TRE SITUATION CLEARING

New Haven has been prompt ana generous in response to the cry of the needy that comes from San Francisco She is giving freely, and will continue to give as long as the need lasts. The whole country is acting in the same spirit and so far as the sufferers can be cheered by sympathy and help they will be. The situation is rapidly clear ing up, and all that can be known about it will be known soon. It is good to know already that lack of food will not be added to the horrors that have been heaped up. There appears to be water enough for absolute needs, and there will be more soon. Hope has come back to those who at first felt that the end of the world had come to them, and the work of rebuilding will soon begin. General Funston and those who are working with him are evidently the right men in the right places, and all is going as well as possible.
 Give as much and as quickly as you can, and do not hand any contribu- tions to swindling strangers.

4 pERTfNE ENT POINT.

The New York Evening Post makes a
 pertinent point when it says that if 1t is ever feasible for man to look into the
 future it ought to have been possible to see this San Francisco. earthquake com
 ing. It was surely big enough for the
 attention of the busiest astrologers,
 crystaI-gazers or any other fortune
 tellers. Furthermore, it must have
 been long in actual physical prepara~ tion underground The Post adds: We Ihave already seen among our exchanges several statements of seers regarding calamities shortly to overtake other cities of this country. Why did not the same men come into print with warn ings about last Wednesday,? The lat

 Science of Astrology and it's coincident philosophy" It is dated April 2, 1906 just two weeks ago to-day, yet it does not contain single word that can be tortured into an allusion to seismic dis turbances on the Pacific coast. Here
 are five large nimeugraphed pages about a controversy between the Ex- ponent'' and visiting evangelist. Two lines about the earthquake would have done the cause of astrology more good than thousand pages of this kind We have no doubt that some hundreds of
 persons are already claiming to have
 made such prophecy. but why they invariably wait until the morning after to put their prognostications in shape for verification is one of the unex- plained things about the mystic tenn perament.
 As there are always calamities, and
 always calamity howlers, it is not strange that some predictions" appar-
 ently come true, But 1t certainly is
 significant that none of the seers fore saw the earthquake,

AN INTERPRETING RAILRoAD.

All railroads are interesting, but some of the African railroads are especially
 so. The opening of the new railroad
 line from Abu Hamid to Karima, in
 the Sudan, will give great satisfaction
 not only to merchants, who will thus have access to the markets of Dongola,
 but also to tourists and antiquaries. It has been built, entirely with native la
 DOT, in eight months, under the direc- ton of Macauley Bey and Midwinter Bey. This, for 13S miles of railroad, is almost a record, for the district is hilly and difficult for engineering. The ter minal station, Karima, is not down on any published map, but the line almost reaches Dongola, The interesting pyra-

STUCK IN A MONTANA BLIZZARD.
 Ike Boyer of Helena left yesterday morning for Madison County points, and while waiting in Butte, the night before, told some interesting tales of his experience while making the terri tory in southern Montana, which is not yet covered by the railroad.
 The time of my life,' he said, YVES experienced between Bannack and Argenta. was making the trip, by stage, and my driver was one of the old time stage drivers of the overland road. The only name eyer knew for him was Shorty, and he was one of the ever pulled the ribbons over team of horses it Montana
 Shorty after we left Argent 1t began showing but we paid little attention to the storm, being wrapped up comfort ably. When we topped the hill, and started across the foothills to connect with the old Bannack road, we ran into the teeth of the blizzard. The ther- mometer began dropping rapidly, and almost before we knew 1t we found ourselves chilling fast. To add to our trouble the air become so filled with snow that we could not see the length of our sled of us. The storm came so fast and fierce that the horses refused to face 1t, and before we realized it, we were off the road and the horses were helplessly foundering through the snow which seemed almost hottomless By this time, darkness had come and we were off the tran.
 ITO make the matter worse, the hors- es In floundering, broke the tongue from the sled, and we were hoied up for good. Then we saw that we were in for it for the night, and prepared to make the best of bad bargain. There was a little straw in the bottom of the sled, and we tied tho horses up so they could eat this. The driver and myself walked back and forth about 2 rod apart all night long. and in this man. ner managed to keep warm. We drank up all the samples I had, with me, smaked several boxes, of sample cigars, and it seemed as if the night would never come to an end.

HoK TO hnCCELD.

There are as many ways to succeed in life as there are to get cured of deadly diseases. One of the latest dis
 coveries in the art of success is to be-
 gin life as a newsboy. MT. Rudolph Heig, superintendent of the Newsboys'
 Lodging House in New York, took hap hazard a list of one thousand boys who used the lodging house some twenty wears ago, and has traced their subse-
 quent careers. One has been elected
 governor of a state, one Is governor of Ia territory, two are members of Con- lgress, two sheriffs, two district attor- Ineys, one is a city attorney, four are
 members of State legislatures, three county commissioners, one judge, twen- ty-seven bankers, twenty-two mer-
 chants, one civil engineer, 46O clerks, thirty-four lawyers, seventeen physi- clans, eight postmasters, three railroad officials in high office, thirty-six rail-
 road men, ten estate agents, fifteen
 journalists, eighty-two teachers, four high school principals, one superintend- ient and twenty-one clergymen,
 Perhaps this isn't at all surprising, A newsboy early acquires a knowledge
 of human nature and gets his wits sharpened in many ways. If he can ,get out of selling newspapers without learning to be too smart there are good reasons why he should succeed.
