MAUI STB AIM LAUNDRY.
Rumors to the effect that the Maui
Steam Laundry, Ltd., would go out of
business during the present month have
been current around town this week prob
ably caused by statements made by the

directors of the corporation deny any in
tention of closing up and although Mr.
Blanchard's connection with the laundry
has been severed since Monday morning
last, the work has been going on without
interruption, and if patrons o the laun
dry will be considerate it will be but a
short time lief ore the institution will be
turning out better work than ever before
An Evidence of
Maui's Progress.
Theo. H. Davies & Co. of Honolulu
have given out a beautiful, artistic calcn"
dar for the year 1909. The ornamental
part consists of a relief map of the island
of Hawaii and twelve cuts of Hawaii
scenery besides a cut of the firm's Hono
lulu business house.
Maui people have scanned it closely in
the hope of finding a bit of Maui's won
derful scenery portrayed thereon, but all
in vain. So far as the firm is concerned
Maui has no place on its map. Some of
our friends who are desirous of booming
Maui business or Maui scenery in season
or out of season are a bit disappointed.
They want to kick. According to their
ideas of the fitness of things Maui's proud
growth should be kept in the eye of the
public even if it is planted there with
one's fist.
This is an extreme view of the subject,
for on the other hand the fact Maui finds
110 place ou the calendar of a Honolulu
firm should be taken as a compliment to
the business people of Maui. It means
Maui's business houses have secured the
whole of Maui's trade, and the Honolulu
firm finds it not worth the while to spend
printer's ink trying to flatter Maui people
for Maui trade which they cannot get, so
Hawaii gets the boqucts and Maui the
snub.
The calendar is a fine piece of work, but
a bit of Maui scenery on it would have
increased its artistic beauty a hundred
per cent.
Mrs. M. H. Reuter
Passes Away.
Mrs. M. H. Reuter, wife of M. II. Reu
ter, deputy tax assessor of Hana, Maui
died Wednesday morning early, January
13, 1909. She had been suffering with
dropsy for sometime, and her demise was
not entirely unexpected.
She leaves a husband, two daughters
and a number of grandchildren to mourn
her loss. Mrs. Reuter was tke daughter
of Kahanuala, a resident of I'lupulakua
where M. II. Reuter met, wooed, won
and married her about thirty-five years
ago, in the days when Capt. James Makee
made u garden spot of Ulupalakua, and
the steep hillsides produced the richest
sugar crops known to the sugar planters
of those olilen days.
The funeral service was held in the
Wananalua Church of Hana at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon and was largely attended

The Sicilian
Cataclysm
Terrible Scenes In The Dcs
trnclion of Cities.
The following dispatches give
lctnils (if the great Italian earlh-
liiakc
One of tlie refugees from Heggio
lio was the first to bring tlie news
of the city's destruction, tried to
make his wn to Sicily in a sail
boat, hut was compelled to return,
finally found safety at a peninsula
port. In his experiences ho mud:
riie sea was mysteriously agi
tated and the heavens were a
blaze. Neaiing Sicily the clearing
smoke revealed the mystery; Mes
sina was in ilames, In tlie frenzy
of despair I turned my boat back
to Calabria."
Starving, bleeding from injuries
and almost insane from their ter-
fying experiences, Messina's sur
vivors are fleeing in all directions.
l'lio spectacle presented by the
ruined seaport is described as ter
rifying. . Tumbling buildings both
illed and mutilated many, while
hundreds of the injured, imprison
ed in the wreckage, were abandon
ed to their fate by the Heeing po
pulace. One of those who escaped
said:
'"The earth seemed suddenly to
drop and then turn violently on
its axis. The whole population,
ho practically were precipitated
from the houses rent in twain, were
spun around like tops as they ran
through the stteets. Many fell
crushed to death and others be-
wildered took refuge for breath be
side the tottering wall, where
tney soon met the fate of their
companions. ' .
MESSINA, January 1. I am
informed that in three days, when
all hope of having the wounded
will have disappeared, warships
will bombard Messina to bury the
bodies under the ruins and prevent
the development of an epidemic.
I ins decision, I am told was
reached today abroad the battle
ship Itegina Helena by General
Mazza.
By the terrible act that scene of
beauty and human activity, which
bore tlie name of Messina, will
have foraver ceased to exist.
I arrived here last night at 8 o'
clock from Naples by the Ionia
which brought troops and police.
Tlie spectacle in the stricken city
was terrible.
Messina has been completely d
stroyed. The number of killed and
wounded amounts to thirty or for
ty thousand.
Ihe starving population yester
day attacked the Bank of Italy,
but was repulsed by soldiers guard
in'g tne building. They made use
of their arms and killed two peo
le.
liussian sailors did wonders in
the way of saving the wounded.
There is no shelter to be had
Food is scarce. Part of the popu
lation has left for Naples, Catania
and other places,
A French equadron has arrived
to assist in the relief work. Five
thousand troops have arrived and
are being placed through the city
to assist the wounded and keep
order.
Survivors, estimated to unmber
20,000, almost all have tied from
the city. Nearly every house col
laped. The line of palaces which
surrounded Messina on the seaido
are nothing but ruins, The few
walls btill standing inclose an iia
mense cemetery. This line of pa
laces seems as if it had been crush
ed by gigantic teeth.
Crews of the Russian warships
Bogatyd and 81a va have shown
marvelous courage and devotion 111
the streets of Messina, which are
mass ct ruins. Une only sees
thieves and robbers plundering the
dead, and from timo to time they
are shot by the soldiers in lb
darkness.
Rain, hunger and tbirt in
Tease the sufferings of those vl o
remain.
More appalling than thedi"-- r ic-
turn of the towns and villages
themselves is the terror of the sur
ivors. The spectacle is horrible.
The wounded, bleediiiL', r.T."'ed
fiigecs are huim.n victims who
tagger here and there, dragging
their bruised feet with effect and
startinj; vacantly in all direction.
Those less alllcted tell contra
etorv stories. Kach remembers
only the tragedy of which he per
sonally was the victim.
It would be useless to revert to
the story of the destruction of the
towns; they are exceded by the
horror of the present.
Money is without value. The
indispensable need is fond, cloth-
uid lents for shelter. These must
ome ipiickly Kach day's delay
increases the list of dead.
CATANIA, January 1. Refu
gees from Keggio and Messina con
tinue to pour into Catania and the
i ty is one vast hospital.
Thousands of half nude indivi
duals of both si Xes have gathered
on either side of the of Messina,
seeking food or trying to gt t away
by sea. Many chidren have died
from exposure and the cases of
madness ai-e increasing.
A train from this city succeeded
in reaching the outskirts of Messi
na this morning. It has been
learned that Deputy Fuhi, who
eurvived the disaster, has died of
his injuries.
Last night the warship in Messi
na harbor threw their searchlights
on the ruins to enable the rescuers
on shore to continue their work.
The work of succor is going on
feverishly, but tlu forces are still
inadequate. The stench from de
composing bodies is becoming over
powering.
A heavy rain continues to fall at
Messina, increasing the suffering of
the injured and making more diili
ult the work of rescue but it is
quenching the (ires and having a
lightly purifying effect on the air
The distribution of food has been
irganized. Bakeries have been
