CENTER OF POPULATION. In the predictions as to the showing -which the census figures would make there was cue virtually agreed upon that the center of populatior would be shifted some distance -west ward from its location In 1890, whict -was six miles southeast of Columbus Ind., says Toledo Blade. But this pre diction was one of the kind whicr goes wrong. The census people hav tentatively announced that the mart will have to be moved but slightly The west has flourished tremendous ly In ten years. It has gained not only new railroads, but the old ril roads have been renewed. Irrigatior has caused new lands to be cultivated and new cities and towns to be build ed. Such cities as Seattle hav profited in wealth and population bj the opening of new territory, the de velopment of new resources, the fill lng In of the once deserted spaces be tween town and town. But in thest came ten years an immense immigra tion has bren distributing itself in th eastern cities among the coal minei and steel plants of Pennsylvania, ii the Industrial districts of Lake Erie It has offset the settlement of the far west. Enforcing health regulations against Ignorance and prejudice frequently ii accompanied by difficulties. Cholers prevails in parts of Italy, and the of ficials have taken wise precaution! against the spread of the disease. An one result has been a riot, accom panied by the wrecking of the healtt office in the town of Barletta. Oi course the rioters are taking the pre else course that opens the way for In vasldn by the deadly ailment. Thli Is an age of 'enlightenment, but there are regions where there has been little advancement In Ideas since the time when plagues swept away vie tims by wholesale because there was not sufficient knowledge to ward ofl the danger. Those who have been able to hold back their vacations until now are to be congratulated. October Is one cl the finest months of the year for vacations, as any one who has been fortunate enough to have two weeks free at this time will tell you. The country lies before you. There Is no bet ter exercise than walking. Nature, in the full beauty of her late summet foliage, is at her best, and the crisp air of the approaching fall 13 noticeable mornings. Soon it will be on tap all day. Why not keep up your open-air vacation habits all winter? The world's wheat crop this year is estimated at a little under 3.500,000,000 bushels, which will make it, with one exception, the largest ever gathered. The largest wheat crop evet gathered waa that of last year, which was approximately 150,000,000 bushela more than the estimate of 1910. More than half of the shortage is figured in tie crop of the United States. Although here as in Russia the crop Is Ehorter than last year, the reserve oi old wheat held over from the prevl ous year ia larger in both counvrk;? than it was in ld09. Jbe "United States government has ordered another large installment oJ the rifle "silencers," by which th noise of firing Is done away with. Ex periments are also under way witr similar silencers for cannon. It ma) yet come to pass that the noise oi battle will consist mainly of thf "shouting and the tumult" that wer la order before the days of gunpow ier. Virearms as playthings are not en , tirely justified of wisdom, as proved In the case of a twelve-year-o?d Buf falo boy who received a gift of a rifle from his father and a few minutes later shot and killed hi3 mother. Of course, it was an accident, and everybody concerned is very sorry, but the moral is that, given every possible opportunity and invitation, accidents will happen. The expicurean world ia still waiting for developments in the project tc provide meat from hippopotami fed on water hyacinth. It sounds better than terrapin. i Woman steals silk stockings and pleads that she did It "to feed hei children." The science of Infant die tetics is making great strides, these days. Seeing that Uhlan has trotted a mile in less than two minutes, without the aid of a wind-shield or other assistance of try kind. Is it not time to begin talking about the mlnute-and-a-half trotter? A St Louis preacher is in trouble because he stole a number oi watches. Perhaps the poor man mere ly wanted enough watches to be al ways warned against the danger of preaching overtime. France will have fifty new aeroplanes for its army. Other nations will, of course, have to reinforce their national defenses in like manner, it Is a new era and vastly interesting for everyone but the taxpayer. Some of the Americans who went to Europe in the first cabin and are coming tome in the steerage may have learned enough and gained enough to make that come down worth while. A. night watchman in Revere, Mass., took asv.im and went to bed. It was 52 hour3 later when he awoke and went to work. The nightwatch business must be more exacting than paragraphed would have the world believe. ' We gather from the photographs that even if Professor Garner can't teach monkeys to talk, he has educated one of them well in the spooning line.

