FOR The
BUSY MAN
Most Important Happen
ings of the World
Told in Brief.
THE EARTHQUAKE.

Reports from the earthquake-strick-
en- district Of southern Italy and Sicily
indicate that about 100000 persons
persisted in the appalling disaster. In
Messina and Reggie alone the dead
number 10000. Another severe shock
completed the destruction of Messina
and 1t was feared killed more persons.
The survivors were reported to be suf-
fering terribly for food, clothing and
surgical attendance. The king and
queen personally aided the victims. 1t
was feared many Americans persisted,
as there were 80 in one Messina hotel.
The report of the death of Consul
Cheney and his wife was confirmed.
The American Red Cross society voted
$4,000 to the relief fund, J. Pierpont
Morgan sent $4,000 and the king of
Italy gave $4,000.
Wireless reports from the Strait of
Messina, received at Rome, stated that
the Lipari islands, a group of vol
canic islands in the Mediterranean,
near the coast of Sicily, have disap-
peared. The total population of the
group numbers $4,000 and must in
evitably have persisted. The Italian
government, aided by other nations,
devoted its efforts to relieving the
starving, suffering survivors of the
earthquake. No definite word of the
fate of Americans was received. The
United States supply ship Celtic sailed
from New York with cargo of food
and supplies for the Italians that had
been destined for the Atlantic fleet.
Large sums of money were collected
and forwarded by the Red Cross asso-
citation.
Good progress was made with relief
work in southern Italy and Sicily,
many soldiers and sailors being util-
lied. and hundreds of refugees being
taken to Naples and other cities. The
report of the destruction of the LII
pari islands was unfounded. Two
more earthquake shocks were felt at
Messina. The king and queen were
tireless in the work of aiding the suf-
fering American contributions were
steadily and rapidly growing. Taor-
nina, where there were many Ameri-
cans, was uninjured.

King and Queen Go to Sicily.
King Victor Emmanuel and the
queen, who left for the scene of the
calamity, reached Naples last night
and proceeded at once to Sicily. A
large number of people saw their
majesties depart from Rome and one
among the number of deputies at the
station observed to the king: "The
presence of your majesty will suffice
to console the stricken population"
The king turned sharply upon the
speaker and said abruptly: Don't
talk nonsense"
Horrible Scenes in the Ruins.
The work of rescue at Messina, ac-
cording to the meager details received
here, presented narrowing scenes.
Hundreds of people were pinned under
walls and rafters alive, but terribly
injured, for 80 hours. One of the res
cuers found under the ruins of house
five children, alive, but unable to
speak, clinging around the corpse of
their mother. In some cases heroic
rescuers met death in the falling de-
bris. In one house 20 persons sus-
pended on the fifth floor and unable
to reach the street because the lower
floors had been torn away, were res
cued with a rope by sailor. Six
criminals were killed while attempting
to loot the Bank of Sicily, where cash
amounting to half a million dollars
lay in plain view.

Lasted Only Twenty-Three Seconds.
A report of technical observations
from the observatory at Messina says
the earthquake lasted for % seconds
only. 1t was accompanied by remark
able atmospheric phenomena. The
surcharged air was filled with sparks
and flashes of flame which fiared up
until the heavens seemed afire. The
crest of the earth appeared suddenly
to drop. These phenomena were fol-
lowed by distinct lateral oscillations
that threw the panic-stricken people
off their feet as they rushed to the
streets.

In His Youth. George W. Perkins
Achieved Other Than Financial
Distinction.

OF course il may seem mean TO dig
/; up on him now that he's made good,
but George W Perkins, now famous
was once a singer in church choir
in Cleveland and his only claim to
distinction in those days was an Incl
dent now past the memory Of all but
the older inhabitants of this town.
George lived here when he was a
Young man in his early twenties and
he liked to sing He had first-rate
voice and made the choir out at Beck
with Memorial church, If one is cor
rectly informed as TO the particular
church The choir singers sat In a
loft back of the pulpit almost hidden
from the congregation. At that time
there were two or three remarkably
pretty young women in the choir.
Well there wasn't any harm In the
bass or tenor singers looking at the
contralto or soprano mSmbers OF the
choir and feasting their eyes on them
when the sermon dragged, was there?
Certainly there wasn't. But being
seated all in row, 1t was necessary
der to get square view of face at
the other end
That is what George w. Perkins did
one bright Sunday morning, if the
dope is handed down Alright He shift
ed his chair about a trifle TO get a still
better view Unhappily, one leg OF
his chair had been resting close to
the top OF the steps that led down
from the choir loft to the main audi
torium. When George shifted his chair
he shifted one leg over the edge Of
that stairway.
4 second later a bright young man,
destined to be one of the great finan-
cial geniuses OF the coutry, lay all in
heap at the foot of the pulpit And
the sermon was brought to complete
stop just as effectively as if it had
been wound up by peroration-
