The Legend of Lady Godiva.

Lady Godiva, who tlourished about
the middle or the eleventh century,
was the wife of Leofry, Earl of Chester.
She was a woman of great beauty and
piety and the benefactress of many
churches and inconsistencies. According
to the legend, Lady Godiva begged her
husband to relieve Coventry of bur
densome tax, and he consented to do so
on the condition that she should ride
naked through the market place. This
she did, covered only by her long hair,
and thus Won relief for the people.
According to some versions of the
story, the people We're commanded to
keep within their houses while Lady
Godiva passed, and only one man,
'.Peeping Tom" disobeyed, and he was
miraculously stricken with blindness

 From messages received here up to noon it appears that the entire south ern half of the republic, including the lower country and the mesa" belt felt ths shock of last night.
 Messages from as far north as San Luis Potosi and as lar south as the city of San Juan Buatista in the state of Tabasco reports that the shock was felt in varying degrees. But at no place up to date has a loss of life or great destruction of property been re- ported except in the state of Guerrero. From these reports it would seem that the last earth tremble was greater in extent than any that has preceded it during the last half century. The boundary line of the northern zone of the present earthquake shock, accord ing to reports received up to this time, show it extended across the country in a northwesterly direction for distance of over 400 miles, and that the southern extent of the shock covered a distance of over 600 miles, making in all 24000 square miles of territory affected by the last shock
 Both the volcanos of Colima and Jo- rulla are in this region and the people fear that, the recent eruption of the earth may cause these mountains to be- come more active and destroy much property and many lives. The first named volcano is in the state of Coli ma. along the coast to the northwest of this city. Jorullo is much nearer and is located almost due north in the state of Michoacan. The inhabitants ot this region are known as "pintos" be- cause of the "spots" in their faces. They are noted for their hardy war like spiritt and for thteir stoicism and fanatticism, but the recent catastrophe seems ito have completely unnerved them as they have up to date lost all discretion. The city is located 97 kilo- meters from the nearest railroad line and It will be impossible for the people to flee except on foot or on horseback This fact caused a considerable amount of anxiety because the state is inhabit- ed by great number of Americans who are engaged in prospecting for mines. The nearest railroad terminal is at Iguala, which is across the river Rio Balsas and 97 kilometers to the northward of Chilpancingo. The total distance between Chilpancngo and F'exico is 335 kilometers.

PRESIDENT WITH HUGHES.
Significant Statement Given Out by
 Henry ". Taft.


 Henry w. Taft.
 Washington, April 15-Any lingering doubt that may exist in the minds of certain politicians in New York State that President Roosevelt is not en- listed for the war with Governor Hughes to carry out the latter's pro- gramme, as outlined in his message to the Legislature, should be dispelled by an incident at the White House to-day. Henry w. Taft of New York city, a brother of the secretary of war, called to see President Roosevelt this morn ing, and had talk of some length What the two men talked about, and what Mr Roosevelt said to MT Taft, is accurately reflected in what Mr .-sTaft said to your correspondent, as he left the Presidents private office. Mr. Taft, with lawyer-lflke caution, wrote down what he had tol say.
 Public opinion approves the main features of Governor Hughes policies. The republican party in the state of New York stands for the policies of Is'resident Roosevelt, an4d the president supports Governor Helghes, because they work on similar zines and have the same purposes. Somne of the lead CTS of the republican org, anization seem to be put in the attitudes of opposition to Governor Hughes Thixs cannot con- tinue, if the state is to bta kept in the republican ranks, and I believe that what must be found is SC pme way by which Governor Hughes mi ay be given
