Fire This Morning.

The fire alarm turned in this morning
shortly after o'clock was caused by
small fire in the kitchen of the residence
of Representative Jno. Dalzell, 1905 New
Hampshire avenue. In four minutes from
the alarm three engines and a police patrol
wagon were on hand and made quick work
Of extinguishing what was a small blaze,
but which might have been disastrous but
for the promptness. As the engines came
up the streets We're filled with children on
their way to and about the Adams school
building near by, who did their share of
screaming and adding to the excitement,
but by the GOODNESS and good judgment of
the engine driver accidents were averted,
though it was close call for some of the
little ones.

Queens Failing Strength.

People who have seen Queen Victoria
since her return from Balmoral express
themselves shocked by her altered APP
pearance, and declare that she has aged
terribly during the last two or three
months Perhaps the most striking evil
dence of her increasing inflrmity and ply
steal weakness is the veto which her med
zeal attendants have placed upon the re-
sumption of her practice of the last thirty
wears of taking breakfast and tranSacting
her writing until lunch time in a chalet
constructed for the purpose at Frogmore,
not far from the mausoleum erected over
the tomb of her lamented husband. 1t has
been very difficult to get her majesty to
give way on this point, as she is firmly
welded to her old-fashioned habits and
customs. But that she should finally have
yielded proves that she herself is con-
scious of her declining strength.

Thorpe were little girls, and in the

looks as Il she had not her full share
Of arms. The story that n Of the
poets children had no arms Is doubt

distant households, where copies Of the
picture which flooded the country years
ago are cherished treasures. A story
ike that dies hard. Possibly there are
people nearer Boston who have moi
heard how Mr.. Lowell tried to stor

liant 1ssth N. T., v. l., Finally
Found What He Has Sought
Since the War Closed.
(Trom tie Ashtabuld, Ohio, Bedcon.)
Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought up
near Elmira, N. T., and from there enlisted
In the 1ssth regiment, N. T., v. L, with
which hs went through the war and saw
much hard service. Owing TO exposure and
hsrdships during the service, Mr. Taylor con-
tracted chronic disrrhea, from which he has
suffered now over thirty years, with abso-
iuteiy no help from physicians. By nature
he was q wonderfully vigorous man. Had
be not been, his disease and the experiments
Of the doctors had killed him long NC
Laudalum was the only thing which Afford
ed him relief. He had terrible headaches,
his nerves wore shattered, he could not sleep
an hour g day on an average, and he was re-
duced to a skeleton. A year g he and his
wife sought relief in a change Of climate and
removed to Geneva, Ohio; but the change In
health came not. Finally, on the recon-.
mendation off. J. Hoffnef, the leading drug
gist OF Geneva, who was cognizant Of similar
eases which Pink Pills had cured, Mr.. Taylor
was persuaded to try a box. "Asa drowning
ma &rasps 4 straw, 50 I took the pills, Say.
Mr.. Taylor "but with no more hope OF
rescue. But after thirty years Of suffering
and fruitless search for relief I at last found
n IN DR.. Williams Pink Pills. Tho day after
took the frst pills / commenced to feel better,
and when / a taken the first box I was In
fact a new man" That was two months ago.
Mr.. Taylor has since taken more of the pills
and his progress is steady, and he has the
utmost confidence IN them. He has regained
full control of his nerves and sleeps as well
as In his youth. Color il coming back to HE
parched veins and he Is gaining flesh and
strength rapidly. He is now able to do con-
siderable outdoor work.
As he concluded narrating his sufferings
experiences and cure to q Beacon reporter
Mrs. Taylor, who has been his faithful help
meet these many years, said she wished to
add her testimony in favor OF Pink Pills.
'"To the pills alone Is due the credit of rais-
ing Mf. Taylor from a helpless invalid to the
man he is to-day" said Mrs. Taylor. Both
Mr.. n Mrs. Taylor cannot ind words to OK
press the gratitude they feel or recommend
too highly Pink Pills to suffering humanity,
Any inquiries addressed to them at Geneya,
O., regarding Mr.. Taylor's case, they will
oheorfully answer, as they are anxious that
the whole world shall know what Pink Pills
have done for them and that suffering hu.
mantty may be benefited thereby.
DR.. Wiliams' Pin Pills contain all the ele
ments necessary to give new life and richness
to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are for sale by all druggists, or may be-
