A THOUGHT FOR HIS FAMILY

At his request all communication with
his residence was shut off, and his
brotber-in- law was sent to inform his
wife and to reassure her. She gave birth
TO child 10 days ago, and is still con-
fined to her room. Though greatly dis
tressed by the news, she bore herself
bravely. Alter some difficulty the bullet
lodged in his neck was removed, and
Frick was soon resting easier. The news
created intense excitement, and kilograms
poured In on Frick from persons high
and low, from various parts of the cnun
try. A. no time did he express fear as
to his condition, and after the removal of
the bullet, he dictated letter to bis
steuographer, and received reports about
the condition of affairs at Homestead,
He refused all medicine until 5 o'clock,
when be was given sedative, and has
been sleeping soundly. He was removed
to his home soon after z o'clock. DR..
Litchield is confident Frick will recover
although be is seriously injured. At
midnight he was resting easy. News of
the attempted ASSASSINATION spread
RAPIDLY In five minutes after the shoot
ing, Fifth avenue, from Market to Woods
streets. was packed with people, and the
greatest indignation was expressed at the
cowardly deed.

Arlington Record: A thorough inquiry
from many farmers this week reveals the
fact that the yield of this county will not
be nearly as bad as heretofore reported.
The farmers on Rock creek will produce an
unusually larg, cop OF hay and grain, while
their vegetable and fruit crops are above the
average. Adding to this the assured fact
that near;y all of those on up-lands will
produce an amount of feed and seed for an
extensive acreage OF summer faliow, and
many cf them will market fair crops, we
can then see that our farmers are yet in
their usual prosperous condition. The
potato crop ON up.lands is reported as the
poorest known for many years.

A STRUGGLE WITH THE ASSASSIN

At this moment. Mr.. Leisbman threw
himself ON the assassin and struggled to
get the revolver. He clutched the barrel
and turned the muzzle up as the man
pulled the trigger again, the ball entering
the ceiling. The desperate man then
drew a dagger and attempted to stab
LeishmaD. FrIck saw the gleam of steel,
and although staggered by the snock of
the wounds and bleeding prolusely.
jumped between the men and seized
Berkman's arm. The latter freed him
self from Leishman's grasp and plunged
the dagger into Frlck's right side just
above the nip, making an ugly. wound
three inches long. He made another
Iunge. and this time the knife struck
higher up. but the point struck a RIB and
glanced off without inflictlng much in
jury. Twice again was the knife thruss
at Frick, but he was merely scratched.
By this time the Office clerks and Deputy
Sheriff May entered the loom. May had
drawn his revolver and was about to
shoot Berkman In the back, when Frick
cried out, "Don't kill him, we've got him
all right, leave him to the law" The
man broke away and tired to escape, but
he was secured and taken to the station
In five minutes half dozen surgeons
were on hand, and Frick's wounds were
attended to-, He was calm, had perfect
command of his faculties and apparently
was less excited than any other person in
the room F,om time to time he made
suggestions, and half an hour after the
shooting he dictated message to An
drew Carnegie about the assault.

will be startling news to the many friends
of Mr.. Wall, who is well and fsvorably
known in this city: t'Mr. A: ). Wall, of
The Dalles, has not been seen since week
ago Sunday. and much anxiety is felt on his
account. Mr.. r. W. Barter is bestirring

has become almost discouraged at his lack
of success. Mr.. Wall had several hundred
dollars on his person when last seen, and
also some diamonds. He has a store and

Bullet and Knife.


PITTsBURG, Pa, July 25.-A desperate
and almost successful attepmt was made
this afternoon to assassinate Henry Clay
Frick, chairman of the Carnegie Steel
Company. Limited. His assailant was
| Alexander Berkman, a Russian Jew, who
came here from New York with the evi
dent intention of killing Frick. 1t was
few minutes before 9 o'clock this after
noon when the young man entered the
elevator in the Chronicle building, and
asked to be let off at Frick's Office. The
young man has been a frequent visitor
the past few days and the elevator boy
thought nothing of the request. Two
minutes later the occupants of the build
ing and passers-by on Fifth avenue were
startled by three pistol shots, fired in
rapid succession. The man had tried to
essasslna;e the great steelmaster, but the
latter, notwithstanding two bullet wounds
and four ugly gashes from dagger, is
still alive and will probably recover.
Before the man came in Mr.. Leishman.
the business partner of Frlck. had entered
the office and was holding private con-
ference. The office boy noticed a man
come in hurriedly from the outside and
pass through the railing, but before he
could stop him the stranger had entered
the private office. He sprang to within
five feet of Frick, and quickly drawing a
revolver pulled the trigger The first
cartridge did not explode, hut the second
shot entered the back of Frlck's neck,
glanced down and passed out below the
arm pit. Frick jumped tc window
opening on Fifth avenue and tried TO
open it but couldn't. Berkman rushed
up to him again and fired, the ball enter
ing the left side OF his neck and passing
around lodged under the right ear.

Electricity In a Modern Office.

