Directors of Y. N. C. A. Make
Rulings Today.

At the meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Y. M. c. A. this morning

ance were considered. 1t was decid-
ed to fix the rate for bowling at five

be allowed to bowl or any other priv
leges. At present only members OF
twenty-one years OF age are to be per-
mitted to play billiards and pool. The

j. S. GUNBRAT
WILL ARRIVE
ON MONDAY

Rome, IAN. at is believed
at Rome that a train which left
Reggie on the morning Of the
earthquake, was overwhelmed by
a tidal wave as nothing has been
heard of the train or passengers. The
king has ordered royal palaces at Cas-
erta and Naples turned into hospitals
and hundreds of the injured are al.
ready occupying them. The American
gunboat Scorpion will arrive at Mes
eign ships in transporting the refu.
gees. Statistics of the dead and the
survivors are still impossible to obtain
but from calculations based on the
populations and the estimate of the
survivors indicates that the figures
heretofore given out will not be found
to have been exaggerations. There
are large numbers dying daily from
hunger and exposure. This will prob
ably swell the final total. The actual
property loss is now estimated at 8
billion dollars including some foul
thousand ships Of all descriptions.
SemoiA Skill Alive.
A report from Catania says that the
rescuers at Messina today discovered
Marquis Semola still alive in the eel
lar Of his ruined castle. He is impris
oned by tons Of debris which maj
crash upon him before he can b
reached. The Marquis has plenty o.
food and shouts to the rescuers t
save those in greater peril. The dis
covery that he Is alive has awakened
hope that there may be still man!
others alive in the ruins and effort!
of the rescuers are being redoubled.

while this is going on, it Is customary for
the seasoned person who is in charge of
the expedition to look at you with the
cold gray eye of plying contempt for
your ignorance and from time to time,
address you as Here you,' and give you
difficult orders in loud tone of voice.
Speaking personally, I'd rather DO

people who own sailboats, when address,

doing the best he can and making a
goulash of it. But at last we were off
and away, with wet sheet and a flow of
soul, as the poet says. 1t was shortly
afterward ! noticed that this Indian hur-
ricane which l spoke of awhile ago was
bearing down upon us with terrible rapid
ity. I think what particularly directed IL
to my attention was the action of the
boat In shying at something and turning
up on edge, the narrow way, while one
of the largest waves I've ever seen unex-
pectedly struck me in the face and passed
down my throat with muffled, gurgling
sound When l got my breath back from
down in my stomach l yentured to in
quire if 1t wasn't out of the ordinary for
people to venture out upon the Vastly deep

chip, at a time when a raging cyclone

overtime; and faring forth gaily to even
more arduous employment in a set of
running panties with the design of a
winged welsh rarebit embroidered on your
chest, and incidentally paying the nom

That's the way with this friend of mine
that owns the sailboat on board of which

time. He'd feel above taking job an
oyster boat or a dump scow, but he works
twice as hard and pays all the expenses
himself doing practically the same thing,
because, deluded creature that he Is, he
thinks he's enjoying himself. I'll admit
he does have his brighter hours. He has
one every time he oan lure some trusting,
but weak-minded acquaintance aboard his
floating annex of the burial parlors, and
sail round and round with him on the
raw and fretted edge of damp eternity.
That's where the pleasure for him really
comes in-gloating over the misery of
some unfortunate person who's never
done any harm before in his life and is
powerless from fright and other causes
to do him any now. The victim of the &C.
casion can confer an added pleasure by
becoming seasick and turning the color
of a student lamp-shade in the face.
From all I've been able to gather he

ut came up like this: 1 have a friend
who owns a sailboat Or rather, l should
say, a sailboat owns him and he's willing
to work for her for nothing and find him
self. He'll find himself drowned in
moist and highly unpleasant manner some
of these days, but that is neither here nor
there. He suffers from a delusion COM
mon among saiboaters, cross-country
walkers, put-the-shotters hundred-ya
dashers and others, that it's sport to do
a lot of very hard manual labor proyid-
ing you don't get paid anything for 1t.
If somebody came around and offered
them $185 a day and union hours, they'd
spurn the offer with an outburst of lam
guage that would be little short of in
spired, but they tackle the job gladly II
by doing so there's any chance, however
small, of winning a four-dollar loving cup
that they can put on the parlor mantel
and contemplate with loving pride, while
recovering from the spavins, the splints,
the Charles w. Horse, the Mollie K
Grubbs. the glass arm, the glass eye the
floating kidney, the semi-detached liver,
or whatever the complaint is that was
brought on by their almost superhuman
strivings in behalf of the advancement of
sport. It's one of the main differences
between sulenly creeping to your appoint

ostensible. but not full dinner pail clasped
in your brawny NIT, and getting two and
