Wandering Dazed and Mad in the Streets, MESSINA STRAITS ALTERED AND TWISTED Roms, Dec.29.\u2014Stuoned.at the x tnagiitade of the calamity, which has overtaken fellow-countrymen, all Italy mourns to-night for the stricken province of Calabria and the Island of Bidlly.Accustomed for centuries to carthquakes, Itsly stands ever in dread, but none was prepared for the disaster which in the fraction of a wine yesterday devastated cities and {own and caused Lhe death of thou- - tends.Messina, whose tragic history .hos been marked by tidal waves and war, and which wan the centre of ves- terday's torrential mmelstrem was shaken to ruins.Flames burst forth to complete the city\u2019s destruction and to burn alive untold numbers, hel, lessly pinioned beneath fallen walls and broken timbers.The Strait of Messing was shaken and twisted hy tw earth's trembling, for mariners report the channel altered bevand re foguition.The ports and villages on both the continental and Sicilian sides wera wrecked or inundated and all lighthouses along the coasts were swallowed up.Navigation now is dangero us and in some places impossible.+ In the Calabrian district, which was only beginning to recover from the elects of the ecarthquake of 1908, Regvio was the centre of the earth\u2019s nphopved, The seaport of Reggio is reported as no longer existing and the city proper is in ruins.The loss of life on both sides of the strait and in eastern Sicily was enormous.One of the refugees from Reggio who was the firrt to bring the news of the city\u2019s destruction, tried to make his wav to Sicilv in n sail boat, but was com- pelied ta return and finally found | y.Majenty 5 : par nt a pemineula port.Ta deuri the vtrietm wilt suffice .Le said: ** sen | turned sharp! speaker .nos

was in flames, In the frenty of despair 1 tugped my boat back to Calabria.\u201d Starving, blesding from iniuriss and almost inrane from their terrifvine ex- neriences, Messina's survivors are flee fnz in all directions, abandoning hun dreds of their fellow citisens to their fate, imprisoned in the wreckage of tumbling buildings.One of those who escaped raid: \u201cThe earth seemed sud- denlv te drop and then turn violently on its axis.The whole population who practically wera precipitated from the houses vent in twain, were spun sound like tons as thev ran through the streets.Mans fell crushed to death and others, bewildered, taok refuge for breath beside the tottering walls, where they soot met the fate of their sompanions.\u201d Already British and Russian squed- rou have arrived at Messima.Sailors marines have been disembarked and they have preformed courageous acts in rescuing the injured and removing the wounded.A larve number: of survivors have heen transferred to the warships, which are transformed into great.floating homitals.It is imperative that the dead be removed from the ruins in order to avoid a pestilence.Steamers with doctors, druggists, firemen and workmen hive arrived at Messina from Calania and + other places.Brecial dematohen received here from Calabria confirms the destruction of gio.Thoy report that the aitua- tion there is as bad as.if not worse than, at Neasina.The mreets in Roma are jammed with neonle.who snatch the special editions from the news boys.The peonle are plunged in grief and lamentations are heard on all sider.Here and there one asks another, \u201cwhen will end this awful repetition of devastation and death in our country?\u201d The hands of ali the nations have bern extended to Îtalv in her afflie- \u2018ton.From rulers imve come messages of condolence, and from the neonle\u2019s vnontaneous nromime of that aid which brings the world closer torether in times of grat culamity, Great Brie tain, France and Russia have ent fheir warshios, quick as the flash of the telesraph could carrv the orders, ta tend andsfances to the eiricken Cities.Relief funds have nlreadv been élarted and ® an hundred shins and trains

from all quarters of the globe.At the time of the earthquake the torpedo boat Sapho was lying in the harbor at Messing and one of the officers told of the oocurrences as follows: \u2014\u201cAt halt five in the morning the sea su ly became terribly aggitated, seemingly literally to piok up our boat and it.Other craîts nearby were similarly treated and the ships looked like bits of cork hobbing about in a tempest.Almost immediately a tidal wave of huge proportions swept across the strait, mounting the coasts and oarrying everything before it.Scores of ship were démaged and the Hungarian mail boat Andrassy parted her anchors and went crashing into other vessels.Messina Bay was wipsd out and the sea was soon covered wh masses of wreckase which was carried off in the arms of the receding waters.\u201d Fight sailors from the Sapho wers landed and took up the work of re- wcue.Officers and men from Italian and British steamers also went ashore as soon as possible, the Britishers saving a family of five who were imprisoned in a burning house.Many prisoners from the ails made their escape and looted right and left.Hundreds engaged in the work of robbing the banks and business houses.In the opinion ol the officers ol the Sapho half of the population of Messina peru .King Victor Emmanuel and the Queen reached Naples to-night and prococded at > at Sicily.A large number peo) saw their majerties depart from Rome, and one among.al number of deputies at the station ob- | rerved to the King: \u2018The presence of | console King.