The idea OF taxing Pennsylvania coal is
in every aspect a foolish one. The legis-

made itself responsible for a most I'M

better abandon 1t at once. Necessaries of
life are not taxed at present by the state
OF Pennsylvania and they ought not to
be taxed at any time.

ION the 9th of this month february
several shocks OF earthquake were felt in
Calabria and Sicily, but on the two follow
ing days the shocks were more violent and
made most desperate havoc; 800 villages
and hamlets are entirely destroyed. The
towns of Palmi and Semlnara are no more.
Geracia is destroyed and the princess OF
Grimaldi was buried in the ruins among
many others. The town of scilla Is also
swallowed up. The place where Pizzo stood
is no longer to be found. OF the city of
Reggie, universally famed for it's trade and
rici es, scarce a vestige remains. All we
can learn from Messina at present Is that
the town is almost entirely destroyed"

Describing the extoIit of the ruins and
the problem u removal, the writer says:
"Messina, like most Sicilian and southern
= ALLAN towns, was Of tremendously solid
construction. There was usually a facing
of brick or stone, and behind this was a
wall of ruble-a mixture Of mortar and
small stones--of enormous thickness. Three
feet Of this material was nothing unusual.
The forces which nature brought to bear
upon this construction eight days ago show
in the result that the buildings might as
we'll have been made of sand in the same
quantities held together between surfaces
Of cardboard. This explains why the ruins
of Messina make such al enormous mass.
The buildings averaged four or five stories
in height and the scrap heaps that remain
are at least two stories above the street
level. including the material in the road
way itself.
THE time is at hand when Messina must
be abandoned utterly. The ruins, still
peopled by more than 5000 dead. must be
left to the purifying influences of the same
force that we call nature. which wrought
all this destruction. Man should not at
tempt as yet to cleanse so vast a oharnal
house. We hear brave talk. most of IL

II. r. Chamberlain. an American CORES
pondent who cache Messina three days
after the quake. in a letter to a syndi-
cate OF American papers says the saddest in
cident OF the whole catastrophe happened
the day following the great quake. A party
Of Russian sailors foundi In the center of the
town the rear wall Of a +story house still
standing precariously. A foot or two Of
the third and fourth floors remained, and
upon these narrow lodges were cllnging
two women and three children crying for
help. There we're no ladders and rescue
seemed impossible. The brave bluejackets
did a heroic thing. One stood on another's
shoulders against the outside of the wall,
a third carrying a pick climbed over them,
and using his implement as al ice pick
drove it into the mortar high above his
head. By this means he pulled himself up
to a window sill. released his pick, used
It again In the same way to gain a nearer
window above and finally reached the ter
ror stricken refugees high in the air. He
lowered them with a rope to his comrades
below and then slid down himself. The
little party assembled in the narrow court
yard prepared to depart and one of the
sailors was wrapping his jacket around one
Of the almost naked children. At that mo-
ment the tottering wall fell upon them and
killed every one of the brave sailors as
well.

Tomikichi Mori, found guilty of at
tempt to murder S. Sheba, editor Of
the Hawaii Shinpo and recommend
ed by the jury to the mercy of the
court, received sentence to the limit
of the law from Judge De Bolt this
morning. This is imprisonment at
hard labor for not less than five years
and payment of a fine of one thou
sand dollars.
Judge De Bolt absolutely refused
to consider the recommendation to
mercy, regarding it as improper and
misplaced.
He also strongly denounced the
delay of the jury in finding it's YER
dict, seeing not the slightest occa-
sion for such delay, but made it clear
that his remarks applied especially
to the juror who held out against
his eleven colleagues.
Mori was allowed thirty days to
present and file a bill of exceptions.
Judge De Bolt in sentencing Mori
said that the Legislature provided
limit of punishment for the crime
of which he had been found guilty.
This was Imprisonment at hard labor
for not less than five years and a
fine of one thousand dollars. Such
limit was designed for extreme cas-
es, for violations of the law of the
gravest character.
"As I view the facts in this case"
the court proceeded, ut seems to
me it would be hardly possible to
have a crime coming nearer to be-
ing an extreme case than this one
which you have committed.
'You have admitted all the facts

allegation of irregularity.

of good character is always a proper
matter to show where it has any

Where a crime is clearly establish

Of course is always proper for the
court to administer justice with mer-
cy. I wish to observe, however, but
not to be considered as using the
fact against the defendant, that
counsel for the defednant did not
ask for mercy but only asked for
justice.
Notwithstanding that the jury for
some unaccountable cause not ap-
pealing to the court recommended
the defendant to the mercy of the
court. Now 1t seems to me that
even reputation has no application in
this case, absolutely none. In a pro-

binding upon the court to be taken
