A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING State Senate Excludes The Tulsa Star! Aureonia Senator Keller Objects to The Star in Assembly And Senate Concurs in His Request THE NEGRO AND THE RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD. More than fifty years ago the Appomatox Court House in the commonwealth of old Va. General Robt. E. Lee the greatest soldier of the confederacy, delivered his sword in military surrender to U. S. Grant, his only military compeer of the whole 19th century. The modesty of General Grant was emphasized in that instance by the military dignity of General Lee. The confederate states had been devastated by war. The black man and the white man had parted company at the plantation homestead. The one to take up arms at the front for corcible arbitrament of his construction of "the rights of the states" as provided by the fathers of the republic, the other to care for and protect as best he might, to cultivate, harvest and garner the necessary foodstuff for both laymen at home and soldiers at the front. Until the proclamation of the immortal Lincoln reached the Negro over the heads of both armies he remained faithfully upon the plantation keeping his side of the unwritten compact. In leaving his home for the union lines the Negro enacted no deeds of violence notwithstanding Lincoln's proclamation had made him the enthuisastic ally of the union forces. His enlistment in the union army brought him face to face with his former master on the line of battle. The historic instance at Appomatox left the Negro homeless and shelterless in a wilderness of despair, seized in ownership of no single foot of State Se Senator Keller Star in Assem Concurs Taking exceptions to a Negro paper eulogizing Negro Statesmen of re-construction days, Senator Keller of the State legislature now in session at Oklahoma City, at the beginning of the session of the Senate Monday morning, arose to a point of personal privilege and after denouncing the Tulsa Star for publishing an article portraying the valuable service of the Negro to his country, his statesmanship, etc., during the days of reconstruction, moved that all copies of the Star be removed from the desks of each Senator, that further issues of said paper be excluded from the Senate Chamber. The motion prevailed and hereafter the State Senators who may be counted in that class of men who are ever ready and willing to extend a helping hand to their brother in black and who are always anxious to learn of his progress, who are willing at all times to give the Negro credit there is due him (granting there are such men in the Senate) must be denied the privilege of reading The Tulsa Star every Saturday morning as has been their custom. Senator Keller as a new member of the State Senate from Love County, down on the border line of Texas. Judging from his hostile action against The Tulsa Star he is doubtless one of those born Southerners who can recognize some virtue in everything and everybody—except a Negro. There is a class of Southern white men who find their greatest glory in vilifying and abusing the Negro. When the would-be politicians of this class feels that he wants to attract public attention, especially when he is aware of his inability to cope with the great economic questions of the day, he invariably assails the Negro, and as a rule he can tell you more about the black man than the latter ever knew about himself—to let him tell it. It may be that the Senator is a native son of Mississippi and like some white men of that locality, would not concede that any Negro, however brilliant, was the peer of any white man, however benighted or dull. Drawing our own conclusions as to the temperment and disposition of the Senator from Love County and missing the expressed opinion of that honorable gentleman for whatsoever it may or may not be worth, we are somewhat surprised at the concurrence of the Senate of the great State of Oklahoma in this unique, not to say unusual and unfair method of denounce- THE NEGRO AND THE RE More than fifty years ago the commonwealth of old Va.