HUNDREDS KILLED IN TERRIFIC GALE

Shipping Suffers Severely in Storm on Baltic Coast. FRENCH STEAMER WRECKED Twenty-Three of Her Crew Missing Tempest Causes Havoc on English Shores Cuba StormSwept. St. Petersburg. A hurricane swept the eastern coast of the Baltic sea, causing many wrecks and the loss of hundreds of lives among the sailors. Three sailing vessels foundered off the Gulf of Riga. Some of their men were rescued. The tide cast up quantities of wreckage, including timber, naphtha cans and boxes of merchandise. At Mi tau the wind tore down whole rows of houses, trees and all telegraph wires Saint Nazaire, France. The French steamer Ville de Rochefort was wrecked oft Noirmoutlers island. The British steamer Peverill picked up the first and second mates and the chief steward of the French craft, but the 23 others of her crew are supposed to have been lost. The Peverill put in here. Hartlepool, England. The steamship Cranford has been lost in a gale in the North Sea and it is feared all sixty-three persons on board perished. Twenty-five bodies were washed ashore. As the bodies were those of the crew it is believed the seamen took possession of the life boats when the vessel seemed doomed. The Cranford was a steel built vessel constructed in 1SS9 and owned by Pyman Brothers, London. Tampa, Fla. From the West Indies to the Florida coast, throughout the region of the Tortugas and from the Florida coast to Mexico In the gulf the seas are in the grasp of a hurricane which is striking terror to the hearts of the people of the whole immense area. Uncertainty as to the exact direction of the whirling, swirling destructive winds of Titanic power adds to the apprehension as to the safety of both coast and inland towns and cities. Towns in Cuba are reported devastated. The Isle of Pines is said to have been a heavy sufferer, while vistas of wreck-strewn coasts are brought up by the clamor of distress calls coming out of the sombre air sent by wireless operators from vessels wrestling with the might of towering waves and the force of the turgid winds. The width of the storm will extend from the Florida coast to the Mexican coast. AH wireless stations in the path of the disturbance, with the exception of the local government station, are disabled. MAKES PLEA FOR BEVERIDGE. Roosevelt Gives High Praise to Indiana 8enator. Indianapolis, Ind. CoL Theodore Roosevelt made a vigorous plea at many cities and towns in Indiana on his trip across the state for the return to the United States senate of Albert J. Beveridge as senator from this commonwealth. The last speech of the day from the balcony of the Hotel English here was delivered before a crowd of 50,000 peo8 le. Col Roosevelt called it "A meetng the like of which in 30 years' ex perience ill politics I have never before seen." From the time the colonel got on the back platform of his private car at Covington, just across the border line from Illinois, until he left Indianapolis he urged the throngs to elect the wfcole Republican state ticket so that a legislature would be, Put ,n that would support Beveridge. The ex-president went to the utmost limit in indorsing Beveridge. He gave him credit for having initiated the fight against the beef trust that resuited in the passage of the pure food law. Without the amendments put in that bill by Senator Beveridge, the colonel insisted, there never would have been any pure food legislation passed that was worth anything. D. B. HILL IS CRITICALLY ILL.

