MEXICAN CITIES LEVELED
BY SERIES OF SHOCKS

Chilpancingo, Mexico, April 49,
This city has been completely des-
troyed by an earthquake. The known
dead number eleven and the badly in.
jured twentyseven. The greatest panic
prevails and people are fleeing to the
open country. The earth continues to
rock at intervals and many minor
shocks are completing the work of
destruction begun by the first earth
quake. Word has reached here that
the town of Chilapa, to the northeast
ward, has also been destroyed. The
population of Chilpancingo is 7,4IS.
and that of Chilapa is $4,000. It is
also feared that Tixtla has been des-
troyed.
All communications with the west
coast has been cut off since the move
ment of the first big shock and it is
not known to what extent that region
suffered Both the volcanoes of Coli
ma and Joruilo are in this region.
The earthquake. it is feared may cause
these mountains to become more active
and to destroy much property and
many lives.
Reports Not Fully Credited.
Mexico City, April 16-The federal
telegraph Office here has informed the
Associated p ess that the earthquake
has interfered with the working of the
wires in all parts of the republic
south of line drawn from Acapulco
on the west coast to Tampico on the
Gulf coast From messages received
at the telegraph Office it appears that
the entire south half of the republic,
including the lower country and the
Mesaba belt, felt the shock.
The National Bank Of Mexico has
received telegram saying that 500
lives we're lost at the destruction of
Chilapa and Chilpancingo. In gov.
eminent circles the report is not cred
tied. It is admitted that both cities
we're leveled to the ground, but it is
not thought that the death list will
even approximate 500 owing to the
fact that the houses we're built to re-
sist earthquake shocks. Both cities are
so isolated that it is impossible to OBJ
tain accurate and rapid intelligence
of the disaster.

Croakers are forever saying that the average Amer
can boy with nothing but his hands, his brains and
his pluck no longer has chance.
Gone so the croakers lament are the good old DAYS
when merit with ''Excesior on its banner could press
upward to the heights.
Somehow the path to is supposed be fenced
up at its starting point and all that the poor youth
OF today expected by the croakers do sit down out
side the fence and bewa his sad fate all his days
Isn't it strange them that when conspicuous man
dies and the story of his life comes out it is still so often
found that no silver spoon in his mouth at birth?
Alex j. Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania and as
such guardian of billion of property and employer of
100000 men, who died the other day found his first en-
poyment rodman.
The first lesson he learned in real life was to work He
knew what it meant to drag the chain through brush and
over the hillside Then step by step, he worked upward
his only advantages being superior capacity and deter
mlnaon to do particular tasks better than others
Cassatts successor is JAS Mc(}rer. What was his
start Also rodman.
Hundreds of men born with wealth and whatever adj
vanages wealth gives have competed with Cassatt and
McCrea for this high position and been distanced.
The beaten paths to may be fenced against the
boy without capital but there always ways lots
and the hills
He whose ideals stars swung high in the heaven
needs no beaten path to guide him.
He who has learned to labor and whose heart thrills
with aspiration and resolve has the best capital there is
and the best chance.
The silver spoon in the mouth at birth is greatly
rated as factor either for failure.
There lots of rich young men whom wealth has not
deadened.
And lots of poor whom it would not have helped

NO NIGHT WORK FOR WOMEN.

In New York State the Commercial league is seeking
a law restraining employers from hiring for ght
work in factories AS to the health and morals
of who forced to work for their livelihood
the league wants law prohibiting them from working
nights Yet there has been great deal of opposition to
the law the supreme court of New York declaring it
constitutional and the league is anxious to have the
ter taken up to the court Of appeals
Night work is mquestionably less healthfu than day
work. Without doubt less able to stand the
strain of night work than On account of made
quate transportation facilities of late night and early
morning it is dangerous for to be about nights
Alone at ght they subject to insult and to unheat
full moral Influences Most Of these workers are
immature, probably half Of them under age
This protective movement for women is Of the
many that has met with much opposition Why there
should be single voice raised in protest against any
movement for the welfare of women is mystery.
However, night work for will day be
abolished The Commercial League of New York should
be highly praised for doing all it

Plus has abolished the custom OF
his predecessors of permitting
those admitted to audience to kiss
the pope's foot. Those interviewing
him are invited to sit beside him,
and If one becomes overpowered
by the presence of his holiness, as
sometimes happens, Plus speaks
kindly, saying: Consider me as
your father or grandfather"
When the audiences are ended,
Monsignor Bisliti, the major domo
of the pope's household, presents to
Plus list of those who request per-
mission to enter into his presence
simply to see him and ask a bless
ing The pope approves of the list
and the applicants are admitted.
Then follows another garden walk
and at 1 O'Clock lunch is served,
consisting of soup, roast meat, lem
ills. which are the pope's favorite
vegetables. some fruit, cheese and
coffee. After lunch the pope invar-
iably smokes Turkish cigarettes. To
a friend who TESTED about Plus lik-
ing for Turkish tobacco, his holt
ness replied, Eyes, that is the only
thing am resigned to accept from
infidel Turkey, but you notice l dis
miss it in smoke"
After dinner the pope takes his
cigarette case and his snuff box and
goes into his study. where he reads
theological works and Catholic
magazines and perfects his knowl-
edge of French and English.
At sunset comes supper of two
eggs, outlet and a salad and some
wine. The pope is very partial to
wine, which is his only extrava-
gance. He refuses to drink any but
the best, his favOrite brand being
Barolom, the famous Piedmont
vintage.
After supper there is further
study, then a visit to the chapel,
and at 10 o'clock the pope goes to
bed.
All the pope's surroundings are
simple. His private rooms are
plainly furnished. His bed is but
a wooden plank with mattress on
it. His china dinner service is not
worth $40. only his wine is costly,
and this is not paid for by him, as
his former parishioners in Pied
mont serd him large quantities of
Barola as presents.

POPE Plus LIVES THE SIMPLE Life

panied by his secretaries, Monsig-
nor Bressau and Monsigor Per
cini, he enters his private chapel
and spends about 20 minutes cele,
brating mass. Sometimes his two
aged sisters attend the morning
mass. Then his holiness takes his
breakfast of coffee and milk.
After breakfast Plus walks for
an hour in the vatican garden. and
then dictates his correspondence
and attends to the most urgent
business of the day. All the chief
newspapers are read to him, and
he jests and comments on the
news.
At 10 o'clock his official audi
ences begin and last until noon.
