ANTHONY HOPES NEW STORY
"Sophy of Kravonia," Said to Be
More Thrilling than "The Pris-
oner of Zenda,"

Good news for lovers of stirring
romance! Anthony Hope has wrr "a
new story in the styla of "l-he
Prisoner of Zenda," and even sur
passing it in interest 1t is called
'Sophy of Kravonia" and is to appear
exclusively in The Sunday Magazine
of the Chicago Record Herald, begin
ming April 22.
The mysterious country of Krav-
onia lies in the same romantic region
of southern Europe as Zenda, but the
new story has no connection with
that of the famous Rudolph Rassen-
dyl. It's central figure is still more
interesting person. courageous and
beautiful heroine, who rises iron
lowly life to the throne. Sophy de
Gruche is her name, and she loves the
brave but unfortunate Prince Sergius
as she proves in series of the most
exciting events in modern fiction. Her
trials and triumphs are due to the ex-
istence of two factions in the court.
One is loyal to the true heir apparent,
Prince Sergius, and the others seek
to place upon the throne the little son
of Countess Ellenburg, the kings
morganatic wife. The conspiracy
leads to many dramatic scenes, one
of the most thrilling being that in
which the old king discovers the
guilt of the countess and drops dead
at moment when things are in a !
perilous condition for Sergius and
his bride. How Sophy comes out of
this turmoil of intrigue. battle, tears
and JOY. Anthony Hope reveals in
his own inimitable style.
The first installment of "Sophy of |
Kravonia" will appear April %. OnI
account of the great demand for this
fascinating story it viii be wise to or

Herald well in advance

Plymouth Girls are Safe.

Mrs. Peter Kruger received letter
sunday from her sister, Miss Kate
Shoner, written at 13o p. m. seven
hours after the earthquake in Santa
Rosa, conveying the welcome news
hat both she and Miss Theresa Kruy-
er were safe, but expected to start
home soon.
They were sleeping in one story
frame house and it was not shaken
down. The windows were broken, all
Of the furniture was misplaced and
the chimney was shaken down, but
the house did not fall and nobody in
it was hurt.
Before going to bed Tuesday even
ing Miss Shoner had written long
letter to her sister, describing Santa
Rosa, the city of roses, as one of the
prettiest cities in the world, and the
most desirable place for home that
she ever saw When she was shaken
out of bed Wednesday morning she
changed her mind, but she put both
letters in the one envelope and mail
ed it Wednesday afternoon.
She described the change made in a
few minutes as wonderful. Not brick
building was left standing in the city
and the earthquake. being followed by
FIRE and hundreds of dead or wound
ed people being carried out of the
wrecked buildings made scene that
the girls will never forget, and it is
not strange that they wanted to star,
home as soon as possible

San Francisco's Calamity.

The catastrophe which has fallen
upon the beautiful and hourishing
city of San Francisco will awaken
sympathy all over the world.
Coming close upon the heels of
the eruption of Vesuvius on the op-
posite side of the earth, the San
Francisco earthquake shows that
mighty forces have been aroused to
unwonted activity within the earth.
Whether now they have temporarily
exhausted themselves, or will lash
themselves into greater fury, no man
can tell; for science, with all its
boasted progress, knows absolutely
nothing of what goes on underneath
the shell of cool rocks upon the sur
face of which we live
But no greater disaster should be
required TO sober mems thoughts at
this manifestation of the terrible inn
mpesity of natures power, nor to
make us realize, as we never do in
times of peace when heaven smiles,
how puny we are in comparison with
her.
1t is safe to say that, in the midst
of sudden death, every San Francis
can, however deeply absorbed he
may have been in his personal inter
ests the moment before earth gave
its first awful shudder, forgot them
instantly and found mis- mind fixed
upon him who holds the universe in
the hollow of his hand, upon him to
whom one day is as thousand years
and thousand years as one day.
And when the fear passed and
men found themselves sitting DESC
late amid the ruins, who could have
confined his thoughts to his own sor-
row? Who did not see himself mer-
ged, as it were, in the whole race Of
men, eager to feed the hungry, clothe
the naked and bind up the wounds
OF those who suffered? What then
were our petty ambitions, our con-
temptible jealorsies, our envy, hat
red, malice and all uncharitablencss
Gone, all gone; disappeared, fused
in. the universal pity, sympathy, love.
And SO, at the news of the catas-
trophe, pity, sympathy and love rise
Simultaneous IN the breasts of All
men, though We ourselves escaped.
and once more mankind realizes and
surrenders TO its brotherhood Hard
of heart and cynical as we may seem
at most times, one touci, of nature
makes the whole world kir.-Chic:SSc

Sees a Glorious City.

(. o. Mccormick, assistant traffic
manager of the Hartman lines, takes
an optomistic view of the San Fran
cisco disaster, believing that new
city will be constructed, more glor
ious than the one that has been de-
stroyed. He was for years a resident
of the city, and served on the COM
mittee of which former Mayor James
d. Phelan was chairman, that per-
fected the old plans for beautifying
San Francisco. Mr.. Phelan is the
man who has given $1,oO0,00o to the
relief fund, and his views as to re-
building the city with well-anchored
steel structures are said to coincide
with those of Mr.. Mccormick.
IF it were not for the fact of the
earthquake" declared Mr.. McCor-
mick the San Francisco disaster
would not, in my Judgment, be such
crushing blow, leaving out of con-
sideration, of course, the loss of life,
the injuries to people and the suffer
| ing they will endure. The earth
quake. like the fire, and also like the
great Chicago fire, is likely to occur
again. So is any disaster which has
overtaken a population in the past.
But the people of San Francisco
know that with city built as are the
newer portions of the business dis
trict of Chicago an earthquake like
| the one they suffered would not have
| a very damaging effect"

MAKES THE WORLD AKIN.
Like Touch of Nature" Destitution
Brings People Together.

