Among the people of to day there are
few indeed who have not heard of the
merits of Priclly Ash Bark and Berries as
a household remedy. Teas and drinks
have been made of them for centuries,
and in hundreds of families have formed
the sole reliance in rheumatic and kidney
diseases. Prickly Ash Bitters now take
the place of the old system and is more
beneficial in all troubles of this nature.

A Picture Drawn by Fire.

AN ENTERTAINING EXPERIMENT THAT ANY BOY
OR GIRL CAN MAKE.
From the San Francisco Call
Here is an entertaining experiment that any
boy or girl may try: Take a saturated solution
of nitrate of potash (saltpeter), and with a
Quill pen or fine brush draw any picture, de-
sign or words upon piece of white, absorbent
paper. The lines should be kept away from
each other. and the entire subject coarsely
drawn in outline. When dry the lines will be
nearly invisible; but if one Of them be touched
with the glowing end of an extinguished match
spark OF fire will run through the paper. fol-
lowing the lines already traced and cutting out
the design as if with an invisible knife.
This experiment is explained by the chemical
constitution of the saltpeter. The salt contains
a large amount of oxygen, so loosely combined
that it readily leaves the nitrogen and pot
ash, and unites with the carbon of the paper,
when heated to the point of ignition. The heat
developed by the combustionis not sufficient
to ignite the paper, except where II has been
saturated with the oxygen-giving salt; and so
the spark Of fire, which il really only an indi-
cation of violent chemical reaction. follows
the lines previously traced. Ii en- actual flame
Was brought In contact with the paper, of
course the whole would be consumed; but the
heat of the glowing charcoal is just sufficient
to start the combustion by the aid of the oxy-
gen In the saltpeter.

SHE EXPLAINS her PRESENT RELATIONS TOWARD
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
A Utica, New York. special to tho Philadelphia
Press says that the nun of Kenmare is living
quietly in that city reading the proof sheets Of
her autobiography. In answer to an inquiry if
she had deserted the Catholic church for the
Protestant, she said:
II have done no such thing 1t is true have
resigned my Office as sister of the order of
peace and have sent formal letter to the pope,
but have left no church nor Joined any other.
In that letter there are some serious charges,
and believe feel the necessity OF having to
make them far more than will be done by those
against whom they are made. In fact do not
make charges against any one. L simply state
facts. If these facts are discreditable to those
concerned can only repeat what I have said in
my letter to the holy father. that gave them
every opportunity to have the matter settled
privately, and they refused this many times.
can not be blamed for speaking out under
these circumstances. / do not expect an
answer, for the holy father is necessarily slow
to condemn the conduct Of any bishop. and
do not see how any honest man can fail to con-
denim the conduct of the bishops, whose letters
have given in my book. Where a condemna-
ton can not be made silence is the only re-
course.
II found that was for some reason so much
disliked by some of the bishops of this country
that it was impossible to extend the work while
my name was not connected with it. As was
very anxious for the extension of the work, 1
do not see that there was anything left for me
to do but withdraw. Perhaps they will allow
the sisters to carry on the work now. As for
myself, have decided to the sisters all the
property of the entire order here and in Eng
land, and God will provide for me as / tried to
provide for the poor as long as ecclesiastical
authority would allow me to do so. 1t matters
little what becomes Of me so that the work for
girls prospers. 1 hope to continue my literary
work, and by that means to provide for my
ardent and devoted member of the Roman
Catholic church, it has been great grief to
me that 1 could not be allowed to carry out
these plans in that church, especially when
had been so fortunate as TO have secured the
approval of the head of the church."

Disaster on the Baltimore and Ohio.


A Wheeling special to the New York Tribune,
November Is, says: An accident resulting in
the death Of five persons and the fatal wound
ing of sixth, occurred at Valley Falls, sta
ton miles west of Grafton, on the line Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railway, at o'clock last
evening: The cause was the carelessness of a
new brakeman in leaving o switch open, and
the limited express, due here at 10:45 p. m,
rushed on side track and dashed into a
freight train which was waiting for the pas
senger to pass. The express was running at
about 30 miles an hour. Both engines were re-
duced to scrap iron and several cars of the
freight train and the tender and baggage car
OF the passenger train wrecked, but the pas
senger coaches were only slightly damaged, and
none OF their occupants hurt beyond severe
bruises. Nathan Goodwin, of Fetterman, W.
va, was the brakeman upon whom the re-
sponsibilty for the accident rests. Edward De-
wire, Of this city, was the engineer OF the pas
senger train. His head was horribly crushed
He died at O'Clock this morning. His fire.
man was John Shay, Of Glover's Gap, W. Va,
He had both legs cut of and is dying. The
engineer Of the freight train was VIM. Clinton,
died at II o'clock. Nathan Goodwin, Of the
freight, who caused the wreck, is badly hurt
and may die. Charles Hall, postalclerk on the
passenger train, lived at WoodsAeld, Ohio. He
was crushed between the timbers Of his car and
Is dead. Oscar Van Low, one of his clerks,
was seriously wounded The dead bodies Of
two unknown tramps were found in the ruins
Of the freight train.

AN ENGLISH BALLOONIsT SHOOTS HIMSELF AT THE
BEDSIDE OF MARRIED WOMAN.
A Holyoke, Mass, special to the New York
Herald says: An Englishman named Edwin T.
Side committed suicide here because married
woman whom he once loved refused to elope
with him. Side is about fifty-four wears of
age. His home is in New Cross. London,
where his grown-up children now live. He was
connected with Sanger's circus as q balloonist.
His wife died about a year ago and he fell in
love with his housekeeper, Alice. She rejected
his addresses and came to this country and
married H. ]. Allen, Of Holyoke. Side couldn't
forget his Alice, and at last made up his mind
to follow her. He landed in New York on Fri
day and traced Alice to this city. He came
here Tuesday and threw himself at her feet,
but she told him that she was married to an
other man eight months ago and bade him be-
gone. He left. but returned again this morning
with a new five-chamber revolver in his pocket.
Mrs. Allen was in bed sick when he entered the
room, and beside her was ten days old baby,
which Side claimed as his.
Bring our child, come with me, and we will
live together in Brooklyn" said the infatuated
balloonist.

HITCH IN THE ISSUANCE OF THE WRIT OF
TACHMENT.

A HITCH IN THE ISSUANCE OF THE WRIT OF AT
TACHMENT.
Lawyer Rufus E. Shapley, counsel for Ben
net C. Wilson, applied to Prothonotary Mann
in Philadelphia yesterday to know why the
writ of attachment for contempt of court had
not been issued against Inventor John W.
Kelly. The prothonotary informed Mr.. Shap-
ley that the writ must be issued by the clerk of
the court in which the rule was granted Mr..
Shapley then applied to the clerk of common
pleas court, No. 8, but the clerk refused to
issue the writ without a special order or a
formal decree from the judge. Mr.. Shapley is
now drawing up decree which he will present
to the court for approval, upon which the at
tachment will be issued. Lawyer A. s. L.
Shields, Mr.. Shapley's associate in the case,
said yesterday that Keely would probably be
brought into court on the attachment to-mor-
row.