The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma TULSA, OKLAHOMA. SATURDAY, JANUARY 24 1915. ing a newspaper for its exercise of its constitutional guarantee of free speech. The article which seems to have occasioned such great displeasure was both in conception and intention innocent of offense in any and every direction whatsoever, The Star, a Negro newspaper, simply desired to present the merits of a Negro man who was in the dark days of reconstruction, and is today, because of his sagacious statesmanship, a credit not only to his race, but to the great state of Mississippi and to the genius and possibilities of our institutions of government. John R. Lynch, the subject of the editorial which gave unintended offense, was born in Natchez, Miss., was emancipated by Lincoln's proclamation, conquored the secrets of the text books and had himself graduated from the law; was speaker of the house during reconstruction, was elected twice to the American Congress from the so called "Shoe String" district in Mississippi. served efficiently in the house as a colleague of the late martyred Wm. McKinley, receiving the plaudit of that great president and was appointed by him Pay Master in the U. S. Army and is now a retired officer with rank of Major and Majors pay. While the Star is aversed to encourage vaulting political ambition in the younger Negro, preferring to see them till the soil and turn their attention to useful industry, yet we deem it our mission, our binding duty to hold up to them as an example worthy of emulation, the life works and achievements of such Negro men as John R. Lynch. In thus defending our position the Star disclaims all animous. On the contrary we are thankful to the Senate for this universal celebrity which perhaps the Star could never have obtained in any other way—a distinction which certainly no other Negro paper, and we doubt any white paper has ever received in the United States. In our anxiety to find justification of the alleged offensive charge we have submitted the editorial in question to many prominent white men of this city, some of them former members of the State legislature, but none of them round anything which in their opinion justified the heroic action of the Senate. We reprint the editorial below for the information of our readers and respectfully request a second reading and reconsideration of the hostile attitude of the State Senate: --- "No cottage did he possess, no foot of land in all that wilderness" He had only earths green carpet for his bed and heavens cerulean sky for his roof. Therefore, former master and former slave both went intuitively back again in these changed conditions to their plantation homes. It has been said of those days of reconstruction tripping immediately upon the heels of the civil war that the general government at Washington had for purposes of tantalization and moral and political torture placed the government of those states into the hands of former slaves adventures, the latter known in common parlance as "carpet baggers." This accusation is only in part if at all true. It is to be remembered that the government was almost altogether without loyal friends and supporters in that section. The Negro was then as in every other instance where he has been trusted in matters of private or public policy, almost the only loyal friend at the South upon whom the government of the United States could rely. It must be remember also that the undisputed valor of the confederate soldiers had been whipped into submission at Appomatax, but had never been conquored into surrender or abandonment of their opinion. There stands today in the respective states where Negroes at that time had political control, much valuable legislation, many valuable laws enacted by them which even their most diligent political foes have seen no just cause to repeal. For example the Statutes in the state of Mississippi upon finance, education and many features of taxation enacted by the reconstruction legislature, of which her Negro son, Hon. John R. Lynch, the peer of any Mississippian, however eminent, was the speaker, remain unrepealed until this present day. And what is true of the statutes of the state of Mississippi is equally true of several of the respective considerate states. Congressman Madden Defends The Negro In U. S. Congress Illinois Man Reminds Congressional Colleagues of Race's Loyalty to The Nation and Defeats Amendment land. It is certainly gratifying to the colored people of America to know that there are men in Congress who are courageous enough to fearless champion their cause. Recently when some of the rabid minded Southern democrats sought to humiliate the Negro race by passing a nefarious amendment to the general immigration bill, there was at least one white man in congress who appreciated the Negro for his true worth and his fidelity to his country. That man was Congressman Madden from Illinois. We here publish an extract from his speech against the amendment: "Mr. Speaker, beginning on line 8, page 8, of H. R. R. 6060, the Immigration Bill, passed by the House at the last session of Congress and reported to the House from the Senate on Tuesday, provides— "That after four months from the approval of this act, in addition to the aliens who are by law now excluded from addmission into the United States, the following persons also be excluded from admission thereto, to-wit: All members of the African or black race." "This language would seem to make it impossible for a Negro, a citizen of the United States, to reenter this country if he happened to be abroad for any reason. "This is the most drastic legislation I have even seen proposed. It is discrimination of a kind that can not be justified. "Mr. Speaker, the possession of power should be used with great care. We never ought to use power unjustly. Men who have power can afford to be just. It would be unjust beyond measure to adopt this amendment to the immigration law. One-tenth of the American people are of the black race, and no people in all the world's history has ever been more loyal to a Government than have these people to this. (Applause.)" "No other race numbering 10,000." 000 of the nation's population would submit to the indignities that have been imposed upon these people. Underway 10 suzizipua supupeus sup apica of African blood would be excluded from the right to return to America's shores. They have lived here for 250 years. They did not come here of their own accord. They have fought in every battle in which the nation has been engaged. They have given their life blood for the preservation of the Union; they have fought at New Orleans with Gen. Jackson, and in the Civil War 350,000 of these men volunteered that the Nation might be saved. They fought in 449 engagements, and left 35,000 on the field of battle, in order that we here today might live in a country protected by a single flag. (Applause.)

