ro, secretary of the embassy, was
shown the dispatch in which the Tri-
buna estimated that $4,000 people
were killed, he seized his head in his
hands and exclaimed:

true? ?"
The delay in receipt of official news
at the Italian embassy is taken to
mean that the officials in Rome are
the stricken region.

Sicily today assumed staggering pro-
portions. and in place of vague ru-

FORT of cities demolished. lives lost
and property damaged to the extent

Each successive report from the
stricken region makes 1t more and
more apparent that the first stories
told of the destruction of life and
property were little, If any. exagger-
ated. Messina alone reports $4,000
victims, but il is feared that this Is
only a partial list of the dead and in

place from 500 up to several thou

Reports Are Lacking.
The city of Reggie still remains In
isolation. 1t is impossible to get word
from the stricken city and the silence
gives rise to the most fearful appre-
kension. News has come from Mes
sina eight miles north Of Reggie, but
there is no reliable estimate OF the
dead there. Vandalism Of the worst
kind has broken out and the govern
nent has been forced TO adopt the
most severe measures. Robbers and
hooters are shot on sight by the
troops. The prison at Messina coll

killed. The survivors escaped and

There are several suggestions of much value in

make church work IMPOSSIBLE; another that an
early business training means the training given

other the use to which the little plot of earth at

liable dealer varieties that rated both early and

plant the climbing cucumber and pole varieties of

of these he can plant dwarf okre, leaving space
between for thorough cultivation, which means
frequent and deep digging about the roots, watering
and enriching when needed

The American Graces.

Of the many beautiful American women VINO
have graced the English Court, none have ever
attracted as much attention as the Cation sisters
of Baltimore Richard Cation, an English gentle
man of handsome face and presence was the an
cestor of this famous quartette of American girls
He married a daughter of Charles Carroll OF Car
rollton, one of the sgners of the Declaration OF
Independence "a beautiful woman, who like ST.
Cecilia was beautiful mother of beautiful race.
Her daughters, the group of Cation sisters were
hailed in Europe as "The American GrGceS." The
most famous of the four girls Marianne, married
Robert Patterson (whose sister married Jerome
Bonaparte) and went to England accompanied by
her two sisters, Elizabeth and Louisa who created
a profound impression in London society.
After the death of Robert Patterson, his widow
married the Marquis of Wellesley, brother of Lord
Wellington then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The
lin Castle and was followed by grand ball given
for the american Vice Queen" which was fol-
lowed by many other fetes.
1t was said that the Court of George w. then
without a Queen, was regarded as less brilliant
than the Court of Dublin Castle under the rule OF
the Marquis and Marchioness of Wellesley. Her
two sisters also married in England: Louisa the
youngest married first a distinguished soldier,
Col. Sir FELTON, Bathurst Herbery secondly, one
of the handsomest men in England, who upon the
death of his father succeeded to the title of the
Duke of Leeds. Elizabeth, the second sister, mar
ried the Baron of Stafford, whose family was
among the most ancient in England.-From "Aner-

When Grandpa was
a Boy.

What jolly times the youngsters had
When grandpa was boy;
What funny games they used to play,
Yet never had toy!
Their sleds were rough, (my grandpa knows,)
But then they had deep, sure 'nough SHOWS,
Not like what on our sidewalk grows.
My grandpa had no rocking horse
His real bag;
He used to scamper through the woods,
Or in the orchard play
He didn't have to stand stock still,
And look across the window SILL
At what? The street-carts water spill!
They had no 'ectric lights, or gas
No bikes or "autos'-no
They got to town best they could
Just any way they'd go.
They'd climb a fence or leap bar,
But that fine, much finer far
Than riding in an old street car.
And when they went far off trips
They rode in four-horse stages then
(We'd call stage a tay-ho)
All full of girls and boys and men
Whoop how they dashed up hill and down,
mo matter if DER stony ground,)
Until they pulled up at town.
And then the people on the street.
Would stand right still till they moved on,
To watch the driver crack his whip,
And see him wind" his horn,
And sometimes whether rain sun
The boys and dogs behind would run
Oh my! that certainly was fun.
My grandpa fshed for real fish
Not tin ones in paiD
He used to hunt for hares and squirrels
And brought home lots of quail
All mel wonder grandpas glad
That he was long ago a lad
And had the things that he has had

Alnna For 25 Years

After lie of solitude, with not a soul allowed a remain in the house overnight for the last quarter of cen tury, Miss Margaret ham, an eccentric recluse. 90 years of age, died at her home in MuhlenAe".==s county, Ky. She was the last of four sisters, all of whom had taken VOW never to marry. Their parents died when they were very young, the oldest being but sixteen years of age, since which time they oc. cupied the old mansion of the family, with never a man even to care for the horses. One by one the sisters died, until only Margaret was left, and she survived for more than twenty years. When the inirmities of age became too heavy, relatives in the ne;ghborhood supplied her needs, but she refused to allow even cousin to remain over night under her roof.-Louisville Dis patch to the New York Herald.