Next to viewing the many square
miles OF ruins that once made San
Francisco a city no better realization
OF the ruins that has come to this
place. can be gained than by visiting
the refugee camps located in the dis
tricts which were untouched by the
flames. Golden Gate park is the Mec-.
ca of the destitute. This great play
ground of the municipality has been
converted into vast mushroom city
that bears striking resemblance to the
fleeing towns located on the border
CT a government reservation about
to De opened to public settlement.
The common destitution and suffer
ing have wiped out all social, financial
and racial distinctions. The man who
last Tuesday was prosperous mer-
chant is occupying with his family
a little plot OF ground that adjoins
the open-air home OF .laborer. The
white man of California has forgotten
has forgotten his antipathy to the As
iatic race and maintains friendly re-
lations with his new Chinese and Jap
anese neighbors. The society belle
who Tuesday night was a butterfly
OF fashion at he grand opera per-
form ance is now assisting some fac
tory girl in the preparation of humble
daily meals.
Money has little value. The fam
lily who has foresight to lay in the
largest stock of foodsruffs on the first
days ct disaster is rated highest in
the scale of wealth A few of the
families who could secure willing ex-
pressmen are possessors of cooking
stoves, but over ninety-five out of loo
of the refugees are doing their cook
ing on little camp fires made of brick
or stone. Kitchen utensils that last
week would have been regarded with
contempt are today articles of high
value. A well known young lady of
social position when asked where she
had spent the night, replied: "On al
grave"

A News Service Without Parallel.

There is ample justification for the
claim made by The Chicago Record
Herald that its readers enjoy every
day in the week, Sunday included, a
news service that is without parallel
in. range and Completeness. In addi-
tion tothe independent news facilities
of The Record-Herald, that paper re-
ceives the complete news service of
the New FORK Herald, the New York
World and the Associated Press, and
when it is considered that its news
columns are supplemented by all the
special features SO popular with its
thousands of readers, it will be seen
that The Record Herald holds a
unique place among the great news
papers of the United States.

Angel of Charity Abroad.

Never in the history OF the United
States--probably in the history of the
world-has there been such instant
and generous, overnowing response
to the cry for help as that which has
followed the cry from the Pacific
coast. Contributions of individuals
have reached unprecedented sums
Ex-Mayor Phelan, now of Los An
geles, once of San Francisco, stands
out unique in this great heartedness
by giving s1,OOo,0oO, although he lost
several millions by the earthquake
and fire.

Geologists in their theories as to
the cause of earthquakes, differ in de-
tail, yet they are rather near in gener-
al consideration. Several possible
causes have been figured upon, how
ever, and the most important of these
is "faulting," the term which is tech
nically given for the slipping of
blocks of the earths crust to lower
level. These men, who have made .
study of the subject, are as rule firm
in DENYING any relation between the
earthquake and the seismatic troubles
in Italy On the other hand, Prof.
Cox, of the United States weather
department, is sure that the qu,kes
were due to Vesuvius Thus it is evil
dent that students of geological and
kindred subject are widely divurgent
as to thess views.

A Chicago doctor sys that for the
last fifteen years he has used eggs TO
cure felon and has yet to see a case
it will not cure. The way to apply
the egg is as follows: Take fresh
egg and crack the shell at the larger
end. Make a hole just large enough
to admit the thumb or finger, which
ever it may be, and force it into the
egg as far as possible without rup-
turing the shell. Wipe off the egg
which runs out and bind a handker-
chief or soft cloth around the finger
or thumb, leaving the egg on over
nigh. This will generally cure in one
application, but, if not, make another
application.

METsKER AGAIN sMIRcHED.
Daniel Mcdonald, Over His Own
Signature, Shows Metsker Liar.

For several days during, the past
week Metsker published articles Ill
the Independent stating that Hon
Daniel Mcdonald was one of his best
witnesses to prove his honesty AMI
truthfulness, that Mr.. Mcdonald had
come to his assistance unasked and
made statements that proved Metsker
almost a saint, and a lot more hog
wash that Mr.. Mcdonald was unable
to stand.
Consequently the old editor wrote
Metsker a letter and asked him to
publish it in his daily paper and also
in the Plymouth emocrat. Mr.. Nc
Donald says Il c. led, as you know,
to explain why l had failed to reply
to note you had written me March
20, in regard to historical sketch OF
the Democrat.
"In the general conversation that
ensued, the question of my financial
dealings with you came up and | told
you they had been satisfactory SO far
as / was concerned, that in the de-
ferred payments on the purchase OF
the Democrat, ard the payment of the
rent of the building, you had in every

my course toward you in the matter.

summoned as a witness in the case

of the case; had no conversation with
any of the parties to the suit, and
did not wish my name mentioned in
connection with it.
"Your article of Wednesday even
ing, again referring to my call upon
you, seems to drag me into con-
tention that is very distasteful to me,
and also makes it appear that | am
taking sides against J. w. Wolford,

Respectfully yours,
Daniel Mcdonald.
In one Of Metsker's editorials re-
ferred to above, Metsker says:
Hon. Daniel Mcdonald Came to the
front like a man and refused to be
made a party to the disreputable at
tempt of Wolford, O'Keefe and Mar
tindale to blacken the character of
the publisher of the Democrat 1t is
decidedly to Mr. McDonald's credit
that he has come to the front in this

them and their ambition"