The McPuffin funeral was especially noticeable for its floral offerings which amounted to more than $18.00. The following friends sent their respects: Mr. Fred Parchman, Miss Estella Gandy and W. E.

Dear Co-Workers and Friends: The Oklahoma State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs now have a bill before the legislature asking for the establishment of a State Training School or Reformatory for wayward and incorrigible Negro boys and girls. We are earnestly requesting the help and co-operation of all Club women of the State, in securing its passage. As is well known, we now have no place in the State, for the care and training of our wayward youth, consequently many of our boys and girls who might be trained into useful men and women, are drifting into those forms of crime which will ultimately make them confirmed criminals, a disgrace to the race and a menance to society. We are asking the assistance of not only the Club women, but of every worth while organization in the State We earnestly solicit the help of the Ministerial Alliance, the Fraternal Orders, the Commercial Clubs, the Medical and Bar Associations and any others who might feel inclined. We trust that the clubs and these organizations will, as a body, write letters to each Senator and Representative from your district, setting forth the great need of such an institution and urging them to support the bill. We also trust that each will make as great personal effort as possible. We are trying to bring every influence to bear upon the members of the Assembly, and if we would receive the consideration from them, which we hope to do it will mean the concerted action of our people all over the State. Please give this matter your earnest consideration and pray for our success. Yours for "Lifting as we Climb." MRS. H. H. P. JACOBSON.

LULL IN FIGHTING AT SOUSSONS RENEWAL OF FIERCE CLASH IN WEST IS IMMINENT, Eastern Conflict Without Decision; Turks Army Again Re- treating. Fondon.—Tho omission from the German official report of any refer ence to Solssons, some of the recent marked German success, and the French statement that there has been no change in that region leads to the belief that a renewal of the violent struggle there is impending, the tem: porary quiet being due to the. fact that neither side cares to risk an offensive in the present circumstances, At widely eeparated points else where on the western front there have been engagements, but the weather again is playing an important part, ‘The storm in Belgium prevents oper ations, except artillery duels and snow in the Vosges at the other extremity of the line, makes attacks exceedingly dificult, In the Argonne, however, fighting {s almost continuous and each side ‘claims minor successes. For the time being, the Germans seem to be more on the offensive than the defensive. ‘The German reports of all the east- ern operations are very brief, but ‘those of the Russians are more in de- tail and it is believed the Russians are again menacing East Prussia and Posen. The Turks, according to reports, have been dealt another staggering ‘blow after their determined stand in ‘the snow at Kara Urgan, in the Cau- asus. They are fighting rear guard actions, but are being pressed back toward Erzerum in great disorder. ‘The Turkish garrison at Adrianople, the partial withdrawal of which pre- viously was reported, now has with- drawn completely, according to an Athens dispatch which gives no ex- planation, The London papers print a forecast appearing in the Paris Figaro that Italy, Greece, Roumania and Bulgaria will join the allies, but there is noth- ing more definite relative to this turn of affairs than there was a fortnight ago, Bayonet Decisive Factor, Characteristic fighting is going on in northern France where the village of La Boisselle, twenty miles to the northeast of Amiens, was taken from ‘the French by the Germans and later ‘recaptured by the French. At this point there has been much work with ‘the bayonet. A French ammunition depot blew up and part of the build- Angs wero destroyed by fire. ‘The Ger- ‘mans taking advantage of this inci- ‘dent attacked the French with the ‘steel and drove them to positions be- ‘yond, In a fierce counter-attack some ‘hours later the French recaptured the position, In Galicia the Prussians have suc- ceeded to the east of Zakliczyn in forcing the Russians to evacuate their trenches for several miles, Nowhere word has been received regarding the operations of the Russian forces in Kirlibaba pass, through which they expected to carry their aggressive campaign into Hungary, but Vienna reports that in the Carpathians only patrol skirmishes have occurred, ‘The Prussian losses in the war as disclosed in 136 lists according to a Vienna dspatch number 877,107.

