earthquake which last night shook
the town of Avellino, near here, and
extended with varying severity
throughout the provinces of Campa-

the worst earthquake since the Mes

may be far too small, as details have
not been received owing to broken
telegraph lines. King Victor Eman-
uel has gone to the scene The gov
ernment and Italian Red Cross socie-
ties are Fastening relief. The people
are terror stricken, thousands being
camped in the field Government
has sent troops to quell disorder.
The quake occurred while the people
were in bed, and lasted only a few
seconds. Parliament at Rome today
voted 100000 for the relief of the
sufferers.

LIVINGSTON WORRIED
ABOUT REVENUE OFFICE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Congressman
/ Livingston is worried over his Inability
to obtain any information relative to the
revenue collectorship at Atlanta. He has
been unable to see Postmaster General
Hitchcock dispenser of federal patronage
I'm the SOUTH and Secretary MacVeagh'
of the treasury, has been out of town Tor
a month. The colonel wants to know frst
when Ruclxer is to be relieved and, sec
ond. who his successor is to be.
Before the holidays it was common talk
here that John w. Martin was slated for
the collectorsl1ip, and his nomination was
expected almost any day. Reports that
his confirmation would be fought Vigor-
ously in the senate may account for tho
fact that no appointment has been made
by the president.
Martin has always had the Endorsement
of the Georgia referees and the approval
of Mr.. Hitchcock, and it is not believed
that they have changed their plans at all.
C. ]. Sheehan and other applicants. how
ever. are still waging an active fight for
the place.
Colonel Livingston says the president
virtually promised to relieve Rucker OF
his Office in Atlanta, and he thinks IL
high time that he was doing so.

TEACH THE CHILDREN
TO SAVE MONEY

IT is often and truthfully said that
a penny saved is a penny made. The
foundation of many of the greatest FOR
tunes was begun by saving penny.
The habit of saving is one OF the best
that can be formed. Every child
should be taught to save something
every week. The satisfaction of count
ing these pennies when the bank is
emptied is one of the pleasures that
we never forget; perhaps every one Oh
us can remember the thrill of joy we
had when we emptied the contents OF
the bank on the table and counted and
recounted this mountain of wealth; how
eager we were to tell our little friends
the amount Of our great fortune, and
raced with them in reflling the bank
To bring this pleasure within the
reach of every child and help the form
ing of the penny-saving nabit, Messrs
Scott & Bovine, 400 Pearl street New
York, the manufacturers of Scott's
Emulsion, are offering to send to any
address, for 10 cents, a beautiful little
Savings Bank; each bank contains a
new Good Luck Penny. Send 10 cents
and get one.

TERMS OF WHITE SLAVE
BILL WHICH HOUSE PASSED

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE white
slave bill passed by the house today
provides for the deportation and exclu-
sion of Immoral aliens and for the ex-
clusion and punishment OF their pro-
curers. Traffic in immoral women be-
comes subject to the restrictions OF in
terstate commerce laws.
Immigra ton laws are amended so as
to exclude persons who are supported
bv. or who receive proceeds from the
prostitution of aliens and provision is
made for the criminal prosecution or
persons who shall harbor aliens for the
purpose of prostitution. Any alien IN
mate of a house OF prostitution and
any alien who in any way assists such
an inmate is made liable to deportation
at any time after their entry into the
United States.
The measure makes it crime, pun
ishable by a fine of not more than S5,OOO
and IMPRISONMENT for not more than
ten years, for any person to procure
ticket Tor any person to go from one
state to another to engage in prosntu-
ton.
The latter provision aroused vigorous
nrotests from many members of the
house on the ground that it was uncon-
stitutional in that it was an infringement
of the police power of the states
