HOW MEN DIE.

If we know all the methods OF APP
proach adopted by an enemy We are the
better enabled TO ward of the danger and
postpone the moment when surrender De
comes inevitable. In many instances the
inherent strength of the body suf1lces to
enable it to oppose the tendency toward
death. Many however have lost these
forces to such an extent that there Is tilt-
lie or no help. In other cases little aid
to the weakened Lungs will make all the
difference between sudden death and

Between eight and nine o'clock last
night the gas ell over town began to grow
dim and in many stores and residences
went completely out. Great inconven.
fence was experienced at the Maryland
Hottie where lights were in great demand
among the numerous guests. The
trouble was attributed to the extensive
use of gas at the capitol where every
room was abaze of light and the resi-
dence, and business places had to bear
the inconvenience. If our gas supply is
not sufficient for the demand it should be
made so.