The part the American Negro has performed and his invaluable and unrequited contribution to the material wealth and develop- ment of the American republic, as well as the continent itself, sel- dom, if ever, receives even passing notice. For more than 250 years he toiled, felling the forest, redeeming the lagoone, building the towns and cities, without reward nor hope of reward. Indeed, he was cruelly driven like a beast of burden. This thought is in- duced in view of the sordid, not to say heartless ingratitude of the men and their dwendents who wrenched from him his liberty. Following the long debate in the United States Senate with its manifold provisos, impossible concessions, came civil war. In that strife the tranquility, self- and native faithfulness of the American Negro was demonstrated without parallel in history. There was not a single day nor hour during the war for the life of the union in which the American Negro could not have ended that war in a single nights massacre. The success of the confederacy meant the perpetuation of that most inhuman of all human slavery, The confederate soldier was compelled to entrust the safety and protection of his women, his aged and helpless ones, to his Negro slaves. Indeed the confederate army was literally dependent for the provender which sustained both man and beast, at the front upon the unestrauned inenations of the slaves left at home on the mmntutious. uw strange! Indeed the history of those dark and bloody days aves not record a single instance of the vile onslaught of a-single Negro upon the safety and virtue of a single white wo- man of the former confederate states. Again, how unexcelled, how unequaled and unparalelled the factleasness and ingratitude of any exconfederate who stands aucta wode~ in the open incited by unreasoning race prejudices in false denuciation. or allows the same to be done in his presence, ot the American Negro. , The Great Wesiern Hotel Oe Colored A la Carte Dining Room, First Class Accomodations Hack meets all trains, We invite our friends and the general traveling public to visit us when in Sapulpa, E.

He is now of age, but up to the time of the filing of the suit no offer to settle had been made by his father. The sheep were sold for $143,000, and he figured the cost of their upkeep at $20,000, leaving $123,000 «= the sum due him.

In 1788 John Ward, an English theatrical manager, opposed a match between his daughter and a member of his company, not wishing her to marry an actor. He finally gave consent, however, consoling himself with the thought that the young man was not much of an actor. In this he was mistaken, for the young man, whose name was Roger Kemble, not only succeeded well in his profession, but became the founder of a family that is remarkable in the annals of the English stage. Twelve children were born to the couple, of whom eight reached maturity; and every one of the eight made some effort on the stage. The oldest child, Sarah, became the renowned Mrs. Biddons. The oldest son, John Phillip, was probably the greatest actor of his day, and was known as "the great Kemble." The eleventh child, Charles, was a renowned comedian, while his daughter, Fanny Kemble, was probably the best known to the public of all the family. Her sister, Adelaide, attained considerable popularity as a public singer. Her son married the daughter of General Grant. Copyright, 1911, by Joseph B. Bowling. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS ‘This question {s frequently asked and but seldom given a rational, intelll- gent, satisfactory answer. Possibly it ought to be changed to read thus: What shall the Negro do with him. self? Not a few Negroes are answer- ing the question in this form and in very satisfactory fashion, too. In- stance the Negroes who have been building up the town of Boley, Okla., and its surrounding section. There is an Sllustration of the successful and suggestive working out of the self- fegregation idea, It has been de- seribed and commented on by the Southern Workman: “Boley, Okla., Is the largest Negro city in the United States. It fs sur- rounded by some of the richest land in the world and has in its neighbor- hood most valuable mines of coal and wells of oll. Recently it was the scene of Joyous activity when Dr. Booker T. Washington and some 400 delegates to the National Negro Bust- ness league came to its eltizens from Muskogee, through Okmulgee, Boyn- ton and Clearview, where Negroes are succeeding in farming, in cattle rais- ing, in mining, in the ofl and gas fields and in storekeeping. “Boley was founded in 1904 by Thomas M. Hayes of Texas In the rolling prairle land on the Fort Smith & Western railroad between Deep Fork and North Canadian rivers, and is in the heart of a vast region capa- ble of producing such diversified crops as corn, wheat, cotton, potatoes, alfalfa, apples, peaches, grapes, ber. ries and the common garden vege tables, i “This Negro town 1s ‘making good. ‘Today it has over eighty business con: cerns, an electric lighting plant, ef! cient waterworks, two banks, several attractive churches, a high school worth over $15,000, a normal and in- dustrial school supported by the C. M. F. chureh, flourishing fraternal orders, @ Masonic temple of the Oklahoma ju risdiction worth $35,000, a telephone system, several cotton gins, a cham: ber of commerce, a city hall, a Ne- gro station agent and a Negro news paper, From 15,000 to 20,000 people lve in the region surrounding Boley—3,000 are in the township of Boley and 1,300 are in the city of Boley. Here, then, fs the beginning—really an excellent beginning—of a demonstration in Ne gro city building which will be watched closely by those who are in terested in the Negro as a factor in business, “The people of Roley, all of whom are Negroes, have shown rare pluck in going into a new country and doing together what most people said Ne groes never could do—exercise initia tive and judgment in building up bust ness enterprises apart from white men. They have won their presen success by making their lot one witl the man on the farm, “Boley is in many ways a substan tial evidence of the ambition, thrif and capacity of the Negro who take’ life more serlously than the averag: man of the race and is not interferes with by unwise friends or out-and-ou enemies, Boley reflects credit 01 Mr. Haynes and his coworkers. | gives promise of great things, 1 ought to be better known by youns doubting Negroes, especially city Ne groes, Who are dissatisfied with thel Jot and are ignorant of what the Sout and the Southwest offer in golden oj portunities for the sober, bard-worl ‘The Negro Year Book, 1914-115, has Just been Issted from the Tuskegee institute, Alabama, Monroe N.

