THE
Success
IS THE
PERFECT FILTER (!
BECAUSE:

First-The altering medium is Tri-
poll Stone which does not receive into
its pores the filth and germs it extracts
and which is always the same. no
matter how long in use.
Second-The action of the filter
downward, from an upper to a lower
jar, passes the water, drop by drop,
through the air, restoring the oxygen
thereby which the water may have lost
from stagnation, confinement, or other
wise, and imparting to it freshness OF
taste, sparkle and vitality.
Third-Its action is as rapid as is
consistent with efficacy. A too rapid
filtering does not wholly remove inn
purities-
Fourth-Every part is accessible for
cleaning, and without laborious effort.
Thorough cleanliness is the chief requ-
isite of any good filter.
Fifth-The jars being made either OF
stoneware or porcelain insures water
being kept pure and uncontaminated
after being filtered.
Sixth-Stoneware for those who de-
sire an efficient yet low-priced filter,
and the finest porcelain, decorated to
suit, enables the SUCCESS to accom-
modate itself to the wants of all in
the matter of price.
Seventh-Its construction admits
also of its capacity being adapted to
suit the wants of all, from the indi-
vidual tourist to the largest hotel or
laundry.
Since introducing the Success Fill
ter, we have sold large number of
them, and they give perfect satisfac-
ton.

An Interesting Coincidence,

1t is a curious coincidence that the
new battleship Alabama, which is now
being constructed at Cramps shipyard,
Philadelphia, is No. 900 on their list OF
vessels constructed. The Confederate
cruiser Alabama. which created 80 much
havoc with commerce during the war,
was No. 900 on the construction list of
the Lairds Of England, and for several
months after her purchase by the Con-
federate government was known as No.
900, until she was ohristened Alabama.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26-In less than one
hour at noon today fire destroyed s1,2OO-
600 worth of property on the north
branch of the Chicago river, in a dilapi-
dated locality known as Goose Island.
The Pacific grain elevators, A and B,
owned by the Chicago and Pacific Ele-
vator company, were completely destroy
ed and several frame dwellings adjoining
were swept away in the avalanche of
flames. There were more than a mil
lion bushels of wheat stored in the two
great elevators. The loss on wheat is es-
timated at 1851, goo, on corn $4,000, and a
small loss on oats. The loss on the
buildings and machinery is placed at
nearly S300,G Insurance fully covers the
losses.
Superintendent Perry said the fire
started in elevator b, in the south part.
and he believed it was caused by sparks
from passing tug in the river. No en-
ployee of the company knows anything
more definite of the origin of the fire. A
more dangerous spot for big fire to start
could be found in the city. Close
to the burned structures are the Armour
elevator, the biggest in the world the
immense mailing house of Hale & Curtis,
and the extensive docks and sheds of
the Crescent Coal company. Burning
grain and falling roofs and walls ignited
the roof of the malt house every few
minutes and a dozen leads of hose were
needed to save the building from de-
struction. When the first of the % en-
CINE companies arrived on the scene a
water attack was at once made on the
boiler room where the fire was reported
to have started but in a few minutes
the firemen were forced by binding
steam and fierce heat to beat a hasty
retreat, leaving behind them part of
their hose equipment
Five firemen of another company who
were fighting the blaze from the roof of
the elevator Office. a one-story brick
building had a narrow escape from
death. The roof they were on fell in
by the building catching fire underneath
them and they fell with it before a word
of warning could be given. Fortunately
the firemen seized the hose, and the walls
projecting a little above the collapsed
roof, they hung over the fiery furnace
until rescued by their comrades.
A hundred or more freight cars on the
Milwaukee & st. Paul road were rescued
from beneath the flaming pillars at the
peril of the railroad men who coupled
the cars, and then some had to be left.

CAMDEN, n. J.. Oct 26.-Hon. Car
ret, a Hobart, the Republican vice
presidential candidate, made his first
formal address Of the campaign here
tcnight. He was enthusiastically re-
ceived.
Mr.. Hobart and party, including Gov
ernor john w. Grlggs, State Commit
Leeman William Petite and Hobart
Iuttle, secretary to the governor ar
rived in Philadelphia from Jersey City
shortly after o'clock this afternoon
and were driven to the Hotel Bellevue
in that city, where luncheon was
served. They We're then escorted to
this city, and taken to the head
quarters of the Camden Republican
cub, where an informal reception was
held by Mr.. Hobart and the governor.
The reception lasted from 4 O'Clock to
6 O'Clock and during this time a con-
stant stream of persons was greeted
by the distinguished guest The party
was then entertained at dinner by
United States Senator SewaH at his
residence, and at O'Clock they pro-
ceeded to the Temple theatre, where
Mr.. Hobart and Governor Griggs made
addresses
The city was gaily decorated in
honor OF the occasion, the display of
flags and bunting being elaborate.
AFTER opposing the Wilson bill, the
speaker turned his attention to the
financial question, and dissected the
money plank of. the Chicago platform.
which convention, he declared was not
Democrats gathering. He argued
upon the fallacy of the movement OF
the silver cause. Mr.. Hobart de-
clared that the only persons who would
be benefited by the free and unlimited
coinage of silver would be silver mine
owners and silver bullion dealers. and
he was emphatic in stating that it
would make every other mans dol
lar worth 80 cents
Mr.. Hobart treated the money issue
in concise manner and cIassed as
persons who would suffer the most
by this debauching proposition" the
savings fund depositors, those inter
ested in building and loan associations,
pensioners, life insurance policy-hold-
ers and wage-earners. all of whom
would receive just half of the face
value of their claims.
Il have but little patience with this
silver business" the nominee went on
to say, "for it seems to me a bare
statement Of what it is would damn
it."
Mr.. Hobart stated that the reputable
Democrats are not supporting Bryan
He quoted the financial plank of the
Republican platform and concluded:
Such is tine Republican platform,
and such is the platform upon which I
stand. l accept its principles. | APP

CoNSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 26.-while
Mgr. Bartholomew, who on Aug. 9 last,
was selected as locunn Atenens of the

of the city today he was attacked by
four men who attempted to murder
him. The escort accompanying Mgr.
Bartholomew seized the would-be as
sassins and turned them over to the
police. An examination elected the
fact that one of the prisoners was an
Armenian grocer. Mgr. Bartholomew
has excited the hostility of the Ar
menians by his subseryiepce to the
sultan, and the attempt a murder him.
is undoubtedly due to this feeling. He
is highly esteemed by the Turks for
his Mohammedan sympathies.
