Freak. of the Avalanche.

One still January night a number of people in a tiny Swiss hamlet of the Canton valais quietly abandoned their homes, and shortly before midnight the avalanche broke loose with plung- ing roars. It started many others in its downward roll, left the usual track, broke through and destroyed an old struggling larch forest and completely buried a big chalet in which twenty six persons had taken refuge. Of these nineteen were killed and seven saved. This avalanche found a final resting place in lake which its broken masses struck with terrific impact, causing thousands of fish to rise to the surface, quite dead. This reminds me that yearly tens of thousands of chamois, foxes, marmots and all kinds of birds, including even the lordly eagle himself, are destroyed by ava Ranches and their attendant hurri- canes. Last season at Andermatt a superb mountain eagle was dug out of an avalanche alive, together with the sheep upon which it had been preying. -Woman's Home Companion.

RAILWAY BUSINESS IN 1909.

President Howard Elliott of the Northern Pacific. an~wcg- ing the last of five questions put by the Railway Journal says:
 We have plans for new extensions but do not care to make them public at the present time"
 J. C. Stubbs of the Hartman lines is unable to answer that question" President Underwood of tho Erie does not think the demand for extensions would be met by capital. J. r. Hara- han, president of the Illinois Central, sees plenty of room for railway eX tentiohs in the rapidly developing country. but his road had none of im- pol lance in mind. F. A. De!ano. prcsi- dent of the Wabash, contemplates no extensions. nor does W. A. Garrett, chief executive officer for the receivers of the Seaboard Air line. In answer to other questions. the officials named agreed that the business prospect is for a healthy, normal improvement, that freight rates should be increas | and that unreasonable auti-railr1ad agitation and legislation should ccass.

HEAVY INSURANCE AWARD.
Recover s1o9,84S for Unpaid Insur- ance.

Philadelphia. Dec. 31.-A verdict that is expected to have a far reaching eff feet in insurance matters was return ed in the Tinted States court here yes tprday whcn John M. Carroll operator of the Fries -Breslin carpet factory in Camden N. J.. was awarded Si09 S4S on a claim against Bergner & Snyder. for unpaid insurance
 The Fries Rreslin factory. which was burned several years ago was insured for about $500 000. The insurance company refused to ray the entiva amount because of a chattel mortgage clause in the policy. Carroll conteuded that Bergner S Snyder as his agents who were insurance eNperts. had placed the insurance. and if there was such a clause in his policy he did not know about it. and should have been informed bv his a0snts whose duty it was to protect his property. When the company did not pay he brought action against the agents. The court sustained his contention in charging the iUTV.

GOVERNOR WOODRUFF
 APPEALS FOR AID

Appeal for aid for the victims or the Sicilian and Calabrian earthquake. Governor Woodruff has issued the following proc lamation to the people of Con- necticut:
 "The terrible consequences of the earthquake in Southern Italy and Sicily a few days ago are so well known to the people of the state that rehearsal is unnecessary.
 "Our people, ever quick to re- spond to every call for help will not forget those sufferers in need now in Italy.
 The Red Cross society, which is organized for the purpose of aiding communities in need be- cause of calamity. can and will do everything possible in aid of the sufferers with such funds as arc sent to it.
 Those who aid early give help when it is most needed, and I urge the people of Connecticut to give as liberally as their means permit.
 T would recommend that con- tributions be made through the American Red Cross society's local agents, who will forward such donations to Mir. R. Fl. Cole of Hartford, the state treasurer of the Red Cross society"

New York, Dec. 31.-The United States supply ship Celtic, which was to have met the returning battleship fleet with holiday cheer. s@iled out of New York harbor this afternoon on an entirely different mission but with out changing a single item of her car go She will go to Messina. with a million and a half of navy rations for the earthquake sufferers.
 Happy Idea of Commander Huse.
 The idea of changing the Celtic in to & relief ship came to her comman- der, Harry Mel. F. Huse last night. It met with the immediate approval of Rear Admiral Casper r. Goodrich commandant of the navy yard who promptly communicated with the de- pertinent at Washington.
 Red Tape Thrown to the Winds.
 Red tape was cut in a jiffy, on the ground of humanity, necessary prep rations were hurled at the yard, and the Celtic, with Christmas trees still lsshed at the mastheads--it had been designed to make the Celtic the Christmas ship for the heet-sailed late today. Her supplies will not be eaten by American sailors, but by sui fering survivors of the Italian disas ter
 Always First in Acts of Mercy.
 In the face of the overwhelming need Of the Italians. the department is con- sidering its own men second; how they will be provided with food is some thing that will be considered later. The navy department takes full re- spOnsibilty for this sudden gift of supplies belonging to the United States government to the Italians, without warrant of law. It probably relies upon congress to approve of this evidence of American pluck and the "get there" qualities of the American navy. Just as it's ships were the first to reach Kingston after the West In- dian earthquake disaster, so the Am erican naval flag on the Celtic may be the first to bring actual food sup plies to Messina from any country, ev- on though we are $500 miles away. Certainly the ship has been despatch ed to sea in record time-in less than eighteen hours after her captain con- ceivSd his humanitarian idea.
 It is deemed a feather in the cap O. the navy. an achievement which will take it's place in the history of the service.
 Food for 5o,ooo People for One Month
 Tho Celtic has in her cargo S15O. 900 worth of provisions, sufficient food fo1 s0,00O people for one month; $32, ,000' worth of clothing; tents enough to &C., eonmodste 1000 persons and a large quantity Of medical and surgical sup plies.
 Will Waste No Time in Reaching Mes
 sina.
 According to her orders, the Celtic is to proceed first to Gibraltar, which she should reach in twelve days and where she should receive congress- formal authorization to distribute the government stores 10 the naked and starving Italians She will waste no time a Gibraltar, but will simply touch there long enough to get the necessary congressional sanction and will then sail post haste to Messina.
 The clothing that the Celtic is talk ing consists of 7,500 suits of outer clothing; $500 suits of underwear: 25e00 pairs of socks and $500 pairs of shoes. All this was broken out" and put aboard her in two hours. Her food supply comprises all staple arti- oles.

SHRtNKAGE IN
 TRANSATLANTIC TRAVEL, Nearly 100000 Persons Less This
 Year Than Last.

New York, Dec. 31.-Passen2er travel across tine Atlantic in the year 1908 shows shrinkage of nearly one mil lion persons a. compared with the pre- ceding years. according to figures com piled b! the transatlantic steamship companies and given out today For the first time in many years the east bound figures are in excess of the westbound OF incoming
 The decrease is apparent in every class-tirst, second and steerage-in the westbOund. and in the first and second cabin business in the east bound The onl-- class showing an in crease over the year 1907 was the out- ward bound steerasc. In this class the increase in round numbers was 10S.- 0OG. The greatest decrease of the yea" was in the third class incoming or Westbound steerage, amounting to 963,8Sl. During 1908 the incoming steerage numbered but 402.000, while in 1907 1864. 6SJ came in.
 The decrease in first and second cabin business is noticeable. but the most sensational feature of the trans Atlantic passenger movement of the year was the outgoing or eastbound steerage. It began during October 1907, and continued uninterruptediy during 1908. Industrial conditions which have prevailed in the United States during the past year are re- garded as the real reason for the un- usual exodus.
