PLAY PLEASED
THE CRITICS

Henry Miller set the fashion OF
producing plays at matinees when
he first presented THE Servant in
the House" to New York audience
The innovation pleased the critics
of the big city as much as it sur
.prised them, for until then it was
considered most effective to produce
new play at night, rather than
under the half light, of an after
noon in the theatre. There is small
wonder wrote the critic of the New
York Sun next day, that Henry
Miller Cto whom we are now in
debted for another extraordinary
theatrical treat chose to produce

To DISCONTINUE
LOG DRIFTING

Cincinnati, oct. 2G.-The new ex-
tension Of the Chesapeake e Ohio
railway in West Virginia probably
will maye material change i'm the
logging situation OF c. Crane &
Co., of Cincinnati Ohio. 1t is un-
derstood that this company has made
a proposition to the railway com
Pany to have delivered large part
of its timber to Cincinnati by rail.
The timber industry of the Guyan-
dotte valley is great, and from this
place the timber business has . al
ways been handled by the timber
being foated out on the Guyandotte
and there RATED. Mr.. Crane, Of the
above named firm secured control
of this bushes number of years
ago, and since that time has invest
ed probably 100000 in booms and
piers in order to take care of the
great amount Of timber hoated out
of the Guyandotte at the mouth of
the river rated and placed in the
Ohio. 1t /. a question as to what
can be dove with the railroad com
pany in this matter. but should il
accept the proposition it will bring
about a great change I'M the logging
business ON the Guyandotta river. a
great many causes have forced the
lumber firm 90 the con Iteration. as
10 has been refused privileges on the
Gurando'te river which would en-
able 10 .o hold the timber more So
.nr.'H and while &c is the belief of
erca. many timbermen that it viii
ne imposibla to handle the timber
by rail. it is only a question of
lime. and further developments will
be awaited with great real Of
interest.

the sky a huge burst of flame, fol-
lowed by a crash that seemed to shake
the whole town. This probably was
the gas works blowing up.
Eventually we reached the princi-
pal square of Messina. Here we
found 1000 or 5000 utterly terrified
people assembled. None Of us knew

The SeIaess Life.

Every honest effort to succeed in
any department of life is conditional
upon self-restraint. Every high ideal.
every worthy purpose, appeals to this
2 principle: sIf any man viii -
we would make money, we Indst
render indulgences and make ca
lives tell on this one thing Seneca
has well said: "a great fortune is a
great servitude." A man who had
secured high distinction in university
life, once said to me: Il got it, but
l had to pay the spriee." The price
was night vigils and years of our
time, anxious waiting and deferred
hope. His success had, in fact, been
due not so much to his natural genius
as to his fxity of purpose and his
complete self-restraint.
The Christian life must have in its
content liberal self-denial. The man
who would serve Christ must keep
under his body and bring it into sub
lection. He must be temperate in all
things. More than that, he must
make a way through his secular re-
sponsibilities for the Kingdom of God.
We cannot incidentalize religion. It
is by a process Of %seif-denial and self
suppression that we achieve and o n

THE WORK OF RESCUE.

Rome.-The first stories of the res
cue work at Messina reveal to the full
the horrors which accompany such
catastrophes. In addition to thou
sands of corpses, often hideously
m%angled, hundreds of injured are ly-
ing beneath the wreckage.
Many of these are women and chill
dren in their night clothes. Shrieks
and cries of pain are heard on all
sides. Now and again some unhappy
wretch, mad from terror or grief, is
e sitting in the mud the sea de-
posted in the streets, or clinging
with useless energy to some support,
fearing the sea will return and wash
him away.
Instances r recorded of such de-
mented persons deliberately plunging
into the burning ruins and perishing
in the flames. In one place five chill
dren were found around their moth
er's corpse, themselves only Just alive.
The torrents of rain have helped to
check the fires, but make it difficult
for the rescuers to accomplish any
thing. They are also aiding the de-
composition of the bodies.
Crowds of destitute, too much hurt
or too dazed to help themselves, hud-
die in the higher parts of the town.
Many have fed into the country seek
ing refuge in caves and crevices in
the mountains.
Reports from numerous places in
Calabria and Sicily bring tales of dis
aster, any one of which would alone
cause a sensation. At Riposto the
sea suddenly receded, and as suddenly
returned in a wave of enormous
height, overwhelming everything for
a distance of a quarter of a mile in
land, and in its ebb sweeping hum
dreds of inhabitants into the sea. 1t
it stated that the dead are lying in
thousands at Monteleone and through
out that neighborhood.
-AH kinds of reports of robbery in
Messina have reached here. The pri-
son was demolished and many of the
prisoners were killed, but others
made their escape and started to join
the vandals who YER looting the city.
These robbers, undeterred by the
appalling sights around them, robbed

We were anchored off Messina
when, at $40 yesterday morning,
there was a fearful ~upheaving move
ment which, coming from the bottom
OF the sea, struck violently all the
ships anchored in the harbor.
Then the sea suddenly arose into
a mountain of water which, running
down the strait, struck with a thun-
derous crash on the piers and jetty.
Ships Sunk at Anchor.
'The bridge giving communication

movements. Should this settling