Electricity has not only marvelously in
creased the comforts OF the modern house,
but is now slowly but surely becoming q
pervading influence in the modern office.
This is well shown by glance ar the office
of the business MANAGER of New York
electrical newspaper. Over his desk hang
convenient and adjustable incandescent
lights At one side of the desk stands Il
little fan motor run by small storage bat
teries, and behind him at a short distance is
another fan of larger size, so that he can
in an instant place himself in the focus of
any description of air wave that the weather
may demand, from q zephyr TO q small
gale Close to his hand on the
front of the desk is q miniature switchboard
and "buZZer' box and portable upright
telephone. With this he has instantaneous
communication with ei.ht different depart
ments OF the office and can give instruction
or receive Information on any point by the
mere insertion of plug in the board. Be-
hind the chair of the manager is phono-
graph run by storage battery. He Is one OF
those who had patience and 1ntelllgence
enough to learn how to get out OF the In
strument Just what it was intended for He
about it, but even ii there were, 1t would re.
pay tenfold any pains spent on IL On
scOrching summers day, when people are
being parboiled in the street below, he Will
turn on his fans, and often dictate as many
as a hundred letters in a morning on the IN
strumeut. He is almost as fresh at the
finish as he was when he began The

and there is no reason why it should not DO
the rule and not the exception.

Acute Ncryous Prostratiou.

One of the most dangerous and common
forms of acute nervous prostration is known
as sunstroke The prostration caused by
overheating the body does not always result
in sunstroke, but more commonly in milder
forms of depression. such as nervous head
ache, dizziness, faintness, sleeplessness,
palpitation, mental confusion, abundant,
clear urine, creeping rigors, flashes of heat,
and shortness of breath at the least exer-
ton. All of the above-nanied symptoms of
acute prostration are more prevalent during
the months of June and July than at any
other season of the year. Even people who
have the most vigorous health are liable to
attacks Of prostration during the hot waves
of early summer.
The only saie course to take is to keep
the blood pure, digestion good and sleep
regular. No remedy equals in all respects
Pe-ru-na for these purposes. A dose of Pc
ru-na before each meal during the hot sea-
son is safeguard of priceless value. Espe-
pecially those who are in the least subject
to nervous prostration should not neglect
to provide themselves with Pe-ru-na, the
greatest of all nerve and brain restoratives
known 20 the medical world. Complete
directions for use on each bottle. For

Tanning by Electricity.

Tanning by electricity is now systematic
ally carried on in Paris. The process con-
sists in the employment of electricity in
connection with rotating drums, which
place the skins in direct contact with the
tanning liquors BY this combined action
of electricity and rotation a continual re-
newal of the surfaces is brought about, and
the tanning process is greatly expedited.
Ok, cow and steer hides are tanned by this
process in 96 hours, horse and heavy
calf skins in ~ hours, and medidm and
light skins in 48 hours The Importance
of this innovation in hide curing will be ap-
parent when IL is considered that the cleo
trio method accomplisheS in Sc hours what
would require from II to IA months by tan
ming in a vat, and from five to six months
by the process of agitation. The favorite
theory is that the skins act like accumula-
tor plates: that is, they constitute, as it
were, enormous pol Gus electrodes upon
which the gases are liberated, and which
are susceptible of absorbing the gases aris-
ing from the electrolysis which takes place.
1.-THE same time the well known phenomena
of osmose take place; the capilarity OF the
cells of the skins is modified or interrupted;
the cells are emptied of the liquors which
they contain. and these liquors are replaced
by the tanning liquors, which brought into
contact with the interior of the skins at in
Vulnerable points. produce a Transformation
of the hide with remarkable rapidity. The
operation is characterized by the absence Of
both noise and bad Odors, and electrically
tanned leather is said to be fully equal in
quality to that obtained by the old method.

and it would appear that he died while
the expedition was on it's return to Zanzi-
bar. The sturdy explorer was Canadian,
having seen the light at Halifax, Nova
Scotia. He was still nnder 30 years of age.
Fifteen years ago he studied at Kingston,
the Sandhurst OF Canada. ultimately gradu-
ating there with honors. He then went to
New Zealand as Government Railway En-
gineer, and eventually came to England to
take up a commission in the Royal Engi-
neers. AS soon as Mr.. Stanley saw Lieu
tenant Stairs, the latter's fate was fixed.
His gallant work in connection with the
Emin Pasha Relief Expedition is still fresh
in the public mind. On his return, many
presentations and honors of various kinds
were showered upon him-among other
things he was appointed Adjutsnt Of the
Royal Engineers at Aldershot. 1t is little
more than year since Captain Stairs sailed
from the Albert dock on the expedition
which has had so melancholy termination.

CONGREGATIONAL FACTS.

| Statistics in the New Year Book, just Out
A Very Light Showing in the Vicinity
of Pittsburg-The Church Which Gives
Most.
The Congregational Year Book for
1892. just out, is one of the most complete

Congregationalism has never had strong
foothold in Western Pennsylvania, this re-
gion having been pre-empted at an early
dav by Scotch-Irish Presbyterians Some
of the strong Presbyterian churches of this
city are made up OF large New England
Congregational element, but Pittsburg has
not Congregational society, with the ex-
ception of two that are Welsh. Allegheny
and Braddock have each an English Con-
gregational Church.
But while the church of Cromwell and
Plymouth Rock has but weak following
in this section the Year Book reveals the
fact that it is one of the great religious
powers of the land. Congregationalists
contribute more per head for the worlds
evangelization than any church of the land.
The total number of churches is now 1885,
an increase of 168 over. last year; church
membership. 525, ,097, an increase of 1926
over last year; Sunday school membership,
