The Turkish Bath.

! 1t is wefI known that the practice OF
bathing was in general vogue among
the anclents as a means OF promoting
health and prolonging life. The object of
bathing being to free the skin from the
accumulated deposits Of insenslble pers-
piratlon. II is one of the most efficient
restorers of health, vigor and beauty,
because it promotes the healthy action
| of the whole system. But the utility
of bathing depends upon the kind OF
bath and the manner Of bathing. The
first question therefore arises. "What
kind Of bath Is the most beneficial to
the human body?" To the fortunate
person who has had the opportunity of
experiencing the delightful effects of a
TurkishB Bath, the answer comes easy
| and without hesitation. This bath puri-
| fies, refreshes, and renovates the whole
syst EN- by the most thorough mode Of
external ablution.
In the east no source of enjoyment is
deemed more essential to existence than
this bath. Such was the case also
| among the Romans, whose baths were
conducted very much on the same prin-
ciples as the modern Turkish Bath.
The most famous physicians of both
ancient and modern times have recon-
mended its use. BY the Stole it was
deemed essential to virtue and by the
Epicurian to happiness.
How does a Turkish Bath act? By
opening the pores, bv setting free the
accumulated excretions, which have
cloggeO aid blocked up the countless
dralnpi ,es Of the system, and by excit-
ing i, hrisk and healthy circulation
throughout the whole system. By
gently .imulating the whole frame it
quicken. and increases the SecretiOns
drawn from the blood for the nouriSh-
ment ui the body. 1t will bring pounds
of bloo4 to the surface and balance the
! circulat ion more readily than any other
means huown to medical science. 1t
removes all Instructions in the vascular
system and puts all the organs into that
state OF regular, free and full motion
which is SO essential to health. In the
natural process which takes place when
the body Is subjected to this bath, the
seven millions of pores of the human
body are freely opened and the vast net
work Of blood vessels and nerves, two
| thousand square inches in extent on
the skin of an ordinary sized man, and
of the finest conceivable textures, is
excited to activity and brought under
the influence of this powerful agent.
1t may be asked by some, twill not
an ordinary warm bath have the same
etfect?" We answer, emphatically, no.
There is daily bodily drainage through
the skin of more than twenty-One
ounces of fluid. The ducts of the
glands of the skin, il placed in a
straight line, will extend over twenty
five miles in length. The skin is the
| safety valve for the inner organs and it
takes a powerful agent, such as the
Turkish Bath is, to keep this part of
the system in proper condition. Be-
sides being a purifier of the blood, it is
also a beautiier, of the person. The
effects OH the complexion are marvel
ious. The skin becomes clearer, the
eyes brighter, and the whole person as
sumes the dignifed and beautiful ap-
pearence of manhood or womanhoOd
i'll health, strength, activity and bright
intelligence.

SOUTH FORK CLUB CULPABLE.
The Coroner's Jury at Jobnstown Ken
ders a Verdict.


JoHysTowN, Pa, July 6.-The Board Of
Inquiry which has just completed a reg
iatration of all property losses in the
Cone maugh Valley, has made Its report
to Chairman CummIns, representing
Gov. Beavers relief commission. The
board divided the sufferers into <
classes, the first class being the most
needy, generally a woman VINO had lost
her husband or son and was left with a
large family to support with scarcely
any property saved. In this class they
have passed 2l5 cases to which they
recommend the payment OF u 600 each.
Classes from two to tive are not so destI-
tute, but still IN great distress. 10 these
they recommend payments from 5000
to 500. The recommendations of the
committee provide for the immediate
disbursement of 81 ,1S6, 900 to 1850 diff
ferent families, or an average of S322 to
each family. These ) $50 cases viii IN
clude all those who are in immediate
want. Class six includes the heaviest
losers, but they are not in immediate
want and no recommendation was made

cred further along.
The Coroner's jury inquiring into the

1t was being rebuilt, and saw hay and
straw put in the filing with loose dirt.
lie could not say whether or not tins
was proper material, as he was not an
expert at building dams. The jury rem
dered the following verdict:
"We, the undersigned jury Of inquest,
empaneled to investigate the cause Of
the death of Ellen Hite on the day of
the 3Ist of May, after hearing the tesli-
mony. do find that Ellen Hite came to
her death from drowning, and that
drowning was caused by the breaking
of the South Fork dam.
"We further find from the testimony
and what We saw on the ground, there
was not sufficient waste wells, nor was
the dam constructed sufficiently strong,
nor OF the proper material to withstand
the overflow, and here We find that the
owners Of the said dam were culpabla
IN not making 1t as secure as should
have been done; especially in view Of
the fact that a population Of many thou
sand were in the valley below.
I'VE hold the owners are responsible
for the fearful loss of life and property
resulting from the breaking of the dam.

Kansas City burglars, John Chambers
and John Chesser, entered the house of
Edward Hyatt, a farmer living ten
miles north of Olathe, through the
window of the sleeping-room of Mr..
and Mrs. Hyatt. The noise aroused Mr.
Hyatt, and drawing his revolver, he
fired three shots in quick succession.
Chesser fled through the window, but
Chambers sprang to the bed and at
tempted to wrest the revolver from Mr.
Hyatt's hand A struggle ensued and
the two men tumbled about the floor
until they finally burst through the
kitchen door. Chambers by this time
had gained possession of the weapon
and pointed II at the PROSTATE Hyatt,
when his wife, who had arisen during
the struggle, felled the burglar to the
floor with a blow on the head with q

Hawthorne and Hamilton known to Be

NEW YoEE, July S.-The commercial
Advertiser this afternoon says: with
IN the past decade there has been no
event in the American world Of letters
which has provoked such wide com
ment and excited so large
measure Of curiosity as the
publication III the North American
Review of a series of letters to promi-
nent persons under the nom de plume
Of Arthur Richmond" The two dis
tlnctlYe characteristics of the letters
were the extreme bitterness Of person
al and partisan fee ing which they be-
trayed and the marked excellence and
vigor Of the literary form. Shortly after
the death of Allen Thorndike Rice
an attempt was made TO establish con-
cluslyeiy ana permanently the fact that
be was not only responsible for their
publication, but that he had written the
Arthur Richmond letters. After this
attempt was made, Mr.. Rice's close
friends thought that the real authors
should come forward and assume
the responsibility for the letters,
but as they had not done
so the veil OF mystery has been
lifted. We have it on uuimpeachabie
authority, in fact, from he mouth of
gentleman who was 2 close personal
friend Of Mr. Rice and had opportum-
lies to see the manuscripts, that the
series OF letters was written by Julian
Hawthorne and Gail Hamilton"
