Names Of Senators Used in Sharp
Work by Paper Men.

WI y ~ oFS' "Sbs
Washington, April 30.-John Norris
chairman of the paper committee of
the American Newspaper Publishers
association, has written a letter to
Senator Aldrich, informing him that
his name and that of Senator Frye of
Maine have been used in an effort to
corrupt the employees of the auren-
tide Paper company of Canada. and
to secure affidavits about the cost of
making news print paper in Canadi-
an Mills. The copy of letter from
Allen Curtis, acting manager of the
International Paper company, upon

of manufacturing paper there, and
asking the consul general to give TO
Purcell such assistance as he could
Purcell told superintendent Mason

that he knew their positions in the
Laurentide mill were in Jeopardy and
he assured them of places in the ELI

WAS BORN AT WHITE CREEK
Mrs. Susan Cook, Oldest Real Daugh
ter of Revolution.

The oldest real daughter of the Am
erican Revolution surviving in the
United States today-Mrs. Susan Hurd
Cook was born in White Creek, just
across the New York state line from
Bennington, nearly 101 years ago and
now resides at Clayton, on the st.
Lawrence river, where she has made
her home for many years. While ply
sically quite infirm, Mrs. Cook is men
tally more keen than many persons
score of years younger. In recent
conversation she was found to be
somewhat hay about her birthplace,
but asserted very strongly that she
lived with her people in White Creek
until about seven years of age and 1t
is probable that she was born there
The date of her birth was May H.,
/ sos, and a year ago on that date she
celebrated her one hundredth birth
day at her home in Clayton, receiving
the congratulations of host Of
friends.
Mrs. Cook is the widow of HAL
Cook. who died in Clayton twenty
years ago. Her father. Isaac Hurd,
was born in Connecticut in 1853 and
| he died at Watertown i'm 1852 aged SO
| years. most remarkable fact in
this one hundred and thirty-third year
Of American independence is, not that
| two lives span the space of time be
| tween the Revolution and today, but
| that two lives, those of father and
daughter. at the same time Tapped for
| forty-four years-an average lifetime
Isaac Hurd served as a Revolutionary
| soldier throughout the entire war. He
| lived to witness the second war with
| England, the war with Mexico and o.
hear the ground rumblings of the Civil
war which occurred in the next de
| cade after his death. His daughter
| born almost as soon as the new re
public was well under way, has lived
TO see the nation take its place among
the great powers of the earth In these
| opening years of the twentieth cen
fury
Mrs. Cook did not become a mem
Der of the Society of Daughters of the
American Revolution until she was
nearly 100 years old. Early in 1905
through the efforts of Mrs. Charles
A Ellis of Clayton, a certificate was
obtained through the Pension Bureau
and Mrs. Cooks name was added tc
the list of organized members of the
ID. A. r. She was presented a gol6
spoon bearing her membership mum
Der, 59.420. Mrs Cook undoubtedly
ranks as the oldest member of the d
A. r. society as well as the Oldest
real daughter of the revolution.

PEOPLE IN PANIC.
Repeated Shocks in Mexico Add to
Earthquake Damage.

Repeated shocks IN MEXICO Add to
Earthquake Damage.
City of Mexico, Aug. with the
people absolutely frightened and trem-
bling in terror from their awful exper-
ience in Fridays earthquake shocks,
five distinct shocks were felt again
Saturday, and the damage Friday is
light compared with the damage Satur-
day.
All communication was cut off from
Chilpancingo, Acapulco and surround
ing towns by the quakes, after it was
restored following Fridays shocks, but
information of the serious nature of
the shocks came through before the
wires went down. In every instance
the frightened operators at the keys in
the stricken towns, talking to the
equally frightened operators in the
capital, declared "the town is COM
pletely wrecked" or words to that
effect.
The operator at Chilpancingo, capital
Of the state of Guerrero, reported that
the palace of Governor Damien Flores,
which had been partially. wrecked, COM
pletely tumbled down, but that the
family had left its crumbling walls.
The shocks here were more severe
than the former ones were, and not an
American and but few foreigners re.
mained indoors. The parks and plazas
are crowded to overfiowing and many
people are in actual want of food.

MEXICO HAS QUAKE
Area Over 1000 Miles Square is
Devastated by TfembIOf.
TIDAL WAVE ADDS TO HORROR
Hundreds of People Have Lost Their
Lives and Many Towns Are
Completely Destroyed.

