one is sure the lost breath will never re-

FATAL FIRE AT BUFFALO.
Two Persons Burned to Death and q
Score Injured.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan 1.-The new year
was little more than twenty-four hours.
old when Buffalo was visited by one Of
the most fatal fires in her history. The
scene of the fire, which occurred early
this morning, was Mrs. Annie Hackett's
lodging house, No. II Swan street, q four
story brick building of the e-down
order. The first floor was used for a sa-
loon and restaurant; the second and third
floors were used for sleeping rooms. The
beds were in little compartments, like box
stalls in a stable. Shortly before 3 o'clock
people passing heard the large panes of
glass in the saloon crack, and a moment
later a cloud of thick black smoke and a
tongue of flame darted out of the place.
Almost at the same time the front and
side windows OF the lodging house seemed
to be alive with panic-stricken people.
They rushed from one window to the other
and called piteously to the crowd to help
them to escape from the blazing building.
There were no ladders anywhere, no fire
escapes on the building and no way to save
the frenzied occupants. Two people were
burned and about twenty others badly in
jured. at least five of whom are likely to
die. Following is a list OF the casualties:
Dead-Isaac Bradley, printer; woman
known as Edna. day cook.
Injured-Mrs. Annie Hackett, proprie-
tress. burned about head and arms; Louis
Anderson, ledger. probably fatally burned
about head, face and arms; David E.
Ward. negro cook, probably fatally burned
about head. face and hands; Edward Cross,
of California, frightfully burned about
face. head, hands and feet, may not re-
cover; Charles Pence, c%olored, private de-
tective, hands and feet in bad shape; will
probably die. Charles Edwards, printer,
left arm broken. body badly burned; he
ably fatally hurt. John Avery, of Pal;
myra, n. Y. also jumped from the third
story: his legs are badly burned and
bruised. George Wright, bartender, hair
burned off. hands and face blistered; will
live. George Fleming, arms and face
burned. George Harrington. left shoulder
dislocated and his back burned. j: f. Rus
sell, painter and decorator, of Olcott, n.
y. burned about arms and body; Will
live. William Sweeney, shoemaker. slight
Is burned about legs.
The loss on property was very small,
probably not more than $1,000.

WOODEN MANUFACTURERS.
Association FOrmed-StrOng Protest
Against the Wilson Bill.


The wooden manufacturers of Indiana
met in Room So in the Statehouse. at 2
o'clock yesterday. and organized the AS
ISOLATION of Indiana Wooden Manufacturers.
George Merritt, OF indianapolis, was elect
ed president; Lewis Schneck, Of Seymour,
Ind, and J. Schofeld, of Madison. Ind,
vice presidents. and Harry S. Willard. of
Indianapolis, secretary. Short addresses
were made by many present.
A committee from the Wool-growers'
Association invited the Association of Indi-
ana Wooden Manufacturers to join In a
meeting Of those attending the industrial
congress to discuss the effect that the pro-
posed tariff legislation would have on in
dustries. This invitation was unanimously
accepted.
A committee was appointed consisting Of
c. b. Stevenson, South Bend, Ind; c.. NJ.
Cowan, TOWNSVILLE, Ind, and L. ID. Bar
rows, Of LaPorte, Ind, TO draft resolu-
tons on the tariff question and report at
q meeting to be held at the Grand Hotel
at Z p. m. AT this adjourned meeting the
following protest was read and unanimous
~ adopted:
ITO the Honorable House of Representa-
-tives and Senate of the United States:
THE vollen manufacturers OF Indiana,
In convention m hereby most en-
phatlcally protest against the passage Oh
the tariff measure known as the Wilson
bin, and we earnestly pray our Representa-
tives and Senators to vote against said bill
or any similar measure.
I'VE believe the passage or said bill will
impose a serious injury on our whole in
dustrial SYSTEM, as indeed 1t will prove
entirely destructive to many of our in
dustries.
Its determinations against farming
interests is an assault on the very founda-
tion of all creative Industries.
Free wool would result in humiliation
of one of the most important farm in
d~ustries, which at once reduces the pur-
chasing capacity of the farmer and changes
the base of material supply of the Western
wooden manufacturers from their own To-
cality TO foreign countries.
mot one manufacturing class in this
country has asked for such a law, farmers
have not asked for it, then why should it
be forced upon US? \
Therefore we repeat and respectfully
urge our Representatives and Senators to
use their influence and vote against the
Wilson bill"
The meeting then adjourned to meet at
10 o'clock to-day.

HOPE FOR THE HAIRLESS.
Professor Birkholz, of Chicago, Gives
Hope To Those Afflicted with Bald
ness-A "No Cure, No Pay Treat
mani

ment.
Prof. G.. Birkholz, of Chicago, the emf
nent German specialist, who for years has
devoted his time and talent to the study
of the hair follicles. and who has evolved
the most successful treatment for bald
ness the world has ever known, has opened
a branch Office in this city at No. 14 North
Delaware street.
he will carefully examine each case and
candidly inform the inquirer whether his
badness can be cured and the hair be re-
stored. These examinations are made with
out charge.
In all cases where there are any hair
follicleS remaining undeStroyed by age or
disease the Professor will undertake a cure,
and IL he does not effect a restoration of
the hair he will ask no pay.
The remedy is IN imported one, and the
treatment given by the Professor is his
own, and cures where all others fail. If
your case has been pronounced incurable
DO not take il as a final answer until YOU
have seen Professor Birkholz and received
his opinion.
Many persons have small bald spots
through the hair. These increase in area
and In time produce complete badness.
In such cases the hair follicles need nour-
ishment. Prompt treatment will bring
them into activity and restore the hair.
The success that has attended Professor
BirkholZ everywhere enables him To give
a positive opinion in each case presented to
him. Those who are bald or are threat
ened with badness should not delay treat
ment, but call upon the Professor at once.
