ALL THE LIVING 10 BE REMOVED Italian Government Issues Instructions. | CARED FOR ELSEWHERE Tents on Board United States Supply Ship Culgoa Will Be Used for Shel- tering Earthquake Refugees in “Camps—Parliament to Make Pro vision for the Repopulation of the Destroyed Cities. Rome, Jan. /[—Every hour now sees progress in bringing crder into the earthquake district and system 'lnto the work of relief. The govern- ment has instructed Lieutenant Gen- eral Francesco Mazza, commander of the province, to remove temporarily all the living in the destroyed citles and towns so that they may be prop- erly cared for. The tents which the American supply ship Culgoa is un derstood to be bringing will be most welcome for sheltering the survivors in camps. The Italian war depart | ment also is sending large quantities of field equipment for use in bivow acking in the open. The repopulation will be through survivors proving their rights to prop- erty under special enactments which parliament will be asked by the cab- inet to pass at the extraordinary sit: tings called for Friday and Saturday. The cabinet meets daily under the presidency of Premier Glolitti. It is proposed to ask parliament to in- crease the tax on buildings by $360,- 000. The rigid measures that the au- thorities are enforcing in the quake reglon cause considerable complaint, especially in Reggio, where it is af- firmed large relief expeditions consist- ing of soldlers, doctors and carpen- ters were obliged to wait aboard ves- sels in the roadstead for twenty-four hours before being allowed to disem- bark. The administration of relief in the Calabrian district has been un- able, on account of the bad condition of the roads, to deliver food to vari- ous villages from fitteen to twenty miles in the interior. Couriers have brought to Reggio urgent appeals for help for the repopulation of these towns, who are starving. TRADE LOST BY DISASTER Messina a Heavy Purchaser of Durum Wheat, uluth, Jan. [.—Messina was one of thé biggest durum wheat markets of the old world, according to Ward Ames, president of the Ames-Brooks company of Duluth. The wheat was used in the manufacture of macaroni, which was sold throughout Europe. Duluth, Chicago and Minneapolis were all heavy exporters of durum wheat and Messina was one of their chief markets. This trade has been de- stroyed by the earthquake, but local shippers have heard nothing yet of the wheat that they had in transit. W. J. ONAHAN IS MISSING Former Chicago Banker Last Heard From Near Messina. Chicago, Jan. /—Anxiety for the safety of W. J. Onahan, the former Chicago banker, was increased by the receipt of a cablegram staiing that Mr. Onahan was last heard from at Taornima, Sicily, an hour’s ride from Messina. Since then there is no trace of him. Mr. Onahan was a close friend of Archbishop Ireland and crossed the Atlantic with the latter, who was on a visit to Rome. Dogs a Menace at Messina. Messina, Jan. [—Dogs now consti- tute one of the dangers to the earth- quake refugees. These animals, starv- ing and often rabid through lack of water, gnaw the corpses like hyenas and frequently attack the refugees themselves. Among the wounded who left for Palermo was a young man ‘whose eyes and right cheek had been horribly mutilated by dogs. Battleships Sail for Naples. Port Said, Jan. .—The battleships Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota and Vermont, the detachment of the At- lantic fleet which is to aid the Italian earthquake refugees, has left here for Naples. Upon their arrival Admiral Sperry will place the vessels at the disposal of the authorities. General Cotton Dies Suddenly. ‘Washington, Jan. .—General John B. Cotton, formerly assistant attorney general of the United States and a prominent member of the Washing- ton bar, died suddenly at his home in this city. General Cotton was born in Woodstock, Conn,, Aug. 3, 1841. He was assistant attorney general during Harrison’s administration from 1889 to 1893. Bound for Fort Snelling. Newport News, Va, Jan.

Laet a candle burn until it has a good long snuff, then blow it out with a sudden puff. A bright wreath of white smoke will curl up from the hot wick. Now, If a flame be applied to this smoke, even at a distance of two or three inches from the candle, the flame will run down the smoke and rekindle the wick In a very fantastic manner. To perform this ceremony nicely there must be no draft or “banging” doors You are invited. while the mystic spell is rising. ” 20 ‘per cent dis= \ count on all War- Purses at big savings.