Mexico City, Mexico, July 31.-Hun-
dreds of lives were lost, innumerable
persons were injured and great prop
erty loss resulted from earthquakes
which shook the entire Southern part
of Mexico, extending from Oaxaca on
the Southeast to Acapulco on the Pa
cific coast, which was partially devas-
tated at o'clock yesterday morning.
Eleven dead are reported in this city,
and so bodies have been recovered at
Chilpancingo.
Adding to the horror of the quake a
tidal wave swept the city of Acapulco,
carrying down the bamboo houses
which line the shore, with hundreds of
occupants, who were unable to escape.
Most of these, it is said, were women
and children.
Driven panic-stricken from their
homes by the quake, it was some time
before the inhabitants realized the
predicament of the families in the
poorer quarter. Fires which started
gained good headway, and these
added to the death list.
The total number of dead in Acapulco
is not known, it being difficult to get
details from there tonight over Federal
wires.
About 100 miles inland from Aga
pulco the towns of Taluca, Puebla,
Horles and Chilpancingo, the capital
of the state of Guerrero, also suffered.
A runner reached Chilpancingo with a
report that the town of Mazatlan, a
near seaport, which was only recently
swept by fire, was again devastated.
The people there had only commenced
to rebuild, and the damage, therefore,
was not as great as it otherwise would
have been.
Reports have also been received from
Reopan, Zapate, Providencia, Atoyac,
Ayutla and Chilpa, and it is said seve.
raj people were killed in each place,
while there was also great loss oi
property. Iguala, Teloloapan, Cocula,
Cutzamala, Amatepec, Salterec anc
other towns north of the Balsas river
suffered. Some of these reports have
reached the city by native runners, ol
have been received from the territorie:
by Federal wires.
The shock was felt as far as Oaxacs
on the Southeast, and great rumblings
are reported in the ground in many
places, while the quake threw many
bridges out of plumb on the Ouerna
vacal railroad. Many of the town!
where damage is reported are practi
cally isolated, having only runners as ;
means of communication with the out
side world. Every effort is being
made to get details of casualties, bu
it may be weeks until official report.
are received by mail.
Acapulco is in the earthquake zone
and many temblors have been expert
enced there, but the present one, which
was followed by tidal wave, is saiC
to be the most destructive in the his
tory of the seaport.
In the tidal wave several craft in tn,
harbor, it is said, were sunk, increasing
the loss of life.

Osaka, Japan, Aug. AT 6 o'clock
yesterday morning the terrible confla-
grafton which has reduced to ashes a
large portion of this city was under
control. Up to that hour 13, 900 build
ings had been destroyed. An area four
miles square was swept by the flames.
A fire which threatened to destroy
this city started at a O'Clock Saturday
morning. At 8 80 Saturday night the
fire had consumed one-fifth of the town.
The firemen who had been fighting
all day, were completely exhausted and
troops were called out to assist in the
fire fighting and to preserve order in
the city.
The exact amount of damage done
by the flames cannot be estimated at
present, but the total will be large. A
number of persons have been killed
and seriously injured by the fire.
Osaka is one of the "imperial cities

CHAPTER TX.

After the interim of quiet that Lent
always brings in Clarkson, the spring
came swiftly. There was renewal of
social activities which ran from dances
and teas into outdoor gatherings. Evelyn
had enjoyed to the full her experience at
home. She had plunged into the frivoli-
ties of the town with zest that was
trife emphasized through her wish to
escape any charge of being pedantic or
literary. She was glad that she had gone
to college, but she did not wish this fact
of her life to be the haunting ghost of
her days; and by the end of the winter
she felt that she had pretty effectually
laid 1t.
In June Mr.. Porter began discussing
summer plans with Evelyn. He elimi-
mated himself from them; he could not
get away, he said. But there was Grant
to be considered. The boy was at school
in New Hampshire, and Evelyn protested
that 1t was not wise to subject him to
the intense heat of Clarkson summer.
The first hot wave sent Porter to bed
with trihing illness, and his doctor took
the opportunity to look him over and tell
him that it was imperative for him to
rest. Thompson came home from Arizona
to spend the summer. He and Wheaton
were certainly equal to the care Of the
bank, SO they urged Porter, and he finally
Welded. Evelyn found a hotel on the
Massachusetts, North Shore which sound
ed we'll in the circulars, and her father
agreed to 1t. When they reached Orchard
Lane he liked 1t better than he had ex-
pected. Every night he sat down with
cipher kilograms. and constructed from
Thompson's statistics the days business
in the bank. He received daily from New
York the closing quotations on the shares
he was interested in, and as he walked
the long hotel verandas he effected a
transmigration Of spirit which put him
hack in his swivel chair In the Clarkson
National.
In August Wary Raridan appeared
suddenly and threw himself into the gale
ties Of the place for a fortnight. Mr..
Porter asked him to sit at their table
and marveled at the way Evelyn snubbed
him, even to the extent of running away
| for three days with some friends who
| had yacht and who carried her to New
port for dance. During her absence
Wary made all the other girls about The
place happy; they were sure that "that
Miss Porter" was treating him shabbils
and their hearts went out to him. War
~ sulked when Evelyn returned and they
had an interview between dances at o
Saturday night hop.
He sought for recognition as a lover
been making to win her approval by dill.
sonce at his Office; he took care to cal
her attention To his changed habits.
"But. Evelyn, am doing differently

Collision Near Coeur d'Alene Results
in Death of l3.

