave Ice and Fuel
Company and the Merchants Ice and
Coal Company, on the allegation that
these companies are in an alleged
combination to restrain trade and to
fix and maintain the price of ice.
The suit asks that judgment for
S71,400 be assessed against each
company as fines for the TIA days
that the alleged agreement has been
In effect, and further asks that the
charters under which the companies
have been doing business be declared
null and void.

Pretoria, South Africa.-It is

LADY CURzON DIES SUDDENLY
She Was Mary Letter, of Chicago,
Before Marriage.
Lord Curzon Became Viceroy of In
dia-She Brought Fortune
and Fame to Him.

She entirely recovered from
the serious crisis she passed through
at Walmer Castle, Kent, in 1904,
and the hot weather brought on a
pronounced attack of general debil-
ity. The immediate cause of death
was a weak heart.
With the death of Lady Curzon,
who was Mary Letter, of Chicago,
before her marriage, there is brought
to a premature close the story of a
rare and beautiful devotion. Since
her marriage in 1895 to George N.
Curzon, eldest son of tho Rev. AL
fred Nathaniel Holden Curzon, fourth
Baron of Scarsdale, she has made
possible not only through her wealth,
but through her own personal quail
ties of tact and charm, one of the
brilliant and useful careers Of mod
ern English politics. Her extensive
entertainments in England immedi-
ately after her marriage won for her
husband, who had only slender
means at his command, countless
friends. He was promoted rapidly
until when still a young man he was
made Viceroy of India, the most i'm
portant executive post of the colonial
system of the British Empire. She
married an Under Secretary of State
n she dies leaving a husband who
is one of the high noblemen of the
realm, full of honors and loaded
with decorations and appointments.
Mary Letter Curzon was the
daughter of Levi 2. Letter, who
amassed a fortune as a partner in
the dry goods firm of Marshall Field
& Co. She was born In Chicago, and
the first thirteen years of her life
were passed there. The family
moved to Washington, and the girls
education was carried on by govern
esses there and various masters in
European capitals. In 1883 she
made her debut in Washington So
ciety and her social career began in
the famous old mansion of Dupont
Circle, which was built by James G.
Blaine.
In 1904 on a visit to England
Lady Curzon had passed through an
illness from which it was thought at
the time she could never Gov
and it was the effects of that awful
siege that prompted her husband to
bring her home. After their return
to India Lady Curzon continued in
indifferent health. She was never
really well again and her death can
be traced to her illness of two years
ago.
Three children were born of the
marrtage-Cynthia Blanche in 1896
and Mary Irene in 1898, and a third
child in March, 1904.

A Hotbed of VIOLENCE.

The island of Sardinia is a hotbed of
violence. The "Granary of Rome" re-
sists the softening influences of civili-
zation and remains with many Of the
peculiarities which distinguished 1t In
the middle Of the last century. ''In the
country" writes traveller Of that
Tine, ''the men are clothed in goatskins,
one before and another behind, with
out breeches, shoes or stockings, and
wooden or skin cap on the head. The
women have no other habiliments than
long wooden gown and a wooden cap.
The peasants always go armed to de-
fend themselves from one another, for
they are all robbers and assassins, so
that travelling in the interior Is extreme
ly unsafe without an escort, and 1t is
even dangerous for ships to send their
people on shore for water unless they
are well armed. In short, the Sardes
are the Malays Of the Mediterranean"

A Leonard Collar.

"A leopard collar" he said, taking up
a dog collar studded with sharp spikes
three inches long. Fitting the collar on
his dog, he resumed: This piece Of
armor-for that Is what it is-illus-
trates an oddly of the Himalayas-
namely, the fondness Of the Hima-
layan leopard for dog flesh. In the
Himalayas last year | found that all
dogs wore these murderous looking
spiked collars. The explanation was
that the Himalayan leopards conducted
an unceasing dog hunt. and that in at
lacking a dog they always fell upon his
neck. This collar with It's sharp spikes
Is a great protection. 1t has saved
many dog from hungry leopard
Often In the Himalayas a dog comes
trotting home safe and sound, though
with smears of blood and yellow hairs
upon his collar spikes"