Bragg, Jr., in a communication to the Living Church. Organized congregations to the num- ‘ber of 233, within 63 dioceses and mis- sionary districts, report 23,706 colored communicants, They are distributed as follows: | The province of New England: In ‘two dioceses and five congregations, ‘there are 1,413 communicants, The province of New York and New Jersey: In six dioceses 19 con- grogations, 4,439 communicants, The province of Washington: In nine dioceses, 63 congregations, 6,432 communicants. The province of Mid-West: In eight dioceses, 15 congregations, 2,318 com- municants ‘The province of Southwest: In eight dioceses, 18 congregations, 1,189 com- municants ‘The province of California: In two dioceses, two congregations, 222 com- municants. ‘The combined colored communteant lists in the entire states of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Ten: nessee, Arkansas and Texas amount to just 266 more communicants than are reported by the single colored par- ish of St. Philip's church, New York. It would certainly seem that the church needs the “Racial Episcopate,” or something else, which promises bet ter results than the machinery we have tried for a whole half century. Here 1s the real thing which tests the catholicity of the church, Steps taken to improve facilities for the education of the Negro are summarized in an installment just made public of the forthcoming re- port of the general educational board. Assistance is shown to have been given what the board alludes to as some of the more efficient of the in- dustrial training schools as follows: Hampton institute, $138,000; Tuske- gee, $196,912; other institutions, $85, 384, making a total of approximately $568,780, To provide for higher education of Negrces, contributions have been made ‘to colleges and universities as fol ‘lows: Atlanta Baptist college, $5,000; Atlanta university, $8,000; Fisk univer sity, $70,000; Lane college, $7,000; Le: land university, $2,000; Livingstone college, $12,500; Mines Memorial col lege $5,000; Paine college, $6,000; Shaw university, $18,000; and Vir ginia Union university, $11,500, to tal, $144,000, ‘That the men of the Negro race are strongly averse to taking their own lives as a way out of this world of woe is proved most conclusively by the suicide and attempted suicide records of Houston for the past five months. Bichloride of mercury tablets have no fascination for him and all other forms of poison are classed in the “don’t touch” list. On the other hand, the women of the Negro race are not so prone to take solace in the carbolic acid bottle 4s are the women of the white race, and in following the statistics still further it is shown by the records that there are fewer attempts at suicide by women of the white race than by men, —Houston (Tex.)

