Soft Beds for Inyal;ds.

Air beds are the modern sine qua non
of the invalid. Nothing can be more
restful and comfortable to the sick frame
than the relief from the bed fatigue
which this invention affords. They are
tick covered and readily inflated. The
slightest motion alters the position of
the occupant, and there is no such thing
as q lumpy surface possible beneath him.

Of the failure At first was thought To DO
TOO much confidence in Northern Paci-
ne securities. A later explanation
gives an entirely different light on the

MIR. Stern gave out the following state
ment: "The suspension OF the flrm or
Waylaud. Trssk x Co. Is due to the fact
that one of the partners, Theo Baldwin,
has been specializing on his own ac-
count and with the firms money. He
lost IN this way about $780, 900. Moth
ing WAS known of his operations until
Monday or Tuesday, when some OF the

Captain White says that for three

element In official circles, where

Seeking to Terrorize.
The anarchist society known as the
V. d. r., or "Vengeurs de Ravachol,' -
has been holding meetings since Fran
co.'s was brought over from London,
and it Is supposed his case Is occupying
their attention. An Italian anarchist
passing through Paris Is reported as
saying that the anarchists would not
attack private houses, ''since il is rarely
the victim aimed AT ls touched, and in
nocent victims are the consequence.
We will attack public offices to destroy
the records and terrify the instruments
of bourgeois rule aud the banks to de-
stroy capital, and in that way we will
strike blow at the bourgeois society
of today from which it will find it diff
ticult to recover"
Francois is salc to be as defiant in the
French prison IS he was III London. He
has been followed here by his alleged
wife. 6 pretty woman, Already under
police surveillance, and said to be as de-
voted to the anarchist cause as Fran
co.'s himself. Francois is said to have
told the judge d'instruction tina. if he
has to go to the scaffold he will go sing
ing, like Ravachol. The authorities are
satisfied that Francois has been the
leading spirit of the anarchists since
the execution of Ravachol and no ef.
fort will be spared to bring him to the
