From the ceiling extended draperies
of filmy blue to the great pillars and
the rostrum. while on all sides pro-

draperies showed the rich colors of
the royal arch, while paneed through
out the symbolic color and emblems
Of the knights Templar added con-
trast to the color scheme. 1t was diff

two years. When the end came he

Mrs. Theodore II. Ficklin and Mrs.

funeral Having been for forty five

a wide reputation a teacher. He
had been principal of the old st. John $

rollment of students from every state
in the Union and from Cuba as we'll.
Native of Alexandria.
Rev. Father Carne was born here,
October ;, 1926, and his parents were
AleXandrians by birth. When but n.ne
years old he attended St. Johns Acad-
envy, of which lie aftcrward became
the head, and which but two years
prior 10 his enrolment had been cstab-
lished by Rev. John Smith, S. J. In
1870 when but sixteen years old, he
withdrew from school and engaged in
the hardware business with his father,
who at that time conducted an estab-
lishment at the southeast corner of
King and Fairfax streets.
short time after reaching his major
ity he was urged by his friends to reor-
sanize old st. Johns Academy. which at
that time had been temporarily closed
Tor want of patronage. He took UP the
work and reopened it. although under
most unauspicious circumstances. 1t is
OF record that he realized but $50 for
the first eleven months of his work at
the institution. Father Carne however
was not dismayed at the prospects. He
loved teaching and he continued the
school, which within the next few years
had more than hundred students. This
number was increased from year to year,
the fame of the school having spread
throughout the United States and old
st. Johns within a few years boosted OF
students from every state in the union.
The majority of AleXandria's young men,
most of whom are today Alexandria's
most representative citizens, were stu
dents there.

Due Precautions.

In town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived it to be place where, if
one should trust his fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached a vigorous sermon, I'M
der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. At
the close of the open-air service one
Of his admirers approached him and
said, regretfully:
"I'don't suppose that you knew that
the editor of one of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat"
Il reckon l knew It well, for I'd
been told Of it," said the preacher
calmly. Il don't believe he's as bad
as he might be, and anyway, put my
coat on the chair close by and had it
right under my eye all the time

Asc etics in India.

Self-renunciation is one Of the fea-
lures of Hindooism. A writer says:
F'The Rscetic life is the natural fruit
of the pessimism of India In no other
country is such transcendent merit
attached to modification of the flesh.
Ascetics press their martyrdom to al
most incredible limits; they win pass
kheir days outstretched upon a bed Of
spikes; they will hold up an arm till
at withers in the socket; literally they
treat the body as though It were a
slave. The devotee is saluted every
where as mabaraia, men of wealth
and position constantly in their de-
clining years resign their possessions
ITO their heirs, and wait Cor death in
Enakedness and poverty by the Ganges
at Benares; nay, it Is no uncommon
thing that young men, the products Of
our universities, should re1inquish
their interests and their ambitions
and join the wandering army of de-
Totees who, literally in sackcIoth and
ashes, seek grace in an amending
round Of pilgrimages.

1900 KILLED OR

Thousand Square Miles OF Territory

Wiped Cut.

Tashkend, Asiatic Rus<ia-It Is
now believed that 1000 persons
were either killed or injured in the
terrific and devastating earthquake in
Turkestan. Two thousand soldiers
equipped for rescue and relief work
were sent into the stricken territory
Of Semiryetchensk
Practically I 900 square miles Of ter
rftOry are said to have been shaken
and whole towns wiped out
Reports from towns and villages on
the edge of the death belt, whittier
refugees fed, stated that conditions in
the interior of the devastated zone are
horrifying.
A big detachment of troops was or
dered to hurry at all possible speed
from the Tashkend barracks toward
VyeTny, a fortified town Of $4,000 in
habitants, which is reported wholly in
ruins
AT Kopal great section of the town
lies in ruins, according to the meager
reports. Communication was practical
~ cut off and from the interior of the
earthquake zone no definite word came
at all.
In the Strike desert east OF Kopal
and upon the vast steppes stretching
among the mountains, hundreds of
members of Turkestan tribes are said
to have been swallowed up by the
earth.
Scores of persons persisted in Lake
Issyk-Kul. When the earth began to
rock, many fed into boats upon the
water, thinking themselves safe from
falling buildings or cracks in the earth
However, the surface of the lake be
came so violent tltat the boats were
swamped.
So great was the force Of the
tremOrs that mountains in the Koongi-
Ala-Tau range were split open.
The force of the shocks was felt for
hundreds of miles along the northern
frontier of China.
st. Petersburg.-A message from
Russian Turkestan, says
there are unconfrmed rumors that
the towns Of Przheyalsk and
Pishpek, in the territory Of Semiryet-

formed on the site of the former
place. Each town has a population
of about 5000.

New Representative Champ

America at their annual dinner that
he approves of them.
Il believe the editors and publish
ers Of magazines are the greatest edu-
Gators Of our time" said he. 81 believe
with Henry Ward Beecher, that we
must educate the people or go to the
bad.
IF had one prayer for the Ameri-
can people, it would be that every man
should be so educated as to read his
ballot and have the courage to vote
according to his conscience. That
education may come from the schools,
the newspapers or the magazines"
A long list of other prominent
guests attended, among them being
Theodore Roosevelt, Richard A. Bal

Four Are Named in the

Los Angeles, Cal.-Twenty-two sep

the special county grand jury which

October l last.
All Of the indictments charge muir
der IN connection with that crime. 1t

1t is believed a number Of San Fran

dynamite plot, is understood to be
the charge set forth in all the indict-
ments, but it is believed that not
more than three or four men are
named in the true bills.
The return Of the indictments to-

to degree that for few days Dor

special grand jury was impaneled on
October % it was Immediately con-
fronted with two conflicting theories.
One Of these, supported by the find
ings Of an Investigating committee ap-
pointed by Mayor Alexander was that
the Times plant had been blown up
by dynamite conspirators. The other,
presented by a committee named by
the state building trades convention,
then in session here, was that gas was
responsible.
More than forty witnesses, the ma
jority Of them identified with the
union movement, were summoned
from San Francisco and other cities
In addition, labor union officials were
summoned. In all the grand jury ex-
amined more than 200 persons who.

siX-story brick office, warehouse and
salesroOm of the julius Andrae &
Sons company, electrical supplies,
118-120 Sycamore street, and burned
four hours, destroying the building
and contents, causing a loss of about
$25O,000.
For a time it was feared the entire
district east of the electrical plant to
the river was in danger of burning
and all the downtown fire apparatus
was brought into service.
Eighty tons Of wire were stored
on the fourth floor of the building
at the time the fire started When
this crashed through the f1ame-weak-
