peared in the meagre list OF dead and in
tured as sent to this city.

miraculous escapes from death in this
earthquake, or perhaps in any other one,
came from Santa Julia today where Sale
siano college for children is located When
the big shock. came Sunday over 100 chill

heavier than at first supposed. Numerous
buildings were badly shaken

Cologne Gazette SAYS he is Trying to
Break Triple Alliance.
GOVERNMENT DENIES RESPONSIBILITY
Foreign ffioo 7ub cation Does Not Repre-.
sent Opinion of Ministry.
FRENCH VIEW OF THE SITUATION
Belief at Paris that Coming Confer-
ence WIN Have Good Eject on
international Relations
In Europe.

BERLIN, April 17A-I6ng Edwards ap-
preaching meeting with King Victor EN-
manuel at Gaeta is attracting much at
tention in the German press, which COM
ments on the event as being an EFFORT to
Isolate Germany and win Italy away from
the triple alliance. An article in the Co
logne Gazette in this sense is being widely
discussed because II is believed to have
been inspired from Berlin The writer says
public opinion in Germany secs in King
Edwards course an attempt to disturb the
European equilibrium, which is calculated
to awaken misgivings regarding his dis
armament proposal, and finally warns
Great Britain that "war with Germany
would be dangerous for any opponent OF
any coalition Of opponents" This sharp
language is interpreted by the TaRliche
Rundschau meaning that the German
government has grown weary Of the Eng.
lish game Of hide and seek and the comedy
Of peace and disarmament"
At the Foreign office. when attention was
called to the Cologne Gazette's article, IL
was stated that it expressed only the ed
itorial opinion Of the paper; that the Ger
man government was in no way responsible
for such views and that the government
officials would have taken steps to prevent
their publication II they had been known
in advance. The Foreign office does not
see any reason for dlsQuiet In connection
with the meeting of the kings OF England
and Italy, since Italy knows that Its in
dependence is better guarded by being
member of the triple alliance than n it
is thrown wholly upon Anglo French sup
port Great Britains predominant position
in the western part OF the Mediterranean
is fully recognized by Germany. which has
no interests there.
Eject of Kings Meeting.
PARIS April 1.-THE Forthcoming meet
ing of king Edward and King Edward EN-
manuel at Gaeta is viewed with the utmost
satisfaction In governmental circles here,
where the royal conference is considered
as not only likely to strengthen the cordial
relations existing between Italy and Great
Britain, but as binding closer the ties be-
tween those two countries and France. and
as exerting bood effect on the European
situation.
Politicians Gather.
ROME, Aprf 1I,-The marquis Of San
Giuliano. the Italian ambassador to Great
Britain. has arrived at Naples ready to
proceed to Gaeta II summoned to take part
in the coming conference between King
Edward and King Victor Emmanuel This
fact, added to the presence Of Foreign
Minister Tittoni at Naples, strengthens the
View that the meeting Of the two kings
will have considerable political Importance
and that they will confer on important
international questions, mainly the pro-
posed discussion of the question of the
limitation Of armaments at the approaching
peace conference at The Hague.

TRIMMING FOR THE JUMPER.
White Lace and Light Embroideries
CunningIy Used.

Many of the new cloth frOcks de-
signed with jumper bodices show a
tendency to introduce about the neck
and shoulders a trimming much dark
err than the tone of the dress material,
but this is combined with quantities
iof white lace and light embroideries
which, of course, are admirably set
off by the dark background of braid
of silk bands There is no embellish-
ment, no matter how elegant, where
buttons do not fit in nicely, and many
of the most successful decorative
schemes owe much of their merit to
the introduction of various little nov
elites in the way of buttons.
Nothing is more effective upon a
dark brown or black dress than a
touch of yellow, and good way to in
troduce a little vivid coloring into the
fashionable jumper blouse is to make
a little shield for the front, starting
at nothing on each side and gradually
broaden out until the greatest width
is in the exact center. The sleeve car
ries out the same idea by the intro
duction of a little colored embroidery
in the seam just at the wrist, the en-
broidery being carried round the
wrist.

PROCESS KEEPS GARMENTS IN
FRESHNESS.
Fatal Mistake to Allow Lines and
Wrinkles TO ShoW--Proper Way
to Clean and Press Skirts
Wash Frocks.

A clever girl with more taste than
money always puts away her ribbons
and laces to rest This is not so much
to freshen them, though they are inn
proved by it, as to have something
which is apparently new to her friends
when she rewears them after their
rest cure"
Nothing induces shabbiness in coats
and gowns more than the lines and
wrinkles which show that they have
been worn and reworn. Walking
creases make garment old before it
has done it duty.
Men know this better than women
and this is why man is well dressed
with small wardrobe, because every
week or so he makes a change of
suits, sends the suit he has been wear
ing to the tailor and never by any
chance allows a wrinkle to become
fixed in his garments.
Here is plan that has been tried
with success for cleaning and pressing
skirts: Brush them first, then whisk
off with clean brush dampened in
ammonia and warm water. Any stain
can be removed if rubbed out at once
with a mixture of equal parts of am
monia, alcohol and water.
