Proof of the widows powers of per-

in the dark vestibule that evening.
The perambulator was the chariot OF

He did not mention the encounter,
not being quite certain as to the ma

he stumbled; but during the night lit

There are a lot OF dangerous fal-

You have often said or heard this:
Il think I'll send the children 70

fever--or the measles-and have il

You don't realize that you are
spreading the contagion. You don't
stop to think that Ave children out III

die from the effect.
Yet such is the case.
To stop an epidemic--this is the
great aim always OF medical author
tiles. Yet in these children's dis
eases, unthinking people encourage
the spread of an observation-disclosures
ly encourage It.
Two-thirds OF the children's diseases
can be prevented. This Is on the all
thority of the best physicians. Some
put the proportion even larger.

The Times has told you some of the
dangers that lie In wait for the baby.
There are others waiting when the
baby puts on skirts or knickerbockers.
For example
Do you realize that measles kills
more people than smallpox
Or that scarlet fever kills more than
appendicitis, or rheumatism?
Or that whooplng cough carries of
more people than maIariai fevers and
twice as many as diabetes?
Or that chlldren's diseases ranked

Or did you just think like everybody
else that children's diseases-measles.

That every child had to 90 through, like

DEATH AND RUIN

A DISTANCE COVERING MORE
THAN ONE THOUSAND
MILES SHAKEN.
"A ARE KNOWN TO Be KILLED
Several Towns in State Of Guerrero
Partially Destroyed-Many Build

Leveled and Cracked.

Mexico City, Mexico.-Central
Mexico from the Atlantic to the Paci-
fc and from Querato on the north to
Oaxaca, on the south, a distance COW
ering more than n thousand square
miles, was shaken by a series of the
most severe earthquake shocks felt
in the region for a quarter of a CEN
fury. Reports of the loss of life are
not complete, but the official figures
show that fourteen were killed out
right and more than a score mortally
injured. The towns of Acapulco and
~Chilpancingo, in the state of Guerrero
have been partially destroyed.
According to the observatory rec
ords, the first shock of the series was
felt at AIS in the morning, the rock
ing oscillation being from east to
southwest. It was very severe, caus-
ing the bells of the many cathedrals
of this city to toll, breaking crockery
and in some instances leveling walls.
The people had hardly recovered from
the first fright when a second more
severe shock caused an outpouring OF
nearly everybody to the streets and
plazas. This movement was of a
tripodory and oscillatory character
lasted with marked severity for one
minute and thirty-seconds. The tall
buildings of the city swayed and in
some instances cracked, the pave
ment opened in places and in the
poorer sections Of the city a number
of houses collapsed.

BLACK CHAPTER IN
SPANS HISTORY
KING ALFONSO PROCLAIMED
MARTIAL LAW AND SUSPEND
ED ALL GUARANTEES.
TRAGEDY At HOME AND ABROAD
Orders Are Given to Governors Of
Provinces to Crush Revolution at
Any Cost. Without Hesitation
and Without Pity.

Madrid, Spain.-The revolution in
Catalonia has reached a serious
stage. There is much bloodshed and
artillery has beer employed in the
streets Of Barcelona to quell the out
breaks. The city is terror stricken.
The revolutionists are reported to
be fighting desperately behind bayri-
'cades. The troops include mounted
artillery and the defenses of the reb-
els have been raked with shot.
King Alfonso has turned back to
Madrid from Sebastian, and at once
issued a decree proclaiming martial
law and the suspension of constitu-
tional guarantees throughout Spain.
Orders have been given to the gov
errors of the provinces to crush the
revolution at any cost, without hssi-
tation and without pity.
Fighting at Home and Abroad.
The day marks a black chapter in
SPANS history, for there was tragedy
both at home and abroad. The king
reached here in time to learn that
part Of his army at Meliella had had
a bloody battle with the Moors,
which, though the final victory was.
won by the Spaniards, cost the lives
of twenty-one officers and a total Of
200 S%paniards killed or wounded.
An exact estimate of the dead and
wounded in the clashes between the.
troops and rebels in Catalonia is i'm
possible, owing to the rigid censor
ship which prevents the sending of
private dispatches and the govern
ment has not fixed a total.
The government admits, however,
that rioters have been killed and
sounded in several cities and towns,
including Barcelona, Alcoy and Gala
horra.
Disturbances in Many Quarters.
Details of the latest disturbances at.
other points are either meagre or
lacking altogether. There has been.
rioting at Saragossa, Vendrell, Rioja,
Port Bou and Elanson, and a general
strike was declared at Biscay.
The center of the revolution is Bar
celona, to which place the govern
ment Is rushing extra troops. A
dispatch this morning said that the
Barcelona reVolutionists had been
defeated as a result Of desperate
charges by the troops but a dis
patch at noon announced that the
fighting had begun again, the artil.
lery using heavy guns to demolish the
barbados. The peaceful section Of
the population fled in fright to their
houses and locked and barred them
selves in.
No Life is Safe.
A military proclamation has been
issued at that city, that no life is safe
and warming peaceful citizens to re.
main under cover.
