quake Zone.
Rome, Jan. 6. = The report from
Messina that typhoid fever has bro
ken out there has filled the authori~
ties with alarm and apprehension. 1t
is realized here that unless proper
sanitary precautions are taken at
once the disease may spread far out
side the ruined districts. Even
though the present cases may prove
to be dysentery, it is well known that
this disease, under such conditions as
prevail at Messina and Reggie, would
be likely to prove just as fatal as
typhoid itself.
King Victor Emmanuel received
Ambassador Griscom, who presented
him with the steamer Bayern in the
name of the American relief commit
tee, representing the American peo-
pie. TIL Bayern is loaded with pro-
visions and medical supplies and is
ready to proceed to the Straits of
Messina. The king was greatly
pleased and said that the Americans
were always first
Thirteen thousand refugees have
arrived at Naples up to date, Of
whom 5000 are wounded. They are
receiving the best of care, but many
have died of the4r injuries and others
have gone mad More than so per
cent of those taken out of the ruins
after three days did not have
strength left to survive their terrible
experiences.
The United States gunboat Scor-
pion left Naples carrying supplies,
principally of sterilized milk, for dis
tribution at Messina under the direc-
ton of the American consulate.

TIE PAnAStA CANAL.

There has been talk lately of trou-
lie on. the canal and much gratui-
Gus advice has been given Presi-
lent-elect Taft to talk with him first
class engineers on his proposed trip
20 look over the ground.
One of the persistent cries was that
the great Gatun dam was failure;
that it was settling. Authoritative
announcements in recent issue of
the, Scientific American disclose the
fact that the settling of the dam was
part of the scheme of the canal en-
gineers, not an accident but the re-
suit of well-thought-out design.
There were two ways of reaching
a solid bottom. One was by a te-
diOus and unsatisfactory removal of
the upper strata of sand and shifting
soil, the other by simply allowing the
masonry to sink by force of gravita-
ton until it found secure Judgement.
This latter method was adopted, and
the settling of the dam was simply
the carrying out of the purpose the
engineers had in mind from the start.
Uninitiated observers took it to be a
calamity, and reported it as such

Three Killed In Explosion.

Inez, KY, Jan. 6.-Three lives we're
lost in an explosion at the home Of
Allen Cassel, a wealthy planter and
deputy sheriff of Martin county. Cas-
sells wife and son were burned to a
crisp, while his stepdaughter died
shortly afterward. The boy set a can
of powder near the CRATE fire. He
noticed small white lump in the can
and, not thinking it to be powder,
threw it into the flames. The lump
exploded, setting the can on fire, and
1t exploded with great force.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1909
THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.

The short, sharp panic which be
gan at the close of 1907, has been
attributed to many causes. The
speculative element in business and
many of the predatory captains OF IN
dustry assailed the President. And
yet pamcs seem to come about so
often and undoubtedly are in the end
beneficial in many ways to the coun-
try. ~
During an era of prosperity men
do not stop to consider the possibil-
ity of reaction or of failure. They
are careless in their calculation ov-
er-sanguine in their estimates, eager
for profits and reckless in their ex-
penditures.,
This was the conditions of affairs
prior to July1, 1907. Men combined
corporations and capitalized at many
times the original value of this com
bined capital They manufactured
securities of various degrees. They
passionately urged the public to buy
and dividends were declared which
earnings did not justify. 81
A coterie of bankers in New York
was the leaders in this movement.
Finally affairs reached such crisis
that these men had to be brought to
book, else the whole banking commun-
ity of that great city would have been
In bad odor throughout the country.
The effect to eliminate these specuia-
tive bankers alarmed the country and
caused the temporary withdrawal of
capital from commercial channels.
The year 1908 has been a year of
recuperation. The banking interests
have come through with flying cOlors !;
the great railroad systems have
weathered the storm. There has been
a general recognition that the ener-
gies of the country were wisely en-
ployed in rebuilding the credit of the
country, in filing up the reservoirs
of capital that had been exhausted
In agriculture especially, the year
has been one of prosperity. The crops
have been good.
In 1909 we are to have the bene-
fit of the work of the reconstruction
which has gone on without Interrupt
ton during the past twelve months.
In Central Kentucky the tobacco
troubles seem to be over and mil
lions of dollars will soon be available
for circulation through the commun-
ity. Merchants have reason to con-
graduate themselves that there have
been no large losses. Some in VIM
chester have had even a better year
than 1908, which marked the high
tide in business. Most of them have
done at least as well as in 1906,
which was considered an exceptional
ly good year.
The business community can look
forward with confidence to a prosper
