STEELToN NOTES

The chorus of male voices. organized
to sing the Easter mass at st. James
Catholic church, will hold lts first re-
hearsal Sunday, January "a, in the Ben
ton Club hall. This rehearsal was an
nounced to be held January II, but
the non-arrival of the music caused the
postponement.
\ robin redbreast, seated on the
limb of young locust tree in the East
End, Steelton, and warbling to the riS-
ing sun, attracted the attention of NJ.
F. Harlan, his daughter and several of
their neighbors this morning because of
the very early appearance of this har-
binger of spring.
The date for the Senior class play in
the High school auditorium has been
set for January %. Under the direc-
tion of Professor William Harclerode
the east of Seniors is holding frequent
rehearsals and it is expected that the
production of 1.-The Pottsville Postof-
fce' will attract large crowd.
I. j. Kelsey and John Kline were
fined yesterday by Justice of the Peace
Dickinson for trespassing ON the prop
erty of the Pennsylvania railroad at
Highspire. Kelsey and Kline were hunt

100 ARE CRUSHED TO DEATH AT
FUNERAL SERVICE IN CHURCH

London, Jan. 16, 1850 A. M.-Spe.
cial dispatches received here from Rome
say that the casualties in the earth
quake zone are to-day estimated at
$4,000. Further reports doubtless will
increase this number. In a number of
directions communication has not yet
been restored and the government
has not yet heard from many mountain
towns.
One hundred persons were crushed
to death in church at Castelliri while
attending a funeral service. The vii
lage of Boccareccio was totally destroy
ed and the population is to-day home
less. Soldiers searching the ruins of a
church at Sora found the bodies of
twenty nuns who had been crushed to
death while in front of the altar in the
act of receiving communion.
A dispatch given out by the Central
News describes the situation in the
Sora district as terrible. Although TO-
600 persons in this district escaped
with their lives, many of them are to-
day dying of hunger and cold. The
destruction of the roads interferes Sc
riously with the sending in of relief and,
thousands of persons are suffering from
famine.
The directors of the observatory at
Rome declared yesterday that the
shock of January 1S, was twice as Sc
we're as the quake which destroyed
Messina. On Wednesday all the OBJ
servatory instruments were broken.

At recent meeting of the. Minis

FAMINE AND INTENSE COLD
INCREASING HUGE DEATH ROLL

Rome, Jan. 16.-Famine and in.
tense cold are adding to the suffering gs
of the earthquake victims and slowly
increasing the already huge death roll
Food there is in plenty, but its trans
portation to many of the towns affected
is all but impossible because of OBJ
structed roads.
Attention gradually is turning from
Avezzano the center of the disturbance,
and the greatest sufferer, to other and
smaller towns, where an almost equally
large percentage of the population was
destroyed. In only one case so far
that of Sora-do late reports show
that the effects of the quake were less
disastrous than had been feared Only
$50 of Sora's 1900 persons appear to
have beeu killed.
Though it seems to be definitely es.
tablished that the present earthquake
will not rival that of Messina in 1908
in the number of dead, the percentage
of casualties in proportion to the popu,
lation affected appears to be much
higher. Messina had 76,4S3 dead and
95,47O injured; present reports inii-
cate 10000 deaths and twice as many
injured in this catastrophe.
Up to the present the Italian govern
ment has declined foreign official as.
sistance but this has not prevented un-
official aid of all kinds. Mrs. Thomas
Nelson Page, wife of the United States
Ambassador, has contributed $500 to a
fund being raised, and other American
women are following suit.

The fronts and sleeves of the bodice are

Probably the most difficult age to

ages of twelve to fourteen and some

the part of the mother.

Often mothers fail to realize that
their daughters are growing up and con
tinue to keep their dresses short when
it makes them look all legs, and few
ambitious mothers err the other way
and start to lengthen their daughters
dresses too soon. 1t is happy medium
which must be reached, and can only be
attained by careful thought as to what
is the most becoming length for the

slender she needs different length
from the short and stout figure.
There is a great hue and cry about
buying cotton fabrics. The result is
that thcre are many very handsome cot
ton materials put on the market which
can be used in the winter Corduroy is
notable example of this. Stunning
corduroy costumes with luxurious
trimming of fur defy the winters cold
and give the wearer the comfortable
feeling of having done his best to sup

Poplins, serges, gabardines are popu-
lar fabrics this season. Serge has be-
come standby-it may be bought as
low as fifty cents yard in narrow
widths up to four and five dollars ward
for the wider widths. But the most
popular of all suitings is covert. The
colors are usually in the tan shades
which seem to belong to covert cloth,
but it is also made in other coors, such
as dark blue, black and green.
The newest fabrics show sickness
of textures and suppleness which makes
them particularly susceptible to draping
and soft folds.

this type of frock to wear beneath

serge. The finer weave of serge is best
