NOT DEAD, BUT SLEEPING.
A Fat Man Fell Out of an Upper Berth and
Was Not Awakened.

A Fat Man Fell Out of an Upper Berth and
Was Not Awakened.
Travelling Passenger Agent L. NJ. Warden,
of the Lake Erie road, tells good story on
an East End gentleman. "An amusing incl
dent occurred on the Lake Erie train that
carried the knights of Pythias to Niagara
Falls week ago." he said. Gan East
Ender, fat and good natured, but whose
name didn't learn, had secured a ticket
that gave the right to occupy the whole of
upper four in the sleeper Welland, and
about IL o'clock, with the assistance of the
porter and a stepladder, he ascended to his
perch. The sounds of night that soon began
to radiace from his berth plainly told the
other passengers that he had settled down to
business. At the other end of the car in
section IL were four young men
that were troubled with insomnia
and bottle, and along toward
2 o'clock they started for the smoking room.
In passing No. their eyes were attracted
BY the chimes from the upper berth. The
combination on the curtains had broken.
The fat man was lying near the edge. Each
as he passed raised his hand and gave him
hard slap, thinking, no doubt, that it
would cause him to move over from the
fourth man had delivered his blow, for
upper turned the wrong way and came
tumbling down to the floor with crash
that woke the peaceful sleepers, and made
them think that rear-end collision had
taken place.
''The sudden disappearance of the young
men was remarkable. One crawled
under a lower berth, two were hanging
to the steps on the outside, ready
to jump and take to the woods, while the
other had an immediate engagement with
the baggage master, who was 10 carlengths
north of the WellaDd. Upper four, how
ever, was not after blood. 1t was rest that
he needed about that time, so he settled
himself comfortably on the floor and slept
right along as peacefully as a threshing
machine. Two men finally emerged from
their berths and boosted him into upper
four again, from which he emerged in the
morning looking as serene as baby, and
when asked about his fall knew nothing
about it, as he had slept comfortably all the
time"

A GARBAGE FURNACE PLAN.
Mr. Walker Claims Rubbish Can Be Burned
without Bad Odors.

Robert L. Walker, Boston engineer, has
been at the Anderson for the last week. He
is interested among other things in garbage
furnaces. When he saw what Pittsburg had
in this line, he laughed heartily. He had
talk with Chief Brown, and agreed to give
him free of charge the plans of a furnace,
which he claimed would consume the city's
waste without emitting disagreeable odors.
The design was obtained and turned over
to local architect for examination
In chat yesterday, he said: 'Fire will
purify anything by burning it up. The ap-
paratus which suggested to Chief Brown
is simple furnace arched over, and divided
for part of its length with partition. 1t is
provided in front with two freplaces, which
are closed by hampers that are kept cool
with a stream of water. This gives two fires
In the rear are openings to put in the rub
bish. One of the fires is kept at white
heat Suppose fresh coal is put on the other
The heat from this fire passes through
the waste products in the rear changing
them into gas. The air through the furnace
drives it around to the other fire where the
great heat consumes the noxious gas and
smoke at once. When the one fire dies
down it can be replenished and by that time
the other one has a good start and is red
hot. The direction of the current of air is
then changed and the same process on the
other side is repeated. Do you catch the
idea?' The reporter thought he did.

AT WORK ON AN IMPROVEMENT.
Mr.. Hillman Expects TO Get Salvage Corps
I'm Operation Here.


Leonard Hillman, of Cincinnati, who is
trying to establish salvage corps in Pitts
burg, is making fair progress, and thinks he
will finally succeed in awakening public in
terest. In connection with the scheme he
hopes TO start ultimately a notification
bureau, and to introduce the Newman watch
and fire signal service system in Pittsburg,
In explanation, he said:
'The notification bureau would not cost
great deal The idea is to keep horse and
buggy and two men, to be supported
by subscriptions from business houses.
As soon then as a house fire breaks
out, man starts for the owners home and
brings him to the scene. He knows where
valuable papers are located that can be
easily obtained. The system is in use in
Cincinnati and works very simple In
factories or stores box is placed on each
floor which connects with central bureau.
When the watchman comes on at night he
strikes the first box. He is then given five
minutes to reach the next floor and notify
the bureau. If this is not done, a man is
sent around at once to see what is the mat
ter. If the watchman is sick, he rings
twice, and some one is sent to take
his place; if he goes to sleep or
gets drunk the fact will be discovered at
once. When the watchman discovers fire
in the house or near by, he rings the box.
and the bureau can post the fire der artment
at once. Much valuable time is often lost
in finding the key to fire box. People
don't know where it is, and they rush
around frantically. Newman is on the Gin
cinnati Salvage Corps, and the system is
used in that city"

SEEING SIGHTS In EUROPE.
Prof Andrews Describes a Trip Through
Liverpool and London A Ludicrous
Situation on a Steamer-View of West
minister Abbey,