C.—Mrs. Thomas Davis, of this place, says: “About two years -@go, when I was eighteen years old, | was in a bad condition from womanly troubles. I fell off until I weighed not more than 86 Ibs, > I suffered dreadful pains in my hips, sides and abdomen, for about 6 days out of every month. I couldn't sleep at night, and the Pains were so dreadful I couldn't lie down for the blood would seem to Tush to my head. I felt I must have some relief, for ft seemed that the awful suffering would surely kill me. I had read of what Cardut had done for others, and thought I would try it After the use of one bottle, the pains had entirely stopped and I was able to sleep. After using four bottles, I was a well woman, I was regular, I got back my flesh, and I now weigh 126 Ibs.; and am able to do all my work with: out any trouble, I certainly recommend Cardut to suffering women, for I know it cured me. My friends who saw me when 1 weighed 85 pounds and would see me now, would know what Cardul had dono for me.” Try Cardul.—Adv. Proved Employer's Contention. A young fellow, the son of a wealthy man, was engaged in some clerical ca- pacity by a friend of his father in or- der to try to make something of him. He was, however, shiftless to the last degree and nothing he said could be relied upon. One day his employer called him into his private office and gave him a sound lecture. He dwelt chiefly on his prevarication and wound up by saying: “You know, James, that you are al- ways lying” “Sir,” sald James, “I would have you remember that I am a gentleman!” “There you go again,” sald his em: ployer. His Whereabouts. A minister who recently called upon @ young widow to condole with her on the loss of her husband placed con- siderable emphasis upon the fact that ‘the separation was only of a tem: “porary character, and painted in vivid colors the happiness of friends re. united after death. When he stopped for breath the sorrowing one heaved @ deep sigh, and quietly remarked: “Well, I suppose his first wife has got him again, then.” BIG EATERS HAVE BAD KIDNEYS AND BACKACHE Take a Glass of Salts at Once If Your Back Is Hurting or Kidneys and Bladder Trouble You. ‘The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trou- ble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich, Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliml- native tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health, When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu- matism when the weather {s bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kid- neys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes ‘and lemon juice, combined with thia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer {s a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time.—Adv.

RAGSDALE & SONS, Prop. + Day Phone 746 Night Phone 291 Muskogee, Oklahoma ESTIMATE DEAD AND {N- JURED: FIFTY THOUSAND TWENTY TOWNS ARE LAID IN VAST WASTE Avezzano Destruction is Complete and the Number Dead at This Point is Now Estimated at 15,000--King: Heads Refief Work fap i AI ch ac cada es Diesen un ie ie any in the great earthquake that has swept over central and southern Italy last ‘week has not yet been made up, but all advices reaching Rome indicate the ever-growing extent of the dis- aster, which is probably greater than the one in Messina. ‘Towns with thousands of inhabitants have been overthrown and from some of these come details which show an immense loss of life. The estimates vary from 25,000 to 50,000 dead and injured, and yet there are several sec- tions, which undoubtedly felt the earthquake in full measure, from which no estimates can be obtained. In the ancient territory of Marst, which includes Avezzano, the victims are placed at 20,000, Only a small minority is left of the inhabitants of Avezzano, who numbered approxi- mately ten thousand, Fifteen other towns and villages in that section have been laid waste. King Victor Emmanuel is on the scene at Avezzano and 30,000 soldiers have been dis- patched to various centers where the force of the disturbance was greatest. Italy as a nation has risen again to give succor as she did at the time of the Messina earthquake six years ago, to those who have fallen in this latest catastrophe from which the country has suffered. Demolished or partly demolished towns did that part of Italy from Naples northward to Ferrara and crosswise the peninsula from the ‘Tyrrhenian to the Adriatic sea, Thousands of dead lie beneath the mounds of debris which once were dwellings, churches and public insti: tutions which crumbled under the earth’s vibrations. Not even an estimate of the aggre: gate fatalities is yet obtainable, as numerous places are still isolated ow- ing to the severance of telegraphic, telephonic and railroad eommunica tion, It is known, however, that Avezzano Is a necropolis and that alsa in Sora, some twenty-five miles to the southeast, a large number of lives were lost, In Avezzano and vicinity i is estimated tnat 15,000 perished and that the dead in Sora, will total 1,000. So far as is Known about twenty towns have been absolutely leveled while an almost equal number suffere¢ serious damage. In all these places persons were killed or injured. In the Lateran palace, especially that part occupied by the museum the earthquake caused cracks of suf cient size to permit outside light