A DEATH TRAP.
Collapse Of Ford's Theatre IN Washington car
ries Death and Desolation TO Many Homes.

CoIlapse of Ford's Theatre IN Washington car
ries Death and Desolation to Many Homes.
Saturday, June 10th, 1898, was a
fateful day in Washington. Old
Ford's Theatre, the scene Of the
Lincoln tragedy, which was used by
the Government as an adjunct to
the Pension record Division of the
War Department collapsed, and OF
the nearly 500 clerks employed
therein twenty-one were killed and
more than fifty MANNED.
The building collapsed in the
midst of an iiljudged effort to rem
edy some of its defects. The moral
Of the disaster, il there is any, is
emphasized by the fact that there
are known to be at least two govern
ment buildings-the printing office
and the Winder building annex Of
the war department-each contain
ing many more employees than were
Gagged in the Ford's theater death
trap, which are in an equally dan
gerous condition.
The hour Of the disaster was very
shortly after the departments had
settled down for the days work.
The workmen whose operations
under the building were the imme-
date cause of the catastrophe had
been tinkering upon it for two hours
or more. Half an hour earlier and
few lives would have been lost.
How ONE CLERK SAW 1T.
One of the most striking accounts
of the disaster is given by MIR. j.
L. Exnicios, who was on the second
floor and stood on the very edge OF
the horrible crater that so suddenly
opened in the center of the build
ing.
He heard a noise, he said, as If
something heavy had fallen on the
floor above. He glanced up and
was almost petrified to see the entire
floor coming down-slow and waver-
ing at first and then more swift in
its progress-bearing to death its
load of humanity.
The floor started from the front
wall, and was at an angle as it went |
down. When he first saw it the |
angle was not sharp enough to dis
turb the desks, and the startled oc-
cupants in some cases sat on their |
chairs not knowing what had hap
pened.
As the floor came on in it's awful |
progress he saw it bend and wave |
and then it crashed down on the
occupants of the floor beneath. He |
called on the clerks about him to |
run to the rear, aud many was
saved by their promptness in getting
away from the peril.
SKETCH OF THE FAMOUS BUILDING. |
The building which was the scene
OF the disaster is known the country
and the world over as the place
where President Lincoln was assas-
sinated by John Wilkes Booth on
the night of April IA, 1865. The
site was originally occupied by
church, built by the Rev. Obadiah
Brown, for years chief clerk in the
postoffice department.
In 1857 the property was sold to

The ordinary sick headache is one that comes from a variety of causes
 and the treatments arc likewise uu
 merous. But nearly all of them have more or less neuralgia tendencies and those can generally be treated very effectually with the bromides
 Bromide of lithium Is especially good m such headaches. as it induces sleep and rest to the brain when given in very small doses Some inhaIe chlo roform, but this is too dangerous a substitute for any but an expert to attempt to handle. The same Is true of the administration of cocune. chloral and morphine. The use of these soon cures the headache. but they produce other diseases far more dangerous Caffein Is very good. and 1t IS this principle in tea and coffee that makes these beverages so bene- tcial They will often relieve an at tack as quickly as some of the more powerful drugs.

The Only Negro in Conv,.,,.


 No member of the new House has attracted more attention than George Washington Murray, the black Representative of the black uistrlct (the Seventh of South Car. oilna. He IS not only the only man of color in Congress, but he is the hrst real African who has been there for years, O'Hara, of North Caro- lima, and the other colored men who have served in the house in recent years being almost white. But coal would make mark on Mir. Murrav's lace, which is, however, quite as in- teiligent and quite as good looking IH every way as those of his prede- cesSors. Mir.

The Jelly Fi.h a Wonder.

The jelly fish lays thousands of tiny eggs which, being covered with natural oars in the shape of numer- ous hairs, row themselves into some quiet place and settle down to await further developments. These eggs dc not turn to jelly fish any more than the butterhy's eggs turn to a butterfly. First, the stem springs from each and then the stem sub divides into numerous branches. each branch being covered with tiny cups, the mouth of each surrounded with small arms, technically called teachers" This is the first stage of the jelly fsh's life. Now comes the wonderful part of the story. As the warm weather advances this stem, which grew from the original egg and branched out from the vegetable growth, begins to bud and from each bud a minute speck of animal life springs forth-it is the jelly fish swimming out to test the doctrine of survival of the Attest" and to do battle with the innumer- able forms of organized beings St. Louis Republic.