| so changed as to cause apprehension of serions commercial and strategic dil- ficulties.Tt is believed that navigation has become extremely danger- \u2018 aue, in which case the fortifications on which the government in recent years spent large mums will be useless.The famous whirlpool i Charybdis.it is said, has shifted its position.Desperate calls have been made from Rome to Messina, but those remain unanswered, and fears are enterfained that Fort Spuria, near Messina, hes been destroyed.One hundred thourand dead; Messinain Sicily, and Regefo, and a score of other towns in southern Italy over whelmed; the entire Calabrian region laid waste: thin is the earthquakes #0 far as it in at present mown from the rts that are coming slowly into on account of the almost complete destruction of lines of comm tion to the stricken places.The death list in Messina ranges from 12.000 to 80.000; that of | Reggio, with its adjacent villages, | numbered 45.000 poople, includes almost the.entire population.At Palmi 1,000 are reported dead: at Cassano 1,000; at Coseaza 500, and bal of the population of Bagbara, ebout four thousand; the Montelcone region has been devasied, and Ripneto, Seminara, San Giovanni, Scilla, Lazzaro and Cannitello, and all other communes and villages bordering on the straits are in ruins.The King and Queen of Italy are now on their way to Messina, having sailed to-night from Naples, aboard the battleship Vittero Emmanuela.The Pope has shown tho greatest distress at the calamity and he himself was lient to contribute, a sum emounting to $200,000 to the relid of the afflicted.British, French and Russian warships are steaming towards the south.and already several of the ships of Great Britain and Russia have reached Sicily, Officers and men of these shipa have performed beroic sere vices io the work of rescue.it ie feared that many foreigmers have hean killed, as an number.of the hotels al Messina, and doubtless at other places, were crowded with tours ints, Little is known of the (ate the

The New York World has à short but gloomy article on the present prospecta of New York as a shipping port lor grain based om the proessd.ings of a meeting recently bold ia Konuth Brooklyn where, amongst other things.it was stated that between the of a sincere desire to sup press the opium trafic, and the iuter- uational congress.to be held at Shaver \u2018hai at the beginning of 1908, should be able 0 render them further ne sistance to this end.The British Government have, at great sacrifice, eso onded the efforts of China, and it is to be boxed that nothing will occar in China to defeat the measures which ara in progress for the suppression of the evil, and to further the spread of education.Nothing ban had eo stroog a re (arding power against education and the modernising of the land of countless millions as the use of opius, forced upon them by treaties.The habit has grown to auch a feartul extent that the intellect of the great and che lowly has bes dulled : happily all this is to be removed, and (here is not likely to he a retrograde policy.: There are districts in China where offorts are being made to evade the imperial edict, snd it is sated that vich victime of the habit have laid in enough of the noxious deug to last for many years.On theother hand there are otber parts of the great empire in which an honest attempt is being made Lo reduce the aren of cultivation, and it is estimated that in these the poppy will be an unknown Hower inside of five instead of tem years.It bas long been apparent that the quantity of opium hitherto imported into Hong Kong has been largely in excess of its own requirements, and that by far the largest portion has heen illicitly imported into China.The British Government have now, with «reat disintecestednesa, rendered this illegal, and further have made com- cation ol the trenties which forred the extranted from it will be consumed.The treaties being withdrawn, and the growing of the crop prohibited, it looks as though civilization would speedily SAD FOR THE BOYCOTT.The recent judicial desision in Washington.es & result of which the labop Isaders way find themselves in jail, ie based upon the relusel of those met shle aon to be guided by en injusction iesusd by the courts.In à few words he story can be told.The labor world was at issue with & mannfacturing firra où the subject of the aumber of work and produce the goods the sale of the goods can be stopped by threats against the business men who sell the goods and the citisees who buy them.This is an interference with the rights of thé people that passes far be- vond anything so far attempted.If it is legal it will \u2018introduce a new factor into the labor dispute, and will make it very difficult for anyone to conduct business nave under such conditions as may be dictated by Mr.Gompers or Mr, Mitchell.Most probably the boycott will be pronounced against.Ut does not seem possible that n measure no distinctly violating the right of people to make their living in the way that is most agreeable to them will stand the test of law.BOXES VERSUS BARRELS.Advices from Great Britain show the in teasing popularity of the bushel box\u2019 an & package for apples.It is favored an being more easily handled by ratailers than the three bushel barrel.The same is true of Canada.Apple growers could greatly increas their «lun in Toronto and other cities by shipping their fruit in well- parked boxes.The barrel in aa uwkward package to take into the average city house.When the barrel gets into the warm cellar its contents are apt to lose crispnena bifore all the fruit is caten.AI) these \u2018things tend to make ihe box more desirable than the barrel.In addition, boxes are probably the chaaper package of the two, amd they can be put to- gather by the (armer.and his axvist- ants during the slack searon.THE HAINS' CASE Flushing, N.Y., Dec.28.\u2014The defense cipal with hin brother, Captain Peter Haina returned to Jong

