Perhaps, but rheumatism need not add to
the calamities to which we are more or less
subject, when there is such an efficient
means of counteracting the dire complaint
as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. When the
liver, bowels or stomach are out of order,
or the kidneys or nerves troublesome, the
Bitters is also an efficient remedy. II pre-

The Headquarters of the American
Federation of Labor.
In Saturday afternoons session of the
American Federation of Labor at Cincin-
natl, when the committee on law reported
in favor of removing the Headquarters
from Indianapolis, a long fight followed.
1t required a two-thirds vote to strike OUT
indianapolis from the constitutional pro-
vision for the location of headquarters, and
cnly a majority vote was necessary to in
sert the name of another city. One of the
objections made against Indianapolis was
its lack of facilities for disseminating in
formation or news and orders from the
general officers through the press associa-
tions.
Henry Hedderick of the Central Labor
Union of Indianapolis, presented the claim
of Indianapolis with its central locatioi
and a saving in travelling expenses thereby
President GomperS was among the man
favoring a change to a larger city. Th
change was due to a general desire to ha> d,

The vote resulted: Yeas, ,J94: nays, 7ai
AS this was more than the requisite two
thirds vote. the word 'Indianapolis' wa
stricken out, and then came the fight b,
tween Washington and Chicago.
Delegate MARI presented the claims
Washington and Delegate Kenehan thos
of Chicago. A very animated discussioa
followed under the pretext of secondinf
the nominations.
The first ballot resulted: Washington

Shortly after 730 o'clock Policeman Nc

East 5Sth street overlooking tie river, and
turned in an alarm. Flames were issuin z
from all the Windows and the fire. which
must have spread with great rapidity. had
gained enough headway to reach all of the
upper floors. The building was ,hree-
story and basement structure of brown
stone, and was the home of Aaron Gold
smith, of the firm of Hartman 4 Goldsmith,
wholesale liquor Dealers of 45 Warren
street. Mr.. Goldsmith's family consisted Of
Mrs. Goldsmith and their three children,
all of whom We're burned to a crisp and be-
yond recognition.
In the front parlor was an immense piano
lamp. This lamp undoubtedly exploded,
throwing the oil about and spreading the
fire In every direction. The flames quickly
reached the two upper floors. From the
location of the bodies when found, Mr. and
Mrs. Goldsmith, with their six-year-old son,
must have been in the parlor, while the
two little girls had just been prepared for
bed by the servant.
Mary Roska was taken to the Flower
Hospital. where 1t was found that she was
suffering only from a few bruises ami
shock She was seen soon after the fire,
but was too hysterical to give a clear ac-
count of what had happened
When the firemens arrived they imme-
dtately ran ladder up to the third floor.
but were driven back by the flames, which
shot far out of the windows. At first tney
dds not know that any one was IN The
house.
Water was soon pla lying upon the flames.
which were quickly under control, but the
mousse was practically guttad. Then they
entered the house. On the second Aooy.

the two little girls. Bertha and Hattic They
had few burning remr ants of their night
clotnes clng1ng to them. Their little bodies
were burned to a crisp and beyond recogni.

In the parlor they found the bodies of Mr.
and Mrs. Goldsmith and their little son
Frank. They had evidently been fully dress
ed, but most of their clothing had been
burned from their bodies. which were also
burned beyond recognition.
