Made the Dishes Rattle. St. Louis. Feb. 9. —Two distinct earthquake shocks were felt in St. Louis and vicinity between 6:20 and 6:25 o’clock Sunday night. The first shock was of almost twenty seconds duration, and while it was not so distinctly ielt immediately in St. Louis, in the Western suburban towns, and in Alton, Belleville, Edwardsville and other nearby towns in Illinois it was sufficiently forceful to rattle dishes and swing doors. The second shock followed within two minutes and was! slight and of short duration. Both shocks were from northeast to southwest. The earth tremors were also felt in several places in upper Kentucky and southern Indiana. Murdered by Robbers. Ardmore, I. T„ Feb. 9. —Dr. T.

J TIL WE One Thousand Lives of Society Islanders Lost In Raging Waters. DEVASTATION SUPREME Whole Islands In a Populuous Group Depopulated and the Entire Group Effected. The Only Protection of the Unhappy Natives Was to Climb High Trees. The Steamer Mariposa Direct From Tahita Brings Awful Word to San Francisco Sunday. Date of the Wave Was Jan. 15, and the Half May Not Have Been Told. • San Francisco, Feb. 9. —More than 1,000 persons were killed and eighty Islands of the Society group in the i southern sea were devastated on Jan. i 15 by a huge tidal wave that swept ■ across the island-dotted sea. News of I the disaster was brought Sunday on the steamer Mariposa direct from Tahiti. The storm raged for several days, being most severe from Jan. 14 to 16. I On Jan. 15 a tidal wave accompanied by a terrific hurricane, attacked the Society islands and the Tuamotu group with fearful force, carrying death and devastation for miles before its towering front. As the news received at Tahiti up to the time of the sailing of the Mariposa was meager, it is thought that full returns may swell the death-list. It is possible that hundreds of bodies were washed out to sea. bo that they may never be accounted for. The islanders who survive are destitute of food, shelter and clothing. Crops have been destroyed ; and death threatens the survivors. The first news of the disaster arrived at Papeete. Tahiti, on Jan. 26 by the schooner Elmo. The captain of the schooner placed the fatalities at 500 persons. The steamer Excelsior arrived at Papeete the following day with 400 destitute survivors. The captain of the Excelsior estimated the total loss of life at 800 persons. These figures comprised only the deaths on the three islands of Hao, Hikuera and Makokau, whose total population is only 1,800. On Hikuera island, where 1,000 inhabitants were engaged in pearl diving, nearly one-half were drowned. On an adjacent island 100 more were washed out to sea. Makokau and hao are depopulated. Conservative estimates at Tahiti place the number of Islands visited by the tidal wave and hurricane at eighty. All of them are under the control of the French governor at Tahiti. The French governor upon receipt of news of the disaster took prompt measures to relieve the starving survivors. The governor dispatched two warships, the Duranee and Zelee, with fresh water and provisions. The Italian man-of-war Calabria accompanied the two French vessels on their errand of mercy. As the supply of fresh ■water and provisions was exhausted I by the storm, it is feared that many lives will be lost before the relief ships arrive. As far as is known eight white people were among the drowned. Added to this number was a woman ' who committed suicide from fright. As the islands were barely twenty feet above sea level and not surrounded by coral reefs, it was necessary for all the inhabitants to take to the cocoanut trees when the tidal wave ! began to cover the land. These trees are 100 teet high. Those who climbed , the smooth trunks of the taller trees were above the crest of the wave, but all the shorter trees were covered by the raging waves which swept with pitiless force about and over them. Many natives in the taller trees were lost when the roots gave way or the trunk snapped under the foce of the water. Many of these were swept far out into the sea. The 400 survivors brought by the Excelsior to Papeete gained the ship’s side aftere the hurricane by swimming three and four miles from the tops of the cocoanut trees. The Elmo, though damaged by the storm, also brought off as many persons as could swim to its side. The Elmo, like tho Excelsior, was unable to run close to the shores because of the violence of the ocean swells, which continued to run abornmally high, deluging the Islands for a week after the tidal disturbances. One of the many acta of heroism reported is that of a woman who climbed one of the tall cocoanut trees and lashed her baby to the branches with (trips of her clothing. The mother clung to the body of the tree beneath the little one as beat she could. There they remained for ton hours, si fferlna

great torture from wet. cold and hunger. until finally rescued by other natives, who swam with them to the ship. Thousands of tons of copra and more than 200 tons of mother-of-fearl shells are known to be lost. The pearl shells are valued at SI,BOO a ton. Many valuable pearls may now be lost forever. The islands produce some of the finest pearls in the world. Among the passengers on the Mariposa was G. W. Waterbury, formerly of Chicago. He was in that part of the storm which visited the island of Raiatea. one of the Leeward islands, situated some distance to the west of the ill-fated Tuamotu. On Raiatea much damage was done, although no lives were lost. A well-built road, constructed by the French government at considerable expense, was demolished, bridges were carried away, buildings overturned- and shattered and pieces of big ships, old wreckage and cocoanut trees were heaped high along the coastline. Old inhabitants on Raiatea said that the storm was the worst they had ever seen. Returning to Tahiti, the little schooner upon which he sailed was almost swamped by the high seas and a waterspout came near to the boat at one place. Sot AccordlnK to Shakespeare. A negro amateur dramatic society was attempting to give a performance of ‘’Othello.” In the scone where Othello demands a handkerchief from Desdemona there was a startling interrcp tion from one of the audience. When the time came for the scene, the negro who was playing the part of Othello bawled out, “Desdemonie, gib me dat httn’kerchif 1” No reply. “Desdemonie, I say gib me dat han’kerchlf!” Still silence. "Desdemonie, foh de third time, gib me dat han'kerclilf!” Rut she wouldn't do it. Thereupon an old negro among the spectators, tired of the apparent slowness, spoke up and said, "Ah. wipe yo' nose on yo' cote sleeve, nlggah, an’ let de show go on!”—New York Tribune.
