THOROUGH INVESTIGATION

A BOLD ASSERTION

Ever since Prof. Koch startled the world
ey promising to cure consumption with the
Koch lymph and his complete failure to do
so, the people have been looking for some
discovery which would prove an absolute.
certain cure for that dread disease. Over a
quarter of a century ago DIR. r. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, put in a claim
for a medicine, which he had discovered
and used, IN his extensive practice. that
would cure ninety-eight per cent. ofall cases
OF consumption when taken in all its early
stages Time has proved that his assertion
was based on facts gained from experience.
His Golden Medical Discovery " has cured
many thousand people in all parts of the
world, and DR.. Pierce invites all interested
TO send to him for a free book which gives
the names, addresses and photographs of
many prominent people who nave willingly
testified to the marvellous curative proper.

MASONS LOSE BY FIRE
FLAMES PLAY HAVOC WfrH TUE Or
DER's TEMPLE At BOSTON.
Scottish Riters, knights Templars and
Blue Lodge Members Suner-LOss
Between $15O,OOO and 100000.

BOSTON, Sept. 7.-Masonic Temple, which
last week was resplendent with decorations
on the occasion of the Knights Templars
conclave, Is to-day the scene of desolation
and destruction wrought by fire, which was
discovered shortly. after 10 o'clock this
morning, and which Quilted the two upper
stories. Owing to an accident a false alarm
was rung in from the Parker House, and a
delay of nearly twenty mute occurred
before the department was ready to work
at the Masonic Temple. The fire in the
meantime had gained considerable head
way. Fire was first discovered in the ante
room OF the Reeve Lodge, on the third
floor, and in a short time mad eaten it's way
to the fourth floor and from thence to the
roof, when Chief Weber ordered a second
alarm, and shortly afterwards a third
alarm was rung in. From that time the
department strained every nerve to keep
the fire from spreading. District Chief Re-
gan, while directing the efforts OF his men
from the tower, nearly twenty feet above
the roof, was suddenly obliged to fly for
his life from the smoke and flames. He
scrambled down and sought safety along a
narrow ledge, four inches wide. After an
hour and a half the fire was under control.
The third and fourth floors and the roof
were Quilted, while on the second floor the
fire had scorched a number of rooms in the
rear.
The loss is estimated at from $50. 600 to
500, 900, but no reliable estimate can be OBJ
tained until the underwriters nave done
their work. All of the regalia of the Scot
fish Rite, one Of the most expensive outfits
in the Masonic order, was destroyed. and
the Gothic hall, Egyptian hall and red
rooms, with their valuable tapestries and
furnishings, were ruined. A number Of val
uabl paintings were saved. There were
twenty-sfx lodges and communicates which
met in the temple, and all of them will suf-
fer some loss. The Boston commandery
has a blanket insurance OF S25,0 900 on its re-
galias and uniforms. and 1t is thought the
others are covered in a like manner.
Several accidents ccurred during the fire.
District Chief Egan was carried by a fall
ing roof thirty feet, and suffered a broken
leg, injuries to his head and severe internal
injuries. Lieutenant Madden's skull was
fractured, he being struck by a broken
pipe from his engine. Fireman James
Downey, of ladder company No. /, was
struck on the head by a. piece of slate.
