4 Remarkable Letter.

DR.. H. S. Wells
Dear Doctor.
As l was
one of your patients, l will briefly
state that for three long years l suf-
fered intensely with neuralgia and
inhamatory rheumatic ailments, it
being a difficult task for me to walk,
read or write. My kind parents did
all they could to alleviate my malady.
Physicians in Brooklyn city had small
hopes of my recovery: instead of
growing better, 1 became worse fully
expecting the unwelcome messenger
known as death. Like an angel of
light you came TO me in my suffering,
your hand assuaged the pain and
after treatment for a short time l re.
gained my health. l would say to
each and every one, that DR.. Wells
possesses wonderful healing powers
and not to give up hope until they
have tried him. Persons DESTROYS of

The lesson Of the Springfield fire has had
the effect of setting the occupants Of high
buildings to thinking Of their means Of es-
cape in event of similar conflagration !;
that it will effect much more in the majority
of cases can hardly be expected, unless it
may lead to salutary legislation. A look
about Boston, and conversations with ex-
perts in building have convinced the Boston
Advertiser that there are in that city scores
and hundreds of buildings where, in case of
sudden fire, another horror like that at
Springfield would be almost sure to follow.
Massachusetts has building law requiring
proper facilities Of escape from all large and
high buildings, but it is not enforced; and,
in the opinion of Mr.. Edward Atkinson,
proper precautions never will be taken until
employers are made to have pecuniary
responsibility for the safe exit Of their em-
ployes. 1t is not so strange as it may at
first seem, that the warnings given by fires
like that at Springfield are slowly taken.
The modification of the old buildings are
costly, and in the construction of new ones,
fire is the last thing thought Of. Yet these
horrible lessons are not infrequent. Every
year there are several. A year ago this
month the fatal fire in the Richmond Hotel
at Buffalo, N. Y, taught precisely the same
same lesson, that was repeated this year at
ingheld. blaze started on the ground
floor, ran up the elevator, which was of the
ordinary kind not built of fire proof mate
ials, and distributed the fire over the build
so completely and suddenly that about
twenty guests lost their lives. With proper
fire escapes well understood these guests in
this case, as at the Springfield fire, might
have escaped in spite of the advantage which
the elevator way gave to the flames. Yet
neither experience nor legislation seem com
petent to secure proper attention to these
essential details Of a building If expert

ence could do it the record OF last year
ought to be sufficient. The Buffalo lire was
followed the next week at Milwaukee by a
fire that cost twelve lives; in two months
over two thousand lives were sacrificed in
the Opera Comique in Paris; and before six
months had elapsed hundred and fifty per
sons perished by the burning of the new
theatre at Exeter, England. Fire escapes
do not always make safety absolute. AT
the Springfield fire, in spite of the sudden
rush Of flames and smoke up the elevator,
those who perished might, in all probability,
have escaped to the roof had the knowledge
of that means of exit been thoroughly inn
pressed upon their minds beforehand. This
emphasizes not only the necessity of fire
escapes but of knowledge how to use them.
Mr.. Kelsey, of the Boston Board of Fire
Underwriters, recommends a law that em-
ployers OF large numbers of hands, espec-
tally if there are many girls and women in
the number, be required to drill their help
frequently in the use of whatever means are
supplied for escape in case CT fire. little

tageous GOODNESS when the danger comes.

It is probable that nobody but the Roscoe
Conklng club of Buffalo has ever seriously
meditated the presentation of the name of
the Hon. Roscoe Conkling to the Republi-
can national convention as candidate for
the Presidential nomination. To be sure his
name has found its way into the newspapers
in that connection, but we imagine that the
men who put it there did itwithout any seri-
GUS expectation that any delegation to the
convention would take it up. The Buffalo
club appears, however, to have been in dead
earnest and could it have got Mr.. Conk-
ling's consent would have brought him out as
''favorite son" Of New York State. But
Mr.. Conkling has. had the good sense to sit
down upon the project, which, whatever its
intentions, would inevitably have resulted in
making him ridiculous.

From Monday noon until yesterday New
England was cut off from all communication
with the west and south except by way Of
London. All the knowledge Boston had Of
what was going on in New York came across
the ocean by way Of the Mackay-Bennett
cable. The whole West and South was
terra incOgnita for forty-eight hours What
was happening in the halls of Congress no
body in New England knew. The Presi-
dent might have been assassinated and we
have known nothing about it for two days.
Some Of the great cities Of the West might
have been reduced to ashes on Monday
night and no intimation of it come this way
for thirty-six hours. Newspaper readers
who are accustomed to scan the columns of
the press each morning for the latest news
from all parts of the earth have had to be
content with survey of a very limited area
1t would tax the memory of the oldest inhab.
liant to recall time since the days of the
telegraph and railroad when New England
was so completely cut off from the rest of
the world for so long period. Yet the IA
cilities which now put us in communication
with the whole civilized world every hour of
the day and night, and which we so miss
when they are interrupted for few hours,
are the creations of less than half century.
There are plenty of people now living who
can remember when news from the capital
of the nation was many days in reaching
New England, and when it was many weeks
before one extremity of the country knew
what had been transpiring at the other ex-
tremity. 1t was later than 1910 that railroad
service became general in this country, and
Prof. Morse did not string his experimental
telegraph wire until 1916, while the telephone
was unheard of till 1870. 1t is hard for us
to understand how our forefathers got along
without the facilities we now enjoy and
which we so sadly miss when suspended even
for few hours. What was unknown to
them has become necessity to us. The af-
fairs Of life have been arranged with refer
ence to them, and our very existence depends
to large degree upon their continued opera
tion.
