In Austria the man who loses both
his hands in an accident can claim the
whole of his life insurance money, on
the ground that he has lost the means
of maintaining himself. Loss of the
right hand reduces the claim from 20
to so per cent. of the total.

LADY HELEN'S CASE.
A Confidential Letter Sent to the w.
C. T. u. Leaders.

CHICAGO, Oct 16.-The following
confidential letter, relating to the action
of Lady Henry Somerset, has been
mailed to the leaders of the w. G.
T. u:
To Our White Ribbon Sisters: The annual
address of the president at Toronto and Buff
falo, and the resolutions adopted by the con-
vention will show beyond all controversy
that neither in respect to total abstinence,
prohibition or the legal regulation of social
vice has the W. G. T. u, in the smallest
particular lowered its standard. AS these con-
ventions are soon to assemble, it has been
thought best to let their current and au-
thoritative declarations of principle and
method go forth to the public rather than
the statements Of officers and individuals.
The Union Signal published brief state
ment of the situation in England as
possible after Miss Slack's arrival, and by
it's commentary, showed that it disagreed
with Lady Henry Somersets view. But it
did not forget that she is a comrade be-
loved and honored whose devotion, ceaseless
work and remarkable ability have been of
incalculable service to the cause we have
derest consideration of us all. That she will
receive this consideration from the great body
Of our thoughtful and self-respecting White
Rtbboners persuaded
1t seems to us that as there is need to
fear any lowering Of the standards always
maintained by the w. c. T. U. it will be the
better part Of wisdom to await the authori-
tative utterances of the great conventions so
soon to meet. Lady Henry Somerset, is far
to her anxieties and cares. Be it our part
evermore, with malice towards none with
charity to all, to hold the Eight up higher,

CANADA'S CONVENTIONS.
Evidence of Sealing Experts, 1t Is

BUFFALO, n. Y, Oct. ia special
dispatch to the Express from Ottawa
says: The Canadian authorities have
for some time been preparing for the
eventuality of a conference by seal eX-
perts at Washington, Notwithstanding
the success of their protest against
Great Britain entering into negotiations
with Russia and Japan as parties
thereto. Commissioner Maccun, who

still more important, if true, is the
report that the experts have ascer-
tanned other causes than starvation to
account for the heavy mortality among
the seal herds on the islands. 1t is not
generally known that there were reas-
onS, other than those advanced in the
diplomatic note of the foreign o1hce,
for England's refusal to entertain the
PROPOSAL of a conference including Rus

having once admitted the principle of
an interest in the question by those
nations, Canada could not back out Of

PLAN OF FEDERATION.
Details of the New Railway Organ
izatiOn Made Public.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Oct 16.-The proposed
plan of federation, ratified by the con-
ference Of the grand chiefs of the rail-
way brotherhoods, held here during the
week, was made public today Although
the conventions of the firemen, train
men, telegrapherS and conductors had
indorsed the proposed plan, it has been
referred to the lodges for ratification.
The engineers have not yet considered
the plan, but Grand Chief Arthur at
tended the conference, indorsed the
federation idea and promised to pre-
sent it to the grand lodge meeting. The
organization is called the Federation
of American Railway employees. None
of the brotherhoods belonging to it can
belong to any other railway alliance
at the same time. The most imperative
articles relate to strikes. They provide
that each organization must make
every effort to settle its own griev-
ances, but if it fails, it can call for
meeting of the executive committee of
the federation. If a majority consider
the complain just one. the board shall
make united effort to settle it, and if
this fails, shall vote on a strike. Each
organization shall have one vote, and a
general strike shall not be ordered un-
less all the organizations favor it. If
they do all the brotherhood men on
the system affected shall =go out on
strike. No brotherhood men shall take
part in any strike not sanctioned by
the federation.

the house of commons when the reSO-

tween gold and silver was passed. The
chancellor of the eXchequer and his
colleagues still maintain the position
then taken, that the government cannot
alter the gold standard in the United
Kingdom, but they have in the interval
consulted the Indian government with
regard to the opening of the Indian
mints, and reply has been received
which it is understood is strongly ad-
verse to the proposal. Owing to the
difficulties raised in India, the cabinet
members feel they are unable to give
an immediate undertaking to reopen

The Secret of Perpetual Life About
to BE Discovered.

to BE Discovered.
The celebrated DR. Virchow, Of Ber-
lin, recently stated his belief that the
secret of all diseases is about to be dis
covered. He believes that all disease
germs can be destroyed, leaving human
life free to continue Indefinitely. That
it is minute organisms that cause dis
ease; that they can be destroyed; and,
when destroyed, there will be no dis
ease, and people will continue to live,
if not always at least to attain great
age, like the tabled Antediluvians.
In the meantime, however, we have
the disease germs to cope with the best
way we can. They attack us morning,
noon and night. They are in the air
we breathe, the water we drink and the
food we eat. The only thing we can do
to protect ourselves is to fortify the
system against them. The strengthen
ing effect of Pe-ru-na is a reliable pro-
lection. The disease germs can not
exist in the system when Pe-ru-na is
taken 1t is a perfect remedy for all
low, weak states of the system, and
brings vitality and strength of youth
If the mucous membranes are healthy
the disease germs can not enter the
system. Pe-ru-na produces clean,
healthy, normal mucous membranes.