\u2018 ds WILL QUEBEC, WIN CHAMPIONSHIP?Hockey Team of the Ancient Capital Is Out for the Very Highest Honors, for the coveted honor.players of fame are concerned, the Wanderers, Ottawas and Shamrocks have done their bent to secure those who have made names for themselves in tbe great Canadian winter game.Little han been heard from the Ancient Capitel.No fabulous salaries have bsen offered hockey stars and no extravagant claims have been advanc- od as to the abilities of the players who will during the coming season uphold the homor of tie old rock city.no boasting in heard from this end of the circuit is easily accounted for.Quebec lias raised so many stars in various forms of sport that no ce credit is taken for placing in field those who are well qualifed to figure on the best teams that can be produced, whether hockey or la- cross.Many of those players, from one reason or another, have taken their departure from the land of their birth and now figure prominehtiy on the athletic records of otber and, perhaps, more favored cities.This does not, however, prevent Quebec from still placing on the ice a seven all of whom were born in Quebec and each of whom learned their hockey in the historic city.M has ever been one of the legitimate sources of pride that, with lew exceptions in its history, the team which han represented Québec in bacroswe, hockey or other games has always been a genuine Quebec one, and it is undoubtedly owing to this reason that the united rupport of the whole city has been at their backs.The present hockey season will be no exception to the rule.While the team which will this season strive to land the good old blue and white at the top of ihe heap is till in a nebulous state, it can at once unhesitatingly stated that every one of them will be a native born Que becer.From gosl to forward line, there is not one player who claims anywhere hut Juebec for bis birthplace.Paddy Moran, Artie Leader, Joe Power, Frorbie Jordan, Chubby kacket Power, Jos Malone and a whole host nf promising \u2018\u2018comers™ are ali to the \u201cmanor bom,\u201d and this perhaps more than say thing else explnins why Quebecers have always shown such a patriotic desire to sup port and forward the interests of its own real team.Power, Jack Macdonald, Eddie Hogan, | growing But will Queber win the championship?Why not?It has s crowd of devoted sons who are anxious bring the great honor to the of their birth.ite make-up, by patriotic feeling than by any the financial reasons which are to be found among fhe players on other teams.The ability, the clevorness and the heart are there.The Quebec team is to all and purposes an amateur one.While, perhaps, a few of the players receive nancig! remuneration, it is which they have to expend in the practices and travel incident to the game.The love of the old rock city and a jenlous regard for ite honor ere in their beasts.Why not?ice and perseverance will win the day.Why not ?BOB FITZSIMMONS

BOXER Former Heavyweight Champion Got into the Game in a Peculiar Manner.Tommy Burns, the heavyweight champion pugllist of the world, was born in Henover, Ontario, on June 17, 1681.Burne, whose real name is Noah Brusso, is of French and German parentowe, 80 fur the first time in the history of the ring we bave a worid'e hea + Fon who is not of English, Irish, or American descent.Par oie J he ful qui , owes it al C - game, lacrosse, of which he was so capable a devotes.Lecrosse held the lad and then the man in a close grip, »o t was his infatuation for it, but still be found time to win distinction at football skate Ing, swimming, diving, , ketball, and even \u2014truly an all round top notcher.; Burus got into the boxing game by merest accident ; be became a member of tbe Detroit Athletic Club, and soon afterwards, on the occasion of a ape- cial boxing night, offered to fill a vacancy made by an absent entrant, | and knocked out Fred Thormton ,in fve rounds.The die having been cast, Burns deférmined to be a pugilist, and see if he conld make money as well as reputation.Burns con tinued to win all his fights for the vext two vears, when he was matched with Mike Schreck of Cincinnati, Ohio, who was looked upon as the coming heavyweight champion.Bchreck and Burns fought on Nov.29, 1902, in Detroit, and Schreck was awarded the decision at the end of 10 rounds.It was then that Burns received his first defeat, and dropped out of the running with the top notchers.After fighting a few more third class men, winning, Burns went to Chicago, where hg secured a match with George Schrosbec, who had quite a reputation around there.He knocked Schrosbee out in the fifth round, and again sprang into promin- enve.On the strength of this win Burns secured another fight with Mike Schreck at Milwaukee, which was called a draw at The end of six roundg.Burns then went back to Chicavo, and was matched with Tony Caponi, a big strong tough Ital en, who had just defeated Schrosbee.This fight went six rounds to a draw, and