FROM THE CHIMNEY DOWN.
Innovations in Brickwork as Appli-
ed to the Modern Sky scrapers

ed co the A1OQ9En SKY 0CEapoIS
St. Louis, June 16.-It has been said
that the brickwork of a modern, bridge
built sky scraper could be begun at the
top and built downward just as easily
as by beginning on the foundation and
mounting skyward.
The Fullerton building at Seventh
and Pine offers partial example of this
possibility, for after building up to the
eighth story, a gang of bricklayers be-
gan yesterday at the tenth floor and put
in the brick walls around that floor,
leaving two stories intervening without
walls.
From below the upper brickwork
looks as if it were resting on the air, or
rather the heavy, ornate cOrnice run
ming around the tenth floor looks as if
it had no substantial support, and hun
dreds of spectators stand looking, puz-
zled at what seems to be an unneces-
Sary and daring exploit in building. The
cornice has been there for two days, and
the bric6work which was piled on il
yesterday seems to be quite safe.
Architect w. Albert Swasey, who has
charge of the work, says that there is
nothing remarkable in the method
adopted.
The portion of the lower walls that
is ready for the cornices and brickwOrk
is too narrow to work a large gang of
men, so we started a gang higher up.
Those cCrnices of stone are fastened to
iron plates and are absolutely secure
It would be possible to wall IN the top
floor first. but it is never done.

J. P. HARLAN KILLED.
Brother of Associate Justice Run
Down by Kentucky Train-once
Lived in Kansas.

Louisville, June 16.-James P. Harlan,
a brother of Associate Justice Harlan,
was accidentally killed by a train on
the Louisville Henderson & st. Louis
railway yesterday afternoon near the
city almshOuse. Mr.. Harlan, who was
about 90 years old, once was one of the
most prominent lawyers in the state.
He was, however, the victim of an I'M
contrOllable appetite for liquor and was
incapacitated for business, despite the
efforts of his relatives and friends to
bring about his cure.
He practiced law for several years
in Kansas, and, returning to Louisville
about three years ago, voluntarily en-
tered the almshOuse, where he has since
resided.
Judge Harlan was on the way to the
railway station to purchase the even
ing paper, as was his custom, when
the train overlook him. He was not
dependent on the city charities, but has
always been literally supplied with
money by his relatives. He preferred
to live at the institution because of
being a personal friend of the superin-
tendent

MADE HEARTS BEAT FAST.
A Wheelman Climbs Into a Perilous
Place on Brooklyn Bridge.

New York. June ia wheeIman who
may have been a practical joker created
a sensation on the Brooklyn bridge to-
day by climbing to the narrow girder
which guards the south roadway on the
outside of the huge structure and de-
Hberately lying down. He lay on
strip of riveted iron scarcely nine inches
wide, and his slightest move would have
precipitated him into the river. Hun
dreds who saw him believed he was in
tent upon suicide The guards on the
passing trains shouted for him to get
down. Pedestrians on the path called
for the police. and the excitement for
time was intense.
He was arrested by Policeman Dow
ling, but was let go by Captain Ward,
of the bridge police, upon his explana-
ton that he had been riding a hot pace,
that he was warm and that his actions
had not been with any intent to COM
nit suicide. The police did not even
ask his name.

I could not sleep nights. I was so dizzy

I could not enjoy life. AS people will
when ailing, I tried first one thing then
another and sometimes resorted to regu>

benefit from anything. I finally heard of
DR.. Charcot's Kola Nervine Tablets, and
upon the recommendation of my druggist
I tried them faithfully for some time. I
was encouraged from the start to keep

AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
Big Slash in Passenger Rates
East.
ChicagO-New York Ticket Worth
Only SIS.
Brokers Take Advantage of the Fight
to Secure Hundreds of Round
Trip Tickets-General De-
moralization Predicted.

Chicago, June 16.-Fifteen dollars or
less is likely to be the ruling fare be-
tween Chicago and New York until
September L Between Chicago and
Boston no one need pay more than SIT
up to and including the same date.
PrObab ilities are, however, that he who
travels on these cheap tickets must Sc
cure them of a scalper. Yesterday there
were at least 400 of them in the hands
of Chicago brokers.
For several weeks a conflict has been
in progress between the Chicago-St.
Paul lines. The strong lines laid the
blame upon the Chicago Great Western.
Wisconsin Central, and Minneapolis &
St. Louis, which refused to join the
western passenger association on the
ground that they had been unfairly
treated by the strong lines under the
old pooling agreement. The 800" line
also acted as a free lance and compelled
those roads to act independently.
The executive officers of the various
ChicagO-St. Paul roads met yesterday
in pursuance of a call issued by Vice
President Truesdale of the Rock Island
and Vice President Harris of the Bur
HugtOn to consider the situation and
bring about settlement of the existing
troubles
Great was their dismay when Chair
man Caldwell laid before them a COM
municatiOn which showed that some
of the strong lines had been guilty of
worse Offenses than the weak lines The
serious charge was made against the

sued on account of teachers excursions

TEN DAYS
Without Coffee Makes Some Wonder
full Changes

If the new x rays were used to photo
graph our own individual liver and stOm-
ach, we might be astonished and likely
frightened, If we had been suffering from
the use of coffee or tobacco. Coffee has
the same poisonous alkaloids as strych-
nine morphine, tobacco and whisky, and
its daily use, even in small quantities, is
the direct cause of that weak dragging
feeling and many troubles of stomach,
heart liver and bowels. Tones may patch
one up for little time or make one feel
a little better. But what man. with even
a little plain common sense, but sees that
the only way to keep well is to throw
over the habit that causes the trouble.
Ten days freedom from coffee and ten
days use of Postum Cereal coffee will
produce SO radical a change towards
health and strength, that the facts be-
come plain to any one. Don't believe it,
but try it and judge for yourself and
then wonder why you would daily sub
init to the old physical discomforts week
in and week out. leading most unpleas-
ant existence, when by very little at
tention to the breakfast beverage, one
could be transported back to the bound
Ing health of bOyhoOd.
Postum grain coffee looks like old Mo-
cha but everyone. children and all, can
drink old Postum and digest it without
trouble
