Incident In the Temperance Career o.
Father Mathew.
In 1913, when Father Mathew was
crusading for total abstinence in Lon
don, he created no small amusement
for a large party at the hospitable
mansion Of an Irish nobleman by his
attempts, partly playful, but also part
ly serious, to make q convert Of Lord
Brougham, who resisted good humor-
eddy, but resolutely, the efforts Of his
jealous neighbor. The incident is re-
lated by Katharine lyman in her biog-
raphy Of Father Mathew.

OUR BIG BATTLE SHIPS.

Quake Sufferers.

Washington, Jan. IA memoran-
dunn showing the location and propos-
ed disposition of the Atlantic fleet is
now before the state department for
use when the decision is announced to
offer the Italian government the as
siStance of these vessels and their
crews in caring for the sick and
wounded. For the time being the mat
ter has not been taken up with the
government.
President Roosevelt has for himself
and the country at large expressed his
sympathy for the people of Italy in
the dire calamity which has befallen
them. and this government, is anxious
to do anything it can to relieve dis
tress and succor the helpless .
The navy department has asked the
commanding officer of the Culgoa as
to the condition of his stores, but af-
ter careful examination the officials
are inclined to think there are no
more aboard than are needed to sup
ply the larders of the Is battle ships.
Congress viii be again in session on
Monday. and if there shonld exist any
doubt at the state and navy depart
ments as to their authority to utilize
any OF the stores on board the battle
ships of the supply vessels for relief
purposes, this can be at once cleared
up by joint resolution directing such
use

officials that prompt consent will be

tales of terrible suffering.
All the World Aids.
Every channel open to the govern
ment has been utilized to this end, and
other nations have been quick to come
to its assistance, even before the cry
for aid went up.
Shiploads of fugitives have been car
ried out Of the stricken zone to Naples,
Palermo, Catania and other posts, and,
according to the Minister of Marine,
rescue vessels to the number of SO are
now centered in the Strait of Messina
and 5000 soldiers are being landed on
the two coasts.
Most important of all now is the
question of the living. Thousands of
those who escaped the falling walls
and the sweep of the tide are starving
and are without clothes or shelter.
They can scarcely long survive their
sufferings.
The first thought has been to carry
food and covering for these. helpless
people, and it has now been decided
by the government to send a fleet of
emigrant steamers to transport them
to other places.
Earth Still Shaking.

Prof. Rico, director of the observa-
tory at Mt. Etna, states. that his in

tidings of the hundreds of foreigners
supposed to have been in the zone,

Impossible to Describe.
The commander of the Russian
cruiser Admiral Makharoff which ar
rived at Naples yesterday with refu-
gees from Messina, has given the fol-

Hearing at Agosta, Sicily. Of the
disaster, I hurried to Messina. In
spite OF what has been said the form
of the Strait of Messina shows little
if any change.
"The harbor is filled with refuse of
every kind, and at one place is the
wreck of a sunken steamer. 1t is inn
possible to give even a faint idea OF
the desolation of the scene. Every

PRISONERS REMOVED
FROM JAIL
AUTHORITIES FORCED TO TAKE
coNvIcTS OUT OF KAN.
SAS PENITENTIARY.

Lansing, Kas., Jan: 30.-Nine
coaches, composing special train to
convey the Oklahoma prisoners from
the Kansas state penitentlary here to
McAlester, Vinita and Atoka, Oklaho-
ma where they will be incarcerated
in the county jails, left Lansing at
noon today. The convicts, numbering
in all 344, 16 of whom are women were
shackled together in pairs, those in
clined to be unruly being chained in
groups.
The removal of the prisoners today
grew out of an official investigation
started by Miss Kate Barnard, sup
erintendent of prisons and charities
in Oklahoma who charged that the
Oklahoma convicts were cruelty
treated. Following the investigation
Kansas refused to renew it's contract
with Oklahoma for the care of their
convicts. The old contract ended to-
day and Oklahoma officials were
forced to remove the convicts, not
withstanding Oklahoma has no state
penitentiary in which to house them.
