CITIZENS ARE NOW
FACING A FAMINE
Practically Every Building in the
cities of Acapulco and Chiipanc'nso
Was Razed to the Ground and Much
Suffering Is Reported.

MEXICO CITY, August 22.-Detai1s
which are beginning to arrive from the
state of Guerrero show that the recent
series of earthquakes in the valley OF
Mexico and along the Pacific coast
were the worst experienced in many
wears. 1t is now certain that tn9
towns of Acapulco and Chilpancingo
have been practically destroyed. What
the earthquake of Friday failed to do
was accomplished by the stronger one
of Yesterday, which either levelled or
rendered uninhabitable every build
ing in those places. In addition to
the ruin caused by the earthquake,
Avapulco now faces a famine. All oi
the markets were destroyed In the
shocks of Saturday and the country
people are afraid to bring more prod
ucts into the town. The people arr
camping in the public squares.
The few buildings that remain
standing are being levelled by dyna
mite. as they are little more than tot
tering walls that are constantly fall
ing as new shocks come. During the
heavy shock Saturday the water in
the harbor receded a distance ol
thirty-three feet and then rushed bach
covering the docks and piers.
The people are suffering consider
ably. no only for want of food, bu
because of their exposed positions
The tents in the public squares anC
streets do not srve to keep off The
heavy rains which fall at this season
Funds are being raised in Mexico
CITY to relieve the distress OF Guerrero
Tn Mexico City the shock of Satur
day was heavier than any yet expeli
enced. AS the work of examlnauoI
continues more and more evidence
damage is found, though so far al
known no lives were lost in the las
agitation. Many tourists who were
stonping at the local hotels are 'eaV
ing for the United States.
The Associated Press office her'
has Just received telegram from
Acapu1co confirming the reports o
,,+bers of disastrous earthquake
which, according to the message, o'
curred on Saturday afternoon. Til
message was considerably delaye
in transit. The consul states that tn
entire population is living in the ope
and there is much suffering from tn
elements and want of food. AT tn
time of the filing of the message In
earth was still frequently tremb!tn
and light shocks were occurring at al
interval of an hour or so apart

ECHO OF sIGEL MURDER.

Women Missionaries in Chinatown
Forced to Abandon Work.
NEW YORK, August 2.-Women
missionaries to the Chinese have been
forced to cease their work with resi-
dents of Chinatown. This is in part
the result of their alleged activity in
the Elsie Sigel murder case and the
information they are supposed to have
given the police concerning the ways
of Chinatown.
But the principal reason for the dis
continuance of their efforts to con-
vert the young Chinese is that one
of them aided Moy Yon Toy and Chin
Fung Chow, Chinese girls, to leave
their employers home in Mott street
aud to complain to the Gerry Society
that they had been held as slaves.
This missionary is Miss Mary E.
Banat, head of the Chinese department
of the East Side Parish Methodist
| Episcopal church, on Second avenue.
Miss Banta declined to be inter-
viewed today, but one of the workers
of the East Side parish admitted that
she had been obliged to suspend her
work.
Rev. DR.. John r. Henry, pastor OF
the church, said Miss Banta would
probably never return to the Chinese
work. She has been alone in the field
since the Sigel case gained noto-
riety for the women missionaries, and
1t is not deemed safe for her to keep
on.

DOUBLE DAILY MAIL SERVICE.
Between Hattiesburg and Natchez Was
Installed on the Mississippi Gen.
traI Yesterday.

y
Installed on the Mississippi Gen.
trail Yesterday.
Double daily service seven days In
each week was installed yesterday
on the Mississippi Central between
Hatiesburg and Natchez.
This is the service that the Com
mercial Club has been working for for
some time and which was promised
a few weeks ago. The service has
been very poor on this road only one
mail each way six days Of the week
having been allowed. To eight of the
larger towns express pouches were
sent on the other trains every Gay in
cluding Sunday, but this is the first
Sunday mail to the small towns. The
new service provides not only for a
Sunday delivery on the new run, but
on the old one also so now there are
two mail deliveries to each office
every day. This is a great advantage
to Hattiesburg as we'll as to the towns
along the Mississippi Central and
when Uncle Sam can put like ser
vice on the M, ]. & X. G. and double
Sunday service on the G.. & s. l. Hat
tiesburg will have up to date service
in alt directions.

WAS AN idea
OF ROOSEVELTS
Ex-President Holds the Distinction OF
Bringing Into Use the New Design
on Money Just coined-First Issue
of Pennies Today.

WASHINGTON August 2.-Lo, the
poor red mani Not only has he been
driven from his native land, but he is
also to be banished from the coinage
of the country if the demand for the
new Lincoln cents, issued today, con-
tinues at the present rate.
Distribution of the copper coins bear
ing the head of Honest Abe instead
of that of the Indian which has orna-
mented them so long was commenced
| today, with a brisk demand. The
cents were coined at the Philadelphia
mint, but the San Francisco factory
will soon add to the supply.
Many Pennies Outstanding.
There is now more than S16,500,000
of the Indian head coin outstanding,
and the retirement will be slow, for
the reason that banks will be required
to pay transportation charges from
| the mint, whereas the old pennies in
amounts of $40 or more are delivered
free by the sub-terasuries.
The Lincoln cent is the idea of For.
mer President Roosevelt who commits
stoned Victor Brenner, of New York
to design the piece. In speaking OF
his work Mr.. Brenner said:
"If you viii observe the Lincoln
cent carefully you will see that l have
made him smiling. l wanted to show
the sunshine as we'll as the goodness
of his life. My intention has been tC
present a situation in which Lincoln
might have appeared at his best. Fin
al llMnimagined him as taking to E
! d his is the face on the coin.
Il woman is natural when speak
ing 70 a child. When adults converse
they are usually on guard, but in talk
ing to a child faces relax and are a
their best. l am glad the head viii
appear on the cent, the piece of money
most familiar to the masses. 1t wa'
Lincoln who said that God must love
the common people because he haC
made so many of them. l had rather
have the head on tn cent than on thu
500 gold piece"
Brenner Self-Made Man,
Mr.. Brenner came to this country al
a poor boy twenty years ago. His faith
er in Russia had taught him engraving
but until he learned enough Englisl
to make himself understood he did no
, know where to look for employment
in that trade and turned match ped
t dler in the streets of this city. Hi
) first work in an engrayer's shol
> brought him $3.50 week. He attend
ed Cooper institute at night to stud
: clay modelling. When he was able t
earn SIS a week he saved most of
until able to go to Paris for cours
in sculpture. He opened studio i
n New York on his return, and has sine
= kept himself busy.
The Indian head, in use for NOR
than a generation on the cent and no7
to be discontinued, is to share tn
= fate of it's predecessor, the eagle, fo
!. the reason that it is easily countel
: feited. Early in the present year tn
government decided on a change bu
even then it was proposed to place tn
head of Lincoln on a silver coin, prol
: ably the half-dollar Mr.. Brenne
submitted his design at Washington
The head was then assigned to tn