t penetrate the building, The hall o the chamber of deputies likewise wa: cracked, . Oldest Teutonic Church Damaged. Among other edifices damaged wer the churches of St. Andria Fratte an: St. Agatha of the Goths, the latte’ being the oldest church of Teutoni origin in Rome. It {s announced officially that thi center of the earthquake was betweer Campobasso and Sarno and that | was felt strongly at Perugia an slightly as far north as Ferrara, ‘The town of Profis is reported t have been half destroyed. At Giulian two persons were killed. At the meteorological institute it 1 sald that buildings containued to roc or tremble for about thirty second after he shock had ceased and tha the duration of the phenomenon alt« gether was about one minute, It wa stated it was not believed the di turbance extended to Sicily. _ £80 BROCK WES WO SUONECSL AUS has felt in more than a hundred years, ‘The town of Avezzano, in the Abruzzi department, sixty-three miles east of Rome, has been leveled to the ground; here 8,000 persons are reported to have been killed. In many small towns surrounding Rome buildings were partially wrecked, while at Naples a panic occurred, and houses fell at Caserta, a short distance to the east. From below Naples in the south to Ferrere in the north, a distance of more than 300 miles, and across al- most the width of the country the un- dulatory movement began at 7:55 o'clock in the morning and lasted from 22 to 80 seconds, In the capital itself so far as known there was no loss of life, but a great deal of damage was done, churches and statues suffering most. Most ,of the people were stricken with fear and there was a veritable panic in the hos- pitals, monasteries and convents. The buildings on both sides of the Porta del Poppolo, the north entrance to Rome, threatened to fall and the eagle decorating the gate crashed to the ground, The obelisk in St. Peter's square was shaken and badly dam- aged, while the statue of St, John Lat- eran and the statues of the Apostles surmounting the Basilica are in dan- ger of collapsing. The famous colon- nade decorating St, Peter's square was lowered four feet while the adjacent house, once occupied by the Sisters of Pope Pius X., was badly wrecked, Owing to the wide extent of the dis- |turbance and the terrible conse quence, the actual effects of the earth- quake are not at present known, ow- Jing to the cutting off of communica: | tions. The fortified city of Aquila has Jin this way been cut off, but it is re- | ported several villages in that region were destroyed. Likewise, Potenza, capital of the province of the same |name, on the eastern dectivity of the Apennines, which has a population of '|nearly 20,000, has been isolated. In |1857 this town was almost destroyed ‘|by an earthquake. ‘| ‘There was confusion throughout the | whole of Rome during the undulations. |In some cases it amounted to terror J and bordered on panic. The telephone | was resorted to by great numbers of || people at virtually the same time in endeavors to ascertain the safety of ‘| relatives and friends, and then to learn the extent of the damage to the | elty. || Several street car lines suspended 'Joperations because of the damages ,| caused by the earthquake. ‘The last serious earthquake in the "| Rome district occurred July 19, 1899, | Rome, Frascati, Marino and other ;| towns on the Alban hills felt the shock Jand many buildings were damaged but there was no loss of life, Farther south in Italy and in Sicily, however earthquakes are frequent and very se- s| vere, Great loss of life and heavy 1| damage to property have occurred tt -| these regions. ;| Avezzano, the town from which the greater number of casualties has beer ,| reported as the result of the earth { quake, Hes in the province of Aguila {| in the Abruzzi department, sixty-thre¢ {| miles east of Rome, and a short dis "tance from the base of Mount Velino It is an ancient town and had a popu >| lation of some 10,000. One of the well >| preserved buildings there was the tow ered castle built by Gentile Virging s|Orsino in 1490, Most of the towns in «| which damage has been done are sit s|uated virtually in the heart of Italy ‘|The country in the province of Romé land the department of the Abruzzi is s| mostly mountainous, but thickly pop +| ulated.

New Hampshire has at last erected a memorial to the only president she has ever had. In one legislature after another the bills to provide a statue of Franklin Pierce have been intro- duced aud defeated, It 1s the irony of fate that the very things which made him president and so: eligible ‘as the subject of a statue prevented ‘his native state from thus honoring him. He became president by favor ‘of the South and his gratitude im- ‘pelled him to a course of action on the eve of war which made him an ‘exile from his own home thenceforth. "Chicago Daily News. | He Knew! The teacher was giving the geog- raphy class a lesson on the cattle ranches. She spoke of their beef all coming from the West, and wishing to test the children’s observation, she asked: “And what else comes to us from these ranches?” That was a poser. She looked at her shoes, but no one took the hint. She tried again: “What do we get from the cattle besides beef?” One boy eagerly raised his hand. “I know what it is. It’s tripe!” he announced.—Youth's Companion. Girls! Beautify Your Hair!
