Rome, Jan. IA violent earthquake

east-northeast. lasting three seconds,
and during which the Stromboli vol

Stromboli Island yesterday.
The phenomenon was accompanied
by prolonged rumblings. The houses
on the island were badly damaged,
and the populace fled to the street in
panic. but no one was hurt. The
weather is intensely cold on Strom-
bou Island.
1t Is rumored that another earth
quake has occurred at Pellaro, which
was badly damaged by Mondays

been precipitated into the sea- The
population was about 1000.

er OF 5000 tons. capable of carrying
1900 passengers. He has chartered
the steamer for two weeks, and it is
being loaded with medical supplies

1t is expected that the steamer will
sail from Civita Vecchia, about so
miles from Rome, on Thursday. 1t will
be placed under the orders of the Ital-

Unpatriotic Effort to Aban-

Rome, Jan. 4.-Sicilian ne1ds about
Stromboli today resemble the camping
place OF a great army. Rudely con-
Istructed huts house the families and
many are living in the entire open.
These are residents of towns which
were shaken yesterday by additional
earthquake shocks, which laster one

buildings, but no one was killed. Sew
eral deaths have occurred from expo
sure. Mount Stromboli spouts lava
in an alarming manner causing PAN
icky feeling among the people, who
are afraid to return to their homes.
The government took decisive steps
today to end the unpatriotic sentiment
in favor of burying Me- ssina in it's own
ashes and abandoning the town. Many
arguments we're put forth why this
should not be done and the Chamber
of Deputies will have to decide the
question. Distinct though not violent
earth shocks continue to be felt In
Southern Italy and scientists predict
that more violent shocks may still be
looked for, possibly very serious ones,
owing to the condition of the earth s
crust.

II the vote does not stand exactly az
given above ON the first ballot II will
be mighty close to It, The only SER
ious doubt seems to be rs to the rela-

The general opinion is that Slack will

ure just the opposite way. But the
logic of the situation seems to dictate
that Slack will lead Shiveiy. because
Slack will have his own strength-the

Lesson In Good Manners.

A well-known lawyer is telling a
good story about himself and his eff
forts to correct the manners of his Of
flee boy. One morning not long ago
the young man tossing his cap at a
hook, exclaimed:
Say, Mr.. Blank there's a ball game
down at the park to-day, and I'm go
ing"
Now, the attorney is not a hard
hearted man, and was willing the boy
shoul go, but thought he would teach
him little lesson in good manners.
Jimmie" he said, that isn't the
way to ask a favor. Now, you come
over here and sit down. and I'll show
you how to do it."
The boy took the office chair and his
employer picked up his cap and stepped
outside. He then opened the door soft
ly. and, holding the cap in his hand.
said quietly to the small boy in the big
chair:
please. sir, there is a ball game
at the park to-day; if you can spare
me l would like to get away for the
afternoon"
In a flash the boy responded:
why, certainly, Jimmie; and here
is 30 cents to pay your way in

Death of Noted Musician.

Angelo Tessarin, an eccentric must
clan of Venice, died forgotten and poor
at Marseilles a few days ago, aged rs,
the New York Sun says. He was one
Of the best known and most popular
musicians in Venice fifty years ago. He
was celebrated as pianist and com
poser. Still he lived and died in pow
erty, and his creditors were so numer-
Gus and eXacting that in his old age,
when he was convinced that he could
never pay them, he left Venice and
spent his last days abroad.
Tessarin was greatly attached to his
native city and strove hard to end his
days there. He invariably carried an
umbrella, which served to keep his
creditors at bay; in fact, whenever he
met one of them he opened it and hid
his face and thus passed on unrecog-
nized.
After his wife died and he grew old

known him in better days offered him

A certain DR.. Schlapp Of New York
has been giving the National League
for the Civic Education Of Women a
highly scientific view of the present
female exodus from the home into the
office, shop and factory. He does not
take a respondent view Of this move
ment, believing it to be temporary and
largely sympathetic, though he does not
conceal the conviction that it would be
fatal to the race, If complete and per
manent. DR.. Schlapp can imagine no
greater calamity than that the anabol1c
women Of the United States should be-
come katabolic. These adjectives, he ex
planned to the ladies, are used to define
the diverging characters and qualities
Of male and female in the gradual as
cent from moenad to man. AS the most
elementary students Of biology know,
the lower forms of life are without sex,
higher forms combine two sexes in one
individual, while still higher separate
the sexes in different individuals. The
higher the type rises the more pro-
nounced the divergence and difference
of qualities and characteristics. In
any arrest of this upward progress,
male and female individuals tend to
lose the distinctive characters Of their
own sex and acquire those Of the other.
This is plainly reversion to lower
plane Of human progress. Anabolic
women are the natural women of the
home and family. Katabolic women
are those who are born with some of
the qualities of men and have cultiva-
ted these qualities at the expense of
others by use. DR.. Schlapp considers
them accidents or artificial products,
like white black birds or blue roses,
perhaps not really more numerous in
this than in other periods. What he
defines as the exceptional present con-
dition is the exercise by these kata
bolics Of some strange hypnotic infiu
ence over the anabolics, by which many
of the latter are led in a mad race
over the boundaries of sex against
their natural tendencies. That is to
say, DIR. Schlapp philosophically consid-
ers the present movement as a sort Of
hysterical delusion, like the Greek
worship Of Bacchus or the medieval
frenzy of witchcraft.

Some brides may be inclined to re-

1t was the custom of the bridegroom
to fill a purse with goodly sum of
money and present it to the bride on

purchase of her person. 1t sounds like
slavery, like the buying of goods and
chattels. yet the bride had nice lit
tie sum of money for her own use.

tom in that country. The bridegroom

STOP WASTE OF DAYLIGHT.
What the Proposition Made to the
British Commons Means.

" max the PROPORTION MAWC INC
British Commons Means.
Few movements have spread SO rad
idly in a short time as the agitation
in favor of the daylight bill. A select
committee Of the House of Commons
reported in favor Of the measure last
year, and it's supporters will make a
supreme effort this session to pass it
into law. The bill aims at preventing
the terrible waste of daylight" which
goes on at the present time, says Lon
don correspondent of the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
According to Mr.. Willett, T. r. A. S.,
the scheme consists Of putting forward
the fingers of clocks twenty minutes on
each of four Sundays in April and of
putting them back twenty minutes on
each of four Sundays in September.
That is to say, it proposes to substitute
for eight Sundays of twenty-four hours
each four Sundays In April which shall
be less than twentyfour hours and
four Sundays in September which shall
be more than twentyfour hours. Moth
ing is lost, but the gain is substantial.
1t means that the man who now leaves
off work at p. m. will take with him
home the light we now have at 3 40 !;
he who leaves off at o'clock will take
with him the light we now have at
40, and SO on. To workingmen who
leave of work on Saturdays the advan-
tage to be gained is most striking.
Those whose half-holiday commences at
10 or 1 or 2 o'clock will have at their
disposal as much daylight as IL 1T COM
