WITH ANlRoN THROAT.
This Ma Would Defy the stranslsr s.
the Hanwman.

the Hangmans
One OF the best known members 81
= local athletic club is known as sIthe
man with an iron throat Not that II
Is iron clad but because no amount Of
pressure. that has yet been applied ia
that portion of his anatomy has been
sufficient to strangle him or stop his
breathing.
There was q jolly party Of gentle
men in an uptown cafe the other
night. During a lull in the CONVERSE
ton the iron throated man made this
remark:
81 think that / have the most re.
markable throat in the world. I have
given you illustration of 1t and
am now ready to exhibit another. !
would like to have some gentleman
with a strong grip-the stronger the
better-to try to choke me in such a
manner that I will be unable to talk
or breathe. If you succeed I will for
felt $10."
Instantly the offer was accepted by
q man who had once held the amateur
heavy weight wrestling championship.
He stepped forward and the iron
throated man stood up.
Don't be afraid of hurting me-" he
said, 'and be sure to squeeze as hard
as you know how"
Then he drew himself up to his full
height and the athlete clutcheu him
tightly around the throat with both
hands. More and more he pressed,
but without producing any visible
effect. Precipitation started upon the
athletes brow as he further contracted
his fingers, but the subject only smiled
and then whistled a strain from a pop
ular air.
But still the athlete struggled to
make an impression upon the seeming
ly impregnable throat. It was, how
ever in vain.
why don't you press harder, my
boyp' inquired the wonder. "You
are not exerting yourself at all, are
you?" and then tho victim gave up in
despair.
''WelL," remarked the athlete as he
relaxed his hold, 'you are the most
r~elndfhaule ma l eVer saw, Tor q fact.
Why, my fingers are stiff and cramp-
but you seem to be all right. What
Is tho secretp"
But the wonder only smiled and re-
fused to make any revelations.
I, however, succeeded in extracting
the story from him, and I give it in
his own words: 1T is explained in a
words. First draw your head
and downward and again
make the muscles rigid. Keep them
so and your friend may squeeze until
is tired without doing you any
harm.
"The reason" he added, .'for draw
your head down is that your jaw
bone more or less comes in contact
your friends fingers and to a
great extent precludes the possibility
Of COMPRISING the larynx. Oh, yes,
t is necessary to have we'll developed
muscles, but they can be acquired if
you don't happen to have 'em. AS for
myself" he said in conclusion, Il have
not been strangled yet and l am still
IN the tield."--New York Herald.

THREE THOUSAND DEAD
The Island of Sangir Buried
Under Rivers of Lava.
AFRIaHTFUI VOLCANIC ERUPTION.

After the Island Had Been split Asun-
der by Earthquakes Gunona AVN
Poured Forth Its Fiery streams of Death
and Overwhelmed the Inhabitants.
HAGUE, July 49, Official confirmation
Jas been received here from Batavia Of the
reported vocanic eruption on the island of
sangir, in tho Celebes sea, between Celebes
and Mindano The eruption came from
volcano known as Gunona AVN. It took
place just after nightfall. The inhabitants
Of the northwestern part Of the island had
felt occasional earthquakes throughout the
day, and during the preceding night steam
and fire were seen issuing from the volcano.
Such threatening phenomena have been
frequent on the island for the last three or
four years and little apprehension was felt.
About two hours after sundown the whole
island was shaken so violently that huts
and houses collapsed and great tissues APP
peared in the rocky formation at the north
western end. Several small sailing vessels
from other islands were anchored off the
coast.
Their crews hastily weighed anchor, but
before they could get out to sea the erup-
tion came. Great stones and showers Of
ashes filed the air, three great tidal waves
ebbed and flowed along the shore, and in
the darkness all the boats went ashore The
eruption had come with such suddenness
that few realized the nature of the danger.
Burned and Smothered to Death.
just before the storm of ashes and stones
several Dutch traders had seen the volcano
belch up great mass Of fame and started
to give the alarm, but before they got half
mile the blackness began to close around
them. They seized rowboat and pulled
out 10 sea, whence they watched the erup-
tion, and where they drifted about until
picked up by Dutch vessel, which took
them to Batavia. They say that the whole
northwestern end of the island was buried
in ashes and lava. The huts took fire, and
those Of the natives who were not burned
to death in the towns were covered and
smothered in the ashes
Lava ran in streams two and three feet
deep and twenty or thirty feet wide down
the mountain side and into the sea. The
loss of life on the northwestern end was at
least 2,50O
On other parts of the island the villages
We're wrecked, and the people were almost
stified by the poisonous gases and ashes that
filled the air. The total number Of violent
deaths in these parts, it is reported, will not
exceed four or five hundred The volcano
was still throwing up lava and powders,
but IN insignificant quantities, when the last
vessels now at Batavia passed the island

GAS STOVES

Are Invaluable and should be investi-
gated by careful housekeepers.
About / 200 are IN use in this city and
the number would be greatly increased II
their merits were fully understood
As Cookers they are unrivalled and
are far superior 20 coal or wood stoves in
cooking meats or vegetables.
As Water Heaters and Hlroners"
they are most useful, especially when the
weather is too warm TO use the ordinary
stove or range
AS q heating apparatus that can be
moved from room TO room in few min
utes by the housekeeper they are most
convenient
As assistant heaters in rooms where
furnaces or steam heat win not ascend
on the windward side they have given
great satisfaction.
AS permanent heaters in rooms that
cannot be reached BY heating fues they
have given much comfort
AS Intermittent heaters, where heat is
wanted only an hour or two at time,
they are economical
For Offices and stores, when the weather
is rather warm for furnace fires they
may prevent sickness.
For spring and autumn use, when mild
days make furnace fires oppressive, trou-
blesome and expensive, they are comfort
able and economical.
As fires that can be started in a min
ute and extinguished in less time, they
are most satisfactory.
AS heaters that avoid ASHES, COAL
GAS and DUST, they are valued by pru-
dent housekeepers.
Modern Gas Stoves are not only useful,
but are ornamental.
The gas the stoves, the fixtures and
the putting in are inexpensive.