Liverpool and London A Ludicrous
Situation on a steamer-view of West
minister Abbey.
Prof Samuel Andrews, who is spending
his summer vacation with the school teach
ers in Europe, has written letter to Dr. j.
w. Neely, of the West End The trip
across was a pleasant one, with the ex-
ception of one Sunday, when a terrific
storm arose. Along with the fears of dis
aster were some amusing and ludicrous
scenes. One of the latter is described by
Prof. Andrews as follows:
''There were four of us in one cabin-Mr.
j. W. Bell and two eminent Catholic clergy.
One of the latter weighed $50 and the
other 325 pounds averdupois They were
Jolly companions. As one of them was en-
deavoring to say his prayers on that fearful
night before retiring, he was thrown from
his chair across the room and then rolled to
the other side as he attempted to get up.
Then on all-fours he looked up to the bunk
from where was taking in the situation
and remarked: Andrews, don't you think
the Lord will forgive man for cutting his
prayers short in a storm like this?'"
Prince George was one of the passengers
on the steamer. Prof. Andrews, in COM
menting on the Prince, said: she is about
% wears of age and looks as if he might play
baccarat and get left"
After arriving in Liverpool the professor
describes the visits which, of course, are
always interesting to Americans: the
Kenilworth castle, now in ruins; Warwick
and the Queens castle; Stratford, the home
Of Shakespeare, and other points of interest.
The party then went to London. ''This
is certainly entitled to the reputation of
being the greatest city in the world" saws
Prof Andrews. 81 can get over good deal
of territory in a day, but might prolong
my stay in London for three weeks and
then would have avery limited knowledge
of the city. Westminster Abbey is a Won
derful structure. There are great many
burial vaults and a long series of monn-
ments to celebrated men who have filled
history with their deeds and the earth with
their renown."
The British Museum, the House of Par
lament, the London Bridge and HYDE Park
are described in an interesting manner He
pays a high compliment to the order in
London on Sunday The public parks and
all places of amusement are closed. The
party was leaving for Paris and Brussels
when the letter was written, July 20.

YEARS OF SUFFERING.
Another Local Case and Remarkable Result

Accomplished by the Electropathio
Physicians at 5O7 Penn Avenue.
'cFor more than five years 1 suffered as I
did not think it possible for human being
to suffer and live'
The speaker was Mrs. Mary J. Confer, who
lives at 11S Lacock street. Allegheny.
'I was first stricken with rheumatism, and
to anyone who has suffered from this disease
1 need not describe its tortures. Had con-
slant pains shooting from one muscle or
joint to another, and constant heavy, dull
aches. To this was added the pangs and e1-
cruciating twinges of neuralgia.
"My life was one of misery. and mere
EXISTENCE A TORTURE.
"The constant pain suffered finally re-
sultedin complete nervous prostration. In
somnia, or sleeplessness, was added to my
other ills, and l was in state bordering
upon frenzy.

Pittsburg and wasted quantities of money,
all to no avail While at times was helped,
temporarily, my case constantly grew
WORSE AND WORSE.
"My attention was called to the Pittsburg
Electropathic Institute, at 507 Penn avenue,
and as forlorn hope l determined to
try course of electricity. Iapplied to the
physicians in charge, and after diagnosing
my case they placed me under treatment
"To make u long story short after regu-
lar course of treatment am entirely cured.
My pains and aches have all left me. l can
not too highly commend the Institute, or

Three Remarkable Results Described by
Well-KnOwn Residents.
OVERW Hell NJ ING PROOF
Of the Superior Skill Of the Electro
pathic Physicians at 507
Penn Avenue.

Mr.. J. Palmer, one of Pittsburg's most
estimable citizens, living on Lawn street,
near Craft avenue Fourteenth ward), in
speaking of the rapid and wonderful recov-
cry he made from a case of rheumatism that
had sorely afflicted him for over eight
months, says:
"Only those who have been afflicted witha
similar trouble can have any idea of my
sufferings. These pains, sometimes dull.
other times sharp and shooting, made every
muscle and nerve throb with aches that we're
unbearable. My joints felt stiff, and every
movement was attended with
EXCRUCIATING SUFFERINGS.
"Even my most quiet moments were dis
turbed with the twinges of an aching body.
l tried different so-called cures without
avail. though some afforded me temporary
relief

81 had been feeling very well all day, when
suddenly without warning, 1 received the
stroke which made me perfectly helpless. 1
could not make any movement without as
sistance. My whole body felt as cold as ice.
For IA months l lay down stairs, my rela-
tfves fearing to move me. During that time
a number of physicians were in constant
attendance, and, while 1 would seem to
rally, there was never any perceptible per-
manent change for the better. Often times
I wished at the close of the day that before
morning came merciful Providence would
END MY SUFFERINGS.
"My husband had spent vast sums of money
in trying different cures but to no avail.
1 concluded to try, as last resort, the eff
cacy of the electrical treatment as applied
by the physicians ofsthe Electropathic In
stitute, 507 Penn avenue.
"The first treatment 1 received benefited
me SO much that was able to lift my arm
above my head. For six months before that
time 1 had been totally unable to raise
my arms at all. 1 gradually improved until
now l can do numerous duties that l
never dreamt would be my good fortune to
do again before died.
81 unhesitatingly recommend these physi-
clans and their methods, and feel sure that
they will effect permanent cure where re-
lief is at all possible"

REMARKABLE PROGRESS MADE.

"From that time on its progress has been
remarkable 1t has received the hearty
Endorsement of the national encampments
of the G. A R., and the commendation of
the most prominent comrades. General
John A. Logan in an address once
said when speaking of it: .And to the
Grand Army let me say, let the time never
come when you will contemplate the separ-
alton of the Relief Corps from the Grand
Army, and 1 thank God, as member of
this Grand Army, that He has brought to
the front this auxiliary
SIN the first seven years of its existence
it grew in membership to 102, 900; expended
in relief, 9,099 03; turned over to posts
of the G. A R.. S126, ,1Ss 81. A National
Womans Relief Corps Home has
also been established at Geneva, O.,
to which the citizens of Geneva are
building an addition costing $500 This
Home is for army nurses and widows of
soldiers. The Department of Pennsylvania
was organized June, 1884, and in the first
six years turned over to posts S22, ,312 SO;
expended in relief, S1O,651 49, The Penn
sylvania Memorial Home at Brookville was
also established by the Woman's Relief
Corps of Pennsylvania, and during the last
18 months it has maintained so inmates, in
cluding old soldiers and their wives, widows
and homeless orphans. 1t has paid 81, 800
indebtedness on the property. 1t is the
first home of the kind in the world, so far
as known"