LOSS OF LIFE 1 IM FOREST FIRES IS EXAGGERATED

Gov. Eberhart Says Dead Number 32 and Property Damage About $2,000,000. St. Paul, Mmn. Governor Eberhart just back from the scene of the devastating forest fires in north ern Minnesota, declares that the loss of life has been greatly exaggerated and places the number of dead at 32. He says the property loss will probably reach $2,000,000. "The fire situation is now well in i hand," said the governor. 'And al ready the work of rebuilding homes has started. The nurabe: of dead has been greatly exaggerated in the reports. There are now 32 dead and I do not tslieve more than a half dozen more bodies will be found. A check has been kept on all relief work done, so it is known Just how much clothing and supplies have been distributed. "There are now 16 cases of typhoid in the district, but the medical work is well organized under Doctor Clarke of Stillwater and two nurses, so all the sick are being cared for and there is no danger of any outbreak. "The work of cleaning up and building has already started. The plan now Is to start the refugees back to their farms and help them begin life anew. Most of them had insurance on their property, so they will be able to take care of themselves after receiving temporary relief." FAMINE THREATENS FRANCE. Railroad Strike I Paralyzing Business Everywhere. Paris. The strike of the railroad men, which threatens to spread throughout the length and breadth of France, was denounced by Premier Briand as "an insurrection purely, built upon criminal foundations." The premier declared the strike was called while negotiations were going on through himself and the minister of public works for an adjustment of grievances, and he promised that the instigators would be criminally prosecuted. Warrants were issued. Rumors are afloat of a general industrial strike to paralyze business in every section of the country. The first move In this direction was made by tho electricians and employes of the metropolitan railways, subway and omnibus lines, who met to consider the advisability of seizing this opportunity to secure redress for old grievances against the employers. The National Railroad union comprises only 100,000 of the total of 300,000 men employed in the railway service, but a large majority of the nonunion men are participating in' the strike. The casing of 30.000 of the strikers for army reserve duty is not likely to have any immediate effect on the situation, as the military code allows a man a delay of 15 days before xesponding to the call. Heavy consignments ot fruits and vegetables destined for Belgium and northern France are stalled. Prices of fish, eggs, butter and milk have Jumped 25 per cent The merchants are arranging for the transportation of vegetables from the suburbs by automobiles. The garrison of Paris has been reinforced by troops from the provinces and all the principal points along the railroads effected by the strike are guarded. ' The blocked Northern line Is the great artery for agricultural products and insured Paris of the necessities during the flood of the Seine. The president of the grain syndicate said that the stock of flour on the Pari ! market did not exceed 75,000 quintal. Paris consumes 10,000 Quintals dally. President Fallieres hurriedly returned from his estate in the south and conferred, with, the ministers. The problem of food looms ominously. Already the market Is pinched. Enormous quantities of milk and fish en route from Normandy and Belgium are stalled at points along the Northern road. THREE TROT RECORDS BROKEN. Joan Wins Walnut Hall Farm Cup Race at Lexington. Lexington, Ky. Three world's records . were smashed at the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' association fall meeting here. The Har vester, driven by the veteran reinsman Ed. Geers, lowered the world's two-mile record held by Cresceus fron i:!7 to 4:15V4, trotting the last quar ter in the sensational time of 31 V sec onds. Alleen Wilson, 2:02, a black mare by Arrow Wood owned by John W. Coakley, Boston, set a new record for pacing mares to wagon, negotiating the distance in 2:04. In the Walnut Hall farm cup race, the four-year-old bay mare Joan, by Directum Spier, trotted the first heat in 2:05, setting a new record for the race, and the third heat of the same event she trotted the mile in 2:04 J-5, making a world's record for a four-year-old of any sex.

A TERRIFFiG STÖ!

SWEEPS CUBA AND THE GULF COAST. COMMUNICATION IS CUT OFF Impossible to Estimate the Damage Grave Fears Entertained for Residents of Resorts on the Bay Other News. Tampa, Fla. With communication with all points south of here cut off, wireless stations out of commission, and the increasing danger of the interruption of communication with the entire world. Tampa and all the territory between Tample and the Florida Keys is being storm-swept. It is impossible to estimate the damage. With a steady gale blowing seaward at the rate of 50 miles an hour, the water is being blown out of the bay, causing a tide of seveti feet below low water. Grave fears are entertained for the forty-six members of the Plant City artillery company, which is encamped at Egmont Key. Considerable fear is also entertained for the fifty residents at Passe-A-Grille, a resort on the bay. The schooner Brazos, which sailed from here several days ago, is believed to have been lost as no tidings of her have been received. Havana, Cuba. The island of Cuba has probably sustained the greatest material dsaster in all her history in the practically continuous hurricane which began with light rains, develop ing into torrential floods and devastat ing hurricanes. The western half ol the island suffered more severely than the east. It is impossible to estimate even roughly the amount of damage which doubtless will aggregate many millions of dollars. In addition to the great destruction of sugar and tobacco plantations, many thousands of peas ants in the three western provinces have been rendered homeless and destitute by the loss of thtir homes and the food crops, especially corn. It now seems probable that the republic may be compelled to request international aid for them. In the city of Havana, the losses probably will extend a million dollars, mainly due to the destruction of the customs house sheds which were filled with perishable goods, the sinking of scores of lighters, many of them containing valuable cargoes which had been unloaded from steamers, and the submerging of about one square mile of the residential section of the city, facing the sea. Few fatalities up to the present have been reported. Three men were drowned in the harbor but no deaths from the storm occurred in the city. JULIA WARD HOWE IS DEAD Famous Woman Poet and Writer Dies at Age of Ninety-One. Middletown, R. I. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe died at her summer home here.

Forty-Three Injured In Bad Wreck. Fort Worth, Ark. Forty-three persons were Injured, thirteen seriously, when St. Louis & San Francisco passenger train No. 5 went through a bridge one mile west of Compton, Okla. The wreck occurred on a short curve in the Winding Stair mountains while the train was passing over a small bridge. The mail car broke through the bridge. The chair car landed in the bottom of the creek, the smoker was thrown crosswise on the right of way while the diner stood on end in the wreck. Five cars were piled up and the fact that there was no loss of life was probably due to the fact that the cars were made of steel. Four Hurled 250 Feet Down Shaft. Marquette, Mich. Four men, who were being hoisted to the surface, were killed at the Cleveland Cliff Iron company's North Lake mine, near Ishpeming. when the bucket on which they were seated was overturned and they were hurled 250 feet to the bot tom of the shaft.

