Women Who Write at Home.

About one woman in 100 keeps up
her music after marriage, although
they may have passed years Of their
own time and spent many dollars be-
longing to their fathers in study. The
number that drops off in art is even
greater, but writing has a fascination
difficult to resist. A great deal of the
writing done by women comes from
homes, more or less comfortable and
happy. Much of it is the kind not
easily duplicated and it would be nom
sense to compel such women to forget
their talents. Many a son has been
fitted for his life work by the ability
of his mother to earn money at a
steady rate.

Hollands Queen pomineerina.

Hollands queen, Wilhelmina, has ex,
alted notions of her royal authority.
She is said to interfere in a most per.
sonal way with the conduct of Dutch
foreign relations. She looks upon the
Dutch colonies as, in some sort, the
private appanages of the house of
Orange. Her prodigious personal pop
ularity with every class of her sub
jects saves her from some of the con.
sequences of her unconstitutional ten.

Mount MeKlnIex,s plffioultIss.

In mountain climbing the world
over the climber usually arrives fresh
and unfatigued at the base OF the
peak he wishes to storm, and as rule
begins his ascent at high altitude
On Mount Mckinley, as described by
a writer in Outing, it is the opposite.
There are 20 miles of rugged foothills
and glaciers to be crossed-with
heavy packs-before the base OF the
mountain is reached, and then the
climber is confronted by $4,000 feet OF
rock and ice.

The occasion will be a thrccrdollar

The only "fy In the ointment" at

and the Texas statesman and the New

ANOTHER BIG EARTHQUAKE.
City of Kingston, Jamaica, Devas-
tated and Ruins Are on Fire.

Santiago, Cuba, Jan. 15.-Reports
have been received here that Kings
ton, Jamaica, was visited by a terri
bic earthquake yesterday afternoon
at 4 O'Clock. There was a great de-
tsruction OF property and loss of life
and Kingston is now on fire.
One hundred persons are dead nj
least 600 more have been wounded
more OF less seriously and property
loss estimated at $4,000, 600 wrought
by a terrible earthquake which visit
ed the city of Kingston and the
southern coast of Jamaica late Mon
day afternoon.
Fire followed the wreck,ng of the
city, as was the case in the SaI
Francisco disaster, and at latest &C
counts this was not yet under con-
troll.
Direct communication with Kings
ton was cut off when the earthquake
snapped the cables to America. Tenn
porary land lines have been estab-
lished, however, commencing with
other cable lines, through which
sources meager details of the disas-
ter are being received.
The hospitals that remain standing
ar choked with injured; dead lie in
all portions of the city and some of
the bodies were burned up by the
flames which swept over the place.
Jamaica, being a great winter re-
sort, with the city of Kingston the
main point of interest, attracted
hundreds of pleasure seekers to its
shores and alarm is felt all over
| America for persons from this coun-
try who are near the scene of the
| seismic disturbance.
The latest dispatches indicate how
