EARTHQUAKE AT ROME
Caused Great Excitement, But no
Damage Was Done.

Rome, April 10.-Two earthquake
shocks were felt here to-day. The
first occurred early in the morning
and the second, somewhat lighter,
about noon. Some slight alarm was
caused in the city, but in the prison
there was considerable panic, the
prisoners making two separate at
tempts at mutiny. These, however,
were quickly suppressed.
In the village surrounding Rome
the shocks were more severe, and at
various places the people showed
great alarm, although no damage
was done.

ROOSEVELT NOT A CANDIDATE.

Says He Has Had Everything and
Had a Good Race for His Money
Ready to Help in Any Move for the
Good OF the Country.
Spokane, Wash, April 8.-The-
odore Roosevelt made his first public
declaration regarding his possible
candidacy for the Presidency at a
luncheon given in his honor to-day
by the Commercial Club.
Il am not an aspirant for anything
because 1 have had everything" he
said No man alive has had
don't know whether I ought to use
this smile in the presence of the
chaplain, but l am going to take
chances-no other man alive has had
such a good run for his money"
Mr.. Roosevelt said he was making
a tour for no other purpose than
that which he has already assigned
to thank the people who had elected
him to the Presidency. Had he never
come to the West, he said, he never
would have raised his regiment, and
never have become President. In
conclusion, he said:
1T is the service done, not the
title of the place, that counts. And
you won't, any of you, have to puzzle
as to my motives If you will accept
my statements at their face value.
You have nothing want, except your
respect and good will and all desire
is, so far as the chance arises where
am able to do so, to help you in any
movement for the good Of our COM
mon country"

down from her arms to look at the
pile of toys. Course don't care for
toys when I can have father. But