os.it was a very mill = they were matched to Aght agein.At the end of six rounds Burns was awarded the decision.Burns then started for San Francisco, and on the way opt there had 4 fight, winning of them.Not securing anything on the coast, he went back to Milwaukee, and thers he was matched to Jack O\u2019Brien for six rounds, & of foolishness on his part, as O'Bri was about ihe fastest man in the country over the six romd route.O'Brien won this fight, and then Jack (\u201cTwin\u201d) Bullivan, whp was in Tacoms, thought Bums would be essy and offered to fight Burns 20 at Tacoms, Wash.Burns accepted, and tbe maich was made.At this time Sullivan one of the best men in the coun at his weight, but Burns\u2019 long = was the 20-round route, and long before the limit was reached Sullivan was % tired that he could only hang on and stall.This fight with Sullivan was called a draw, and everyone began to mit up and notice what Burns wus doing, as he was fast be coming a contender for the heavyweight championship, now that Jefries had retired Burns pext fought Dave Barry at Tacoma,; and beat him in 20 rounds.He then went cast and secured a fight with Hugo Kelly in Detroit for 10 rounds, which ended in a draw.The fight was one of the best ever sewn, and the men were re matched at Los Angeles for 20 rounds, going to another wv.Jack\u2018 (\u2018Twin\u2019) Sullivan was next matched with\u2019 Burns fof 20 rounds, and in \u2018bis fight Burns won all the way.At this time Marvin Hart bad just besten Jack Boot, and hed been presented with the heavyweight championship by Jim Jefir es, who had refereed the fight.Hart was in the audience.when Burns fought Sullivan, and thinking that Burms was easy for him offered to risk the championship and fight him.Now this was the opportunity that Burns had looked forward to for many a day, and the minute the match was made he trained like he Dever trained before.When time was called Burne was is the condition of his life, and fit to fight for a king's ransom.At the end of the 20 rounds Hart was a badly beaten men, and Burns was the heavy weight champion.Burns them fought thres more men out on the Coast, and beat every one of them.In the meantime, Jack O'Brien had beaten Robert Fitzsimmons, who claim ed the championship after Jeffries retired, 30 he, too, was a contenter for Burns\u2019 title.Burns and O\u2019Brien fought ¥ | 20 rounds at Los Angeles, and the won called a draw, leaving neither of them with a clear hold on the title.Another bout was arran for the title, and Burne won a lon at the end of 20 rounds, and sei at rest all plaire against the litle which be now As the field had all been cleaned up of championship aspiränte in the Mates, with the

DEVELOPER OF MAN How the Exercise Can Be Made a \u2018Boon to AN Who Practice Itze When used purely ns an exercite, boxing is extremely beneficial as one of the higher and finer forme of plysl- cal culture.It teaches the use of muscles built up Ly simpler exercises, such as those done without parspbernalia of any sort immediately after riving of mornings or before going to bed at night.t further develops the power of breathing und the staying qualities.It imparts agility and suppleness.It shows each muscle its proper working rolation to its fellows.It carrier the mental action necessary to all correct exercise neveral rteps forward, and it likewise materially advances a man\u2019s ability to defend bimself should the emergency arise.This alwave means more self-reliance and, therefore, better all-round poise under all cireum- stances.But while boxing simply as « form of physical culture\u2014which is another way of saving bealth\u2014is worthy of careful attention, i would be harmful to carry it to excess, as in the case of many other good and proper thing.The object of sane physical culture should be to develop man's finer nature by giving him good health through normal bodily development.For the philosophers sav that he who is thoroughly healthy is more likely to bs govemed by higher impulses than he who has the stomach of a vi tic.best time to box is half an bour belore or an hour after meals.Never take the exercise om a full stomach, which will hinder .Do wot bold rounds, according to the rules.Din and then ind Tome giving out.then stop.- ed, again take un the exercise.Further.remember that it is not always necessary, fo get the proper amount of exercise, to carry all the movements to their ultimate issues.In many positions, such as breaking a clinch nv pressing back the ornonent\u2019s head with an open hand placed over his nos and face it would serve the purpose of exercise just as well to count vour opponent's icament a point after you bave thoroughly in your power and let it go st that, Carried on in this way, boxing a» a form of physical culture will be found an exhilarating pleasure.A litle study of and practice with the following exercises, either with the punching bag or in \u201cshadow boxing\u2019 will enable almost anv one to evolve diiferent mowements, and from this cme thine alone not a little animated diversion will he obtained.To drese for boxing, get into a gym: nasium suit, or, more convenient still, a pair of old, loose trousers.an athletic shirt and tennis shoes.The gloves should weigh from six to eight ounces.A man mav be great and not Fnow it himeeH, but most of us are great and have exclusive knowledge of the fact.M ¥ A Mont Valuable Agentmedicine greatly the whiek té artracte from native Bose,
