Their life is one of extreme simplicity, and

DIPHTHERIA

Too many homes bear this fear-insplr-
ing placard, denoting the prevalence Of
that most insidious and dreaded of all
diseases Diphtheria.
1t is to-day recognized fact among the
best practitioners that nine out of ten
cases formerly considered hopeless may
be brought to happy termination by
the use of that great original raw food
product,
Bovinine.
This great blood-generating, life-main-
tanning, strength-developlng, and flesh
producing product of lean, raw meat,
contains the greatest amount OF life
preserving qualities In the least pos
sible bulk of any preparation known.
In cases of Diphtheria, Bovinine has
special advantages. In this disease, as
in others, the rapidity with which it Is
assimilated gives to 1t preference over
all other foods, passing, as It does, into
the system Immediately, without causing
the digestive organs to perform any labor.
And considering the fact that the LESSONS
In the throat prevent the swallowing Of
solid food, 1t becomes an absolute neces-
sity. In the worst cases, where even
liquids cannot be taken by the mouth,
Bovinine
Saves Life
by being used as an injection. Above all,
Bovinine Is in itself germicide, and in
all such diseases as Diphtheria, caused by
microbes, 1t not only performs its greatest
mission Of maintaining life, but antldotes
che existing bacilli.
Bovinine has done wonders In thousands
Of cases of Diphtheria. When your doctor
uses 1t you may cease to worry, and be
assured Of speedy recovery. To neglect
Its use may mean years Of remorse in the
feeling that some loved one might still be
with you II everything possible had been
done. Boyinine is sold by all Druggists

of 200 miles an hour, and is designed by
the inventor to carry mail between the
principal cities of the country. This
car Is to be thirty three feet long and to
run on a steel elevated track eighteen
feet above the ground, and it is estimat-
ed that the road will cost $4,000 q mile.
The car is provided with an apparatus
for picking up and throwing off mail,
so arranged that 1t will work automatic
ally. The model is provided with thir-
ty-four apartments, and carrying out
the scale of the model the bags to be
dropped in each place will be capable
of holding 10000 letters.
Under the patentee's idea power
houses can be supplied at intervals of
200 miles, and the electric current, sufH-
cient to make the entire run between
New York and Chicago, may be gener-
ated from the waste power at Niagara
falls. 1t is so arranged that the opera
tor in the central electric station will
always know the location of the car.

Security VIII Dc Endan.
gcrcd by BackdOwn.

Washington, May Sail advices re-
ceived here continue to throw doubt
upon the statements made by Eur
opean newspapers as to Japan having
backed down at the last moment and
modified the provisions of the treaty
entered into with China. The conflict
of statements is absolutely irreconcili-
able. Unofficial advices, but which are
regarded as entirely trustworthy, re-
ceived from Japan give the definite
terms of peace agreed upon by the
plenipotentiaries on the part of China
and Japan at Shomonoseki a month
ago. just as heretofore published.
The permanent occupation of Man
chUra, upon which Japan at first in
sisted, was abandoned before the treaty
was signed, and Japan also consented
to reduction in the amount of the war
indemnity. AS stated in the United
Press dispatches several days ago,
Japan has agreed to make certain con-
cessons regarding her control of the
Liao-Tung Peninsula, but that she has
agreed to renounce all control over this
territory is disbelieved, notwithstand-
ing the dispatches from Europe and the
far East.
There is said to be probability that
Count Ito may resign as the head of
the emperor's cabinet as result of the
moderate concessions heretofore re-
ported. An abslute backdown on the
Part of Japan would endanger the
domestic security Of the empire.
1t Is hoped that final and authorita-
tive information as to the exact terms
of the peace conditions ratified at Che
Foo today will be received by tonight
or tOmorrW mrning.

WANTED HAhLSTEAD'S PARK.
A Greedy Individual Attempts to Fence in
Portion of the Lawn-Town Officials
Infcrfcrc


Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Hallstead, May S.-Considerable ex-
citement was created on Monday morn
Ing by party who attempted to erect
wire fence around some of the land
on the bank of the river, to which he
claimed to have secured title.
All of said bank as well as the rest of
the land situated on the river bank
having been used as a public park for
upward of seventy-five years is claimed
by the borough as borough property.
The workmen had made but little
headway with the fence when the
waves of Indignation arose from good
people and borough authorities. The
posts were cut down and the fence was
tumbled down the bank by the burgess
and his assistants. The workmen took
their tools and remaining wire and
went their way.
But Immediately afterward the
would-be owner of said grounds ar
rived on the scene of conflict with new
posts and more wire. He at once, with
his help, proceeded to fencing The
posts were soon in position and the
wire would have been ditto, had not

was likewise tumbled down the bank
to mingle with the waters of the Sus-
quehanna. A brief war of words ended
the second scene. Quiet was soon re-
gained and peace reigned supreme un-
til Wednesday morning.
When our citizens arose to proceed
with the scenes of the day they were
shocked to discover that the beautiful
green on the disputed tract had, in the
night, been mutilated with plow, and
later some boxes with rubbish were
dumped thereon. The sod has been re-
placed and every law-abidng and pub
lic-spirited citizen hopes that the fool
ishness is ended and that right will
prevail.

Baltimore, Md, May S.-Six persons
were probably fatally burned by the
explosion of a gasoline stove and the
fire which followed in a sweat shop at
1924 East Pratt street, this evening. The
explosion occurred in the third story of
the building, and the burning fluid flew
in all directions, igniting the clothing

But for the heroic conduct of a col
ored teamster-Samuei Morris-who
heard the frenzied appeals for help, five
of the unfortunates would not have
been taken alive from the garret. Nor
ris rushed upstairs and found the door
of the sweat shop securely locked. He
reached the veranda in front of the sec
ond story windows and called to the
panic stricken inmates of the third
story to jump. One woman had already
leaped from the third story window to
the street, her clothing in flames. She
was saved from instant death by Tom
McGuigan. whose outstretched arms
broke her fall.
Morris caught two others in his arms,
smothered the flames in which they
were enveloped and carried them to the
sidewalk. He then ran upstairs again.

woman. The injured persons were
quickly removed to the Baltimore Uni

repeal Mr.. Balfour's coercion act. John

A number of officials hurriedly seized
Rosa, and, amid great excitement. he

when he had finished the first sentence
of what was evidently intended to be
an extended harangue. Rosa was con-
Quoted outside the chamber and for