SOCIALISM DENOUNCED.
New Turn Given the Discussions at
Battle Creek.

BATTLE, Mich, Oct. 16.-The trend
of the papers and discussions at the
civic conference during the week has
been quite socialist. Today Rev. A.
E. Crag, of Albion college, read pa
per on THE Ethics of Socialism" in
which he denounced socialistic doc
trines, and created something of SEN
sation He gave review of socialism,
and outlined sOCialistic teachings. He
said that the ethical idea of socialism
was not a lofty one. 1t rejected re
ligion and morals; it destroyed incen-
tive and aspiration, and, in practice,
would break up the home. The equal
ity attained under that system would
be dead level. If material we'll being
was assured, there would be no effort.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
The best development must come
through personal development. Social

ROOF TIMBERS ROTTEN.
Cause of the Crash in the Cincinnati
Theater.

o. CINCINNATI, Oct 16.-The common
expression today, with reference to the
disaster at Robinson's opera house, is
what good fortune it was that the
house had so few people in it."
1t has not yet been definitely deter
mined how many were killed, and the
unknown man who was killed is still
unidentified. The chief interest now
centers in the cause of the dreadful ac-
cident. From careful examination it
appears that not only was the con-
struction faulty, but the work and ma
terial were defective. In a word, the
timberS were rotten.
The walls. which are not more than
eight inches, were dry and parched
with age There is space Of ten feet
in the center between the ceiling and
the roof In order to support the roof
and ceiling, trusses were run across
from the west to the east wall. There
were four of these trusses. All were
made of wood, and were connected or
ioined by pieces of jCist with bolt hold
ings. Between these were joists OF the
ordinary kind. Between the two truss
es. in the middle, was hung the dome.
1t was nine feet tall, fifteen feet in di-
ameter, and about forty feet in cir
cUmference. The inside of it was lath-
ed and plastered and highly decorated.
From the center of it hung a chandelier
containing forty or fifty incandescent
lamps The dome was made of heavy
timbers, bolts and nails, but there was
no iron about its construction.
The space between the ceiling and
the roof might be called an attic, but
Il was never used for any purpose.
The only time any one visited the
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-10-17

apartment, was to let down the chan
delier but that has not been done this
year.
After the accident, an investigation
showed that the truSses and tlmbers
holding the dome were rotten. fhey
had been in use so long that they had
warped and parted. This caused the
bolts and nails to loosen.
The huge rafters composing the truss
that fell in were as dry as punk, and
the pieces of joist that connected them
were worm eaten and rotten. The
nails and bolts were rusty, and every
thing went to show that this entire
part of the building was in such a dan
gerous condition, that it is strange that
it had not been discovered long ago.
After the dust had cleared away, the
dome was found right on the backs of
the parquet chairs. 1t settled as it fell.
1t is thought on account of it's forma-
ton, the air caught it, and did not per-
nit it to descend with as much force
as one would expect, as it's position on
the back of the chairs showed.
Another theory advanced to account
for the falling of the dome and trusses
is that the building has been injured by
the jarring of the heavy machinery OF
an electric light plant in the nelghbor-
hood. The high walls had no floor sup
ports except such IS were used IN con-
structing the dress circle and balconies
across the front of the building oppo-
site the stage. The walls were not
massive and at the time the house was
built there was criticisms of the work
manship Residents in the neighbor-
hood say their dwellings are seriously
shaken and injured by the jarring
machinery, and suits have been
brought in one or two cases to recover
damages. 1t is argued that these high
and not specially well built walls have
been injured in this way. A lineman
who recently was about the dome put
ting in light wires said the structure
shook perceptibly under his move

LONDON, Oct. 16-Up to a late hour
this evening the United States none
tary commissioners had not received
any communication from the British
government regarding the answer eX-
pected by Senator Wolcott and his col
leagues to the proposal made. No def
mite information can be obtained with
regard to the action of the cabinet,
but there is every reason to believe
that the governments position is that
it will not enter into an International
monetary conference. Messages re-
ceived from the members of the Amer
lean commission say they have receiv-
ed no information in regard to the
action taken at the cabinet council
today, but they hear that a statement
will be issued next week to the effect
that the government will make no sug-
gestion to the Bank of England as to
any alteration of it's present reserve.
The government cannot do more than
make a recommendation to the bank.

lowing semi-official statement tonight:
"The cabinet considered the subject in
pursuance of the pledges given in their
name by A. J. Balfour, first lord of
