HOTEL ST. REGIS
Stop There on Your Next Trip
to New York.
REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD DO so

There is every reason why you should
stop at the Hotel ST. Regis on your next
trip 10 New York. II you have followed
the series Of sketches appearing in this
paper for the past few weeks, you have
learned a few of these reasons But
there are many attractive features about
this most complete of hotels which can
not be conveyed TO the mind by fine
phrases or by the multiplication of
adjectives. To fully appreciate the
transcendent comforts and beauties of
Hotel ST. Regis, one must personally en-
JOY them
Perhaps you have had il in mind to
do this but have been deferred because
Of false impressions gained from read
ing certain sensational stories about the
cost Of living at the St Regis. These
reports. ridiculous as they We're mis-
leading, have doubtless kept many per
sons from making the st. Regis their
home when in New York, and thereby
robbed them of a vast amount of COM
fort and pleasure.
Many OF the limited number who once
gave credenee 10 these sensational re-
ports have long since proven their faisity
by actual eXperience-have found, as you
too viii find, that at the ST. Regis one
gets more for mis- money than anywhere
else in the world, and that considering
the excellence of service and accom-
modations, neither restaurant nor room
rates are higher than at other high-class
hotels. In fact. a large. light, well-fur-
nished room may be had for 81 a day.
or the same with bath In connection for
s. (S6 for two people,. or a parlor. bed
room. and bath for S12. AS was remarked
az the outset, there IS every reason why
you should stop at the ST. Regis on your
next trip to New York.

EARTHQUAKE IS RECORDED.
Disturbance on Pacific Coast OF
Mexico, says Weather Bureau.

A slight earthquake was recorded on
the Weather Bureau seismographs at
Washington on Wednesday afternoon, be
ginning al 2:O1:O5 o'clock
While the disturbance was Of compara-
lively small intensity, the principal phases
characteristic Of earthquake records were
sharply defined. The first preliminary
tremor had a duration OF four minutes
and fifty seconds and the duration OF
the second preliminary tremor, though
less sharply defined was about FIVE min
utes and eleven seconds.
During the relatively stronger portions
of the motion the actual amplitude Of
the vibrations Of the ground averaged
about one-tenth Of a millimeter, and con-
tinued more or less regularly for a period
of about FIVE minutes
II would appear from the records that
the origin of this disturbance was not
over 400 miles from Washington. This
would place the epicenter in the Pacific
Ocean west Of Mexico or in Northwestern
South America, or possibly within the
Western portion of the United States

THE CONFLICT OF
MORAL FORCES

The batt'ring ram Of Altruism,
Demolishes many a wall,
Exposes the enemies camp
And thus obeys a sacred call
The Triune God has once decreed-
Thy brothers keeper thou shalt be,
His own is thine and thine is his,
SO do not from thy duty flee.
The sway of autocratic rule,
Compels the socialistic groups.
And sets the hounds in church and state,
For the humble groveling troops.
In this struggle for elbow room.
The pigmes and the giants fight,
To show which should the fittest prove.
But right must triumph, and not might
Throughout this political world.
At home-no less in foreign CLINE.
The cry OF discomfort is heard,
Which cannot ring in notes that chime.
But Altruism is sure to win.
Its cause is fair, and Just and right;
Seeking TO break the slavish chain,
That fetters men OF thought and might
There's India wreathing with her yoke.
While bleeding Africa's dusky son,
Is oringing meath the monarchs rod.
And knows not when his work is done.
So peasants of proud Russian soil.
Though serfs. iliterate and crude,
Have sous-like those OF royal birth
Where lifty spirits Of manhood brood
The moral trend of Altrusm--
Unyieldng force that cannot fall
Is writing now upon the WALL
The doom Of those who soon shall wall
And thus Hayu her thrashing gets
Her Sire. Alexis IS deposcd-
a doom that comes to despot's hands
Where vassals have another choosed.
Behold inevitable wars
OF depotism and Altruism:
A mighty battle has begun.
And threatens bloody baptism.
/ II Is right arrayed against wrong.
/ The grant Of sword instead Of peace
To set AZ naught sophistic muse.
rntn our sight for right increase.
l True ethics find their force in right.
I,eavens and permeates the whole,
Ana lifts the helpless from their doom