INDIANA RAIL WRECK KILLS FIVE WORKMEN

Freight and Work Trains Collide Near Portland, Ind. More Than Score Injuree". Portland, Ind. Five laborers were Instantly killed and more than a score were injured, several seriously, when a north-bound extra freight train on tho Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad crashed head-on Into a work train, seven and a half miles south of here. All were caught between flat cars on wnich they were riding and pulled under the wreckage of the engine, where their bodies were terribly mutilated. The head of Milutin Tomlc was torn completely off, while Larao Mandie was completely disemboweled and his right leg cut off. The dead men all have families in the old country. A special train run to the wreck carried physicians, who dressed tenporarily the wounds of the injur and brought a dozen of the worst hui, to the hospital here. The two trains met on a stretch or straight track in the fog, the engine men being unable to see one another until the trains were within fifty feet of each other. All Jumped and escaped injury.

Business in the big state, war and navy buildings was entirely suspended for the employes to witness the flight Far over the city the flying machine first was sighted. It passed over the buildings at a height of about 800 feet.

TAFT GOES TO PANAMA.

Will Leave on Fast Cruiser Nov. 11 for Isthmus. Beverly, Mass. Panama canal fortification and' the question of whether the canal zone shall be administered by the civil or military arm of the government are the two pressing problems which decided President Taft to pay a flying visit to the isthmus immediately after the November election. Chief Engineer George W. Goethals conferred with President Taft at the summer White House, and at its conclusion the president announced he would leave for Panama on November 11 on the fast cruiser North Carolina, which will be attended by the cruiser Montana. Although advisers have counseled the "president against leaving the country for the eleven days required to make the trip, he feels that the reasons brought to his attention in support of the visit demand his immediate presence on the Isthmus. President Taft will make a special study of plans for the distribution of coal at the two terminals of the canal in order to prevent any monopoly of the sale of coal. He is determined that private interests shall not seize the monopoly and to this end, if the forthcoming inspection warrants such action, coaiing stations will be established by the government which will supply not only war vessels, but ships of commerce. President Taft believes that the facts obtained should be embodied in recommendations for presentation tc congress at the earliest possible mo ment. Although January 1, 1915, is given as the date for the completion of the canal, it is expected that the work will be finished before then and the president insists that the details of administration shall be arranged in readiness for the opening. One of the problems to be confronted is the form o government for the canal. It may be decided to govern the zone along the lines followed by England with her crown colonies. The question of tolls is one which gives the president much concern. It Is the purpose to make the canal a paying investment for the government, but rates which would return more than 2 per cent, on the $400,000,000, which will have been paid ont when the canal is completed, may be considered so excessive by shipowners that they would not patronize the canal.

MEXICANS DON'T ADMIRE US Any Condescension We May Feel Is Reciprocated With Interest by Our Southern Neighbors. Few, things, in all probability, would more surprise the large number ot Americans who think they hare reason to know a little' of the republic directly to our southward than to be made aware of the estimation In which they axe actually held by its Inhabitants. Except In respect to things political or picturesque, it may as well be admitted that our own attitude toward Mexico Is, for the most part, one of condescension, verging upon mild contempt, the Delineator says. We may, perhaps, find a certain interest in the fact that it is altogether reciprocal. Nor can we put it off with the thought that any criticism or disapproval meted out to ourselves Is due to lealouv

Jealousy would be so dlsproportlonata as to be absurd. To give it any reason for existence would seem to require at least some slight similarity in genius, proportions and alms. Envy might be probable, but not Jealousy. And It Is doubtful if the former sentiment to any extent obtains. There is, indeed, a strong general feeling of resentment against our encroachments In the financial world, a fear lest they may end in annexation, to which a wholly alien and intensely patriotic people would be bitterly opposed; but this may be looked UDon as one of those political sentiments having little or nothing to do with personal relations or estimates. The Mexican is sufficiently generous and sufficiently the creature of emotions to be able to admire even the members of a race which has already taken from him, under pretext, much 01 nis northern territory: which has upon its records the unlovely Incident of the storming of Chapultepec, delenued by young boys; which Is daily obtaining a stronger and stronger foothold by methods not always ethically admirable, and whose one dramatical ly magnanimous act forcin jr tha re call of Maximilian was actuatl, like most of the altruism of states, by very self-regarding motives. The fact, however, remains that th Mexi can does not usually admire us. Plants In a Room. We cannot esteem too highly the value of plants about a room. They become in time real friends.
