E Earthquake.

Washington, Jan.-Kingston, the capital of the island of Jamaica. has been devastated by a violent earth. quake.
 Details of the disaster are lacking, as direct communication with the stricken city has been cut off. The land lines had been reconstructed to within five miles of Kingston Tues day evening, and from meager reports received through such channels as were open, it has been learned that many of the most important buildings have been destroyed and there has been serious loss of life.
 So far as the reports indicate, the fatalities number less than 100, though the hospitals are filled with injured and the list of victims may be materi- ally increased.
 Kingston and the other points of interest of the island are at this sea son of the year thronged with tour ists from both America and England, and the greatest apprehension is felt for the safety of many persons who had recently arrived at the Jamaican resorts.

French President's "DoubIe.v

M. Fallieres was, until recently, be- lieved to be the only president of ths French republic who had no double. but his counterpart has been found. The man who most resembles him physically Is a respectable merchant of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays his part with decorum and dignity. He wears exactly the same kind of blue butterfly necktie with white dots as the president, the same kind of hat and exactly so oddly cut beard. And on his promenades he is always ac. companied by frend who could eas. fly be taken for the presidents pri- vate secretary. Dignified and with measured steps, the enviable double walks through the Faubourg Saint Honore and feels overjoyed at beins saiuted on all sides.

American ldeaIism.

Since my first arrival in America have held that the real spirit is ideal istic and that the average individual American Is controlled by idealistio impulses. Those who may contradict me can not have sounded the depths of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson, or studied the life and read the speeches of Abraham Lincoln. and considered their far-reaching effect on the American people. In Lincolns great character nothing can be more striking than the way in which he combined reality and the loftiest ideal. with thoroughly practical capacity to achieve that ideal by practical methods. This faculty seemed to give him far-sighted, almost superhuman vision which enabled him to pierce the clouds obscuring the sight of the keenest statesmen and thinkers of his age-Baron Speck von Sternburg.

THE FIRST TWINGE
Of Rheumatism Calls for Dr. Willian., Pink Pills If You Would Be
 Easily Cured.

MT. Frank Little, well known cit,. zen of Portland, Ionia Co, Mich. wa. cured of a severe case of rheumatisr by Dr. Williams Pink Pills. In speat. ing about it recently, he said. "M, body was run down and in no condL ton to withstand disease and ahou, five years ago l began to feel rhen. matic pains in my arms and acros. my back. My arms and legs graz numb and the rheumatism seemed to settle in every joint so that I cou,a hardly move, while my arms wera useless at times. was unable to sleep or rest well and my heart main. ed me so terribly could hardly stand it. My stomach became sour ana bloated after eating and this srev so bad that had inflammation of the stomach. I was extremely nerv. ous and could not bear the least noise or excitement One whole s,ds of my body became paralyzed.
 "As I said before, had been sun. ering about five years and seemed to be able to get no relief from my doctors, when friend here in Port. land told me how Dr. Williams Pink Pills had cured him of neuralgia in the face, even after the pain had drawn it to one side. I decided to try the pills and began to see soma improvement soon after using them. This encouraged me to keep on until I was entirely cured. I have never had a return of the rheumatism or of the paralysis.
 The pills are for sale by all drug. gists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $250, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady. N. Y.

WOMEN TO THEIR RESCUE.
Australian Politics Reformed by the
 Work of the Fair Sex.

A Queensland man told me that he doubted if in his part of the coun- try they could have achieved much If it had not been for the women, says a writer in Everybody's Magazine. Every avenue of employment was ab- solutely in the hands of the in- trenehed governing classes and every ma2 .hst a1itated for election re- form was not only discharged but blacklisted and boycotted. He found it impossible then to obtain employ ment anywhere; no man dared to hire him.
 George Ryland was blacklistcd for five years. They would not let him blow nor chop wood nor drive horses. Ii looked like a hopeless fight against a power so great and so arbitrary. Often the men were discouraged, but the women, never; they had more pluck than the men. The savage in- justice had stirred their utmost re- sentiment; one and all they urged their husbands to keep on and never to yield. In many cases wives as- stunned the burden of supporting the family. Some turned dressmakers and some cooks.
 One family that know lived four years on weekly income of between $3 and $4 earned with her needle by the wife and mother. The husband tramped Queenstown looking in vain for work. With such spirit among the women the situation could not long continue. A body of voters grew up not of the labor element but painfully convinced that existing conditions were wrong. These united with the few labor men that had the franchise, the "better" element was outvoted and overturned, the suf- frage was reformed, the labor party swept into possession of the Queens land state government and holds the government to-day.
