 A severe earthquake was reCor1- ed here today.
 Advices received this morning from vera Cruz are to the effect that the evacuation of the city by the United states troops yester- day was successfully accomplished and that everything is orderly to- day. Hundreds of refugees depart ed on the transports, rather than to remain and take chance of their lives under the resumption of Mex ican rule. Z

j. J. F. Ward, erstwhile man ager of the Portland House in this city, but who recently leased the place and went down to Glacier Point, in back of Haines, to take possession of and prove up on @ homestead location that he ha2 made there, returned to skagway Sunday in his launch and will take back with him Mrs. Ward, who re- mained here when he went before' and the balance of his household belongings.
 It was MT. wards intention tt have left for home this afternoon but as the weather conditions were not favorable he will delay untll he gets a day that suits him on which to make the trip.
 He reports that several parues have recently taken up homestead claims in the vicinity of where he is located, among them being James Tillus of Skagway and George Rumple of O'Donnell river, in the Atlin, B. C., mining district.

and cooking utensils can be install- ed at the school house.
 MT. Blanehard's department will take up the work of growing flow CTS and vegetables. There will be a chance for competitive work in the three last named depart ments and in due time the scheme for prizes will be worked out.
 Mrs. Kirmse's department will see to securing new members.
 Mrs. Clark's department will re- port the doings of the P. T. A.
 Mrs. Pedersen's department should be of special interest to all the mother hearts in Skagway. The plan of this department is a elus within a club. There will be mothers' meetings, probably at the school house, on fixed dates, where topics Of especial interest in the bringing up of children will be dealt with. Perhaps in time to come. light refreshments of their own m&kins may be served by the children ana perhaps there may be chance to buy ironing boards, picture frames Or kindred objects from the man ral training boys.
 According to art " Of the by jaws, each chairman of the stand ing committees is entitled to sell ect two helpers. Mir. Pedersea chose as helpers on the manual training committee, subject to their acceptance, P. H. Ganty and Oscar Selmer.
 MT. Blanchard on the Horticulture committee chose Judge Conway and, H. D. Clark. The chairmen of the other committees were not ready to announce their helpers.
 The P. T. A. is still in it's iR-. fancy but, despite a somewhat sem aral feeling that all such socieaes in Skagway are doomed to pre'na- ture decay, it has the promise of becoming a healthy adult. And why? Because no other society was ever started hero that had for it's foundation the welfare Of the home and of the school. The bull wark of the future is built on these two institutions. Their i'm press is on every man and every woman.
 Remember the date of the nsAs P. T. A. meeting, 8 P. m. SFlo@S' December 4. Come with a Wlinns heart and a helpful suggestion.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER s
Music, Ritual, and Eulogy Will Combine in a Worthy Tribute to the Year's Harvest of Death. Ceremonies That Will Inculcate Ideals to Make Life's Journey Sweeter, and Build Broader the Brotherhood upon which the OIter Bases Its Existence.

Sacred the country oyer among the lodges of Elks as the day OH which deceased members of the order are memorialized, the first Sunday in December is always fit tingly observed by the lodges throughout the United States and its possessions, and this year the occasion will be even more elabor- ate in most cities than heretotore. In Skagway 1t will be observed at the Elks' hall, as has been the cus- tom for several years, and pro gram suited to the occasion will be carried out.
 To EIks this first Sunday in De cember is the apex of their year. It brings to all the recollection of the day when all things are leYeled and the common human heritage of a mound of earth is all that is left to preserve the mor- tai story.
 On that day Elks reflect on the mystery of life and death, the com ing and the going-the creation anu the end. Various are the creeds ot the Elks. but it is not their MS sion to reconcile these beliefs. It ia the mission, however, of the great and growing organization to eXtolI tbe virtues of the dead and lo preach the spiritual optimism thai | is at least the, seer of belief ill ultimate union.
 It is the essance of Elkdom meyer to forget an Elk living or dead. On this memorial day the big heart 'i Elkdom testifies publicly to th"' memory, so far as the dead are concerned, and exalts it's principles Of humanity, sympathy, aid and comfort.
 Exalted Ruler James Kennedy has appointed a memorial commit tee which will attend to prepara- tions for a fitting observance Of tn day in Skagway. In addition +o d short ritualistic service there will he several musical numbers oi merit Two addresses will b" made Some member of the lodge will be selected to speak on tbe significance of the Hodge ot sorrow" and also pay just trlon'e to the memory of the departed. 1Ae Reverend L. H. Pedersen will par ticipate in the service, and 'aucN upon the religious aspects of the occasion.

Mrs. Joseph Medill Mccormick, daugh-
ter Of the late Senator Mark Hanna, and
member of the fashionable sets Of wash
ington, Chicago, New York and Newport,
sat at her desk in one of the downtown
Washington buildings, where she recently
opened an office. In business-ike attire
and manner, she resembled any one of
the millions of American wage-earning
women who leave their homes every
morning for the days work in the bus-
ness districts of the large cities.
DO l mind telling you of my plans for
The work I have undertaken" asked
Mrs. Mccormick. Not at all, in SO far
IS these plans have been formulated
they are only in their initial stage. AS
chairman of the national congressional
committee of the National Woman Suf-
frage Association l intend to work for
the securing of a federal amendment en-
franchising women. The other members
of my committee have not yet been APP
pointed. so cannot give you their names.
In order to facilitate the Work l have
undertaken l have opened two business
offices. one in Washington and another
in Chicago where l shall spend much of
my time this winter. The Washington
office will be maintained for what you
might call lobbying purposes-that is, to
keep the equal suffrage amendment be-
fore the attention of our national legisla-
tors-not to let them forget and to keep
them interested.
THE Chicago office, where l will work
for the greater part of the winter season.
will be used for organization purposes.
Both offices will be conducted the
same lines of promptness, industry and
business methods on which other business
offices are conducted. | will, of course,
be in one or the other of them all the
time and will work as earnestly as l can
to secure a federal amendment for the
suffragists."
In gaining the consent of Mrs. McCor-
mick to serve as chairman of the con-
gressional committee, DIR. Anna Howard
Shaw and Miss Jane Adams secured
valuable ally to the cause. Few womt n
in public work today have the executive
ability and the valuable experience that
Mrs. Mccormick brings to anything she
may undertake. AS mere girl she be-
gan to work for social welfare b. in
terestng herself actively In the welfare
of the employees of her father. His coal.
steel, iron and lumber interests afforded
wide scope for her social and phi an
thropic reforms. The problems of the
working man and woman were taken up
after the emotional way OF most women
when once these problems are called to
their attention. She studied them
thoughtfully and inteligently. her aim
the most enlightened social methods Of
the day.
1t was Mrs. Mccormick who several
years ago organized, to cooperate with
the National Civic Federation, woman's