Collision Near Occur d'Alene Results
in Death of 10.
Spokane, Wash, Aug. 2.-Thirteen
persons were killed and SO more or less
seriously injured in head-on trolley
car collision Saturday afternoon, at
Coldwell, on the Spokane and Coeur
d'Alene branch of the Spokane & Idaho
railway, 25 miles east of Spokane.
Ofiials of the line have not made a
statement as to responsibility for the
wreck. 1t is said the eastbound train
did not take sidetrack as it had been
ordered. 1t is incomprehensible why
the motormen did not avoid the col
lision, as the accident occurred on a
straight track. The motorman of the
westbound train is among the dead.
Both trains were running at a high
speed, especially the westbound train,
and were presumably beyond control.
The wrecked cars were ground to-
gether in one confused mass. The in
juries are of all kinds. Legs and arms
are broken and heads and bodies are
crushed Bruises and scratches from
splintered wood and broken giass are
numerous, and internal hurts, which il
is feared will swell the list of fatalities,
were Inflicted.
The first car of the train, the smok-
er, was SO smashed that nothing but
the trucks remained. 1t was crowded
with men and scarcely one of them es
capped alive and uninjured.
This is the first serious wreck in the
history of the road. The track wa!
cleared in about an hour and half.

SdAII LEX Nlll.-lCOntlnueQ.D
John turned out the light, and while
they waited for the elevator to come up
for them Wary jingled the coins and
keys in his pockets before he blurted:
II say, John, I'm an underbred, low
person, and am not worthy to be called
thy friend, and you may hate me all you
like but one thing I'd like to know. Did
she say anything about me when you
passed us this afternoon-make any COM
ment or anything? You know despise
myself for asking, but"
Saxton laughed quietly.
"Yes, she did; but l don't know that
l ought to tell you. 1t was really en-
couraging. She said, Miss Margrave
has lot of style; don't you think soT :"
rs that alp demanded Raridan, step
ping into the car
That's all. 1t wasn't very much; but
it was the way she said it; and as she
said it she brushed fly from the horse
with the whip, and she did it very care
fully"
In the corridor below they met Whea-
ton coming out of the side door of the
bank. He had been at work, he said
Raridan asked him to go with them to
the club for game of billiards, but he
| pleaded weariness and said he was going
to bed.
The three men walked up Varney street
together. They were men Of widely diff
ferent antecedents aSd qualities. Cir
cumstances, in themselves natural and
harmless, had brought them together. The
lives of all three were to be influenced
by the weakness of one, and one woman's
life was to be profoundly affected by con-
tact with all of them. 1t is not ordained
for us to know whether those we touch
hands with, and even break bread with,
! from day to day, are to bring us good or
evil. The electric light reveals nothing
in the sibyls book which was not dis
closed of old to those who pondered the
mysteries by starlight and rushlight.
Wheaton left them at the club door and
went on to The Bachelors, which was
only step farther up the street.
How do you like Wheaton by this
timer asked Raridan, as they entered
the club.
| II hardly know how to answer that"
Saxtor answered. Hes treated me we'll
enough. 1t seems to me I'm always try
ing to find some reason for not liking him,
but l can't put my hand on anything
tangible"
That's the way feel" said Raridan,
hanging up his coat in the billiard room.
Hes rigid, some way. There's no let-go
in him. l guess the law allows us to
dislike some people just on general prin-
ciples, and Jim likes himself so well that
you and don't matter"

Vast Area Feels Earthquake.

Mexico City, July 31.-Central Mex
leo, from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from Querato on the north to OAK
aca on the south, an area of more than
1000 square miles, was shaken yester-
day by series of the most severe
earthquake shocks felt in the region
for quarter of a century. The lower
part of Acapulco, the whole of Chilpan
cingo and probably the other towns
were totally destroyed. Reports of the
loss of life are scattering, but it is GER
tain that hundreds must have perished
in the coast cities and in the interior
towns.
