FOUR OF A KIND.
And All Brainy.

-Four business men sat talking in an Of
flee, when the subject of food and drink
came up.
One said that he had suffered for some
six months from peculiar Sensat ton in the
head and had been und eT the care OF
physician until he happened to read an
Article OF the coffee tOpers of Paris, in
which the testimony of a number Of physi
clans was given, to the effect that coffee
contained the same poisonous elements as
stTycimine, morphine, tobacco, and whisky,
but in smaller quantities.
This set him to thinking, with a result
tina coffee was left out of his diet, and IN
less than a week the head trouble was
gone. Each of the other three gentlemen
added their testimony to the effect that
coffee had proved a sly and iHsidious
enemy instead of friend, as in each case
rad been produced by even moderate coffee
drink ing.
One added the remark that ut was hard
to give over coffee, bat got some Postum
coffee, made Of grains at Battle Creek,
Mich, and it is so perfect in color and
taste that L am enjoying my coffee now
daily, as are also my wife and children,
for Postum is made of pure grains, wheat,
etc. and is nourishhg and fattening, a
pure food drink, and another feature not
to be despised IL, the fact that it goes
about three times as far as coffee, although,
OF course, the economy is not nearly so
great question as thatof health and Conf
fort for myself and family"

This led TO the discovery OF the money,
which disappeared from the express coin

had been suspected at first. but as ne con-
tinued 10 live in a frugal manner and at

wrong.
They were on the verge Of promoting him
some time ago, but the employees detected
evidences OF dementia- He appeared TO
be brooding over some trouble, and the
officials were worried for fear the man
had been wTongfuHy accused, and was SUI
fering from the humiliation.

Cortes Summoned to Assemble Tomorrow

Madrid, Aug. o.-Senor Canovas Del
was assassinated yesterday at Santa
Agueda by an anarchist. The murderer
fired three shots, two of which struck the
premier Ian the head and the other in the
chest. The wounded man fingered un-
conscious for two hours and died. His
wife was but a short distance away when
he fell.
The queen regent, on hearing the sad
news. dispatched her own physician, DIR.
Bustos, by a special train from San Sc
bastian. Later, on learning that Cano-
vas was dead, she wired her condolences
to the widow.
The health of Senor Canovas had i'm
proved greatly of late. He had been
leading a very quiet life, although he at
tended to the business Of state.
At the moment Of the assassination he
was waiting in the gallery of the bath
ing establishment for his wife, who was
TO Join him for lunch. Suddenly the as
sassin, who had the appearance of an
ordinary visitor, approached and fired
at him point blank, one bullet passing
through the body and coming out be-
hind under the left shoulder, and the
other two lodging in the head. He fell
instantly and never recovered conscious
ness.
Several medical men and his wife were
unremitting in their attentions to the
sufferer, but his wounds, unhappily,

PATTERSON AVENUE FIRE.
GROCERY AND MARKET or MRS.
FRANK NARCOTICS BURNED.
Spontaneous CombustIon In the vicinIty ef
the OIL Tank Thought to be the Cause.

About 1925 o'clock last evening Oficsr
Edward II. Reynolds discovered Q IRE i'm
the small building owned by Mrs. Frank
Narcotic and occupied by her a. grocery
and market, aa the corner OF Main and
Aborn streets. The ofiicer ut once sent In
an alarm from box 81, located at the cor
ner OF Main street and Patterson avenue,
and by the time the department arrived
the flames were coming through the roof
and windows OF the structure.
Within short time after the arrival OF
the firemen the blaze was extinguished,
although not until the stock OF groceries
in the place had received severe drench-
ing. The total lost will be about S40O which
is partially covered by insurance.
How the fire originated Is not known,
but 1t is probable that spontaneous COM
bustion In the vicinity OF the oil tank was
the cause. In responding to the alarm
combination hose wagon No. met with q
slight accident, but fortunately no one
was injured.
The piece Of apparatus, In charge Of
driver Alfred jerks, was going along Main
street at rapid rate Of speed, and Just ~
1t reached the junction of Lonsdale avenue,
an electric car came around the bend ON
Main street.
The arrival OF the car cut OF the hose
wagon, and to avoid collision Driver
jerks was compelled to make short turn
into Lonsdale avenue. In doing 80 the
pole Of the wagon struck the drinking
fountain, damaging 1t slightly and break
ing the pole.
Driver Benedict Of Chief Wilmarth's
wagon at once secured another pole, and
the apparatus was again in commission
within 10 minutes Of the time OF the acci-
dent.

Mr.. A. r. Donath Entertains q Party at His
Summer Home.
"At 8 o'clock In the morning." was
once popular song, q creation of melody
and romance. Yesterday three men OF
Pawtucket found the lesson of the hour to
be real and earnest, for they were called
out of their Sunday morning dreams, those
visions of peace and laziness, to appear be-
fore that Judge Of good things, mine host
Donath of the City Hotel, and sentenced
by his honor to spend the day at his sum-
mer cottage on Pleasant Bluff.
An early breakfast was panacea for
for heavy eyelids, and Q carriage at the
door suggested pleasure that would not be
all q dream.
Pleasant Bluff deserves It's name, but 1t
can be too quickly reach when drive to
1t is as perfect as that of yesterday. The
latchstring of the Donath cottage was
hanging out, however, awaiting the sum-
mons of the party for whom bathing,
boating and fishing had been arranged,
and strict attention to the days business
provided an appetite that belongs to the
place, and the call to dinner caused q
tumultuous rush for what was offered.
Chowder disappeared like dew before a
morning sun; fish that sacrificed them
s,lves to the occasion were quickly de-
voured; and there was kind of. sausage
the original receipt Of which put blood
and thunder into the German army, but
that twelve or fifteen of sends an Ameri-
can to sleep.
Then there was fishing again by the
pirty; thirty-three Of the fnny tribe gave
up their lives and one Of them was more
than three inches long; and that's no lie.
A long day, In It's number of hours, was
quickly passed and nightfall found peace
ful, happy, tired band OF pilgrims on their
way the the city's never-ending routine.
